Chapter 386 A Thick Fog of Mystery, the Hands-off Manager

Hearing the man's tone, Evelyn's beautiful eyes darted around, and she glared at him fiercely.

Then, smiling, she introduced the man's identity to Li Yuan:

"Li Yuan, this is my older brother Jonathan. He's a nice guy, but sometimes he's a bit unreliable."

"Oh! You actually said that about your brother? This really hurts me."

Jonathan made an exaggerated comment about Evelyn.

Then he looked at Li Yuan and asked, half-jokingly:

"Mr. Li Yuan? You've come to see Evelyn, surely not because you're after the treasures in Hamunaptra?"

"Jonathan!"

Upon hearing this, Evelyn reached out and slapped Jonathan's arm hard.

He gestured to him with his eyes to shut up.

Seeing Jonathan's expression, Li Yuan chuckled.

Even if Jonathan didn't ask, Li Yuan planned to explain the purpose of his trip.

To avoid causing unnecessary misunderstandings.

Thinking of this, Li Yuan softly offered an explanation for the brother and sister:

"Don't worry, my purpose in coming here is not the treasures in Hamunaptra."

Rather, it was the legendary Book of the Dead, and the spirits that resided within it.

Besides, I promise I won't take a single grain of sand from the City of the Dead.

Although Li Yuan spoke with absolute certainty, Jonathan still looked at him with a wary expression.

After all, nobody would believe that anyone would be interested in the dead!

Evelyn, however, completely believed Li Yuan's words.

Seeing that Jonathan's expression was still not good, she helped explain:

"Mr. Li Yuan is an exorcist by profession, and he is not lying to you."

Upon learning that Li Yuan was actually an exorcist,

This caused Jonathan to instantly drop his guard.

Instead, they were very interested in Li Yuan's profession.

"My God! You're an exorcist! This is the first time I've ever met one alive!"

Can you tell me about the evil beings you've encountered?

Jonathan asked with a longing look:

"Like a greedy demon? A wicked witch?"

Upon hearing this, Li Yuan's expression turned somewhat strange.

He glanced at Malakan and Grace beside him, and said to Jonathan with a smile:

"Of course, whatever you like."

Meanwhile, a second private plane that had arrived in Cairo slowly came to a stop on the tarmac.

A dozen or so cold-faced mercenaries disembarked from the plane one by one.

Walking at the very end was an elderly man with white hair wearing gold-rimmed glasses.

He glanced in the direction of the terminal building, smiling as he murmured to himself:

"Little Evelyn, please help me find the City of the Dead."

The mercenary leader waiting below saw the old man slowly walk off the plane.

He quickly stepped forward and asked softly:

"Professor Banner, what about our weapons?"

"Don't worry, the weapons have been transported to the designated location, there won't be any problems."

The mercenary leader breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this.

However, a strange light gleamed in his eyes as he looked at Professor Banner.

Outside the airport, the leader of the research team that accompanied Evelyn was Professor Mel.

He was saying goodbye to Evelyn with his team.

Before leaving, Professor Mel, who held Evelyn in high regard,

He earnestly instructed her:

"Evelyn, if you can't find the City of the Dead, Hamunaptra..."

Then come and help me continue mining the pyramids.

My team would love to have you join us.

"I will, Professor Mel."

Evelyn nodded very seriously.

He then hugged and said goodbye to each of Professor Mel's team members.

Professor Meyer's trip to Cairo is to excavate a pyramid that has only been partially developed.

In order to make his discovery more impactful,

He returned to China, bringing with him a professional recording team.

We plan to document the rest of the excavation process in its entirety.

Li Yuan watched as the young men and women said goodbye to Evelyn.

Subconsciously, I felt that it looked somewhat familiar.

The moment this thought crossed Li Yuan's mind, he muttered to himself:

"No way? Is this another storyline strung together?"

At this point, Evelyn finished saying goodbye to Professor Mel.

He quickly returned to Li Yuan and his group with Jonathan.

Evelyn excitedly suggested to Li Yuan:

"Let's go, Li Yuan, we need to find a Bedouin guide first."

This place is surrounded by desert; only the Bedouins can discern the correct directions.

Li Yuan nodded readily to Evelyn and said softly:

"It's all up to you, Evelyn."

Just think of me as a traveler here to experience exotic scenery.

After all, Li Yuan didn't know Hamunata's exact location, so everything depended on Evelyn.

Evelyn happily agreed upon hearing this.

Then, he led Li Yuan and his group into a nearby alley.

Jonathan, standing to the side, glanced at Li Yuan and Evelyn with a strange expression.

Then he nudged Li Yuan's arm with his elbow and asked in a low voice:

"Li Yuan? Do you like my sister?"

Li Yuan was taken aback upon hearing this, and looked at Jonathan with some surprise, asking:

Why do you say that?

Jonathan chuckled and winked at Li Yuan:

"I've traveled all over the country for so many years, these eyes are sharp! Nothing can escape my notice!"

As he spoke, he glanced at Evelyn in front of him.

He lowered his voice and said to Li Yuan:

"My sister is so cute and knowledgeable."

"As long as you can afford the bride price, I'll arrange for her to marry you!"

Upon hearing that familiar word, Li Yuan's lips twitched.

He instinctively spoke up and asked Jonathan:

"Don't you have a custom of giving betrothal gifts here?"

Hearing Li Yuan ask this question, Jonathan raised his head.

He revealed an expression that said, "I knew it."

"I've been to the Great Celestial Empire, so I know a little about its customs and traditions!"

"Where you're from, men and women always have to give a bride price when they get married! Don't try to fool me!"

"I have no money."

Li Yuan replied succinctly.

Then, raising an eyebrow, he smiled and said to Jonathan:

"I can only wish you good luck in finding a brother-in-law who can provide a dowry."

"Oh! Stop talking nonsense. People who go out with bodyguards can't be poor, can they?"

Jonathan glanced at the tall, imposing Malakan and said somewhat angrily:

"You're such a cheapskate! I didn't even say how much I wanted!"

While the two were talking,

Evelyn and the others stopped in front of an inn.

She glanced at the services posted on the door and stepped inside.

Evelyn, who had just entered the hotel, asked the owner, who was standing behind the counter with his head down, in a low voice:

"Boss, can you help me find a Bedouin guide here?"

The hotel owner didn't even lift his eyelids.

As he wrote and drew, he asked:

"Sure, would you prefer a short or long trip? By car or camel?"

Seeing that there was no one else at the hotel reception, Evelyn spoke in a low voice:

"We want to go to Hamnata, and we need a car that can seat five people."

Upon hearing the name Hamunaptra, the innkeeper abruptly looked up.

A glint of greed flashed across his eyes.
