Trillionaire's Slice of Life

Looking at the adorable Zhou Yuanyuan in front of him, if it weren't for the pressing matters at hand, Chu Mo would certainly have felt a great sense of accomplishment, perhaps even impulsively whisking her away to the upstairs guest room.

After all, the icy beauty in front of him, with a beauty score of ninety-eight, once the object of his daily thoughts as the goddess, and also the campus belle of University of Science and Technology—a junior named Zhou Yuanyuan—exuded a charm that captivated people and made them yearn for more.

However, unfortunately, the circumstances were special now. With over a hundred top-tier tycoons in need of his hospitality and an issue with the number one experimental subject at the Longevity Club, plus today being a tremendously important day for the Longevity Club, it was impossible for Chu Mo to just follow his impulses.

He first lightly helped the girl beside him straighten her sleek long hair. Seeing her still slightly shy but with a hint of unusual tenderness in her eyes, Chu Mo stepped closer and whispered,

"Yuan Yuan, you're really beautiful."

Given Chu Mo's personality, he never indulged in clichéd romantic banter. Whether facing Hua Country's wealthiest woman, Liu Manli, or the world's number one jewelry queen, Princess Mina, or even the various spokesmodels nearby or the youthful-looking Tao Yun, Chu Mo never took the initiative to speak sweet nothings. His relations with the women around him were more a matter of natural progression, devoid of excessive flattery or honeyed words.

Now, for Chu Mo to tell Zhou Yuanyuan she's beautiful was enough to illustrate the special place this girl held in his heart.

Amid Zhou Yuanyuan's extreme shyness and delight, the surrounding top bosses kept glancing at Chu Mo and her, letting time slip by. Everyone assumed Chu Mo was flirting with a beautiful girl, and nobody suspected anything else, nor did anyone have the indecency to come up and interrupt.

Yet even so, Chu Mo's heart was still filled with helplessness and anxiety.

The severity of Elder Situ's illness remained uncertain; Chu Mo could delay for a moment, but he couldn't keep stalling indefinitely—too long a delay would inevitably arouse suspicion.

And at this moment, Chu Mo's gaze suddenly fixed on a small figure in the corner opposite him.

Following Chu Mo's eyes, Qin Lan, possessing the strength of a mid-level Great Grandmaster, also cast her gaze over.

Chu Mo looked at the little girl opposite him who appeared to be eight or nine years old, but possessed the power of a mid-level Great Grandmaster, and was reminded of Elder Situ's first time taking the Longevity Pill. There had been a problem with the first Longevity Pill too, and Elder Situ had even lost vital signs. Later, it was confirmed that Grandmaster Qin Lan had expended her own Origin Power to pull Elder Situ back from death's door.

Although Chu Mo knew that Qin Lan might not be able to help this time, as the saying goes, in an emergency, one grabs whatever help is available. With the mindset that trying wouldn't do any harm even if it was futile, Chu Mo still gestured for the little girl to come over.

Despite her dissatisfied expression, prompted by Chu Mo's solemn look, Qin Lan, dressed cute as a doll, reluctantly approached.

At this time, Chu Mo noticed that as Qin Lan walked towards him, many in the hall turned their eyes toward this small figure.

Among them were three top experts from the Rothschild family leader's entourage, a black elder from behind the Saudi King, a white elder from Prince Ross's company, and even a couple of half-blind seniors.

Without a doubt, these people paying attention to Qin Lan's figure meant only one thing: they had recognized the terrifying nature of Qin Lan. It also proved, therefore, that these few individuals were undoubtedly Great Grandmasters.

Of course, these were just the ones Chu Mo was particularly aware of. As for others, perhaps their movements were too concealed for Chu Mo to notice, but conservatively estimated, in this not-so-large VIP hall, including Qin Lan and Lei Ting by Chu Mo's side, there would likely be at least ten or more martial arts Great Grandmasters.

As to whether among them, Qin Lan was the most powerful mid-level Great Grandmaster, Chu Mo had no way of knowing, but thought it unlikely.

Setting aside everything else, like the Ross family, with a centuries-old legacy and control of the foundational might of the entire country, having an upper-level Great Grandmaster by their side wouldn't surprise Chu Mo at all. In fact, even if there were a legendary, deity-level expert hidden here, Chu Mo wouldn't find it too hard to accept.

After all, the top-tier tycoons and powers gathered here almost included a significant portion of the world's forces.

Qin Lan, looking like an eight- or nine-year-old doll on the surface, came to Chu Mo's side with reluctance. She casually glanced at Zhou Yuanyuan by Chu Mo's side. Though Qin Lan did not exert any power, the innocent-looking yet vast wisdom and extensive life experience in her eyes made Zhou Yuanyuan instantly tense up. She felt as if she were fixed in place by a venomous snake, and dared not so much as move a fraction.

Chu Mo paid no mind to Zhou Yuanyuan's reaction; he simply said softly:
