Chapter 45 The Old Father's Shock

Levi followed Caitlyn and others and left alone, returning to the Piltover Police Station to cooperate with the investigation.

After witnessing his powerful ability to control the wind and rain, the students were no longer worried about him.

What's more, the female law enforcement officer who claimed to be seeking justice for Levi was actually Caitlin Gilaman, the only daughter of the Gilaman family.

This is the daughter of Lady Giraman, a member of the Piltover Supreme Council!

With such a strong background, the Iron Fist Gang and Sheriff Marcos are obviously not enough.

Therefore, Levi did not rush to ask Victor and Seraphine to find a way to save him. He just told them and the students not to be disturbed by this accident, and to form different working groups as planned as soon as possible to carry out the initial publicity and development work of the Leader.

So, after a long time...

Factory area, Seraphine's house.

"Dad! Mom!"

"I'm back!"

Seraphine excitedly rang the doorbell of her house, holding a pile of documents.

She came back alone first.

However, there was a small and cute bluebird standing on her shoulder.

“Seraphone?!” Hearing their daughter’s voice outside the door, Mr. and Mrs. Erwin ran over excitedly and pushed the door open: “You’re finally back!”

"Really? Where have you been? Mommy is so worried about you!"

Neither the couple paid much attention to the bluebird standing on Seraphine's shoulder.

Mrs. Irving held her daughter in her arms lovingly for a long time before letting go.

Mr. Erwin looked Seraphine up and down, and only after confirming that his daughter's hair was not messy, her buttons were not missing, her clothes were neat, and there were no suspicious marks on her skin did he breathe a sigh of relief:

"Seraphone! Where's that boy?"

"Some Zaun beggars came to us earlier, saying that you asked them to come. They also said that you got 'sick' in the Zaun community, had a headache and fainted, and were... carried away by that bastard Levi!"

"Is this true?"

The old father asked with his eyes wide open.

"Yes!" Seraphine nodded. "I was the one who asked those beggars to come. Dad, didn't you take good care of them? I promised them that I would give them jobs and apprenticeships."

If it were any other time, Alvin would have had a serious talk with his daughter about this.

His family runs a factory, not a shelter. Why would they hire people for the factory when they have nothing better to do?

Those beggars are either old or injured , their value has been almost squeezed out, and they should have been optimized back to Zaun long ago.

"Ahem..." Now is not the time to think about this.

“Seraphone! Who asked you about those beggars? What I’m asking is…those beggars said that Levi took you away after you fainted – is this true?!”

At this point, Mr. Erwin's eyes almost popped out of his head.

Seraphine simply answered very naturally: "Yes! I fainted in Mr. Levi's arms for quite a while..."

“……”The old father’s face turned green.

"Nini, that boy didn't do anything strange to you, did he?" The old mother's breathing also became nervous.

"Strange thing...what do you mean?" Seraphine tilted her head, looking confused.

"Ahem..." Erwin's face got a little hot: "That is, did he do anything to you..."

"Of course not!"

"That's good..."

"Why would Mr. Levi touch me? I wanted to hold Mr. Levi's hand, but he was reluctant to let me touch him."

"I had to beg him for a long time before he was willing to hold my hand and continue to sing for me."

Mr. and Mrs. Erwin: "..."

"Damn it!" the old father cursed bitterly, "Where is that little bastard? I'm going to call the police. I'm going to have the law enforcement officers drive him back to Zaun!"

"Dad... no need."

"Mr. Levi has been taken away by law enforcement officers."

Mr. and Mrs. Erwin: "..."

What did that little bastard do to their daughter that even the law enforcement officer couldn't stand it?

No... calm down. Their daughter is still standing here. Levi couldn't have been taken away because of her.

The only possible reason for him being taken away was:

"Did someone from the Iron Fist Gang call the police?"

Erwin has been a business owner for more than a decade, and he is very familiar with the dealings between the Iron Fist Gang and the law enforcement officers.

Most people think that the Iron Fist Gang’s most powerful weapon is their fists.

But he knew that the most powerful thing about the Iron Fist Gang has always been its background.

"Yes." Seraphine nodded: "That's why."

"Okay!" Erwin slapped his thigh happily.

Now he doesn't care whether Levi was wronged or deserved to die.

He just wanted this Zuan guy who had kidnapped his daughter for no apparent reason to get as far away as possible.

"Wait..." Erwin looked at his daughter nervously.

This silly kid's soul has obviously been hooked.

She came back now, wasn't she trying to ask him, as a father, to use money and connections to bail that little bastard out of jail?

"I'm telling you clearly, this is absolutely impossible!"

"Don't even mention our family's relationship with the law enforcement officer. It can't even compare to the Iron Fist Gang's background. Even if it can, I will never pay a penny for that little bastard!"

“Dad…” Seraphine blinked aggrievedly: “I didn’t come back to ask you for money.”

"Hey? Then you are..."

"I'm back to help you get rich!"

Erwin: “???”

Damn...why does this line of speech sound so familiar?

And how come his silly daughter, who had never earned a dime since she was a child, started talking about business with him as soon as they met? What kind of magic potion had she been fed?

He suddenly had a bad feeling.

"Seraphini?"

"Um?"

"Did Levi take you to some formal-looking university, auditorium, theater, or something to attend some lecture?"

"Hey? Dad, how did you know?"

“…”

"Is there anyone at the lecture claiming to be a senior professor at Piltover University, claiming to have some big project like 'water-to-oil', 'physiotherapy device', or 'new practical hextech technology' to share with everyone?"

"Yes!" Seraphine nodded excitedly.

“Did they also send you a lot of internal information and ask you to invest money?”

"Dad, you are really awesome—"

"I haven't said anything yet, and you know everything!"

Erwin: “…”

Go fuck yourself!

That bastard Li Wei deserved to be arrested!

"Dad!" Seraphine hadn't noticed her father's subtle expression yet. She just handed the stack of documents in her arms to Mr. Erwin: "Look, this is the new project I agreed to cooperate with Mr. Levi."

"Mr. Levi and Professor Victor plan to invest in the company with technology, and then divide the equity into 30% and 70%."

"What about 30% or 70%?" Erwin couldn't help but curse in front of his daughter. "That bastard not only cheated me out of my money, but he also wanted to cheat me out of my 30% stake?"

“No, not 30%.”

"We account for 30%, and Mr. Levi and Professor Victor account for 70%."

"..." Erwin exploded instantly.

He just let his daughter go out for a walk for half a day...and Seraphine was able to squander all their property?

“Seraphone, you, you…”

"Do you really understand what those projects are?"

"I don't understand." Seraphine answered confidently.

"But I can feel that everyone's soul is bright and warm... Working with them means we are definitely doing the right thing!"

"Hey, hey... Dad, don't go!"

"Professor Victor and Lina are still sorting out the specific technical information. Please take a look at the project plan I brought back first..."

Mr. Irving ignored him.

The old mother also looked at her daughter with pity, and was thinking in her heart that she must find a son-in-law with high IQ in the future to help take care of her daughter for the rest of her life.

"Mr. Irwin, Mrs. Irwin."

“You should take a look at this project proposal.”

But at this moment, someone spoke.

No...it wasn't a person who was speaking, it was the bird on Seraphine's shoulder.

And this voice is still...

"Levi?!" The Erwins looked over in surprise.

Yes, it was Levi . But only the voice was Levi's.

The bird was, of course, Janna.

She was just communicating remotely on behalf of Levi through the spiritual connection between herself and the summoner.

As for the sound of Levi's voice... that was just a small spell that she had mastered after regaining her divine power, using airflow to simulate the vibration of the vocal cords.

"Levi, you, you..."

How did you turn into a bird?

No!

Erwin suddenly reacted:

This is... a spell! This is a spell that only a wizard can cast!

That kid Levi is actually a magician? !

"Yes, I am a mage."

"So I not only have a project for you, but I can also help you solve the problem that Seraphine has been unable to control her innate magic."

Levi took out his biggest gift.

Seraphine has never received formal magical training, so she is unable to control her talent.

Janna has lived for thousands of years and knows everything. She is naturally Seraphine's best magic mentor.

"This..." Erwin was silent.
