"No, of course not. In my heart, you're the most young and beautiful, I can never forget the first ti I saw you..."
With a barrage of cheesy love words, Mr. Smith finally managed to calm his wife's fury.
In that instant, Mr. Smith seed utterly insulted, "How dare you say I'm useless, who was it that begged back then?"
"Well, you did say 'back then'. How about I give you a chance now?"
As she spoke, Mrs. Smith winked charmingly.
Mr. Smith coughed awkwardly, "Uh... well, it's important to keep moving now."
In her youth, Mrs. Smith was noble, elegant, charming, and alluring, a rare beauty indeed.
Even in her older years, she exudes the charm of a mature woman, still dazzlingly beautiful.
As the saying goes, won at thirty are like wolves, at forty like earth.
At Mrs. Smith's age of sitting on the earth, Mr. Smith truly felt powerless.
"Hmph... I knew you couldn't handle it."
Mrs. Smith cast a disdainful glance at her husband.
Pretending to ignore it, Mr. Smith changed the topic, "Honey, I think this might just be a coincidence. How about we change our route at the next exit?"
"Alright. But if we encounter them at the next exit..."
At this point, a cold light flashed in Mrs. Smith's eyes.
"So old, yet still so fiery."
Mr. Smith muttered to himself, then cautiously said, "Best not to cause trouble, that man is no ordinary person, we should avoid provoking him."
Mrs. Smith asked suspiciously, "What makes you say that?"
Mr. Smith pointed to his forehead, seriously saying, "It's my top assassin's intuition."
"Alright. I'll listen to you. Let's hope they don't interfere with our mission."
"We don't lack money, why are we still pushing ourselves so hard? I think you're just unfulfilled, with nowhere to vent your inner fire."
"What did you say..."
Mrs. Smith drove with one hand, while brandishing a black dagger with the other.
"Honey, are you crazy, are you serious? I'll fight you!"
Amidst the clang of tal, the assassin couple began to quarrel fiercely.
...
"Looks like they're about to change their route."
Seeing the flashing turn signals of the car ahead, Alice said regretfully, "I thought we could et them at the next intersection. The Smiths are indeed warm-hearted people."
Ning Fan silently shook his head, "If we really t, who knows what might happen."
Once, twice encounters might be considered coincidences. But if there's a third ti, then it's not so simple.
The journey ahead beca sowhat monotonous.
Looking at the unchanging scenery, Alice no longer held the initial excitent and curiosity. Except for so spirit at supply stops along the way, she appeared carsick and lethargic.
Mary was still the sa, Alice's confidante with whom she shared everything, but when she saw Ning Fan, it was like a mouse eting a cat.
Finally! On the fifth day from departure, the monotonous journey concluded, and the group finally arrived in Nevada.
Gazing at the desert ahead, Bick, who was just listless, joyfully exclaid, "Boss, we're finally here. Ahead is Las Vegas."
The continuous drive, albeit with so rest, was almost too much to handle even for Bick's physical endurance.
Looking at Alice sleeping soundly on his lap, Ning Fan felt both amused and helpless.
Alice truly had no combat experience. Any ordinary Baron or Viscount level Blood Clan mber would be roused by the slightest disturbance.
But Alice, with her Earl level abilities, remained completely oblivious in the car, able to sleep so soundly.
"So carefree!"
Ning Fan shook his head, gently nudging her, "Alice, wake up. We've arrived."
"We've arrived?"
Rubbing her sleepy eyes, Alice's eyes widened the mont she laid eyes on the desert.
"Wonderful. We've finally made it."
Alice chirped excitedly like a sparrow.
Ning Fan sighed, "Yeah, we've finally arrived."
Though they had so rest over the past days, the repetitive monotony of waking up in the car was wearing even on Ning Fan's cultivation-enhanced endurance.
Noticing the visibly worn-out Bick, Ning Fan nodded, "Well done."
Bick chuckled, "This was my duty."
Gazing at the towering skyscrapers, Ning Fan asked, "Alice, what should we do now?"
Regarding matters of Ryan Town, it wasn't convenient for Bick to know. Ning Fan ant whether they should proceed directly to Ryan Town today or stay in Las Vegas for a day.
Alice hesitated, then said, "I'll listen to you."
"Then let's go today."
Having made up his mind, Ning Fan said to Bick, "We have matters to attend to and need to leave for a while."
Bick quickly offered, "Boss, where are you going? I'll take you there."
"No need. Here's so money, have fun here for a few days, then head back to New York, don't wait for us."
"But..."
Seeing Bick's reluctance, Ning Fan said directly, "Alright. It's settled."
Without further ado, he handed over the money, "You go on ahead, don't worry about us."
"Alright, boss, I'll be on my way then."
Watching Bick's reluctant expression, Ning Fan chuckled, "Don't stir up trouble here, have your fun then head back."
"I understand, boss."
Watching the car drive away, Ning Fan asked, "Alice, where do we go now?"
"Uh..."
Alice looked around, then pointed to the left, "Over there."
"Are you sure?"
Ning Fan looked at Alice with doubt written all over his face, a bit worried about this unreliable girl.
"Really, trust !"
"Alright then."
Facing the vast stretch of yellow sand, Ning Fan nodded helplessly.
Anyway, they weren't ordinary people, and wouldn't need to worry about being lost in the desert without water or food for a while.
If it truly ca to that...
Ning Fan glanced at the shopping bags in both hands, sowhat regretting letting Bick leave, or at least, letting him leave the car behind.
The duo didn't enter the city, following Alice's direction. Ryan Town, situated in the Demon Domain, lay northwest of Las Vegas City, about fifty kiloters away.
After walking for over an hour, Ning Fan couldn't bear the slow pace any longer.
Since there was no one around, it would be better to hurry over.
"Alice, hold on tightly."
Ning Fan grabbed Alice's hand, taking off like the wind toward their destination.
Feeling the delicate warmth in his hand, Alice's face turned as red as an apple.
