Chapter 845 - 550: Explorer [06] Rumor Has It Master Sliver Will Join the Project Team

Pedro Langley’s successful proposal was a devastating blow to Ernesto Scott—after all, his eldest daughter had been home for less than a year, hardly any time to warm his heart and spend quality time together, and she was already tricked away by that rascal, which really got on his nerves.

However, after Pedro Langley brought Nora Scott to the Langley Residence for a meal, he took her back to the Scott family, saying he wanted to stay for a few days.

Ernesto Scott, who had been eagerly waiting for Nora’s return, was overjoyed, and even his impression of Pedro improved significantly.

To help Pedro win over his future father-in-law, Nora had to stay with the Scott family until two days before the Yangel project started, when she returned to Cloudwater Haven to prepare.

Before the next episode of "On the Road" aired, Nora received a call from Richard Carter, the assistant to the project team leader.

"Miss Scott, I’ve booked a flight for the day after tomorrow, and you’ll have someone picking you up when you land. I’ll send you the contact details first."

Given Nora’s "flower vase" image in Richard’s mind, his tone was strictly business-like, even a bit stiff.

"Okay."

Nora remained as indifferent as ever.

Richard internally criticized her, his tone even colder than hers: "Also, the experts from the project team have set up a group chat. I’ll add you to it later."

"Oh."

"..."

"..."

Richard: "That’s it then." With this attitude, I won’t be calling you again!

Richard hung up the phone.

Nora didn’t care, but shortly after, her phone buzzed, showing she had been added to a group chat.

Group name: 1101 Project Engineering Team.

They were chatting away, and with non-stop buzzing, Nora opened it to take a look.

[Is that legendary Master Sliver also joining our team?]

Nora’s eyelid twitched, thinking her identity had been discovered.

Unexpectedly, no one noticed her joining the group, and others quickly chimed in, continuing the topic—

[Who’s Master Sliver?]

[Is he famous?]

[Sounds familiar. Is he in Mechanical Techniques?]

[I heard he won’t join the group, you can only meet him in Yangel.]

...

Holding her phone, Nora propped her chin with one hand, staring at the screen as she read the chat, a faint smile spreading in her eyes, thinking of something amusing.

Tsk.

This identity is like a hot potato, and yet someone dares to mess with it.

Or is it Alexander Vaughn fishing again?

[I know this one, the most mysterious legendary figure in the Mechanism Arts Circle, whose mechanical works can’t be replicated. If Nora Scott and "Escape Room" are the promoters of Mechanical Techniques, bringing it to the public and market, then this person is the pinnacle of the Mechanism Arts Circle. Many experts are studying his work, wanting to consult with him.]

[Didn’t they say no one knows who he is? How did the project team manage to invite such a reclusive master?]

[@Richard Carter, Williams, is this reliable?]

[If it’s true, that’s amazing. With him, the project’s problems are sure to be solved.]

[Is he really that incredible? Then what do we need to do?]

[Don’t doubt it, some secluded masters do possess extraordinary skills.]

...

[Richard Carter]: According to Ford, it should be genuine. I can’t guarantee it, we’ll have to wait two days and meet him in Yangel to know for sure.

Richard isn’t a technical person, but an assistant to Ryan Ford, handling some trivial matters and coordinating personnel. So the words from his mouth carried a bit of credibility.

As soon as he spoke up, more than half of the group chimed in, and the topic revolved entirely around "Master Sliver."

Nora watched for a moment, found it boring, exited the chat, and casually muted it.

*

Half an hour later, the next episode of "On the Road’s" trip to the Northwest aired on time. Oliver Scott and Marcus Shaw were on the sofa connecting the TV to play it, inviting Nora to join them to watch.

This episode featured Marcus and Oliver. Naturally, Nora was very accommodating, immediately joining them and sitting on the sofa with them.

Oliver even considerately handed over some snacks.

Marcus glanced over casually but said nothing.

Due to the previous episode’s high popularity, viewers were curious about Marcus and Oliver’s performance on the reality show. Coupled with the news of Nora’s public proposal, it added another wave of heat to the show. Overall, the ratings and popularity index rocketed, leaving people astonished.

——Those who predicted that Nora’s commercial value would plummet post-marriage looked at the numbers and touched their faces, feeling a bit slapped.

[Bros, I’m here!]

[Judging from the preview, Nora looks like a true winner in life! Two handsome, sister-adoring brothers, ahhh! Plus a doting dad and a mysteriously-identified husband, so envious.]

[I’d settle for just one brother, just one.]
