Chapter 69

"Consider what? I’m really afraid that if this continues, it might trigger some kind of heavenly thunder and earthly fire," Xu Jianxing said with a serious face, "Alright, no more jokes. I have no other demands about today’s matter; I just hope you won’t tell anyone about me. Can you promise that?"

Even to keep the secret, Xu Jianxing wouldn’t resort to harming a foreign woman, which would be completely out of character for him. As for the three robbers, they had already been damaged by his true qi in some of their central nervous systems. Even if they were still alive, they would either be idiots or vegetative.

Isabel looked at Xu Jianxing’s sudden change in expression, and after a brief moment of surprise, she nodded heavily, "Mr. Xu, please rest assured. I swear by my grandfather’s character that I will not easily reveal any of your personal information. However, if others figure it out, I can’t do anything about it. I don’t like lying, but I can assure you that even if my people find out, they will not leak any information."

In Isabel’s mind, encountering such a skilled person, she had no intention of letting him go. Naturally, the bodyguards around her would also notice something.

At the end of her words, Isabel shrugged helplessly.

Xu Jianxing also understood the implications but didn’t bother to argue. At most, he would stay away from her in the future. After all, he wasn’t the only skilled person in the world. He smiled and said, "Alright, call someone to pick you up. I’ll leave when they’re almost here."

Xu Jianxing, hearing this, didn’t think much and smiled, "That’s good. By the way, call someone to pick you up. I’ll leave when they’re almost here."

Although the three robbers, even if they woke up, would have no ability to fight back, Xu Jianxing didn’t feel right leaving Isabel alone in such a remote place.

"Okay." Isabel nodded and walked to her handbag, opened it, and not only took out her phone but also Xu Jianxing’s.

Then, she walked to Xu Jianxing’s side and extended her hand, "Mr. Xu, your phone."

"Okay, thank you." Xu Jianxing took the phone and put it in his pocket. Then, he walked to the three robbers and used his true qi to seal their wounds. Otherwise, he would have suspected that they would bleed to death soon.

As for whether the people coming would notice anything, he wasn’t overly concerned. If Isabel spoke, they would know; if she didn’t, they wouldn’t be able to figure out who did it, especially since he already knew that there were ancient martial arts experts in this world. At this point, there was no need to hide too much. Even if they found out, they would only think it was a passing skilled person.

At the same time, Isabel also opened her phone and dialed a number. Soon, a series of stiff Mandarin voices came from the phone, "Is this Mr. Robber? Please rest assured, we can pay any amount of money, just don’t harm Miss."

Isabel glanced at Xu Jianxing and then smiled, "Aina, it’s me. I’m fine now, you can come and pick me up."

"Oh, my God, Miss, you’re really fine?"

In the Tengan police station, Aina asked in disbelief. The voices on the phone could be heard not only by Isabel’s four male bodyguards but also by the major case team members who had rushed from the city.

Even people from the province were on their way, as Isabel was not just an ordinary wealthy child but a direct descendant of a French old family. The head of the family was Isabel’s grandfather, Anderson Cappé. Anderson controlled various profitable industries, including perfume companies, wineries, and jewelry stores, as well as hundreds of hectares of vineyards. Even the French president had a close relationship with him, making him one of the top figures in France.

Would the Dragon Country not take this seriously?

Moreover, Anderson was already furious about the incident and had gathered some secret personnel to come to the Dragon Country. Regardless of what would happen to his granddaughter, he was determined to send those kidnappers to heaven.

Due to Isabel’s situation, the situation was already tense. Although the police had some information on the kidnappers, they didn’t dare to act rashly. Everything had to be done to ensure Isabel’s safety.

However, they were very worried about Isabel’s safety. According to Aina’s description, the three kidnappers were likely to be 2A wanted criminals, who had committed multiple crimes in various places, moved quickly, and were highly skilled, possibly trained specially. Their methods were extremely cruel, and almost no one survived their kidnappings, with 12 people dead and some tortured before death.

Therefore, when they heard the voice on the phone, the faces of the major case team members showed disbelief. They couldn’t believe that the weak woman Isabel had escaped, or at least, they thought she had escaped.

At the same time, Isabel smiled faintly, "Yes, I’m fine. Aina, come and pick me up."

"Okay, Miss, I’ll be right there."

Aina quickly said. Isabel’s phone had a global positioning system, so as long as it was turned on, finding her wouldn’t be difficult.

After saying this, Aina seemed to remember something and hurriedly asked, "Miss, do you need a helicopter to pick you up?"

"No, I have some things to do here, and it’s very safe. You can take your time. Also, don’t bring any of the big shots with you; I get a headache just seeing them." Isabel glanced at Xu Jianxing and whispered. She didn’t want to leave so soon and wanted to learn more about the mysterious young man nearby.

Aina, hearing the first part, was a bit confused, but the second part made her laugh. She nodded, "Okay, Miss. But since you’re fine, it’s best to call Mr. Anderson. He’s very worried about you."

"Okay, I’ll call him." Isabel said reluctantly. She knew her grandfather would make her go back, but this time, she had found something interesting and didn’t plan to return. However, the call was necessary.

Then, Isabel hung up and called her grandfather Anderson. Soon, the phone was answered, and her grandfather’s stern voice came through, "Who is this?"

"Grandfather, it’s me, Isabel. I’m fine." Isabel said quickly.

Hearing this, Anderson sighed in relief and then said, "Since you’re fine, Isabel, come back immediately."

"I knew you’d say that." Isabel muttered, then pouted, "No, I won’t. You promised me to let me stay in the Dragon Country for half a month, but it’s only been three days. I won’t go back."

"No, you must come back. It’s too unsafe there. If your grandmother finds out, she’ll blame me." Anderson said seriously.

"You don’t have to tell her." Isabel giggled, "Grandfather, you should understand that no place is truly safe. Even natural disasters can’t be prevented. This time, it was just my bad luck, but it could also be considered my good fortune, as the Dragon Country has an ancient saying: 'fortune and misfortune are interdependent.'"

"Fortune and misfortune are interdependent!" Anderson frowned and then asked, "What exactly do you mean by your good fortune?"

"Of course, it means I was saved by someone." Isabel glanced at Xu Jianxing, seeing no reaction, and then realized her savior might not understand French. She continued, "I told my grandfather that I was saved by a very skilled person from the Dragon Country. I can’t tell you how skilled he is because I promised him, and I swore by your name, so to respect my savior’s privacy and you, I must keep it confidential."

Hearing this, Anderson became very interested, "If you don’t mind swearing by my name, can you tell me a little about how skilled he is?"

"Grandfather, I’m serious." Isabel pouted, "And as the Dragon Country’s ancient saying goes, 'a gentleman’s word is a promise that even four horses can’t catch up with.' Although I’m not a gentleman, I won’t betray my savior. Besides, I won’t go back until I’ve repaid him."

Anderson laughed, "From what I know of little Isabel, I think you’re not just thinking about repaying him but have found something very interesting. Now, I’m truly looking forward to meeting your savior. Since you don’t want to come back, I won’t say more. I’ll apply to the Dragon Country’s authorities to allow your bodyguards to carry guns, so I can feel more at ease."

"Yay, Grandfather, you’re the best." Isabel cheered.

"Grandfather has always been good to you." Anderson joked, then said, "By the way, Isabel, please pass a message to your savior for me."

"Sure, what is it?"

"Tell your savior that he will always be the most honored guest of our Cappé family. Invite him to visit us, and thank him for saving my little Isabel." Anderson said solemnly.

"Okay, Grandfather, I’ll pass it on. If there’s nothing else, I’ll hang up."

"Okay, before you hang up, let me say one more thing: don’t have any more accidents. If you do, no matter the reason, you must come back." Anderson said seriously.

"Alright, alright, I know, Grandfather. Bye." Isabel hung up, sighed in relief, and then looked at Xu Jianxing with a smile, "Mr. Xu, you don’t understand French?"

"No." Xu Jianxing shook his head, smiling. Listening to their conversation was like listening to a foreign language, and he didn’t know what they were saying. He thought he should learn more foreign languages in the future. However, Xu Jianxing wasn’t completely ignorant of foreign languages; his English was quite good, as he had chosen a tourism major, which required a basic understanding of a foreign language.

"Oh, I knew it would be like this." Isabel nodded and explained, "I just called my grandfather. He said to thank you and that you will always be the most honored guest of our Cappé family. He invites you to visit us."

"Thank you for your grandfather’s kind words. Actually, I was just protecting myself, so it’s not really a matter of saving anyone." Xu Jianxing shrugged, not really caring about the Cappé family, which he knew nothing about, except that they were wealthy. He had no intention of visiting them.

Isabel shook her head, "No, no, Mr. Xu, you can’t say that. Even though you were protecting yourself, you did save me, and I should thank you."
