Chapter 261 Chapter 261: Plot ?
-----
Renji smiled and nodded, waving his hand to signal the girl not to be so formal, then first said to Keyji, "This isn't the place to talk, let's go outside"
Prompted by Renji, Keyji then somewhat came back to his senses from the beauty, noticing the displeased looks from many scholars around him, realizing his misconduct, he quickly nodded and left the lab with Renji.
Once outside in the corridor, Renji, like a true longtime friend, elbowed Keyji and asked with a smile:
"Brother, you're really not being fair, come on, tell me, how did you meet this cute miss? I remember you said last night you didn't know anyone in the Mechanical Alliance, right? So, you were lying to your buddy!?"
After Renji spoke, Lily blushed and shyly looked down, while Keyji appeared quite emotional.
"Don't mention it, my meeting with Lily was indeed just last night, right after we parted."
"Met just last night?" Follow current novels on novelb((in).(com)
"Yeah, actually, I have to thank you brother. If it wasn't for you with those black dream cough cough, anyway, right after we separated, I felt a bit bored and planned to drive around Dream City for a bit. Just then, I happened to see some street thugs harassing Lily on the road. How could I tolerate that? Of course, I immediately got out of the car to help!"
"And damn, those thugs turned out to be tough, some Black something gang members, totally without martial honor, even called in a bunch more people. I had no choice but to take Lily and temporarily avoid their edge. Luckily, our Kael Technology's employee bracelets detected my emergency situation, and Manager William came with the company's security in time. Hey, brother, you weren't there, you didn't see those gangsters seeing our company's force, directly scared shitless!"
Keyji, while talking, gestured to Renji, as if he had experienced a heroic rescue, gang chase, life-threatening speed, and then a narrow escape, filled with tension and thrill yet longing for more.
However, Renji's focus was elsewhere.
"Our... company?"
"Yeah, yeah, ah right, almost forgot to tell you, after last night I changed my mind, just signed a contract with Manager William this morning. So brother, now we are colleagues, haha!"
"How about it, isn't that considerate? How could I bear to leave only you alone abroad, so lonely without me, right? Now, it's good, we brothers can accompany each other in Dream City again!"
This is an open conspiracy.
The goal is to keep Keyji in Dream City and prevent him from returning.
'But...'
'Why?'
'What's the purpose of doing this?'
Renji didn't have to wait long, as Manager William soon spoke again.
"I'm sorry, Dr. Keyji, could I have my assistant continue to accompany you for a while? I have something to discuss with Dr. Renji alone."
"Eh? With brother Renji? Oh, about work, I see, then you guys go ahead, don't worry about us here, and no need to send an assistant, we can just stroll around ourselves, you guys go ahead!"
Upon hearing William's words, Keyji immediately understood, or rather, found an excuse for some alone time, and thus quickly disappeared down the corridor with Lily.
After the two left, only Renji and William remained alone, with William having a -"been waiting for a long time"- demeanor, smiling at Renji.
"Dr. Renji should have some time, right? Don't worry, it won't take too long. I want to provide you with some urgent information concerning Mr. Keyji's safety."
Hearing this, Renji understood why William had deliberately brought Keyji to the lab for a tour. The purpose was to get in touch with him.
From William's tone, he naturally regarded himself as an assistant, bodyguard, or spy sent by the Keyji's family. Isn't that indeed the case?
A scion of a major family traveling abroad alone, which family would rest easy? Officially, it's said to be a solo adventure, but in secret, there must be people watching over, and as of now, the person Keyji has been in contact with the most is him, so it's quite normal for William to misunderstand.
It seems Manager William, too, shares Professor Einstein's way of thinking, not believing in coincidences. A friend of Keyji must have been arranged from behind.
'In that case'
"Of course, after all, if something happened to Keyji, his sister would probably come looking for me first. Besides... actually, I also have some matters here, hoping to get Manager William's help."
"No problem, shall we go to my office? Dr. Renji, this way, please."
