Chapter 360 Chloe's Sophistry
Lana's birthday went as planned, except for some problems with Pete and others, but they were quickly resolved by Clark who completely let go of himself, and did not affect the subsequent progress at all.
Now it’s time to give gifts.
Among all the gifts, Lin Jue's gift was the most eye-catching... a pink convertible sports car. Although it might seem a little far-fetched to Lin Jue, it was undoubtedly the best gift for Lana at her age.
Seeing Lana's excitement, Clark, who was standing on the other side, took out his gift somewhat awkwardly at Lex's urging. Lana accepted it with a smile, which made Clark feel a little better.
In response to this, Lin Jue remained silent. To be honest, Clark was a kind person, and his method was also to help him escape from his suffering as soon as possible. After all, it was impossible for the two of them to be together in their original destiny.
Soon, as Lana's birthday dinner ended, Lin Jue, who had returned, appeared in Lana's room. The two had a battle that lasted until the early morning. Only when Lana fell asleep did Lin Jue suddenly open his eyes, his figure flashed, and the whole person suddenly disappeared.
It appeared again at an altitude of nearly 1,000 meters.
With his eyes slightly narrowed, Lin Jue looked towards the direction of the Eternal Night Factory. He felt the fluctuations of the spiritual connection from the vampires.
"Is someone targeting my factory?"
With a flash of his figure, Lin Jue suddenly appeared above the factory, and then he fell straight down and soon came to a dark underground cave.
A blood descendant who had been waiting nearby rushed out from the woods.
"Ancestor, someone sneaked into our mining base!"
His eyes fixed, stopping the blood descendant from speaking next, Lin Jue stared straight into the dark cave. The endless darkness seemed to suddenly dissipate like a smoke screen, and the situation inside the cave was clearly visible.
Looking to the end, there was no one in sight. Lin Jue suddenly disappeared from the spot. This time he appeared at the corner of the cave entrance. Looking at the underground tunnels that extended in all directions, his figure quickly shuttled through them.
The powerful mental perception seemed to be suppressed by some special force. Lin Jue speculated that it might be affected by the kryptonite, but this could only cause slight confusion. Soon, he still sensed the other party's figure.
……
An unmined kryptonite mine. The kryptonite emitting a faint green glow illuminates the dim cave. Kryptonite in its normal form does not glow, so it is obvious that someone is shining light on it.
Chloe was tiptoeing to a mine that was being mined, and with one hand she was trying hard to pull out the kryptonite that came into view. However, no matter how hard she tried, she could not pull it out.
Looking at the stone pickaxe discarded aside, Chloe glanced behind her with a guilty conscience. It was dark and quiet, and no one seemed to notice the movement here. She turned on the flashlight, and the pale light penetrated the darkness and shone on the stone wall opposite.
After confirming again and again that no one was paying attention here, Chloe bravely grabbed the pickaxe and smashed it up decisively.
Pong!
The sound of metal collision resounded throughout the dark cave, and it happened several times, until his hands became numb, and only then did he stop.
She looked at the kryptonite that had rolled to the ground with delight, shining with a green light under the flashlight.
Instead of taking it directly, she carefully pulled out a cloth bag from her arms, wrapped the kryptonite in it, and then stuffed it into her arms.
After getting the things, Chloe breathed a sigh of relief and prepared to turn around and go back.
The way back was still quiet and lonely, as if the noise she had just made had not attracted anyone's attention.
But this was also within Chloe's expectations. When she quietly went to the mine, she looked around specially. The workers had already gone home to rest, and even the security guards of the Eternal Night Company were nowhere to be seen.
Feeling the stone in her arms, Chloe felt relieved. She was studying why the department brought changes to the human body, so she wanted to get some kryptonite. The kryptonite at the scene of the incident had been packed away by the people of Evernight Company, and it was difficult for her to find such a stone. For this reason, she had to turn to Evernight Company.
Fortunately, hard work pays off!
Chloe tiptoed through the dark cave, not daring to turn on the searchlight casually, for she was worried that the patrolling security personnel would notice the light at the mine entrance.
As time passed, she soon appeared at the cave entrance again. However, when she excitedly came out of the cave, she was stunned on the spot.
Looking at the Evernight Security surrounding her and the black muzzles of their guns, she raised her hands in panic.
"I'm sorry, I just came to see how your mining is going..."
The sophistry was powerless, and everything became a foregone conclusion after a blood descendant stepped forward and took out the kryptonite from Chloe's arms.
Chloe looked at the security guard who led him towards the Evernight Company headquarters without saying a word, and a strange look flashed in her eyes.
She was not panicked or afraid, but was observing every move of Eternal Night Security.
How do these guys communicate?
They clearly didn't say anything, but their every move was so uncoordinated. These people are really weird!
Chloe was very smart, and she immediately noticed the strange tacit understanding between the blood descendants.
This is because most of these bloodlines belong to the same branch, and some of them are even descendants of previous generations. They have a subtle sense of information sharing with each other. Of course, Chloe is not aware of this.
Soon, when Chloe was sitting in the conference room of the Eternal Night residence and looking at the empty conference room, Faso, who was specially arranged by Lin Jue, walked in aggressively.
"Kid! Who allowed you to do this? Did you know that the meteorite mining project in Smallville has been fully purchased by our Evernight Company?"
Faso spoke directly to the point, looking seriously at the blonde girl who looked nervous, and his voice was ups and downs, with a subtle sense of oppression.
"I... I'm just curious about meteorites. I don't believe that you haven't discovered the magical effects of this meteorite. Your purchasing rights are inherently unfair!"
Chloe's eyes darted around quickly, and she soon thought of a counterattack.
"Magical effect? Apart from its rare collection value, I don't know what you are talking about!"
Faso narrowed his eyes, his expression calm and righteous.
Chloe happened to be observing his changes in expression, and seeing that she couldn't see anything, Chloe didn't give up.
"Before, a mineral company came to our town to check the meteorites, but they lost interest when they saw the large number of them. Collection value? I don't believe you didn't investigate these before coming here!"
"..."
Outside the meeting room, Lin Jue's mouth twitched.
