What was her motive? What was she trying to do? Could it be that she was seeking to get close to him in order to plot something, or even to outright kill him? No, that was too far-fetched, this was only a game after all.
It has to be said, Feng Yi's mind was jumping to all kinds of gossip when he thought about this. An image of being garroted inexplicably appeared in his head, however, this had to be an overreaction—he believed Athena was not that ruthless.
On another thought, becoming friends wouldn't be too bad. If he acted friendly towards Athena, who Fat Tiger, a friend of his, resented for her autograph, it would be reasonable for him to ask for her autograph then. Thus, Feng Yi nodded and asked, "Doe, is it possible for you to give me a few autographs?"
Athena was caught off guard by this request but quickly laughed it off saying, "Sure, can I make a small request too?"
"Go ahead."
"Well, we could exchange contact details."
Exchanging contact details was not an issue at all for Feng Yi. He readily gave her his Heavenly Communication Number without a second thought. His device was usually off, and the Heavenly Communication Network had a confidentiality system, so it was nearly impossible for someone to contact him through civilian means.
"Also... Can I call you by your first name?" Athena asked, blushing.
"Ah? Is there another request?"
"No, not at all. One is enough." Athena quickly waved her hands, afraid that he might be put off after she uttered a series of "No"s.
"Well, do as you please."
Athena covered her mouth, surprised to see that Feng Yi was not as cold as he seemed. He was straightforward and somehow cute, a clumsy character with a sense of humor.
"Wait a minute. I'll be back."
Feng Yi disappeared after leaving the message. When he returned shortly after, he carried many virtual items, including decorations, shirts, notebooks, souvenirs—it was a large assortment of more than a hundred items.
Athena and her four girlfriends realized what was happening. Was he trying to get all these items autographed by her? He must have lots of friends!
Everyone knew that Athena rarely gave autographs—it wasn't that she didn't want to, it was just that she didn't have the opportunity. She only signed for a select few, and her autographs were considered valuable collectibles in the market. Yet, here was this guy, taking as many items as he could, while lamenting that he wished he could have brought more.
The hitch was that Feng Yi had not brought enough money for this purpose. He was a simple man who did not wish to input exchange currency specifically for this. Thus, the situation unfolded this way.
However, an open autograph session could potentially expose Athena's identity. In the end, guided by Feng Yi, they turned a few corners and found a secluded alley, to signing off on the autographs in peace.
Faced with the current situation, the four silent sisters could not help but roll their eyes. It was absolutely inconsiderate of him, bringing them here—it seemed he simply did not think of Athena's celebrity status, nor her as a woman.
But Athena didn't mind at all. Perhaps she would care under normal circumstances, as she preferred cleanliness; but this was an exception and she well knew of Feng Yi's uniqueness.
Athena neatly signed her full name for Feng Yi. It was free of ostentation or celebrity pretentiousness. At the end, she added a heart-shaped symbol and placed a small kiss next to it. She handed this signed item, one of its kind, to Feng Yi and similarly asked for his autograph.
When they exchanged the autographed items, their fingers touched. Feng Yi felt the soft yet resilient touch of Athena's delicate fingers, which were very much like her graceful yet robust handwriting.
However, before he puts pen to paper, even Sir Feng can't help but feel a little embarrassed. Finally, he handed a virtual notebook with a crooked font to Athena, which was Feng Yi's elementary school handwriting. A comparison made the difference quite apparent.
Athena was delighted and didn't mind the font issue at all. Then, with a grand gesture, she started to sign her abstract signature. Before leaving, Feng Yi timidly claimed that these signatures were for friends. Regardless if anyone believes him or not, a white lie isn't illegal after all.
Athena had to perform a song before the opening of the post-war point match. She bid a reluctant farewell to Feng Yi, and afterward, they exchanged their gaming ID information.
What puzzled the four sisters was: why did Athena ask for his signature too? That crooked font is just too unbearable to look at.
On the way back, Summer Mood jokingly remarked that the clown she had just seen was someone she had encountered during the National Competitive Fight. This guy was a serving soldier in the federation, but what was laughable was that he was eliminated in the first round, which was quite absurd.
How could a federation-endorsed master lose to a big Lolita? The rest of them became very interested in Feng Yi, taking advantage of the remaining time to review the recording.
They didn't know it till they watched the recording. It almost made them burst into laughter. Even the Wonderful Sound Girl, who usually holds a straight face, managed to finish the video while suppressing her laughter. This guy was such a clown! Why did he insist on standing up multiple times instead of simply lying down? The part where he tried to stare down his opponent was comedy gold.
Athena, on the other hand, was sitting quietly on the soft sofa, showing no sign of mockery. This puzzled them, wasn't that guy funny? And why was Nana so polite to this man? Although Athena was always like this with everyone, it was quite unusual for her to act this way.
Athena responded with a single sentence, which stunned the four sisters as it was about Feng Yi's identity. Feng Yi was indeed the man in black who had saved them all.
Good heavens! Was the persevering handsome guy who kept falling and standing up actually the terrifying man in black? They were afraid they had misheard and asked her several times.
No matter how many times they asked, Athena's answer was always the same. Everyone knew that Athena had the mental ability to sense others, so there was no chance of a mistake. You can mimic someone's behavior and appearance but not their aura. Who would associate such a humorous guy with a ruthless character?
This kind of warrior was actually defeated by a little girl in black named Margaret. What a joke! Athena didn't believe it, nor did the four sisters, even a child wouldn't believe it. A top warrior's willpower and physique were incredibly strong, it wasn't like a mental wave or even a bullet could break their defence.
The sisters, who were pushed into political arenas, understood this concept very well. Their bodyguard was a Mental Ability User, who was even stronger than the black Lolita.
Of course, it could also be explained that in a one-on-one situation, it would not be enough even if a 12-star general was sent.
Everyone then wondered, saying Feng Yi was pretending to be weak wasn't quite right, he clearly lost. He was actually sandbagging! His image suddenly got an upgrade.
His mystery, his uniqueness, his humor, and his peculiar behavior suddenly stirred great curiosity among them. They wanted to find out who he really was.
Although Athena objected repeatedly, it was to no avail. They had some access to the Sky Network due to their celebrity status, which was roughly equivalent to the political status of regular military officers.
However, they weren't able to find any information regarding his identity, besides what was made public there was no other clue.
In fact, they wouldn't be able to find Feng Yi's information. As a designated federal hero candidate, not even a general could access that level of classified information.
The weight of such a rank soldier was much higher than the pop stars on stage, no wonder Nana asked for his autograph. The four sisters, like curious birds, began discussing about Feng Yi.
Athena kicked off her princess shoes and flopped onto the center of the big bed with a smile on her face...
What an extraordinary day it had been, she had unexpectedly encountered him again. There were times when Athena thought about shedding her cloak to pursue what she loved, to sing the songs she loved. Now, she was truly getting a bit tired. The stirrings of emotion were taking root and growing within her heart.
