The first thousand one hundred and ninety-seven chapters
There were only four people left in the hall: Ye Fan, Banner, Naya and Duke.
Ye Fan looked at the lost Duke with a half-smile, a sneer on his lips, and did not beat the drowned dog.
He sat on the sofa, lit a cigarette, and said with a smile: "Mr. Banner, I wonder when your family can help me arrange the secret realm spiritual pool?"
Banner was stunned.
It actually only took two days for him to agree to Ye Fan.
At that time, he thought that Ye Fan would investigate for a few days and then handle it when he was ready.
Unexpectedly, Ye Fan would have eliminated the monsters in the castle in just one night.
"Mr. Ye, it takes five days to prepare for the use of the spiritual pool. I will ask you to enter the secret realm after five days. Is that okay?"
"A week?" Ye Fan touched his chin, "That's okay! I haven't been to Europe for a long time, so I just took this opportunity to walk around."
"Yes, yes, it's a rare opportunity!" Banner nodded repeatedly, "It's just that we may not be able to accompany you these days. Why not let Annie be your guide?"
"Whatever." Ye Fan agreed.
At this time, Duke still could not accept the reality that Ye Fan was not dead and that he had solved the troubles of the Gulton family.
He stood in the hall in a daze, watching Ye Fan murmuring incessantly.
Ye Fan asked curiously: "Duke, is there something wrong with you?"
"No...no." Duke's eyes sank slightly and he whispered: "Mr. Ye is indeed China's top master. What so many of us can't solve, you can solve it in three strokes, five divisions and two divisions."
"It's not as easy as you think." Ye Fan shrugged his shoulders and said with a strange smile: "Duke, from your tone before, it seems that you want to see me die in the castle!
I'm just wondering, brother, did I offend you somewhere?"
Duke secretly gritted his teeth, shook his head with a smile on his face, and then said: "Mr. Ye, since you are back safely, I won't disturb your rest.
Uncle, when you go to the castle for inspection, call me and I will go and see what is going on underneath the castle."
"Yeah." Banner waved his hand impatiently, signaling Duke to get out of here.
Now that he saw Duke's face, he wanted to beat him severely.
When the situation was not good for Banner just now, Duke was deliberately disgusting again and again. Now that Ye Fan is back and has solved the monsters in the castle, Duke is still dubious and his expression is very flat.
Damn it, if it weren't for the fact that you are a noble, you would have greeted me with such a loud mouth.
After Duke left, Ye Fan went back to his room and asked Banner to prepare some food.
Banner repeatedly agreed not to be too respectful towards Mark.
Mark had rested for less than an hour when Keni, with four servants and a dining cart, knocked on the door.
Ye Fan only left Keni to wait on him. As soon as the food was placed on the table, he devoured it.
Keni served carefully on the side, fearing that Ye Fan would not be satisfied with the meal.
After dinner, Ye Fan took a nap and then went to visit Benge and others.
Lewis, Jinshan, and Jinmu's injuries are not too serious. They will recover on their own after taking care of them and resting for a while.
It's just that his injuries were more troublesome. Not only his internal organs were injured, but his appearance was also severely damaged.
But he didn't care. Anyway, a warrior's life was strong. As long as he underwent skin grafting surgery, he would be able to return to his original appearance in a short time.
In the evening, after everyone had dinner, the Banner family, led by Ye Fan, returned to the underground secret realm of Gulton Castle.
The tunnels in the underground secret realm are so complicated that even warriors, let alone ordinary people, can easily get lost in them.
Fortunately, Ye Fan and the others had figured out the doorway clearly, and the general direction would not be misremembered.
Everyone walked underground for more than half an hour and arrived at the altar.
Banner took photos to keep as evidence, and then recorded the corpses of the spider monsters and the fighting scenes in the secret realm.
He asked his men to check the secret realm again, and only after confirming that Ye Fan and the others were not deceiving others, he took everyone away.
That night, Banner contacted the count and reported the good news.
The count was overjoyed and praised Banner verbally for more than ten minutes.
Banner was extremely happy, but he behaved very humbly, saying that this was what he should do.
"Okay, okay, Banner, you did a very good job on this matter. By the way, Mr. Ye, please arrange for him to come to my place as soon as possible. I want to see him." The count said with a smile.
Banner said hesitantly: "Father...Mr. Ye, he plans to visit the surrounding countries during the preparation stage of the spiritual pool.
Otherwise, I...I suggest to him that we go to Norway first?"
"Since Mr. Ye plans to travel, don't disturb his enjoyment."
The earl did not insist, but reminded himself: "Mr. Ye is a distinguished guest of our Gulton family. You must arrange for his travel to be smooth and not let others offend him. Do you understand?"
"Father, don't worry, I have asked Annie to accompany me throughout the whole process, and she will make all arrangements." Banner said quickly.
"Anne?" The Earl pondered for a while, then shook his head and said, "Anne is still a child, and not many people in Europe know her.
Let’s do this, I’ll let Duke accompany me. With him here, no one will dare to disturb Mr. Ye!”
"Ah?" Banner was stunned for a moment, "Father, this..."
"What's wrong?" The earl's voice suddenly dropped, "Duke got into trouble? Didn't he also contribute a lot to this operation?"
Obviously, Duke reported to the Earl before Banner, and he must have taken a lot of credit for himself.
However, he didn't try to rob Ye Fan.
After all, the employment contracts of those mercenaries were signed by the earl. As long as he asked a few questions, Benge and others would tell the truth.
Therefore, Duke did not dare to say too much for fear of being exposed.
It doesn't matter if it's some dispensable credit, and no one will quarrel with Duke over such a trivial matter.
Banner guessed Duke's thoughts, sighed in his heart, and replied: "Father, Duke does play a certain role. It's just that... his relationship with Mr. Ye is not very good..."
"Oh?" The Earl was a little surprised, "He and Mr. Ye had a conflict? What kind of conflict?"
Banner was stunned for a moment.
Yes, Duke has been targeting Ye Fan since yesterday, but no one knows the specific reason.
According to Banner's understanding, it was probably because he invited Ye Fan from China, and Duke and himself were fighting for the earl's inheritance, so Ye Fan was targeted by him.
After all, he and I are members of the same family, and we will not quarrel until the last moment.
In this way, Mr. Ye is still his scapegoat!
"Father, it's actually nothing." Banner organized his thoughts and didn't know where to start.
"Since it's nothing, forget it. Duke told me that he and Mr. Ye had certain differences in operational command, and strictly speaking it was not a conflict.
But with such strength at such a young age, Mr. Ye must be arrogant, so I arranged for Duke to entertain him.
Both of them are young people, and their emotions come and go quickly, so they just took this opportunity to resolve the conflict to prevent the misunderstanding from getting deeper."
The count smiled.
Having said that, what else does Banner have to say?
If he denies his father's wishes, he is not thinking about the younger generation in his family, and his father will definitely have objections.
That’s all, Mr. Ye has a lot of prejudice against Duke anyway, let Duke do it on his own!
Well, I have to explain to my daughter later that if Duke takes the opportunity to retaliate against Ye Fan, he must stop it.
No matter how courageous Duke was, he would not attack his own people at this juncture.
As for Ye Fan... Haha, just because you are Duke, you will never be able to get ahead of him!
After Banner hung up the phone, he called his daughter over and explained what the count meant.
Anne was very unhappy.
It's rare for her to be alone with Mark. What's the big deal with a light bulb in the middle?
But grandpa had already made a decision, and she had to accept it.
The next day, Annie knocked on Ye Fan's door early and took her to the airport, heading to the first stop of her carefully prepared travel route.
Paris!
Paris is the romantic capital of the world and also the capital of gourmet food.
In the atmosphere of delicious food and fine wine, her relationship with Ye Fan will surely flourish.
The two boarded the flight to Paris, followed by a livid Duke.
Originally, Duke also prepared a travel itinerary, and Paris was not the first choice, but the last stop.
Moreover, in his plan, he seems to be deliberately staying away from Paris, and even most cities in central France.
According to him, the best things should be saved for last, and the European scenery is the first choice for travelers!
It's a pity that Ye Fan and Anne ignored him at all and headed straight towards Paris.
Duke looked as if he had eaten a piece of shit, and his face was so ugly that he kept chattering along the way, talking about how delicious the food in Paris was, and how the spectacular scenery in other countries was much more meaningful than food.
Ye Fan was not very suspicious at first, but seeing his appearance, he felt more and more that he was doing something fishy.
It's not that far from Italy to Paris, it only takes two hours to fly.
When in Paris, the favorite place for women to go is of course the Champs Elysées.
It has to be said that the Champs Elysées is the most beautiful street in Paris.
Because it is not only one of the oldest streets in France, but also the fashion center of Paris and a gathering place for internationally renowned brands.
Anne took Ye Fan from the Place de la Concorde to the Arc de Triomphe at Place de Gaulle and took countless photos.
Afterwards, we started walking around from the Arc de Triomphe and walked for most of the day.
Here are the world's largest brand stores and high-end restaurants.
Annie bought many world-famous fashions for Ye Fan. At first, Ye Fan pushed back, but later she bought them directly without any discussion.
For the entire noon and afternoon, Annie estimated that she spent hundreds of thousands of euros.
Both of them had empty hands, and Duke followed behind as a coolie, carrying both hands full.
Fortunately, Duke is also a warrior, otherwise he would definitely be paralyzed from exhaustion.
