Sophie looked helplessly at Qinchuan's shocked expression. When she first heard about this, her reaction was even more exaggerated than Qinchuan's.
"Don't look at me like that. I'm telling the truth. I'm not lying to you."
Sophie sighed and said to Qinchuan, "Grand Duke Black Chess has always had a deep obsession with Grand Duke Angel. This time, you and Wang Qi are in the same group. Something unexpected will definitely happen, so Grand Duke Angel wants to see you in advance to tell you something so that you can be mentally prepared."
Qinchuan took a deep breath and asked Sophie, "Is it allowed to kill during the competition?"
Hearing Qinchuan's question, Sophie was slightly taken aback and asked, "What do you want to do?"
Qinchuan shook his head and responded, "It's not what I want to do, but I want to know what they can do."
After hearing Qinchuan's explanation, Sophie understood what Qinchuan meant. She said to Qinchuan, "Every contestant who enters the top 100 is a genius of the Seine Galaxy and a mainstay in the future. Therefore, there will be referees present during the competition. If there is danger, the referees will stop the competition. However, in this way, the party in danger will be eliminated."
Qinchuan nodded gently and said to Sophie, "In that case, I know what to do."
As the two spoke, they arrived at the door of Grand Duke Angel's room. Sophie said to Qinchuan, "The Grand Duke has instructed that only you are allowed to enter. You can just push the door and go in."
Qinchuan glanced at the door, stepped forward, and was about to knock when the door suddenly opened. Zhou Xin walked out and made way for Qinchuan. Qinchuan saw this and nodded gently at Zhou Xin, then stepped in.
When Qinchuan walked into the room and came to the living room, Angel was sitting on the sofa reading a book. It was worth mentioning that Angel was reading a paper book. This kind of book was definitely an antique in this era. It would not be a problem to sell a book for hundreds of thousands.
"Sit down."
Angel did not raise her head. She pointed casually and motioned for Qinchuan to sit down.
Qinchuan walked to the sofa and sat down. He poured himself a cup of tea and then asked Angel, "Grand Duke, I wonder why you called me here?"
"I asked Sophie to tell you some things on the way here."
Angel raised her eyes and glanced at Qinchuan. "This time, you have to win against the Grand Duke of Black Chess's junior, Wang Qi. You have to win, and you have to win cleanly."
When Qin Chuan heard this, he chuckled and said to Angel, "Even if the Grand Duke didn't say anything, I would have done the same. My goal is to be in the top three. No matter what, I will defeat Wang Qi."
Angel shook her head and said to Qinchuan, "You're wrong. You don't know the Grand Duke of Black Chess, nor do you know Wang Qi. Do you think that you can definitely win against Wang Qi just because you're a grade-5 Talisman Array Master?
Oh, I almost forgot to congratulate you. Now that you're a grade-5 Talisman Array Master, you're on equal footing with me. You don't have to be so restrained when you see me in the future. "
Qinchuan smiled. His attitude toward Angel did not change. He first thanked Angel, then asked curiously, "Grand Duke, do you mean that I might lose to Wang Qi?"
"Wang Qi is nothing to worry about. What I'm really worried about is the Grand Duke of Black Chess."
Angel pursed her lips. "He's a person who will do anything to achieve his goals. This time, you're up against Wang Qi. In order to attack me, he will definitely spare no effort to help Wang Qi win this match."
Qinchuan was puzzled when he heard that. He asked, "How is he going to help Wang Qi?"
The match was one-on-one. The Grand Duke of Black Chess couldn't possibly replace Wang Qi, right?
"I don't know exactly how the Grand Duke of Black Chess will operate, but you can rest assured that what I said will definitely happen. So, you have to be careful."
Angel looked at Qinchuan and said in a rather serious tone, "If you die, I won't take care of Lü Zi and the others for you for the rest of your life."
Hearing Angel mention Lü Zi, Qinchuan's expression suddenly became subtle. He took a deep look at Angel and replied, "I understand. I'll be careful."
…
Anders Group, top floor.
The Grand Duke of Black Chess, who was dressed in a black robe, sat on a chair. His face was expressionless and his eyes were indifferent. Behind him stood a tall young man. The young man's face was filled with cold arrogance and his aura was extremely powerful. He was the Grand Duke of Black Chess' most favored junior, Wang Qi.
"Grand Duke, how long do we have to wait?"
Wang Qi glanced at the time. "We've been waiting here for 20 minutes. The president of the Anders Group is really awe-inspiring. Even Odyssey the Great wouldn't dare to make you wait for so long!"
Hearing Wang Qi's words, the Grand Duke of Black Chess said indifferently, "Quiet."
Wang Qi didn't dare to say anything else, but the expression on his face gradually became a little impatient. He was already in a bad mood because he was going to meet Qin Chuan in the first round of the competition. Now, he had to wait here for the annoying president of the Anders Group. His mood was exploding with irritation!
"Buzz."
The door of the room slowly opened. A tall figure shrouded in a black robe slowly walked into the office and sat down in front of the Grand Duke of Black Chess. He chuckled and said to the Grand Duke of Black Chess, "I'm really sorry for making you wait."
Wang Qi looked at the black-robed man sitting in front of him and frowned. "You're the president of the Anders Group?
Why are you hiding your true face? "
The black-robed man smiled and said to Wang Qi, "Because I'm too ugly. I'll scare people."
Wang Qi wanted to say something, but the Grand Duke of Black Chess raised his hand to signal him to be quiet. Wang Qi could only shut up.
The Grand Duke of Black Chess looked at the black-robed man and asked, "Have you brought the thing I want?"
The black-robed man looked at the Grand Duke of Black Chess and asked with a smile, "We're partners. Of course, I'll bring you the thing you want."
As he spoke, the black-robed man took out a small transparent bottle from his storage ring. The bottle contained a drop of dark purple liquid. He placed the bottle in front of the Grand Duke of Black Chess and said, "This is what you want, the source of spirit."
"The source of spirit?!"
Wang Qi couldn't help but exclaim. His face was filled with shock. Spirit Source was a rare treasure that could increase a person's spirit power in a short period of time. It had always appeared in high-class auctions. Every time it appeared, it would cause a commotion and be sold for a sky-high price!
He didn't expect the Grand Duke of Black Chess to ask for the source of spirit from this mysterious president. Moreover, the other party actually took it out!
"Yes, the source of spirit."
The black-robed man smiled. "With this, your mental strength can increase dramatically in a short period of time. Although it can only last for a short period of time, it's enough for you to defeat all your opponents."
