Qiao Yi Fei looked at Lin Fan with a look on her face that showed that she clearly doubted this, but she didn't say anything in response.

After all, the amount of times that Lin Fan had proved her wrong was already hard to count, so she had instinctively started developing a sense of trust towards him. She even trusted him when there was no evidence that showed that she should trust him.

So after a moment of silence, Lin Fan called Mo Ze Chen over for Qiao Yi Fei.

Mo Ze Chen was confused on why Lin Fan called him over, but after the situation was explained to him, he couldn't help revealing a shocked look.

After standing there in a daze for a few seconds, he couldn't help giving a gulp and asking, "Boss, are you really telling me to go fight in this tournament? This is a gathering of all the top geniuses of the twelves great factions, shouldn't you be the one that goes instead of me?"

Lin Fan gave a shrug and said, "I've broken through, so I can't go."

Mo Ze Chen revealed the same surprised look as Qiao Yi Fei, but he didn't try to check Lin Fan with his spiritual sense like Qiao Yi Fei had. He was much closer to Lin Fan, so his trust in Lin Fan had already reached the level of blind faith.

If Lin Fan said something, he would believe it.

But Mo Ze Chen still wouldn't give up on this matter yet.

After all, he was someone that didn't specialize in fighting. If he were to go to this tournament, there was no doubt that he would be beaten up by whoever he faced and would be eliminated in the first round.

So why would the boss send him to this meeting?

Could it be that he had done something to anger the boss and he was being sent as a punishment?

So Mo Ze Chen said, "Boss, isn't it better if someone from the Hunters Organization goes instead? They have plenty of people, there's no need for me to go, is there?"

Lin Fan gave Mo Ze Chen the same answer that he had given Qiao Yi Fei, "I have my trump card for you."

Mo Ze Chen was surprised to hear this, but he didn't say anything else after that.

If it was something that the boss was calling a trump card, it should be something that was quite amazing. Since that was the case, there was nothing to worry about.

Mo Ze Chen gave a nod and said, "Alright boss, I trust you."

Lin Fan gave him a nod before turning back to Qiao Yi Fei and saying, "I think that settles it."

Qiao Yi Fei still had a look of doubt on her face, but she didn't say anything else.

After giving a sigh, she also gave a nod and said, "Alright, I'll pass your decision on to grandfather and he'll make the final decision. That should be acceptable, right?"

Lin Fan gave a nod before asking, "When is the tournament?"

Qiao Yi Fei thought about it before saying, "There isn't a set date right now, but based on the information that we've received, they're planning on holding it in around two weeks."

Lin Fan stroked his chin before saying, "That should be enough time for me to whip this fellow into shape."

When Mo Ze Chen heard this, he felt a chill run down his back.

He looked at the smile on Lin Fan's face and felt that he had signed up for something that he would regret.

But still, it was too late for him to back out since everything had been set, so he could only put on a brave look and face what was coming for him.

After that had been settled, Mo Ze Chen immediately went back to where Lulu was standing with one of the ghost girls and started chasing off the men that were trying to get closer to her.

Seeing Mo Ze Chen fighting off the crowd and then flirting with Lulu, Lin Fan couldn't help feeling a trace of sadness that flashed in his eyes.

Qiao Yi Fei who still hadn't left yet saw this and she couldn't help feeling an ache in her heart. She didn't know what it was exactly, but all she knew was that since they came back from the Ancient Era Ruins, she found it hard to look away from Lin Fan when she was with him.

She didn't know what it was, but he almost seemed like he was glowing from time to time.

But when she was about to say something, the door to the back suddenly opened and someone came out that surprised both of the two at the counter.

The figure that came out of the back saw Qiao Yi Fei standing there and then without any hesitation, she came up behind Lin Fan and wrapped her arms around his neck. She leaned in on his back before saying, "I'm back."

Lin Fan was still in a daze when he heard this, but then he revealed a smile and said, "Welcome back."

The person who had come out of the back was Angela.

He didn't know why she was here, but that didn't stop him from feeling happy that she was here.

After all, it really felt like it had been a long time since he had seen her.

Qiao Yi Fei saw the interaction between the two of them and she gave an awkward cough before saying, "Owner Lin, I'll be leaving now."

Lin Fan had completely forgotten that Qiao Yi Fei was still there when he saw Angela coming out and he only noticed her when she spoke up.

He looked at her with a smile and said, "Alright miss Qiao, I'll be waiting to hear from you. I won't send you off."

Qiao Yi Fei cupped her hands to Lin Fan before looking at Angela and then leaving. As she left, she couldn't help feeling a bit of discomfort in her heart.

What she didn't even realize was that she had unknowingly stopped coming to Lin Fan's store just to see Momonga. Even with him sitting in the corner the entire time, she didn't say a single thing to him or even look in his direction…

She didn't know what she was feeling, but she did her best to ignore it.

The most important thing was helping her grandfather with the matter of the tournament.

With this thought in mind, she suppressed the emotions in her heart and left the store without a single look back.

After Qiao Yi Fei was gone, Lin Fan turned his attention back to Angela.

Looking at her, he could see that her face was much better compared to before which soothed his heart. When he had seen her last, her face really had been pale which had filled his heart with pain.

But seeing the way she looked now, he couldn't help smiling as he looked at her.

Angela also smiled as she looked at Lin Fan since it had been a long time since she had seen him as well and she had missed him quite a bit.

After a moment of silence, Lin Fan raised his hand to hold her face as he said, "It really is good to see you again."

Angela just smiled without saying a thing.

Seeing this, Lin Fan started moving in towards her, but before he could do anything, there was a voice that sounded out from behind them along with a cough.

"I'm here too, you know."

Both of them were surprised by this voice, Lin Fan more than Angela since she remembered that she came with someone when this voice rang out.

Lin Fan looked behind Angela to see Yuki standing there by the doorway.

There was a flash of disappointment in his eyes, but that quickly disappeared as he said, "You're here too?"

Yuki could hear the disappointed tone in Lin Fan's voice, but she ignored it as she said with a soft snort, "What? I can't be here?"

Lin Fan revealed a helpless smile as he said, "I never said that."

Yuki ignored Lin Fan and came forward to take Angela by the arm before pulling her away from Lin Fan.

Lin Fan clearly didn't like this, but seeing the helpless smile on Angela's face, he didn't say anything and just gave a helpless smile himself.

He knew that the relationship between these two girls was complicated, but in the end, Yuki's feelings for Angela were sincere. Not to mention that Angela had always wanted to be friends with Yuki to begin with.

So he just let her do what she wanted.

Angela just ignored all of this and asked Lin Fan, "What's been happening recently?"

Lin Fan gave a sigh when he heard this before saying, "It's a long story."

Angela just said with a smile, "We have time."

Lin Fan caught Angela up on everything that she had missed during her time away and then he finally told her about how he was planning on entering Mo Ze Chen into the tournament.

Angela turned to look at Mo Ze Chen before asking, "Do you want help training him?"

Seeing the look in her eyes, even Lin Fan couldn't help feeling sorry for Mo Ze Chen, so he said, "No, I can handle this myself."

Angela looked at Lin Fan, but she gave a nod in the end.

There was a moment of silence that appeared between the two of them before Lin Fan broke that silence by saying, "It really is good that you're back."

Angela just smiled and said, "I'm back."
