Chapter 970: Chapter 968: Watching the Drama Chapter 970: Chapter 968: Watching the Drama It was clear that Tyler was genuinely surprised by Fu Qian’s reaction.
Despite the inherent pride of the Bloodline Clan, Tyler ultimately maintained his composure with an upright stance.
“Mr. Fang, my visit this time is mainly to apologize for the impoliteness I showed previously.”
However, after sitting down, his cautious tone still unavoidably revealed itself.
“That’s all right, we who run businesses don’t take such things to heart.”
South’s Tyler wasn’t here to settle scores; on the contrary, his tone carried a genuine apology, and Fu Qian, surprised as he was, naturally continued the congenial business rhetoric.
Moreover, it was the truth; he had profited handsomely from their past collaborations, so how could he harbor negative sentiments?
…
Fu Qian’s demeanor was not at all like what Tyler had imagined, clearly causing him to doubt himself.
After carefully observing and confirming that Fu Qian was not speaking sarcastically, Tyler heaved a sigh of relief and explained the reasoning behind his actions.
“A few days ago, an elder of the clan spoke to me, and for the first time, I learned about some details regarding recent events in Shangjing… I am grateful for the help you provided my clan throughout the incident.”
It was a mix of apologies and gratitude; although Fu Qian did not greatly doubt his sincerity, Tyler’s character made him furrow his brows slightly.
“You’re welcome. Did Grantham send you?”
“…Yes.”
Tyler hesitated for a moment but then admitted it when his assumption was guessed.
As expected, it seemed Selana and Grantham had communicated, letting the Shangjing representative of the Gulad know about the matters Tyler had hinted at through Selana.
Not surprising, as an eyewitness to the entire event, Grantham would definitely be sensitive to Yuan Shan’s application of law and would certainly try to confirm the reasons behind it.
Theoretically, understanding Selana’s hints and acting accordingly was indeed quite significant for Gulad this time.
Grantham was clearly sharp, but after experiencing Fu Qian’s low-key style, it was unlikely he would send someone to bother him specifically…
“Actually, I came here because there is another decision from the clan I would like to convey to you.”
True to form, Brother Tyler’s repertoire of subtle terms wasn’t extensive; upon closer inspection from Fu Qian, the conversation quickly shifted to the main point.
“About the Abyssal Chronicle you acquired from me previously… the clan is pleased that we were able to collaborate and hopes it can be of help to you. Moreover, it would be even better if you could keep some of the Bloodline Clan’s secrets confidential.”
Tyler’s choice of words was decidedly careful.
So this was an overture from Gulad? Expressing that the Abyssal Chronicle henceforth belonged to him.
Although he had no intention of returning it either, this gesture of sincerity was appreciated.
As for the Bloodline Clan’s secrets, he certainly knew many, some of which could damage the clan’s dignity.
As someone not interested in gossip, the request for appropriate secrecy was not difficult for him.
“I understand. Please give my regards to Grantham.”
Without any hesitation, Fu Qian nodded in agreement.
Interactions with Gulad had suddenly turned favorable, as if sweeping away dust to reveal a once obscured picture and thawing any animosity.
“I won’t disturb you any longer, then.”
Having conveyed the message from the clan and seeing Fu Qian’s unexpectedly amiable attitude, Tyler let out a sigh of relief and chose to take his leave quickly.
What shocked him again was the notoriously grumpy bookstore owner personally got up to see him out, even going as far as the door.
“Tyler?”
In his daze, before he could figure out what was happening, a young woman had already rushed over, her voice carrying a sob as she called out.
Tyler, whose mind was already in a haze, finally lost his composure and almost jumped up.
“Who are you?”
After looking closely at the tear-stained face, Tyler’s first reaction was utter bafflement, and he instinctively tried to explain to the onlookers.
“I don’t know her, okay?”
Unfortunately, the lady’s soft call just now truly had an infectious power, and the many spectators who were drawn in were clearly unimpressed with his evasive response.
Among them was Fu Qian, watching the scene with great interest.
Noticing Fu Qian’s attitude, Tyler seemed to suddenly understand why the man insisted on accompanying him.
He had realized earlier – the guy was here for the spectacle.
“Tyler~”
But before he could express his opinion further, the lady let out an even more plaintive call and even rushed forward, attempting to grab his hand.
Of course, for a wary Middle Superhuman, her intentions had no chance of success.
Tyler swiftly retreated eight meters and took a defensive stance. Seeing this, the lady finally gave up her efforts, revealing a heartbreaking smile, and muttered to herself.
“Why isn’t it you… Why…”
A victim of bodysnatching?
While Tyler was still confused, Fu Qian among the onlookers realized something.
Since the beginning, Fu Qian had noticed that this lady was peering into the bookstore, clearly emotionally unstable.
Because Tyler was also emotionally unstable, he had failed to notice in time and was caught red-handed.
Fu Qian was inclined to believe Tyler’s statement; he truly did not recognize the woman, and given the eerie dialogue, could it be that she was one of the previous bodysnatching victims?
And it seemed she wasn’t angry about that incident but rather disappointed that Tyler wasn’t the one behind it?
Being reputedly from the Bloodline Clan and good-looking, it wasn’t surprising that South’s Tyler had such fans.
Fu Qian mused and admired the situation while, at that moment, Tyler finally caught on.
“That has nothing to do with me, the Night Watchman have already clarified that. It was someone named Daneta who did it, and they are actively searching for him.”
It appeared that Tyler was quite experienced in dealing with such matters, speaking calmly and pushing people miles away, leaving no room for further thought.
And Chief Yuan was indeed a Fierce Man; he was really slick at throwing dirt on the deceased.
…
Clearly, Tyler’s response was quite effective. Filled with unreconciled heartbreak, the lady reluctantly shifted her gaze from his face, covered her face to sob, and ran away crying.
“I really am being framed…”
Although he knew the man was just here to watch the drama, Tyler couldn’t help but feel somewhat embarrassed to be seen in this compromising position by Fu Qian.
“I still can’t understand to this day why someone would do such a thing. That Daneta is really inexplicable!”
Whenever he mentioned the name, Tyler was clearly grinding his teeth.

“The last time he even made sure to leave claw marks, which was a stroke of luck since I was already with the Night Watchman then.”
“Anyway, he better keep hiding, because if I catch him, I won’t let him off… I’m really very confident about this, I have never had intimate contact with any human woman!”
“It’s okay, intimate contact doesn’t matter.”
Facing Tyler’s defense, Fu Qian remained noncommittal and offered up a practical tip.
“Just remember to use garlic.”
