Chapter 165 - : Sorry, I am Mute

Chapter 165: Chapter 165: Sorry, I am Mute

The High IQ Alliance? Then wouldn’t that mean everyone who can join this alliance is a genius?

And the leader… must be incredibly intelligent.

“Where is Yin Man? Did he actually show up? I really want to bet on the major’s style.”

“Who knows… It’s probably a bluff…”

Ji Tian walked past this group of people, and as Lin Shihuan had told him, sat in a corner. He looked around, and although he also wore a mask, his signature silver hair was recognizable at a glance.

He whispered, “Wait for me here, and if someone comes to talk to you, just play dumb.”

Ji Tian nodded his head, indicating no problem.

Not long after he left, panic erupted among the crowd:

“My God, is that Black Spade Q? He looks so handsome.”

“He’s as mysterious as Yin Man, wearing that mask. How can you tell he’s handsome?”

“It doesn’t matter, you can tell by his physique. Once he removes the mask, he’ll definitely be a handsome young man.”

Whispers circulated around, the ship was brimming with socialites there to stir up excitement, and also not lacking in Golden Masters’ mistresses, all sorts of people were present.

Even though it was evening, the center of the ship was as bright as day. The dense crowd started to disperse, and through the gaps, Ji Tian finally saw Black Spade Q.

In this deep autumn weather, he wore a black suit under a coat, with a mask covering half of his face, exposing his appealing thin lips. He was followed by two people, too indifferent to spare a glance at the young maidens with hearts in their eyes.

A woman in a blue off-shoulder dress stumbled and fell in front of him using the crowd’s momentum.

“Ouch, that hurts.” She lifted a pitiful face towards Black Spade Q: “Black Spade Q, could you help me up? I hurt my leg and can’t stand.”

Black Spade Q didn’t stop, stepping around her as if she were something filthy.

The woman’s face turned red, then pale. Someone in the crowd couldn’t help laughing, which led to more mocking laughter.

Unwilling to give in, the woman stood up and shouted at Black Spade Q’s retreating figure: “I am the Lida Group heiress, you dare insult me! Do you believe my father can make you disappear!”

The crowd comprised people of high status, and Lida Group was worth a few billion, which was considered average among the elite.

Black Spade Q paused, the woman thought he was scared, so she raised her head and said, “Just apologize to me and we’ll let it go.”

Unexpectedly, he spoke slowly, his voice deep and husky, “The company can disappear.”

The woman paled, staring as he walked away, assuming he was just trying to scare her. Who was he anyway, capable of bringing down a company worth billions? But staying put really embarrassed her, so she raised her hand to shield her face slightly and pushed through the crowd to leave the scene.

Ji Tian, hidden in the corner, watched with great interest. This indifference reminded her inappropriately of Qin Jiangsheng, but he was still a student, probably not as impressive as Black Spade Q.

As the clock struck seven, a figure in disarray dashed onto the ship at the last minute, even mistaking the buttons on his suit, looking almost like he was fleeing from trouble.

“Not exactly an important person, attention was minimal; most were just waiting for Yin Man.”

“Where is he? Is he coming or not? Damn it!”

“The ship has already taken off. It was indeed a decoy. I was startled; I really thought Yin Man was making a comeback.”

“So what if she makes a comeback? It’s not her era anymore.”

Ji Tian huddled under a black cloak, idly eating the cake placed in front of her. Lin Shihuan, this kid, had left and hadn’t returned yet; she had no idea what he was up to.

“Hello miss, don’t you feel lonely and cold sitting alone in this corner?”

Suddenly, a man’s voice rose before Ji Tian, who spoke in a very sleazy pick-up manner. She looked up and saw a man wearing a red rooster feather mask, sporting a mohawk hairstyle, holding a glass of red wine, and greeting her with a confident yet greasy demeanor.

She remembered Lin Shihuan’s instructions and stayed quiet, playing a mute.

“Huh? Not talking? Overwhelmed by my handsomeness to the point of not being able to face me? That’s okay. I’ve been watching you for a while. Woman, I’m very interested in you and I’m offering you a chance to be with a wealthy guy.”

Ji Tian’s eyes twitched fiercely and she gripped her fork tighter, eventually calming herself and pretending she hadn’t heard.

“Mr. Zhao? Here to pick up young girls again?” At that moment, a few men wearing various masks approached; their masks were as good as none since they all knew each other’s identities privately. The man in the lead, wearing a blue mask, casually put his hand on Mr. Zhao’s shoulder, showing interest in Ji Tian.

Mr. Zhao snorted with a scoff, “Do I need to pick up girls myself? I give them money, and a bunch of women swarm to me. I don’t even have to lift a finger to be well taken care of.”

They spoke crudely, deliberately flaunting their wealth.

Indeed, he was interested in this woman cloaked in a black mantle. He observed for a while and noticed she was alone. He concluded she was a background-less servant, as some onboard servants were dressed like her, others working while she sat lazily in the corner, giving him leverage.

But she stubbornly remained silent, gradually losing his patience.

“Not talking, huh? Careful or I’ll tell President Wen about your laziness and get you fired. Of course, if you take off your mask and let me have a look, I can forgive your disrespect. President Wen, coming here up, is like an uncle to me, and with just one word from me, he could promote and raise your salary.”

Mr. Zhao intentionally tugged at his sleeve, revealing a wristwatch worth over a hundred thousand, and checked the time pretentiously: “You have one minute to butter me up.”

Ji Tian: “Where does this idiot come from?”

As half a minute passed and Ji Tian still ignored him, under the teasing eyes of his companions, his face gradually couldn’t hang on. Annoyed and embarrassed, he blurted out, “Am I giving you face, huh? Taking my words as empty air? Speak up!”

Ji Tian then slowly raised her head and lazily dropped a line, “Sorry, I’m a mute.”

Mr. Zhao: “…”

His companions: “…”

“Ha ha ha, good one! Mr. Zhao got played by a woman.”

Mr. Zhao took this as a defiance from the woman before him. Known for his volatile temper in the circle and his family’s wealth, he had always walked fearlessly. He had never felt such humiliation.

He reached out to grab Ji Tian’s black cloak, “Damn it, being looked up by me is your three lifetimes’ fortune. Don’t be ungrateful, you sleazy bitch playing hard to get. Hiding so tight, must be a freak, right? I will throw you into the sea to feed the fish.”

Ji Tian’s gaze turned sharp. As his hand reached out, she grabbed his wrist with a counter-move, kneeing his stomach at lightning-fast speed. The wine glass fell onto the deck and shattered, and the commotion quickly drew the attention of those around.
