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

Chapter 498

"Isn't this workload a bit too much?"

Jamie asked the question.

“The population census in Britain is not frequent and not very intensive. In addition, the recent war outside has led to a constant influx of refugees, which has greatly increased the difficulty of the census.”

"Just use it as a reference."

This time, it wasn't Su Fan who spoke, but Alice.

"This isn't about 'finding your kind' but about 'finding your differences.' People who suddenly appear out of nowhere in society can't possibly have perfect paperwork. Besides, this is in a sparsely populated border region... It shouldn't be a big problem."

"Even among vampires, I'm considered one of the smartest."

When Theresa heard Alice's confident declaration, she exclaimed "Oh!" and clapped softly.

"As the store manager, I know my employees' abilities better than anyone, which is why I'm confident in entrusting this task to you."

Alice is a rare and outstanding talent who has mastered the history and origins of many ancient artifacts from Eastern countries in a short period of time and managed the store in an orderly manner.

Using profiling and precognition, she can find Tupa hiding in various places in the shortest possible time.

"The first thing to do after finding Tupa is to determine their character."

Su Fan recalled James's struggles and pain, and then continued.

“They were created by evil organizations like Tantra, and they have no choice in their own lives. If they have basic conscience and have not been brainwashed by Tantra, they can be released and dealt with accordingly.”

"There's no need to say more about anything else."

Members brainwashed by cults through special rituals are basically unable to turn back. The only option for dealing with such pests is to eradicate them completely.

"What? Do you think it's too cruel?"

Su Fan noticed that Jamie's expression was strange.

"No, I originally thought Su Fan was going to say that no matter what the other party said, he should just kill them on the spot."

Jamie recalled the many supernatural events he had experienced with Su Fan when he was still in America.

The latter is swift and decisive in dealing with evil spirits and strange phenomena. Anything that dares to stand in his way, whether it is a person or an event, will be eliminated by Su Fan using the simplest and most efficient methods.

Sometimes, even victims who are too foolish will be severely reprimanded or even abandoned.

Jamie's gaze swept over the remaining two people present.

Ron was a subordinate and could not sway the leader Su Fan's mind.

Alice doesn't have a strong sense of hierarchy with Su Fan, but she is content with the harmonious interaction between them and doesn't deliberately try to influence him. There's even a faint sense of madness in them both sinking into depravity.

So all that's left is...

Jamie felt like he understood roughly what was going on.

After thinking it through, he felt only relief.

Ultimately, someone still acted as a link between Su Fan and the mortal world, preventing him from becoming a god who looked down upon the world without joy or sorrow.

After finishing their business, Su Fan and the others chatted about their recent situations.

This unexpected meeting ended with Ron being invited back to the family by Emilia to oversee important matters.

Alice and Jamie also left one after another.

The two had to continue tracking the activities of the esoteric sect, and with time running out and the task heavy, they could not stay any longer.

In the end, only Su Fan and Theresa remained in the entire villa.

"Is it really alright to send only Miss Alice?"

Theresa watched Alice drive away and asked with some concern.

“I know you gave her a lot of talismans to save her life, Su Fan, but being unable to fight back is fatal. She's dealing with a cunning and patient enemy. Once Alice's talismans are all used up…”

"That's something she should handle."

Unlike Theresa, Su Fan seemed more at ease. "Actually, if it weren't for the need to forcefully obtain clues, she could avoid most dangers in the world just by using profiling and precognition."

"But how long can we keep running away? We'll eventually have to face similar situations again."

escape.

He gazed at the city from afar.

Many things can be avoided if you just want to.

He abandoned the lives of everyone in Britain and returned to America with only a few people he knew. Even a powerful enemy like Chen Wujiu would not easily set foot in North America and provoke him.

But such appeasement is nothing more than a slow death.

If the sky falls, someone taller will hold it up. The problem is that, within the scope that Su Fan is currently familiar with, he himself seems to be the tallest one.

Once you become powerful enough, your enemies will not allow you to develop peacefully in a secluded corner.

They will only be at peace if they kill you completely, dismember you, or even grind your bones to dust.

Perhaps from the moment he found the books left by Old Man Su in the antique shop and embarked on the path of cultivation, he was destined to confront those evil spirits.

Su Fan snapped out of his thoughts, turned around and saw that Theresa's worried expression hadn't lessened, and couldn't help but smile.

"Are you saying you're more afraid of the unexpected than the possible? You're worrying like an old mother."

Before Theresa could even get angry, she heard Su Fan continue.

"Don't worry, I've already prepared the insurance plan. Don't you think so?"

His last words were not spoken to Theresa, but he turned to look out the window not far away.

There, a grayish-brown rat cautiously peeked through the crack and quickly darted in front of the two.

"Respected Lord of Storms and Thunder, and Holy Maiden of the Holy See, I, Ethan, extend my sincerest greetings to you."

The mouse lifted its front paws off the ground and bowed in a very proper manner.

This sight was quite unusual for Theresa.

This was the first time she had ever seen such an almost fawning expression on a rat's face.

Moreover, the fact that it could get so close without her noticing meant it was clearly not just a rat she had seen.

It's a... super powerful mouse.

Su Fan was not surprised by the appearance of this rat.

"Has the news spread?"

"Yes, just as you wish."

The mouse nodded repeatedly, then rubbed its front paws nervously.

"So, the deposit that was agreed upon beforehand..."

"Don't worry, I'll mail it to you as soon as I get back to America."

As Su Fan spoke, he lightly tapped the table with his finger.

A cup of hot tea automatically landed in front of Ethan the mouse, who, without any hesitation, immediately enjoyed this special spiritual tea that was priceless outside.

"Who is this……"

"Ethan possesses the abilities of the Flute Player in Fairy Tales. He commands all the rats in London, making him the king of the underworld in Britain. I met him by chance before, and he played a significant role in breaking the gray fog blockade."

"Don't dare, don't dare..."

The mouse waved its paws, looking rather reserved.

"What about the information he mentioned earlier?"

Theresa rested her cheek on her hand and asked curiously.
