Versatile Mage

“Are you sure that’s the case?” Mui Nuxin looked surprised.

Rosie fell into deep thought for a moment before she asked, “Do you have any evidence to support your claim?”

“Our evidence…” 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 girl’s 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.

“You didn’t have any evidence, but you’re fearing the sky is falling! You’re really a busybody!” Zu Kuangli scoffed.

“You can go ahead and ask where they got the Tyrant Titan’s heart from, provided that they are willing to say the truth…” Mo Fan said.

“Even if that’s the case, we aren’t responsible for it, either. Seriously, meeting you here has completely ruined my evening,” Zu Kuangli exclaimed.

“It’s 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. It’s 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,” Leng Qing said, speaking as an Elder of the Enforcement Union. “It’s the reason why we are here today. Leave personal grudges aside, this is a potential threat to the city. Since we don’t have the same concerns, we shall excuse ourselves.”

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 everyone’s reactions.

“Hope you won’t mind if I don’t send you off,” Rosie said. She remained seated.

Mui Nuxin surprisingly rose to her feet and said, “I’ll come with you.”

Zu Kuangli was staring at Apas as she left. He said after some time, “Are we really going to let them leave just like that?”

“We aren’t savages,” Zu Xiangtian watched Mo Fan and the others leave. He said with a grin, “We have many civilized ways to deal with a person.”

“I’m sorry, I didn’t know there was a conflict between you. If I had…” Rosie said apologetically.

“It’s fine, I’ve 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!” Zu Xiangtian declared.

“A guy like that only knows how to please the crowd. He’s nothing apart from having some luck!”

Mui Nuxin followed the three of them out. She said after noticing the weird atmosphere, “I couldn’t even stop you if I tried, so why do you always behave like an ox?”

“There’s no point in hiding,” Mo Fan replied.

“You’ve stated your stance clearly since you’ve come with us. I’m afraid those two aren’t going to treat you nicely.” 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.

“It’s only business. If we can reach a deal, we can be business partners, but if we can’t, it’s not like we are going to fall out with one another right away. Well, I’m more worried that someone might end the cooperation with our Mu Clan in the Kunlun Mountain Range if I don’t come and send him off… in my opinion, he’s the last person whose tail I want to step on,” Mui Nuxin said, looking at Mo Fan with a smile.

“Am I that narrow-minded? If I do so, your sister is going to stab me to death in the middle of the night!” Mo Fan exclaimed.

“You don’t have to send us off. You should go back to them,” Leng Qing said.

Mui Nuxin shook her head and said, “Forget it, I don’t think I will be reaching a deal with them after what happened. There’s no point in me going back. Besides, I haven’t had any time to enjoy myself, even after being here for a few days. I wouldn’t mind following you guys around.”

“Miss Mui Nuxin, we didn’t come here for a vacation. We are worried about the people’s safety,” Mo Fan stated.

“Then allow me to witness your heroic bearing. As the Tyrant Titan’s heart, I might be able to ask someone for help. Give me some time,” Mui Nuxin said.

“That would be doing us a huge favor!”

Mui Nuxin dialed a number and talked on the phone briefly.

She looked at Apas after she was done and asked with glittering eyes,” Mo Fan, you haven’t 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.”

“Oh, 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 she’s 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 lady’s request down…” 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, “So that’s how my sister fell for you?”

“Isn’t that obvious? After we fought one another during the orientation, she quickly found out where I was staying and insisted on being my flatmate!” Mo Fan sighed.

“Mo Fan, I will tell Xinxia everything you just said!” 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!

“(Cough cough) I was just kidding! Aren’t we waiting for her news anyway? Why can’t I fool around to kill some time?” Mo Fan protested.

“Big brother, something caught my attention,” Apas said smoothly.

Apas’ voice was so soothing that it surged through Mo Fan’s 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!

“What is it?” Mo Fan asked quickly.

“One of the guys was having very strong thoughts about me… if I’m 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,” Apas said.

“How could I not notice it as a man? That Zu Kuangli’s eyes were about to pounce at you!” Mo Fan said.

“I wasn’t referring to him!” Apas smiled, which soon turned into a cunning and seductive grin.
