1628 Stumbling into Old Enemies in a Foreign Country (1/2)

Edited by Aelryinth

The Berlens were a relatively new renowned clan in Greece. They had risen abruptly in recent years, managed by a woman from a small family that people had almost forgotten. To Mo Fan's surprise, the reflexology center that Zhao Manyan and him visited was owned by the Berlens.

Every renowned clan that rose quickly would normally have a legendary member who had attracted many Mages to join them. It would also gather others with the same surname into their clan, but the Berlens were slightly different, as they did not care much about their surname. Therefore, the clan's members had different surnames!

”I met her twice. She's indeed an impressive person. By the way, she's a beauty too,” Leng Qing informed them.

”Good to know, it's easier for a man like me to come to terms with a beautiful lady,” Mo Fan said shamelessly. He then pointed at Apas and added, ”See, even such a good-looking angel was conquered by my charm. Right, Apas?”

”Hehe...” Apas laughed half-heartedly, a strong disdain in her eyes.

Leng Qing was amused by the brief exchange between them as they waited before the door to the manor. It opened soon.

”Please inform your head that Leng Qing from China's Magic City is here,” Leng Qing said.

”Yes, Madam. Please wait here for the time being,” the tuxedoed butler nodded.

They did not wait for too long. The butler ushered them to a garden full of fragrant blue flowers. The garden was delicately decorated, with a man-made pond at the center. It was perfectly clear, like a huge blue gem embedded in the garden.

There was a building beside the lake, and a glass corridor extended out across the lake from it. On the lake were a few white pavilions with dining tables and chairs. The woman who was the head of the clan was seated in the main pavilion, waiting for her sudden guests.

”What's going on here? Aren't we just paying her a visit? Why did it feel like...we are attending a secret date?” Mo Fan was utterly confused.

Leng Qing was very surprised. The dining tables and drinks were clearly prepared in advance, yet they had only waited briefly at the entrance.

”Please follow me,” the butler politely ushered them on.

The three followed the butler to meet the head of the clan. She was indeed a beauty, especially her eyes, which were as blue as the lake, and as gorgeous as the stars. They could sense a unique noble bearing from her even before she spoke.

”Mm?” the head murmured when Leng Qing and the others came closer.

”Rosie!” Leng Qing called out when she noticed the head of the clan seemed a little surprised.

Meanwhile, another butler had brought three Asians to the pavilion. They happened to be coming from the opposite direction.

Rosie was startled, and looked at the other group.

”Leng Qing, you came just in time. I'm about to receive three guests that are also from China's Magic City. I was thinking that since you are all from the same place, it would be easier for us to get along. Do you mind?” Rosie did not let the butler finish the sentence. She rose to her feet and walked up to Leng Qing to receive her in person.

Leng Qing already felt a little awkward. It was obvious that the butler had mistaken them for the other group.

Rosie happened to have prepared the place to receive three other guests from China. The butler must have struggled to distinguish between Asian faces. He had assumed Mo Fan and his group were the guests, and therefore immediately ushered them in. However, the other butler happened to be ushering the actual guests that Rosie had invited in right after them.

However, Leng Qing immediately shook off the awkward feeling after hearing Rosie's words.

Rosie invited them to take a seat before heading to the glass corridor to receive the other three important guests.

”I happened to have some guests from the same city as yours today. I've boldly invited them to have dinner with us. I hope you won't mind,” Rosie said with a gentle smile, while nodding at Mo Fan and the others who had taken their seats.

”Why would we? We know you have a lot of connections. We are pleased to meet other young talented Mages too,” the young lady walking ahead of the group said.

The woman had a gentle and soothing voice.

”I don't mind, as long as they aren't irritating,” a handsome man said. He happened to glance at Apas as he finished the sentence. His eyes glittered after seeing Apas's unusual temperament.

Innocent and alluring were opposite traits for a girl, yet he was seeing both traits from Apas. His first impression toward Apas was innocent and pure, yet her skin, body, and eyebrows were surprisingly alluring!

Rosie noticed that the handsome man was not acting friendly, but she had to play the proper hostess under the circumstances.
