Soon, a large group of people, braving the wind and snow, approached the place where Ling Ke was located.
Against the wind and snow, Hiluwa rushed to Ling Ke upon spotting her, embracing her tightly.
“It’s great, Ling Ke, you’re okay…”
Jeppard and the Silver Mane Iron Guards who followed close behind also reached the campsite.
“Little sister, it’s good you’re fine…”
Seeing Ling Ke safe and sound, the worry in Jeppard’s heart finally subsided.
Then, Jeppard noticed a remarkably handsome man standing nearby.
Lo Chen’s presence was impossible to ignore. After confirming Ling Ke’s safety, Jeppard turned his attention to Lo Chen.
“Ling Ke, who is this gentleman?”
Jeppard asked Ling Ke with a hint of suspicion in his eyes.
Of course, Jeppard knew Ling Ke, Pela, and himself in the campsite.
But this stranger, Jeppard had never seen him before.
Seeing a stranger with his little sister and Pela, it was inevitable that Jeppard would feel wary.
“Brother, you don’t have to be so cautious. I asked Pela sister to go camping, and it was Lo Chen’s men who saved us.
If it weren’t for them, Pela sister and I might have really been in danger.”
Ling Ke said to Jeppard with a serious expression. Pela nodded in agreement beside her.
Seeing their attitude, Jeppard understood that he might have misunderstood. He then bowed slightly, expressing his sincere gratitude to Lo Chen:
“I apologize, Mr. Lo Chen. It was my mistake. My sister and my subordinates have troubled you…”
“It’s alright, I actually quite like them…”
Lo Chen said with a smile.
Hearing Lo Chen’s words, Pela and Ling Ke both blushed slightly.
However, luckily, under such cold weather, blushing was normal. Ling Ke and Pela both pretended as if nothing had happened.
But their actions were enough to show that they were not as calm as they appeared…
Hearing Lo Chen’s reply, Jeppard also smiled and invited Lo Chen:
“Mr. Lo Chen’s subordinates saved Ling Ke and Pela. That means you are a benefactor of our Langdao family.
If you wouldn’t mind, we would like to invite you to a banquet to thank you personally.”
Jeppard said with a serious expression.
As the Fifth Guard Officer of the Silver Mane Iron Guards and the future head of the Langdao family, Jeppard’s words were undeniably weighty.
If it were an ordinary person in Beloborg, they would definitely have readily accepted the invitation.
After all, being able to get acquainted with a big figure like the Langdao family would be considered a remarkable achievement in Beloborg.
However, Lo Chen didn’t care about these things.
“I’ll pass on the banquet, but a diplomatic meeting is acceptable.”
Lo Chen said with a smile.
Then, Lo Chen didn’t bother explaining further. He casually opened a space portal, picked up a Super Nono from his dimensional space, and threw it to Jeppard.
Jeppard’s pupils dilated slightly as he observed Lo Chen’s casual act of ripping through space.
Next, he caught the spherical machine Lo Chen had thrown to him.
Then, Jeppard saw the machine in his hand slowly rise.
A spherical object flew into the air, a data screen appeared with eyes, and four blue horizontal bars resembling small wings sprouted behind it.
Jeppard looked at this obviously non-Beloborg technological creation in astonishment.
Before he could fully recover from his surprise, the Super Nono began to play information about the Sekai-ho in front of him…
When all the relevant information had been played, the Super Nono returned to his hand, and Jeppard had a general understanding of Lo Chen’s identity.
“I understand the general situation. Mr. Lo Chen, you can stay in Beloborg with me first.
I will immediately inform the Grand Guardian to initiate the formal diplomatic process.”
After fully understanding Lo Chen’s identity, Jeppard said with utmost seriousness.
In a way, Lo Chen’s status was equivalent to a foreign monarch.
Although Beloborg hadn’t experienced diplomacy in hundreds of years, Jeppard didn’t want to make the visitor feel looked down upon.
Not to mention, if the negotiation goes well, perhaps Beloborg and Sekai-ho can achieve a win-win situation…
“Staying in Beloborg for a night is unnecessary…”
Lo Chen waved his hand.
His wife wasn’t here, so what was the point of sleeping in Beloborg…
“Tomorrow at this time, we’ll meet here again.
You can go back and report to your Grand Guardian first. Follow your procedures then.”
Lo Chen wasn’t particularly familiar with diplomacy either.
But he understood the principle of adapting to local customs.
Based on Lo Chen’s estimation, Cocolia should not have been completely influenced by the Star Core yet.
Or perhaps she still retained a glimmer of consciousness, not completely succumbing to the Star Core’s puppetry.
Under such circumstances, Lo Chen couldn’t be sure what decision Cocolia would make.
However, no matter what, as long as Lo Chen could contact Cocolia, he would have the ability to sever the connection between the Star Core and Cocolia.
Regarding Cocolia, although many players in his previous life thought this character deserved her fate, Lo Chen didn’t have any particular liking or disliking for her.
But Lo Chen’s final attitude would depend on Cocolia’s subsequent decisions.
If Cocolia was still conscious and willing to seek this chance, Lo Chen wouldn’t hesitate to lend a hand.
If Cocolia was stubborn, then she shouldn’t blame Lo Chen for forcing his way in.
After all, Lo Chen wouldn’t let go of such a valuable place like Beloborg.
After all, he also bore the responsibility of carrying on the legacy of the Earth human race in the Sekai world…
Speaking of which, Cocolia’s figure and appearance weren’t bad either. Although she couldn’t be a wife, she was good enough to be a lover…
Lo Chen realized his thoughts were getting out of control, shook his head, and dispelled the chaos in his mind.
“Tomorrow at this time?”
Jeppard glanced at his pocket watch. The time was currently 2 pm.
Then, Jeppard nodded.
“Alright, then, Mr. Lo Chen, we’ll meet officially here tomorrow…”
“Mhm.”
Lo Chen also nodded.
“Then, I’ll give this small machine back to you.”
Jeppard handed the Super Nono in his hand back to Lo Chen, but Lo Chen waved his hand.
“No need, just keep it. Or you can also give this thing to your Grand Guardian. After she sees the information, she should make a decision…”
“Then, Mr. Lo Chen, thank you…”
Jeppard didn’t decline this offer.
After all, no amount of words could be more convincing than a piece of real evidence.
If he could bring this small gadget back to the Grand Guardian, she would definitely place more importance on this diplomatic exchange.
