Chapter 496 Playing the Righteous Gentleman

• Hearing Finnian’s suggestion, Anna had no idea he was planning to slip away. She took it at face value, thought for a moment, and said, “Alright. My father doesn’t know about us yet. I need to fly home and talk to him first. You can come find me later. No rush.”
• Anna claimed she didn’t care about status, same as Finnian, but she knew the truth: he was just a regular guy. Her father would never approve. The only good news was that Finnian was an energy warrior, and a strong one at that. If she rallied her elders to speak on her behalf, maybe they could sway her father. But until then, bringing Finnian home served no purpose—and might even blow up in their faces.
• As for Finnian having a girlfriend, Anna didn’t care. In her eyes, once Finnian went home with her, he’d have no choice but to break up. So why bother worrying?
