âAre you sure thatâs the case?â Mui Nuxin looked surprised.
Rosie fell into deep thought for a moment before she asked, âDo you have any evidence to support your claim?â
âOur evidence...â Leng Qing looked at Apas, who was sitting there quietly. She was suddenly lost for words.
Their evidence was based on trust, yet if she told them it was from a young girlâs instinct, not only would the Parthenon Temple not believe them, any person with common sense would struggle to believe them!
It was their biggest problem. They did not have clear evidence to prove that the Silver Moon Tyrant Titan was going to attack Athens.
âYou didnât have any evidence, but youâre fearing the sky is falling! Youâre really a busybody!â Zu Kuangli scoffed.
âYou can go ahead and ask where they got the Tyrant Titanâs heart from, provided that they are willing to say the truth...â Mo Fan said.
âEven if thatâs the case, we arenât responsible for it, either. Seriously, meeting you here has completely ruined my evening,â Zu Kuangli exclaimed.
âItâs true that even if the Silver Moon Tyrant Titan does turn hostile and kill many innocent people in the city, none of you have to bear any responsibility for their deaths. Itâs the Hall of Knights that will have neglected their duties, but I only hope that you can bear some conscience for the things you did,â Leng Qing said, speaking as an Elder of the Enforcement Union. âItâs the reason why we are here today. Leave personal grudges aside, this is a potential threat to the city. Since we donât have the same concerns, we shall excuse ourselves.â
Leng Qing rose to her feet. She had no intention to stay any longer.
Mo Fan stood up and patted Apas beside him.
Apas was constantly observing everyone throughout the confrontation. She seemed rather interested in everyoneâs reactions.
âHope you wonât mind if I donât send you off,â Rosie said. She remained seated.
Mui Nuxin surprisingly rose to her feet and said, âIâll come with you.â
â
Zu Kuangli was staring at Apas as she left. He said after some time, âAre we really going to let them leave just like that?â
âWe arenât savages,â Zu Xiangtian watched Mo Fan and the others leave. He said with a grin, âWe have many civilized ways to deal with a person.â
âIâm sorry, I didnât know there was a conflict between you. If I had...â Rosie said apologetically.
âItâs fine, Iâve long wanted to see what kind of a person that Mo Fan was. I kept wondering if he had three heads and six arms, but he seemed pretty ordinary to me!â Zu Xiangtian declared.
âA guy like that only knows how to please the crowd. Heâs nothing apart from having some luck!â
â
Mui Nuxin followed the three of them out. She said after noticing the weird atmosphere, âI couldnât even stop you if I tried, so why do you always behave like an ox?â
âThereâs no point in hiding,â Mo Fan replied.
âYouâve stated your stance clearly since youâve come with us. Iâm afraid those two arenât going to treat you nicely.â Leng Qing was quite observant. She was actually quite surprised that Mui Nuxin, who was initially tagging along with Zu Xiangtian and Zu Kuangli, was now sending them out instead.
âItâs only business. If we can reach a deal, we can be business partners, but if we canât, itâs not like we are going to fall out with one another right away. Well, Iâm more worried that someone might end the cooperation with our Mu Clan in the Kunlun Mountain Range if I donât come and send him off... in my opinion, heâs the last person whose tail I want to step on,â Mui Nuxin said, looking at Mo Fan with a smile.
âAm I that narrow-minded? If I do so, your sister is going to stab me to death in the middle of the night!â Mo Fan exclaimed.
âYou donât have to send us off. You should go back to them,â Leng Qing said.
Mui Nuxin shook her head and said, âForget it, I donât think I will be reaching a deal with them after what happened. Thereâs no point in me going back. Besides, I havenât had any time to enjoy myself, even after being here for a few days. I wouldnât mind following you guys around.â
âMiss Mui Nuxin, we didnât come here for a vacation. We are worried about the peopleâs safety,â Mo Fan stated.
âThen allow me to witness your heroic bearing. As the Tyrant Titanâs heart, I might be able to ask someone for help. Give me some time,â Mui Nuxin said.
âThat would be doing us a huge favor!â
Mui Nuxin dialed a number and talked on the phone briefly.
She looked at Apas after she was done and asked with glittering eyes,â Mo Fan, you havenât introduced the little girl to me yet. I was wondering, where did you even find such a gorgeous young lady? Even I feel ashamed of myself.â
âOh, her? I found her on my way to Cairo. She told me that she was deeply attracted to my mysterious charm of an Asian man after taking a quick glance at my elegance, so sheâs been following me around and insisting that I treat her like my sister. You do know that a gentleman like me can never turn a beautiful ladyâs request down...â Mo Fan rambled on.
Apas rolled her eyes. Her disdainful expression clearly told Mui Nuxin that it was nothing like he had said...
Mui Nuxin giggled. She conveniently gave Mo Fan a push when she saw his mouth was going to keep wandering, âSo thatâs how my sister fell for you?â
âIsnât that obvious? After we fought one another during the orientation, she quickly found out where I was staying and insisted on being my flatmate!â Mo Fan sighed.
âMo Fan, I will tell Xinxia everything you just said!â Leng Qing could not stand it any further. If she did not remind him now, he might even forget that they had some important matters to attend to!
â(Cough cough) I was just kidding! Arenât we waiting for her news anyway? Why canât I fool around to kill some time?â Mo Fan protested.
âBig brother, something caught my attention,â Apas said smoothly.
Apasâ voice was so soothing that it surged through Mo Fanâs body like an electric shock. He simply had an urge to hug her tightly and let her whisper into his ears with that voice.
However, every time Apas talked to him like that, it meant that she was up to something!
âWhat is it?â Mo Fan asked quickly.
âOne of the guys was having very strong thoughts about me... if Iâm not mistaken, he might have started asking about me and is trying to find out how I am related to you as soon as we left. He will look for a chance to get close to me at all costs,â Apas said.
âHow could I not notice it as a man? That Zu Kuangliâs eyes were about to pounce at you!â Mo Fan said.
âI wasnât referring to him!â Apas smiled, which soon turned into a cunning and seductive grin.
