At night, the two of them left the Bounty Tribe, heading towards an underground level of the Gallia club where dancing girls were aplenty. This place lacked the elegance and magnificence of the upper levels, but instead, there were more of the unfettered smiles of men.
Francis was now a public figure, reluctant to make public appearances easily. However, meeting with a brother was a different matter. Yet Feng Yi's background was no ordinary one, so they chose a secluded spot for a drink.
"Waiter, a pile of peanuts, a kilogram of beef, and a plate of plain cucumber salad," Francis snapped his fingers and added, "By the way, we're not just here to eat and drink. What are your future plans?"
"Oh, how do you know that I didn't come just to have drinks with you?"
"God." Francis showed a knowing look, "I can tell even when you lift your...cough, let's not talk about this while eating. I see that Sheng Qiangwei is utterly infatuated with you. Why not live a peaceful life and stop being a Shadow Rider?"
Feng Yi almost spat out his drink. For some reason, when addressed by Francis, it became 'Shadow Rider', rather than 'Revenge Shadow Rider'. He then briefly outlined his plans to head to Mardis.
However, today, Francis got it wrong. Feng Yi really did come just to visit a brother, to drink some wine together.
In any case, the time of their reunion was dwindling, their lives in flux. They needed to enjoy their cheerful moments and drink to their contentment.
Perhaps he was just reminiscing. In his memory, the important people in Feng Yi's life were leaving him one by one. Now, Francis was his only tie, and he cherished even more their scarce moments together. After all, both of them were no longer young, and both had their own pursuits. Although they had taken different paths, their friendship remained forever.
The next day, a rare visitor entered the Combat Power Tester company located not far from the Reward Guild. When Feng Yi entered, he saw many advanced instruments and various types of equipment, such as implanted armor, simulated wings, and new combat suits – products not yet available on the market. He did not know where the Blade Warrior got them from, yet she unquestionably had a stronger desire to explore science than anyone else.
"Well, well, you're doing well aren't you?" The Blade Warrior, clad in a white robe, sashayed towards him. Looking around, it was easy to see many male researchers were subtly stealing glances at her. No doubt, the Blade Warrior was dazzling, and she must have dressed intentionally to draw attention.
Feng Yi walked around aimlessly, scrutinizing all around him with interest, "Did you make all these?"
"Yes, any problem?"
"No problem, but... don't you have something handy for me to use?"
"What are you going to do?"
"Go to the battlefield to fight for justice, in other words, to be a lone...no, a Shadow Rider."
The Blade Warrior tried to hide a smirk, "Come with me." She led Feng Yi into a large equipment storage room, "What type of equipment do you want?"
What equipment? Anything that can be used in a war. The type of equipment was not essential, its function was. For the war on the front line of Mardis, Feng Yi hoped to get a device that could effectively shield against external scanning. Moreover, he was a bit interested in the implanted mecha and wanted to research it.
"The implanted mecha can be arranged, but as for the shielding device..." the Blade Warrior thought for a moment, turned and dug around in a dusty corner for half a day before finally pulling out an iron block weighing more than 100 pounds. She threw it towards Feng Yi, "Take it, it's useless to me now, but it can be very useful to you."
"Thanks." Feng Yi looked familiar with this iron block. After a closer look, he recognized it. Isn't it the same thing the Blade Warrior had thrown away on the Death Planet a few years ago? It turned out that it could isolate scanners.
Feng Yi was clear that if he frequently appeared in Mardis as the Revenge Shadow Rider, it would definitely alert the Saudis and Bergheide. Therefore, he really needed such a thing.
Just as he was about to leave, he was stopped by the Blade Warrior grabbing his hand, "Aren't you planning to leave anything behind?"
