Nero emerged victorious once again in this battle. The foolish cat licked its own mouth, assuming a posture that seemed to mock the defeated opponent. It lightly leaped back onto its owner's shoulder.

As for Sui Wei, he was already lying on the ground, groaning in pain. "God... I, who was like a god, have been defeated... God... I, who was like a god..."

God? No, no, no. You're more like a moron.

Just at that moment, an elderly man with white hair, dressed in a butler's uniform, suddenly arrived in a luxurious carriage. He pulled on the reins and abruptly stopped beside Sui Wei. "Young master!" The butler jumped down from the carriage. "We have finally found you!"

"God... I, who was like a god..."

"Everyone, the young master is here!"

Upon the butler's call, two maids immediately emerged from the carriage. "Oh, young master, how did you get injured?"

"Young master, did you cause trouble for someone again?"

The butler waved his hand. "Anyway, let's take him back."

"Wait, that beautiful lady, promise to have dinner with me!" Sui Wei attempted to struggle to get up from the ground.

However, the butler completely ignored Sui Wei's words as if they were a mere whisper in his ear. "Li and Fei, hold onto the young master's upper body and lift him up."

"Yes!"

"Understood!"

And so, the two maids skillfully grabbed onto Sui Wei's legs and, with combined strength, lifted him up. "Come," the butler called out, "one, two, three!"

After a few shakes, they tossed Sui Wei onto the carriage like throwing away garbage. The butler clapped his hands, dusted off his clothes, and clicked his tongue twice.

Once the incredibly awkward atmosphere settled among the crowd, the butler and his group noticed me and my daughter.

"We have caused you trouble," the butler said with a bow, followed by the other two.

"It's... it's nothing." I nodded slightly as a gesture of acknowledgement.

And just like that, within a few minutes, they took Sui Wei away.

"Dad," Cascia still had lingering fear, "that person just now was really strange."

"...I don't think he meant any harm."

This person probably often causes trouble for his own servants.

"I shouldn't have come here in the first place." Cascia grumbled. "Such a strange person."

"Let's go to the Trade Association now." I looked at the sky. "If we go now, we should be able to sort things out by tonight."

The Trade Association should provide us with accommodation and meals. The village elder uncle already told me about these arrangements.

"Let's go." I held my daughter's tender hand. "First..."

Because of Sui Wei's presence earlier, the square was filled with many people, so it was a bit chaotic when they dispersed. I wasn't paying attention and accidentally bumped into someone from the side.

With a startled "ah," the other person fell to the ground.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry."

I immediately turned around to apologize after bumping into the person, but it was obviously too late. The girl was already on the ground, with half of her body sitting in the fountain.

The girl appeared to be a year or two older than Cascia, with long golden hair and a very quiet demeanor.

With my support, this slightly clumsy girl climbed out of the water.

"...I'm fine." The girl seemed shy. "It was my own carelessness. I'm sorry."

This girl seemed very mature. It was clearly my fault, but she was the one apologizing.

"Well, I should be the one to apologize." I felt a bit embarrassed.

"Dad, you're really not attentive at all," Cascia complained about me.

What? Daughter, when I hold your little hand, all my attention is on you. Who has the time to care about other things?

"Here, take this." Cascia took out a towel from our belongings. "Wipe yourself dry first."

"Ah, thank you." The girl expressed her gratitude.

The weather today is still warm, so she probably won't catch a cold. It should dry quickly with the towel.

Hmm... Although the girl didn't get too wet, judging from her sitting in the water, her underwear should be damp. That must be uncomfortable, having wet fabric sticking against sensitive areas and being bad for her body."It's better to take it off," I touched my chin and stared at the girl, "otherwise it will be uncomfortable."
