Chapter 501 - 8.101 Abstaining Werewolves*
Only a handful of people paid attention when Lu Yizhou and Ellen entered, one of them was Olivia. At first, she only swept them a glance. However, it was unknown what she had seen as she whipped her head around once again and stared at Lu Yizhou’s back for a second too long, her brows furrowing.
Ji Yan was still engaged in the passionate argument with the beer-bellied middle aged man who looked more and more purple by each second.
He clutched his stomach with a desperate look, sweat running down his face in buckets. "I am telling the truth! My stomach is really hurting! It’s not me alone. Look at them!" He pointed at a few people who were scattered around the hall. "They are also experiencing the same thing as I do!"
Lu Yizhou surreptitiously scanned the VVIP dining hall. The vast and elegant hall was filled with round tables draped in white cloth. This must be the largest room in the ship for Captain Rong to make it as a meeting point. However, there was no way it could accommodate everyone and hence, many spare chairs had been added haphazardly.
In one day, people had formed groups with each other, making it easier for Lu Yizhou to differentiate between players and NPCs. Now that all of them were gathered in one place, it was not hard to point out the main trait of players.
After all, there was one thing they had in common.
They were too cautious, alert and defensive. Their eyes often shifted around to inspect the people around them; it was definitely not the look of people who came to enjoy the cruise ship. Instead, they looked like a group of beasts crouching in the dark, waiting for the chance to pounce on others at the slightest provocation.
Lu Yizhou naturally withdrew his gaze and took a seat beside Ellen. It took him half a second to realize that their table was occupied by those in the entertainment industry: Sister Chen, Xiao Qi, Photographer Song, the producer, director and a few familiar faces Lu Yizhou had seen around the set, and lastly Chu Lingshe.
Lu Yizhou’s cold eyes immediately clashed with Chu Lingshe’s smiling ones. In this world, there were less than 10 people who could withstand the weight of Lu Yizhou’s stare. He had intimidated quite a lot of people simply by staring at them alone and moreover, he knew what it took to break through someone’s line of defense. He did not have any qualms to exude pressure on Chu Lingshe, the woman had been rubbing him off the wrong way ever since she started to provoke him back in the set.
