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

Chapter 503

Alice returned to the villa alone, her mind heavy with worries.

That high-performance luxury car didn't show its expected speed at all; it drove slowly, like a decrepit old man who was often lost in thought.

When Jamie went to the police station to report, she was at the door the whole time, but she could hear everything that was happening inside.

After she announced that she had solved the cursed serial murder case, the police officers present did not react as happily as she had expected.

Aside from the officer named Gary, who was on good terms with Benjamin, Alice was annoyed by the private gossip of the others.

"Here they come, trying to steal our jobs."

"If you're so capable, why don't you go to the government? Maybe those officials will give you a sinecure."

"He thinks he can deal with evil spirits? He's all smiles and looks so smug."

"Hey, how can you say that about our 'hero'? He might be the spiritual successor of the Blue Scouts in the comics, contributing his strength to maintain world peace."

"Sigh, if we were going to eliminate the mastermind, why not do it cleanly and efficiently? We even let one of them get away."

"Yes, he even visited the police station, as if he was afraid they wouldn't know he had connections with the police... He can run around everywhere, but we can only stay here. If the enemy retaliates, we'll be the first to suffer."

"Shh, keep your voice down! Can't you see the boss's mouth is practically crooked from grinning? Don't let him hear you, or you'll regret it."

Alice's mind was not as young as her appearance suggested, and she had witnessed the dark side of human society, but she never expected that even at this moment, these people would still be concerned about these things.

They simply felt that letting non-governmental organizations accomplish things would make them seem useless, and they worried about being blamed by their superiors and losing their jobs. However, the fact remains that Jamie helped them solve some difficult and unsolved cases.

If it weren't for the latter's reckless investigation, those idiots in the police station would have been the ones to encounter the cursed female corpse in the future.

I wonder if they'll still be able to utter any sarcastic remarks when they personally face that massive aggregate of resentment.

Jamie, oblivious to the fact that he had taken a bite out of someone else's "cake" and was being resented, was instead basking in the sense of accomplishment and joy of successfully preventing innocent people from being harmed.

I can't think about it anymore; the more I think about it, the angrier I get.

We need to think of something else.

Alice let out a long sigh.

Vampires do not need to breathe, but deep breathing was a way for them to calm their emotions when they were human, and it still has a psychological effect even after they become vampires.

I wonder how Theresa and Sufan are getting along.

The former is as clean as a blank sheet of paper when it comes to relationships; it's impossible for her to engage in shameless interactions with Su Fan as soon as she leaves.

Besides, Su Fan is an emotionally detached person, so he probably wouldn't...

Thinking of this, Theresa suddenly shook her head.

We should not judge people by their appearance, and we should not label or stereotype them.

Perhaps Su Fan would transform into a beast when it's just him and Theresa.

Edward, his younger brother in the Cullen family, is just a seemingly aloof but actually rebellious and brooding brat.

When she met Isabella, she already envisioned the two of them kissing and having sex.

Tsk.

Alice's face was full of disgust when she thought of this.

Vampires don't get tired. As long as they eat about once a month, they can basically continue having sex indefinitely.

When Emmett and Rosalie first got married, they were inseparable for a full ten years, so much so that everyone in their families couldn't stand them anymore and moved to a place two miles away from them.

Immortality obtained through non-normal means has many side effects, and this is one of them.

No matter how long they live, their minds will remain fixed at the moment of transformation.

They know many principles, but that doesn't stop them from being swayed by emotions at crucial moments and making foolish choices.

There is a vast distance between knowing and doing. Alice was lost in thought, yet she drove the car steadily and smoothly.

Before long, they approached the area near the villa.

It was at this moment that Alice's keen hearing once again helped her discover crucial information.

"One more time... I'm exhausted... I can't hear you!"

"No...this is too embarrassing."

"This little difficulty can be overcome easily. You don't want me to keep remembering what happened last time, do you?"

"Well……"

Alice's eyes widened like saucers.

My wild thoughts from before have actually come true, this is really...

In just a moment, Alice's eyes sharpened.

He immediately turned off the car, carefully opened the door, and got out.

To avoid making a sound and alerting the two people inside the villa, she even left the expensive luxury car on the roadside without closing the doors.

She held her breath, suppressing her aura to the limit, and quickly approached the villa.

Even when she sneaked into the haunted warehouse back then, Alice had never been as focused and careful as she was now.

Because she clearly understood the relative importance and urgency of the two.

Being discovered by the cult members would only mean the start of a fight, with opportunities to make a comeback later. But if Su Fan discovers it, the chance to witness this spectacle firsthand will be gone forever.

Alice didn't rush in; instead, she sensed the wind direction and changed her position.

Downwind makes less noise and is faster.

The feet, clad in flat commuter shoes, practically floated across the ground; their efficient and silent movement was so impressive that an unsuspecting observer might mistake them for ghosts.

When she arrived at the floor-to-ceiling window in the villa's living room and cautiously peeked out, she finally saw clearly what was happening inside.

A fair, delicate hand was raised high, and then suddenly made a heart shape with its fingers.

Looking down her arm, you see Theresa's face, which is almost as red as a boiled crab.

"Delicious magic~~"

"The aroma is wonderful!"

Even angels paused as they passed by.

"Heartwarming and healing with love~~~~"

"Beef noodle darling, become delicious now~~"

“Is this okay?”

After making a series of strange movements in front of a bowl of steaming food, Theresa immediately squatted down and buried her face in her hands like an ostrich.

"This is the last time, really the last time, I can't take it anymore..."

Her voice sounded muffled because it was blocked.

Even so, Alice could feel an overwhelming surge of shame.

Su Fan, standing to the side, nodded with considerable satisfaction.

"good."
