Chapter 531 – A SUDDEN VISIT
LUO YAN, of course, noticed Bai Ze's sudden abnormality. "What's wrong Brother Ze?"
"Ahm, someone from team Celestials just sent me a message," Bai Ze said, looking once again at his Message Tab.
Uriel: [White Marsh, it seems that your team is doing something that involved borrowing the face of our Captain. I wanted to give you the benefit of the doubt and believe that your team was not doing something diabolical with our Captain's face. But a particular member of our team doesn't share the same opinion. If you don't give us an acceptable reason, I'm afraid he would directly attack your headquarters just so he could have his answer. I believe both of us don't want that, right? So, our team would really appreciate a bit of explanation.]
Bai Ze read that message to his team mates. And then he turned to Su Yuqi. "So, what exactly happened when you took Eclipse to Celestials' headquarters?"
He actually already had an idea on who this 'particular member' Uriel was talking about. He just wondered why that person was not the one who messaged him. After all, he was more familiar with him that Uriel.
Su Yuqi rolled her eyes at Bai Ze. "Don't look at me as if it's my fault. Those Angels are just a sensitive bunch."
Luo Yan already had an idea on what exactly happened. Su Yuqi probably just let Eclipse transformed into Michael in front of everyone in Celestials. But he also understood that there wasn't that much choice in that situation anyway. It was a race against time. Things could have gone south if they didn't manage to quickly show the fake 'Michael' to Raphael.
He was betting on the chance that Raphael's feelings for Michael were actually deep enough that he would ignore the tell-tale signs that there was something off. After all, if the other would have just stopped and think things through, he would definitely have noticed that there was a problem.
But he didn't. Because he was too wrapped up on the idea that he might meet Michael at any second. In this matter, Luo Yan's gamble definitely paid off.
However, it seemed that it created some kind of misunderstanding with team Celestials. Their team was already under scrutiny because of that article. He would feel really guilty if they entangled with team Celestials next. Especially since he was technically the one who caused it.
"Let me talk to them," he said. "I will explain everything."
"No, I'm our team's Captain. So, let me handle it," Shen Ji Yun said. "Tell them that two representatives of their team can go to our headquarters and they will have their answer."
"Then, I will also go with Brother Ji Yun," Luo Yan insisted.
"How about we just all go together?" Bai Ze suggested.
"I'll take a raincheck on that. Not really interested in dealing with those guys," Su Yuqi said. She's not really in the mood to have some kind of word battle with that one who looked like a sly fox. She turned to Luo Jin. "Want to join me in some late-night dungeon raid?"
Before Luo Jin could think, he had already stood up and said, "Okay."
Su Yuqi grinned and pulled Luo Jin. Then, the two just teleported out of there.
"That woman, shouldn't she be there considering she's the one who brought Eclipse at the Celestials' headquarters? She even pulled Xiao Jin to play hooky," Bai Ze complained.
Luo Yan chuckled. "It's alright Brother Ze. It's not really a requirement that all of us should be there."
Besides, Luo Jin also definitely preferred to go dungeon raiding with Su Yuqi than to talk to the members of team Celestials.
———-
Bai Ze was standing in front of the huge door of their headquarters, waiting for the arrival of whoever team Celestials sent. Honestly, he felt like his role in this team had been increasing a lot lately. He not only became an information gatherer, he also turned into some kind of messenger, and now even a doorkeeper.
Really, where would people find an amazing all-rounder such as himself?
Soon, a crack appeared in the air. Showing that someone was trying to teleport there. After a few seconds, two figures appeared. Both were wearing the standard white uniform of team Celestials.
One had golden-brown hair and a pair of light blue eyes hiding behind spectacles. This was Uriel – team Celestials' strategist. He was actually not that familiar with. One could say that they were just on normal speaking terms.
The one beside him on the other hand could be said to be an acquaintance. In fact, the both of them knew each other in real life. It was Zhong Hui.
His avatar was no different from how he looked in real life. He had a muscular build and overly sharp features. The only difference was his military cut hair was now the color of gold and his dark eyes were also now the color of the sky. Not only that, his usual wheat colored skin was now as white as porcelain.
And he was currently glaring at Bai Ze.
Bai Ze scratched his nose. He had already expected that the person who was very angry at seeing Eclipse transforming into Michael was this guy. After all, he had heard quite a lot of rumor that Michael was very special to Zhong Hui.
If this was before, he would probably just think that the two had a very special friendship. But after knowing Shen Ji Yun's feelings for Luo Yan, he might as well evaluate his conjecture. Who knows, maybe Zhong Hui was also in love with Michael.
If that was the case though, then this conversation would certainly not be pretty.
"Welcome to our team's place," he just said to be polite.
Duan Yu looked at the ancient styled palace in front of him. He had long wanted to see Yunyue's headquarters. But there wasn't actually a chance to do so. Who would have thought that this chance would come at this form?
Zhong Hui didn't bother to look at the magnificent castle. Instead, he walked up to Bai Ze and said, "Your team better have a good explanation for what happened."
