Star Iron: Cat Renaissance Abundance

Bai Ling followed the Clock Boy and walked slowly towards the border of Dream Building. Then he entered a pinball machine. After a few shots, Bai Ling appeared at the edge of the golden moment and the border of Dream Building.

After Bai Ling left the pinball machine, he said to Clock Boy, "Clock Boy, hide first. The family hounds are behind us."

"Tick! Good!"

After making sure that the Clock Boy was well hidden, Bai Ling walked to a rooftop, where he could see dream builders' dream eyes everywhere.

The hunting dogs that had been following Bai Ling no longer hid when they saw Bai Ling stop on the rooftop, and appeared behind Bai Ling one after another.

Bai Ling slowly turned around and said in a tone that left no room for doubt: "Tell me, what are you doing here, so hastily and furtively following the Alliance's envoy? This is different from what your patriarch said. Explain your purpose, or I have the right to ask for help from the Alliance."

The leader of the hounds said, "We don't intend to be enemies with the Alliance. We are simply ordered to protect your safety. To be honest, a group of stowaways have recently infiltrated Pinocchio, and we are here to protect you from their attack."

"Oh, stowaways. Haha, even if the Annihilation Gang sneaked in, they'd have to show some respect to the Alliance envoy. I don't think a group of profiteers are more dangerous than the Annihilation Gang. When you're looking for excuses, you have to consider the target too~"

Bai Ling appeared beside the leader's shoulder without anyone noticing. The murderous intent emanating from Bai Ling made the hound leader's legs tremble.

Bai Ling patted his shoulder gently, then smiled evilly and disappeared again, then reappeared on the railing accompanied by a few fallen leaves.

Bai Ling sat on the railing and continued, "The family is good in every way, except for one thing: some of them don't know their place. The rise of the Abundant Alliance is destiny, but the old powers are also worthy of the family's consideration."

"The Alliance doesn't mind your family's hedging behavior, but there's one thing: if you want to drag the Alliance into your family's mess."

Bai Ling stretched out her slender jade hand and gracefully made an exaggerated explosion gesture in the air, as if a devastating force was about to burst out from her hand.

"Boom!" Bai Ling's voice boomed like thunder, accompanied by this crisp and resounding onomatopoeia: "I think the energy radiation generated by the collapse of a black hole should be enough to completely wipe out the entire Asdena galaxy!"

Yet, surprisingly, even as she finished these shocking words, her expression didn't change in the slightest. Her face, as white as snow and as calm as water, showed no trace of emotion, like a bottomless, cold pool in a deep valley, making it impossible to detect even a single emotion.

Yet, this seemingly serene and harmless face brought unprecedented pressure to the surrounding hounds. They sensed an invisible pressure emanating continuously from Bai Ling, as heavy as a mountain pressing down on an egg. Even these usually awe-inspiring hounds felt timid, each one huddled in silence, not daring to utter a single sound.

"Okay, stop scaring them."

The hounds who heard Gallagher's voice moved directly towards Gallagher, trying to find some sense of security from Gallagher.

"Haha, I thought you wouldn't come. Let them disperse. Oh, by the way, if today's events were to be told, I don't think you would want to know the alliance's methods."

The hounds looked at Gallagher helplessly. Gallagher waved his hand and said to them, "Go down. Nothing happened today."

"Yes!"

The hounds fled at a speed comparable to that of the patrollers.

"Tell me, what's the reason for luring me out here? First of all, if this involves the watchmaker's inheritance, then I can't do anything about it!"

After saying this, Bai Ling jumped down from the railing, staring at Gallagher.

Gallagher couldn't see anything he needed in Bai Ling's eyes. Those eyes made him feel unattainable.

Despite this, Gallagher said, "It's not certain whether the watchmaker's legacy exists or not. Perhaps this was a deliberate cover-up by the watchmaker..."

Before Gallagher finished his words, his originally wandering gaze suddenly fixed on the seemingly ordinary ticket on Bai Ling's chest as if attracted by a magnet.

The stamp on the ticket clearly showed the pattern of the Starry Sky Train.

"You figured it out so quickly?" Bai Ling's lips curled up slightly, teasing with a hint of a smile. "I thought someone as perceptive as you would be more observant."

Gallagher's expression suddenly grew grave. He took a deep breath, as if to calm the turbulent waves in his heart, and then he spoke solemnly and apologetically, "I am truly sorry. I sincerely apologize for sending the hounds to secretly track you. However, this place is crowded with people and eyes, and it is not a suitable place for conversation."

Just then, a crisp, rhythmic ticking sound was heard. Following the sound, the Clock Kid, who had been hiding, appeared between the two men after realizing that the area was safe. When Gallagher caught sight of the Clock Kid, his doubts were immediately alleviated.

"You've arrived just in time, Clock Boy." Bai Ling greeted him casually, then quickly ordered, "Let's go to Liumeng Reef."

Even that brief sentence sent Gallaher reeling. All the elaborate arguments he'd carefully prepared beforehand were now useless. The unknown guest before him clearly possessed a deep background, possessing knowledge far beyond Gallaher's expectations. Furthermore, this person was elusive, shrouded in mystery, making him difficult to grasp.

At this moment, Gallaher's mind became increasingly clear: this unknown guest was undoubtedly someone important, and the information and secrets he possessed were likely far greater than he himself knew. With this thought, Gallaher quickly gathered his thoughts, not daring to slack off even a little, and obediently followed Bai Ling closely.

Halfway through the journey, Gallagher chose to ask the question in his heart: "Do you know who I am?"

"Some things are better left unsaid. As I said before, I have no interest in the so-called legacy of the watchmaker and pioneer Mikhail."

Bai Ling emphasized the word "pioneer" and before Gallagher could say anything else, he continued:

"I won't interfere with what you're doing. I'm too lazy to go and see Tiernan and the others. Everything can go back to normal after I leave."

"You are much deeper than I thought..." Gallagher felt around and after confirming it was safe, he continued, "You are not an envoy of the Alliance of Plenty, nor are you an unknown guest."

"You're half right. Knowing my true identity won't do you any good. But since I'm entering Pinocchio as an unknown guest, I might as well help you out for Achieveri's sake. I always like to be straightforward. I came here just to find someone."

"Who?"

"Chadwick, number 79 in the club of geniuses who should have died..."
