"The rules of this great world have some tricks indeed!" Under the scrutinizing gaze of the middle-aged man reading the newspaper, Muria slowly ascended the stairs and entered Jiuli's room.
He felt that if he didn't leave the man's daughter's side soon, the seemingly honest man was about to explode. To avoid unnecessary conflict, Muria left first.

He had also just attempted to awaken her, to no avail. Ordinary methods couldn't bring a member of his own kind back to consciousness; it required a more aggressive approach.
"Do I really need to beat such a young girl to the brink of death? That's utterly despicable," he thought of Heloise's appearance during the Reincarnation Contract and rubbed his face.
