Besides the moving codes on the screen, no one moved.

The technical department head took a while before he dashed out of the room.

The director was outside the technical department. The technical department head almost bumped into the director when he rushed out.

“Direc... director.” The technical department head stuttered, “I—I know who is behind this.”

The director replied, “who?”

The technical department head swallowed. “The Elder.”

The director glared at him sharply.

The technical department head felt weak in his legs. He grabbed the wall beside him and stabilized himself.

Who was The Elder?

The Elder was not human.

It was the first edition of the Time Control Department’s system. No one knew who gave it this name. In the beginning, everything was fine. People kept trying to improve the system.

Yet, one day, someone realized that the system started to have thoughts of its own.

This realization was confirmed soon after.

It was normal for an A.I. to have its own thoughts. Most of their questions could be tracked.

However, the Elder was different. It would use its own codes and change data all by itself.

The changes made the system better, but they alarmed everyone.

The Elder was destroyed.

The director was still quite calm. “Isn’t it already destroyed?”

The technical department head nodded. “That’s what the records say. However...”

The technical department head felt chills down his spine. “I examined some data from the Elder. It has its own style when writing codes. Just now... I’m sure that I saw the right thing. It was the Elder’s style.”

The director frowned. “If it’s really the Elder, what does it want?”

The technical department head shook his head.

No one knew what it wanted.

...

The director gathered everyone for a meeting. Qi Yu was called too. Ming Shu wanted to take him away from this place, but she became interested in this matter and decided to stay.

Hence, Qi Yu brought Ming Shu to the meeting room.

Not many people were at the meeting. Besides the heads of the various departments, there were just a few important members of the Time Control Department.

Luo Yan was present.

He placed his feet on the table and sat casually.

The seats beside him were empty. No one wanted to sit with him.

When Qi Yu walked in, the others got more anxious. They quickly moved to the side.

Ming Shu walked in with Qi Yu. It was strange to see a lady in ancient clothes appearing in such a high-tech environment.

Everyone saw the bad-tempered Lord Nine pulling the chair out thoughtfully for the lady.

Luo Yan narrowed his eyes. “You really brought her back.”

Now...

Was she a spirit?

Qi Yu glanced at Luo Yan. His mouth corners twitched. He hadn’t taken his revenge yet.

Luo Yan jumped up instantly. The next moment, the table that Qi Yu threw at him broke the chair that Luo Yan was in.

“Lord Nine and Luo Yan are fighting again?” A cute young man peeked into the meeting room. “Fighting the moment they see each other. How much do they hate each other?”

“Bai Zhu, why are you blocking the door?”

Bai Zhu turned around and gave a cute smile. “Xing Hun, Lord Nine, and Luo Yan are fighting again.”

The man behind him walked in indifferently. His voice was gentle. “This is not the first time. That’s no surprise.”

Xing Hun was a handsome young man too. His aura was gentle like a young master of an elite family.

He wore sports clothing and had his hands in his pockets. He straightened up the table that was on the floor and sat down.

He never showed any signs of unhappiness or curiosity all this time.

Bai Zhu walked in. He looked at Ming Shu with a puzzled expression. “I’ve never seen you before. Are you new?”

Boom!

A chair flew towards Bai Zhu. Bai Zhu got a fright. He immediately squatted down.

The chair slammed into a table beside Bai Zhu and then fell onto the ground.

Bai Zhu patted his chest. “That was so scary.”

Ming Shu looked down. Bai Zhu met Ming Shu’s gaze and started smiling cutely again. “Isn’t Lord Nine scary? Stay away from him.”

Ming Shu nodded thoughtfully. “He is quite scary.”

“Yes, yes.” Bai Zhu looked as though he’d found a friend. “Every meeting is like a martial arts assembly.”

Qi Yu and Luo Yan came near the meeting table again. Xing Hun suddenly reached out and threw a table at them.

Qi Yu and Luo Yan held onto the table together.

Xing Hun politely asked, “Why are you two still fighting at such a time?”

Almost simultaneously, the director walked in with the technical department head. He calmly maneuver his way around the obstacles on the floor.

Qi Yu retreated. He turned around and made to walk back to Ming Shu. Luo Yan glanced at Qi Yu. When he noticed that he was walking away, he walked to the side too.

In that instant, Luo Yan felt a sense of danger.

It was too late. Luo Yan tripped and smashed onto the floor.

The culprit retracted his foot and scoffed at him before returning to his seat.

Everyone: “...”

How did Luo Yan provoke Lord Nine this time?

Luo Yan clenched his fists. Qi Yu! This is not the end!

Bai Zhu saw Qi Yu walking toward him and jumped to the side. He sat beside Xing Hun. He was confused.

After the fight ended, the director said, “Let’s start the meeting!”

The people in the room cleared the mess up. The atmosphere in the meeting room became solemn.

Yet, many people were still looking at Ming Shu.

Who is she?

What is her relationship with Lord Nine?

Why is she here?

No one answered their queries. The director and Qi Yu didn’t have any intention of introducing Ming Shu.

The director didn’t chase her away either.

Bai Zhu pulled Xing Hun’s sleeve. “Who is that lady?”

“I don’t know.”

“She’s beautiful,” Bai Zhu muttered softly.

Xing Hun glanced at him. “Your type?”

Bai Zhu nodded cutely. “Yes. Don’t you think she’s beautiful?”

Xing Hun’s tone was as gentle as always. “She was probably brought here by Lord Nine. Don’t create trouble for yourself. Do you want to become the next Luo Yan?”

Qi Yu’s attitude was obvious. Anyone would know what their relationship was.

Bai Zhu: “...”

Bai Zhu looked at Qi Yu, who was sitting lazily in his chair and glaring at Luo Yan.

Horrible.

Scary.

The director told everyone about the Elder. Some people knew about the first-edition system while some didn’t.

Discussions arose. Even Bai Zhu got serious.

“What do you all think?” The director waited for a while before asking.

“Why does the first edition want to hack into our system?”

“We destroyed it at that time because we couldn’t control it anymore.”

“Director, if it’s really the Elder, is it trying to take revenge?”
