Chapter 719 Alchemist Exam (4)

The president knitted his brows when he heard this, but he didn't say anything.

All he did was move Xiao Tu behind him as he looked at Lin Fan with a wary look.

But this was enough to admit his guilt.

He had indeed had other plans when he set Xiao Tu to pick up Lin Fan's group.

Lin Fan saw this and found it funny, but he still maintained his serious look as he looked right at the president and said, "However, I don't mind being used like this from time to time."

The president looked right at Lin Fan as he revealed a confused look.

Did he hear him right?

He said that he didn't mind being used like this?

Did he really understand what he was saying?

Lin Fan could see the confusion that was on the president's face, so he turned to Xiao Tu and said, "I don't mind being used when it comes to someone as cute as this."

The president was once again surprised by his words, but he quickly revealed a smile and said while laughing, "Is that so?"

Lin Fan hadn't been certain what the plan of the president had been at first, but after seeing how Xiao Tu acted in front of him, he had put all the clues that he had gathered together.

It was very simple, he had used them as people who would treat Xiao Tu properly. He wanted to give Xiao Tu the confidence that she should have had, so he used them for that purpose.

When Lin Fan had looked carefully at Xiao Tu, he found that while her clothes were dirty, they weren't in bad shape. It was clear that everything she was wearing was from a famous brand and they were brand new. The only reason they were dirty was most likely because of the bullying that she received outside.

As well as the watch that she had, it was clearly the newest model, but there had been modifications made to make it look like an older model.

For someone that took care of Xiao Tu that well, he clearly wouldn't do anything bad to her, so it had to be something that would help her.

With how cute Xiao Tu was, he didn't mind at all.

But there was still one thing that was on his mind.

Lin Fan looked at the president and simply asked, "How were you this confident that it would work?"

The president revealed a bitter smile as he replied, "It wasn't confidence, but rather desperation. After all, there's no one like you in Frost City. You should have already seen it today."

Lin Fan paused for a moment before nodding in response to this.

He had seen how the entire city treated Xiao Tu, it was true that no one would ever treat her properly in this city.

The president then turned to Xiao Tu and said, "How about we go get some dinner now?"

Xiao Tu nodded and then ran back to Lin Fan's group. She took Angela and Yuki's hands before leading them out while saying, "Big sisters, let's go eat."

Angela and Yuki followed her with wide smiles on their faces, while Lin Fan and the president were left there with bitter smiles on their faces as they had been abandoned.

But they didn't let that bother them as they couldn't help revealing warm smiles when they saw how cute Xiao Tu was.

The two of them looked at each other with these smiles and gave a tacit nod before following them to the elevator.

The elevator brought them down to a lower floor where there had been a restaurant that had been booked by the president.

While they were eating, Xiao Tu didn't leave Angela and Yuki's side at all, so Lin Fan and the president were left alone on the side to drink together.

Lin Fan looked at Xiao Tu for a bit before asking, "Do you mind me asking what's Xiao Tu's story? After all, even if she does call you "papa", it's not like you could be her actual father, right?"

After all, Xiao Tu was a demihuman, which meant that her father was a beast who had violated her mother. Lin Fan could tell that this president was 100% a human and not a transformed beast.

The president didn't reply right away. Instead he looked up slightly at the ceiling with a sad look on his face before giving a sigh.

It was only after a long period of silence that he looked back down and poured drinks for both of them before saying, "It's a long story…" Then after a pause, he began telling Lin Fan Xiao Tu's back story.

Xiao Tu's mother was a famous Hunter back in the day and the president's senior, she was someone that everyone looked up to and admired. She was even considered the goddess of Frost City by almost all of the men who lived here.

There were countless people who chased after her, including the president himself, but she never chose to settle down with any of them.

But one day, tragedy struck as they were suddenly thrown into a minor world.

This minor world had been created by the Beast Race as a way of invading the Galactic Humanity Alliance, but it had been discovered by the experts of the Galactic Humanity Alliance before it could be used.

They had charged into the minor world to take care of the Beast Race Experts, but they found that the Beast Race was much more powerful than they had expected.

In the end, Xiao Tu's mother had sacrificed herself by closing the minor world at the expense of being trapped in the minor world with the Beast Race Experts.

They had lost all hope of saving her, but they had been able to save her in the end a few months later. It was just too bad that she had already been violated by the Beast Race Experts many times during that time…She had even become pregnant as a result.

They asked her many times to abort this child, but she insisted on giving birth to it even though she knew how demihumans were looked down on. She said that this child was innocent no matter what the circumstances of its birth were.

She was able to give birth to a healthy girl and she named her Xiao Tu, but it was too bad that she didn't survive after the birth.

The birth process of a demihuman was different from that of a human and she wasn't able to adapt to it. As well, the doctors weren't prepared since there were very few cases of demihuman births to begin with.

So in the end, she bled to death from giving birth to Xiao Tu.

Everyone naturally looked down on these demihumans, but the president and a small group of people who truly loved Xiao Tu's mother vowed that they would raise Xiao Tu properly.

That was how the president had become Xiao Tu's "papa".

As for the others, Lin Fan guessed that they had become the "uncles" that Xiao Tu had mentioned before.

After he finished listening to the story, Lin Fan couldn't help asking, "Did you not resent Xiao Tu for causing her mother's death?"

He knew that this question was a bit too harsh, but he still couldn't help asking it.

The president revealed a sad look before saying, "It would be a lie to say that we didn't at first, but can you blame us if we did? However, you can see how cute Xiao Tu is, so all the resentment that we had completely disappeared as we watched her grow up. It is as Xiao Tu's mother said, the child is innocent."

Lin Fan gave a nod in response to this as he could feel the love for Xiao Tu the president had in his words.

Lin Fan looked over at Xiao Tu who was happily ordering desserts with Angela and Yuki and he couldn't help revealing a smile.

Perhaps one day, he would have a child that would be as cute as her.

While he had been looking away, the president had taken a large swig of alcohol before looking right at Lin Fan with narrowed eyes.

The president suddenly asked, "Xiao Tu really is cute, isn't she?"

Lin Fan just nodded along without thinking too much about it.

Then the president suddenly took him by the shoulder and pulled him over before saying, "But don't you have any ideas towards my little girl! I won't be giving her to anyone!"

Lin Fan was surprised when he heard this, but he quickly said, "No, I don't have any ideas towards her at all."

The president grabbed him by the collar and pulled him close as he shouted, "You're saying that my little girl doesn't have any charm at all! I'll beat you up!"

Lin Fan shook his head with a bitter smile when he heard this.

He was damned if he admitted it or if he denied it…

But he quickly figured out the reason why as he saw the president's red face and the bottles of alcohol beside him.

It seemed like he couldn't hold his alcohol that well…

Lin Fan just did his best to calm the president down, but no matter what he did, it was hard for him to use common sense with a drunk person.

Just like this, he was dragged into a discussion about how cute Xiao Tu was with the president threatening to beat him up from time to time for either agreeing that Xiao Tu was cute or disagreeing with him.
