I'm an antique shop owner, so it's reasonable for me to know some magic

Chapter 432 Waiting and Hope

Caius no longer had the aloofness of a vampire royal family. His eyes and expression were like the blond-haired and blue-eyed Lu Fengxian recognizing him as his adoptive father.

The other vampires not far away looked completely devastated, and they opened and closed their mouths but no sound came out.

Liam knew this clearly and was not surprised at all.

When the group of vampires bared their teeth just now, Su Fan had already raised his fingers.

If nothing unexpected happens, these things will be separated from their heads and bodies in the next second.

The blond young man who was their leader made such a statement, saving the time of explanation and saving the lives of everyone. The only thing he sacrificed was his own face.

"Come on this."

Su Fan's tone was quite cold.

These vampires that suck human blood are no different from demons. They are determined to commit murder right after they woke up. If they were not useful later, they would not be able to escape death even if they begged for mercy.

"Three doors have been destroyed, and a vortex has emerged from the ground. Bring your minions and destroy it no matter what the cost."

"clear."

Without any further words, Caius stood up and shook off his cloak.

"Come with me!"

When the other vampires saw Caius dive into the hole first, they looked at each other and followed him in.

They had no idea what had happened during their coma, but the habit of obeying the orders of the master had been deeply engraved in their thinking logic.

"My Lord, why do you do that?"

Jane, the lightest of all vampires, quickly came to Caius and asked about what had just happened.

Not only Jane, but the other vampires were also confused.

Vampires are above mortals, and the Volturi are above all vampires.

Why would Caius, one of the three giants who stood almost at the top of the world in their eyes, bow down to a mere human?
"The mastermind behind your kidnapping was killed by him."

Caius' words made all the vampires silent.

Shock and fear appeared on each of the numb and pale faces.

They fought desperately with those fleshy tentacles, but could only be captured hopelessly. They couldn't even imagine how powerful the mastermind behind the scenes was.

"No wonder..."

The vampires no longer felt resentful and followed Caius obediently, heading deeper underground.

……

"Aren't you worried that they might escape?"

After watching many vampires disappear on the scene, Liam couldn't help but ask Su Fan this.

"They don't seem very loyal."

"It doesn't matter."

Su Fan took a deep breath and said calmly while repairing his injuries.

"As long as the leader Caius knows the pros and cons, he will be the first to deal with the betrayal."

"Why don't you leave quickly?"

Liam felt a lump in his throat and didn't know how to respond.

He also wanted to leave this damn place as soon as possible, but who knew he would meet you two.

What if my rash actions attract the attention of Chen Wujiu, and he takes me away with him before he dies?
"He was already exhausted just now, so it was no problem for you to leave directly. But now it's difficult for you to leave."

Liam was confused by what Su Fan said.

"Why? The fog that blocked the building has been dispelled."

"There is certainly nothing inside the building that would stop you, but the problem is that there are people outside who don't want anyone inside to survive."

"Such a situation can only be achieved through cooperation between the top leaders of human society and Chen Wujiu. The people in the building have long been abandoned."

"These people who were supposed to be used to gain benefits ended up coming back intact, and the ones who suffered were those outside."

"I think the man in the white hood who is here to silence us should be on the way." Hearing this, Liam felt as if all the blood in his body was frozen, his throat was dry, and he couldn't speak.

He just thought that as long as the door was destroyed and the fog dissipated, he could leave this place and escape. Now it seems that he was too presumptuous.

"Excuse me, sir, how can we break the deadlock now?"

Liam knew that he was powerless against the armed police, not to mention that the powerful might send extraordinary people to clear the area.

But now there are still many monsters wreaking havoc in the rear...

"What do you need me to do?"

"Just rest."

Su Fan found a wall that had not completely collapsed, sat down against it, holding Theresa in his arms, without any sense of nervousness at all.

"If the sky falls, there will be someone taller to hold it up. If you go out now, you will be the first to stand out. When the people upstairs break out later, you will follow them. You will be a small shrimp that no one will notice. You can just take advantage of the situation to fish in troubled waters."

You yourself are the highest one.

When Liam saw Su Fan closing his eyes and regulating his breathing, he suppressed his complaints, found a place at a perfect distance, and sat down to rest.

All human wisdom is contained in these four words - "wait" and "hope".

He couldn't help but think of Alexandre Dumas's The Count of Monte Cristo, in which Edmond Dantès was in trouble but did not get anxious, but waited for the right time to act.

Now thinking about it, Su Fan’s suggestion seems to have the same effect.

As expected of him...

While Liam was thinking this, Su Fan was also quickly reviewing the current situation in his mind.

Although the culprit Chen Wujiu is no longer with us, the mess he left behind is still there.

The vortex was not truly destroyed, and the door might be able to regenerate.

He must make sure that everything is settled here before he can leave with peace of mind.

The zombies on the upper level are nothing but a group of irrational beasts. Even if they have the advantage in strength, they will soon be suppressed by demons and humans.

Once the weakest party is eliminated, the remaining two parties will begin a life-and-death struggle.

And this monster that contained them all.

The centipede is dead but not stiff.

Even if the fetus dies in the womb, humans cannot deal with it.

The devil can return to hell, but this is the human world and humans cannot escape it.

As Su Fan was thinking about this, he suddenly felt a little dizzy.

[I think the previous battle took too much energy, and I was tired from thinking and thinking continuously.]

When people lack sleep, their thinking ability will drop significantly. Similarly, when a cultivator's spiritual power and soul power are weak, his extraordinary intelligent brain will also get stuck.

As proof of this, Su Fan's thoughts began to diverge uncontrollably again.

After this is over, I will start training Alice and Ron properly.

The world is getting worse all the time. Some places may be peaceful and harmonious rural towns today, but may turn into a purgatory full of resentful ghosts the next day.

Their strength is improving too slowly. It is even a question whether they can protect themselves in the future. How can they help themselves?

Moreover, Su Fan also truly understood what it meant to work alone until death if you can't lead a team.

If he had a reliable assistant, he wouldn't have to run around in this building and do everything himself.

Since he is an assistant, he should be paid.

As for wages, they are based on the five insurances and one fund standards of the previous life, and there is overtime pay for overtime work.

Top-notch and scarce employees naturally deserve higher pay.

After a year of careful management, the antique shop has successfully turned losses into profits.

Nowadays, it's rare to find a boss like me who is both capable and conscientious...
