Jack tried to avoid eye contact, but the woman kept looking at him. The woman smiled and said, "Oh... you don't need to be so nervous. I am a business partner of little bean, my name is Li Mei." Then she reached out her hand to signal to Jack. Jack looked at Li Mei's hand and felt embarrassed, thinking that if he shook hands, his identity would definitely be discovered. Jack had to awkwardly avoid Li Mei's outstretched hand, trying to maintain his sense of mystery while nervously pondering the identity of this woman who claimed to be a little bean business partner, Li Mei. Her gaze seemed to see through people's hearts, making Jack feel uneasy.
Li Mei saw that Jack did not shake hands and smiled slightly, as if she understood his caution. She continued, "I am very interested in your performance in the arena just now. little bean rarely has the opportunity to meet talents like you. But don't worry, I'm not here to cause you trouble, I just want to understand the new champion's style."
Jack's nervousness eased slightly, but he remained vigilant. He replied, "Thank you for your praise. I'm just doing my best, nothing special." His tone remained neutral, trying not to reveal any more information to the other party.
Li Mei seemed satisfied with Jack's response. She nodded gently and then changed the subject, "You know, the competition here is not just for entertainment, it's also a large-scale weapons showcase. Many participants are here to demonstrate their mechs and weapon technology." As she said this, her gaze swept over Jack, as if searching for some clue.
Jack listened to Li Mei's words and became even more convinced that nothing here was as simple as it seemed on the surface. He had to be more cautious to avoid exposing his true identity and also to uncover Li Mei's true intentions. Jack prepared himself mentally, waiting for little bean to appear so that he could further his own plans.
Li Mei continued, "I came this time... to talk to you about this champion..." Before Li Mei could finish her sentence, the room's door was suddenly pushed open, and little bean entered with his characteristic cheerful laughter. He greeted Li Mei with a laugh, "Hahaha, Li Mei, my beauty!" Then he turned his gaze to Jack, his smile tinged with some confusion, "And our... new champion?"
Jack felt a wave of nervousness. He knew little bean was a shrewd character and couldn't let him notice anything unusual. He tried to stay calm and responded as nonchalantly as possible, "Yes, I am the champion this time."
little bean approached Jack, curiosity evident in his eyes. "Oh, truly astonishing. Your performance is truly commendable. But your attire... it's a bit unusual," he said, intentionally or unintentionally scrutinizing Jack, seemingly trying to glean more information from his appearance.
Li Mei smiled and watched the scene without interrupting. She seemed unsurprised by little bean's behavior and instead showed interest in Jack's reaction.
Jack quickly thought about how to respond in his mind and said, "I'm a bit... afraid of crowds, so that's why I cover myself like this. However, my passion for mecha battles is unmatched."
little bean seemed satisfied with the explanation and patted Jack on the shoulder with a smile, "Haha, that's the style of a champion! Come on, let's talk about the future, about your plans in the Duel Kingdom." His tone was relaxed, but it conveyed an unquestionable sense of command.
In the luxurious VIP room, after the door was closed, the atmosphere immediately became intimate and cautious. little bean, Li Mei, and Jack were alone in the room, and the air seemed to be filled with their respective calculations and probing.
little bean With a hint of curiosity and admiration, I looked at Jack and asked, "Lucy... we noticed that your mecha performed remarkably well... did you modify it yourself?" His voice carried appreciation for Jack's skills.
Jack struggled to maintain his disguise, his voice trembling slightly as he tried to remain composed. "Yes... I modified it myself," he said, revealing a hint of unease but also pride in his words.
little bean nodded, seemingly satisfied with Jack's response, and continued to inquire, "It seems that you not only have a knack for piloting mechs, but also have quite the skill in modifying them, huh?" His gaze swept over Jack, as if trying to see through the mysterious champion and uncover any secrets he may be hiding.
Meanwhile, Li Mei quietly observed everything, her eyes filled with an unfathomable light, as if waiting for a crucial moment to arrive. Her presence added to the complexity of the atmosphere in the room, as if everyone had their own secrets and purposes.
Jack felt immense pressure, knowing he had to be careful in handling the situation. Any small mistake could lead to his identity being exposed. At this moment, he was not only seeking intelligence but also ensuring his own safety in this dangerous environment.
Jack tried to maintain his composure, but there was still a subtle tremble in his voice as he carefully constructed his lie: "I'm okay... I served in the battlefield before and learned some skills." His words seemed to hint at memories of past experiences.
little bean seemed quite interested, with a curious smile on his face: "Oh! Really? Serving on the battlefield?" There was a hint of scrutiny in his eyes.
Li Mei asked more directly, her eyes fixed on Jack: "So, which troops are you with?" Her question seemed like a test of Jack, to gauge his reaction.
Jack was nervous, knowing he had to be careful and not show any flaws. He quickly searched for a suitable answer in his mind and ultimately decided to take a risk and mention a troops he had been in before: "I used to be in... the Mechanized Infantry Camp, Sixth Division." His tone carried a hint of determination, trying to make his lie more believable.
Little bean and Li Mei exchanged a glance, seemingly evaluating Jack's words in their minds. The atmosphere in the room became even more tense, and Jack felt the pressure. He knew he was walking on a tightrope, one misstep could lead to a fall into the abyss.
