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?

Its nothing Aria pouted her lips, wiping away her tears, and said with a somewhat tearful smile, Im just too happy. Its 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 a.s.sa.s.sin 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 shouldnt 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 a.s.sa.s.sin, which is why she had been following the case so closely.

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

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

I cant tell you that, Aria raised her head, her innocent charming face showing a hint of seriousness as she said, Its 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 Lis tightly knitted brows gradually relaxed, and he said nonchalantly, Im 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, Ill arrest them all! Aria said without hesitation, Ill catch all those criminals who framed my mom and clear her name!

Since thats 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 dont tell me, Ill 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 hadnt actively pursued them.

On one hand, it was because Fang Li had devoted himself to Main Quest Two. On the other hand, he hadnt 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 didnt inherit the deductive ability, she possessed extraordinary strength.

Tohyama Kinjis Tohyama family was another example of such bloodlines.

In Butei High, there were many people like them.

However, Fang Li couldnt 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 hadnt encountered any non-human beings, thus not finding an opportunity to complete the Quest.

Coupled with the fact that Fang Li hadnt 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 ent.i.ties.

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 couldnt 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, its the Butei a.s.sa.s.sin, right?

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

Seeing her like that, Fang Li smiled and said, First, lets capture this Butei a.s.sa.s.sin. That way, your moms name can be partially cleared, and the debt the Butei a.s.sa.s.sin owes me can also be settled.

In other words Aria said with excitement, You wont 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 Lis words made Arias crimson eyes s.h.i.+mmer and, in the end, she smiled happily.

That smile was unlike any other, radiating cuteness.
