Chapter 131: Chapter 130: Trembling with Fear
"I need your help!" the Shadow Demon Queen said imdiately.
Ye Fan asked, "Help you with what?"
"Help
seize the dark green Crystal Stone!"
"What’s that?" Ye Fan asked. What on earth is this so-called dark green Crystal Stone? Could this be the true reason why the three Kings have all co to Europe?
The Shadow Demon Queen explained, "The dark green Crystal Stone is an Energy Blood Crystal left behind by the Vampire Clan. It’s about to reappear in Europe soon, and many experts will co to fight for it! So, I need your help!"
"But I’m not interested in a treasure like that!" Ye Fan said.
"You must help her!" Su Qingxue interjected.
"Why?"
Ye Fan was speechless. Not only was his own wife not siding with him, but she was actually helping an outsider. He hadn’t expected Su Qingxue to side with an outsider over him. What more could he say?
"Because you owe her," Su Qingxue said. "As a woman, I understand how she feels. You scarred her, both physically and emotionally, so you owe her a great deal. I may not understand the world of Martial Artists, but I know that what you owe her is far more than just this one favor!"
"Whoa, how can you call it physical and emotional scarring? Don’t make things up. She clearly enjoyed it!" Ye Fan said helplessly.
PAH!
PAH!
Ye Fan was left speechless. His words had clearly offended both won. Although ideas about relationships weren’t so conservative in this era, so won still valued their innocence greatly. For won like the Shadow Demon Queen and Su Qingxue, this was a matter of utmost importance. If they could have, they would have beaten Ye Fan to death right then and there.
At this, Ye Fan said helplessly, "Fine, I’ll help you. When do we move?" He knew if he didn’t agree to help, he wouldn’t be able to get out of this.
"In three days," the Shadow Demon Queen told him.
"Great, no problem at all!" Ye Fan replied.
"Get lost!" The Shadow Demon Queen showed him no courtesy. Ye Fan was crushed, but there was nothing to be done. When you make a mistake, you have to bear the heavy consequences.
Then, Ye Fan said to Su Qingxue, "Qingxue, let’s go."
"Hmph! You heartless man!" After learning about Ye Fan’s past actions, Su Qingxue also gave him the cold shoulder, clearly siding with the Shadow Demon Queen.
Just then, the Shadow Demon Queen said, "Thank you." She was thanking Su Qingxue.
"You’re welco," Su Qingxue replied. What was supposed to be a tense kidnapping plot had unexpectedly devolved into a lodramatic soap opera. Did I start this Chapter on the wrong foot? Ye Fan wondered.
After they walked out of the manor, Ye Fan said, "Honey, Europe may seem peaceful on the surface, but it’s actually quite chaotic. You must be careful about everything!"
"I don’t need you to remind . Shouldn’t you be off getting entangled with that foreign woman right now? Why do you care if I live or die!" She was still angry, fuming about Scarlett.
Ye Fan smiled awkwardly. "That... was actually a misunderstanding."
"Hmph!"
The two of them hailed a cab and left. As they drove, Su Qingxue told herself not to be angry. At tomorrow’s fashion show, as long as I can secure a top-ten finish, our fashion line can enter the European market.
She said to Ye Fan, "Tomorrow is the international fashion show. If you dare to be absent, I won’t let you off the hook. This show is crucial for determining if the company can expand its business further in Europe. I’m not counting on you to help ; just staying out of trouble would be enough."
Ye Fan wanted to tell her that although the fashion show was a grand event with over a hundred international companies competing, the ones who truly decided the rankings were just a few people. So, he said, "Alright, no problem!" This ti, I can actually help her. After all, those few judges are my close contacts! If they don’t give Su Qingxue’s company a good ranking, they can just wait to be dealt with!
「The next day」
The venue was bustling, packed with a sea of people and swarming with dia outlets and company representatives. But Su Qingxue was stunned. The seating was so tight that each company was only allowed one attendee. She had originally planned to bring Ye Fan and several company executives! Now, it seed there was no chance of that. Feeling anxious, she had no choice but to bite the bullet and go in alone.
Ye Fan imdiately made a call to Spencer.
Spencer promptly escorted Ye Fan inside, and Ye Fan received exceptionally high-class treatnt—he was seated right next to the judges’ panel. This was a privilege that even the business tycoons present didn’t have.
Of course, a few old acquaintances were nearby. One was the superstar, the Queen of Heaven, Scarlett, whose radiance was destined to captivate. The other was Prince William of England. The man still looked as composed as ever, but Ye Fan knew it was all an act. This guy has the face of a restrained flirt; how could I not know his true character?
Ye Fan was searching for Su Qingxue but couldn’t spot her.
Su Qingxue, however, saw him. She was shocked that Ye Fan had managed to get in and was even sitting next to the judges’ panel. But when she saw Scarlett beside him, she understood. He must have gotten in through his connection with Scarlett. Su Qingxue had always detested that woman, especially since she had taken liberties with her. Seeing Scarlett now just irritated her. However, since Scarlett was one of the judges, she didn’t dare act rashly.
The host on stage was introducing the fashion show, while Ye Fan glanced around, searching for Su Qingxue. He finally spotted her in the center of the semicircular hall, directly opposite him.
He gave her a reassuring look, as if to say, Don’t worry. Not only is Scarlett my connection, but these other two are as well.
However, Scarlett also noticed Su Qingxue and deliberately leaned closer to Ye Fan. Su Qingxue wanted to explode with rage but couldn’t. Scarlett, for her part, enjoyed seeing Su Qingxue’s fuming expression. On the surface, it was a grand event, but beneath, it was a battle between two won.
Many dia outlets and companies were desperate to find out who Ye Fan was. To have even the Queen of Heaven, Scarlett, fall for him—this man was definitely no ordinary person.
Ye Fan then said to the three judges, "Look, I don’t care how you rig it, just make sure the fashion exhibit from the Su family of Divine Land gets first place."
"Boss, that’s cheating," Prince William said with feigned innocence. "I’ve seen her company’s designs. They’d have trouble even making the top twenty. If we just hand them first place, won’t that...?" Wouldn’t the favoritism be too blatant?
Ye Fan countered, "Do you even understand fashion? Fashion is about taking the most unremarkable items and styling them in the most fashionable way."
"In that case, I might be able to help you!" Scarlett said to Ye Fan with a smile.
"You an...?" Ye Fan asked.
"Exactly. I’ve been a model before, and a top one at that. As long as I’m the one wearing her designs, they’re guaranteed to take first place!" Scarlett was brimming with confidence—confidence in herself, not in Su Qingxue’s designs.
"That would be great," Ye Fan said heartily. He had truly worried himself sick over his wife’s career.
However, Scarlett added, "I have one condition: you have to walk the runway with !"
"Is that really a good idea?" Ye Fan said awkwardly. The key issue was his complete lack of experience. Of course, the more terrifying prospect was becoming a global sensation. After all, Scarlett’s international appeal was just too imnse.
"No," Scarlett insisted. "You have to do it!"
"Alright then," Ye Fan agreed with trepidation, steeling himself for what was to co.
