Interstellar Era of Gossip

Chapter 31 [Discovering a 'Secret Affair']

Xerxes is going out on a date.

　　Nalun was puzzled: "Hide? He's hiding from you?"

　　Xerxes: "He always disappears suddenly and loses his trace. The next time, he appears from some unknown corner."

　　"Oh, he's just avoiding you."

　　Xerxes leaned back in his chair and fell into a long silence.

　　since people were held responsible for having sex . Xerxes, your attitude is... weird."

　　Xerxes moved his lips.

　　Nalun didn't give him a chance to speak and continued, "I don't believe what's said in the report. Don't try to fool me with reasons like they fell in love at first sight."

　　Xerxes said: "The most unbounded is often the closest to the truth."

　　Nalun secretly rolled his eyes, marveling at someone's ability to lie with his eyes open.

　　Xerxes: "What?"

　　"It seems like what you said is true." Nalun said, "Do you know what the most ridiculous version I've ever heard is?"

　　Xerxes cooperated with a curious look.

　　Nalun curled his lips and smiled: "What happened that night was actually just a... dream of yours."

　　illusion.

　　Xerxes: "..."

　　Nalun: "After all, you were drunk and unconscious, and you didn't see anyone when you woke up the next day. To be honest, as an outsider, I think this guess is very reasonable... Are you really sure that there was someone around you that night?"

　　Xerxes silently looked at the pair of glowing gray-green eyes, not knowing what to say for a moment.

　　Nalun nodded seriously: "Drunk can confuse reality and dreams."

　　Xerxes: "I can't scratch my back."

　　Nalun blinked, not understanding for a moment: "What?"

　　Nalun realized it belatedly and immediately stopped talking. He rolled his eyes downwards and glanced at his hands secretly.

　　The trimmed nails are round and clean, with no trace of dirt in the gaps.

　　He looked at the man sitting in front of him again - Xerxes' expression was extremely calm, as if the person who suddenly revealed the private details just now was not him.

　　Nalun's tone became extremely serious.

　"Don't start talking about...personal matters all of a sudden."

　　Xerxes disagreed: "I just want to tell you that this is not a dream, it is real."

　　Nalun: "Then just tell me directly."

　　Don't bring up such details suddenly!

　　"I thought you would be interested." The temperature in the box was not hot. Xerxes suddenly unbuttoned his suit and said, "Every time I mention this, you get very excited."

　　Nalun casually said, "It's the hottest topic of the year. It's human nature to be curious."

　　Xerxes smiled and did not refute this statement.

　　"It's not good for us to do this."

　　In the hall, two of Xerxes' loyal subordinates were holding drink menus and having a cautious conversation together.

　　"I can't see it at all, we have to get closer!" Dia waved his hand, signaling his companions to go forward.

　　Andre stood still like a mountain.

　　After seeing Prince Sharvi walk into the coffee shop, they got out of the car and went in one after another. They happened to see Nalun enter a private room. He stopped for a moment when standing at the door, as if he was communicating with the people inside.

　　There is someone inside.

　　As for who it was? The two looked at each other, and saw horror in each other's eyes.

　　After finally finishing their work and rushing back to the imperial capital, their boss, Marshal Sers, left everyone in a hurry and left alone. The next day, they came to him because of the nature of their work, but were told that -

　　Xerxes is going out on a date.

　　"What should we do if it's Xerxes in there?"

　　Dia looked deeply worried.

　　Andre looked at him and said, "Maybe it's just a coincidence."

　　Dia looked at the box where Nalun entered: "He has been in there for more than ten minutes."

　　Andre thought about it and whispered in his ear.

　　Dia's eyes lit up: "Okay, I'll go right away!"

　　Andre nodded seriously and watched his friend go away. Then he took out the terminal beside him and implemented his plan together.

　　A few minutes later, he saw his usually unruly colleague floating back to his seat in a daze.

　　"I heard it." Dia said sadly, "The voice coming from the partition is very familiar! They are indeed together."

　　Andre was also silent: "..."

　　First let Dia approach the partition of the box, and then he will send a communication request. Generally speaking, Xerxes would not turn to silent mode for no reason, and this noise is enough to prove whether he is the person Nalun is going to meet.

　　The results are before us.

　　Their boss is suspected of developing a secret affair with their rival, and is now secretly meeting with him in a cafe on an unknown street without telling anyone.

　　Andre was still rational: "The Marshal did not deliberately conceal his whereabouts, otherwise we would not have followed him so easily. As for Prince Charvet... we cannot rule out the possibility that he was just an accidental encounter like us."

　　Dia said quietly, "Then go in and try to 'encounter' Xerxes by chance, and see if he will be willing to have a friendly conversation with you for more than ten minutes."

　　Andrea surrendered immediately.

　　"There is something fishy going on."

　　"What's the trick?"

　　A powerful voice forcefully interrupted the conversation between the two.

　　Dia looked up and found that there was a shadow covering his head.

　　A tall stranger was standing behind the two of them, looking at them blatantly with his eyes.
