Chapter 683: Chapter 681 Violetta_1 Chapter 683: Chapter 681 Violetta_1 “What’s your name?”
In the midst of boiling emotions, without waiting for Fu Qian to say anything, Lady Suzune directly stared at Su Gao and asked.
Oh, the simple and ignorant girl!
Knowing well what Fu Qian had done in the past, she immediately assumed Su Gao to be Fu Qian’s new prey.
“Violetta.”
Su Gao answered with a smile, quite naturally.
This name sounds familiar.
Lady Suzune didn’t feel much upon hearing it, but Fu Qian thought to himself.
The name Violetta inevitably reminded him of a little girl in a blue dress.
He had once been forced in some fairy tale to help her find her mother’s room for a long time.
It seemed Su Gao’s integration was indeed not bad, as even such a small personality hadn’t been lost.
“Violetta…”
Naturally behind Asao Sakura in strength, Su Gao’s response was so natural that Lady Suzune couldn’t possibly see anything unusual about her.
“Lady Suzune, are you looking for me for something?”
Just as she was secretly grinding her teeth and about to ask again, Fu Qian interrupted her from the side.
“…What do you think?”
Startled into full alertness, Lady Suzune came to her senses and her expression changed abruptly as she looked at Fu Qian.
She made no attempt to hide her murderous intent, and a bright, shining dagger had already appeared in her hand.
“You have no idea how long I’ve been searching for you, and today you will not escape!”
“Sorry for not knowing you’ve had such a tough time.”
Facing her overflowing grudge, Fu Qian promptly apologized with impeccable manners, then looked surprised.
“But why would I run away?”
“As a law-abiding citizen who just returned from a trip and is preparing to rest, why would I flee somewhere else?”
Law-abiding citizen…
Lady Suzune almost laughed in anger.
“Do you dare to tell Violetta what you have done before?”
Without waiting for Fu Qian’s response, she directly looked at Su Gao.
“Mysterious, elegant, and with a graceful demeanor, I understand Mr. Darcy is full of charm, but sadly, he has a little hobby–”
Lady Suzune pointed at a spot beneath Su Gao’s ribs.
“He will take a piece from somewhere on your body at a certain moment, to delicately savor the taste.”
“Ah?”
Seeing Su Gao momentarily stunned, looking surprised, Fu Qian silently praised her good acting skills.
“Lady Suzune must be joking. I believe Mr. Darcy wouldn’t do such a thing.”
And after staring at Fu Qian for two seconds, Su Gao firmly shook her head.
…You believe?
How could you, a naive girl inexperienced in the ways of the world, see through such a serpentine beast!
There are already countless who thought the same and became his prey!
Lady Suzune looked as if she wanted to crack open Su Gao’s head and scream into it.
“Even if I did break the law, that’s a matter for the police, isn’t it? Lady Suzune, as a Night Watchman, isn’t that overstepping your bounds–”
Fu Qian didn’t give her time to continue her aggrieved speech, continuing to talk from the side.
Thump!
The sound of flesh being pierced interrupted Fu Qian’s words.
Lady Suzune, with a cold face, threw her gleaming dagger, nailing Fu Qian’s hand to the table.
Blood gushed forth.
“Honestly, you really should change the way you greet people.”
Glancing at Lady Suzune, Fu Qian then looked at his own hand and struggled a bit to pull the dagger out and throw it back.
Watching the bloody dagger slide all the way to her, Lady Suzune was silent for a moment.
Their past experiences in dealings taught her that she was no match for him when it came to quibbling, so she had chosen to resort to violence just now, hoping to force him to reveal his true form.
Regrettably, even when faced with such a sudden attack, Fu Qian’s reaction still showed no sign of abnormality.
Apart from being too composed, his physical ability was entirely that of an ordinary person.
So, was the scene where she discovered he was a Transcendent also a mental influence?
Was there some kind of tacit understanding between them? When he was targeted, Yasui’s people arranged to have him sent away and exerted mental influence on her to buy time?
This was indeed an undeniable possibility.
Another very important point–if he wasn’t fully confident, why would he brazenly come back?
Because he knew that she couldn’t do anything to him.
…
“Speaking of which, how is Kagetsu Kana doing now?”
In the silence of Lady Suzune, Fu Qian appeared completely indifferent to the bleeding wound on his hand, holding his chin as if deep in thought.
“Has a Miracle occurred to her? I remember she was very much looking forward to it.”
Kagetsu Kana! That was also his purpose for returning.
Fu Qian’s question sent a jolt through Lady Suzune’s mind, startling her.
This man still hadn’t given up on Kagetsu Kana!
“I warn you, do not entertain any dangerous thoughts, or I won’t hesitate to risk breaking the rules…”
After a long internal struggle, Lady Suzune finally refrained from losing her temper and killing him on impulse.
“It seems the Miracle didn’t occur.”
Fu Qian appeared to have completely ignored the threat, sighing regretfully.
Congratulations indeed, it seemed she hadn’t been provoked by his arrangements into developing some obsession, committing self-betrayal.
“After all, if the Miracle had occurred, Kagetsu Kana would be a Transcendent by now, and you would probably be pleased to see me entertain dangerous ideas.”
Everyone knew that the duty of the Night Watchman was limited to matters related to Transcendent powers.
Conflicts between Transcendents and ordinary people typically resulted in one-sided beatdowns, but if an ordinary person were to murder a Transcendent, it would fall under their purview as well.
During the day’s journey at sea, Fu Qian had not been idle but instead thoroughly researched the matter of the red lines.
According to what he learned, Ye Island was among the places that implemented the division of responsibilities to the fullest extent, with a clarity in the scope of duties that could be regarded as a global benchmark.
That’s why Lady Suzune was so adherent to the rules.
In Shangjing, Darcy would likely have met his end long ago.
“Rest assured, I am not eating carelessly now.”
As Fu Qian spoke, he glanced at Su Gao inadvertently.
Had he lost interest in Kagetsu Kana because he had a new target in mind?
Watching his actions, Lady Suzune naturally came to this interpretation.
“You’d better remember what you said today.”
“I always keep my word, oh, and I have one last question.”
Fu Qian patted his head as if he had just remembered something.
“Hmm?”
“Is Kagetsu Kana still living with her sister?”
…
“Although her rank is not high, she’s still very naive and passionate.”
Watching Lady Suzune storm out the door, Su Gao commented on her colleague.
“Indeed, it’s enviable.”
Fu Qian agreed with her view.
“It’s a pity that in this place, there are still quite a few considerations to be taken into account when acting.”
As he spoke, he had already stood up from his seat.
“Are you going out?”
“We are going out.”
Fu Qian smiled.
“Let’s go, I’ll take you to do something ladies love.”
