Although the auction was disrupted, because transactions were immediate after the auction, Catherine's account still had over ten billion, so the auction was considered a success for her.

"I'm not going to Fusang!" On the plane, Ling Feng said, "I still have some matters to attend to in the Middle East, so I'll head over there first and take Aiven along to handle a few things!"

"Is it dangerous?" Catherine asked.

Ling Feng shook his head, "Not dangerous, but it might be a bit troublesome and take some time!"

A few hours later, Ling Feng and Aiven returned to the Middle East.

"Aiven, you head to the base first. I have some things to handle. We'll meet at the base tomorrow!" Ling Feng said to Aiven, "The main purpose of my return this time is to take you to the Nilas Family, so be mentally prepared!"

Aiven took a deep breath, showing a determined expression, "Big brother, I understand!"

For all that the Nilas Family had done to Aiven, Ling Feng, as Aiven's big brother, was determined to seek justice for Aiven. As for the outcome, it would depend on the Nilas Family's attitude!

But Ling Feng had a belief that no one should bully his brother, even if it was the Nilas Family!

After parting with Aiven, Ling Feng returned to the Dragon Group Base.

The three members of the Grey Bear Mercenary Group had already returned, while Bai Feifei stayed at the base.

"Ling Feng, you're finally back!" Seeing Ling Feng return, Bai Feifei smiled slightly, "How did things go?"

Ling Feng hugged Bai Feifei briefly and said, "Everything went smoothly. Now that everything is resolved, you can return home smoothly too!"

Bai Feifei asked in surprise, "You're not going back?"

Ling Feng shrugged, "There's still a bit to take care of here, and also..."

Before he finished speaking, a petite figure appeared in front of Ling Feng and threw herself into his arms, "Brother Ling Feng, Alice really missed you! Did you miss Alice?"

Looking at the delicate little girl in his arms, Ling Feng slapped his forehead, realizing he'd forgotten he'd left a little loli here.

"Alice is still here? Haven't you found her parents yet?" Ling Feng asked curiously.

With the power of the Dragon Group, finding a little girl's parents shouldn't be particularly difficult, right?

Bai Feifei said with a wry smile, "Alice is quite clever. Regarding her background, she's always tight-lipped. No matter what we do, we can't find out her identity, so how can we find her parents?"

Ling Feng picked up Alice, laughing as he asked, "Alice, why don't you tell everyone about your parents? I think we'd all be happy to help you find your real parents, and they'll certainly be worried and sad if they haven't found you. Do you not trust everyone yet?"

Alice shook her head, "Brother Ling Feng, it's not that I don't trust my brothers and sisters. I just hope you can personally take me home. I also hope my parents can see Brother Ling Feng in person!"

Ling Feng was stunned for a moment, then chuckled, "Why is that? I think everyone is eager to quickly reunite you with your parents. Why must it be me who takes you?"

Alice looked at Ling Feng seriously and said, "Because Alice likes Brother Ling Feng! Alice wants to be Brother Ling Feng's bride in the future, so Alice hopes Brother Ling Feng will take her home!"

Bai Feifei coughed lightly and laughed, "Ling Feng, you're really quite charming to little girls. Even cute little Alice has fallen for you. Impressive, impressive!"

As she spoke, the corners of Bai Feifei's mouth turned up slightly. She enjoyed seeing Ling Feng's bewildered expression.

Neither Ling Feng nor Bai Feifei, nor anyone else, took Alice's words seriously. After all, children's words are innocent, and who would take a seven or eight-year-old's words to heart?

Ling Feng rolled his eyes, "Feifei, do you find it amusing to tease me like this?"

Alice, however, pouted angrily, "Brother Ling Feng, I'm serious! Please don't laugh, okay?"

Ling Feng smiled wryly, "Alice, do you know what being a bride means? You're still young, how about Brother Ling Feng just being your brother?"

Alice shook her head, "You all treat me like a child, but I know everything. Sister Feifei is Brother Ling Feng's girlfriend, but she's not Brother Ling Feng's bride. Only when two people marry is there a bride! So, Sister Feifei, please don't marry Brother Ling Feng, okay? Brother Ling Feng should wait for me to grow up!"

Bai Feifei's face reddened, and her eyes showed some surprise. Are kids really this precocious nowadays?

Ling Feng patted Alice's head and changed the subject, "Feifei, since things are settled here, you should head home soon. Aunt Mu is actually very worried about you."

Bai Feifei showed some longing; after such a long mission with life-and-death experiences, her feelings about going home had deepened.

"Alright then, I'll head back first!" Bai Feifei said, rubbing her reddened eyes, "I can't be of much help here anyway, so please be very careful, okay?"

The two shared a brief kiss, and then Bai Feifei turned to pack up and prepare to return home.

"Hmph!" At this moment, Alice pouted, looking very upset.

Ling Feng squatted down and asked, "Little Princess, what's the matter? Can you tell me where you live now?"

Alice pouted unhappily, "Brother Ling Feng, I'm your bride! How could you kiss Sister Feifei and not me? I'm angry!"

Seeing Alice's angry little face, Ling Feng kissed her on the forehead, "Alright, don't be mad. If you keep being mad, you won't be cute anymore!"

With that little kiss from Ling Feng, Alice thought for a moment and decided to forgive him. Then, under Ling Feng's questioning, Alice revealed a shocking name.

Ling Feng's eyes gleamed with surprise; he never imagined that the little loli who escaped into his car was actually the Little Princess of the world-renowned oil tycoon Thomas. It was truly astonishing.

Bill Thomas was a world-renowned oil tycoon, and his life was quite legendary. He wasn't a master, nor did he have an amazing background. With his keen insight and tremendous business acumen, he built a powerful business empire, where oil played a significant role, earning him the title of Oil Tycoon!
