Chapter 454: Chapter 454: The Invitation, Well Hidden

The bar’s door bore a sign that read "Closed for Today".

Two Gold Hairpins personally led more than a dozen people to block the entrance.

Sister Phoenix had already made it clear that today, no one was allowed entry.

Not even if it were the great Laozi himself.

Because tonight, the bar belonged to just one person.

In the dimly lit bar, the music was low and soft.

Lin Fan sat at the bar.

His eyes were fixed on the glass in his hand.

The events of today were also a knot in his heart.

Lu Feifei, dressed in a cheongsam, stood inside the bar.

Seeing that Lin Fan was silent, she didn’t speak either.

She just kept refilling the empty glass.

Silent companionship was the best kind.

"Ding-a-ling!"

It wasn’t until the phone rang that Lin Fan’s thoughts were interrupted.

He saw that the incoming call was from Ning Mengyao.

Only then did he press the answer button.

"Darling, Linglong had an incident, I need to stay with her tonight and won’t be coming home."

Ning Mengyao’s voice was low over the phone.

Yang Linglong beside her seemed to have lost her soul.

From frenzy to calm, then to tears all alone.

No matter how much she pleaded, she didn’t utter a word.

"Alright, then take good care of her," Lin Fan replied, all but too willing not to return home.

After a brief chat, he hung up the phone.

"Master, this is a new bottle of wine we’ve just got in the bar. It’s said to have a nice flavor. Want to give it a try?"

Lu Feifei, sensible as ever, presented a bottle of foreign wine, cradled in her palm.

"Don’t you want to know what’s wrong with me?" Lin Fan asked, perhaps moved to speak by Ning Mengyao’s call.

"If the master wishes to speak, naturally he will. If not, then it is something a servant should not know," replied Lu Feifei.

After placing the empty glass on the bar, Lu Feifei immediately filled it with more wine.

She added ice cubes to the glass and pushed it back in front of Lin Fan.

"Drink with me."

Lin Fan held the cool glass and offered it to Lu Feifei.

She immediately took her glass, filled it as well, and drained it in one gulp after a light clink with his.

After wiping the wine from Lin Fan’s lips with a napkin,

she dabbed her own plump lips and set it aside.

"Sister Phoenix’s lip-soothing napkins would probably start a fight if they were available elsewhere. It’s hard to follow me without title or recognition. I’ve wronged you," Lin Fan said with a smile, picking up the napkin.

Looking at the little red marks on it,

considering Phoenix’s status and beauty today,

she was the object of many men’s midnight reveries.

"To follow someone else would have been the real disservice. Not to mention the great kindness you have shown me, Master, which I can never repay. To be able to remain by the side of a man like you is true happiness," Feifei said.

A flush of rosy color tinged Lu Feifei’s rounded cheeks after a drink.

The mature aura and graceful figure exuded the ultimate seduction of a matron.

Coupled with her pleasing words, they were always able to make men feel exceedingly at ease.

Even surrounded by beauties, Lin Fan had to admit that the charm Lu Feifei possessed was incomparable to the others.

This feeling of being both smart and understanding was truly captivating.

"So, about the business we discussed this noon, how do you think we should go about it?"

With Lu Feifei’s company, Lin Fan was in a great mood.

He caressed her jade-like little hand resting on the bar.

Tonight, he was definitely not going to leave.

"This humble one was just about to tell Master. This afternoon, I’ve already acquired a restaurant. The decorations are brand new, it shut down before opening, and so the price wasn’t steep. The industry is competitive but the threshold is low, and many high-end clients from the bars can give us their support. So running it won’t be a problem—it’s quite a legitimate business."

Lu Feifei once again filled Lin Fan’s glass to the brim.

Then she leaned forward, letting the spring view beneath her neckline present itself before Lin Fan’s eyes.

"Also, I’ve already made contact with that group of people. The leader, known as the ’Lone Wolf,’ has agreed to come with his men to discuss partnership matters tomorrow night. If both parties are satisfied, we should have more than thirty Martial Artists joining our ranks. I’ve also designated a new territory for them to start with some security work."

"You’re still as efficient as ever in getting things done."

He pinched Lu Feifei’s nose playfully.

Lin Fan had really not expected her to seal the restaurant deal so quickly.

"It’s Master’s command, and I naturally obey. Besides, I’ve had enough of fighting and killing. Being a proprietress wouldn’t be bad at all. At least it’d be the first time in my life doing a legitimate job. The chef team has been found as well. We can serve dishes from all eight major cuisines. I’ve tried the dishes myself and they are really good, so we plan to open formally the day after tomorrow. The invitations were sent out this afternoon, and I’ve specifically reserved one for Master."

Lu Feifei definitely had a do-it-now character.

It was just an afternoon.

Yet she managed to sort out the whole restaurant business.

"Oh, even I have an invitation? Then I must see what this invitation looks like."

Watching Lu Feifei’s charming smile.

Lin Fan knew that this so-called invitation was no ordinary one.

She walked out from behind the bar with a smile brimming with meaning.

And took a seat on the high stool beside Lin Fan.

"This invitation prepared for Master, Master has to come get it personally."

Lu Feifei took Lin Fan’s hand and placed it on her snow-white thigh.

That enticing smile and smooth touch.

Made Lin Fan feel a fire burning inside him.

"Alright, then I’ll get it myself."

The cheongsam was long, but it had slits.

Lin Fan’s hand glided up from her jade-like calf.

"Master, go a bit further in... the invitation is hidden a bit deep."

Lu Feifei gazed at Lin Fan with a breath as soft as orchids.

Her eyes, nearly dripping with water, were filled with endless affection.

At the same time, she didn’t forget to lean close to Lin Fan’s ear and whisper seductively, "Master... there’s a golden hairpin on the door outside. Tonight... this bar is all yours... Take as long as you want!"

......

The same night, some rejoiced while others were distressed.

Hino Hiroshi walked solemnly into his hidden chamber.

Upon seeing his return, the woman dressed in a leather skirt immediately knelt to the ground.

After respectfully removing his shoes and socks, she followed him into the chamber.

"Bring me Lin Fan’s Crystal Ball!"

Hino Hiroshi, who plopped down on the couch, was already harboring a murderous intent.

As the woman handed over the Crystal Ball to him.

He looked at Lin Fan’s image sitting on the couch within the Crystal Ball.

His bloodshot eyes were filled with cold sharpness,

"You nearly destroyed the Saintess, so don’t blame me for being unsympathetic now!"

Hino Hiroshi raised the Crystal Ball high.

All he needed to do was smash it, and the curse would be activated.

No matter where Lin Fan hid, he would be attacked by the spirit.

But after much contemplation, he slowly lowered it.

"Senior Brother, do you need my assistance?"

The woman looked at Hino Hiroshi, puzzled.

He, however, shook his head.

"He almost ruined my painstakingly prepared plans, so I won’t let him die where I can’t see him. I want to watch him be torn to pieces by the Eight-Headed Serpent myself, to quell the hatred in my heart!"
