Chapter 1699 - 1688: The Panicked Rabbit
Because the scroll is covered with a magic formation, if opened rashly, it will trigger a magic conflict, causing the loss of text content.The magic scroll can be said to be the most confidential way of communication.
Unless it's something particularly important, mages will not waste precious magic power.
"Divine Palace, what about you?"
"I'll stay here to care for this human, see if I can heal him."
Upon hearing this, a hint of delight flashed in Stuart's eyes,
though he didn't know why Raphael had a change of heart, still having a dislike for Adams deep inside.
But justice-driven Stuart couldn't bear to see such misery.
"Then I entrust you with this."
Raphael nodded and reminded again, "Make sure to meet the Pope as quickly as possible."
"Rest assured, I will travel day and night."
Watching Stuart leave, Raphael waved his hand, lifting Adams away from here.
"Adams, you only have one chance, I hope you come to your senses and cooperate willingly. Otherwise, I will not waste magic power on someone like you."
Thinking of Adams' despicable and selfish acts made Raphael feel he was overthinking.
...
"I'm done for. Once again, I got duped by this old rascal."
Noticing Alice's peculiar gaze, Ning Fan felt a burst of despair.
When he left the park, he thought he'd return to the hotel for a party.
But Ning Fan didn't expect Andrew to drag him to see Victoria's Secret.
He initially thought it was a stage play or perhaps the name of a bar or nightclub.
Upon entering, Ning Fan realized it was a lingerie show.
Alright! It's just a lingerie show, though with little clothing, it's not really a big deal.
Even in Huaxia, this kind of show is becoming popular, let alone in a liberated America.
But Ning Fan could never have guessed, not even two hours into the show, Andrew pulled him into a private room where several models who had just come off stage were present.
These models dressed even more daringly; their movements were even more alluring.
This was a complete small showcase, but unlike before, certain transactions could happen here.
At this moment, Ning Fan and Andrew were surrounded by a group of models, with private dances and teasing dances being performed one after another.
"I was wondering why Andrew kept fiddling with a tablet."
Now Ning Fan understood.
Victoria's Secret was indeed a lingerie show, but for wealthy people, it was a wild pursuit of attractions.
Under the power of the US Dollar, these performance models began to venture into business.
Having picked out models from below the stage, Andrew naturally had everything arranged.
Hence, the scene before them transpired.
"Ning Fan, how about this celebration?"
"Uh..."
Normally, Ning Fan would surely give a knowing smile.
But the most absurd part was Andrew even brought Alice along.
Ning Fan felt constrained, not because he worried about leaving a bad impression on Alice.
Yet, he wasn't carefree enough to act wantonly in front of a girl.
"No wonder William refused to come."
Ning Fan couldn't imagine that there would be such an unusual father in the world, who would seek pleasures in front of his own daughter.
"Does the Blood Clan care nothing for honor or shame?"
Seeming to detect Ning Fan's thoughts, Andrew laughed, "Don't misunderstand. We just don't have the superficial etiquette you do, but it's not as chaotic as you imagine."
Hearing this explanation, Ning Fan was somewhat convinced.
Because apart from being a bit frustrated, a little bored, and somewhat impatient, Alice exhibited no other peculiar emotions.
"Ning Fan, if you don't like it, just chat with Alice."
After speaking, Andrew buried his head into a big bosom.
Upon hearing these words, Ning Fan let out a sigh of relief. The reason for his entrapment was Andrew, this old scoundrel, flaunting gold yuan, causing these models to stick around him.
"Alice..."
Sitting not far from Alice, Ning Fan forced a smile and greeted.
Alice gave a slight smile and said softly, "You don't have to mind me. This is specially prepared by daddy for you."
Alice didn't care about the absurd scene before her; she merely felt sorry for not attending Adams' celebration.
Her mind was consumed with thoughts on how to explain to Adams.
After all, most had gone, and Adams personally extended the invitation.
"Do you have something on your mind?"
Speaking, Ning Fan suddenly realized, "Could it be last time…"
Before Ning Fan could finish speaking, Alice performed an unsightly act, suddenly throwing herself over to cover Ning Fan's mouth, then whispering, "Don't speak."
Afterwards, Alice sneakily glanced at the model group, seeing that Andrew hadn't noticed, she then patted her chest with a sigh of relief.
"This matter is a secret."
Seeing Ning Fan just nodded, feeling the warm breath in her palm, Alice then realized the impropriety, her body sprang backward like a spring.
Alice's ears turned scarlet; she was flustered like a startled little rabbit.
Witnessing this, a smile crept onto Ning Fan's lips, he found her increasingly adorable.
Among all the Blood Clan Ning Fan had ever encountered, Alice's feeling to him was the most unique, and also the one he felt the most goodwill towards.
Not due to mere beauty or similar reasons, as Ning Fan did not perceive the Blood Clan's distinct cold aura in Alice.
On the contrary, Alice brought Ning Fan a warm, comfortable feeling.
Every time he was with her, Ning Fan's True Qi within his body became more active than usual.
Ning Fan didn't know why, but this feeling was undeniably real.
All along, Ning Fan had never treated Alice as a Blood Clan member, but rather as a lovable little sister from next door.
"Sigh! Why do you fall for a human? The deeper you go, the harder it gets."
Ning Fan sighed silently; he couldn't bear to one day see Alice tormented by love.
At this moment, Alice suddenly exclaimed, "Daddy, I want to go for a walk."
"This… at night, it's somewhat unsafe for you alone."
Unable to concoct a reason, Andrew could only make up one about turning into a ghost.
Alice couldn't help but laugh, "With Ning Fan with me."
"Alright. Then I'm assured."
Andrew nodded, then worriedly said, "Don't go too far; we'll go back together later."
Andrew was indeed afraid, thinking his beloved daughter would again use Ning Fan.
Through Ning Fan's slip of words, Andrew finally understood that Ning Fan actually knew all along but deliberately helped cover it up.
"This foolish lad, with me here backing you, you should confidently pursue her, why assist her in deceiving me?"
Thinking of these things, Andrew once more felt a headache, then leaned his head onto something soft to alleviate his migraine.
