Liu Siyi decided to show some of his strength; he didn't believe that the people here would be scared.
Long Hao's strength was already known, and the aura given off by the person sitting here was extremely similar to Long Hao's, even stronger. However, internal skills and the supernatural were two different things, and his abilities should be able to serve as a very effective deterrent.
However, there was still one thing that needed to be accomplished.
"Uncle Long, I need a large warehouse to store things. It needs to be at least twenty meters high, the higher the better, the larger the better, and preferably sealed. Do you have a suitable place?" Liu Siyi asked.
"A warehouse that big is hard to find. Wait a moment, I'll make a call to check." Uncle Long then dialed his secretary's number and asked her to investigate.
"Uncle Long, if you can find one, please go ahead and secure it for me. I'll pay for it," Liu Siyi quickly said.
"Xiao Yi, the money is no big deal. What do you need such a large warehouse for? It's almost as big as a factory," Auntie asked.
"Auntie, this is my secret. Please don't ask any more questions," Liu Siyi replied with a bitter smile.
"Xiao Yi, don't take it the wrong way, but you're as old as Xiaohao. I don't treat you as an outsider. You should know what you're doing," Auntie said, though the relationship made it hard to say more, she still patiently advised him.
"Okay, Auntie, don't worry. If I really treated you as an outsider, I wouldn't have come today," Liu Siyi nodded and said.
Auntie asked a few more concerned questions, inquiring about Liu Siyi's recent life and some everyday topics, even asking if he had a girlfriend. Just as Liu Siyi was struggling to respond, Uncle Long finally found a target and said, "Xiao Yi, I found a warehouse in the suburbs. It's large enough to meet your needs."
"Okay, thank you, Uncle Long. I'm troubling you and Auntie this time. If you need help in the future, just give me a call," Liu Siyi said sincerely, but someone was not pleased to hear this.
"I want to know what you can help with. It's not just empty words, is it?" For some reason, the beautiful woman always looked at Liu Siyi unfavorably, as if they were sworn enemies.
"Uncle, Auntie, please don't listen to her. I'm not just saying it lightly," Liu Siyi said with a smile, showing his good mental state. He continued, "Long Hao knows my abilities. Since I promised to help, I will definitely do it. Uncle, Auntie, I'll take my leave now. No need to see me off."
"Where did he go? How could he just disappear like that?" The beautiful woman, who had planned to say a few more sarcastic words, watched as a living person vanished right in front of her, leaving her at a loss.
The office fell silent, no one spoke, and the atmosphere became extremely strange.
"Sister, from your conversation, it seems you know Liu Siyi quite well. Why the surprised look?"
"Because I knew him so well before, it makes his change now even more striking."
"Oh? Can you tell me more?"
"What? Do you want to recruit him into your department?"
"Why not? How can you easily give up on such talent?"
"Alright, I'll tell you. Xiao Yi's family background is impeccable. We know his parents, who died in a car accident, leaving him alone. He suffered some mental trauma but recovered before graduating from university. Xiaohao and he are very close, which is why this deal happened. In our understanding, Xiao Yi was just a somewhat introverted ordinary child. But today, his change is truly surprising."
"Yes, I wonder what he has been through. But given his character, I don't think he would do anything out of line. From his abilities, this diamond seems real, but you should have it tested as soon as possible. If it's real, it will be a real problem," Uncle Long agreed, sighing.
"Why would it be a problem if it's real?" The beautiful woman, who had been silent after the shock, suddenly asked, as if the previous shock had completely disappeared.
"Think about it, who can produce such a diamond? And such a large one at that." Uncle Long pondered, "Our country's diamond mines don't produce such large diamonds, and they are all controlled by the state. It's impossible for individuals to possess them, so I think it must have been brought in from abroad. But to do that, it's extremely difficult."
"Alright, I'll leave it at that. I'll get the warehouse sorted out as soon as possible. As for whether you can persuade him to join your department, that's up to you." Uncle Long was decisive, and immediately called to make arrangements.
"People with abilities often have their own personalities. After hearing his story, if I were to approach him directly, I might be turned away. I think it's better to play the emotional card. So, I'll wait for Xiaohao to come back. At most, I'll send two people to keep an eye on him," Uncle Long said, holding his teacup and thinking.
"I wonder how Xiaohao is doing now?"
The sudden disappearance was not due to moving too fast for others to see, but the power of magic.
A third-level spatial magic, the Teleportation Spell, which can transport an object to another place through spatial conversion.
After obtaining the Hero Talent, Liu Siyi could use spatial magic in the real world. Originally, he intended to use this magic to escape, but he didn't expect to use it in this situation.
A bit reluctantly, he emerged from a deserted alley. Liu Siyi didn't plan to immediately enter the Heroes of Might and Magic world to level up, but to thoroughly test his body and see what kind of power he now possessed.
This was his temporary idea, to understand his current physical condition. Previously, he had always been leveling up and felt that he had improved a lot, but without specific numbers, he felt uneasy. However, when it came to it, he realized he didn't know how to properly test his physical abilities. He couldn't ask a coach to witness him punching through a sandbag.
After some thought, he realized that only speed could be measured by himself, but he would need a stopwatch and a place with no people.
In the end, Liu Siyi decided not to think about it anymore and directly entered a large gym that offered sports equipment, showers, and saunas, to buy a barbell.
