After coming out of the toilet, he rushed to the conference room, where more than a dozen regional leaders were sitting. Amandine knew almost everyone, except for the protagonist Corey. He wanted to find a place to hide first, and then he found a vacant seat next to a fat woman, so he walked over and quietly got under the table. At first he was wondering why there was no one here, but when he hid under the table, he found out that the fat woman had body odor, and at this moment, he was unable to bear the smell, that is, the "stink". More than a minute passed, and it was time to change air again. He was not prepared for a moment, and he inhaled too fast and too hard, and suddenly felt dizzy and nauseous, as if he had eaten rotten eggs and wanted to vomit. He couldn't help but curse, "Fat pig, can't you stay at home? You come here to disgust people." Amandine felt that he was cursing in his heart, but in fact he shouted it out loud, and everyone in the conference room heard it at once. The fat woman looked down and found a person hiding under the table. She screamed, "Peeping! Pervert." Her scream attracted the guards outside the door. Amandine wanted to hide but it was too late. Fortunately, he didn't do so, otherwise it would expose the invisibility cloak. He was caught on the spot. Everyone present was his acquaintance. They were all surprised to see him suddenly appear. A North American manager asked, "Amandine, when did you hide under the table?"
"Why didn't Corey come? I want to see him." Amandine answered irrelevantly.
These people didn't know how to deal with this matter. Someone suggested to lock him up first. Amandine was finally locked in a single room, which was the room Uwa lived in before. He was handcuffed and there were two guards guarding outside the door.
Uwa and Beyondbear waited outside until after eight o'clock in the evening, but still couldn't wait for Amandine to come out. She was anxious and took Beyondbear to the Pride Farm. As soon as they stood in front of the gate, the guards shouted at them, "This is a private place, not a playground, go away." Beyondbear didn't care about that and insisted on breaking in. A guard was furious and fired a shot into the air. Beyondbear had been shot before, and now he was most afraid of hearing such sounds. He ran away in fear and disappeared in a moment. Uwa still insisted on going in, and she kept shouting, "I want to see my brother! Please let me in." The guard didn't care at first because she was a woman, but later he got annoyed and slapped her hard in the face, and then kicked her again. Uwa covered her face and dared not speak again. She saw a tree about ten meters away from the door, walked over and squatted down to wait for Amandine to come out. Beyondbear returned at eleven o'clock. He was hungry and wanted to find Uwa to eat something together. Uwa was not in the mood to eat, so she gave Beyondbear 200 shillings and asked him to buy it himself. The money was given by Amandine before he left, a total of 10,000 shillings. Uwa sat under the tree and waited until the next day but no one came out, feeling very sad. At this time, she remembered what Amandine said when he left. She was hesitating whether to leave here or not. She wanted to discuss it with Beyondbear, but he was still sleeping in the car. When she was worried, Amandine suddenly appeared beside her. She shouted in surprise, "Brother!"
Amandine hurriedly covered her mouth, "Shh! Keep your voice down." Then he lowered his voice and said, "Get back to the car, I'll follow you."
Uwa stood up happily and walked back. The two of them quickly returned to the truck stop one after the other. Amandine climbed into the car, started the engine immediately, and drove more than 300 kilometers in one breath. He dared to stop the car in a wilderness. "Brother, why did you come out so late? I was waiting anxiously." Time went back to yesterday. After Amandine was caught on the spot, he was locked in a single room. About ten minutes later, Bald Qiang came in through the door. He asked angrily, "Did you push me just now?"
"Bald Qiang, I met you for the first time today, how could I push you?"
Bald Qiang didn't believe it, and punched him hard in the stomach with his fist. He bent over in pain. "This punch is the return for you asking Beyondbear to bite me last time."
Amandine was so painful that he couldn't speak. After a long while, he asked, "Are you the owner of the Pride Farm now?"
Bald Qiang smiled, "Of course, I did so many things, wasn't it just for today!"
"Why did Corey want to catch me at that time?"
"You are in my hands now, so it doesn't matter if I tell you. He has always suspected that you and Norforth are people from the future. He really wants to know about the future of the Illuminati from you?" Amandine blurted out, "How did he know this information?"
"Are you really people from the future?" Bald Qiang asked in surprise. He never believed these nonsense. "Yes, this is not a big secret. Many people know it." Bald Qiang was very interested and immediately changed his expression to flattering. "Is my name in the history book?" Amandine sneered in his heart, "Are you worthy of being named in history?" But he said, "To tell you the truth, it is true. I kept you by my side because I saw the name Jing Qiang. The Illuminati will be renamed the Nine Stars Union in the future, and you will be the founder of the new organization." Bald Qiang was so excited that he almost turned over when he heard these words. He asked eagerly, "Then how can we do it?" Amandine thought for a moment and said, "This is not easy. Corey is the president now. If he stays there, you will have no chance." Bald Qiang is not stupid either. He glanced at Amandine, "Are you saying this to make me conflict with Corey?"
"Maybe! But if you want to be the founder of the Nine Stars Union, will Corey take the initiative to give up his position to you?"
Bald Qiang was speechless and couldn't help but believe it. Amandine took the opportunity to say, "If the two of us can join forces, it will be no problem to take down the Illuminati. What do you think?" After a long time, Bald Qiang replied, "Okay! I will cooperate with you, but I will only provide intelligence, and you will do the rest." Amandine was overjoyed, and the two discussed some details of the contact. When Bald Qiang left, he also said that he would find a way to rescue him tomorrow. The next morning, Amandine was waiting for rescue in the room. He didn't have much hope. At this time, a basket was hung from the upstairs window, which contained a key and a bundle of escape ropes. He used the key to open the handcuffs, and then climbed to the first floor with a rope, and escaped. Amandine parked the car in a small town called "Mazis". This town has a history of more than 500 years. There is a century-old store in the town-Milner Hotel, which attracts many celebrities and dignitaries. The legend of the founder Douglas Logan starting a business with five shillings is even more talked about. Amandine had heard of this hotel a long time ago, but had never been here. This time, he came here by chance and wanted to go in and see it. After getting off the car, he took Uwa and Beyondbear, two country bumpkins, into the hotel.
