Ocean Lords: Start Harvesting Double from Dice Rolls Chapter 679 - 338: An Unexpected Reunion (Part 3)

With the passage of each second, time marched onward. In what felt like the blink of an eye, twenty minutes had elapsed.

Mr. Wang, unable to contain his impatience any longer, checked his watch. He was on the verge of turning away to attend the exchange event, determined that no amount of staring would deter him from meeting his idol.

However, just as Wang Yuanwei initiated his movement, he abruptly stopped.

"Huh?"

A jolt of surprise coursed through Wang Yuanwei. In that instant, he found himself completely unable to sense the presence of those individuals; it was as if they had simply evaporated into thin air.

What could be happening?

He instinctively glanced over his shoulder, his confusion deepening.

Those people were unmistakably still there, yet their entire presence had suddenly vanished...

Wait!

A sudden realization dawned upon Wang Yuanwei: "Could it be that these individuals have spotted their target and hastily activated a cloaking state?"

Snapping back to the present, Wang Yuanwei's gaze immediately shifted towards Sky Dome Technology.

He witnessed Fang Yu exiting the front doors of Sky Dome Technology, having just finalized the purchase contract and now heading towards the next Essence Feast. Mr. Wang's eyes widened in astonishment.

Their target is my brother, Fang Yu?

At that profound moment, all thoughts of any exchange event or idol vanished from Mr. Wang's mind. A surge of concern for Fang Yu's safety washed over him, and his immediate instinct was to call Fang Yu and issue a warning.

But then, hesitation flickered across Wang Yuanwei's face.

"If I attempt to warn Brother Fang Yu now, it might inadvertently tip off these followers," he mused.

"These people are merely pawns, not the masterminds. If I alert them unnecessarily and they choose to silence themselves permanently, wouldn't that sever the trail?"

"The core issue remains unresolved, and afterward, my brother Fang Yu would still be under surveillance."

"No, no..."

Wang Yuanwei pondered his next move. Making a decision, he concealed himself, waiting until those individuals had rounded a distant street corner. Only then did he reappear and stealthily begin to follow them.

...

"I never expected it to go so remarkably smoothly," Fang Yu remarked to himself.

As he strolled along the street, Fang Yu casually checked his panel space.

Within the panel space lay the contract he had just signed with the CEO of Sky Dome Technology.

Fang Yu had been escorted by a representative to the CEO's office, where he subsequently met the head of Sky Dome Technology.

The CEO of Sky Dome Technology appeared acutely aware of the prevailing circumstances on the South Island Continent. Upon meeting Fang Yu, without any preamble, he promptly signed the contract for the supply of war equipment.

In reality, Sky Dome Technology had always maintained close ties with the military interests of the South Island Continent; without the South Island's military infrastructure, Sky Dome Technology would not exist.

Consequently, Sky Dome Technology approached such matters with proactive enthusiasm.

This facilitated Fang Yu's ability to sign the contract with remarkable ease and efficiency.

Indeed, during the twenty minutes spent inside, he primarily engaged in polite conversation and small talk with the CEO of Sky Dome Technology; the contract itself was finalized within a mere minute.

Holding the newly signed contract from Sky Dome Technology, Fang Yu felt a surge of exhilaration.

Signing this contract had been far less taxing than anticipated. It seemed the task assigned by his elder could be accomplished today.

He anticipated receiving another wave of rewards from his elder, and perhaps even obtaining the final "Immortal" Ocean Scripture.

Feeling a sense of contentment, Fang Yu instinctively surveyed both sides of the street.

Along the sides of the road, Blue Star Navigators could be seen discreetly casting glances his way.

As his gaze swept over these Blue Star Navigators, their expressions shifted to one of slight awkwardness. They then addressed Fang Yu with apologies:

"Brother Fang Yu, please don't misunderstand. We aren't spies dispatched by any federation; we simply heard you were in Nanhui City and decided to come see what was happening."

Upon hearing the roadside Blue Star Navigators, Fang Yu blinked in slight surprise. Detecting no ill intent from these individuals, he offered a small nod:

"It's quite alright. You all don't need to crowd around me; I'm just an ordinary Blue Star Captain."

Hearing Fang Yu's words, the onlookers exchanged glances, appearing surprised by his approachable demeanor.

Some of the more courageous individuals even stepped closer, hoping to capture a photograph with Fang Yu.

Facing those who approached, Fang Yu felt a mixture of amusement and exasperation.

It appeared he had somehow... inexplicably gained fans among the general navigator community...

He shook his head, content with how smoothly things had progressed. Without refusal, he obliged and posed for a few pictures with some of the Blue Star Navigators.
