Chapter 204

“Eh?” Fang Li was dumbfounded when he saw Aria suddenly lower her head and start crying.


Quickly, Fang Li approached, sat next to Aria, and began patting her back, asking, “What happened? Why are you suddenly crying?”


“It’s nothing…” Aria pouted her lips, wiping away her tears, and said with a somewhat tearful smile, “I’m just too happy. It’s the first time someone said that my mom was falsely accused.”


“Your mom?” Fang Li was stunned on the spot.


In this situation, Aria bit her lip and looked at Fang Li, saying, “The person arrested under the accusation of being a Butei Assassin is my mom.”


Upon hearing this, Fang Li finally understood the situation.


No wonder Aria had been tracking this culprit even before the incident began.


Initially, Fang Li was also curious. As an S-Rank Butei, Aria shouldn’t have a reason to keep chasing after a mere copycat criminal.


Now, Fang Li finally realized that Aria had determined from the beginning that this culprit was a true Butei Assassin, which is why she had been following the case so closely.


Moreover, Aria added in a low voice, “Not only is it a Butei Assassin, but my mom also bears the accusations of many members of a very powerful organization. The Butei Assassin is just one member of this organization.”


“A very powerful organization?” Fang Li furrowed his brows and asked, “What organization is that?”


“I can’t tell you that,” Aria raised her head, her innocent charming face showing a hint of seriousness as she said, “It’s an organization that even many big countries fear. If you leak any information, the secret agencies of this country will be on your tail.”


“Is that so?” Fang Li’s tightly knitted brows gradually relaxed, and he said nonchalantly, “I’m happy to stay out of it, but your mom bears the accusations of many people in that organization. What are you going to do about it?”


“Of course, I’ll arrest them all!” Aria said without hesitation, “I’ll catch all those criminals who framed my mom and clear her name!”


“Since that’s the case, it means that I, as your partner, will eventually have to face them too,” Fang Li glanced at Aria and said with a faint smile, “Even if you don’t tell me, I’ll find out eventually.”


Aria was left speechless and sat upright on the sofa. Her crimson eyes secretly glanced at Fang Li, and she asked cautiously, “Do you regret it?”


Aria was, of course, referring to Fang Li becoming her partner.


In order to save her falsely accused mother, Aria had to confront the criminal organization feared by many countries.


And one can imagine how dangerous it would be for a small Butei to face such a formidable enemy.


Perhaps Aria was so eager to find a partner because she needed someone with the ability to deal with this organization.


In other words, Fang Li had been dragged into this.


However, at this moment, Fang Li smiled.


It was a genuine smile from the heart.


‘Regret? I have been waiting for this moment.’ Fang Li thought to himself.


In the past year, Fang Li had been diligently working on Main Quest Two and had completed many commissions, gaining 3500 Quest Points.


In other words, Fang Li had already completed Main Quest Two.


As for Main Quest Three and Main Quest Four, Fang Li hadn’t actively pursued them.


On one hand, it was because Fang Li had devoted himself to Main Quest Two. On the other hand, he hadn’t found the opportunity yet.


Main Quest Three required Fang Li to collect the blood of extraordinary people.


In this world, many historically famous extraordinary people had left their bloodlines behind, leading to the emergence of numerous Superhumans in this world.


In front of Fang Li, Aria was one of them, inheriting the bloodline of the famous detectives in the United Kingdom. Although she didn’t inherit the deductive ability, she possessed extraordinary strength.


Tohyama Kinji’s Tohyama family was another example of such bloodlines.


In Butei High, there were many people like them.


However, Fang Li couldn’t just go around asking people for their blood, right?


Of course, if he really wanted blood, Fang Li had ways to obtain it.


So, Fang Li had originally planned to focus on completing Main Quest Two before considering Main Quest Three.


Now, it was time to start.


But Main Quest Four required capturing a Non-Human Race criminal.


In this year, Fang Li had undertaken Commissioned Missions all over the place but hadn’t encountered any non-human beings, thus not finding an opportunity to complete the Quest.


Coupled with the fact that Fang Li hadn’t triggered any Side Quests during this year, depriving him of chances to earn extra Exchange Points, he was starting to wish for more things happening around him.


Clearly, Aria had brought him such an opportunity.


The opponent was a criminal organization feared even by major countries.


In such an organization, there was a high possibility of encountering non-human entities.


Facing such a formidable enemy would undoubtedly increase the chance of triggering Side Quests.


If there were also many individuals in the organization who inherited the bloodlines of extraordinary people, it would be even better.


With these thoughts in mind, Fang Li couldn’t help but genuinely smile.


So, Fang Li said, “Tell me.”


Hearing these words, Aria froze.


“The name.” Fang Li looked at the perplexed Aria and said, “At least tell me the name of that criminal organization.”


Hearing this, Aria hesitated for a moment, then slowly spoke up.


“I-U.”


“I-U…” Fang Li lowered his head and silently noted down the name.


Then, Fang Li asked Aria, “So, first, it’s the Butei Assassin, right?”


Aria blinked her eyes, seemingly not fully grasping the situation.


Seeing her like that, Fang Li smiled and said, “First, let’s capture this Butei Assassin. That way, your mom’s name can be partially cleared, and the debt the Butei Assassin owes me can also be settled.”


“In other words…” Aria said with excitement, “You won’t regret being my partner?”


Fang Li looked at Aria, smiled suddenly, and softly replied, “Butei Charter, Article 2: Absolutely adhere to the contract made with the one who commissions you.”


“Since you agreed to my conditions, I will abide by the agreement and become your partner.”


“I would absolutely have no regrets.”


Fang Li’s words made Aria’s crimson eyes shimmer and, in the end, she smiled happily.


That smile was unlike any other, radiating cuteness.
