Chapter 865: 863 Chapter: Ignite (37) Chapter 865: 863 Chapter: Ignite (37) Ballard had become the leader of the “Order” faction for a reason.
Facing a team of outsiders with two Divine Envoys, missing them was quite normal.
However, after the mishap, the first thing he thought of was what the outsiders might do if they didn’t leave–traitors are always the most despicable.
As someone who had been successfully persuaded, it was too normal for Xiumeng to hate Fu Qian, who had been “betrayed.”
Therefore, in case the plan was exposed, the likelihood that Xiumeng and his group would stay and try to eliminate the traitors was high.
From the looks of it now, without a word, he immediately led people back.
What followed was undoubtedly securing himself firmly, setting a trap, inviting a guest into the urn.
His response was quite fast, but if he were to use “Blood Conquest” to flee under these circumstances, what impact would that have?
While deeply recognizing his own fate, Fu Qian indulged in his thoughts.
But it was just a thought; he didn’t plan to do that.
What he needed to do now was to change his destiny.
And the first step to changing his destiny was, undoubtedly, to understand it.
Thinking that choosing “no” for all options could lead to a happy end isn’t even as simple in an adult game.
And now, what better way to achieve this than to connect with the indigenous Demigods?
Don’t forget, they can communicate in real-time with Prophet Yuan.
“Me?”
At this moment, Akasha, who was entrusted with this important task, looked at Ballard somewhat surprised.
Her previous behavior clearly had an air of the Ye Gong Haolong proverb.
As an outsider recognized by the Prophet, how could Akasha not feel the danger from Fu Qian?
But in an instant, Ballard’s firm expression gave her the answer that there was no room for negotiation.
“Alright.”
At this point, Akasha didn’t struggle much and turned to look at Fu Qian, her eyebrows raised and eyes smiling in just a second.
“You must behave later.”
“Where are we going?”
Before Fu Qian could reply, she looked at Ballard and asked.
However, faced with this question, Ballard found himself hesitating to answer for a moment.
“We definitely can’t go to a base or anything; that intention is a bit too blatant.”
Faced with this scene, Fu Qian, designated as bait, made a suggestion.
“There seems to be a nice restaurant over here.”
“Seems like there aren’t many customers.”
Not long after, Fu Qian walked into the sparsely populated restaurant and naturally remarked.
Ballard hesitated only for a few seconds before agreeing to his suggestion, deciding to place the house arrest at the restaurant with the beautiful waitress Catherine.
Of course, she was not there now.
“It was a bit lively here at noon…”
Akasha hesitated slightly and ambiguously explained.
“You can tell.”
Sniffing the faint smell of blood in the air, Fu Qian nodded without asking further.
Clearly, the conflict that was supposed to happen had happened, otherwise, Akasha would not have been so cooperative.
But different from last time, it seemed that almost no damage was done to the tables and decorations.
It seemed that without Fu Qian’s interference, Ballard had very much control over the conflict, immediately stopping Catherine the moment she made her move.
“Can we order now?”
Fu Qian even chose the same seat as last time and sat down with Akasha. After a while, someone finally came over to greet them.
This was an elderly gentleman in his fifties, his complexion possibly pale from a previous accident.
Although also dressed appropriately, he clearly couldn’t match up to Catherine.
Of course, if neither had dressed appropriately, Catherine would have outshone him even more.
“What would you like to eat?”
As the lady being asked, Akasha naturally looked towards Fu Qian.
Up until now, she couldn’t understand why this mysterious figure had insisted on dining here.
Considering the need to bait someone into revealing themselves, she naturally understood such behavior.
But, as an outsider, he shouldn’t have been so familiar with this city, so why choose this particular place?
What schemes might he have for her? Given the accident that occurred before, it was hard for her not to overthink.
Of course, she wouldn’t imagine that Fu Qian picked here simply because he thought the flavor was nice.
“Order everything that takes more than five minutes to prepare.”
Fu Qian didn’t even open the menu he was handed, just said it directly.
Was he intentionally extending the mealtime? That was too accommodating!
Akasha, not knowing about Fu Qian’s previous regrets over his meal choices, could only feel that this outsider was genuinely sincere!
“Let’s go with that.”
Facing the old man’s look of confirmation, Akasha nodded and handed the menu back.
Fu Qian’s overly cooperative behavior didn’t make her feel that her mission was easier; rather, it made her feel more somber.
Not to mention whether he had any strange thoughts, even if everything went smoothly, she would be the first to confront the consequences!
If only she hadn’t coveted a taste of better-quality blood, she should have sent Catherine here!
In her melancholy, a sudden chill overcame her, clearing her mind.
Akasha realized something and turned around, unable to hide her surprise the next moment.
“Why are you here?”
“To keep an eye on you.”
Facing Akasha’s question, the Crystal Demigod huffed and entered, then gracefully walked to the table.
“This is important, I don’t trust you can handle this guy!”
That line sounded familiar!
Seeing the Ice Wolf jump unceremoniously onto a seat, Fu Qian recalled the scene where she insisted on following him to the lake.
However, it was clear that, after being rebuked, alongside Akasha’s embarrassment, there was a discernible sigh of relief as if she felt a bit assured.
The relationship between these two was indeed peculiar!
…
“What would you like to eat?”
Fu Qian seemed pleased with this.
Two interrogators were better than one, especially now when he urgently needed feedback, and he wasn’t planning to run anyway.
Even more, there seemed to be some discord between these two, at the right moment, which could mutually confirm the feedback information about Yuan.
But clearly, the Crystal Demigod’s display of disdain for Fu Qian was no less than Akasha’s.
Facing his enthusiastic greeting, she merely glanced at him, too lazy to speak.
Oh…
Realizing something from this posture, Fu Qian assessed her sitting position and the paws that were inconvenient for handling tableware, and the next moment he changed his question knowingly.
“Sorry, what would you like to use to eat?”
The moment the words left his mouth, the temperature in the entire restaurant dropped another ten degrees.
Seeing that the Crystal might any moment leap into action, Akasha looked helplessly at Fu Qian.
“Why don’t you change the subject? I can’t help you if you anger her.”
Change the subject…
Fu Qian seemed contemplative, apparently considering Akasha’s advice, and after a few seconds, looked again at Crystal.
“So, is Akasha the name of your friend, or is it the name of this demigod?”
