Bellingjer Family

  Emily glanced at Du Fan, sneered and said: "Even if it is, what can you do? Don't forget, now it's you who are begging me! Begging me to return the evidence of your evil crime to you. I've already been lenient by not pursuing your responsibility for peeping, and now you want me to return your evidence right away?"

  Du Fan hummed, thinking to himself: Who cares about that so-called evidence? If it weren't for another matter, even if you exposed this whole thing, it wouldn't have any impact on me. But now, since you're alone with me, you probably won't have another chance.

  As he thought, Du Fan's gaze swept across Emily's delicate neck, and his heart felt a little pity: such a snowy white neck, when the crimson blood flows on it, will it destroy its perfection?

  Emily felt a chill run down her spine as she met Du Fan's gaze, which seemed to be staring at a corpse. Her body trembled slightly and her legs weakened. Heaven knows why the flashing eyes of this serious-looking man could make people sense killing intent.

  To dispel the unpleasant feeling in her heart, Emily shifted her body awkwardly and continued: "How about it? Will you agree or not? If you help our family get the Mirak medicine today, I might just return your gloves to you out of joy."

  "Are you such a good person?" Du Fan asked Emily with a hint of teasing, "You always mention your family, your family, shouldn't you also tell me which prestigious family in the Imperial City has evidence of my crime?"

  Emily gave Du Fan a strange look, her heart stifling: "Don't you know which family I, Emily, belong to?"

  Du Fan shook his head honestly and said, "To be honest, I don't know. For example, the group of trash in the hall right now, except for a few who have come to my house to flatter me and left an impression on me, I don't recognize anyone else, let alone their identities behind them. As for you, little miss, before this, I didn't have any interest in investigating your background. Although you look okay, it's just okay."

  This bastard was extremely clear when he said the word "big", and his eyes were fixed on Emily's chest, as if he really admired its greatness.

  Emily felt a chill run down her spine as she met Du Fan's gaze, which seemed to see right through her. Under his piercing stare, she felt like a lamb led to the slaughter, and for the first time, she began to regret coming here with this scoundrel. Although she had come to help her family gain an advantage and teach this rascal a lesson, it seemed that he had been in control from the moment they arrived. His faint smile was particularly infuriating, making her want to trample him underfoot and bury him in the garden as fertilizer. Yet, paradoxically, his expression carried a hint of saintliness, evoking a sense of reverence that made her feel like she dared not desecrate it. This contradiction only added fuel to her growing frustration, which was now reaching a boiling point.

  Gritting her teeth in anger, Emily glared at Du Fan and said word by word: "I am the daughter of Duke Belinger."

  She seemed extremely proud of her identity, and Emily puffed out her chest as she spoke.

  "Oh, so she's the Finance Minister's daughter..." Du Fan glanced at her chest and shrugged indifferently.

  Although Du Fan didn't care much about the empire's affairs, at least he still knew that apart from the royal family, there were indeed a few families in the Gawen Empire that couldn't be easily offended, and the Bellinger family was one of them.

  The Bellinger family's influence in the Gavin Empire is deeply rooted, with each generation of patriarchs holding the financial power of the Gavin Empire. This should be impossible in any country, but it is said that the Bellinger family has had a close relationship with the imperial family of the Gavin Empire since ancient times, which is why they have been able to occupy the position of Minister of Finance all along.

  Of course, being able to maintain such a status in the empire for generations, every generation of the Bellinger family is naturally talented and outstanding. If Du Fan didn't remember incorrectly, it seemed that this generation of the Bellinger family had produced an extraordinary person named Oudas.

  The difference with himself lies in the fact that this Orudas has been known as a genius since he was a child, and now, at an age only a few years older than Dufan, he is already a sixth-level knight. Moreover, his father, Duke Belinger, seems to intend to let this rare talent enter the military, so in recent years, Orudas has been wandering around the front lines. With the strong support of his family, it was naturally easy for him to build a series of military achievements, and in just a few years, he went from being an ordinary soldier to becoming a lieutenant colonel. This is already a rare achievement for the Belinger family, which has no power in the military.

  Of course, whether the military elders helped to smooth things over and promote the future heir of the Bellinger family is something that nobody knows.

  In short, considering the status of the Bellinger family, if they want to get their hands on the Miraculous Medicine, there are hardly a few people in the entire Imperial City who can compete with them.

  But it's not like they have no chance at all, for example if the Prime Minister of the Empire wants to help his useless grandsons or the Minister of Military Affairs wants to turn his granddaughter into a strong woman, then the Bellinger family can't guarantee a 90% success rate.

  Of course, to some extent, the Green family also had the opportunity to obtain the Miraculous Medicine, after all, the tens of thousands of troops under the command of Old Duke Green were there, and the second-in-command of the military was not someone who could be ignored.

  But for Du Fan, he is now considering a different kind of complicated problem, he rubbed his temples with a headache, feeling depressed to the extreme.

  It's obvious that since Miss Emily is now appearing here, if it's said that Duke Belinger knows nothing about this matter, Dufan would rather die than believe it.

  Of course, Duke Burlinger must also be aware that even if Dufan obeys under Emily's threat, it is unlikely to bring any benefits to the Burlinger family. After all, Dufan's identity is there, the most useless third young master of the Green family, one of a large group of white-robed priests. This kind of person may still have some use for other small nobles, but for the Burlinger family, even if they are useful, it is likely to be barely so.

  Moreover, getting on the wrong side of the Green family over such a trivial matter would not be in the interests of the Bellinger family. Therefore, it is likely that Duke Bellinger had Emily Miss try to blackmail them with an ulterior motive. After all, if she succeeded, there would be no need for further discussion, and the combined forces of the two families could easily obtain the Mirak medicine sent by the imperial family. And if she failed, as long as it was explained that it was just a young girl's whim, the relationship between the two families would not be greatly affected.

  In less than a moment, Du Fan had analyzed the situation inside and out, and immediately grasped the core of the event: as long as he settled this Emily Miss, the Bellinger family would absolutely not entangle themselves with him over this matter.

  But after figuring out Emily's identity, Du Fan started to feel a bit of a headache.

  Originally, according to his idea, if this Emily was just a young lady from an ordinary noble family, then he would use the Spirit Speech to kill her directly here, get the glove back, and then find some excuse to cover up her death.

  But now that he understood Emily's identity, Du Fan knew that no matter what, he couldn't do it. If he really took out Little Sister Emily, the Bellinger family would absolutely not let him off easy.

  "Listen, Emily, I'll be honest with you, there's no way I can help you get the Miraculous Medicine. But if it's something else, I might consider it. After all, I'm determined to get that medicine today, and I'm sure you don't think I'd give it up just because you've got a bit of leverage on me, do you? So here's the thing, Emily: even though your family may not have taught you this when you went out, I'll tell you something - sometimes it's better to pretend you didn't see something. Making a big deal out of this won't do either of us any good. Let's just leave it at that for today, and you should think carefully about what you want to do next."

  As he spoke, Du Fan tapped the table and stood up. In his mind, he had already begun to think of another way to get Emily to return the gloves quietly, provided that she hadn't told anyone about it yet.

  Emily stared at Du Fan with a dazed expression and said: "Du Fan, aren't you afraid that I'll tell others about this?"

  "Why should I be afraid?" Du Fan shook his head, "When I didn't understand your identity, I might have been afraid, but now that I know who you are, I'm naturally clear. Even if you want to spread this matter out, your father probably won't let you do so foolishly, because he understands more than you do in his heart. I, Du Fan, may be just a white-robed priest on the surface, but don't forget that I am also the third young master of the Green family! Even if my position within the family is lowly, my father will not watch as his son's reputation is ruined by a woman. You say, isn't that right?"

  As he spoke, Du Fan seemed to be holding back a smile, his eyes scanning Emily's chest: "Indeed, big-breasted and brainless... the ancients were not deceiving me..."

  After finishing speaking, Du Fan suddenly turned around and walked towards the direction of the door.
