Chapter 1398 Rushing to the Federal Capital

“You’re the one who can’t see it,” Gomes said. “The current situation is extremely favorable for our Family. No matter which side we choose, it will bring immense benefits, so we are not in a hurry. But this is clearly not what the Berwick Family wants to see.

They incited Cassiano to act, and their purpose was to drag our Family into the water and directly confront Ye Bufan.

Otherwise, why do you think Olivier, with his personality, would still come to propose marriage when there were already rumors of a scandal?”

Only then did Buffon understand what was happening, and he said anxiously, “Father, now that the mistake has been made, what should we do?”

Gomes paced around twice, then turned around and said, “Fortunately, those Cassiano sent were useless, and things haven’t reached a point of no return yet.

The wisest approach now is to offend neither side. Let the Berwick Family and Ye fight; we absolutely cannot get ourselves involved.”

Buffon said with some difficulty, “But now Alicia has an engagement with the Berwick Family, and she’s also involved with Ye Bufan. We can’t just stand by and watch, can we?”

“That little girl Danielton just wants to use this to make us conflict with Ye Bufan, but she underestimates this Old Man.”

At this point, Gomes's face showed a cunning smile: “Alicia must be brought back to the Family. We can’t let her keep fooling around outside, but we can use other methods.”

At the Mermaid Holiday Hotel, Alicia lay in Ye Bufan's arms, holding his face with both hands, giving him a big kiss, then giggled, “Ye, you still couldn’t escape my grasp.”

“Since I’ve fallen into your clutches, I can’t let myself suffer a loss.”

As Ye Bufan spoke, he pressed the woman beneath him, preparing for another round, but just then, there was a rapid knock at the door.

Their movements instantly stopped. They exchanged glances, both seeing the surprise in each other’s eyes. At this time, no one should be coming to disturb them.

Ye Bufan scanned with his Divine Sense and saw several security guards in uniform standing at the door.

Alicia asked worriedly, “What’s going on? Cassiano hasn’t given up, has he?”

“It has nothing to do with him; it’s the security guards.”

No matter what, they couldn't ignore it. The two of them could only cease their activities, get dressed again, and then open the door.

Several

security guards walked in. The leader was a middle-aged man with glasses, a kind smile on his face, and he spoke very politely.

“Mr. Ye, Young Miss Alicia, hello. I am Karl, the Chief of Security from the Federal Capital Security Guard. We apologize for the intrusion.”

One does not hit a smiling face. Since the other party's attitude was so good, Ye Bufan naturally didn't say much, asking, “Is something wrong?”

Karl politely said, “It’s like this, Mr. Ye. Because we couldn’t reach Young Miss Alicia, Old Mr. Gomes was very anxious, fearing something had happened to her, and reported it to us.

So, we came to Apple City this time to ask Young Miss Alicia to return.”

“I’m not going back.”

Alicia directly refused.

Karl still had a kind smile on his face: “Young Miss, you are making things difficult for us. If you don’t go back, our mission won’t be completed, and we can’t leave. We’ll just have to stay here and follow you.”

“You…”

Faced with the other party’s smiling, persistent approach, Alicia had no choice. She pulled out her phone: “I’m calling Grandpa right now to have him cancel your mission.”

After speaking, she dialed the number, and soon an electronic prompt sounded: “Sorry, the number you dialed is currently switched off.”

“I…”

Alicia was speechless for a moment. She also realized that Gomes had done this intentionally, his purpose being to have these people take her back.

“Wait a moment, let’s discuss this.”

“Certainly, I will wait outside for your news.”

Karl’s attitude was impeccable. Before he came, he had already inquired about the seriousness of this mission. Neither the Perran Family’s Young Miss nor the Young man opposite him was someone he could afford to provoke.

As an experienced security guard, he had set a principle for himself: always maintain a good attitude, and under no circumstances provoke the other party's Life Qi. As long as he could bring Alicia back, it would be considered a successful completion of the mission.

He smiled and nodded, then retreated outside the door, closing it behind him.

“My dear, what should we do?”

Alicia showed an anxious expression.

Ye Bufan naturally understood the Perran Family’s intention, but since they had reported a missing person, he couldn’t just forcibly stop her from leaving.

“Since that’s the case, you should go back first.”

Alicia held his hand and said nervously, “But I’m scared. What if the Family forces me to marry that bastard Olivier?”

“Don’t worry. You are my woman now. I won’t let you marry anyone.”

Ye Bufan’s attitude was now completely different from before. Since this woman had given him her first time, he had to take full responsibility for her.

He comforted her, saying, “You go back first. I’ll make arrangements here and then head to the Federal Capital immediately.”

Alicia still said worriedly, “But, according to the decision of both Families, I’m supposed to marry him in a month.”

“A month is enough time. I will completely deal with the Berwick Family.”

Seeing Ye Bufan’s determined eyes, Alicia finally felt much calmer.

“Alright, I’ll go back first. You be careful, after all, the Berwick Family also has the Black Wizard Alliance behind them.”

Ye Bufan smiled confidently: “It’s fine. The Ghost Witch Sect has been destroyed; one Black Wizard Alliance is no different.”

“I’ll wait for you to come back and find me soon.”

Alicia wrapped her arms around Ye Bufan’s neck. After a passionate kiss, they reluctantly parted.

With her gone, Ye Bufan naturally didn't stay there either. He checked out of the room and returned to his Family's estate.

Before leaving for the Federal Capital, there were still many things to deal with here. First, he arranged a plane to send the old Chinese medical practitioners who participated in the World Medical Association exchange conference back to Huaxia, leaving only Cao Xinghua, Lou Baiming, and Wang Xuande.

Although this World Medical Association exchange conference was very successful and had boosted the reputation of Chinese medicine, this was only the first step; there was still a long way to go.

To fully establish the status of Chinese medicine here would not happen in a day or two. He left these three Old Men to open a Chinese medicine clinic in the Federal Capital and gradually expand the influence of Chinese medicine.

Lu Banxia went with him to the Federal Capital, as Angel Pharmaceuticals’ branch there happened to have business to handle.

Also traveling with them was Alice, the president of the World Medical Association; she also had matters to attend to in the Federal Capital.

The next morning, Ye Bufan and his group, including Ye Tian, left Apple City and arrived at the Federal Capital around noon.
