Alien Executioner

Chapter 13: Princess (Part )

It seems that Ottilia is indeed the princess's person. In fact, An Ran is just trying it out. He can accept every result, even if the princess does not show up in the end.

Tananiya is a family with a very long history. Its influence spreads throughout the entire First District and even to all parts of the world. Its main business is concentrated in the military industry. It is an old-fashioned noble family in the upper class circles of the world. It is also one of the few families that masters the technology of manufacturing devouring weapons.

But it is still not as good as the An family which almost monopolizes everything. The most terrifying thing about the An family is its distributed power. Its power is scattered all over the world like a spider web, monopolizing various industries in the form of various small branches.

He is the son of the An family, and the other is the princess of the Tananiya family. Both of them are the most dazzling figures in the upper class circle.

The auction was already halfway through, and An Ran had no intention of competing. He sat in the box, observing the crowd below, looking for the most special woman.

"Could it be that the Tananya family doesn't take the An family seriously?" Ling also witnessed the progress of the auction, but her voice was questioning Ottilia.

"The princess of Tananiya is of noble status and has the purest royal blood. Even if Master An were to ask her out, it would depend on her mood."

"Why do I feel like it was this princess who took the initiative to ask me out?" An Ran said calmly.

"The process of waiting is always boring. Why not participate in the competition yourself? It's always better to kill time than waiting." Ottilia suggested.

The auction downstairs was very lively, with young people showing off their family background and financial resources. Someone spent 2.4 billion to buy a piece of land, and the price of a three-year order from an oil export company kept rising. The auction was progressing in a heated manner, like a battlefield in silence.

This auction was not about traditional objects, nor was there a wide array of merchandise. Rather, it was about the qualifications for transactions between families. If a three-year contract was sold at the auction, it could bring huge profits to the family. These smart heirs had already learned how to develop resources for the family before they even led the family.

An Ran was not interested in this. If it was a regular auction, he might have given it a try. The family has never lacked resources, and it was not the job of the clan leader to compete for resources with the branch families.

"That's unnecessary. The upstarts are eager to show themselves off, and I can't bear to dampen their enthusiasm."

An Ran withdrew his gaze and drank the liquor.

"They are all the future heirs of the family, the pillars of their fathers' cultivation with all their resources. In the future, many important tasks will be placed on their shoulders, and they will also be powerful lords in settling down the family. But you, Miss Otilia, didn't you discover an interesting fact?"

An Ran smiled faintly and pointed downwards. Several upstarts of the Tananiya family had sad faces.

"It seems that they can't show the capital and heritage that the Tananya family should have. As the host, the Tananya family doesn't need to be so polite. We never need to be polite to others."

Ottilia looked at him coldly, knowing that his words were sarcastic but finding it difficult to refute.

The man was right. The participants in the auction came from various families, but the An family stole the limelight. The young people from the local families in District 1 were eclipsed and were completely shocked by the capital power of these outsiders. While the elders of the family were in the palace meeting the queen, the young people were defeated in the auction.

The young man from the Inova family had proudly raised the price to 200 million just a second ago, just to get the acquisition contract for military trade, but this was also the highest price he could afford. If it was higher, the family would not allow him to continue. Just when he thought he had won, he didn't expect that a man from the Li family raised the price to 500 million.

Everyone was stunned, because this contract was only for acquisition and not for sales, and the Li family was mainly engaged in real estate in the third and fourth districts. So the young man from Yiqi (II) 彡令是久⑺⒊④Nova asked in bewilderment, "Do you know what you are doing? What is being auctioned now is the arms trade. You, a real estate agent, are actually dealing with arms? What's the point of hoarding so many arms?"

The young man from the Li family raised his head and drank two taels of white wine. His cheeks were red from the alcohol. He said drunkenly, "I know, but I just want to show off. Dealing with arms and real estate are the same. They both want to see blood, but I am a bloodsucker. I got the purchase contract but I won't hoard it. I will give it to children in other regions for free to fight alien species..."

This made the local upstarts furious. They realized that these wealthy people from the third district were not bidding according to demand at all, but simply showing off their wealth. They bought whatever they could get and just made sure that the people from the first district would not buy it. The most important thing was to prove their family strength to Mr. An.

An Ran saw all of this, glanced at Ottilia calmly, met that cold face, and expressed his apology with a chuckle.

Although Ottilia served as the general secretary at the age of 22, she looked like she was 17 years old, and her cold face had not completely shed its childishness.

"I'm sorry, but I don't think the Tananya family will mind."

An Ran was very calm, but Ottilia remained cold and silent.

He noticed that this woman had been staring at his profile from the beginning until now.

"So, Director An, you really don't plan to play?"

Ottilia finally spoke. She treated the auction as a game and slowly picked up her wine glass.

She said slowly: "I have prepared something good for you. I think you will definitely not refuse it."

"I think it has something to do with the princess." Until this moment, An Ran still had no interest.

"You know?" Ottilia looked surprised.

"You've been trying to persuade me to participate in the auction, and this happens to be the location chosen by the princess. You haven't shown up yet when the auction is almost over. I can imagine what's going on."

An Ran stood up, and Ling also stood up. As if they were tired of waiting, they turned around and were about to leave.

Ottilia was stunned. She didn't expect that this little trick would be seen through from the beginning. It was actually a very tacky routine. Auctioning the opportunity to meet the mysterious princess would have become a useless plot in a novel, with no selling point to promote the plot. But the mysterious princess wanted to do this.

An Ran actually left without even turning his head. Ottilia quickly got up and followed him, grabbing his hand.

An Ran turned his head indifferently. The woman let go of her hand, and her slightly red cheeks turned cold again.

"Are you anxious?" An Ran looked her up and down.

"Her Royal Highness the Princess has arrived and is upstairs," Ottilia said coldly.

"So Otilia, what tricks is your princess going to play?"

"I have nothing to say. The princess is upstairs. It's up to you if you want to see her." After she said that, she strode upstairs and soon disappeared.

Only An Ran and Ling were left there. The butler thought about it and chuckled.

She looked at An Ran, and the man also chuckled.

"This woman is a little stupid." Ling came to the answer.

"You can see it too."

"Oh, you know that." Ling was surprised, "I was just about to say that she is as stupid as the second young lady..."

Chapter 14: Princess (Part )

No one had expected that there was a restaurant hidden on the third floor of the auction palace. An exquisite wooden door was pushed open by several maids, and a red carpet stretched all the way along the corridor.

The palace maid in a white apron nodded slightly and stopped Ling outside. The princess invited An Ran by name, and the others were not qualified to meet her at all.

Ling also behaved very well as a housekeeper. To her, these maids were just immature juniors. No one could surpass her in the field of housekeeping. After helping An Ran straighten his collar, she took a step back consciously.

"Remember to find a way to take a picture." Ling said in a low voice.

An Ran frowned, and the housekeeper's flashing eyes were full of expectation.

He did not agree, because if he wanted, anyone who had seen it could be replicated with his tentacles, so the trick of taking secret photos was completely unnecessary.

An Ran walked into the restaurant. The view was dim. The curtains were drawn on all the windows in the hall, and no sunlight could get in. In the distance, there was a long table covered with a linen tablecloth, with dim candlelight. A girl was sitting with her back to the door. The atmosphere was quiet.

The girl sat quietly in the candlelight, waiting, sipping a newly opened Bordeaux. She had long platinum hair and was wearing a lace gauze long dress.

The back figure didn't look particularly familiar, it was simply copied from a template. Ottilia spent some time dressing up and successfully transformed herself from a common cold and arrogant girl to a noble cold and arrogant girl. She raised her head coldly and stared at An Ran who was walking by her. The man sat down opposite her and raised his glass.

An Ran did not show any emotion and raised his glass calmly. The girl followed suit and they both drank it all in one gulp.

The banquet between the cold princess and the indifferent noble seemed destined to be without too many words. The banquet was so sumptuous that even An Ran was a little surprised. There were a total of 48 dishes. The long table basically gathered all the world's top delicacies from land and sea, including his favorite sweet and sour spare ribs. It was obvious that the princess had investigated his preferences.

"It's the first time we meet, Your Highness."

An Ran was the first to speak and break the silence. Sitting in front of him was Otilia, who was actually the most mysterious princess of the Tananya family.

He was not the least bit surprised.

Her Royal Highness put down her wine glass, her eyes showing some surprise. Otilia Mocos Tananya said coldly, "How do you know that I must be the princess? Just because I am sitting here doesn't mean I am."

"So what should I call you?"

"Just call me Your Highness the Princess."

"Well... Your Highness, I'm sorry, I'm not a house-visiting doctor and I can't cure your illness." An Ran sighed with a slight regret.

"If you need any help, I can introduce you to a famous doctor in the field of mental illness."

"Why do you think I'm here to see a doctor?" Ottilia said with a cold face.

Did she not hear the teasing? An Ran had to re-evaluate her Royal Highness. She originally thought she was an awkward and arrogant girl who didn't even dare to reveal her true identity when meeting someone. But it turned out that she was actually a psychopath.

An Ran came to Shanyang Lin Qi not to eat, but just to see the princess. Now that he has seen her, he really plans to leave, cleanly and decisively.

Just like that, Otilia stared blankly at the man who stood up and left.

She asked coldly, "What do you mean?"

"I had no intention of meeting the princess, I just wanted to see her beauty. Now that I have seen her, is there any reason for me to stay?" An Ran told her.

Her Royal Highness was dumbfounded. She simply could not understand this man's train of thought. An Ran was the only man in this world who could make her spend time and effort to dress up carefully. But he sat down, just glanced at her, patted his butt and left.

He could tell the princess was Ottilia as soon as he entered the room, and he even sat down across the table to observe her for a while to confirm it. He was really crying.

"Stop, I have something to tell you!" Ottilia couldn't help but stand up and stop.

She was stunned. There was no one in front of her. The hall was empty and she was the only one left.

The princess' face turned pale, she bit her lip, and returned to her seat in disappointment.

"Your chef is professionally trained and even placed eight neatly arranged peas next to the steak, but he poured the sauce on it too hastily, which made the first bite of the steak taste bad. Although this does not affect the overall quality of the food, many people will be put off by the first bite. The first impression is very important."

The princess stared at the man opposite her. An Ran had returned to his seat at some point and was cutting a steak with a knife, chewing his food absentmindedly.

Otilia's expression softened a lot, and she also heard the hint from the words that An Ran seemed to hate her pretending to be cold and strong.

"I'm sorry, I will change the cook and I promise to satisfy Mr. An in the future." Otilia said tentatively.

"There is only one person in this world who can be strong in front of me, and that is my sister. I will not stop anyone. My solution is very simple, that is, out of sight, out of mind."

An Ran picked up the napkin and wiped his lips. He raised his drooping eyelids and glanced at him with a cold look, which was soon replaced by a gentle one.

"I heard that you specially looked for ingredients for this banquet a week in advance. You really want to see me, but we always have the chance to meet, right?"

"Who told you that? I didn't tell anyone." Otilia was surprised.

An Ran did not answer this question, but continued: Ling

"It's hard to imagine that the chief secretary of our Third District Administrative Palace is the princess. You hid very well, even my family couldn't detect it. The reason why the mysterious Tananya princess never showed up after she became an adult is because she disguised herself and hid in the Third District... Excuse me, are you an adult?"⑦

"I'm an adult now. I'm 22 this year." Otilia's face turned cold.

"Oh, now an adult." An Ran looked thoughtfully at the girl.

Otilia clenched her fists in anger. In Santa Ana, offending the royal family was a serious crime punishable by punishment, not to mention that she was a princess. She had never been looked down upon like this in her life.

She gritted her teeth and said, "Why did you come back again? Just because you sit here doesn't mean I will be happy."

An Ran smiled, knowing that the girl was very angry, but also knowing that she couldn't do anything to him.

"If you really want to meet me, there are many ways to do it. You can just do it as the chief secretary of the administrative palace. There is no need to go through so much trouble. You are doing this because you have an important reason, so important that you have to do it as a princess. I am very happy and also very curious. Maybe you really have something urgent to do."

He gently pushed the plate in front of him away, clearing out some space, and leaned his elbows on the table, fingers crossed, thinking slightly.

"When I came here, I promised my sister that I would be a good man who is willing to help others. This may be one of my few chances. Your Highness, this is our first meeting. I hope you are doing well."

"My fiancé is missing, and I want you to help find him." The princess said coldly.

"Help you find someone? Easy." An Ran snapped his fingers. "From now on, the whole world will help you find your fiancé. This is my compensation for your apology."

Chapter 15: Princess (IV)

"Mr. An, I am very happy about your enthusiasm, but I haven't told you who my fiancé is." The princess said coldly.

"The fiancé of Princess Tananiya must be good. A man who catches your eye is definitely not an ordinary guy. I never believe in such plots that only exist in novels."

An Ran held a glass of wine and looked at the girl with a slightly elder smile, not minding the princess's strange look.

"Maybe he is the heir of the Eva family? I heard that Mr. Manfrozzi's second son still has no partner. He has a good reputation in the upper class and is popular everywhere. He is also the most loyal business partner of your family. Or maybe he is the lame elite executive of the Caccino family? You call him the second An Ran. He is a rare genius. I have seen him. He is handsome and always surrounded by women."

An Ran looked at the princess teasingly and slowly uttered out one name after another. Each name represented a shining new star in the family. Their fathers played an important role in politics and business and were considered wealthy and noble. Any one of these young elites was qualified to become the princess's fiancé.

"Or maybe your fiancé is from District 3. You've been there for two years, so it's not impossible that you really fell in love with that wild boy."

An Ran suggested another possibility and nodded thoughtfully:

"It's really unexpected. Anyway, I can really help you."

Otilia finally had a chance to speak, her tone was cold.

"You guessed all wrong."

"It's okay. It's not important. What's important is that it's my honor to help the princess. Let me tell you about your fiancé first."

"The reason why he became my fiancé is because of a marriage contract."

"This is a stage that girls in the family cannot avoid. Many people have offered marriage proposals to my sister, but they all failed. The marriage proposals were put in a box, and my sister burned it in front of everyone. The fire was big, but the raging fire did not extinguish their courage. What killed their courage was my sister's cold eyes."

An Ran looked up and recalled the scene. Ottilia frowned as she listened. She had heard that Miss An Xin was also a psychopath, but she didn't expect it to be true.

"Your sister... is very domineering." Ottilia couldn't help but say.

"She has been like this since she was a child. She has no kindness towards anyone except her family."

An Ran tapped the table with his fingers, still unable to break his habit of thinking, and thought of something to add:

"Everyone was scared away by the fire, but one person remained. He was from the family of District 9, named Orinaga Nobuki."

"I know this name. He is the only son of the Chief Councillor of District 9. He also offered his marriage proposal to me when I was a child. I hated him very much. He later died."

"Yes, he is dead, but how did he die?" An Rankun sneered.
