CH 39

Early in the morning, Zhuo long got up. He would have liked to sleep longer, but unfortunately, everyone in the dormitory was making noise. Today was the day when various companies would come to pick them up, and everyone was very excited, including Zhuo long. He could finally leave this place.

At nine in the morning, almost the entire orphanage gathered in the hall. The 220 children waiting to be taken away only occupied a small part of the hall; the majority were children who hadn’t reached the age to leave. They were not allowed to attend yesterday’s announcement meeting, nor could they watch the event as they used to in previous years. However, after yesterday’s announcement that they were no longer restricted in their activities, they all came out to join the excitement.

Younger children in the hall were running and jumping around, while slightly older ones gathered around their familiar older brothers and sisters, listening to them share their experiences. Naturally, the person surrounded by the most was An ke, who had successfully entered the Time-Space Group.

“An ke, you’re so amazing! I heard that the Time-Space Group recruits very few people each year because hardly anyone who gets in is willing to quit. This year, they only recruited you from over 200 people. You’re truly incredible!!”

“Yeah, An ke, can you tell us how we can become as outstanding as you?”

“An ke, please tell us, too! We also want to become as excellent as you!”

Surrounded by the children, An ke tied her hair to the side and smiled faintly, “Actually, all you need to do is to listen carefully in class and complete all the tasks assigned by the teachers.”

One child couldn’t help asking, “Is it really enough for us to become as outstanding as you by just doing that, An ke?”

An ke smiled gently, “I can’t guarantee that.”

“Oh, I understand,” a child sighed, “An ke, you’re a genius. Becoming as outstanding as you is entirely due to your talent. We’ll never be able to be as excellent as you just by relying on the school’s teachers!”

Anke’s eyes glinted with amusement as the children around her began to shower her with praise—

“Wow, Sister An ke, you’re so beautiful, and you’re so talented! Are you blessed by the heavens?”

“An ke, you’re my goddess!”

—coming from a four-year-old with a petite figure!

“An ke, I really like you. Will you come back to see us after you leave?”

The smile on An ke’s face faded slightly as she looked at the child who asked the question. She deliberately emphasized her smile and said, “Of course, I will. You’re all so adorable, and when I have the time, I’ll definitely come back to see you.”

The surrounding children immediately cheered—

“Wow, Sister An ke will come back to see us! I can’t wait!”

“I really want time to fly so that it’s the day when Sister An ke comes back to see us!!”

…

In another corner, Zhuo long was sitting alone, and the area around him was empty. Not to mention his identity as a target of the director, just the scars on his face would scare away most of the children. However, he didn’t mind this result and enjoyed the peace.

At 10 o’clock, under the order of the director, everyone, big and small, took their seats. The first row was occupied by the 220 children who were about to leave the orphanage.

Sitting in his place, Zhuo long heard the discussions from nearby—

“Are all the cameras ready? Record the video as soon as the God Race appears!”

“They’ve been ready for a long time! I even bought an additional lens. This might be the only chance in my life to see the God Race!”

“Me too! I’m so excited! Finally, we get to see the God Race!”

Zhuo long: “…”

Exactly at 10 o’clock, someone entered the hall, and everyone stretched their necks to see. When they saw that it was an old man with white hair, everyone’s disappointment was evident.

The director welcomed him with a smile and shook hands, “Are you the representative of Fusion Light Group?”

The old man nodded, “I am here on behalf of Fusion Light Group to pick up the new employee.”

The director smiled, “Welcome, welcome. The lucky one who will join your company is Yu Miao from our orphanage, and she’s ready to leave.”

As soon as the words fell, a girl with light blue hair and a gray backpack followed the guide and walked over. The old man had seen her picture beforehand, so he recognized her as the new employee. He kindly said, “Yu Miao, I am the personnel manager of Fusion Light. I’m here to pick you up. Is there anything else you need to do?”

Yu Miao adjusted her backpack strap and shook her head, “No.”

The old man smiled kindly, “Then let’s go. The company has arranged accommodation for you, and you can move in today.”

“Wow!”

A cry of excitement came from behind, and the entire hall suddenly became restless. The old man turned around and saw a man with flaming red hair walking in. His sharp ears caught the screams from below—

“Ah! It’s the personnel manager of Giant Wave Group, a member of the Dragon Clan! Ah! Ah! Ah! Ah!”

“He’s so handsome! His red hair is so attractive! He has such a noble air! I’m suffocating! Ah! Ah! Ah! Ah!”

Zhuo long: “…”

At this moment, all the attention was focused on the newcomers from the companies, and Zhuo long, sitting quietly in the corner, was ignored. However, he didn’t mind; in fact, he was quite content with this outcome.

….

“Is he handsome?” The old man glanced at the person who was shaking hands with the headmaster.

“Not really,” the old man replied to Yu Miao behind him. “Follow me, we’re leaving.”

He turned his head with a smile and greeted the red-haired dragon race, “Manager Yi is here too. Looks like I arrived early, so I’ll take my leave.”

The red-haired dragon race smiled, exuding a completely different gentle temperament from the flamboyant red hair. “Take care, Manager Shan.”

After leaving the hall, the old man complained to Yu Miao behind him, “Who wasn’t handsome when they were young? These youngsters nowadays are too shallow. People become more capable as they age. Shouldn’t handsome men become more popular as they get older?”

Yu Miao: “…”

The old man looked at her and asked, “Do you think I’m still handsome?”

Gripping the shoulder strap of her bag tightly, Yu Miao nodded frantically, “Handsome! You’re the most handsome!”

…

The arrival of the red-haired dragon race caused the atmosphere in the hall to reach a climax. The children at the Time-Space Orphanage had a relatively low status among the different races, so they admired and were curious about higher-ranking races like the dragon race. Now, they could see a living dragon race standing in front of them, and they could feel the power of racial oppression. Many children were overwhelmed; it was just too cool and powerful!

The person standing next to the dragon race, about to join the Giant Wave Group, became the target of envy and jealousy from countless people. Especially during their ritual hug, these looks of envy almost turned into tangible arrows. If it weren’t for the imminent departure, the person joining the Giant Wave Group suspected that they would have been shot through by a thousand arrows before leaving the hall. It was terrifying!

But it felt good as well! To stand beside a dragon race was definitely a high point in this person’s life!

The powerful and beautiful dragon race beside them caused this person to involuntarily look at the golden-haired girl sitting in the first row. The dragon race had become powerful beyond their imagination, so what about the god race?

This question wasn’t limited to this person; many others were also considering it. While the dragon race and the god race had both appeared in the past, the orphanage didn’t allow them to observe, so they hadn’t witnessed the magnificence of the dragon and god races. They could only catch glimpses of them from the recorded live streams afterwards.

Today, seeing the dragon race in person made them realize that the videos they had seen before were simply an insult to the dragon race. The sense of racial oppression and the imposing aura could only be felt in person. Only by seeing it with their own eyes did they understand why higher-ranking races were called so!

The oppression of the dragon race was already so powerful, so how much stronger would the god race, at the top of all races, be?

Not only were the children at the orphanage curious about the god race, even some company managers had stayed back, including the red-haired dragon race.

“Manager Yi, aren’t we leaving?” someone cautiously spoke up.

The red-haired dragon race looked at the new employee he came to pick up and replied, “Let’s wait a little longer before leaving.”

“Manager Yi, are you also curious about the god race?” the person asked again.

The red-haired dragon race nodded, “Of course. Who would pass up the chance to see the god race?”

“But, but, the god race came a few years ago, so Manager Yi should have already seen them, right?”

The red-haired dragon race chuckled lightly, “The one who came before was the god race? That’s too funny!”

After saying that, the red-haired dragon race didn’t say anything more, and the person didn’t dare to ask further. They felt completely baffled; did Manager Yi mean that the one who came before wasn’t the god race? But everyone said it was the god race!!

Over half of the 220 people had been picked up, but there were still a few companies left. However, more people seemed to be coming into the hall instead of leaving. The headmaster was deep in thought; could there really be some bigwig coming today? Or was it someone important enough to make the dragon race wait?

A few more minutes passed, and suddenly, there was a commotion at the hall’s entrance. Everyone turned to look, and a white-haired man walked in.

“Ah, ah, ah, that’s the god race, right!! So handsome, ah, ah, ah!”

“Silver hair, he must be from the Feng Family, the god race! I finally saw the god race!”

The slightly older children in the hall screamed, their eyes glued to the slowly approaching white-haired man. At the same time, many people who had been lurking in the live stream came out; the live stream, which had been relatively quiet since the red-haired dragon race appeared, suddenly erupted!

【”I finally waited!!! Thank goodness I didn’t give up!!!”】

【”It’s him! It’s him!! It’s the god race who appeared at the Time-Space Orphanage a few years ago!!!”】

【Oh my, the god looks so handsome! When his eyes swept across the camera, my heart almost jumped out!!】

【He’s so charming!! So elegant!!!】

【This is the first time I’ve paid attention to the Time-Space Orphanage this year. I’ve missed the whole world before this!】

As the hall and the live stream were abuzz with excitement, the headmaster also greeted the god, “Welcome, Your Excellency. An ke is ready and can leave with you at any time.”

The white-haired man nodded, and with a signal from the headmaster, An ke walked up amidst the gaze of thousands of people. Everyone in the hall and the live stream focused their attention on her as she took steps towards the god. Countless people envied this lucky girl.

Under such scrutiny, An ke felt deeply satisfied. Yes, this was the feeling she desired. To be in the spotlight was her pursuit, and only the god could bring her that. Joining the Time-Space Group was just the beginning. She would do everything to stay by the side of this god forever. Only then could she have all eyes forever fixed on her.

With graceful steps, she approached the god, revealing her perfectly practiced smile she had practiced in front of the mirror countless times. An ke opened her mouth and said, “Your Excellency, the god, An ke is ready and will follow your orders.”

She slightly lowered her head, revealing her slender and fair neck, and her petite and delicate pointed ears trembled slightly, exuding an indescribable pure charm.

“Um, Miss An ke might have some misunderstanding. I am not a god but a retainer of the god, serving in the Time-Space Group,” his voice echoed throughout the entire hall through the microphone.

An ke’s movements instantly stiffened.

The people in the hall and the online viewers in the live stream all had a big question mark —

【? What did he say? The wind was too strong, and I think I didn’t hear clearly…】

【………… What did he say…? He’s not a god…? Someone please tell me if I misheard?】

【Did I mishear too?】

【Me too +1】

【It can’t be that everyone misheard, so… he really isn’t a god?】

【What kind of international joke is this? His aura all over screams god. Who else could he be if not a god?】

Just then, the online viewers noticed that everyone at the hall’s entrance fell silent and looked at the door. The white-haired man at the center of the live stream also turned to look outside. As soon as the people outside appeared, the white-haired man suddenly shouted, “Master, over here.”

His voice just fell when a silver-haired man appeared on the live stream. Before anyone could clearly see his appearance, a powerful oppressive aura engulfed the place. The previously noisy hall and live stream, filled with the red-haired dragon and the white-haired man, instantly became as quiet as chickens.

Everyone was unconsciously holding their breaths as they focused their gaze on the silver-haired man with silver eyes walking briskly.

“Master, the new employee of the Time-Space Group is here. Do you have any orders?” The calm words of the white-haired man brought everyone, both on-site and online, back to their senses. The comments of the online viewers began to flood the screen —

【Master?!! Is he the Master I’m thinking of?!!】

【OMG! OMG! OMG! How could I, of all people, have the privilege to see the Master of the gods?!!】

【Master? The Feng Family’s Master?!!! I can’t believe I’m seeing such a top-notch figure like this!! Why didn’t anyone tell me in advance? I haven’t even bathed and prepared for this!!】

【Sobs, I’m crying for my previous blindness. I was doubting that the retainer was a god when it’s so obvious that the Master’s presence and appearance overshadow him. My eyes were so blind, I regret it!!】

【I regret too!!! Seeing the Master makes me realize what a god truly is. A god is an existence you can’t even imagine until you see them. Sob, sob, sob.】

【So, so, so, so handsome! No, using “handsome” to describe the Master is not enough. Sob, sob, sob, I’m at a loss for words, and I, a humble person, can’t find a word to describe the beauty of the Master!!!】

…

Compared to the online viewers, the impact on the people present was even greater. The headmaster’s mind went blank for several seconds before gradually coming back to his senses. He approached in a fluster and stammered, “M-Master, do you… do you have any orders?”

Feng Ye directly replied, “I’m here to fetch Zhuo Long.”

Zhuo… Zhuo Long?

The headmaster suspected that there was something wrong with his ears. How else could he have heard the name of a low-grade Jiaozu from the mouth of the big boss of the Time-Space Group, the Master of the Feng Family?

The person in front of him didn’t respond, so Feng Ye frowned and asked, “What? Isn’t Zhuo Long here?”

The slight impatience in his tone snapped the headmaster back to reality, and he hurriedly said, “H-He’s here! Please wait a moment, Master. I’ll go call Zhuo Long immediately.”

When Zhuo Long was called in front of the god, he looked utterly bewildered. He didn’t know what he had done to be personally called out by the god.

Equally confused was An ke on the stage. Clearly, the god had come to take her, and she had presented her best side in front of the god. Everything was going smoothly. But suddenly, the person she thought was the god said he wasn’t a god, and then the real god appeared, leaving her stunned. She hadn’t even had a chance to speak to the real god when he said he was here to find Zhuo Long!

Zhuo Long? The one who was isolated by everyone in the orphanage?

How was this possible? Zhuo Long was just a low-grade Jiaozu. How could he know the god? How could the god personally call him out? An ke was the new employee of the Time-Space Group, wasn’t she?!

Feng Ye had no interest in the thoughts of others. When he saw the boy in front of him, who was indeed the person in the photo Bai Xianzhi had given him, he nodded slightly and said straightforwardly, “Zhuo Long, come with me.”

With that, he turned and walked away. Zhuo Long hadn’t fully comprehended the situation, but his body instinctively followed Feng Ye.

An ke also wanted to follow, but she was stopped by the white-haired man. He said, “Miss An ke, come with me. I’ll take you to the Time-Space Group.”

An ke: “?”

What about the god?!!

Online viewers in the live stream: Completely confused.

【If I remember correctly, Zhuo Long was recruited by Three Thousand Food House, right?】

【So, why is the Feng Family’s master claiming the employees of Three Thousand Food House?】

【…Could it be that the rumored god race behind Three Thousand Food House is actually the Feng Family?】

【This… is the only reasonable explanation. Maybe the sudden appearance of the Feng Family’s master is because of the employees from Three Thousand Food House?】

【Makes sense. Time-Space Group has recruited people from the Time-Space Orphanage before, but each time it was that servant who appeared, which led everyone to believe that the servant was a god. The only difference this time is that Three Thousand Food House is recruiting, and then the master personally appears!】

【I have a question. What is the relationship between Three Thousand Food House and the Feng Family, or rather, the boss and the Feng Family’s master? How can they make the master come personally to pick someone up!!】

【Good question!! I want to know too!!】

【I want to know +1】

【I want to know +1000】

…

The news of the appearance of the Feng Family’s master spread like wildfire across the internet that day. While countless people worshipped and adored the Feng Family’s master, a large group of people flocked to the Three Thousand Food House account and asked the soul-searching question:

【Boss, what is your relationship with the Feng Family’s master?!!】
