Unspeakable bubbles

Patty was secretly pleased, thinking that her father valued her more, but she never expected him to say something like that.

"Tch, who cares if you tell me? Even if you don't tell me, I'll ask Bubble when I get back!"

"Well, I'll have to trouble you to tell the Marquis."

"I asked her to keep it a secret for me. If anyone asks, just say I didn't make a breakthrough."

"Uh, Dad, Bubble doesn't lie."

Petty shrugged: "This is not a good situation."

"Not lying? Well, can't you just stay silent and not expose me?"

"This should work."

Patty nodded, then suddenly grinned mischievously. "Dad, I won't help you for nothing; you have to agree to one condition."

"Oh?"

"While I'm home this time, Flynn is not allowed to appear in front of me."

"How about it?"

"I thought it was something serious, is that all?"

Fergra immediately agreed: "Okay!"

"..."

"Haha, I was planning to do the same thing even if you hadn't said anything."

"After all, there's a saying..."

Fergra thought for a moment: "Blood is thicker than water, yes, blood is thicker than water!"

“If you two spend too much time together and develop feelings for each other, it will be difficult to handle.”

"I don't want you to suddenly find yourself unable to fight back because of something like this when you're finally at war."

Fugra shook his head repeatedly: "It's one thing if my years of hard work are wasted, but I can have more sons and daughters. At worst, I can raise another generation."

"But if you dare to put on a melodramatic show in front of me, I guarantee I'll twist your heads off!"

Fugra's face was contorted with rage, and as he spoke, a murderous aura emanated from him.

It's clear that he meant 'twisting off his head' literally, and he wasn't just joking.

"Dad, you're still the same as ever, you haven't changed at all."

Petty's face was pale, but she laughed: "I've wanted to ask this before, but I never dared to."

"Dad, do you... disregard family ties?"

"What do you mean to me and Flynn?"

"You brat, you're talking nonsense again."

Fugra laughed heartily: "You're my daughter, and he's my son!"

Seeing Petty's expression of disbelief, his smile vanished.

"At least, that's how it is now."

"Well, that's how it is now... but what about the future?"

"When you are strong enough and break through to my current level, we will be enemies."

Fugra said calmly, "Either kill me and become the next head of the Grant family, or be killed by me. It's one of the two."

"You mean, the reason we're still your daughters and sons is because we're not yet worthy to be your enemies?"

"if not?"

"..."

“Dad, you’re out of your mind. You really need to see a doctor,” Patty said with a sigh.

"Ha ha ha ha"

Fugra laughed heartily, his laughter unrestrained.

"That's the Grant family tradition, whether you like it or not. You can't even touch my heel right now, so you have to follow my rules!"

"You bastard..."

Patty gritted her teeth: "One day I'll beat you half to death, and then I'll call you 'Dad' every day and take care of you personally by your bedside!"

"How could you be so vicious!"

Just imagining that scene sent a chill down my spine.

"Oh, you're scared?"

"Ha, are you kidding? You think I'm afraid of you?"

"Oh~"

Petty nodded: "I've decided, this will be my life goal from now on."

"..."

Section 617, Chapter 616: Beyond the Script

"My lord, just ahead lies the pride of the Grant family—the Colosseum!"

Fogra led the way, proudly saying, "Before the Colosseum was built, the Grant family was always struggling financially. After the Colosseum was built, we never had to worry about money again!"

"How do the arena make money?" the little girl asked curiously.

"At first, we relied on ticket sales because the show was so exciting that it was almost always full every day."

"Later I found a way to add more variety."

Fugra said with a smile, "Every day, the arena hosts more than ten shows where 'beasts' and 'fighters' fight each other. Before the match, the audience can bet on which side will win, and those who bet correctly will get paid!"

"Tch, you're the one who should be saying that."

Petty ruthlessly interrupted the Marquis's boast: "Any veteran viewer knows the strength of every 'fighter' and 'beast' perfectly well."

"Just by hearing the names before the match, those people know which side will win."

"Your terrible idea almost forced the Grant family to sell their entire fortune!"

"If it weren't for good luck in the end..."

"What do you know, you brat?"

"I want them to treat me like a fool," Fergra said dismissively. "Heh heh, after two or three times, most of the people with money in the territory came to my arena to 'make money'."

"At that moment, I made a decisive move and immediately closed the net!"

"No one expected that a warrior who had never been defeated would be killed by a sick tiger."

"Hahahaha!"

"..."

"Dad"

Petty looked at him suspiciously: "Wasn't that guy drunk before the match, which is why he messed up?"

"From what I'm hearing..."

"It was definitely due to excessive drinking. I held his head down and forced him to drink bottle after bottle of alcohol."

Fogra pursed his lips: "Actually, I want to wait a bit longer; some big fish haven't taken the bait yet."

"Unfortunately, our family's finances can't hold on any longer."

"Huh?"

At this moment, the little girl spoke up: "Isn't this cheating?"

"This doesn't count as cheating; I just increased the unpredictability of the game."

Fugra chuckled, "My lord, as a spectator, you wouldn't want to watch a match with no suspense, would you?"

"Even so..."

The little girl scratched her head: "But I still feel like there's something wrong with what you're doing."

"These kinds of tricks are most effective the first time they are used; using them too often will only backfire."

Fogra shook his head: "Then, I introduced 'odds'."

"Odds?"

"kindness"

As Fogra chatted with the little girl, the group soon arrived at their destination.

"There are so many people at the entrance!"

"The Colosseum has just finished renovations, and today is its first day of operation."

"We're not open yet, so we're setting off firecrackers for good luck," said Fogra with a smile.

Sure enough, not long after Fogra finished speaking, the sound of firecrackers went off.

At the same time, countless balloons rose from inside the Colosseum.

"balloon!"

"There's more, look!"

At Petty's prompting, the little girl was amazed to see many wonderful bubbles floating out of the Colosseum.

They display a variety of colors under the sunlight, and because there are enough of them, they create a magnificent spectacle above the Colosseum.

The little girl was completely stunned. After a while, she gestured with her hands and asked, "How, how did you blow such a big one?"

"It's bigger than a person! What a huge soap bubble!"

"It's not something you can just boast about."
