Alantina Online: The Greatest Sword Mage Reborn As A Weak NPC-Chapter 64 Daughter Snatcher

"These are my thoughts as well." Henry nodded. "I will do the investigation which will keep anything from being leaked beforehand. We do not want to give him time to destroy anything."

"I am glad to hear that." Vance closed his eyes. Henry saw that Vance was tired and did not say anything. He just let him relax as he sipped his tea.

In another room, Alice and Sally were busy helping the children eat. Alice gently wiped the youngest girl's mouth as she said warmly: "Slow down. Don't eat too fast. You do not want to get sick right?"

"Mm… Big Brother?" The little girl called out. She remembered a big brother had saved her. She wanted to thank him.

Alice smiled as she said: "Don't worry, he will be back soo…"

"Mane! Hana!" A woman ran into the room, her eyes full of tears. The two girls turned and looked at the woman and suddenly burst out crying. "Mama!" The two girls stopped eating, jumped off their chairs, and ran over to them. They had not been able to see their mother for a few days now and now… she was here standing before them!

Alice and Sally let out sighs of relief. If the mother was here, then that meant Vance had also returned. The two girls slipped out of the room, letting the maids deal with the mother and daughters as they ran to see how Vance was.

When they opened the door to see a young man with this white hair lazily sleeping on the couch, they smiled. He had returned home safely! They both ignored the man on the other couch as they sat down next to Vance, hugging him while resting their heads on his shoulder. They were glad he had returned.

"Ahem…. Am I missing something here?" Henry looked at his niece, who was hugging Vance, which was perfectly normal, then at his own unofficial adopted daughter, who was also hugging Vance, and his expression fell. He glared at Vance, picked up a sugar cube, and chucked it at his head. But surprisingly, the young man tilted his head and dodged it! This angered Henry even more! The damn daughter stealer had actually dodged his attack in his sleep!

What made the situation worse was his question was going unanswered! Finally, he couldn't take it anymore, and he yelled out: "Vance, explain this!" 𝒇𝘳𝐞𝚎𝓌𝑒𝑏𝒏𝑜𝙫ℯl.c𝚘𝒎

"Huh?" Vance looked around with half an eye open and looked at Henry, who looked as if he was ready to kill in confusion. "Is something wrong?"

"Yes! Very wrong! Alice is one thing. I can not do anything about your relationship with her, but what is going on with Sally!?" Henry yelled out. Sally, who was the main protagonist of the situation, ignored the man as she continued hugging Vance's arm.

"Oh…. Cooked rice!" Vance blurted out, causing Sally to blush from ear to ear while lowering her head. Alice began laughing, and even the maids turned around, trying to hold their laughter in. As for Henry. He froze. The words cooked rice kept ringing in his brain. He knew the daughter stealer was not talking about the food! He was talking about Sally! The girl he treated as his precious daughter!

"You!" Henry stood up and pointed his finger at Vance. He did not know what to say to this damn kid! After just standing there pointing, he finally sat down. "You were not satisfied with just the one. You had to go for both! You're nothing but a daughter snatcher! I might even need to hide Jen!"

"Pfft!" Sally let out a laugh as she buried her face into Vance's shoulder.

"And you, Sally! How could you do that without a word!? I thought you were just following Alice not running away with a man!" Henry yelled out.

"Uncle, it is mostly my fault since I kind of forced it. But Sally was already seeing Vance's good points, and do you not have two wives as well? Father has ten! So I don't want to hear it!" Alice said with a snort. "We now belong to Vance. There is nothing that can be said about it now. No one can change this."

"Wait… Wait…. Wait a minute! You too!? I thought you were…. Never mind! You're all adults! You can do as you want!" Henry fell back into his chair. He felt defeated. The man in question said no more than a few words, but it was as if he had won a war without shedding blood. Henry gave up. Both girls seemed so smitten with this man that they were beyond help. But he had to say, at the very least, he was a man of his word. And he did not play around, which was a good thing.

Vance and the girls stayed at Henry's estate for the night. Well, Vance slept on the couch with both girls hugging him, he fell back asleep, and no one could wake him up. It was not until the next morning that Vance was met with the woman he saved and her two daughters. "Sir Vance, thank you again for what you did."

"I just did what I thought was right. I hope you and your family will have an easy time from now on." Vance replied. He could only accept her thanks even though he did not feel he deserved it. The little girl Mane walked over and tugged on his arm. She looked up at him with her big round eyes before jumping up and hugging him. "Big brother, thank you!"

Vance smiled warmly at the little girl and patted her back. "I am glad you do not need to go through such things ever again."

As for the guard who had been captured, he was able to see his wife and kids were safe that same day. And once he did, Vance got a notification.
