I'm an antique shop owner, so it's reasonable for me to know some magic

Chapter 452

"it hurts."

Theresa's forehead wasn't made of iron after all.

Already swollen from hitting the wall, the pain from being punched twice more sent a jolt through his soul, instantly bringing tears to his eyes.

However, this did manage to calm his mind, which had been unable to think due to shyness, down a bit, and he fell into distress again.

The genuine emotions expressed at the time may have been viewed by Su Fan himself as having impure motives.

He had just mentioned that he had little attachment to or love for this world, and then immediately threw himself into its arms.

It feels like those female spies in movies and TV shows who use clumsy honey traps.

The troublesome thing about misunderstandings is that explaining yourself can be seen as a cover-up by the party who is misunderstanding you.

What should I do... Waaah...

What? You're asking how nuns who live in the Vatican and are not allowed to have contact with worldly affairs watch movies and TV?

Theresa didn't know about these details.

……

The possibility of using a honey trap is nonexistent.

Su Fan knew very well what was going on.

Although the Romanian village girl has acquired considerable knowledge through her studies, she is still quite naive in this regard.

At least subjectively, she did not have the intention of seducing him or making him want to stay in this world.

As for the Vatican, that's unlikely too.

Sacrificing a super potential candidate with saintly blood, who could even become a saintess of the papacy, to win him over is far too high a price to pay.

Judging from Bishop Fergus's reaction, the Vatican's response was closer to "since things have come to this point, we might as well do a favor."

However, this favor was given so cleverly that it made people suspect it might be a honey trap.

Su Fan put down his teacup.

Cultivating the Tao is cultivating the mind and body.

Needless to say, Su Fan's body has undergone tremendous changes since last year.

Although it is still made of flesh and blood, its strength far surpasses that of steel.

Su Fan has also made significant progress in his temperament.

No matter the situation, remain calm and never let emotions override reason.

But is that right?

Su Fan lowered his eyelids, recalling the scene before the monster made its move.

He wasn't angry about the defamatory questions from the reporters below, but he was still seriously considering whether to single out a few particularly vocal individuals as an example to others.

If this leads worldly people to believe that I can speak recklessly without consequence, that won't do.

It wasn't out of anger, but out of self-interest.

Although he dismissed the idea at the time, Su Fan realized that this aloof and detached indifference had unknowingly seeped into his behavior and thought process.

Is this good or bad?
Is it really the right path to forcibly suppress one's own feelings, detach oneself from the mundane world, and have a heart of stone?

He has not yet found an answer to this question.

but……

The eyelashes that trembled slightly like butterfly wings seem to be right before my eyes.

Looking back now, Theresa's complex, hesitant expression at the time seemed more like one of heartache and worry.

"boss?"

Just then, Alice's voice called from not far away.

"what happened?"

"It's nothing, you just seem to be in a good mood."

Alice watched with great curiosity as Su Fan's lips curled slightly, her inner gossip burning brightly. If they had argued, Su Fan would never have looked like this.

The only possibility is that something substantial happened between the two of them, causing Theresa to flee in embarrassment.

Who would have thought that such a pure and sweet romance could still be found in this day and age?
The American high school campuses in school dramas, which symbolize the beauty and innocence of youth, are actually filled with intense conflict. No one cares whether you are truly in love or not; hormone-fueled young men and women who hit it off are already in bed within a few weeks.

So delicious.

What other inside information is there? Let me see!

Su Fan felt Alice's gaze and shook his head helplessly.

As expected of a character from a female-oriented fantasy novel, her sense of smell in this area is indeed keen.

"Instead of focusing on me, you should think about where the vampire race should go in the future."

Alice was stunned by these words.

"What does this mean? Does it mean another vampire family is trying to challenge the Volturi?"

Why do you believe the mutation will occur internally?

Su Fan took out a book and began to read as he spoke.

"The Volturi adhere to the rule of hiding themselves and avoiding direct conflict with humanity, which is certainly good. However, the world has changed now, with supernatural beings and demons emerging one after another. Even if they want to continue to hide, they will be discovered by humanity."

"What will you do then? Seek refuge in hell?"

"Objectively speaking, this should be the best choice. Because vampires, who feed on blood, are destined to stand on the opposite side of humans."

"However, Hell is chaotic and disorderly, a place where the strong prey on the weak. Vampires, beings with only superpowers but no understanding of the soul or spirit, are simply unable to resist the enslavement of demons."

With just a few casual words, Su Fan revealed the vampires' precarious future.

Unexpectedly, Alice didn't seem to care at all when she heard this.

"This has nothing to do with me."

Upon seeing Su Fan raise an eyebrow, she came over and sat down cross-legged in front of him.

"Anyway, Edward and the others won't go looking for demons."

"The entire vampire race has at least a hundred thousand members, if not a million. Their fate should be decided by themselves."

Even if we know the future now, what good will it do? Even if I reveal all the possible scenarios of the future, they still won't make the most appropriate choice.

You, who are good at divination, should know this very well.

Not everyone is as rational as you, my boss.

"Furthermore, I am now your employee, and ensuring the personal safety of my employees is a basic responsibility of the boss."

"You think you're all set? What if I suffer a crushing defeat at the hands of some unknown force in the future? What will you do then?"

"What else can we do? Die together."

Alice lay sprawled on the coffee table in front of Su Fan, looking like she had given up on thinking and was ready to throw caution to the wind.

"If you board Noah's Ark, you must be prepared for the ship to sink and you to perish."

Besides, I trust my judgment.

She propped herself up on her arms and pointed to her eyes.

"Don't forget, in front of you is a super stock market guru who has stirred up the market many times. Buffett is just a greenhorn in front of me."

Su Fan nodded upon hearing this.

"Good awareness. In that case, the task of investigating London will be entrusted to you."

"???? I've only been recovering for less than three hours, and you're already making me do things? Don't you have any conscience?"

"The capital market has no conscience. And I'm not asking you to start working right now because you're not ready for the job."

Su Fan raised his hand, and a thick book emerged from the ripples.

"First, finish reading these books on mysticism. This amount of knowledge isn't much for a vampire. Give me a report in 24 hours."
