Chapter 329: Honey

"Sir, Miss Cleo is here with Mr. Chu from the Main Branch of the Chu family as Boss Q and Lyca Huang's representative." The attendant said whispered. "They were able to provide the invitation and Santa was following them so I had to let them in."

Olfan narrowed his eyes, his usually calm face turned dark. "Invite them here." While Lord Olfan could see them, Cleo and Chu Nan cannot actually see him through the bulletproofed room that he was in. This room was located on the second floor just across the stairs, giving Lord Olfan a way to secretly look at everyone.

"You — Why would you invite that woman here?" The man sitting next to Wei Yimu immediately reacted. As someone who had worked with Olfan for years, he naturally knew Olfan's history with this woman! He glared at Cleo. "This woman is still alive, thanks to you. If she was my woman, I would have killed her after running away like that!"

"Well, she wasn't." Lord Olfan snapped back. "And she is alive, not because I want to. But because she was really good at hiding."

"You knew that she was with Shen Qui! Why didn't you kill her?"

"And risk them causing trouble in my territory?" Lord Olfan retorted. "Killing that woman while she was working with another leader is a provocation to the leader. Why would Lord Olfan do that? Both Cleo and Shen Qui are not worth it!

Slowly, the door was opened and Chu Nan walked in. Cleo was still holding his arm. "Lord Olfan…" Despite the smile on Chu Nan's face, the expression in his eyes was actually… blank. "Happy birthday, I am here as Lyca Huang's representative. I hope you don't mind."

"Mr. Chu is too polite. Please take a seat," Lord Olfan gestured him to the vacant couch to his right. This room was not that big, and it was only surrounded by a variety of couches. A glass table can be seen in the middle of the couches. It was full of various beverages.

"Ah, also… this is the gift that Miss Huang and Mr. Shen especially prepared for you."

Lord Olfan lifted an eyebrow as he eyed the box. "They heard that you like horses so… she went to the north and requested the Chu Family to create a small horse using a rare material." He smiled as Lord Olfan opened the box. Inside the box was indeed a horse. It was red and was about the size of a toddler's palm.

"Exquisite," Lord Olfan smiled. "This is very precious. Please tell them that I like the gift."

Chu Nan nodded while cursing inwardly. Gift? What gift!? This was his horse! Lyca actually had the guts to tell him that she would borrow it just for this occasion! Yes, she told him! She wasn't asking for his permission, she just directly told him what she planned to do.

While infuriated, Chu Nan had no choice. He agreed when Lyca told him that she will give him a formula of a poison that is so potent it could kill people in seconds!

"Of course," Chu Nan said.

"Mr. Chu is from the Main Branch of the Chu Family, yes?" The man next to Wei Yimu said. "Ah, where are my manners? I forgot to introduce myself. I am called Fu Su from the Fu Family in Aiba Region."

"Oh, I haven't heard of any Fu Family in that Region." Chu Nan smiled. "Nice to meet you, Mr. Fu, I am Chu Nan. I am from the Main Branch of the Chu Family."

The man scowled when he heard Chu Nan's words. Still, he pretended that the insult didn't affect him as he smiled, "I see. How about this lady sitting next to you?"

"This… This is my girlfriend. Cleo. Honey, why don't you say hi to everyone?" His tone was gentle, soft even. However, it only made Yu Su and Lord Olfan more and more irritated.

"Hi, everyone. I am Cleo Stevens." A beautiful smiled bloomed on her face as she shyly glanced at Chu Nan.

"You — You are his girlfriend?" Yu Su was about to laugh out loud and say some insulting words towards Cleo when Lord Olfan cleared his throat. It was enough to stop him.

"Interesting," Lord Olfan said.

"Isn't it?" Chu Nan chuckled and looked at Cleo. "We are a match made in heaven." Of course, he actually meant hell. How could he, a police officer, become compatible with a professional thief?

"Stop saying things like that. You are making me shy." Cleo playfully pinched his arm and lowered her head, her ears already turned scarlet.

"Then… that is good," Lord Olfan uttered. He clenched his jaw and finished the whiskey in his hand. "The Chu Family… Is in Ath Province, may I know why Mr. Chu is in this part of the country? Was it for business? If it was, then I have a few businesses of my own. Would you be interested in some collaboration?"

"No." Chu Nan smiled and poured some champagne for Cleo. "I am not here for business."

"Really?" Su Yu asked. "Then… are you perhaps here for Miss Stevens?"

"Of course, I am here to visit her and have some fun. It's been some time since we saw each other. Isn't that right, honey?"

"Right," Cleo's eyes were sparkling. Actually, she didn't know she could act this well until she saw Lord Olfan. Right now, there was no anger in Cleo's heart. No more regrets. No more blaming. There was only the urge to make the man irritated. Since Cleo didn't have the capability to kill him, then she would disgust him! Anger him until he collapsed!

Of course, this was only inside her mind. On the outside, Cleo was shyly clutching into her boyfriend's arm, her head lowered as she obediently listened to the conversation inside the room.
