===========
Obviously, the young lady went directly to her father to complain.
Light Nostrade called to inquire about the situation and also wanted an explanation.
Lan understood immediately that maybe he needed to take his previous words a little more seriously.
But now.
"I asked someone to look after the young lady and not let her go out casually."
Feeling the power in his body that had not yet dissipated, Lan said calmly.
"I see..."
After a brief silence of two seconds, Light Nostrade on the other end of the phone spoke: "You must have your reasons and causes for doing this."
"Since I have given you the full authority to protect Neon, all actions outside will be under your control."
"You should be more professional than me in this regard."
Light Nostrade did not hold anyone accountable or say anything else meaningful.
Yes, it is just trust and delegation again.
In this respect, Light Nostrade is indeed a good boss.
No wonder Dalzollene was willing to risk his life for him.
Of course, it is not ruled out that his trust was based on the fortune poems given to him by Neon.
At that time, he relied on Neon's fortune poems to come to Meteor City and find Lan.
But no matter what, Light Nostrade gave Lan such trust, and Lan was not ungrateful.
Moreover, if this matter is not resolved soon, if Neon causes trouble again in the future and affects the relationship between them, that would not be good.
Lan thought about it, and just as Light Nostrade was about to hang up the phone, he said: "Boss, I think you should know that the divination that the young lady possesses is a special ability, right?"
"Well, I know. This is a power that Neon was born with, a power given by God!"
Although he didn't know what Lan meant, he still felt a little proud when talking about it.
This is a gift from God to Neon, and it is also a gift from God to him!!
"Well, since the young lady can possess such power, others will also have similar abilities. Have you ever thought about this, boss?"
"Um?"
Light Nostrade was startled: "What do you mean?"
"What I mean is that other people may also awaken this strange power, and this power is not limited to divination."
"You mean..."
Light Nostrade was not a stupid man; he reacted vaguely.
"Among those who have awakened strange powers, their abilities may be offensive, defensive, or of course..."
Lan paused: "Plunder and steal."
Huh!
Lan could clearly hear Light Nostrade's breathing becoming heavier on the other end of the line.
"Did you discover something?!"
His voice became a little hoarse, and his heavy and rapid breathing was clearly audible. "A little bit."
Lan said vaguely: "But I'm not sure."
"If you can't even be sure, then it means there is indeed a potential danger!!"
Light Nostrade's voice suddenly rose: "Yes, you are over at the Heavens Arena."
"Now the Heavens Arena has gathered fighters from all over the world to hold the Battle Olympia. All kinds of people will come here."
"Those people you mentioned may have already come to that place!!"
"No, we can't let Neon stay in that place anymore! Come back! You have to come back quickly!!"
Lan could faintly hear the roar and hysteria in the words.
Light Nostrade seemed genuinely panicked.
"Uh, Boss, is it possible that it was just my illusion?"
Lan asked tentatively: "Or, even if that group of guys exists, they are just here to add to the fun?"
"I don't care about whether it's fun or not!"
Light Nostrade's attitude was quite firm: "I only know that Neon is very unsafe there!!"
On the other end of the phone, Lan couldn't see it, but Light Nostrade's eyes were already bloodshot: "Lan!"
He called out Lan's name in a deep voice: "I trust your judgment and feelings 100%, even more than you do yourself!!"
"Now, as the boss, I order you to come back from the Heavens Arena immediately, right now!!!"
"But the fighting competition hasn't started yet, and the lady is looking forward to it. If we do this, will it..."
"Don't worry about her!!"
Light Nostrade said firmly: "Everything is based on Neon's safety!!"
It is based on Neon's divination ability, right?
It was not surprising to Lan that Light Nostrade was so nervous and made such a judgment.
After all, he started from scratch, and his hope of making a comeback lies in Neon.
Everything he has, money, power, status, and reputation, is based on Neon's magical divination ability.
If anything unexpected happened to Neon, he would become the little boss with nothing again.
This is something Light Nostrade will never allow to happen!!
Neon's safety, or rather, the safety of her divination ability, is his bottom line!
He will not tolerate any situation that threatens this ability!
Light Nostrade's movements were extremely quick.
