It was an exquisitely decorated room of a hundred square meters. The layout was not complicated, but it was extremely luxurious.
Typical ancient French wall decorations and hand-polished pure copper gilded wall lamps illuminated the entire room, making it look luxurious and bright.
The large chandelier on the ceiling was also made of pure copper, but it was decorated with gold, enamel, and other craftsmanship. There were more than a hundred candlesticks on the large oval chandelier, and the candles with pale golden dragon patterns lit a soft flame.
In the middle of the room was a long table that could accommodate twenty people. The two ends of the long table were curved, and when the arc reached the end, it suddenly straightened, then turned and extended, forming two long sides of the long table.
The long table was decorated with simple and unadorned patterns, vivid and full of a graceful texture.
If one looked closely, they would find that these patterns were not engraved or stamped.
Instead, they were made of different colored bark, polished, and pieced together in the form of pieces. The splicing was seamless, forming the magnificent and classical wood grain.
The twenty chairs on both sides of the long table were carved from a single piece of wood. The back of the chair was deliberately carved into a curved shape, very in line with ergonomics. Even if one sat for a long time, one would not easily feel tired.
The hollow pattern was that of two eagles standing opposite each other. Their eyes, as well as every feather and contour, were the same as the tabletop, pieced together with polished bark of different colors.
The table and chairs were produced by a furniture brand called Francesco Molon.
As early as the Upper Yuan Era, this brand from ancient Italy made all kinds of furniture for ancient European royalty.
At this time, most of the chairs on both sides of the table were occupied. Sitting at the head of the table was an old man in his sixties. His silver hair was neatly combed and combed back.
He wore a black suit, showing off his aristocratic temperament.
The atmosphere in the room was a little dull. No one spoke, only the sound of light breathing.
The cup on the table was seventy percent full, but it remained at the same level of overflowing.
"Knock, knock!" Someone knocked on the door.
The old man said in a low voice, "Come in."
The door opened, and a middle-aged man in a white Armani suit with gold-rimmed glasses walked in. He quickly walked to the old man's side, stood still, and placed a document on the table in front of the old man.
"Did you find out?"
The middle-aged man nodded. "Yes, Chairman Luo."
"Tell everyone about it." The old man waved his hand.
The middle-aged man stood beside the old man. His gaze swept across the faces of the people on both sides of the long table. Finally, his gaze landed on a slightly pale and dazed beautiful face. A trace of pity appeared in his eyes.
"Hello everyone, I am the supervisor of the Tianyu Auction House's intelligence department, Guo Xin. We have already completed our preliminary investigation regarding the theft of the treasure chest."
Hearing these words, Leng Lingxi, who had been in a state of absent-mindedness, suddenly raised her head. Gnashing her teeth, she said, "Who was it?
Who could it be? "
Guo Xin looked sympathetically at Leng Lingxi. She had been robbed on her first important mission. He could empathize with this beautiful girl's feelings.
"Miss Leng, please calm down."
Director Luo gestured for Leng Lingxi to stop. Leng Lingxi panted heavily a few times before returning to her seat.
Guo Xin said, "Through our field investigation, we discovered that the shuttle T-25 that Miss Leng Lingxi and her twenty-two escorts were on was not damaged in any way.
Only the internal monitoring system was malfunctioning for a period of time.
Through numerous details and some subtle traces, we have come to a preliminary conclusion. "
"The robber must have approached the shuttle through a mecha suit. Taking advantage of the shuttle's deceleration as it entered the atmosphere, he used some unknown method to simulate the space magnetic field and electric currents. Without anyone noticing, he passed through the shuttle's protective shield.
Then he attached the mecha suit to the shuttle. "
"Then the robber entered the shuttle and appeared directly in the first class cabin. His timing was perfect. Just as all the first class passengers were awakening from their deep sleep.
He used electric currents to paralyze everyone except Miss Leng.
Then he paralyzed Miss Leng, took the treasure chest from her, and calmly left. "
"In the entire process of the robber's robbery, he only fought with Miss Leng for a short while.
Other than that, he did not harm anyone on the shuttle.
The only thing we can't figure out is how he passed through the shuttle's main body, entered the shuttle's interior, and then calmly left. "
Director Luo rapped his finger on the table, interrupting Guo Xin.
"Conclusion. I want to hear the conclusion."
Guo Xin paused. Her previously calm face suddenly became serious. "Our current conclusion is that the robber's words to Miss Leng Lingxi may be true. He really is Zeus!
Zeus of the Four Divine Monarchs! "
The originally quiet room instantly became noisy. Almost everyone's face was filled with shock.
"Impossible, absolutely impossible!
That bastard, that bastard, how could he be Zeus? "
Leng Lingxi, who had not yet stabilized herself, sprang to her feet, like a cat whose tail had been stepped on. "How could Zeus do such a despicable thing? How could he rob like an interstellar pirate!
Impossible, my Zeus would never do such a thing! "
Her voice was somewhat hysterical, which attracted the attention of everyone present.
"Your Zeus?" Director Luo looked at her with some doubt.
Leng Lingxi's face reddened. "Zeus is my idol.
How could he be the one who only knows … "She trailed off, the image of that hateful chuckling face floated before her eyes.
Guo Xin spoke. "Zeus's ability is lightning. To sneak into an interstellar shuttle and commit a crime, and to subdue you in the blink of an eye, I'm afraid only someone of Zeus's level could do such a thing."
Leng Lingxi's eyes glazed over. She suddenly remembered what that guy had said before he left.
… …
"You are a girl of taste. You have good taste."
… …
Could it be … could it be that he really is?
But … but he kept saying I was an idiot!
That scoundrel!
"Silence!"
Director Luo's dignified voice silenced the meeting room once more. "The theft of the treasure chest has caused our Heavenly Auction House to suffer heavy losses. Escort Leng Lingxi, who carried out the escort mission, has been demoted to Level Two. All escort missions will be suspended. All other escorts will be fined three months of pay.
As for the identity of the robber, I will verify it.
Meeting adjourned! "
Director Luo was the first to leave, followed by Guo Xin. The others followed one after the other.
Leng Lingxi sat there, motionless.
Her left index finger drummed on the table. In her heart she said, "He is Zeus!"
Her right index finger drummed on the table. In her heart she said, "He is not Zeus!"
And so on, and so on!
