Genshin Impact: I, the Winter's Executor, am forced to work.

He couldn't care about anything else now; all he wanted was to get his sister away from this place of trouble.

But his sister didn't listen to him.

“Brother, I was just about to tell you that I might be going to Narukami Shrine tonight to discuss some new and interesting knowledge with Brother Qin Ye and Sister Miko. Please tell Thomas that you don’t need to prepare dinner for me.”

"..."

The milk tea inside her sleeve fell to the ground.

Chapter 85 The Prince

Stepping on the sand, a pavilion with borrowed scenery

Scaramucci sat in the courtyard, gazing into the distance, lost in thought.

"You really know how to pick a spot, you skirmisher."

An ominous fluctuation came from behind, and a figure slowly walked out.

"Hehe, I found it by simply blasting open the mountain. Inazuma is my hometown."

"Blast it open? Are you trying to say you're a cannon?"

"You came here just to cause trouble?"

The stragglers looked hostile, and their tone became somber.

"Hmph, I'm not that bored."

The man casually found a spot to lean against, a smirk playing on his lips: "Guess who I just saw outside?"

"Could it be Dionysus?"

"...Is he your man? He's always on your lips?"

The man opposite chuckled and reached out to smooth his golden hair.

"Are you trying to provoke me into a fight today? Are you trying to provoke me with every word?"

"I was just joking with you to lighten the mood."

Although his words seemed to mock the stragglers, his tone remained largely unchanged, and his gaze was fixed intently on their reactions.

The stragglers' eyes darted around, and they understood what the other party meant, and they laughed.

"I mean, really? We've been working together for so long, and you're still testing me? Am I really that untrustworthy?"

The blond man's lips twitched.

Don't you have any idea whether your personality is trustworthy or not?

Scaramucci, seeing that he had finally gained the upper hand, shrugged: "So, who did you see?"

"The fool's little lackey."

The soldier frowned, seemingly deep in thought: "Oh—it's that Lady Zangjing? I almost forgot about her if you hadn't mentioned her."

He stood up, walked over to the blond man, and put his arm around his shoulder.

"I say, you're a prince, after all. Do you have nothing better to do than stare at other people's lackeys all day? You might as well assassinate Dionysus and end it all."

He seemed to realize something and suddenly clapped his hands: "That's right, you can't beat that short little girl next to him."

A hateful glare was directed at him.

"You think you can beat her? Isn't she your third seat?"

The other side seemed to have been provoked, but the stragglers still wouldn't let it go.

"Of course I can't beat him, but I don't brag. Who was it that confidently claimed to have tricked the Eighth Divine Child at Shadow Mountain and then laid an ambush, making it impossible for the Heart of God to escape?"

The soldier leaned forward, his face close to the man's, deliberately widening only one eye to reveal his mockery, and gently shook his head as he spoke.

"As a result, someone came to Inazuma, played the koto, and chipped off a sharp stone, scaring someone so much that they slunk back. Who was it again? It couldn't have been me, could it? I don't think so?"

The prince slammed his fist against the wall, venting his anger.

"Hmph, I told you before, I'm not afraid of her if it really comes down to a fight, but if she comes back, her status will still be above mine. Whether I can beat her or not is a different matter from whether I can actually fight her."

Scaramucci was quite pleased to see that the other party had been thoroughly provoked.

"So? I just want to know, even though you won't tell me who that king is, I might as well make a bold guess: did Dionysus kidnap your mother or your sister?"

"Wang and I have a business relationship, not a father-son relationship."

The soldier silently kept this information in mind. It might be useful someday, but knowing it was always better than being kept in the dark.

But he's really easy to manipulate; a little provocation and he'll say everything he needs to say.

Indeed, a riddle maker is not necessarily intelligent, but an intelligent person is definitely a riddle maker.

"I'm sorry, I was just too excited. Don't be angry, we're still teammates, right?"

"Humph."

If you weren't still useful, I would have chopped your head off long ago.

Haha, I'm getting anxious!

The two were internally mocking each other at the same time.

"Getting back to the main point, I want to ask you, if we capture that maid, will it threaten Dionysus?"

Without hesitation, the stragglers answered immediately.

"Of course you can, but you must not reveal my location."

Why?

"Because I don't want to die yet."

"What do you mean?"

Scaramucci whispered a warning: "You think that man is an extremely rational person who is not swayed by emotions, because you haven't seen what he's like when he's acting crazy."

He straightened his hat and walked slowly around the 'prince'.

"It is said that rational people do not have a high upper limit for their outbursts, but rather a high point at which they can explode. Moreover, when a rational person becomes irrational... their terror will absolutely exceed your imagination."

"Stop keeping me in suspense."

The man urged hurriedly.

"I can assure you, this is my most, most, most important warning to you: that girl is indeed Dionysus's weakness, but if you lay a hand on her..."

The stragglers clenched their fists in front of their chests, then suddenly opened them wide: "Bang!"

"You'll be utterly annihilated, leaving not even ashes. He might even abandon the chance to obtain the Heart of Thor, sacrificing all his teammates just to find you. No matter where you hide, he'll use everything at his disposal to find you and then tear you apart piece by piece."

Seeing the other party's serious expression, the 'prince' finally took the matter to heart and frowned.

If it's him... then it might actually be true.

It's better to give him face then.

The man quickly changed the subject.

"Have you seen him when he's gone mad?"

"Actually, it can't be called going crazy. You'll just see him extremely calm, like a monster."

The stragglers organized their thoughts.

"Let me put it this way, he used to come from an orphanage. Back then, he wasn't an executive officer yet. He had some conflicts with others because of some interests, but he was still an innocent young man at the time. He was outmaneuvered by an old fox, and as a result, his classmates from the orphanage were given a hard time."

He lightly ran his hand across his neck: "Then they all died."

"The results of it?"

"you guess?"

"?"

Can you please stop panting when you speak?

Scaramucci suddenly burst into laughter, appearing very happy.

"Hahaha! I actually paid attention to him back then. It's no exaggeration to say that if it weren't for the Empress and the 'Clown' getting involved, you could still see the skeletons of those old foxes on the streetlights in the most bustling part of Zhidong right now."

This is the tragedy of ordinary people: living for decades, yet still not as good as a ten-year-old child with divine eyes.

But then again, I really thought that kid would just betray the country and run away, but I didn't expect him to sit comfortably in the twelfth seat.

As for why the Queen and Piero spared him, it's probably because they had long wanted to eliminate some parasites before winter...

Hmm... but that doesn't seem to make much sense either.

It's possible that his use of the power of the Eye of God was too overpowered, and it's unknown what Dotore did to him during his experiments.

Tsk, who knows?

It can only be said that the Empress and the top three seats are on a completely different level from us.

Well, the top two spots, I really can't see what kind of schemes the "girl" could possibly devise.

Only a fool would dare to provoke Dionysus.

He secretly observed the blond man from behind, a smirk playing on his lips.

I just hope you won't be too confident.

Chapter 86 Thunder General ****

Tatiana arrived at the outskirts of Haiqi Island and rested for a while with her hands on her hips.

No wonder... Brother Qin Ye... said... this job... should be done by me.

I doubt that apart from you, young master, no one would run the entire course with such excitement.

She focused her attention on the island's patrol team, deftly bypassing their line of sight and entering the island.

This was already a job she was very good at.

Haigi Island has indeed entered a state of alert...
