God Invasion: It's awesome to save the world with five problematic girls!-Chapter 496 - 141. Old woman, I’ve won too much from you!

"Ding Dong~"

"Floor five, we have arrived."

The heavy background of black marble tiles, and a classical F major sonatina pours into the heart like water.

On the walls of the restaurant named "White Feather," scattered light spread from the top like a fan.

Below, inside a glass enclosure, Yan Huan’s priceless collection was placed like an unreal reflection of the moon in water.

Tong Yingying and Yan Huan were led into the restaurant by a server, arriving at a spot near the window.

Beyond the floor-to-ceiling windows, at the very edge of the view, Yan Huan could see the Golden Lion Building piercing the clouds, surrounded by diminutive structures.

This was a rare and exceptional spot.

Especially since it faced the west, it was extraordinarily beautiful against the evening sunset.

The setting was worlds apart from Tong Yingying’s everyday sprawl in a cluttered room in the South District, which made Yan Huan turn his head to observe her, dressed beautifully today.

Her features were familiar, yet the touch of red on her lips.

It drew out an unfamiliar air that differed from other days.

"Damn, my phone’s out of battery..."

Looking away, Yan Huan subconsciously picked up his phone, but was greeted only by the "empty battery" sign on the screen.

Truth be told, the cellphone is like the "second life" of modern people. Anyone who could remain calm while their phone dies is truly god-like.

If you had a hypnosis app on your phone like Ye Shiyu, that kind of panic would reach a whole new level.

"Sister Tong, although it may sound a bit unsophisticated, I still want to ask: do they have shared power banks or a charger here?"

Glancing around at the surroundings, Yan Huan asked.

Sitting opposite, Tong Yingying received a hot towel handed over by a nearby server and cast a sidelong glance at the server.

The server brought a hot towel for Yan Huan, smiling as he said,

"We don’t have power banks, I’m afraid. But I can look for a charger for you, sir, please wait a moment."

"Thank you, that would be great."

As the server turned and left, Tong Yingying watched Yan Huan wiping his hands with a look of a headache, and couldn’t help asking,

"What, got an urgent plane to reply to some girl on your phone?"

"Don’t even mention it, Sister Tong, it’s true."

"..."

Hearing this, Tong Yingying, who was wiping her hands with the towel, slowed her movements.

Her tired eyes gradually brightened, like a wolf scenting blood, yet her words remained almost bland,

"...That Vice President, the voyeur named Sakuragi Hitomi?"

"Eh?"

Yan Huan raised his eyes to Tong Yingying, only to notice that her hand-wiping motion was very practiced.

It was a bit like a ritual common to executioners or surgeons before an operation.

Tong Yingying, seeing Yan Huan’s gaze return to her, as if asking "how do you know," couldn’t help but explain,

"That day you said someone installed a camera to spy on you, right? I had someone investigate for you, hoping to... deal with it for you, and incidentally learned a bit about that young lady."

Yan Huan sweat from his forehead watching Tong Yingying lightly talking about "dealing with someone",

"It’s not that, Sister Tong. Can’t we avoid using scary words like ’deal with’ in our everyday conversations?"

Another server came up to set the tableware, Tong Yingying propped her chin and pouted, taking the opportunity to complain, novelbuddy-cσ๓

"Scary? I’m helping you out here. You refused to report it to the police...

"Though speaking of it, with her background, reporting would probably be useless anyway. It could escalate into a diplomatic incident and cause even more trouble."

Yan Huan smiled helplessly without responding; he had already grown accustomed to such matters.

Dealing with a modifier requires consideration of both the modifier’s effects and many real-world factors.

Real-world factors can be both good and bad.

Just as one can use Emperor Ye and Ye Lan to suppress Ye Shiyu, on the flip side, you must also consider the power of the Sakuragi Family and the Golden Lion Group.

The more troubling aspect for Yan Huan was the stronger the owners of powerful modifiers, the better their backgrounds seemed to be.

Several modifiers, on a numerical and mechanical level, were comparable to Three Body People, but why did their real-life power also have to be at the level of Three Body People?

It’s like whales completely dominating average players in all aspects.

In comparison, a mega-celebrity like Bai Yi seemed insignificant.

Oh, no, her modifier can now stop time!

She’s already heading towards Alpha Centauri...

Whether it’s the value of the modifier or its quality, both are exceptional.

Only An Le seems to be almost non-existent.

Impossibly off the radar...

But you can’t entirely blame Yan Huan for An Le being untraceable; there’s a cruel truth:

The squeaky wheel gets the grease.

Often, the one who is the most trouble-free and silent gets the least.

Now, with several powerful modifier hosts going back and forth, it makes a normal host like An Le seem out of place.

Yan Huan could only invest his limited energy into contending with the most dangerous hosts first.

As he was talking, Tong Yingying seemed to confirm something and asked Yan Huan,

"Because of her background, you can’t do anything but continue to put up a pretense with her, right?"

Lost in thought, the sound of Tong Yingying’s voice brought Yan Huan back to the present.

Yan Huan blinked and for a moment didn’t know how to respond.

Perhaps part of the reason was due to Sakuragi’s identity, not her status as the Sakuragi Family’s young miss, but as a modifier host.

And perhaps another part was like an extinguished flame of goodwill, with a residual warmth lingering on the embers.
