"Ahhh!"

Everyone who wore a mocking smile a moment before was so shocked that their eyes nearly popped out of their sockets when they heard Lady Anna speak to Shi Feng. Their jaws nearly hit the floor. They swallowed the ridiculing words they had prepared as their faces turned extraordinarily pale.

Cream Cocoa was similarly shocked by this scene. However, she accepted this news relatively quickly.

_This is too great! I have another chance!_ Cream Cocoa's disappointed expression instantly shifted to excitement as she looked at Shi Feng.

Seeing Lady Anna's humble attitude towards Shi Feng, even going as far as to refer to Shi Feng as "Your Excellency," Cream Cocoa was sure that Shi Feng was no ordinary character. Since such a great character was willing to give her another chance, the flame of hope within her instantly ignited.


On the other hand, Melancholic Smile's current mood was the exact opposite of Cream Cocoa's. At this moment, she looked at Shi Feng with a face filled with astonishment. She then shifted her gaze towards the beautiful Anna. Melancholic Smile discovered reverence in Anna's mesmerizing bright blue eyes as she gazed at Shi Feng. Clearly, Anna was not acting. Moreover, when Anna noticed Melancholic Smile's gaze on her, she glanced at Melancholic Smile, and the reverence in her eyes instantly transformed into rage.

Melancholic Smile immediately panicked.

_It's over... It's over... Why is my luck so terrible? Previously, I got kicked out of the Guild after offending one of its upper echelons. Now, before I have even set foot in the Starstreak Trading Firm, I have offended one of its great characters..._ Melancholic Smile's thoughts were chaotic, and her heart was distraught. She did not know how she should explain herself to Lady Anna to get out of this mess.

Shi Feng couldn't help but smile when he noticed Anna's furious glare and Melancholic Smile's flustered expression.

However, when Melancholic Smile noticed Shi Feng's smile, her delicate body couldn't help but tremble, dread filling her heart.

_It seems that I can no longer stay in the Starstreak Trading Firm_ , Melancholic Smile lamented. If she had known about this beforehand, she would not have attempted to speak out of turn, interrupting Shi Feng's "happy occasion." In the end, she had dug her own grave.

However, Shi Feng's following words shocked Melancholic Smile.

"Anna, don't mind me and continue your evaluations," Shi Feng instructed Anna. He then shifted his sights to Cream Cocoa and Melancholic Smile, softly saying, "I will conduct both of your tests. Everyone else, continue as usual."

"Yes, Your Excellency," Anna respectfully replied.

Compared to a few days ago, Anna's current Loyalty had risen from 50 to 70 points. Although it wasn't a particularly high number, it was passable. At the very least, Anna would not cause him any trouble.


_Do I still have a chance?_ Melancholic Smile never thought Shi Feng would give her another chance. After all, she had spoiled Shi Feng's "happy occasion." Logically speaking, he should have chased her out of Starstreak instead.

Following which, Shi Feng led both Cream Cocoa and Melancholic Smile up to the fourth floor of the building.

"Just who is he?"

"Isn't he too amazing? He had actually made Lady Anna bow before him. If I could achieve a similar feat, I could die without regrets."

Some of the players watched Shi Feng's departing figure with admiration, inwardly guessing Shi Feng's identity.
