Death Game: Starting as a fraudster, pretending to be a god.

Chapter 495: Winning over and respecting

Faced with Lin Yu's direct questioning, the man in the steam let out a deep laugh.

"Haha, Forboluo, you really know how to joke..."

"Although we have only met twice, how could you possibly forget me, 'Never-Night Sky Fire Tree'!"

As the man spoke, he walked towards Lin Yu with water flowing through his body.

“Clatter, clatter…”

The water vapor slowly parted to the sides as the man walked, revealing a body that was as perfect as a sculpture, carved with a knife and an axe.

If an art student were to see this, his eyes would surely light up - the clear muscle lines and skin texture, as well as the falling water droplets, are simply perfect creative materials.

Unfortunately, although Lin Yu studied art, he was in the performing arts field and had no knowledge of fine arts.

Therefore, the almost perfect body of the man in front of him had no appeal to Lin Yu.

For Lin Yu, what is more worthy of attention is the other party's self-proclaimed...

"Never-night Fire Tree."

Fortunately, thanks to the information he had obtained from Paris before, Lin Yu was not completely unfamiliar with this name.

Judging from the name, he should be another "heir" of the Buyetian family and the main competitor of Buyetian Huo Le and Fu Luo Kaoshan.

Judging from the fact that the other party mentioned that he had only met Fu Luo "twice"...

"Fu Luo and this guy should not be familiar with each other."

While Lin Yu was thinking, the Nevernight Fire Tree had already stepped out from the edge of the hot spring pool and stood about two meters in front of Lin Yu.

Lin Yu saw the other person's face clearly. He was a handsome man with good looks.

His black, wet hair hung down on the sides of his face, he had thin lips, a high nose, and upturned eyes, giving him a dashing look.

Most importantly, his eyes were a fiery red, like leaping flames.

Lin Yu looked at the other person and spoke calmly and distantly.

"Respected Lord Huoshu of the Nevernight Sky, the fog was so thick just now that I couldn't see clearly that it was you..."

"But what were you doing holding your breath in the middle of the pool?"

The Nightless Sky Fire Tree raised his chin and said, "I'm not doing this for fun, nor to scare you. I didn't know you were coming to visit me."

"Soaking my whole body in the hot spring can help me quickly relieve fatigue and forget my worries..."

He looked up at the sky and said sadly, "Even if a commoner like you could glimpse a corner of our lives, you would never understand the heavy fate that I, born into a noble family, bear. I really envy you for being able to live a carefree and unburdened life."

Lin Yu looked at the Nevernight Fire Tree and couldn't help but think of the prince who had announced the C-77 commission over the phone before.

"Are all the princes and nobles crazy?"

It takes twelve people to serve as a bathing assistant, and a hot spring bathing pool is almost bigger than two apartments of ordinary people in the outer city combined. Yet they have the audacity to say that ordinary people have "easy and burden-free life".

After being sent to a small workshop in the outer city to work illegally for two days, he became obedient.

Of course, Lin Yu didn't express these complaints directly.

"You're certainly under a lot of pressure. This way of relieving stress is something a commoner like me wouldn't have thought of..."

Lin Yu spoke in Fu Luo's manner with a hint of sarcasm.

Then, before Buyetian Huoshu could react, Lin Yu changed the subject.

"So, what is it that you called me for, sir?"

Nevernight Fire Tree snorted softly and said, "Oh, don't play dumb with me, Forboluo."

"Of course I'm looking for you because of what happened last time!"

What happened last time?

Lin Yuke didn't know what Fu Luo and Buye Tianhuoshu talked about last time.

But to deal with this situation, Lin Yu has a universal answer.

He looked calm and composed, as if he was lost in thought.

After a moment, Lin Yu said firmly: "My answer is the same as last time."

Hearing Lin Yu's words, the Nevernight Fire Tree narrowed its eyes.

"Really? Then you rejected me again..."

"I really don't understand why you would follow Buyetian Huole so wholeheartedly—anyone with a discerning eye knows that I, Buyetian Huoshu, am here to succeed the Buyetian family!"

"Besides the company and the family, the Mercury Family, the Qiu Family, and the Sorens Family all support my succession!"

"Within the company, seven of the nine board seats clearly support me; the twelve independent laboratories and eight major company departments are also on my side!"

"Within the family, I'm my father's favorite son, and also the oldest. The old patriarch even specifically requested to see me after he regained consciousness... My uncles and great-uncles also think that my business acumen is unparalleled."

"To put it bluntly, Nevernight Huo Le is just a pathetic grindstone. Because our brothers are useless, we have her here to sharpen me."

"As the most famous and intelligent person in the City That Never Sleeps, you didn't choose my side... I'm really confused."

Nevernight Fire Tree continued to speak, finally whispering, "Forboluo, Forboluo—if you stand by me, you will become my most capable right-hand man. I will make you the president, chairman, and chief researcher of Truth Company. By then, the entire Nevernight City will be at our feet."

After hearing the words of the Nevernight Fire Tree, Lin Yu couldn't help but feel puzzled.

"Fu Luo, what on earth did you do in the City That Never Sleeps that you are so popular among these two nobles?"

But judging from President Paris’ previous comments... Fu Luo’s reputation shouldn’t be very good either.

This is too contradictory - what exactly makes Buyetian Huoshu and Buyetian Huole value Fu Luo so much, to the extent that Fu Luo has a status that even President Paris has to respect, but their evaluation of him is still negative?

However, now facing the Nevernight Fire Tree, Lin Yuke did not have the energy to investigate what Fu Luo had done.

He could only respond according to the available information and make a reply in Fu Luo's style.

It was known that Fu Luo had also rejected the Nevernight Fire Tree last time, so Lin Yu's answer was much bolder.

He straightened his hat and said with some hesitation, "Young Master Huoshu... Well, how should I put it? Your conditions are indeed favorable, and you do have advantages, but as for me, I don't want to get involved in who will succeed you or Miss Huo Le..."

Lin Yu said, then scratched his nose: "I was just taking advantage of others - Miss Huo Le came first and treated me well. Now that I have changed my allegiance, I always feel a little sorry for Miss Huo Le..."

After hearing Lin Yu's answer, the Night Sky Fire Tree frowned and said, "I don't understand what the Night Sky Fire Music gave you that allowed you to reject me so many times!"

Lin Yu smiled.

He doesn’t know either!

God knows what benefits Buyetian Huo Le gave to Fu Luo, and Lin Yu has never received any of them.

However, there is still a safe answer to this question.

"Respect, respected Lord Huoshu, Miss Huo Le from Nevernight is showing respect to a commoner like me."

In Lin Yu's opinion, even President Paris was a little afraid of Fu Luo, so Fu Luo must have a very high status in Buyetian Huo Le.

When Nevernight Fire Tree heard what Lin Yu said, a strange expression appeared on his face.

"Well, respect... If you call that 'respect', then it is indeed something that only Nevernight Huo Le can give you."

He seemed to have suddenly given up something, walked around Lin Yu, picked up the towel and began to wipe his body.

"Go find her, Forbolo."

"But...even so, I won't regard you as an enemy."

"Whenever you figure it out, you can always come to me!"
