Chapter Eighty-four She was not fourteen years old

  An apartment in downtown New York City.

  Ye Feng and others found Hank's residence in New York according to the information obtained from the phone.

  After confirming that the house number was correct, Ye Feng pressed the doorbell.

  After a while, the gate opened. What made Ye Feng and others astonished was that the one who opened the door was a little girl who looked only thirteen or fourteen years old.

  That was a beautiful girl, looking as if she was somewhat shy. Seeing so many strangers standing at the door, she shrank her body back towards the door and only exposed half of her head. A pair of big, shining eyes blinked repeatedly, with a few parts fear, but more curiosity.

  "Excuse me, is this Mr. Hank's home?" Ye Feng was somewhat skeptical that he had gotten a wrong address.

  "Uncle Hank, there are so many people outside..." The girl ran towards the house, leaving only Ye Feng and his group staring blankly.

  Before long, Hank came out of the room, and the girl carefully held onto his hem, hiding half her body behind him. The onlookers couldn't help but burst into laughter.

  "Welcome!" Hank smiled kindly at Ye Feng and the others, then patted the little girl's head, Luo Li, "Go make some tea for your big brother and sister."

  "Isn't she your daughter?" Zhuge Ling'er couldn't help but ask.

  "No, it's a long story about her. Let's talk about you guys first!" Hank shook his head with a somewhat strange expression.

  He had no idea that this expression caused Ye Feng and others to secretly label him as "Lolita's weird rice ball"

  "It's what we discussed on the phone! We've found the mastermind behind William's murder, a vampire count. He's taken one of my friends and now we need your help!" Ye Feng said with a serious expression.

  "Earl?!" Hank's brow furrowed.

  The indiscriminate slaughter of hunters is a heinous act. As elders of the hunting organization, they have an obligation to stop this behavior and mediate openly. When necessary, force can be used.

  But for now, the situation doesn't look optimistic because the opponent is an Earl. The strength of a Blood Clan's Earl is equivalent to that of a strong practitioner in the Yuan Ying period, and not even one of the several Elders of the Hunters has broken through to the Yuan Ying period yet.

  The hunter's intimidation might not have a good effect on that bloodline earl, which was also the main reason why Hank frowned. He had originally thought that this matter would at most involve a Golden Elixir stage strongman coming out, and he could easily solve the problem himself.

  "That's right, he is an Earl! That's also why we gave up on doing it ourselves, his strength can completely annihilate us." Ye Feng waited for Hank to give an answer.

  "Alright, I'll give it a shot! What kind of outcome are you looking for?" Hank asked, his task being to bring both sides to a common expected value.

  "It's simple, let him go! As for what happened before, we can temporarily not pursue it!" Ye Feng clenched his fists tightly, knowing that this was not the time to be impulsive and he had to make a compromise. "My hatred with him, I will settle with him myself in the future, and he will pay back everything with interest! You just need to let him release my friend!"

  At this time, a little girl named Lori came out of the kitchen and handed cups full of tea to everyone. Then she hid behind Hank again, carefully sizing up Ye Feng's group of uninvited guests with her big, watery eyes.

  "Alright, I'll do my best, but whether he will agree or not, I don't know! I'll try my best to fight for you!" Hank felt that Yefeng had already made a big concession and it wasn't easy. Since he had previously taken the initiative to mediate this matter, at this time he could only try his best not to disappoint Yefeng.

  "Thanks!" Yefeng finally breathed a sigh of relief when Hank agreed.

  "So, let's determine who will participate in the negotiations now! Apart from me and Lori, who are you planning to send?" Hank looked at Ye Feng.

  "Rory? Are you saying that this little guy should go too?" This time it wasn't just Ye Feng, even Long Tian and the others looked at Hank with confusion.

  "Don't joke around, when it's time to get serious and fight, who will have the time to take care of her?" Long Tian furrowed his brow.

  "Hmph... I knew you'd say that," Hank seemed to have seen this kind of situation before, and he just shook his head and chuckled softly. "Among all the people present, including myself, Lori is the strongest in terms of actual strength! Don't let appearances deceive your judgment!"

  "More than 70 years ago, I investigated a case and found Lori who had lost her mind, she crazily slaughtered nearly ten thousand people in a private military base! She was brought back to the Hunter Organization by me and became one of the nominal elders of the Hunters! The reason why she is unwilling to get close to you is not because she is shy or afraid of you. But it's because she is worried that she will accidentally hurt you!"

  "If she loses her mind, she will kill all living things she sees, not even a single ant will be spared! I am her doctor, and it seems that after so many years of treatment, some progress has been made." Hank's explanation left Ye Feng and the others in a petrified state, they had completely misjudged the situation.

  Luo Li forced out a smile that was even uglier than crying, which finally brought Ye Feng and the others back to their senses from their shock.

  "How did you manage that?" Zhuge Ling'er couldn't help but ask.

  "I have a special pair of eyes, the best gift given to me by heaven!" Hank revealed a pleased smile. "These eyes allow me to see through the truth of things and also grant me the ability to create illusory worlds."

  As soon as Hank's voice fell, Ye Feng and others found that in front of them had become a vast ocean. The sound of waves hitting the beach, the salty smell of seawater, seagulls flying in the sky, beautiful women wearing bikinis...

  It was just a snap of fingers, and everyone returned from the beach they were at earlier back to reality.

  "Just now...that..." Ye Feng and others were shocked beyond words.

  "That's right, this is my ability......" Hank winked at Ye Feng. "So I said, I'm not a combat type, and if we really fight, the Long Tian brothers will lose miserably!"

  "Hmm, I have to admit, if you have this ability, I'm completely at a disadvantage." Long Tian shook his head with a bitter smile, "Having an illusion that's almost indistinguishable from reality can always give you the home field advantage, making you unbeatable!"

  "It's not entirely true, for people with spiritual power lower than mine, this technique can be quite effective. However, for those with spiritual power exceeding mine, breaking through the illusion I create will cause me to receive a certain degree of backlash. So when facing truly strong opponents, such petty tricks would only get me killed faster. That's why I said I'm not suited for combat! I have this self-awareness!" Hank spread his hands in exasperation.
