Behind her, Megos pursed her lips and touched her lower abdomen.
“Megos’ parents were very happy with Lanluus and planned to invest all their savings in the steel company after their engagement. Fortunately, Lanluus ran away before this happened, which saved their family from a fatal loss. Unfortunately, my sister and brother-in-law had to explain the reason for the cancellation of the engagement to relatives and friends and had to worry about the child in Megos’s belly.”
“We all believe in the god of steam and machinery, not the lord of storms, and we don’t believe that lovers must remain chaste before marriage. We don’t blame Megos and even sympathize with her, but the child’s survival is indeed a dilemma, especially with a father like that…”
"Wait, isn't this a bit off?" Morion's voice suddenly rang out, echoing in everyone's minds. "Although the words 'not blaming' sound nice, you actually have no right to blame her, do you?"
"No matter what, she should be blaming you, after all, you're the one who introduced her."
Morion had put down his newspaper at some point and was looking at Christina with a strange expression. His mouth was not open, but he was speaking in Rune, which he had learned from the Hidden Sage.
I felt something was strange when I read the original novel.
It was clearly the man she introduced; it was clearly Megius who was the "victim."
Why was Christina able to say, "I don't blame her"?
Hmm...that seems to make sense?
Klein subconsciously glanced at Megos, who was standing quietly to the side, and found that the girl was quite a beautiful woman.
Then, the next second, Klein immediately realized that the voice had appeared directly in his mind, and Morion did not speak.
This person is definitely extraordinary!
Klein suddenly recalled the description of a supernatural race in the Night Watchers' documents, and he had also seen some photos of them.
Compared to other humans and hominids, this race has shallower eye sockets, a lower nasal bridge, gentler brow ridges, and a flatter forehead.
This is what elves look like, and it's also what people from the East look like.
In descriptions and photographs, the facial features of the elves are very similar to those of people from the East.
This idea suddenly made Klein feel as if he had been doused with cold water, and his previously excited emotions cooled down instantly.
Yes, people with East Asian facial features do exist in this world...
Klein sighed almost imperceptibly.
In the few seconds that Klein was thinking, Ms. Christina spoke angrily:
"I didn't know he was a fraud at the time! And didn't I not blame Megius?"
"So what?" Morion spread his hands in confusion. "Isn't this still your problem? Even if you meant well but ended up with something bad, does that mean it's not a bad thing? You clearly made a mistake, so why are you acting all magnanimous and forgiving her? It's so strange."
"Oh, right. In order to get your money back, you didn't hesitate to tear open her wounds in front of strangers, in public."
"I remember Emperor Roselle once said, 'Don't wash your dirty linen in public,' right?"
Do you really treat her like a human being?
Moraine looked puzzled, but her voice was sincere.
Klein noticed that everyone present was looking at Morion, but no one questioned Morion's "not opening his mouth when speaking".
Is this yet another extraordinary ability?
Christina immediately became agitated upon hearing Morion's words.
She pointed at Morion's nose, about to speak, when Klein suddenly squeezed between the two of them.
With a professional smile, he answered the question Christina had asked earlier.
"If it's a child who has already been born, I do have a way to use him to divine the approximate whereabouts of Lanluus. But unfortunately, it will take several months. Hmm... This may be the result of the divination you had with me before. Be patient, wait, persevere, stop being greedy, and then a turning point will come, and you will see the light of day."
Oh, my dear aunt...
You should say less...
Klein had a smile on his face, but sweat was seeping from his forehead.
To put your voice directly into someone else's head...
The captain has to pull someone into his dream first to do something like that...
There are also abilities that are clearly abnormal right in front of you, but ordinary people can't detect them at all.
Klein felt himself getting a little sweaty.
Morion's current performance suggests that he is likely a mid-sequence powerhouse, perhaps even a Sequence 7 or Sequence 6.
Moreover, he appears to be a wild extraordinary being.
Klein never considered all wild extraordinary beings to be dangerous, but he knew that arguing with a completely unrestrained mid-sequence would never end well.
And deep down, Klein also felt that what the masked man said was actually true...
Christina took a deep breath, no longer looking at Morion, but turning to look at Klein.
Christina looked at Klein, and her tone softened slightly.
"Several months..."
"No, so much time has passed, even if we find Lanius, we won't get the money back..."
She turned her head to look at the blonde, blue-eyed Megos, her voice involuntarily becoming deeper as she said:
Do you have any of Lanius's personal belongings?
Megos replied softly and gently:
"No."
After thinking for a moment, she added:
Does the ring he gave me count?
"No way."
Klein shook his head in denial.
"Items must have been carried for an extended period of time."
After saying that, he started frantically giving the receptionist, Angelica, meaningful glances.
Angelica immediately understood and went to Morion's side.
She didn't know anything about the extraordinary individuals, but it was never good for club members and guests to argue.
“Mr. Morion, there are many divination instruments in the divination room, if…”
“No need,” Morion said with a smile, waving his hand. “I’ll just sit here for a bit.”
After saying that, Moraine picked up the newspaper again and spread it out on her lap.
Angelica hesitated for a moment, then stepped back.
Ultimately, both sides had paid, so she couldn't say much.
Chapter 38 Prayer Worship
Christina paused for a few seconds, then looked at Megos and said:
“You have to make a decision. I think keeping this child will make your life difficult and full of thorns. Are you going to tell him that his father is a conman who has cheated many people, including his mother?”
"It's time to go to the clinic and the hospital, which will also help us find Lanius and get back what we've lost."
Do we have to forcibly remove it?
"Haha."
Morion's sneer came from behind Klein.
Klein didn't want to interfere in other people's family affairs, so he could only wait patiently from the sidelines.
It wasn't easy for him to turn back.
There's nothing he can do; he's just a lone Sequence Nine fortune teller now.
He kept emptying his mind, sketching out one ball of light after another in his mind, suppressing his surging thoughts through meditation.
Judging from Morion's ability to directly insert voices into his mind, Klein was somewhat worried that Morion possessed the ability to read minds.
His plan to report to the captain when he gets back might be discovered.
Hearing Christina's words, Megas lowered her head, her gaze downcast, and remained silent for a long time.
After a while, she touched her lower abdomen and smiled gently, saying:
“He is different from his father; he is a very considerate and lovable child.”
“He would gently kick me every day to tell me how he felt. He would also hum songs and whistle to help me fall asleep with music.”
Klein was currently in a daze and didn't react to Megos's words. Under normal circumstances, he would have noticed something was off about Megos's words.
In most cases, an embryo does not hum, whistle, or use music to help its mother fall asleep.
However, there were two exceptions among the five people present.
Looking at it this way, the probability doesn't seem low.
Just then, Megoss suddenly turned around, strode towards the door, and left only one sentence:
"Perhaps his father will secretly return because of his birth and will keep some of his wealth for him."
After saying that, she prepared to push open the club door.
"Wait," Moraine's voice rang out again.
His shout stopped Megos and also brought Klein out of his meditative state, drawing a very disapproving look from Christina.
Megoss paused, turned to Morion, and asked politely in a low voice:
"Sir, is there anything else you need?"
Although Moraine recently attacked her family, she is still a mentally sound person until she is completely corrupted by the baby in her womb.
Therefore, she can tell who is considering things from her perspective more.
Moraine gently touched the mask hanging on her cheek, her smile unchanged.
“I also have several children, so I can understand how you feel.”
So, do you want to protect the baby in your belly? Do you want him/her to survive smoothly?
He used the word "offspring" when describing his children, but none of the people present paid much attention to this detail, assuming it was just a slip of the tongue or a personal habit of his word choice.
