71 Stage 71: Brokeback

Lixin offered an apologetic smile, trying to maintain his patience despite the man's attitude. "I'm sorry to bother you, but I need to speak to Mr. Press."

"For what?" the magenta-haired man replied with an air of superiority.

"Can you tell him that Mr. Earhart sent me?" Lixin said, his tone now laced with frustration due to the man's dismissive attitude.

The moment those words left his lips, the magenta-haired man underwent a complete transformation. His haughty expression shifted, replaced by surprise and reverence.

"My master sent you?" he asked. His demeanor was now entirely different.

Realizing that this was Gregory Press, Lixin nodded, confirming Mr. Press's question.

"Come this way," Mr. Press said, gesturing for them to follow him.

Exchanging puzzled glances at the sudden change in attitude, Lixin and Zeyu followed him through the opulent interior of Silken Envy.
