Chapter 262 - "Isn't She My Daughter?"

"Look, Uncle Jake. I can't meet her, not in this form…" Finley tried to negotiate, but Jake only tilted his head slightly.

"Why? You're afraid that she will recognise you? You're already in disguise...as for changing your voice, can't you let your fairy replace your voice instead?"

"...." Finley suddenly didn't know what to say. Indeed, what Jake said wasn't wrong, but the chance to get discovered was higher if he had to approach Ainsley and get her to gamble, okay?!

And Fin didn't want to risk that.

"Huft. I...I don't know what to say to her so that she will gamble with dad and you, uncle." Finley gave another excuse.

Unfortunately, Jake turned a blind eye to Finley's desperate attempt and casually blurted.

"You can greet her first, asking her if she's also here to gamble because this is your first time seeing someone close to your age at the casino."

Jake completely disregarded Finley and Ainsley's age difference which was a whopping 5 years.

"After you chit chat with her, ask her to play with you and enter the 11th floor's gambling hall. At that time, she will say she can't. You will then ask her why."

Jake continued to narrate the whole thing that might happen after Finley approached Ainsley.

"Once that baby tells you why she can't enter the gambling hall, you can then give her the solution."

"And the solution is to gamble against the two of you? Nah, that's not logical, okay…" Finley was about to retort when his own father suddenly cut him off.

"You can just say you need her help to gamble against me. If you win, you will give her several crystals as a reward."

In other words, Finley would drag Ainsley to play against Evan with the excuse 'I want to win against my dad who is so good at gambling! I'm frustrated! Help me, sis!'

Finley almost fainted when he imagined that.

Since my image becomes a spoiled, competitive guy who wants to win against his dad but has to ask someone younger than him for help?!

Finley was tempted to run away from these two meanies and generously gave the crystals to Ainsley after chit-chatting with her instead.

Alas, Jake and Evan saw through Finley's thoughts, and both of them looked at Finley with a sly smile on their face.

"Son, don't run away. Your father wants to see your so-called bestie. Get it?"

"Lil boy, don't you think of giving the crystals for free and then tossing away your responsibility! This uncle wants to see your best friend too!"

The two adults looked at Finley as if he's a pitiful bunny on a plate, ready to be eaten clean.

Finley almost slapped the adults out of reflex.

Hey! Don't treat me like a kid! I'm already way older than you, okay?!

Oh, wait. Only older than Jake, though...still way younger compared to dad.

Finley gritted his teeth and looked at both adults with slightly pleading eyes hidden behind his black bunny mask.

"Do I really have to do this…?"

"Yes!"

"Yes."

Jake and Evan answered at the same time.

Even Percival and Chronos took turns persuading the boy.

"C'mon, Finnie, I also want to meet your best friend!"

"Right, Fin. I'll help you to approach her. You will just do lip-sync, and I'll do the talking." Chronos patted Finley's chest, encouraging the boy.

He's also eager to see a showdown between that toddler and these two seasoned gamblers!

Just like that, Finley was forced to agree.

Fine, fine, just take it as granting these two a favour...

10 minutes later, the three arrived at the casino. They immediately went to the 11th floor's cafeteria and looked for Ainsley.

Actually, without giving much effort, one could instantly spot a 3-year-old toddler at the cafeteria since that toddler was the only kid among adults in the whole casino!

The trio quickly found Ainsley, surrounded by her people; Jevon, Elliana and the other five buds, plus Kyuseli.

However, when they saw her black hair and adorable ruby eyes, the three male froze on the spot.

"Mmmm...boy, are you sure she's your friend? Didn't you say that she's from the Sloan Family?" Jake was the first one to voice his doubt.

Are you sure she's not my daughter instead? Look at her black hair and ruby eyes! And that adorable face! The cutest in the world! So similar to my handsome face!

Jake was already about to go off track.

"Shouldn't someone from the Sloan Family's direct descendant has purple hair? Or is she not a direct descendant?"

Jake asked in a low tone.

He actually already investigated the Sloan Family and knew that their new head was a baby, but he didn't know her appearance yet.

Thus, he immediately assumed that she's not the direct descendant due to her hair colour.

However, Finley shook his head at Jake's words.

"No. I'm that she's the one. She's Ainsley. Even if she changes her gender someday, I'll still recognise her." Finley very confidently refuted Jake.

After all, there's no way he wouldn't recognise this baby...even when she's wearing a silver butterfly mask, Finley could still recognise her.

That adorable face of hers was something one couldn't change so easily!

"Then...she is really Ainsley? The Sloan Family's current family head? Your best friend?"

Our...future sworn ally?

The last sentence wasn't voiced.

Evan, with his blonde hair and the same ruby eyes as Ainsley looked at his son in disbelief.

This...I can't believe the Sloan family head is really a toddler! And she looks so young too!

So...you didn't lie, son??

Evan was forced to believe whatever Finley told him way before this.

He just witnessed...a miracle!
