Chapter 31 Evolution
“Why is he here to find me?”
Lu Jin was surprised to hear that name.
The aggressive Jiang Haoyuan!
There was probably no one in the entire City of Light who did not know that name. The well-known figure in the Fantasy Light Group was second only to Xia Qingyao. He led the marketing department of the Fantasy Light Group to sweep through thousands of troops and conquer the surrounding cities and towns, and had opened up many markets for the Fantasy Light Group.
His talent was also very impressive. His Endurance was Rank ‘S’, and his Strength, Agility, and Neural Reaction were Rank ‘A’. Although he was slightly older than Xia Qingyao and was already 25 years old, he was one of the few top-notch Adventurers in the entire City of Light. His AR Level was currently 23, and he was second only to Xia Qingyao in the entire city.
He tore and devoured every opponent he defeated and tried to find ways to use them. It was precisely because of that method that he earned the “aggressive” label that intimidated people.
Although Lu Jin had heard from Xia Qingyao that Jiang Haoyuan was one of the candidates who had taken the initiative to apply to become Xia Qingyao’s fiancé, he did not seem to have any plans after that matter was settled.
“CEO Lu, do you want to see him?” Xu Xiaotian asked worriedly.
Although Jiang Haoyuan was one of CEO Xia’s right-hand men like Qin Lianyue, he was an extremely ambitious man. Back then, although Jiang Haoyuan was highly regarded and placed in an important position by CEO Xia, he was an extremely unstable factor. In the entire Fantasy Light Group, only CEO Xia could barely suppress him.
Now that CEO Xia had been busy preparing for the expedition to the City of Thousand Stars and had not been in the City of Light for a long time, no one in the entire city could hold Jiang Haoyuan back anymore…
“I’ll see him. Let him in.”
Lu Jin tidied up his attire. He was pretty curious as to why Jiang Haoyuan had come to look for him. He could not hide from him as it was impossible for him to stay at the Daylight Residence forever. After all, he had many things to do.
Over the past few days, Lu Jin realized that the number of Shadowrazes he saw outside had decreased. To him, that was not exactly a good thing. It was probably the calm before the storm.
Therefore, he had to have better preparation. After all, no one could help him with that. The only way was to obtain the Sacred Grounds as soon as possible.
During that period of time, Chen Kemeng did not give him a clear reply. She only said that the board of directors was still in discussion. However, the evolution method of ordinary monsters had already been spread.
From time to time, he even let the maids and servants in the Daylight Residence witness the ordinary monsters suddenly become abnormally powerful in the training hall. That could make the outside world believe that the rumors about the evolution method of ordinary monsters were true.
Of course, he also told Xia Qingyao about that evolution method. After all, Xia Qingyao was already his wife.
Even though they had yet to hold an official wedding, they had already registered their marriage legally, so there was no need to hide that little secret.
Regarding that, Xia Qingyao was also very supportive of him obtaining the Sun and Moon Group’s Sacred Grounds. Many of the rumors about the evolution method were arranged by Xia Qingyao. After all, with a portion of the Chen family’s Sacred Grounds, they would not have to spend large amounts of money to purchase Sacred Fruits in the future.
During that period of time, Xia Qingyao suddenly left the City of Light. She said that she was preparing for the expedition to the City of Thousand Stars, but in fact, she was going outside to collect a large amount of crystal residues. After all, that evolution method could only earn a wave of money and was not sustainable. Before she sold it for a good price, she naturally had to stock up properly. Only then could she make a huge
profit.

Before Lu Jin could finish a sip of tea in the lounge, a tall and burly young man, who was like a tiger, walked in.
After looking at the young man, Lu Jin finally understood why everyone called Jiang Haoyuan “aggressive”.
Disregarding his mighty tiger-like aura, just the dazzling light emitted from his entire body was like a small light pulse. Lu Jin couldn’t help but be shocked.
“This light-pulse energy is probably 10 times that of mine.”
Lu Jin looked at Jiang Haoyuan, who was already in front of him, and could clearly feel the heat that emanated from the light pulse.
“Nice to meet you, CEO Lu. It’s really not easy to meet you.” Jiang Haoyuan was almost 190 centimeters tall, but he had a kind smile on his face.
“Mr Jiang, you must be joking. I’m just a person who has nothing to do at home. On the other hand, Mr Jiang is a busy man. I’m really puzzled that you’re here to see me now.” Lu Jin laughed and replied.
“No, no, no. Previously, I had something urgent to attend to, so I didn’t have time to rush over to your engagement banquet. Therefore, I’m here today to apologize and give you my blessings.” Jiang Haoyuan shook his head gently, and his expression suddenly became serious. “At the same time, I also want to have a good chat with CEO Lu.”
“Thank you for your blessings, Mr Jiang. May I know what you’re here to talk about?” Lu Jin asked curiously.
“Of course, we’re talking about the Fantasy Light Group and your future.” Jiang Haoyuan smiled faintly and waved his hand. Instantly, a holographic map appeared in front of Lu Jin. “CEO Lu, do you know how many cities, including our City of Light, depend on the City of Thousand Stars to survive?”
“From what I’ve heard, it seems to be 14 cities.” Lu Jin was full of surprise when he heard Jiang Haoyuan’s sudden question. “The number that CEO Lu mentioned is indeed the data that the City of Light disclosed to the public.” Jiang Haoyuan snapped his fingers. Instantly, the map changed. Cities appeared on the map. “But the truth is 22 cities!”
“22?” Lu Jin was shocked.
According to his memory from 400 years ago, there were only 11 cities within a radius of a few hundred kilometers of the City of Light. It was normal that a few more cities had emerged after 400 years. Moreover, according to the memory of the dead younger Lu Jin, there should be a total of 15 cities, including the City of Thousand Stars, with the City of Thousand Stars at the center.
There were quite a few towns along the way. There were dozens of them, but because the area without mist was too small, each and every one of them was a gathering place that had appeared in the past two hundred years. Moreover, there were no safe zones set up 400 years ago, so those towns had never developed and could not be considered a city at all.
It was hard to imagine that there were eight cities that were not documented…
“CEO Lu, it’s normal that you don’t know, because the remaining cities are on the other side of the City of Thousand Stars, close to the inland. There are much more resources there than the barren lands on our side, but they are too far away from our cities.” Jiang Haoyuan slowly explained, “Furthermore, these cities are different from our cities. They are all cities that truly belong to the City of Thousand Stars. You can treat these cities as part of the City of Thousand Stars, so there are only 14 cities on the surface. CEO Lu, do you understand this?”.
“Mr Jiang, what are you trying to say?”

Lu Jin had some vague guesses and could roughly understand why Xia Qingyao. Qin Lianyue and the rest said that Jiang Haoyuan was extremely ambitious.
Jiang Haoyuan waved his hand again and put away the holographic map. He looked at Lu Jin and said with a smile, “The City of Thousand Stars never had the time to deal with our 14 cities in the past. Now, a few large financial groups in the City of Thousand Stars have time, so they want to take over these cities. One of them, the Sage Star Financial Group, is very interested in CEO Xia. They even wanted to recruit CEO Xia to be their daughter-in-law.”
“It’s a pity that CEO Xia rejected it, so I could only settle for second best and apply to be CEO Xia’s fiancé. When the time came, I could still enter the Sage Star Financial Group. However, I didn’t expect you to appear, CEO Lu.”
“So you want to persuade me to bring Qingyao along to join the Sage Star Financial Group?” Lu Jin laughed and said.
“No, no, no!” Jiang Haoyuan shook his head again and said seriously, “I’ve already given up on CEO Xia. I want you to divorce CEO Xia and join the Sage Star Financial Group with me!”
