Me and My Cold CEO Wife

Chapter 1739 - 1728: Agreeing to Join

Listening to the wailing complaints on the phone, the bored Ning Fan decided to begrudgingly help him take revenge."A whole ten thousand US Dollars, no wonder this guy is crying so sadly. Well, this time let's make it tenfold."

Setting a small goal, Ning Fan headed towards The Venetian, the casino that bankrupted Bick.

After passing a few hours idly, Ning Fan left with a hundred thousand US Dollars.

Looking at Alice's dejected face, Ning Fan sincerely said, "You must remember today's lesson; gambling is a bad habit."

Going to the casino for fun, Ning Fan wouldn't resort to cheating, his bets were completely laissez-faire.

As for Alice, she never considered the idea of cheating.

Compared to Ning Fan hitting the mark effortlessly, Alice's luck was terribly bad, she lost every bet.

Alice pouted, "Of course I know the dangers of gambling, but I never thought my luck would be this bad, it's really awful."

"There's a saying in Huaxia, 'Fortune comes when misfortune reaches its extreme.' It means when luck is at its lowest, good fortune will follow."

"I hope this is the worst luck I'll have."

Alice spoke without realizing the next event would be extremely unfortunate, a matter that would change her life.

Returning to New York this time, Ning Fan wouldn't clumsily take a car again.

On the next morning, after almost ten hours of flight, Ning Fan set foot on New York's soil again.

"It's time to go home."

Looking back at New York International Airport, Ning Fan had already decided to return home by tomorrow at the latest.

Back at Emperor's Pavilion, William and Andrew had not returned yet.

Count Mos, who had been waiting here, respectfully said, "Mr. Ning, the Duke has sent a message saying he will be back in New York in four days, please do enjoy yourself in the meantime."

"The day after tomorrow huh!"

Ning Fan felt a bit annoyed, he had already messaged Xu Ruolan saying he would return home tomorrow.

"Can you help me get in touch with Duke William?"

"Sure, please follow me."

Arriving in a small alcove of the suite, looking at the vintage round mirror inside,

Ning Fan, who had visited Ryan Town, of course understood the real purpose of this mirror.

This mirror can be used for video calls, its principle is to synchronize sound and image through the magical power resonance of magic formations in two locations.

Under the introduction by that magic tool shop owner in Ryan Town, alchemists are essentially like legendary immortals, capable of turning stone into gold, sowing beans to create soldiers, crafting all sorts of bizarre magic tools.

They can even create living puppets.

Unfortunately, such people are eccentric by nature, dedicated to their research, rarely contacting the outside world.

No matter how Ning Fan tried hard to persuade them, or enticed them with heavy gold, he couldn't get an introduction.

"It's a pity I had no chance to meet an alchemist, really want to learn about such amazing craftsmanship."

Regarding combat ability, Ning Fan might take on ten alone, but his skills cannot compare to such ingenious techniques.

In Ning Fan's sigh, Mos input magic power to connect the transmission mirror with the family residence.

"Mos, what's the matter..."

While speaking, Albert noticed Ning Fan beside him, quickly turned respectful, "Mr. Ning, do you wish to see the Duke?"

"Mm."

"Please wait a moment."

About five minutes later, William appeared in the magic mirror, "Ning Fan, you've returned from Ryan Town, how was it there?"

William had already learned from Ander that Ning Fan made a fruitless trip.

During the time, William had considered helping, but Ander's lips were too tight, he was powerless.

"Not bad."

"That's good."

William then said, "I have already reported the previous matter to the Prince, the Prince has agreed and has started preparations, I believe good news will come soon."

Ning Fan asked confusedly, "What matter?"

"It's about your appointment to the Supreme Committee's councillor seat."

"So it's about that."

Seeing Ning Fan had no further comments, William quickly said, "Please trust the friendship of the Philip Family, we mean no harm."

"Of course I trust you. I agree."

If not for this trip to Ryan Town, Ning Fan might have needed more consideration.

But after understanding Ander and the philosophy of the Exorcism Association, Ning Fan made his decision.

"That's great, I guarantee you won't regret today's decision."

Watching William's cheerful expression, a trace of guilt flashed through Ning Fan's eyes.

This time William and Andrew returned to the family to work on this matter,

Even the Princes of both clans were mobilized to make this happen.

One must know the seats are limited, each vote concerns the vital interests of human or alien clan.

Ning Fan was well aware that the Philip and Morgan Families were jointly recommending him, a human, to strengthen their friendship on one hand, and to insert a man on the human seat on the other.

In this hemispherical voting system, the aliens are at a clear disadvantage, Ning Fan's importance is undeniable.

If it were a trivial matter, Ning Fan might not care and would stand with aliens due to the friendship between two clans.

But matters concerning human and alien clan interests, Ning Fan would definitely stand on the opposing side of the aliens.

This is precisely Ning Fan's sense of guilt, he is ultimately human.

The Philip Family painstakingly facilitated this matter, which could eventually backfire on them.

"Hope there won't be that day, otherwise it would be a disaster for both parties."

Meanwhile, this is also Ning Fan's reason for joining.

Ning Fan wasn't clear about the situation in the East.

But from these days' understanding, Western aliens are overly abundant, not only in species but also in numbers.

During his conversation with Ander, Ning Fan only then realized, if it weren't for the Exorcism Association's exorcism tasks, countless people might have met unfortunate ends.

Aliens cannot be completely eradicated, with their capabilities, even if they can't compete, they can hide in secluded places and return stronger.

Even in today's technologically advanced world, for humans, this planet is still unfamiliar, where many places can't be detected by high-tech.

These places are mostly alien habitats.

With the destructive power the aliens display, ordinary people are simply no match for them.

Even with modern weapons in hand, it often requires sacrificing hundreds, even thousands to eliminate them.

Don't be deceived by the number of aliens killed by exorcist hunters, more ordinary people died at the hands of aliens, just unknown to outsiders.

In the records of the Exorcism Association, each alien cleared had at least a hundred human lives on their hands.

And this is just the known quantity, who knows the number in secret.

Cooperation between the Exorcism Association and the Blood Clan is also out of necessity.

Aliens secretly support one another, sometimes it's challenging to gather intelligence.

Now, led by the Blood Clan, unifying the aliens for control, can at least prevent the appearance of innocents.

Ning Fan never considered himself a compassionate Saint, now having the chance to participate in this, he wouldn't miss it.

Voting, a mere lift of a hand, might save tens of thousands of lives behind the scenes.
