Chapter 64: Chapter 62: Kuang Xin’s Hot Party (Part 2)
John approached with a head full of questions.
He had been scanned several times on the way, his weapons completely exposed, yet no one came to stop him.
Oulos was standing next to the security checkpoint.
She wore high heels, a deep V-neck dress with sequins, with her alluringly colored skin exposed.
Although you could see traces of synthetic material, it was filled with temptation.
"Follow me, John. Let’s get you changed first."
Oulos led him through the security checkpoint, alarms blaring, but the man in sunglasses calmly reached out to silence it.
He didn’t even glance at the two of them.
Very professional.
"Where is this place?"
John was trailing behind.
He looked around at the interior decor.
To his surprise, beneath the ruined factory exterior, there was a luxurious palace on par with Bolago Club’s VIP area.
The inside was divided into numerous rooms.
Some were spacious, others narrow.
Oulos’s high heels stepped across the soundproof carpet.
Her full curves swayed, inviting yet elusive.
"I don’t feel like dealing with men this month, so don’t get any ideas. There’ll be eye-opening moments for you, sweetheart."
She turned to John with a smile and kissed her own ring.
A shirtless male attendant approached from the opposite side.
His muscles were oily and full.
His face was a new market model faceplate.
He passed by with a tray, his neck implanted with an advanced Sex Doll chip.
John had seen this with the purple-haired girl, where nothing happening during service would leave a memory.
Oulos placed her glass on the tray.
She turned and led John into an empty room, furnished with a soft bed, drinks, and various... stimulating gadgets.
"What style of beast do you want to be?"
Oulos opened the wardrobe, searching for the right size of men’s wear.
"I want to broaden your horizons, darling. I’ve hyped you up as very professional, so at least your attire should match the scene, right?"
John eventually chose a suit.
[Equipment: Waterproof Seamless Smooth Two-Piece]
Oulos dressed him like a TV station guest.
"Store your package in the locker later, hide the revolver on you. In this kind of setting, make sure no gun goes off, absolutely!"
She tapped John’s chest with her fingertip.
Oulos closed the sliding door, pushed from inside, and the whole wardrobe rotated ninety degrees to reveal a passageway.
The noise instantly filled the small room.
"Damn, this soundproofing is impressive."
All John managed to say before his attention was drawn away.
In the dimly-lit hall center was a glass stage.
Under the spotlight, several supermodels occupied different positions on the stage, twisting their bodies.
Below the stage, a bevy of beauties.
John followed Oulos forward.
The architect must be a genius, always finding ways to trap views unexpectedly, creating small spaces of both privacy and openness.
"Welcome to the adult Disneyland."
Oulos whispered to John, "Your scanning database runs deep, right? How much can you see of the person in the middle of the stage?"
John looked toward the dark corner between several beams of light as she spoke.
An Asian man was speaking in the shadows.
[Name: Kuang Xin]
[Affiliation: Tiebang Logistics]
[Prosthetic Body: Rapid Speed Heavy Cannon (Custom), Neural Sensors, etc.]
[File: Eden City PR Director, Resident Records Deleted (Tiebang Logistics Sub-Database), Europe Branch Intelligence Officer, Outbound Records and Employment History Deleted (Messiah Sub-Database)]
"Why haven’t I seen him at Tiebang Logistics?"
John noticed the files on this guy were questionable. "Why is he listed with two separate companies..."
He was cut off mid-sentence.
Oulos casually grabbed a mask and placed it on John.
She whispered in his ear.
"Anyone can install a spoken translation plugin, watch your words, dear. Everyone here in Eden City has a secret or two."
Oulos pushed him into a small corner.
Her prosthetic eyes started to flicker.
John received the message.
[Kuang Xin is the leader of this place. His identity is quite complex; on the surface, he’s a new executive at Tiebang Logistics, but secretly he’s a commercial spy for Messiah. The intelligence specialists can only trace information this far.]
"Do you know more?"
[He’s the legitimate son of a famous Asian manufacturer, using his social gifts to make waves in European circles. Everyone loves to play with him; there’s no event he can’t arrange.]
"Is this guy really that impressive?"
[Mainly, it’s because of that powerful prosthetic below.]
John raised an eyebrow.
"Have you tried it?"
[Aren’t you afraid I’ll plant a bomb under your car? Anyway, I need to quickly establish a foothold in Eden City, and he’s the best partner, so I need him alive. Tonight, there will be some unexpected trouble.]
"Kuang Xin is heading this way."
John stood up behind her like a professional bodyguard.
Kuang Xin was an athletic Asian man, speaking Chinese, wearing only a golden robe and a bulging pair of golden shorts.
Subtitles appeared before John’s eyes.
[Damn, Oulos, how could you? Rejected me with the excuse of not touching men, and yet you’re secretly indulging here. (Chinese)]
"He’s your bodyguard."
Oulos let out a cold laugh.
[Sorry, bro, you gotta cover me. (Chinese)]
Kuang Xin quickly set aside the antics and naturally approached John’s side. Despite being a head shorter, he was very warmhearted.
[I am always loyal to the people around me. You’re one of us; tonight’s event isn’t explosive enough—only about twenty guests. Hang with me, and you’ll have bragging rights in your circle for a year! (Chinese)]
He supported John’s back.
[Hey, crouch down a bit, bro. Do you see that senator? Came with his wife—political marriage, playing separately. New America boasts over twenty genders. I can gather most of them here; which one do you want? (Chinese)]
John glanced at Oulos.
The latter smiled and walked toward another corner.
John activated his prosthetic eye scan and discovered Armored·Behemoth was there, seemingly with blood on his hands.
"What trouble did you stir up?"
John also sensed the atmosphere was off.
Kuang Xin’s expression rapidly changed; he forced a few awkward laughs and led him through a hidden passage.
The door behind them sealed tightly.
Noise instantly vanished.
Kuang Xin suddenly collapsed to the floor, panting rapidly, the golden cloak now soaked with sweat.
"Damn it... take me away, bro, I’ve been ambushed."
He trembled and faltered.
John immediately initiated a scan and found blood all over Kuang Xin’s crotch, the prosthetic he prided on was burning hot.
"F*ck me..."
Kuang Xin cursed, snatched John’s revolver, bit into his arm, and fired two shots into his lower body until a component dropped onto the carpet.
He let out a piercing wail, barely managing not to pass out.
John was shocked, quickly taking out hidden vials to inject him.
BIU! BIU!
Suddenly, two bullets pierced the wall, hitting behind John.
The sound was soft.
It must’ve been silenced.
"F*ck!"
John instantly grabbed the revolver and retaliated towards the holes in the wall—the sealant material was punctured in multiple spots, soundproofing failed, and the sound of a body hitting the ground followed.
He kicked open the secret door.
In the hallway stood a shirtless waiter, his prosthetic eyes flashed continually, the chip on his neck buzzed.
[Mission Objective Updated]
[Get Kuang Xin out of the party alive. (Optional)]
"Where did you employ these people, they’re out to kill their boss."
[Get me out, bro, even if I’m done for, toss my corpse outside the factory. (Chinese)]
Kuang Xin astoundingly managed not to faint by sheer force of will.
John paid no mind.
He first inspected the surroundings, then returned to the previous room to retrieve a rifle, coming back to support Kuang Xin.
"In your condition, you can’t ride a motorcycle. I need to find you a car."
[Cannot be seen by any guests, I’m begging you! (Chinese)]
"You’re really something else."
John sighed, unable to resist questioning.
"What did you think you blew off, you need urgent care now!"
[I’ve been ambushed by the Owl Town gang... if something goes wrong with me, reputations here will be destroyed, many will suffer. I can die, just make sure to keep my corpse out. (Chinese)]
Kuang Xin glared, then fainted directly.
