Ray Lei sat there.
He was as uneasy as if sitting on pins and needles, wishing he could leave early, terrified that his old grudge with Evan Lin would be exposed and that Gloria Rong would interrogate him.
But now, he suddenly realized that things weren't quite as he'd expected.
With the reputation of Master Lin from Seacrest and Barry Shen's analysis, Ray Lei immediately understood that the value of a Pointing-to-Mystery Realm expert far exceeded his imagination.
The backgrounds of the second-generation heirs present were nothing Ray Lei could ever compare to.
Yet because he had some connection with Master Lin from Seacrest, their attitude toward him was actually... pretty decent?
Ray Lei was a bit dazed and cautiously glanced at Evan Lin sitting nearby.
Seeing that Evan Lin had no intention of speaking, Ray figured he must be intimidated by the gathering of all these second-gens.
Otherwise, with the strength he showed when beating up Dylan Hu single-handedly, why would he just sit there?
Thinking this way, Ray Lei suddenly felt a bit more confident.
"Ray?"
Barry Shen, sitting nearby, called out to him.
I can take you over to broaden your horizons. Illustrious Gate Arena is quite famous in Beijing.
Ray Lei snapped back to attention and quickly looked at him. "What's up, Barry?"
"Don't call me Young Master Shen. What young master? Just call me Yuanbao or even Baby Yuan, that's fine!"
Barry Shen waved his hand, his gaze toward Ray Lei full of amusement.
Never mind, I'll call him and tell him to go straight to Illustrious Gate Arena.
Alright, let's head to Illustrious Gate Arena now. Brother, could you introduce us?
"Actually, there's something I wanted to ask you."
Barry Shen hesitated for a moment, then spoke up.
Everyone at the nearby table turned to look at Ray Lei, including Gloria Rong!
"Go ahead, go ahead!"
Ray Lei was extremely excited, his eyes blazing: "As long as I know it, I'll tell you everything!"
"It's like this—"
Barry Shen smiled and said, "Since you know Master Lin from Seacrest, could you help introduce us?"
"Since Master Lin hasn't decided where he'll settle yet, why don't we go meet him now and have a chat?"
"By the way, do you know where Master Lin is right now?"
Ray Lei quickly replied, "I know."
These days, Master Lin should be at Illustrious Gate Arena. He's planning to avenge his disciple—Dylan Hu. Dylan Hu was defeated recently, right? Now Master Lin is stationed at Illustrious Gate, waiting for the kid who beat his disciple to show up!
As soon as Ray Lei finished speaking, he shivered and instinctively glanced at Evan Lin.
Seeing that Evan Lin didn't say anything or try to stop him, Ray Lei felt a little relieved.
"You mean the Teenage King of the Ring?"
"I've heard that nickname, too. He only defeated Master Lin's disciple, but compared to Master Lin from Seacrest, he's nowhere near the same level."
"That could be interesting. If we get a chance to see the Teenage King of the Ring fight Master Lin, that would be something."
Someone in the group spoke up, mentioning the nickname Teenage King of the Ring, but it clearly didn't carry as much weight as Master Lin from Seacrest.
Previously, the topic of the Teenage King of the Ring taking down Dylan Hu was quite sensational, enough to draw everyone's attention to him.
But now, the titles of Master Lin from Seacrest and the Teenage King of the Ring feel worlds apart in seniority.
"Alright, let's head to Illustrious Gate Arena now. Brother, could you introduce us?"
Barry Shen thought there was no time to waste—if someone else got there first, they'd lose out.
The others seemed to agree, including Gloria Rong.
Pointing-to-Mystery Realm expert.
Rare and hard to come by.
"Uh..."
Ray Lei hesitated.
On one hand, he now basically had no way to talk to Master Lin from Seacrest.
On the other hand, he knew that Master Lin from Seacrest was now quite closely connected to the Shang family.
But seeing the eager looks from Barry Shen and the others around him, Ray Lei gritted his teeth and nodded, "Alright!"
After speaking, he paused, turned his head, and looked awkwardly at Evan Lin, who was sitting beside Gloria Rong. "Um... Evan, do you mind?"
Evan Lin hadn't responded yet.
But Barry Shen had already stood up, laughing at Ray Lei, "Hey, Ray, you're pretty funny. Are you asking what Gloria thinks?"
"It's fine, Gloria will definitely come with us, right? Gloria?"
Barry Shen didn't even bother with Evan Lin, and at this moment, Gloria Rong was also too busy to pay attention to Evan Lin sitting beside her.
Honestly, suppressing Evan Lin's momentum was nothing compared to bringing a Pointing-to-Mystery Realm expert into the Rong family.
At this moment, few people present were concerned about why Ray Lei suddenly asked Evan Lin that question.
"Yeah, I'll go take a look too."
Gloria Rong nodded, then thought for a moment: "But the person I'm waiting for hasn't arrived yet..."
"Never mind, I'll call him and tell him to go straight to Illustrious Gate Arena."
As soon as Gloria Rong said that, everyone immediately got up and headed toward the door of the private room.
Barry Shen, with his stout body, threw an arm around Ray Lei, overflowing with enthusiasm. Ray Lei felt a bit overwhelmed by the attention.
As Ray Lei passed by Evan Lin, he glanced at him. Seeing that almost no one paid Evan any mind, he then looked at the other second-generation elites who were chatting and inviting him to ride together.
The contrast was obvious.
Ray Lei felt a bit inflated.
His fear of Evan Lin in his heart suddenly lessened a lot.
What excited Ray Lei most was that if Evan Lin followed along, he'd have a chance to talk to Master Lin from Seacrest.
Master Lin from Seacrest was looking for the Teenage King of the Ring—the one who defeated his disciple. Others didn't know it was Evan Lin, but Ray Lei did!
If he sold Evan Lin out like this...
Master Lin from Seacrest would surely be willing to meet him!
That way, he could satisfy Barry Shen, and also settle his old grudge with Evan Lin!
Talk about killing three birds with one stone!
The more Ray Lei thought about it, the more excited he became.
Once almost everyone had left the room, Gloria Rong glanced at Evan Lin, who was sitting beside her finishing his last sip of tea, and frowned, "Are you coming with us?"
"You're just going to join the fun. It's best not to cause any unnecessary trouble."
"I can take you over to broaden your horizons. Illustrious Gate Arena is quite famous in Beijing."
"Although the place is a bit out of the way, there's plenty to see and do."
As Gloria Rong spoke, her tone was somewhat perfunctory.
