Chapter 57: Chapter 57: Endurance and Wealth
"No!"
"No!"
"Nothing at all, damn, where did this pauper come from!"
Inside the room, Elis looked frantically. He quickly rummaged through the drawers and suitcase in the room, but found nothing valuable besides a few changes of clothes.
He couldn’t imagine that a young man staying in a luxury cabin would be even more basic than those sleeping in the pods downstairs.
Where are your luxury items?
Where are your skincare products?
Where is your virtual equipment?
At the very least, bring a few pieces of expensive clothing!
Elis was so mad that his teeth itched. From his looks and demeanor, he initially thought the man was a playboy uninterested in mundane trinkets.
He believed he’d hooked a big fish this time, but who would have thought it was a shrimp not even enough to fill a gap between teeth.
Damn, you’re really good at putting on a front!
Even I, an old hand, was fooled by you!
Elis quickly put on his coat, tied his bowtie, and quietly closed the door.
He couldn’t stay here anymore; he needed to quickly return to the lower cabin, change his face, and continue hiding.
Tap, tap, tap
Footsteps came from the corner ahead.
Elis lowered his head, his facial skin twitched, and his bones slightly deformed. Soon, a brand-new face appeared.
"Back so soon."
Seeing the person coming towards him, Elis’s heart tightened. He immediately stopped, bowed respectfully like a waiter.
Qin Tian nodded and walked past Elis, continuing forward.
Elis sighed in relief, straightened up, and walked towards the elevator.
Just then, a faint voice came from behind.
"So, that’s your superpower? The ability to change faces at will?"
Hearing this, Elis was startled, but his long-standing experience quickly helped him adjust his state of mind. He turned around with a confused expression and said:
"Sir, are you talking to me?"
Qin Tian stared at him and slowly said, "It seems you can only change your face but not your voice."
These words made Elis’s heart sink completely, yet he forced a defense, scratching his head innocently:
"Sir, what on earth are you talking about?"
Qin Tian approached, step by step, his steady footsteps and deep, calm gaze making Elis tense all over, cold sweat breaking out on his forehead.
"Do you know where you slipped up?"
Qin Tian stood in front of Elis, pinching his collar lightly, and softly said:
"It’s the smell, that cheap cigarette smell, which shouldn’t be on a waiter in this area."
In an instant, it was like a thunderbolt over Elis.
He never would have thought that he was exposed due to the smell of smoke on himself.
What puzzled him was that he had only been in a non-smoking area for less than five minutes. Even if he had a trace of the smoke scent, it should have dissipated by now.
This man had a nose like a dog’s, with such a keen sense of smell?
"Sir, you..."
Elis awkwardly smiled, but suddenly his eyes changed sharply. He broke a smoke bomb, and the hallucinogenic mist rapidly enveloped the entire corridor.
Elis held his breath and turned to flee.
When faced with an emergency, the heart beats faster, and the breathing rhythm changes uncontrollably, making it inevitable to inhale external gases.
And the mist from the smoke bomb, once inhaled even slightly, would render anyone unconscious, even a Spiritualist.
"Damn, I have to find a way to hide."
Gritting his teeth, Elis was filled with regret and anger.
Not only did he gain nothing, but now his identity was exposed. The company operating the ship would undoubtedly conduct a thorough inspection of all cabins. Even with his face-changing ability, the situation was extremely unfavorable.
Damn it, if it weren’t for you, you damn pauper...
Bang~
Before Elis could finish cursing in his mind, a huge force kicked him out, sending him flying through the air, flipping several times before finally stopping.
"Your fighting skills are a bit weak."
Qin Tian grabbed Elis by the nape like a chick, speaking in a calm tone:
"With this superpower, why not cozy up to a rich lady instead of resorting to theft."
Elis felt his neck was about to be snapped, yet when Qin Tian mentioned this topic, a flash of humiliation appeared in his eyes. A past he didn’t want to remember surfaced in his mind.
"Do you think I haven’t tried? I’d rather be a thief now than a plaything for those women again," Elis said with a flushed face, voice filled with grief and anger.
Young man, seems like you have quite a story~
Too bad you don’t understand one truth: the flower language of the wire ball is endurance and wealth.
If you want to appear glamorous in public, you must endure the hardships in private.
Some things, if you endure, will pass.
Beep beep beep~~
The metal walls, indicator lights flashing madly, alarms blaring.
Qin Tian lifted Elis up and calmly said, "Here’s a piece of advice, never reveal your superpower in prison, or you might end up with more than you can handle."
You are quite a person
Elis smiled bitterly, feeling that in his current physical state, he might not even make it to prison.
The pain in his nape left Elis gasping, his heart was pounding wildly, his face turning redder, even purplish.
Seeing this, Qin Tian frowned and immediately loosened his grip.
"Hey, you..."
Before he could finish speaking, Elis clutched his heart in pain, body curling up, convulsing.
After about ten seconds, he finally stopped moving.
A green orb of light flew from Elis’s body and entered Qin Tian’s chest.
At that moment, Qin Tian didn’t feel the joy of acquiring a new talent.
This was not a battlefield, although Elis wasn’t directly killed by him, he was indeed dead because of him.
He wasn’t sure if, according to the current Empire’s laws, he would have to bear responsibility.
Tap, tap, tap
A group of masked spaceship security personnel quickly arrived, surrounding Qin Tian and Elis, their eyes vigilant and sharp.
"Sir, please raise your hands and lie on the ground."
Qin Tian frowned; raising his hands was acceptable, but lying on the ground was really hard for him to accept.
Seeing Qin Tian remain motionless, the security personnel swiftly signaled, and spiritual pressure from their bodies emanated in waves.
They were all Spiritualists.
Seeing this, Qin Tian sighed, this was truly a crisis he had nothing to do with~
He raised his hands, preparing to comply with their demands while quickly explaining.
Just then, a familiar voice came to his ear.
"Wait a minute!"
Yan Qing strode over, raising his right hand to show credentials.
"I am Yan Qing from the Silver Gray Star Special Warfare Management Office, and this is Major Qin Tian."
Yan Qing~
Major Qin
The security team leader’s eyes shifted. As the person in charge of security for the luxury VIP area, he needed to keep track of the guests in the area, knowing which ones were important.
And Yan Qing was undoubtedly one of the heavyweight figures on the client list.
"So it’s Director Yan and Major Qin, my apologies. The mist here is too thick; I couldn’t see Major Qin’s face clearly."
The security team leader gestured, and the nearby security team members took a half-step back, retracting their spiritual pressure.
Phew, fortunately, the cavalry arrived.
Qin Tian breathed a sigh of relief.
