Caelan took two stunning beauties shopping with him.

In an instant, they drew the attention of countless people. After all, a combination of handsome man and beautiful women would cause a stir no matter where they went.

Not to mention, their group had a full three people!

And the two beauties among them were twins. Naturally, that made quite a few people’s imaginations run wild.

"You two are so boring. What is there to stroll around in a place like this?"

Evelyn stomped her foot impatiently. In truth, she did not like being stared at by so many people as though she were some kind of animal on display.

Mirror Image, on the other hand, did not care about the gazes around them at all. Instead, she proudly tightened her hold around Caelan’s arm and asked him with a radiant smile,

"Lord Caelan, before this, have you ever had a girlfriend?"

In truth, Mirror Image cared very much about whether her current identity counted as Caelan’s first love.

Faced with this question, the corner of Caelan’s mouth twitched slightly. But soon, he calmly waved his hand.

"Of course. But we broke up a long time ago."

In reality, Caelan had never had a girlfriend before this.

But he knew very well what Mirror Image was thinking, so he deliberately refused to follow the path she had set out for him.

Sure enough, Mirror Image’s face immediately revealed a look of disappointment.

But in the next moment, she seemed to think of something. She turned her head again and looked proudly at Evelyn.

"Evelyn, it seems your little wish will be very difficult to realize. Lord Caelan has already had a girlfriend before. You won’t be his first love."

"Compared to that, you really are pitiful. You have never even tasted the flavor of love!"

"Tsk, tsk, tsk. It truly breaks my heart."

By now, Evelyn had long since become immune to Mirror Image’s words.

She gave Mirror Image a huge eye roll, then immediately shot back,

"You make it sound so easy, but haven’t you also never dated anyone before?"

Mirror Image froze slightly.

Then, almost subconsciously, she tightened the arm she had wrapped around Caelan’s.

"No. I’m different from you. Right now, I’m no longer single."

Evelyn: "..."

If it were not for the fact that Caelan still had questions he wanted to ask Mirror Image, Evelyn would have seriously considered paying any price to destroy this hateful mirror image.

Everything she was doing was clearly meant to anger her on purpose.

Too much.

This was simply too much!

Evelyn felt her fists hardening.

Meanwhile, the duplicated staff also circled back and forth around Mirror Image. At the same time, it established communication with Caelan.

"Lord Caelan, you really are an interesting fellow. No wonder my master and my master’s original self both like you so much."

Caelan smiled faintly. Then he rolled his neck slightly and looked toward the duplicated staff.

"So, you should know about Kate, right?"

Caelan asked the duplicated staff tentatively.

Although it was only the Mirror Image of the Supreme Staff, it should still know quite a lot.

However, when faced with Caelan’s question, the duplicated staff remained extraordinarily calm.

"If you want to know these things, you will need to show more sincerity." 𝒇𝒓𝙚𝒆𝔀𝓮𝓫𝒏𝓸𝙫𝓮𝓵.𝓬𝙤𝙢

"For example, I hope you will express more love toward my master!"

Caelan nodded lightly.

The other party’s demand was also within his expectations.

"Fine."

In truth, if Evelyn were not present, Caelan would not have minded making a small sacrifice.

After all, in many cases, one could only gain something by giving something up.

But the problem was that Evelyn was still here, so many things were not very convenient.

Besides...

Just as Caelan’s thoughts began to wander, he suddenly realized that something was not quite right.

Wait.

Could Mirror Image be doing this for some other purpose?

For example...

Was she deliberately stalling for time?

Thinking of this, a trace of seriousness flashed through Caelan’s eyes.

At that moment, Mirror Image beside him suddenly spoke.

"It’s really hot today. I want a cold drink. How about we try the iced grape wine from Rum Manor?"

"I heard the grape wine there has the effect of stirring desire. I like you very much, Lord Caelan. I hope we can develop our relationship further."

After saying this, she even cast Evelyn a deliberately provocative glance.

Caelan’s expression remained calm. He pointed toward a Snow King beverage shop in the distance.

"Let’s go. We’ll choose Snow King instead. If you two don’t like it, you don’t have to follow me. In any case, I am a loyal devotee of the Snow King."

In truth, Caelan chose to buy drinks from Snow King not only because he wanted to disrupt Mirror Image’s rhythm.

He also had another purpose.

He wanted to stop for a while and sort through the current situation.

At the same time, he wanted to find another opportunity to see whether he could pry open the duplicated staff’s mouth.

Through their earlier conversation, Caelan had discovered that the duplicated staff’s vigilance and intelligence were not on the same level as the Supreme Staff’s.

Perhaps his breakthrough point lay here.

Neither Evelyn nor Mirror Image refused Caelan’s suggestion.

Mirror Image in particular did not get angry because Caelan had rejected her idea. Instead, she rushed over like a sweet, dependent little bird and hugged Caelan’s arm again.

"Lord Caelan, you’re so amazing!"

"I heard the drinks sold by Snow King are especially expensive. Have you really fallen for me, so you’re willing to spend money on me?"

Caelan said nothing.

He merely smiled faintly.

Mirror Image did not care about Caelan’s reaction at all. Instead, she turned her gaze toward Evelyn beside them.

"My dear original self, what would you like to drink?"

"The generous me can allow my dear Lord Caelan to pay for you too!"

Evelyn glared at her and was just about to speak when her communicator suddenly rang.

It was a call from Commander Merlin, the commander of the Supreme Staff Legion.

Evelyn froze slightly, then subconsciously pressed the answer button.

On the other side, Mirror Image smiled as she looked in Evelyn’s direction.

My dear original self.

The real show is only just beginning!

...

Human Capital, Supreme Staff Legion Headquarters.

Inside the office that belonged to the commander, all kinds of decorations brimming with technological elements were arranged neatly throughout the room.

The silver-white interior gave the entire office an intense futuristic atmosphere.

At this very moment, in front of the long table in the office, Commander Merlin of the Supreme Staff Legion was engaged in a deep conversation with Commander Caesar of the Ironclad Legion.

The current situation was that the top legions of the entire human race had already established a deeper level of cooperation.

Their goal was the same.

They were all excavating clues related to the Inheritors, and they had invested a tremendous amount of manpower, resources, and wealth into it.

However, even so, they still had not made any further research progress or discoveries regarding the inheritance items left behind by the previous generations of Chosen Ones.

Of course, they had not gained nothing at all.

The newly discovered Fragments of History had also brought them some entirely new things!
