The Kiss that Sparked it All novel Chapter 632

With the ushers leading the way, Ellinor stepped into Eden International Private Club.

Riding the elevator to the top floor, where the conference was being held, she was in the midst of a tight-knit process that ensured no unwanted guests or leaks of private information.

Once they reached the conference floor, the ushers took their leave.

Ellinor walked in alone.

The lighting in the conference room was dim, unlike the usual bright lights at most shindigs.

Everyone was anonymous. They were here for a tech exchange and were not keen on revealing their true identities.

The low light allowed for better concealment of facial features, like their eyes.

The hall was buzzing and filled with people. It felt more like a masquerade, except everyone was donning similar masks.

In the center of the hall, some folks were engaged in chatter and sipping drinks. Further in, there was a small stage where people were discussing new systems and other techy stuff.

"Look! It's Snow Bunny!"

"Snow Bunny is here too!"

"Snow Bunny has been laying low these past few years. She used to love sneaking into other countries' defense systems and changing their slogans."

"Damn, that’s impressive!"

Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, Ellinor gave a small smile and found a quiet spot to sit and listen to the stage talk.

The presentation on stage was going through slides, discussing some recent tech issues.

After a while, Ellinor started to feel a bit drowsy. She looked around to see if anything new was going on that could keep her awake.

Whispers were floating around her.

"With Snow Bunny here today, what about AAAres?"

In fact, she had met AAAres years ago at an offline forum, where they briefly exchanged some thoughts. They shared many similar ideas, but that encounter was too fleeting for her to delve deeper.

Now that they had a chance to meet again, she couldn't let this opportunity for an in-depth discussion slip away.

Finding the ongoing discussion quite dull, Ellinor stood up and headed towards the man quietly sipping his drink by the windows.

Seeing her approach AAAres, the folks nearby still kept their whispers going. They were even more excited than before.

A meeting and exchange between two titans in the field was undoubtedly a sight to behold.

...

"AAAres, long time no see!"

Ellinor greeted first. Her voice, after going through the voice changer, was unrecognizable.

AAAres looked up, his face mostly covered by a metallic mask, only revealing his chin and thin lips.
