Chapter 802: Chapter 800 Growing Up Chapter 802: Chapter 800 Growing Up Sybil?
At the sound of the name, Fu Qian’s mind conjured up the image of a female demigod, known for her volatile temperament and erratic behavior.
In a group, there couldn’t possibly be two demigods with the same name, right?
But wasn’t she serving in the Wasteland? Had she really been pulled out from there?
Could it be because of Ji Yicheng’s death, the Siren didn’t want to take the blame, so they were making a show of their stance?
It was, after all, a reasonable understanding amongst fierce competitors.
The Sirens could even use this as a pretext to naturally redirect their manpower elsewhere, such as towards actions against Yasui.
What a pity that this demigod not only defected but even handed over a large number of colleagues in the process?
No wonder Lego and Suzune seemed utterly shaken to their core.
“So are you saying Yasui has made a comeback with this?”
Fu Qian stroked his chin, pensive.
“Just because you allow these Transcendent groups to compete freely, occasionally having a traitor isn’t too much of a problem, right? It’s all because her rank is too high?”
“You have no idea, we’re talking about a demigod here!”
Suzune, clearly struggling to contain her emotions, had a shrill tone in her voice.
“A demigod in herself is an essential component of a faction; even in the most vicious battles, there’s never been a case of a demigod defecting because even if you were to defect, the other side might not dare to take you in.”
“Alright, when did this happen?”
Fu Qian pondered.
“It wasn’t too long ago today, just after the base had settled down, that we heard the news.”
Suzune let out a sigh.
“Now, the entire vigil of Night Watchmen on Ye Island has heightened their security level.”
“Is it possible that this demigod Sybil didn’t defect due to irresistible conditions but rather believed that it was the right thing to side with Yasui, opting to desert the darkness for the light?”
“Is that how you talk to the police and judges? If that’s the case, I truly doubt the quality of the legal system here on Ye Island.”
Lego spoke icily.
“As a Transcendent being who is several times your age, surpassing human individuals, what grand cause do you think could convince her?”
“Or to put it another way, do you believe in any cause, even your own?”
“Idealists are always different from scoundrels like me,” Fu Qian said as he looked out of the window.
As Su Gao had said, if Yasui Tokiyuki had ideas, there would be a sequence of actions.
…
The next moment, in the direction Fu Qian was gazing, a rhythmic knocking sound began.
“Come in.”
Fu Qian called out without much surprise.
The door opened in response, revealing three familiar faces, two adults and one child.
“How come you’re here?”
Suzune turned towards the sound, her mouth dropping open in shock.
“Sorry to intrude, it’s quite rude of us to come unannounced.”
Mrs. Delin walked in with an apologetic smile on her face.
“Is Lady Violetta in? Rebecca insisted on seeing her.”
Is that so? I couldn’t tell.
“Yes, please take a seat.”
Fu Qian replied, but his eyes were fixed on the people behind Mrs. Delin.
Retired captain Delin was leading his daughter Rebecca, whose polite smile did not show much anticipation.
Compared to her demeanor at the previous tea party, the little girl seemed much quieter.
“The tea room is that way, could you help?”
Fu Qian quickly shifted his gaze and called out to Suzune.
“Me? Why?”
Early on, Suzune was staring at the Delin family with wide eyes, taken aback when she heard the words before she realized that Fu Qian was asking her to make tea, instinctively refusing.
“Because I don’t know how, and then so many guests have arrived all at once.”
Fu Qian spoke confidently.
“Or are you planning to leave now? I bragged to Asao Sakura of the Yasui family about your skills, claiming they’re better than hers.”
…
Although Fu Qian’s reasons were a mess, Suzune hesitated for just a moment before actually rising to head to the tea room.
It wasn’t because of this nonsensical flattery, she couldn’t possibly leave now.
Why would the Delin family come here?
To chat with Violetta?
Even if the Delins indulged Rebecca’s whims, it was hard to imagine they would bring her to the home of a villain.
Yet, in just a few days, it felt as though the world had gone haywire.
She couldn’t possibly leave today without figuring out why the Delin family was here.
“Mrs. Delin, hello.”
At this moment, footsteps were heard, as Su Gao, who had rested all morning, came downstairs at the right time.
Of course, before coming downstairs, she had been keeping an eye on the commotion below.
“Lady Violetta, hello, I’m sorry for the intrusion.”
Mrs. Delin apologized again.
Su Gao nodded slightly, now sitting next to Fu Qian, not bothering with anyone else, her gaze fixed on Rebecca beside Mrs. Delin.
“After you left the day before yesterday, Rebecca was fussing about wanting to talk to you.”
This somewhat cold reaction clearly made Mrs. Delin feel embarrassed, pulling Rebecca closer to explain.
“Lady Violetta, hello.”
Rebecca greeted her very demurely, with a sweet and adorable smile.
“Hello.”
Su Gao took a light breath.
The last time she saw this little girl, she hadn’t been so well-behaved.
Fu Qian watched the scene with a blank expression.
A rampaging cognitive storm could indeed be too much for a child’s naive perception to bear.
And it was apparent that Lego also held some surprise and suspicion in his eyes, constantly seeking confirmation with a look from Delin, though the latter kept a straight face, revealing no emotion.
In the brief silence, Suzune, full of questions, couldn’t wait to come back carrying a pile of things.
“I’ll help.”
It was Rebecca who was the first to get up from her seat, actively stepping forward to take them.
For a moment, Suzune’s jaw nearly dropped in surprise, looking at Mrs. Delin.
“Children always seem to grow up overnight, Rebecca suddenly became much more sensible these past two days.”
Mrs. Delin’s smile was stiff as she explained, a brag that surprisingly lacked gratification.
“Violetta, I heard you say you also grew up on Ye Island?”
Rebecca, praised by her mom, blushed with a shy smile, handling the teaware with enough expertise, and initiated a polite conversation with Su Gao.
So this was the reason the Delin family abandoned their principles and paid a visit?
True to the Middle Tier, Delin probably couldn’t confirm what had happened to his daughter, but he senses something amiss.
Thinking of bringing her to meet Su Gao, hoping she would bond well?
While pondering, Fu Qian caught Su Gao’s meaningful glance, filled with apparent somberness.
Fu Qian subtly nodded his head.
“Yes, but that place isn’t very pretty.”
Su Gao took another breath, unexpectedly crouching down to hold Rebecca’s hand.
“Would you like to see it if you get the chance? It might be a bit far.”
Her tone was unusually serious, leaving Delin and his wife filled with doubts and surprise.
“Thank you for the invitation, of course I’m interested, but it’s a pity if it’s too far, I’m afraid Mom won’t agree.”
Rebecca giggled, glancing at her own mother, responding in a mix of coquettishness and grace.
