When Deke and Old Paul returned to the palace hall, Lin Fan was sitting comfortably on the soft sofa, enjoying the high-end cigar specially supplied by the Child Clan.

Upon seeing Lin Fan again, Deke couldn't help but show a bit of self-mockery, shaking his head with a bitter smile and saying, "How's the taste of the cigar?"

"The taste is pretty good. I guess you can only experience such flavor in your family," Lin Fan said with a light smile, taking a deep breath.

"If you like it, I'll ask Old Paul the butler to fetch you a box later." Deke replied heartily, laughing.

"Offering kindness without cause, either treacherous or thieving! A whole box isn't necessary; I'll just take this pack." Lin Fan picked up the exquisite cigar box from the table, amusingly shaking it in his hand, and then stuffed it into his pocket.

Seeing this, Deke could only laugh. In this world, perhaps only Lin Fan dared to be so carefree in his manor.

"So, tell me, why did you call me here?" Lin Fan asked with a smile while puffing smoke.

"The financial grand event three days later is personally organized by me. I hope you can attend." Deke smiled gracefully.

"Don't worry, since I'm in Paris, I'll definitely come to have some fun at such a grand banquet. But... you must have more than just this trivial matter for calling me here, right? Otherwise, a simple phone call could solve it, and you, Deke the young master, definitely wouldn't send someone to pick me up," Lin Fan said calmly with a smile.

"I really can't keep anything from you."

Deke smiled bitterly, and soon his gaze suddenly turned sharper by three points, saying, "I heard you've already met with the blood tribe people?"

The so-called blood tribe is the vampire clan. They have a beautified name in Europe, but every word carries a bloodthirsty and brutal aura, precisely the blood tribe!

"Killed a few." Lin Fan said casually, as if it was a child's play to him.

"Perfect! I just received news that it's reported some scum of the blood tribe have infiltrated Paris. I hope you can help me clear them out." Deke said with a tone carrying a chilling killing intent.

Hearing this, Lin Fan raised his eyebrows in surprise. Actually, for world-leading powerful conglomerates like the Child Clan, if no one provokes them, they won't easily take the initiative to deal with anyone because fighting incurs costs. For such big families, money is their lifelong pursuit, and they're usually very frugal!

Furthermore, the blood tribe is no ordinary small force. For enemies of this level, if there's no deep-seated hatred, the Child Clan wouldn't take the first strike. But Lin Fan clearly heard some chilling killing intent from Deke!

"Explain the reason first?" Lin Fan asked curiously.

"Do you know about the blood tribe's first entry into the world and killing during World War II?" Deke said in a subdued voice.

"Heard a bit. What's the relation?" Lin Fan asked in confusion.

As far as Lin Fan understood, the Child Clan rose precisely during the World War II period. Could there be some connection between these two forces?

Indeed, Deke's face darkened, revealing a touch of coldness in his eyes, and he said chillingly: "During World War II, exactly when my Child Clan was rising, my uncle was establishing our Child Clan's second base in the United States and encountered interference from the then brutal blood tribe, leading to a war where my uncle died in the United States."

"Over the years, my Child Clan has been searching for the blood tribe's whereabouts. Unfortunately, after World War II ended, the blood tribe suddenly disappeared. This time, the enmity with the blood tribe must come to an end."

Every word from Deke carried a chilling killing intent.

To be honest, this was Lin Fan's first time seeing Deke angry, even when he kidnapped Deke years ago, his disposition remained calm.

"You also know, those monsters of the blood tribe aren't comparable to ordinary people. This is risking one's life; I won't do it!" Lin Fan refused without hesitation.

This guy wasn't offering any benefits but letting me risk my life. Lin Fan wouldn't do such foolish things. Besides, in case of being injured during the battle with the blood tribe, my limbs or something crucial, then won't my women be lonely for life?

Wars know no mercy; casualties are common!

Deke was stunned, not expecting Lin Fan to refuse so straightforwardly. This was utterly different from Lin Fan's previous image in his mind; put into the past, Lin Fan would have first demanded ****.

Deke sat upright, adopting a business negotiation stance, and said, "What benefits do you want?"

"How much benefit do you think would make me help you clear out the blood tribe infiltrating Paris? Don't forget, unless hitting their vital points, bullets won't harm them, it's damn not fighting but risking life. Life is only one, died means nothing left, there are so many waiting for me to return safely at home, I must be cautious." Lin Fan shrugged with a carefree smile.

"Tyrant, you've changed. Are those women restraining you? The ancients said love is a powerful thing; it can change a person's personality, change their dreams. Seems the saying is true." Deke said with a bitter smile, shaking his head.

"People like us can't guarantee how long we live, moreover, aren't entitled to have love. Since there are women willing to follow us willingly, we must try our utmost to protect them. It's not about dreams, but responsibility!" Lin Fan said solemnly.

Deke was speechless; the words he organized in his mind found, no matter how he rebuts, were weak.

Then, Deke sighed, "I know money doesn't hold much allure to you, what I can offer you is a promise: in my personal name, I am willing to agree to one condition within my ability that lasts for three years!"

Hearing this, Lin Fan couldn't help but raise his eyebrow. Indeed, Deke's condition was extremely tempting, considering Deke's terrifying capabilities as the heir of the Child Clan!

"Is this true?"

Lin Fan asked.

"True!"

Deke nodded affirmatively.

"Alright! I'll try for you, but don't expect too much." Lin Fan first cautioned Deke, lest he mocks him if Lin Fan fails.

"I believe you can do it." Deke's face broke into a bright smile.

Lin Fan reluctantly rolled his eyes, really wondering where this guy's immense trust in him came from. He extinguished the cigar in the ashtray, then didn't stay, rising to walk towards the palace hall's entrance.

However, after walking two steps, Lin Fan patted his forehead, a sudden enlightenment expression, and stopped abruptly, turning to Deke saying, "By the way, help me with a small favor first."

"What favor?" Deke asked curiously.

"There's a Huaxia woman named Gu Qingcheng who wants to participate in the financial grand event. Please help give her an invitation; with your ability, I believe you can find where she is." Lin Fan decided to help Gu Qingcheng with a favor.

"Alright, no problem." Deke smiled.

"Thanks."

Lin Fan smiled carefreely, then turned to walk out of the hall!
