Chapter 736: Chapter 734: Precautionary Measures_1 Chapter 736: Chapter 734: Precautionary Measures_1 Brother Delinâs family status doesnât seem too great!
But I do understand, after all, so many movies and TV shows tell us that retired heroesâ families never get along too well.
Fu Qian watched the scene before him with interest, not in any hurry to speak up.
He didnât think Rebecca really identified with him, but rebutting an elder was the key point, along with young peopleâs strong need to assert their presence.
It really was the rebellious phase.
âBut if we go by what youâre saying, Rebecca, how is that any different from celebrities and public figures? Lots of people know who they are too.â
Seeing some awkwardness between father and daughter, Mrs. Delin smiled wryly, while Suzune took a moment to collect herself, trying to use her own logic.
âThe concept of knowing someone is too complicated, possibly stemming from all sorts of reasons, and is also hard to define.â
Confronted with skepticism, the rebellious girl was completely unfazed.
âHowever, by using the concept of depth, you can integrate all of this, adding a new dimension thatâs clear, fair, and not centered on anyoneâs review.â
âTo me, this is much more interesting than mere superpowers like breathing fire or burrowing.â
Where did she learn all these terms?
Watching Rebeccaâs cheeks flush slightly with impassioned earnest, Suzuneâs head began to throb with the strain, suddenly gaining some understanding of Mr. and Mrs. Delinâs feelings.
But as she empathized, she couldnât help but roar internally.
Kids with too much time on their hands should be given something to do, like attending some tutorial classes, so they donât stay home all day watching TV and having wild thoughts!
After her internal torrent of ranting subsided, Suzune took a deep breath.
She knew full well that despite the imperfection in logic, it wasnât easy to persuade such a youngster.
âA definition that seems redundant and useless but still includes everyone, and crucially, can be quantifiedâthis is indeed a fascinating concept.â
Just then, Su Gao, who had been quietly observing, spoke up and even expressed some agreement with Rebeccaâs views.
âBut in my opinion, I still hope it doesnât get tangled up with superpowers because humans are just too fragile in front of some existences!â
Why does that line sound so familiar to me?
As Su Gao made her surprising comment, Fu Qian snarked internally.
But as for her plucking ideas from his mind, Fu Qian wasnât against it.
Birds of a feather flock together; those who associate with teenagers will act like teenagers.
Su Gaoâs current persona was quite suitable for that anyway.
âRight, it can be quantified!â
At that moment, Su Gaoâs words clearly gained Rebeccaâs approval, who immediately nodded in agreement and counted her as one of their own.
âOkay, Rebecca, I think everyone has heard your opinion,â said Mrs. Delin as Rebeccaâs momentum reached its peak, finally intervening to smooth things over.
âCome and sit down, have some food, and let everyone else continue talking.â
Hmph!
Rebecca still seemed somewhat dissatisfied, but having successfully rendered a group of adults speechless was clearly satisfying for her.
Thus, she didnât protest too much and quickly returned to sit down next to her mother.
âThis is delicious.â
Rebecca, now clearly warming to Su Gao sitting nearby, took the initiative to pick out a pastry and pass it to her.
âThank you.â
Su Gao didnât refuse and politely accepted with thanks.
âVioletta, how did you get to know this guy?â
Seeing that Fu Qian was slipping away seamlessly and might even see through her own little plot, Lego didnât bother to waste energy playing dumb and instead turned her attention to Su Gao, trying to rescue someone from distress.
âMr. Darcy saved me.â
After glancing at Fu Qian, Su Gao said this quite naturally.
Already saved?
Not expecting this kind of answer, Lego and his two companions showed difficulty on their faces.
No wonder Violetta trusts him so much!
Although the motive is unclear, if he really is her savior, it seems it wonât be easy to change her mind.
âŠ
Considering the assassination plan had fallen apart, and since there was obviously not much common ground among them, after a forced small talk for a while, Fu Qian noticed the mood growing more and more silent, so he took the initiative to say goodbye.
By this time, Rebecca had already become restless, having been taken back into the house by Mrs. Delin.
The Delins also appeared to want some communicative space and didnât do much to detain their guests, thus the tea party came to an end.
âHopefully sheâll come around soon. Mr. Darcy clearly has connections with the Siren Group, and with the current tension between Siren and Yasui, I fear it wonât be long before thereâs another major conflict, and Darcy will eventually end up in a dead end.â
As Suzune watched the retreating figures of Mr. Darcy and Violetta, she looked completely exhausted.
âYeah, but it seems she relies heavily on Mr. Darcy. Itâs probably not going to be easy.â
Lego shook his head and then turned to look at Delin.
âRegardless, thanks for your help today.â
âStill saying things like that to me.â
Delin smiled.
âWhat youâre doing now is much more meaningful than what we did before. I may not like to be active, but Iâm still very happy to be involved from time to time.â
âBy the way you speak of it, Yasuiâs situation doesnât seem good now?â
âWeâve certainly taken some hits before, but itâs still far from enough. Iâd be glad if they started biting each otherâs heads off.â
Lego snorted lightly, his tone one of relishing the commotion.
âThese past years, theyâve been up to too much, making this place increasingly uncomfortable to live in.â
âToo bad that even with problems, Second Phase is still Second Phase. With Yasui Tokiyuki at the helm, changing the situation on Ye Island seems very difficult.â
âŠ
After experiencing a bit of familial warmth, Fu Qian and Su Gao took to the streets for a stroll, planning to walk back like this.
Although a lot had happened, theoretically, he had just completed his weekly mission yesterday, so he was similarly not in a hurry to check in.
After yesterdayâs trip to Mist Society Temple, the most urgent matter now was probably for Carlos, who had messed things up.
His previous attitude was clearly to keep the situation under control.
However, Takahashi Yaehiro might not be so cooperative, and it was difficult to confirm how she would report once back.
Giving them some time to digest the information internally, then Fu Qian was very much looking forward to what kind of surprise Carlos would bring him.
Would he shake things up, trying to crush the matter without considering the consequences? Or would he admit his mistakes to his superiors, realizing he couldnât cover it up?
Whichever the case, it seemed preparations needed to be made.
âAre you buying something?â
Su Gao was enjoying the leisurely atmosphere when, suddenly, she saw Fu Qian walk to the side.
âYeah, I found something interesting that suits my personality pretty well.â
Fu Qian casually fiddled with a string of masks hanging outside the shop and picked one out as he spoke.
It was oval-shaped, pale in color, with holes cut out for the mouth and eyes, and distinctive dark red stains above and below the eyes.
The material was ordinary, but it seemed to be made with care.
Youâre the one, my next outfit for entertaining guests.
