Chapter 1005: Chapter 362: Pertinent, Objective, and to the Point_4

"Ugh, how can you speak like that? Show some respect, that’s my mom!" Wayne was greatly displeased.

"Yeah, yeah, I’m just the kid that was picked up."

"Veronica, you weren’t picked up, you’re the girlfriend I met outside."

"..."

Veronica landed a punch on Wayne’s face, huffing, "Boring third-rate story, the female lead dies right at the start, not interesting at all. I’m going back to sleep, and you’re not allowed to bother me tonight, got it?"

"Got it, I’ll come to you at 1 am."

"Why so late?"

"You punched me, and I’ve written similar stories in my diary, so it’s fine!"

"..."

Veronica stormed out angrily, if she couldn’t be seen before 10 pm, then it was better not to see her ever again.

In the woods, there was a pitter-patter of sounds.

Different from the usual heavy and powerful ones, today’s seemed somewhat tactful, holding back.

Maybe Slyphy was happy; she trained for an extra half an hour today. By the time Wayne saw Austin again, it was already 9 pm.

...

In the study.

Megan set up a Soundproof Barrier outside the door, and the father and son began their official meeting inside.

Austin took off his coat and shirt, wrapped in layers of bandages like a live mummy production site.

The eye visible outside the gauze stared at Wayne, puzzled, "Strange, today you actually didn’t take the opportunity to frame me? Or are you waiting for me to let down my guard before you strike, saving the big moves for later?"

"As if I’ve ever framed you before."

Wayne curled his lips, a pity about the camera, or it would’ve come handy, "If you’re not sure, I have a few discarded versions here, all vividly describing your joyful times in the Inverted World. How about it, shall we call the teacher over?"

Seeing that Austin was silent, probably having conceded, Wayne cleared his throat and said formally, "The Inverted World has no Dreyne, Mula, or Leo, the God-chosen Knights. I met Dreyne, and this was confirmed from her. Demigod-level powers can’t be replicated by the mirror."

"When I encountered Austin, I asked if our Black Cat Monica was still around. He shook his head, Monica hadn’t been replicated."

"..."x3

Austin fiddled with the Ancient Silver Coin in his hands, his voice grave, "Is there any way to deal with that Black Cat?"

"You’ve tried many methods before and none worked, why ask suddenly?"

Wayne was curious, recalling how Austin had once suspected the Black Cat because, no matter if it was mailed or sunk in a cement barrel in the river, the Black Cat would always return to the Lando Manor unscathed, so he had given up.

"What worked in the past might not work now, what didn’t work before might just work now."

Austin looked at Wayne, "You are more precious to me than I am, you have a much stronger attraction to Monica, take it back to Wayne Manor, perhaps it won’t return."

"..."

"Say something!"

"Where’s the teacher? I just remembered I forgot a few important plots."

"I’m very serious, not joking; you’re not only more precious than me but also stronger. I can’t handle Monica, but you might," Austin said.

"You think too highly of me. After a walk outside, I’ve realized how big the world is and how weak I am," Wayne sighed.

Austin frowned, "No wonder you seem much more mature, is it because of the tragedy in the Inverted World?"

"In part, and there’s something very important. There’s a monster in the Inverted World..."

Wayne’s voice grew lower, "I don’t know what that monster is, only that its Essence of Life is extremely powerful; I couldn’t corrupt him, and Moonlight Knight Dreyne ran away scared by his power, I was very close to not coming back."

"More detail!"

"It’s like this..."

Wayne recounted the situation in the Inverted World, including all the parts he hadn’t told Slyphy and Veronica, and informed Austin about characters like the Sun Knight William and Naturalist Knight Saina, leaving Austin utterly astonished.

If these two were really the reserve knights, the Lando Family’s influence was about to experience another expansion.

You’re not only attractive to devils but also to knights. Have you really never considered attracting cats?

Hearing it all, Austin fell silent, his scalp tingling as he said, "Based on your deductions, when the Inverted World collapses, all the negative information will be obtained by that monster. He has strength surpassing a Demigod, and is very likely a new deity."

"To be more precise, a new deity that has never appeared before!"

Wayne was very certain; it wasn’t scary that the monster was stronger than Dreyne, but that the attempt to corrupt him had failed, something not even Ancient God’s Kin Torgoguryr had managed to do.

"It’s a bit absolute to say it never appeared, maybe it’s a defeated deity hiding in the Inverted World."

"We can’t rule that out."

"Dreyne will report this to the Moonlight Goddess; remember to ask her about it," Austin said, frowning, "Dreyne is after all the knight of the Moonlight Goddess. Find a way to win her over and have her obey you, that’s one more reliable intelligence channel."

"..."

"Say something!"

"It’s too humiliating, I can’t do it."

"Mmm, indeed your skin has matured more than before!"
