Clearly, Delin didn’t tell his wife about another purpose of today’s visit.

Because when Mrs. Delin heated up the refreshments, she even brought back a slender girl.

With black short hair, bright eyes, inheriting her father’s height and her mother’s facial features, Captain Lego hadn’t bragged about his friend’s daughter, but she was indeed a beautiful girl.

Only now, her face was tense, seemingly reluctant to greet the guests as her mother asked.

Just over ten years old, an early onset of teenage rebellion was quite normal.

Of course, if Mrs. Delin knew about her past experiences, she should understand that it was important to indulge her daughter’s rebellion.

“This is Rebecca.”

Mrs. Delin had her daughter set down the tray of snacks, introduced her with a smile, and gestured for her to greet the guests.

Although it was clear she was reluctant, Rebecca still greeted everyone with very proper etiquette.

And all the time, Delin’s face was somewhat grim.

Clearly, he was not keen on his daughter interacting with the likes of Darcy.

It wasn’t so much a worry as it was a protective father’s instinct, feeling that a scumbag like him casting a glance at his daughter was a desecration.

What slightly comforted him was that, in the face of his daughter’s greetings, Darcy Crawford maintained an unwavering gaze and politely responded before focusing on his tea.

It seemed he was still aware of life and death, the madness he showed earlier might not be genuine but a facade.

Having evaded the law for so long, Darcy’s sense for danger was undoubtedly top-notch.

Delin hummed to himself inwardly.

Today, between him and Lego, there indeed existed an unspoken understanding.

Though he had retired and no longer roamed around, after many years of experience, he was not naive enough to believe in completely detaching from the Supernatural World.

The Transcendent powers had already become inextricably linked with this world, on every level.

So he hadn’t completely cut off contact with old friends, and he hadn’t chosen to live in a deliberately secluded place.

A stable and orderly system could provide a sense of security.

Thus, when Captain Lego found him and described the beast’s deeds, he didn’t hesitate for too long to accept this risky suggestion.

On one hand, it was a friend’s trouble; on the other, it was a chance to maintain good interaction with the Night Watchman, and finally, for the victims who were not much older than his own daughter.

…

As for why he didn’t continue just now and crush that guy to death, it wasn’t that he didn’t want to.

Directing such a scenario is delicate; if mishandled, it could completely alter the intended effect.

Everything up to that point was ideal–the guy had indeed followed him and showed no awareness of danger, immediately uttering words that could cause misunderstandings.

Responding with instant anger was a natural reaction, but with an eyewitness like Violetta watching, to kill him with a slap without a word would have been somewhat abrupt.

If that guy had shown even a hint of defiance, persisting in his insolence… or even a slight show of weakness, it wouldn’t have mattered.

Who would have thought he’d suddenly start discussing tutoring classes, completely changing the subject from earlier.

Under such circumstances, to force an attack would make it hard to justify later on.

…

“Violetta, did you go out yesterday?”

After greeting everyone, Rebecca politely sat down beside her mother, but considering she was forced to make an appearance, she naturally didn’t strike up a conversation.

Seeing everyone fall silent, it was Suzune’s undeniable duty to step in and liven up the atmosphere in time.

Of course, she still avoided talking to Fu Qian directly.

“Yes, we went to the Mist Society Temple yesterday.”

Su Gao admitted straightforwardly.

The Night Watchman had followed them all the way to their car yesterday; all that acting was for maintaining composure at this precise moment.

…

Suzune obviously knew why the Mist Society Temple was famous, and she glanced at the captain subconsciously.

“`
Hmph!

Lego’s response was full of disdain.

“I must say, Captain Lego’s words yesterday were quite enlightening,”
Fu Qian picked up the topic quite naturally.

“Given the urgency to break the barrier between the Supernatural World and mortals, we set off not long after you left.”

“Oh, so you broke the barrier, did you?”

Lego asked, with a smirk that barely hid his contempt.

“Well, how should I put it, the game was indeed quite interesting,”
Fu Qian extended his left hand, his fingers flexibly moving to manipulate the exquisite insignia between them.

At the request of Kagetsu Kana, he had chosen to carry it with him today.

“Depth four…”

Suzune had clearly been watching that show quite closely, and after noticing the four stars on it, she mumbled to herself almost immediately.

“Only depth four? I thought you would be at least a seven or above,”
Realizing that everyone’s attention, including the captain’s, had turned to her, Suzune felt a bit embarrassed and instinctively showed her contempt for Fu Qian.

“Actually, I’m quite low-key by nature. This four-star one was a gift from someone else,”
Unfortunately, this level of verbal attack was something that Fu Qian was completely immune to.

“But I do quite like the number seven,”
“Considering the enthusiasm those young people have for it, going out wearing a seven-star insignia must make a rather impressive statement. Doesn’t that count as breaking barriers on the level of influence?”

That question was addressed to Lego.

“If it could make you immune to fire and water,”
The latter, unwilling to be outdone, scoffed in response.

“You might as well take it and have a stroll in a Forbidden Area and then come back.”

“Not going,”
Fu Qian answered both curtly and shamelessly.

“I’d rather break the regional barriers right here.”

“You think there’s no danger to life here–”
Lego slapped his teacup down and managed to restrain himself from standing up, turning his head away with scorn.

“It’s just a child’s plaything, meaningless.”

“Uncle Lego, I’m sorry but I have to disagree with you,”
Just then, a somewhat immature voice rang out.

It was none other than Rebecca, who had been silent all along, speaking up in Fu Qian’s defense against Lego.

“What do you mean?”

Not only Lego, but everyone was taken aback, looking at Rebecca who was speaking earnestly.

“It’s impolite to belittle others’ preferences so casually,”
Rebecca remained composed even as she became the center of attention.

“There is one thing that Mr. Darcy said that I agree with, even if we can’t see the ‘meaning’ you talk about, it’s at least interesting, and that’s enough,”
“Rebecca–”
Seeing his daughter suddenly coming out with a rebuttal against Lego, Mr. Delin instinctively tried to stop her.

Whether it was agreeing with the Infamy Rule or with Darcy, the villain, it was clearly something he did not want to see.

“Whether you’re willing to acknowledge it or not, at least more and more people are getting to know it, right?”

Unfortunately, his reprimand had no effect; Rebecca merely glanced at him and continued, pointing to the insignia in Fu Qian’s hand.
