"Hm? Aili? What's wrong with Aili?"
"Nothing, she played too hard and is just a bit exhausted."
"Oh, as long as she's okay."
"I'll take her back to the room first."
"Alright, thank you."
Finally, there was a kiss.
Xiaofan eventually gave it to her, perhaps because she was soone who had sacrificed in this plan, Xiaofan felt a bit apologetic.
Xiaofan intended the kiss to be perfunctory, but Aili was unexpectedly passionate.
She ended up fainting.
Perhaps it was due to the residual effects of the drug; the excitent triggered an adverse reaction.
After sending Aili back to her room, Xiaofan tucked her in.
"Black Mantis, don't go, okay? Stay..."
As Xiaofan was getting up, Aili mumbled so dreamy words.
Faced with this feeling devoid of genuine emotion, Xiaofan now found it hard to remain carefree.
Playing along for the sake of appearances was sothing he truly couldn't manage.
Quietly rising, Xiaofan left Aili's room. Once he departed, Lone Wolf would be as before; she's still the young lady of Lone Wolf, while he remained Ye Xiaofan.
After leaving Aili's room, Xiaofan headed straight to the Wolf King's study.
Their first eting was in this study; back then, Xiaofan only intended to take the Wolf King's head, but unexpectedly, today he's on the path of being a cooperative partner.
Fortunately, the entire plan was executed very successfully.
"My granddaughter is indeed spoiled by at tis." Upon Xiaofan's entry, the Wolf King's first words concerned his granddaughter.
"She is a good girl."
"It seems like you two had a pleasant ti together tonight."
"It was alright."
"That's good. If the two of you have more opportunities to interact, you might find signing that agreent isn't difficult at all."
"We are leaving tomorrow."
"Hm?"
Leaving tomorrow. The timing was two days ahead of schedule, which took the Wolf King by surprise as he looked at Xiaofan.
"Why so sudden? Wasn't it agreed I would make the arrangents?"
"Ah, a sudden change in plan."
"Because of the Federation Bureau."
"Sort of."
Talking to the Wolf King was genuinely relaxed; he saw through many hidden truths.
Previously, the Federation Bureau's offer to Xiaofan seed friendly, but from the start, they intended to target Xiaofan.
Of course, even if they offered Xiaofan so benefits at the end, Xiaofan couldn't fully trust the Federation Bureau. Just like how he didn't completely trust the Wolf King.
While the Wolf King had no malice towards Xiaofan, and he could personally vouch for that, words alone were futile; Xiaofan would inevitably take actions that ensured his full peace of mind if he were even slightly uneasy.
Federation Bureau people would undoubtedly keep a close eye on Xiaofan's movents near Lone Wolf; although the Wolf King could get them new passports, if the Federation Bureau discovered and acted against Xiaofan on the plane, it would be impossible to guard against.
After all, M Country might sacrifice an entire plane's passengers to kill a Black Mantis. Xiaofan had long seen through the covetous nature of this country.
"Ah, Black Mantis, I have one last request for you."
A request? The Wolf King had such a tone in addressing Xiaofan, like a venerable elder.
"Please, go ahead."
"I understand Aili's personality, in the future... don't bully her..."
"..." Xiaofan was silent.
This matter was difficult to promise.
What the Wolf King referred to as Aili's personality was essentially between Xiaofan and Aili; aning once Aili decided on soone, it would be hard for her to give up, hence he hoped Xiaofan would take more care of her going forward.
But this contradicted Xiaofan's original intention.
The sky gradually brightened.
After packing a simple luggage, Xiaofan and the other three left Lone Wolf together.
No one ca to see them off; besides the Wolf King, even Black Wolf and White Wolf didn't know Xiaofan and the others were leaving today.
Groggily, Aili awoke from her bed.
Watching the sunshine outside the window, Aili's mind was briefly blank.
Her clothes were from last night; she hadn't changed into sleepwear. What happened last night...?
Oh, yes. She drugged Black Mantis, yet ironically fell into a trap herself. However, he ultimately kissed her, and then inexplicably she fainted.
So, he must've brought her back.
Recalling last night's events, a gentle sweetness surfaced on Aili's face.
After getting out of bed, she promptly freshened up, changed into clean clothes, and hopped towards Black Mantis's room.
However, no one was in the room. Both rooms were tidily packed.
"Grandpa, Grandpa, where's Black Mantis?"
"Aili."
Rushing to her grandfather's room, she was eager to find out where her fiancé had gone.
"Where did he go?"
"He's left."
"Left?"
"Yes."
"Where did he go?"
"Back to Huaxia, back to where he belongs."
"But, but..."
Her heart felt unwilling; how could this be? They clearly agreed to wait an additional two days, but he left so quietly?
The two of them had just begun progressing; if only those two remaining days...
Indeed, he never belonged here. His appearance was like the wind.
He appeared amidst global attention at her side, and then silently left. Was he rely a passerby? eting such an outstanding person was quite the fortune in itself, let alone possessing him.
Fortunately, he left her with a final kiss. At least, there's a shared mory at the end.
"Aili, are you alright?"
"Did he ntion when he would return to see ?"
"..."
"Oh, I understand. I'll head down first."
"Aili, where are you going?"
"To have breakfast. Grandpa, don't stay up too late recently, pay attention to your health."
As he watched his granddaughter's retreating figure, the Wolf King sighed heavily.
The appearance of Black Mantis not only reversed the impending crisis of Lone Wolf but also safely brought Aili back. Now, with Black Mantis gone, Lone Wolf was on the rise, and Aili stood well before him, but... her heart seed to have already gone away with that man. Fortunately, Black Mantis nodded at his request. He hoped Aili would find warm arms to rely on in the future.
anwhile, in Japan.
"Report."
"Co in."
"Sect Leader, we just received a suspected photo of Black Mantis from M Country."
"Hm? Where? Bring it here." Lingze's expression instantly changed upon hearing.
The reporting man imdiately brought a tablet to Lingze and enlarged a photo captured in a bar last night before Lingze.
