"Wow, not only is there a snake with dual attributes, but this bear also has domain skills?"

"It can't be a domain skill. This is only a level three pet at most."

"It shouldn't be a domain skill, it just changes the terrain to control the opponent."

"Did you see that? That soldier retreated just in time. They must have practiced coordination a lot."

“Isn’t this a normal competitive attitude?”

"I think their team is no worse than those teams from other regions. I want to support them!"

"Don't be happy too soon. Those teams all have beastmasters, and their team has a burden. It's hard to say who will win if they face each other."

After winning, Lin Manman and others planned to continue watching the game, but not long after Lin Manman sat down, the seat next to her was occupied by a strange man.

"Hello, Miss Lin Manman." The man looked about 30 years old, with a very retro monocle, high eyebrows and deep eyes, not like a pure-blooded Chinese. He sat down next to Lin Manman, and his tone sounded very friendly.

The teammates sitting on the other side of Lin Manman all looked at the strange man at the same time.

"Hello...is there anything I can help you with?" Lin Manman looked at the other person again and again, and even opened the system to take a look, and found that this was just an ordinary stranger she didn't know.

"My employer wants to meet with you. Is it convenient for you?" The man had an elegant smile and good conversation.

Lin Manman was stunned. "Can I ask who your employer is? Do I know him?"

"My employer said that if you ask him how well the fruit is raised, you will know who he is."

Lin Manman suddenly realized that it was the mysterious old man. "Then can I ask why he wants to see me?"

"My employer didn't tell me this, but he said that if you're willing to meet, maybe he could talk to you about the mysterious place where your father disappeared."

Lin Manman's pupils shrank. As for Lin's father's disappearance, her family only knew the news brought back by Qiu Xiangjing and other teammates. But when they went to inquire about it themselves, all the information about this secret realm had been officially classified as confidential by the alliance, and no one could read it without permission. Even the secret realm was blocked, not only was a barrier set up, but there was also a guard at the entrance.

"Okay... I'd like to meet them." Although she didn't completely trust these two people, she was willing to try to contact them even if there was a little hope.

"Although I am willing to meet you, I will choose the meeting place." Lin Manman looked at the other person, trying to read something from his expression. She didn't know the other person's background or his purpose. She could only try her best to be less passive.

"Okay, I'll pass it on to my employer." The man just nodded slightly, his expression didn't change at all. He raised his bracelet to send the message.

After a moment, "My employer agreed. He asked me to tell him to try to find a place where we can talk quietly. Some of the things we said may not be suitable for more people to know."

Lin Manman thought about it and agreed. After all, the secret place where her father got into trouble had been classified as confidential, and it was definitely not convenient to talk about it in public. "Then book a room in the hotel where I'm staying. I'll book the room."

As she said this, she sent a message to Qiu Xiangjing, who was also watching their game at the stadium, and broadcasting the entire game live to Lin's mother in the hospital. However, he returned to the hotel first after their game. After all, he had to take time out every day to video chat with his family.

After receiving Lin Manman's message, he didn't ask any more questions and immediately arranged a private room for her. Lin Manman also told the man the hotel address and private room number, then turned around and said a few words to her teammates before getting up and going back to the hotel.

Although Liu Ping and the others were sitting far away and didn't hear clearly what the man and Lin Manman said, Fang Yaqi heard it, and she also knew some of the situation in Lin Manman's family. While she explained to Liu Ping and the others that someone she knew was looking for Lin Manman, she prayed in her heart that Lin Manman could get some useful clues.

Lin Manman returned to the hotel room and waited for nearly an hour before there was a gentle knock on the door. She stood up and went to open the door, only to see it opened by the waiter from outside.

"Little girl, nice to meet you again. We are still destined to meet, right?" The old man walked into the box with a sly smile, followed by the man that Lin Manman met today. The man was pushing a cart covered with a black cloth.

"Who are you? Why do you want to see me?" Lin Manman had a cold face. She was not in the mood to greet him.

"Why are you angry?" The old man's expression paused, as if he felt a little aggrieved.

"Can't I be angry? You and I just met by chance. To put it bluntly, I saved you. But you not only investigated me, but also took advantage of my father... Shouldn't I be angry?"

The old man frowned and thought for a while, then sighed. "I was wrong. I shouldn't have used your father's information to guide you. But I really have no ill intentions. On the contrary, I wanted to protect you."

Lin Manman's originally indifferent expression showed a crack. Protect her? What was his relationship with her that he had to protect her? What did she need him to protect?

"Please speak frankly if you have anything to say." Seeing that he really didn't seem to have any ill intentions, Lin Manman's expression improved a little.

"I wanted to keep it a secret, but forget it." The old man shook his head and waved his hand to let the man pushing the cart go out.

The man bowed, turned around and walked out, closing the door gently.

After the man left, the old man pulled away the black cloth covering the cart. Lin Manman, who was still a little confused, widened her eyes slightly, realized that something was wrong, and hurriedly tried to control her facial expression so that it would not change too much.

"Okay, stop pretending. I know everything." The old man saw her micro-expressions and couldn't help but figure out what she was thinking. "From the moment I saw your bear, I knew you must have some special method to make your pet evolve."

"The appearance of the Black Rock Bear is very different from your spiritual pet. I have been dealing with spiritual beasts for many years, so how could I not know. You didn't want to tell me, and I didn't want to ask more. I thought of sending someone to protect you secretly, and I would come to you after I finished the recent things at hand. But I didn't expect you to run into my gun first."

Lin Manman looked at the spiritual beast on the cart that she had evolved and then asked Qiu Xiangjing to sell. She knew that their actions were probably completely known to the other party, and even if she wanted to argue, the other party would not believe her.

"You know about your father's affairs, not because I deliberately investigated them. My apprentice was the one who sent the compensation to your brother, and I heard all your information from him. I was afraid that if I showed you the photos of these spirit beasts and asked you to come and talk to me, you would be scared and run away, so I said I wanted to talk to you about the secret place where your father had the accident."

"Of course, I'm not lying to you. In the professional league, I still have the authority to do a lot of things." The old man said as he sat down and poured himself a cup of tea.

He felt wronged when he thought about it. When he wanted to take in apprentices in the past, every family or group would rush to send him apprentices, even if they were unnamed. Now he has chosen a little apprentice and he has to coax him himself.
