703: C703 Olive Branch

C703 Olive Branch

"What are you guys trying to do?" Ye Ling turned around and glanced at the few people walking over. His gaze swept across the group of bodyguards and finally landed on a young man who looked to be in his thirties.

Without even thinking, it was obvious that this person was the leader of this group of people.

"Mr. Ye Ling, don't worry, I mean no harm."

At this moment, the bodyguards stopped and stood quietly at the side. The young man walked up and introduced himself to Ye Ling, "My name is Mi Ke Thompson, you can call me Thompson."

The young man paused for a moment, then continued laughing, "Maybe you've never heard of my name before, but Mr. Ye Ling should be more familiar with the Church."

Hearing this, Ye Ling's eyes flashed as he reexamined Thompson.

Ye Ling originally had some guesses about his identity, but he only guessed that the other party might be a member of some society. He didn't expect them to be from the Church.

The existence of the Church, Ye Ling had heard Ali mention it before. It was the most mysterious organization in the dark world, an existence that everyone knew about even though it was not on the surface.

It was said that he did not exist on the surface because what the Church showed to the people was always the tip of their iceberg. For example, the members who spent all their time in every corner of the dark world were always hidden in the crowd with the lowest pitch, and if one did not personally admit it, very few people would be able to recognize him.

As for what exactly this organization looked like, and how much power it possessed, even Ali couldn't tell. He only knew that this organization seemed to control everything in the dark world, such as the circulation of black coins, the evaluation of membership, and even the rankings of the Heavenly Rankings. It was extremely useful in the dark world.

Some said that the Church's power was above the eight great societies and was the ruler of the dark world. Others said that the Church itself was an independent entity formed from the interference of the eight great societies, and such an existence itself represented the common will of the eight great societies.

As for why Ye Ling didn't consider Thompson's identity to be from the Church, firstly, the people from the Church were always mysterious, and very few would blow their identity up to outsiders. Secondly, Adolf didn't introduce him to the banquet.

But no matter what, since the other party had found him and explicitly told Ye Ling his identity, Ye Ling naturally wanted to see what exactly he was planning to do.

As for the credibility of his identity, there was no need to doubt it, because in the dark world, no one would dare to lie about being a member of the Church unless they wanted to die.

"Hello, Mr. Thompson."

Ye Ling smiled in a neither humble nor arrogant manner, and reached out his hand to shake the other's hand.

"I've already ordered people to prepare some refreshments at the top floor of the Nightless City. I wonder if Mr. Ye Ling can help us with it?" After Mi Ke Thompson released his grip on Ye Ling, he immediately went straight to the point.

"Alright."

Ye Ling nodded.

"Please."

Thompson extended his hand in a gesture of invitation, followed by a few bodyguards who led the way. Ye Ling, Ali, Kuang Wang and Thompson walked towards the elevator.

Three minutes later, on the top floor of the Nightless City.

As the tallest building in the entire Dark World, Nightless City had a total of 72 floors from the ground floor to the top floor, comparable to the world's tallest hotel, the Raihan Golden Rose Hotel. And the top floor was located in the most luxurious presidential suite in the entire Nightless City.

"Please."

From here, they could see the entire world of darkness. Under the pitch-black sky, there was a huge city, and other than the lights of the city, there were no stars in the surroundings, only endless darkness, as if they were in the abyss of the universe.

Several maids in maid attire were already waiting here and saw Ye Ling. Eli and Thompson came in and bowed respectfully: "Welcome back, Mr. Thompson. Welcome back, three guests."

"Please take a seat."

Thompson pointed to the sofa at the side and said to Ye Ling and the other man.

Hearing this, the two of them did not bother to be polite with him. They strode up and sat on a sofa, while Thompson sat opposite them.

As for Kuang Wang, he didn't sit, but walked to stand behind Ye Ling and Ali.

A maid brought a pot of coffee that had been prepared beforehand and placed it on the table in front of the three. A maid then placed a pot of coffee that had been prepared beforehand and placed it on the table in front of the three of them.0

"The coffee here comes from the Esmeralda Manor's Geisha. The pastries are all made by the top pastry makers in the Nightless City. Don't you want to try them, Mr. Ye Ling?"

Thompson was not in a hurry to explain the purpose of inviting Ye Ling over, but he only smiled faintly.

Ye Ling was not anxious at all, he smiled and said: "Sure."

Ye Ling lifted the coffee cup to his mouth with one hand and gulped it down without caring if it was hot or not. After a few gulps, the expensive cup of coffee reached the bottom in an instant.

When the bodyguard and maid saw this scene, their expressions became slightly unnatural.

It was the most expensive coffee in the world, worth 400 meters per pound. It was a sky-high price, but Ye Ling didn't look like he was drinking the most expensive coffee, he was just treating it as water.

"Ka …" "Burp!"

"Hahaha, Mr. Ye Ling is a man of his character."

Seeing this scene, Thomson was also stunned. However, in order to avoid an awkward atmosphere, he quickly smiled and said, "How is it? This coffee is to your liking, Mr. Ye Ling?"

"Just average."

Ye Ling frowned and said in all seriousness, "It's just bitter. I suggest that you can try the Nestle Instant Wear. It tastes a lot better than that."

"Puchi …"

Eli almost couldn't hold it in as he covered his mouth in confusion.

Thompson looked at Ye Ling with a blank expression and nodded his head seriously when he heard this, "Since it was Mr. Ye Ling's suggestion, I will definitely get someone to buy it and personally taste it some other time."

It wasn't his fault, mainly because Thompson had been born in the church since he was young and had access to high-level resources. Naturally, a popular coffee brand like Nestl had never appeared in his line of sight, and after seeing Ye Ling's serious recommendation, he thought it was some kind of high-end product that he had never heard of before.

On the other hand, Ye Ling's face was calm, his ability to speak nonsense was perfect, he nodded in deep thought and said, "You should try it, don't be fooled by this kind of expensive and unpleasant stuff."

Without waiting for Thompson to reply, Ye Ling cut straight to the point. "Well, the coffee is finished, so Mr. Thompson invited me over. It's not as simple as just having a cup of coffee, is it?"

Thompson grinned as he looked at Dudian: "I'll be straightforward then."

"I would like to invite Mr. Ye Ling — — to join the Church."
