Chapter 584 You’re Not Trying to Abduct Amy, Are You?
A burst of energetic instrumental music heralded the beginning of the song. An angelic female voice then began to sing, and the three girls at the center of the stage launched into a beautiful dance. Their foldable fans fluttered through the air, while their vibrant kimonos flapped around them, giving them the appearance of three gorgeous b.u.t.terflies.
“Daitanfuteki ni haikara kak.u.mei, Rairairakuraku hansen kokka, Hinomarujirus.h.i.+ no nirinsha korogas.h.i.+, Akuryoutaisan ICBM…”
Piano, guitar, ba.s.s… The sounds of many instruments overlapped as the music of “Senbonzakura” washed over the entire venue.
No one could understand the lyrics, but everyone was still ignited by the captivating song and dance as cheers erupted from the crowd.
What was even more curious to them was that the seemingly irregular dances performed by the three dancers somehow pieced together to form a perfectly ch.o.r.eographed masterpiece. Also, where was that stimulating music coming from? Could it be that Boss Mag had hidden a band beneath the stage in advance?
“Wow! Amy is so cool! I love you!” Daphne sat on Guy’s shoulders as she looked up at Amy with admiration in her eyes.
“This is another brand-new song. I still don’t understand the lyrics, but if the dance was ch.o.r.eographed by Mr. Mag, then is there anything he can’t do?” Luna looked on with a stunned expression at the three dancers on the stage.
Mag was always full of surprises. Just when you thought you had completely seen through him, he would pull another trick out of his seemingly inexhaustible bag, making you wonder what other secrets he was hiding.
The more curious you became, the more you wanted to know about him, and the deeper you fell into his trap.
Prior to leaving Rodu, her mother had told her not to develop curiosity in any man, as that would cloud her judgment and ability to think objectively. She had taken that advice seriously and followed it to a fault thus far. However, she was unable to contain her curiosity anymore. This man never tried to put on a mysterious facade like other men did in attempts to impress her, but his vast array of skills made her want to know more about him, even if she would fall for him in the process.
“I’m getting so hyped up! Even I want to get on stage and start dancing now!” Vivian yelled excitedly, looking as if she wanted to rush onto the stage immediately.
There’s no mistaking it; she’s definitely the little girl from three years ago. She’s grown up to become so adorable, and she’s a really good dancer at such a young age… Alex sure is a lucky man. After a brief stunned silence, a gratified smile appeared on Louis’ face as he looked at Amy dancing on the stage. He then turned his attention to Mag, who was also looking at Amy with a doting smile on his face.
He’s completely transformed into a different person in three years; I wouldn’t even be able to recognize him if I b.u.mped into him on the streets. Louis sighed internally as he looked at Mag. He then looked at the baskets of mooncakes beside the stage and raised an eyebrow as he thought to himself, Alex can’t even cook roast sweet potatoes without burning them into coal; is his cooking really edible?
The eight Black Falcons had already gathered together, and all of them were looking up at Amy with excitement in their eyes.
“Team Leader, what do we do now?” the thin manual laborer asked.
“She’s a half-elf, and her age matches our records as well, but we can’t be certain that she’s our target. Let’s try and gather more information on her before we act. Remember, no matter what you do, you have to remain in the shadows. We can only act after the conclusion of this celebration,” Narson replied in a low voice.
Everyone nodded with serious expressions on their faces.
Narson looked around before his gaze settled on a tall and well-built young man. He approached the young man with a smile, and enquired, “Hey buddy, who’s the little girl dancing on the stage? She sure is adorable.”
“Are you new here? You don’t even know that? She’s the daughter of the Mamy Restaurant’s owner.” The young man aimed a glance at Narson with a slightly disdainful expression before turning back to look at the stage.
Narson suppressed his rage from being treated with such disdain, and confirmed, “So her father is the owner of this restaurant?”
“No sh*t! She’s his daughter, so of course he’s her father. Stop asking me stupid questions.” The young man rolled his eyes.
Narson slowly stowed away the dagger in his sleeve and suppressed the urge to send this guy to the afterlife with one stab. He forced a smile onto his face as he continued, “Is the restaurant owner a single father? Is he the man that was speaking on the stage earlier? Where’s the little girl’s mother?”
“Oi, you’re not trying to abduct Amy, are you?” The young man’s expression immediately became more cautious as he turned to Narson with a suspicious look.
“Hehe… Of course not, I’m just curious…” Narson chuckled with a slightly stiff expression. He began to grasp the dagger hidden in his sleeve tightly again, while the other Black Falcons also approached stealthily from different directions.
“Heh, don’t be afraid to admit it; everyone here wants to abduct Amy because she’s way too adorable!” The young man suddenly burst into laughter. He then shook his head with a disdainful expression as he sized up Narson, and said, “You should just forget about it, though. Look at your scrawny frame; you don’t even look like you can beat Amy in a fight, let alone her father.”
N
Narson heaved an internal sigh of relief as he stowed away his dagger again. At the same time, he made a surrept.i.tious hand signal, indicating for all of the other Black Falcons to stand down.
However, Narson’s expression was still rather dark. What did this guy mean when he said he wouldn’t even be able to beat Amy in a fight? That little brat looked as if she were no more than four years old, while he was a veteran 4th-tier a.s.sa.s.sin. If it weren’t for the fact that he was on a mission, he would have stabbed this c.o.c.ky b.a.s.t.a.r.d already, turning him into swiss cheese!
“Hehe, yeah, she really is quite adorable…” Even though Narson was struggling to repress the urge to stab the young man, he still forced a bashful smile onto his face. He turned to appraise the man standing beside the stage, trying to find any resemblance he held with Alex.
However, everything about him was completely different. He was almost the ant.i.thesis of Alex.
Furthermore, there was one line of information that was stressed repeatedly in the files they had on Alex: Alex was permanently disabled, and there was no way for him to ever recover!
As such, it would be impossible for Alex to stand and walk like a normal person as this man could.
Is this guy Alex or not? Narson was very perplexed.
