Conversion ~ After Story ~
Chapter 20
Arthur looked at me. I was about to call him 'Boss', but in the end, it was replaced by his name.
"Xiao Ying, the reason why Mr. Prynne can't remember what happened to him can only mean one thing.
Mr. Prynne's illusion and hypnosis came together. This is also why we had to come together. "
Nielsen listened to Arthur and nodded at me.
I looked at Prynne and asked, "So, Prynne, what kind of illusion did you enter to be able to sleep until now?"
Prynne looked at me and smiled. "Xiao Ying, I want to eat the desserts you make. Any of them will do."
What did Prynne go through to make him so wary? However, since Prynne was injured because of me, it was necessary to prepare desserts for him. However, if I prepared desserts for Prynne and not for Xanxus, the adults on the other side would probably be unhappy again.
"Then, I'll go back to Penglie to make desserts for you. There are more complete tools there. How about I give you one of each?"
Prynne looked at me with a gentle smile. "Sure!
As long as Xiao Ying is willing, I have no objections. "
Prynne didn't ask about Nielsen and Arthur's background, nor did he ask how he recovered from his injuries. I even felt that Prynne already knew about Arthur and the others' existence from the very beginning. That was why he wasn't surprised. Could it be that my counterpart in another parallel world also had this organization?
When we left the hospital, I looked at Arthur next to me. "Arthur, do you know what Prynne experienced in his dream?"
Arthur looked at me and shook his head. "Boss, do you know what hypnosis is?
Our hypnosis can awaken the deepest memories in a person's heart, just like the scene you saw in the hypnosis.
We don't know who Prynne saw. "
Nielsen looked at me and explained, "Boss, no matter who you see in the illusion, you have to remember that it is an illusion.
Prynne is unconscious because Prynne doesn't want to wake up. He craves that kind of care. I think the person in Prynne's illusion is very important to him. "
I looked at her in confusion. "Nielsen, the person in Prynne's illusion is very important to him. Why are you looking at me like that? Do you think I'm important to Prynne?"
"Prynne likes you, Boss.
Don't tell me the boss didn't sense it. "Arthur looked at me and said respectfully," Or is the boss pretending not to know? "
It turned out that Prynne was so obvious.
Of course, I could feel that Prynne liked me. If it wasn't for this, he wouldn't have found the opportunity to eat and stay with me. He would even protect me in school. He would even sit in on my classes when he had nothing to do.
But I already had someone I liked. That person's existence had always been my belief. I couldn't give up.
Plus, the person I liked in the beginning was Hayato Godera!
"Boss …"
Hearing Arthur's words, I turned to look at him. He continued, "I think Prynne seems to know about our existence."
"Maybe it's because of his superpower."
I looked at Arthur and said calmly, "Prynne's Sea Ring has the ability to share parallel worlds."
Or maybe, among the many parallel worlds in the universe, there was one where Prynne and I were together?
What were the chances of that happening?
"I'm going back to Penglie later. Are you guys going to look for Joy and the rest?" I turned to look at them calmly when I reached the underground car park.
"Boss, you can just send us to look for Joy." Arthur looked at me and hesitated. "Boss, you know how to make desserts?"
"Yeah!
Why? Do you guys like desserts too?
Anyway, I don't really like sweet things but I know how to make desserts. "
I opened the car door and looked at Arthur seriously. "If you guys like desserts too, I'll prepare some for you tomorrow. How about that?"
Nielsen and Arthur looked at me with warm smiles. "Thank you, Boss."
I drove them to the location they told me about. Then, I drove back to Penglei Headquarters. When Flin ended, I sent someone to send Flin back. Fortunately, Flin's illusion was good enough. Otherwise, who knew what would have happened in the middle of the journey.
As soon as I walked into the living room, Bell's throwing knife flew straight at me. I was already used to this kind of welcoming ceremony.
"Boss is back."
Bell looked at me expressionlessly. "Before he came back, he asked about your situation. I think you can make a dessert to please Boss."
I rubbed my chin and looked at Bell with a smile. "Bell, that's a good idea."
In fact, Balian members didn't like desserts. They had always been secretive about it. However, I didn't know why they liked it so much when I made the desserts from China. Could it be that the taste was different?
"If it's possible, I want to eat red bean glutinous rice cake. Is that what it's called? I don't remember."
Bell looked at me and said calmly, "I think this is the only dessert that is worthy of this prince."
I looked at Bell and nodded with a smile. Red bean glutinous rice cake seemed to be Zio's favorite. However, I thought about how picky he was when it came to food. It was strange that he liked China's desserts!
It was almost three in the afternoon by the time everything was ready. Prynne, Arthur, Penglie, and Balian made four sets of desserts. It was a good decision to let Penglie prepare a dessert shop.
The desserts prepared for Prynne and Arthur were all packed. The remaining two sets were for Balian and Nindaime and the consultant.
"Miss Iétat, do you need me to help you deliver these to Nindaime and the others?"
Jones looked at me and smiled. "I didn't expect Miss Iétat to be able to make such exquisite desserts. I heard that China's cuisine is more difficult."
I tilted my head as I listened to Jones. "But I'm from China!
It's normal to be good at these things!
You guys are good at cooking, but I'm not good at it. "
I walked up to Jones and patted his shoulder. "I'll deliver the desserts for Xanxus and Nindaime personally.
As for the remaining desserts, they're in the living room. Just bring them over. "
"Yes."
When I walked into the living room with the plates, I saw that the living room was full of fighting scenes. If Yui saw this, I didn't know how she would deal with it. She usually turned a blind eye to it.
"Wow!
Sister Ying, are the desserts ready? "Flin looked at me and smiled." What's in your hand … "
"It's for grandpa and Zio. I'll deliver it to them personally. As for you guys, it's in Jones' hands."
I looked at Flin and smiled. "It's the red bean glutinous rice cake that Bell wanted to eat, and the osmanthus cake that I tried to make for the first time today."
After I glanced at them, I took the plates and went straight to Nindaime's office. I had been busy with Prynne's matter for the past few days, so I didn't have time to pay attention to Nindaime's health. But he seemed to be in good health now, so there shouldn't be any problems.
But just as I walked to the door, I heard Xanxus's voice. "Hello?
G Tada Tsunayoshi and the others aren't children anymore. I've told you before that unless he gets my approval, the Balian will always be your assassination squad. "
Just as I was about to knock on the door, the door opened, and Xanxus was standing in front of me.
His face softened as he looked at me. "You're here." He glanced at the plate in my hand. "Is this the dessert you prepared today?
But what's this yellow thing? It smells pretty good. "
"Osmanthus cake!
The ones I made for grandpa and Zio are quite successful. They smell pretty good. "I put the plate in his hand." Zio, try it. It tastes best when it's hot. "
"Come over to the Balian later."
Xanxus glanced at me and left with the plate. I carried the plate into Nindaime's office.
"Xiao Ying, you're here!"
Nindaime looked at me and smiled. "Xanxus seems to really care about you. It's good that there's someone to take care of you after I pass away."
Hearing Nindaime's words, I was shocked. Why would Nindaime say something like that?
"Grandpa, don't say such sad things. I'll stay with grandpa, and so will Ah Gang!"
I looked at Nindaime and said seriously, "Grandpa doesn't want to see such sad things happen when Ah Gang just became the tenth generation head."
Nindaime held my hand and patted it. "Didn't Xanxus ask you to go to his office?
Go now. "
Looking at Nindaime's expression, I didn't know why, but I felt inexplicably uneasy. It seemed that I had to let them investigate this matter.
When I pushed open the door to Xanxus's office, I saw him sitting inside and eating desserts leisurely. There was a glass of tequila next to him, which she didn't understand.
"Xiao Ying, you're here!" Xanxus put down his feet and looked at me calmly. "About?
G Tada Tsunayoshi … "
"Zio, I know you don't believe in Ah Gang, but don't you know that we're all looking forward to his growth?
Just like what Zio said in the future battle, what Zio wants is the strongest Penglie. "
Xanxus glanced at me, then slowly got up and walked to my side. Just when I thought he was going to say something, he raised his hand and patted my head. "I do want the strongest Penglie. Otherwise, how could I bear to let you become one of them?"
He paused for a moment before continuing, "You're the best and fastest growing Mafia I've ever seen.
Maybe even G Tada couldn't catch up to your growth.
Xiao Ying, even if the path ahead is filled with thorns, will you walk on without hesitation? "
