My wife, who's in a vegetative state, please stop eavesdropping on my thoughts.

Not far away, Nefertir, who was surrounded by a group of guests like a star, spotted Vera in the crowd at a glance.

Her eyes lit up, and she was about to turn around and say hello—

However, as soon as she set off, she was surrounded by a large group of overly enthusiastic nobles, making it impossible for her to break free.

There was no other way; in Moonlit City, besides the Selenes family, the Wilderhes family was the most prominent.

Although the Wilderhes family of Moonlit City is only a branch, the main Wilderhes family is so powerful that their absolute authority is enough to make local nobles flock to them.

However, Vera simply waved at Nefertir, seemingly unconcerned.

Then, she turned her gaze to the entrance of the banquet hall and looked at the green-haired girl who was guarding the door.

Mona still looked sleepy, leaning against the doorpost, her body about to collapse.

"This lazybones, how can he sleep so soundly in a situation like this?"

"Vera..."

Mona was slightly taken aback when she saw Vera.

She instinctively wanted to reach out and say hello, but then she suddenly remembered the group she had mentioned a few days ago.

She even had a little squabble with Vera, then let out a soft hum and turned her head away.

By the way, the two of them are currently giving each other the cold shoulder.

Whoever speaks first is a dog.

Before long, a richly decorated carriage slowly came to a stop in front of the Chamber of Commerce.

The moon emblem, bearing the Selenis family crest, engraved on the carriage silenced everyone present.

A few seconds later, as the curtain was lifted, Weiss, dressed in a silver tuxedo, slowly stepped down from the Serenes family carriage, while Aunt Bai, as usual, leaned on his shoulder.

When they first met Weiss in a formal setting, the nobles around them, who were exchanging pleasantries, had various expressions.

"This is the newly appointed head of the Selenes family?"

"This guy... is he the commoner who married the woman in a vegetative state?"

"I heard that he temporarily took over the position of head of the family while Lady Adele was away."

The murmurs of conversation were deafening.

It's obvious that Viss doesn't have a good reputation in Moon City.

How dare a mere commoner be worthy of a marriage alliance with the Selenenis family?

In order to win the favor of the Selenes family, he did not hesitate to marry a person in a vegetative state.

Such a plot and scenario would hardly be considered a good story, no matter where it is set up.

Even though he currently wields the Selenis family crest and can act with impunity, his reign of glory won't last long. After all, the Black World extermination team has been gone for over half a month, and Adele will likely be back soon.

At this moment, since no one paid any attention to Weiss, naturally no one came up to talk to him.

Weiss, always carefree, naturally ignored the strange looks, but the next second, his gaze fell on Vera, who wasn't wearing a mask—

His steps involuntarily paused slightly.

What's going on? This crazy woman actually took off her mask today?

He looked closely and then realized that Vera was wearing colored contact lenses, which completely covered her heart-shaped pupils.

Seeing this, Aunt Bai, who was perched on his shoulder, complained irritably:

"I knew it! I couldn't find a box of colored contact lenses anywhere lately."

"It seems that Xiao Wei, that little brat, stole it."

"Of all the things this guy could take, he had to take that discontinued model..."

Weiss was preoccupied with Vera's affairs and didn't hear Aunt Bai's complaints at all.

Although he had already seen Vera's true face using the false identity of the Moon Emperor.

The problem is that, from the perspective of "Wess," his public identity, he had never seen Vera without her mask before; this was the first time he had seen her like this.

So, in just three seconds...

Weiss had already mentally rehearsed the perfect route.

He pretends not to know her → Vera calls out to him → He feigns surprise → He screams loudly → His eyeballs fall out.

Okay, let's do it this way...

With this in mind, Weiss made a decisive decision.

To avoid being exposed, he pretended not to know Vera and swaggered right past her.

"..."

"..."

However, just as Weiss was admiring his own cleverness...

His steps suddenly stalled at the very first step.

He looked around, somewhat puzzled.

He was suddenly startled to realize that Vera, Mona, and even Aunt Bai, who was leaning on his shoulder, were all staring at him with an incredibly eerie look.

Weiss: ?

"Don't be so harsh on me." Aunt Bai lowered her voice and said sarcastically, "I've only ever heard of people with face blindness, but I've never heard of someone who can't even tell different hairstyles apart."

Although Aunt Bai couldn't understand why Weiss would pretend not to know Vera, who came to visit every day, when everything was fine.

But the way this guy acted just now was really too bizarre.

It feels like they're just nitpicking.

At the same time, Mona glanced at Weiss with equal confusion: "What kind of persona are you playing now?"

"Cough, cough cough—"

Weiss reacted quickly, coughing loudly twice to force an expression of surprise at having stumbled upon her, then turned to look at Vera "coincidentally," feigning hesitation as he spoke:

"Wait...could it be that, miss, you are actually...?"

Before she could finish speaking, Vera raised her foot expressionlessly and kicked Viss hard in the shin.

"hiss!"

After abruptly interrupting Viss's clumsy performance, Vera tossed her long, pink, curly hair and strode away.

Seeing the other woman walk straight into the brightly lit banquet hall, Weiss then sighed innocently, "This woman is getting more and more insane..."

Aunt Bai: "......"

That kick was powerful.

It's rare for me to support Vera.

A moment later, Weiss straightened his clothes and followed him into the banquet hall.

Then, his eyes slowly narrowed.

In this luxurious banquet hall, apart from the person in charge, Zell, who was dressed in formal attire, there was no one else present.

The Snow Knight, dressed in a snow-white uniform, also arrived.

Even more strangely, the previous Star Clock Ninth Hour was standing in a secluded corner, looking around with a leisurely and carefree expression.

Weiss looked around and found that they were all his enemies.

He couldn't help but reflect for a second.

"Speaking of which, haven't I made a lot of enemies lately?"

"It's lucky it hasn't been chopped into mincemeat yet..."

Weiss hasn't forgotten.

The Ninth Quarter and Zell were probably disgusted with their own actions.

Fortunately, after Weiss made a carefree observation, he discovered that there was probably zero people paying attention to him.

The Snow Knight surveyed his surroundings with an indifferent expression, especially his peripheral vision, which remained fixed on Ninth Hour.

Xingzhong, too lazy to pay attention to the other party at the ninth quarter, instead smiled and nodded at Weiss, who had just entered.

You can't hit someone who's smiling.

Weiss nodded casually in response.

Then, after taking only a few steps, he suddenly saw an old acquaintance he hadn't seen in a long time.

"Huh, Weiss?"

"Long time no see..."

A young nobleman, dressed in a green suit and with brown hair, happened to come face to face with Weiss.

It was none other than Oliver from the Crain family.

Some time ago, the two of them were invited to the Selenes Palace to compete as fellow addicts.

But by a twist of fate—

Oliver, an eighth-tier climate master, was kicked out by Selenes.

In contrast, Weiss, a commoner addicted to drugs, actually married that stunningly beautiful, comatose second daughter, and after Adele's departure, he brazenly became the temporary head of the Selenes family.

When they met again, Oliver's expression was somewhat complicated.

He actually hated Weiss a lot last month, feeling that Weiss had gotten incredibly lucky to steal his life away.

but......

He is different now.

After joining the Night Patrol, he gradually became the leader of the squad thanks to his weatherman abilities.

The respectful gazes of his companions and the importance placed on him by his family made him feel that his current life wasn't so bad after all.

That's right, I've been reborn...

He has completely transformed!!

He's no longer the arrogant, haughty, and disdainful Oliver he once was.

With a thousand thoughts swirling in his mind, Oliver began to exchange pleasantries in a gentle tone:

"Mr. Weiss, it's been a long time! You're a completely different person!"

"It seems you've been doing quite well lately."

"However... I also successfully joined the Night Patrol Division of Moonlit City by virtue of my status as an 8th-level Climate Master."

"If there's an opportunity in the future, we can discuss how addicts can utilize their abilities, or you can consult me ​​if you have any questions."

Weiss was accidentally hit by Hao.

He smiled slightly, offering a superficial compliment: "I know, I happened to be there when you went for your night patrol interview that day. Oliver, your dashing figure in the clear sky is as dashing and handsome as ever."

Dry-weather pull-out on a sunny day?

For some reason, Oliver sensed a strange, ambiguous hint of amusement in Weiss's words.

After suddenly realizing what was happening, his hand holding the wine glass froze in mid-air.

Wait, Weiss was there that day too!?

That can't be right!

Something feels off...?

Oliver's expression remained frozen for a long time.

Then, he slowly swallowed, staring incredulously at the silver-haired boy before him, and said in a trembling voice:

"So, that means you were there that day?"
