Chapter 180: "Percival, The Oracle"
Chapter 180: "Percival, The Oracle"
When Evan asked his son, Finley flinched for a bit. The boy already landed safely on the ground and was now contemplating what to say.
"Mmm...I'm just curious? My friends said that casinos are fun. Hahahah." Finley laughed dryly as he made an excuse without batting an eyelid.
He did have lots of friends around his age, and even those older than him, but who would dare to talk about casinos in front of the Walter Family's heir?
They must be out of their minds.
Evan instantly knitted his eyebrows together. He stopped next to the white couch and didn't speak for a few seconds, only letting the servants take off his suit.
"...so you wanna go to the casino to have fun with your friends? Who are they?" Evan finally spoke after staying silent for a few seconds. So far, he didn't think that his son's friends would dare to take him to the casino…
"Oh? No, no, no one asks me to come with them. I'm just curious, that's it." Finley immediately denied his dad's question. He wouldn't want to drag his friends into his lie.
And anyway...his friends around the same age as him weren't allowed to go out yet. He's an exception in this case.
"Oh, just curious. Okay then, it's not bad to try new things." Evan silently sighed in relief, knowing that his son's friends weren't bad influences on the boy. If he ever knew those brats dragging his son to the wrong path…
Slice their throat.
"First, come here." Evan walked to the couch and sat down before patting the seat next to him. Finley saw his dad's gesture and happily plopped to the sofa.
"Yes, dad?"
"En. Since you're just curious, why would you need manpower?" Evan crossed his legs and arms before looking at his son.
Didn't know why but his son's fairy wasn't around at the moment. Maybe he's hiding inside the pocket?
Finley didn't know his father's thoughts and his focus was on the question. Why would he need manpower? Of course, it's to protect Ainsley!
That baby is going to depart tomorrow, but I can't say I'm going with her because, in her eyes, I'm a fairy and can't mingle with humans.
But...I'm still worried, okay?
Finley's eyes flickered before he spat a lie without batting an eyelid.
"Oh, isn't it normal to have bodyguards whenever I go to the town? Don't tell me I should go alone, dad?" Finley looked at his dad with fake tears threatening to slide down his cheeks.
Such a move was effective for this secretly doting daddy. Evan's cold face instantly melted.
"No, that's not what I mean. Of course, you should bring bodyguards. How many? 10? 20? Will you with a helicopter or wyverns? Raptor carriage or supercar?"
Evan listed a bunch of things his son needed to prepare to go to the town.
He even secretly thought of assigning some shadow guards and bringing along the best servants to ensure his son would enjoy his second trip to the city.
He acted as if that was Fin's first time going, though…
Finley saw his father's overprotective nature and silently chuckled.
"15 guards is enough, dad. And bring one doctor, one nurse, 5 servants, all-male. Oh, and a chef." Finley grinned widely. His legs swayed slightly as he tilted his head.
"You know I can't eat food that isn't from our family's chef, right, dad?"
"I know. The last time you ate outside, you almost died of food poisoning. Tch." Evan clicked his tongue, and his eyes glinted in a dangerous light. Whenever he recalled his son's ridiculous experience, he felt like crying.
There had been too many assasination attempts on his son. His son couldn't even eat freely outside the mansion.
"Anyway, you're really only curious about the casino, right? Will you gamble or just play some cards?" Evan shifted the unpleasant conversation, trying to lighten the mood even though his poker face wouldn't cheer up anyone.
"Yes, dad, I'm just curious. Really! I won't gamble and will just play some card games...or dice...or those gacha machines." Finley smiled from ear to ear.
The gacha machines he meant was, of course, those which would win him lots of money if he's lucky.
He could get like….around a few millions just from one machine?
Of course, only someone with Ainsley's monstrous luck ability could achieve that.
"Don't worry, dad, I'm just visiting the casino for fun. I won't buy drugs, drink alcohol, play with women, or so on– " Finley was about to convince his dad once more when a childish voice suddenly cut him in.
"No! Boss, he's lying!"
A palm-sized boy wearing a dark purple robe with a golden threads pattern suddenly flew out of Evan's shirt pocket.
The hoodie over the boy's head fell due to his sudden movement, revealing dazzling blonde hair underneath.
"Percival?" Evan's eyes widened as he looked at his contracted fairy. "Perry, what's going on? Why did you say– "
Before Evan could finish his words, the fairy boy with deep violet eyes pointed his fingers at Finley's nose.
"Fin, you lied! You wanna go to the casino for a girl!"
At that time, Finley instantly regretted not checking whether this fairy was around or not.
Lying in front of Percival was akin to lay down naked. This guy...he could see through all lies and mysteries in the world…
Because he's a seer! An oracle! A royal fairy who could see through lies, the past, the future, and many mysterious things that one couldn't explain with logic.
"You...go to the casino for a girl?" Evan's face was full of disbelief as he shot a death glare at Finley.
Ah...there we go.
