Qin Lan thought she wouldn't get any, never expecting this good girl wasn't raised in vain. The last piece was actually offered to her in respect—haha, having a daughter was still the best.
"Daddy, there's no watermelon left." Little Qian Qian looked completely aggrieved, having only eaten two pieces herself.
"None left?" Ling Yun looked over at the table and froze for a moment. He had still underestimated this group of foodies! There was no help for it; it looked like his daughter hadn't had her fill yet either!
When Ling Yun came out of the kitchen again, everyone's eyes were fixed on the watermelon in his tray. It was another huge platter, and this time even Lin Yueyan was puzzled. Where on earth did all this watermelon come from?
"Yay! Daddy, it's watermelon!" The little one clapped her hands and cheered when she saw there was still watermelon.
"Cousin, where did this watermelon come from?" Lin Yueyan finally asked.
"Little Yun, are there still watermelons in the fridge?" Lin Qiuyan was also completely baffled.
"Ling Yun, there's still so much, why didn't you bring it out earlier!" Qin Lan was fuming!
"Brother Yun, I really hand it to you!" Gao Yunjie had never stopped thinking about it! He had assumed such delicious watermelon wouldn't exist anymore, but who could have expected...
"Brother Yun, is there anything besides watermelon?" Jiang Ning obviously didn't know yet how good the watermelon tasted.
"Handsome uncle, is there any watermelon left? I want to carry one back." Beibei thought to herself that yesterday's fruit was praised as delicious by her great-grandfather.
"Beibei, don't make a fuss!" Qin Xianglian scolded. This little girl didn't know any better; how could she just casually ask people for things?
"The watermelon is in the kitchen, sitting in the corner. There are still quite a few left, so Beibei can take one back later oh." Ling Yun wasn't stingy either—it was just a watermelon.
"Everyone come over and try some. The taste is not bad."
"Wow, how can it be this delicious? I actually turned it down just a moment ago. Good thing I'm eating some now."
"Mn, I'm going to go ask Brother Yun later if he still has any watermelon. I want one too."
"Is this even watermelon? Then what on earth was I eating before?"
How could this be? The watermelon had spiritual energy, there was absolutely no mistake. The true qi inside his body had loosened by a fraction, and he felt like he was about to make a breakthrough. Xu Le had a secret: he wasn't an ancient martial artist, but a cultivator. He had accidentally obtained a fragmentary cultivation manual once, so his sensitivity to spiritual energy was extremely strong!
As long as he had three more watermelons, he would have complete certainty of breaking through to the Xiantian late stage. Looking at the piece of watermelon in his hand, he knew that was impossible to achieve—how could such a precious watermelon possibly be given to him? However, Ling Yun's next words shocked him right out of his wits. Damn it, there was more?! And he was actually giving it to Beibei to take home! Xu Le's heart was bleeding.
There were still so many pieces of watermelon here; he was going to use his life's greatest strength to finish them all. Image? Once it was gone, it was gone. Mn, there was also roasted meat, he had to eat that too. Not eating it was like missing out—take that for scaring him just now, you jerk!
Good heavens, this roasted meat also had spiritual energy! Xu Le was utterly shocked, completely taken aback. This fellow was shrouded in mystery everywhere he went; he would eat as much as there was, regardless of where it came from.
This roasted meat was of course not ordinary; it was monster meat raised in the spiritual energy space, though they were all low-level ones. This meat was beneficial to both martial artists and cultivators.
Across the villa in the woods, up in a tree, a man was looking through binoculars while making a phone call.
"Hello, Lord Bishop, today the target isn't going out. The whole family is having a party."
"Understood, keep watching."
Baruda hadn't expected the Dragon Group and National Security to be so rigorous. There were quite a few experts lying in ambush around the villa complex, leaving him with no way to make a move.
"Wait, Lord Bishop, I've thought of an idea."
"Speak."
"Now the target is out in the courtyard, so there definitely won't be many people inside the villa. Here's what I'm thinking: didn't we scout out the whereabouts of Scarlet's third batch of members last night? It just so happens to be led by Amak!"
"You're saying we should have Amak help us steal it? Would that even work? How much money will it take for him to agree?"
On the other end of the line, the person was covered in black lines. This bishop had decent strength, but his brain wasn't flexible enough. He hadn't said he was going to ask Amak to steal it! Could he not interrupt? He hadn't finished talking yet.
"Um, Bishop, you misunderstood. I didn't mean that."
"Go to hell, if that's not what you meant then why'd you bring it up?" Baruda had the urge to beat this guy to death.
"Bishop, let me finish. Amak is a guy who cares a lot about his face, and Scarlet's target is also in the courtyard. We can use reverse psychology to provoke him, and it will 100% make him make a move ahead of time. Once he draws away the enemies, or starts a fight, we can exploit the vulnerability and steal the Blue Diamond."
"You're talking about that 2S metal-attribute esper Amak? The one who cares desperately about his face?" Baruda asked uncertainly.
"Yes, that's the Amak. We can find a way to contact him through the hacker Dis and properly egg him on."
"Mn, this method is not bad. We don't have much time left either; the Holy See just sent a message saying that Ouyang Xiu of the Dragon Group has come to Jiangbei. His strength is very formidable, and I'm afraid I might not be a match for him, which would affect our plans."
"Alright, I'll contact Dis immediately."
Before long, a set of numbers appeared on Baruda's phone, and he casually dialed out.
"Hello, who is it?" Amak's lazy voice came through.
"Amak, you really are incompetent. You can't even handle a single kid, cowering like that—you're truly a coward!" Baruda roared into the phone.
"Who are you?"
Amak was furious. This fellow, whoever he was, actually dared to say he was incompetent.
"Are you afraid of the people from Huaxia? Can trash like you even join Scarlet? I really have to doubt Bach's judgment." Baruda continued to disparage him.
"Damn it, who says I'm afraid? I was just getting ready to make a move!"
"Hmph, not afraid? Do you dare come right now? That kid is in District 11, Villa 2403. Do you dare?"
"Dammit, when has Laozi ever been afraid of anyone? Wait for me, I'm coming over right now to wipe her out, regardless of how many Dragon Group people there are." Amak was riled up. That damned fellow actually looked down on him! With that, he slammed his phone down hard.
"Everyone get ready to move with me. Our target is District 11, Villa 2403. This time we will definitely complete the mission. Let me, Amak, win back the glory Scarlet lost!"
