Chapter 645: Chapter 645

Qima exchanged a few words with Xili before leaving the club, as it wasn't really a place where they should linger too long.

At this moment, Chad, deflated like a punctured ball, also skulked away with his people.

Wei Ling's look towards Lin Chen was now one of utter astonishment.

"Sis Ling, why are you looking at me with such eyes?" Lin Chen said with a laugh.

"Lin Chen, I've realized that partnering with you was the best decision I've ever made," Wei Ling said with some excitement.

Lin Chen laughed, "Haha, you just realized? There are many more good qualities about me that you'll have to discover slowly."

"Hmph, you think I'm that easy to chase? When your assets reach a hundred million, then you'll be qualified to sleep with me," Wei Ling said with a smile.

"A hundred million!" Lin Chen inwardly clicked his tongue; it wasn't that he couldn't earn that much, but Lin Chen didn't know how much longer he would be staying in Manchester.

The two of them were chatting when suddenly a seductively shaped girl approached.

Once the girl got close, she caught Lin Chen's gaze and held it.

The girl, whether in stature or appearance, could be deemed top-notch, even her alluring bosom was a size larger than the average person's.

Wei Ling naturally figured out Lin Chen's thoughts: "Thinking of picking up girls again? Well, I won't be your third wheel."

The girl sashayed up to Lin Chen and said with a smile, "Mr. Lin, may I have a word with you in private?"

Upon hearing her, Lin Chen couldn't help but be overjoyed. Having a word in private was a clear sign that this beauty was into him, it seemed like she was ready to make a move on him!

"No problem, there's a guest room in the back. Shall we talk there?" Lin Chen suggested with a smile.

"Okay, I'd like to find a place with no one around too," the girl replied with a laugh.

Lin Chen led the girl to the guest room and opened the door, entering first.

As soon as the girl stepped in, she immediately locked the door behind her.

The girl blushed in bewilderment: "Are you ready for something? Didn't I say I wanted to talk with you?"

"Yes, but standing and talking is tiring. Wouldn't it be more comfortable if we lay on the bed and then chatted?" Lin Chen said with a beaming smile.

"Shameless! I'm your aunt, you bastard," the girl cursed directly.

"What? Aunt?" Lin Chen was immediately dumbfounded; what did she mean by 'aunt'?

The girl snorted coldly, "My name is Ekaris, and I'm the young lady of the Emon family."

"What, you're not kidding me, right? Wasn't the Emon family wiped out by someone?" Lin Chen asked with disbelief.

Ekaris snorted, "At that time, I happened to be traveling with my backpacking group. One of the servant's bodies was burned beyond recognition, and they mistook her for me. That's how I survived."

"So that's what happened! But how did you find me?" Lin Chen asked, puzzled.

"Before my grandfather died, he had mentioned you, saying you were about to return to the country to marry the heiress of the Sophina family. So I've been keeping an eye on your news until I saw the recent reports and found you," Ekaris explained.

While looking at Ekaris, Lin Chen had already had the Human Aura system check her information, and indeed, her appearance and all features matched the person herself.

"Aunt, what do you want by finding me?" Lin Chen asked with a smile.

"I want you to avenge the Emon family," Ekaris said, her eyes filled with fury.

Lin Chen smiled, "Aunt, you've got to be joking. First, whoever could destroy the Emon family is not to be underestimated, and second, how could I possibly seek revenge by myself? Even if I could, do you know who the enemy is?"

"Of course I know. Do you know why our Emon family was destroyed?" Ekaris spoke solemnly.

Lin Chen looked at her, puzzled, and shook his head.

"It was because of a fragment of a map. Our Emon family had very good relations with the ancestors of the Sophina family. Once, they accidentally obtained a piece of a map in China and bought it jointly, then divided it into two parts—our Emon family had one part, and the Sophina family kept the other," she explained.

"A fragment of a map?" Lin Chen was startled for a moment.

Ekaris nodded and continued, "The two ancestors had agreed that when their descendants grew up, they would marry and then reassemble the two pieces of the map. But just before you returned, disaster struck the Emon family."

"You mean the Sophina family wiped out the Emon family for that map fragment? If the two families united, wouldn't they naturally obtain the map? Why would they go to such lengths!" Lin Chen asked, confused.

"The Sophina family wanted to silence us; they didn't want others to know they had a fragment. However, they never dreamed that the fragment wasn't with the Emons at all, but was hidden by my grandfather in an unexpected place," Ekaris said with a sneer.

"Where is it?" Lin Chen inquired, puzzled.

"As long as you find a way to get close to the Sophina family, gain Sophina's trust, and bring down the Sophina family, then I'll hand over the map fragment to you," Ekaris replied coldly.

"Sorry, I'm not interested in any treasure, and bringing down the Sophina family is easier said than done. I might be killed by them first, so let's forget about it. I prefer to live a peaceful life," Lin Chen responded indifferently.

Ekaris stared at Lin Chen and said, "If you have the complete map, you will have a chance to gain a mysterious power, an ability to control the water element."

"What did you say?" Lin Chen's heart stirred upon hearing this.

"Yes, it's that kind of miraculous power. I've heard my grandfather mention it," Ekaris said gravely.

Lin Chen snorted deliberately, "You talk as if it's true, but who knows if you're lying to me or not."

Ekaris took out her phone, flipped through it to find a picture, and handed it to Lin Chen.

Seeing the photo, Lin Chen's expression subtly changed; the image showed the five elements diagram of water.

Suppressing the ecstasy in his heart, Lin Chen spoke calmly, "Alright, let's say what you're saying is true. I can give it a try, but I can't guarantee success."

Ekaris nodded, "The Sophina family already knows your identity. There happens to be a banquet tomorrow night on the Princess cruise ship, and here's the ticket. I hope you can attend and handle Sophina."

Lin Chen nodded, "That shouldn't be a problem, but I need to know who this Sophina is. If she's an ugly woman, I'm not interested."

Ekaris snorted, "Don't worry, I'm sure she won't disappoint you; she's considered the Ice Queen of Manchester's male population."

"Ice Queen? I like that. It's a deal," Lin Chen said, excited.
