The Guide to the End of the World: Four Sentinels Compete for Favor

"Beep--" the instrument connected to the capsule chamber issued a long warning sound, the blue liquid in the transparent hose quickly flowed back, the chamber cover was retracted from the middle to the front and back, and a tall man, half-naked upper body, sat up from the capsule chamber.

Pei Junlin then let go of Ai Wanxin and turned around.

He calmly blocked Ai Wanxin behind him, but Ai Wanxin still saw the appearance of the man in the capsule from over his shoulder.

The man had light blond hair, deep and three-dimensional features, and a pair of light grey eyes that scanned everyone without any warmth.

The blue liquid slid down his tall hooked nose and smooth cheeks. His tight skin made him look no more than twenty years old, but the heavy traces of time in his eyes told Ai Wanxin that he could not be younger than Pei Junlin.

Besides, Yin Yanhan just said that they came to see the Duke, Pei Hongshou, Pei Junlin's father.

Besides him, there was no other living person in the room.

Ai Wanxin thought of Atlas, who had the same skin condition as him and looked very different from his age. Could it be...

Her eyes fell on the light blue liquid dripping from the tips of Pei Hongshou's hair. Is this some special nutrient solution that can maintain the skin?

"Junlin, who are they?" Pei Hongshou's voice was low and hoarse, with a strong sense of fatigue.

"It's my friend, father." Pei Junlin replied.

"Let them go." Pei Hongshou closed his eyes in annoyance. He stretched out his strong arm from the capsule and grasped the thin right hand of the blonde woman, blocking her nails which were sharper than before. "Your mother doesn't like to see strangers."

Ai Wanxin noticed that on his wrist, there was a solitary snake-shaped bracelet inlaid with red gemstones, which looked very much like the one that Atlas' holographic projection had worn in Xue Muqing's memory.

Pei Junlin beside him turned his head and said softly, "Baby, let's talk outside."

Ai Wanxin nodded. She was originally looking for only Pei Junlin.

Now that he saw his father rejuvenate and his mother come back to life but act like a living dead, one can imagine how painful and conflicted Pei Junlin was. Naturally, Ai Wanxin was very responsive to him at this time.

"Baby?" Pei Hongshou raised his eyelids, his cold eyes locked onto Ai Wanxin accurately, and he said slowly, "I thought it was simple. Junlin just came back to us. What kind of friend can find this place?"

"Besides." He glanced at Yin Yanhan, "Arthur, the adopted son with his eyes on the top of his head and a rebellious nature, is also with you."

Pei Hongshou said in a deep voice: "Little girl, if I'm not mistaken, you shouldn't look like this."

It has to be said that the actual controller of the international shipping giant, Gujing Group, is indeed very perceptive.

Ai Wanxin's brain worked at high speed, quickly organizing the information about Pei Hongshou.

Sheng Xiuming once said that he used to work in an investment company under the Pei Hongshou Group. During the last election, he joined Feng Jingyi's campaign team and became one of Feng Jingyi's economic advisers.

Part of the political donations Feng Jingyi raised for his campaign came from the shipping industry.

This shows that Pei Hongshou also played a role in sending Feng Jingyi to the Bingqiao official residence.

Sheng Xiuming also said that in addition to maritime cargo shipping, port construction, port terminal management and other businesses, the Gujing Group is also involved in the field of oil exploration and production. What he meant was that Pei Hongshou and Thunder Bay's richest man Arthur Friedrich, also known as Atlas, have a close relationship.

These world-class oligarchs have long been unwilling to influence their own country's policies. Before the end of the world, they were committed to building a new global control system.

They once united together to send Feng Jingyi to the position of Speaker, and perhaps their goals are still the same now. Atlas believes that Feng Jingyi is a good choice to become a puppet of the head of the Earth Alliance, and it is very likely that Pei Hongshou also agrees with this view.

Now Pei Hongshou recognized her, but Atlas did not know her identity. In Atlas' eyes, she was still Marshal Schnatter's secret envoy.

She used the excuse that Speaker Hans and the Federal Parliament wanted to cross the river and burn the bridge, leaving the Earth to the devil, to keep Atlas on her side.

However, a considerable part of all of this was based on the premise that Atlas thought that Brother Han did not know him. If he knew his true identity, then all the words he had used to deceive him would no longer work.

Although Feng Jingyi has been controlled by her, the matter of the Earth Alliance government has not been resolved, those students have not been rescued, and the situation of the demons has not been figured out.

If Atlas knew that she had deceived him, she would definitely ask Schnatter for the truth. She left a lot of video footage in Yan Country. When Schnatter saw that Ludwig's fleet had not arrived yet, it would be difficult for her to deal with it.

Ai Wanxin quickly made up her mind: her identity could not be exposed for the time being, and she had to find a way to separate Pei Hongshou and Atlas.

Ai Wanxin walked out from behind Pei Junlin. She smiled and said, "Since you know who I am, you should be able to guess why I came here."

Seeing Pei Hongshou's gaze turn to Pei Junlin, Ai Wanxin shook her head and added: "It's not the reason for coming to this ship, but the reason for coming to Atlantis."

Pei Hongshou frowned slightly, because Ai Wanxin took a step closer, and he clearly felt Evelin's hand in his palm trembling slightly, not knowing whether it was because of fear or excitement.

He thought for a moment and said, "It seems that this matter will take a while to finish. Let me change my clothes first. I am not used to talking to my future daughter-in-law like this."

The door of the room closed, isolating the sight and sound of both parties. Pei Junlin whispered: "Baby, what do you want to say to him? He is not easy to deceive."

Ai Wanxin patted Pei Junlin's hand and found that his hand was terribly cold, so she held Pei Junlin's hand with both hands, urged her mental power to warm him up, and whispered: "I never lie, little brother Pei, don't worry."

Jon, who had witnessed how Ai Wanxin had deceived himself, Schnatter, Ludwig, and Atlas, said: "..."

After a while, Pei Hongshou changed into a fitted shirt and trousers and walked out of the room alone. The cabin door closed behind him, blocking Evelin's cold gaze.

"Alright." Pei Hongshou took a deep breath and said, "Little girl who made my son willing to be with you even if he has no status, now you can tell me the real reason why you came to Atlantis."
