Chapter 1351: Unexpected Invitation
Olivier took a deep breath to calm his shocked emotions, then asked, "What about Great Wizard Bebeto? And the others? They couldn't all be dead, could they?"
Ovila didn't speak; instead, he activated the crystal ball again to make another divination.
Once again, a red light flashed, exactly like with Fan Desha earlier.
"Young Master, everyone sent to the Tu Tribe is dead, including the Night Butchers who went to assassinate those Chinese doctors. They are all dead now."
"What? That's impossible, absolutely impossible."
Olivier shook his head repeatedly, his face filled with disbelief. The people he had sent were all powerful figures; he had thought it was foolproof, but they had gone and never returned.
He cried out in frustration, "How did they die?"
"I don't know. My crystal ball can only predict people's fortune or misfortune, but it cannot see what happened in the past."
Ovila shook his head, then sat motionless again by the side.
Olivier was practically fuming. He had originally wanted Ye Bufan to be like the Brown Family, living in constant fear, eventually kneeling and begging him for mercy.
But the idea was beautiful, and reality was cruel. Not a single person he had sent out had returned alive.
The Head of Bodyguards said, "Young Master, what should we do now? Should we send more people to investigate?"
"No need."
Olivier shook his head. Currently, his strongest subordinate was Ovila, but if he sent him out, his own safety would not be guaranteed, which was clearly not what he wanted to see.
If he sent others, their strength would not even compare to Fan Desha and the others before, so it would be useless to send them.
At this moment, he slowly regained his composure and said with a sinister look, "It seems this Chinese person is not as simple as we thought. We need to use some brains to deal with him."
On Ye Bufan's side, Lu Banxia went to work at the company early the next morning. He came to Apple City Plaza to provide free medical consultations with Cao Xinghua and others.
The free medical consultations organized by the World Medical Association had been going on for some time. The delegations from other countries had already withdrawn, and now the only ones remaining were the Chinese doctors.
Ye Bufan's idea was different from others. Chinese medicine was still an unknown entity here, so it was necessary to promote it as much as possible and gain people's acceptance, which was why the free consultations lasted longer.
During this period, the effect of the free consultations was very good. More and more people recognized Chinese medicine, and long queues formed here every day, waiting to be seen.
Ye Bufan was busy here all day. Near evening, Banxia arrived.

"Why are you here?"
Ye Bufan was slightly surprised. Logically, since they now lived in the same manor, they would meet soon anyway, so there was no need for her to come here to find him.
"I came to bring you this."
Lu Banxia said, reaching into her bag and pulling out a large red invitation card.
"What is this?"
Ye Bufan asked in confusion. He hadn't been in Apple City for long and didn't have many friends, so why would someone invite him?
"A beautiful woman invited you."
Lu Banxia said, handing over the invitation card. Ye Bufan opened it and saw that it was an invitation to a cocktail party, scheduled for 8 PM tonight at the Blue Style Private Club in Apple City.
Looking further down, the signature was Alicia.
Ye Bufan was utterly confused. "Where did this invitation come from? And who is Alicia?"
"You don't know Alicia? She's a famous beauty in the Federal Capital!" Lu Banxia pouted, "It seems your luck with romance is about to bloom."
Ye Bufan said inexplicably, "What is all this about? I don't know her at all, I don't even know who she is, so why would she invite me?"
"You really don't know Alicia?"
Lu Banxia was also a bit surprised.
Ye Bufan spread his hands: "I really don't know her. If you hadn't mentioned her, I wouldn't even know if she's a man or a woman. Who exactly is she?"
"Alicia is very famous in M Country; she is the goddess in the hearts of countless men…"
Seeing that he really didn't know, Lu Banxia began to explain.
In the Federal Capital, there were once three major Families: the Berwick Family, the Perran Family, and the Lorraine Family.
Alicia is the Young Miss of the Perran Family, said to be the patriarch's favorite Granddaughter, and her status is very noble.
Besides her Family background, she is also widely known for her talent. This woman was once crowned Miss World and a lingerie model, and she also possesses outstanding business acumen.
Legend has it that on her 16th birthday, the head of the Perran Family once gave her a supermarket. As a result, under her management, it became the largest chain supermarket in the entire M Country within three years…
Ye Bufan listened for a long time, and besides thinking that this woman was both beautiful and outstanding, he was still utterly confused.
"But I still don't quite understand why she would send me an invitation."
"I don't know that either." Lu Banxia suddenly remembered something else and said,

"Oh right, there's one more thing about Alicia I haven't told you: she has an engagement with the Berwick Family, and her fiancé happens to be Olivier, whom you met last night."
"Oh!" Ye Bufan nodded, "By the way, how do you know so much about these big families? Didn't you say last night that you didn't know the Berwick Family or Olivier?"
"Wasn't I just cooperating with you yesterday?" Lu Banxia rolled her eyes at him: "Do you think a large group with hundreds of billions in assets is that easy to manage?
I have to sort out the relationships of these major families, including some gossip, otherwise it's easy to make wrong decisions."
Ye Bufan gave an embarrassed smile, "You mean, the reason Alicia wants me to attend this cocktail party might be related to Olivier?"
"I don't know that. I've only looked into information about this woman; how could I know what she's actually thinking?"
Lu Banxia said, "That's just one of the possibilities. You are now considered a celebrity in M Country. Whether it's as the Medical Immortal from China or the powerful individual who conquered the Brown Family, either identity is enough to attract the attention of high society.
Of course, it's also possible that she thinks you're handsome and is coveting your good looks, you never know."
In the end, she just wanted to make a joke, but after saying it, she felt a little sour in her heart.
"I understand." Ye Bufan nodded.
"So, are you going or not?"
Ye Bufan smiled slightly: "Of course I'm going. This woman has piqued my curiosity. I want to see what her purpose is."
In fact, he had his own thoughts. Even if the other party was setting a trap for him, it was ultimately out in the open, which was much better than being ambushed from behind, so he definitely had to go.
He looked at Lu Banxia again: "Are you coming with me?"
"It seems you don't understand the Blue Style Private Club. In high society, its reputation is no less than that of No. 1 Club.
There are extremely strict management rules here. An invitation only allows one person to enter. They invited you; I can't go even if I wanted to."
Lu Banxia shook her head and smiled, "What if she's having a private date with you? Wouldn't my presence affect your romantic luck?"
"Alright then, I'll go alone."
Ye Bufan smiled and didn't say much more.
This time, it was very likely a trap, and bringing Lu Banxia would also pose a danger. It was more convenient to go by himself.
