Chapter 1027 - Colossal Tower Yuan's eyes widened with surprise after Xie Mey removed her cloak, but it was an unexpected one. 'Who?' He raised his eyebrows after seeing Xie Mey's appearance without recognizing her. Xie Mey was an incredibly beautiful woman with blonde hair and green eyes. She had a slim hourglass figure, and her breasts were quite ample. Her facial features were sharp and symmetrical, and her face gave off the aura of a battle-hardened warrior who has survived many battlefields. Yuan thought that the trend of meeting people with similar faces that he already knew like Meixiu in the first trial would continue in the second trial, but that did not seem to be the case. "I can tell that you're charmed by my beauty, but I'm sorry, I will only seriously consider someone who is stronger than me to be my partner!" Xie Mey suddenly said. Yuan raised an eyebrow and said, "No, I just don't understand why you decided to hide your identity. I thought you were someone I knew, but that doesn't seem to be the case." "I have my own reasons for hiding my identity." Yuan casually shrugged and proceeded to ignore Xie Mey, returning to his study. "Nobody here recognizes me? Seriously?" Xie Mey muttered in a dumbfounded voice when even the Huang Family began ignoring her. "I-I recognize you…" The driver said in a low and somewhat nervous voice. However, Xie Mey didn't even look at him, almost as though she didn't even acknowledge his existence. Several days later, the carriage came to a stop when they finally arrived at their destination, Colossal Mammoth City. Xie Mey, who was back to hiding her appearance, said to them, "The last few days were fun. Thank you for letting me tag along. I would love to continue tagging along, but I have to prepare for the Tournament of Strength, so we will have to go our separate ways here." "While I still don't know who you are or your purpose for following us, I am glad that you did, as we have managed to arrive at our destination in one piece. It would've been really dangerous for us if I had to deal with all of the magical beasts by myself." Yuan said to her. "I'm sure you would've managed it even if you had to do it by yourself. Anyways, I will see you later, Yuan. Don't disappoint me at the tournament. I really look forward to exchanging fists with you." Xie Mey disappeared into the city shortly after, followed by Yuan and the Huang Family. "We have a little over a week until the tournament. I am going to use this time to exchange my treasures." Huang Chen announced to everyone there. Once they rented a hotel, Yuan followed Huang Chen and Huang Xiao Li to exchange their treasures while Dong Zhou and Qin Kai stayed back to protect Mistress Huang and her son. Since this was their first time coming to the Colossal Mammoth City, Huang Chen had to spend some time gathering information about the best places to exchange treasures. "Then you are most likely looking for the Colossal Tower. It's the hottest location in this city when it comes to treasures. Most visitors go there to exchange their treasures as well." "Thank you for the information. Here's a token of my gratitude." Huang Chen handed some gold to the person that provided him with the information.𝗳𝚛𝚎𝚎𝘄𝕖𝕓𝕟𝕠𝚟𝚎𝕝.𝗰𝕠𝐦 Meanwhile, Yuan looked around with a pondering face. "The giants in this place are noticeably larger than the ones in the last two cities." Yuan mumbled. "Of course. This is the capital of the Giant's Continent, not to mention the upcoming tournament. All of the strongest giants in the continent will be gathered in this city." Huang Xiao Li said. "I am aware of that, but I didn't think there would be such a vast difference." "Just wait until the tournament. You'll be like an ant compared to most of them." Sometime later, they arrived at the Colossal Tower, and just as its name suggests, the place was enormous, and it was one of the biggest buildings Yuan had ever seen in his life. The building was so tall that he couldn't see the top even with his head tilted all the way back. "I can't imagine how much effort and resources the giants had to spend to build this magnificent tower. I have always wanted to see it after hearing about it during my first time on this continent." Huang Chen sharply sucked in a bunch of cold air before mumbling in a dazed voice. They entered the building sometime later. "Make sure you don't wander and you keep your focus. It's actually very common for humans to die here, and most of them are accidents caused by giants and humans when we fail to pay attention to our surroundings. We're like ants in this place, after all." Huang Chen warned them. Huang Xiao Li swallowed nervously and immediately stuck to Yuan. "Do you mind if we hold hands?" she asked him, acting like a child who did not want to be separated from her parents by accident in a large shopping mall. "Sure." Yuan nodded and held onto her soft hands. Their group began wandering the tower, approaching every store that caught Huang Chen's attention. Yuan didn't do much besides pay attention to their surroundings to make sure they don't get stepped on by accident. As for Huang Xiao Li, she was focused on the sensation around her hands, feeling like she was on a date with Yuan. Over the next couple of hours, they would go through dozens of stores and even some personal vendors. At the end of the day, Huang Chen managed to exchange almost a dozen treasures. "This place is truly heaven-sent! The quality of treasures in this place is incomparably superior than the ones found in Southern Stronghold! Extending the business trip was definitely worth it! Hell, I might even do this every time I come to the Giant's Continent now!" Huang Chen had a wide smile on his face as they exited the tower.
