Chapter 632
With the ushers leading the way, Ellinor stepped into Eden International Private Club.
Riding the elevator to the top floor, where the conference was being held, she was in the midst of a tight knit process that ensured no unwanted guests or leaks of private
information.
Once they reached the conference floor, the ushers took their leave
Ellinor walked in alone.
The lighting in the conference room was dim, unlike the usual bright lights at most shindigs.
Everyone was anonymous. They were here for a tech exchange and were not keen on revealing their true identities.
The low light allowed for better concealment of facial features, like their eyes.
The hall was buzzing and filled with people it felt more like a masquerade, except everyone was donning similar masks.
In the center of the hall, some folks were engaged in chatter and sipping drinks. Further in, there was a small stage where people were discussing new systems and other techy stuff.
“Look! It’s Snow Bunny!”
“Snow Bunny is here too!”
“Snow Bunny has been laying low these past few years. She used to love sneaking into other countries‘ defense systems and changing their slogans.”
“Damn, that’s impressive!”
Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, Ellinor gave a small smile and found a quiet spot to sit and listen to the stage talk
The presentation on stage was going through slides, discussing some recent tech issues.
After a while, Ellinor started to feel a bit drowsy. She looked around to see if anything new was going on that could keep her awake
Whispers were floating around her.
“With Snow Bunny here today, what about AAAres?”
*AAAres is here today too!”
“Where? Where? I haven’t seen AAAres yet!”
“Over by the floor–to–ceiling windows! Look!”
“Wow! AAAres is so tall, I bet he’s 190 cm!”
“Yeah! Even sitting down, he looks long–legged What a build! People of that caliber must have a pretty extraordinary real–life identity. I just wonder if he’s good–looking”
“I really want to meet him! But why is he sitting all alone over there and not coming over to chat?”
“Real powerhouses are always solitary! Look at the aura around AAAres, people are afraid to approach him! He doesn’t even initiate conversation. If no one dares to, would you?
“I wouldn’t…”
Listening to the side chatter, Ellinor learned that AAAres was also present and spotted his figure by the floor–to–ceiling windows.
It was him, no doubt.
In fact, she had met AAAres years ago at an offline forum, where they briefly exchanged some thoughts. They shared many similar ideas, but that encounter was too fleeting for her to delve deeper
Now that they had a chance to meet again, she couldn’t let this opportunity for an in-depth discussion slip away.
Finding the ongoing discussion quite dull, Ellinor stood up and headed towards the man quietly sipping his drink by the windows,
Seeing her approach AAAres, the folks nearby still kept their whispers going. They were even more excited than before.
A meeting and exchange between two titans in the field was undoubtedly a sight to behold
“AAAres, long time no see!”
Ellinor greeted first. Her voice, after going through the voice changer, was unrecognizable
AAAres looked up, his face mngefly covered by a metallic mask, only revealing his chin and thin lips.
