Chapter 483: Chapter 483: Meeting with Honesty

Diana had gotten dressed, and together with Hainerd and Lucina, sat at a round table.

Hainerd pushed a steaming cup of coffee in front of Diana, and the three of them exchanged glances, not knowing who should start speaking first.

"This coffee, it wasn’t conjured up, was it?" Diana asked, holding the coffee.

"This is our home, Ms. Diana. Everything here is genuine," Hainerd said.

"This is our basement," Lucina added.

Diana took a sip from her cup, the steaming coffee flowing down her throat into her stomach, warming her organs and soothing the pain from the recent gunshot wound that still had her heart skipping.

"Can you tell me, what exactly is that Illusion Technique you used? You and your father don’t seem like Spiritual Ability Users," Diana asked.

"It’s none of your business, that thing is mine," Lucina said firmly, leaning back in her chair.

"Hmm... so it’s not a ’Skill’ from the codices, but some kind of power from a mutated thing." Diana was right, they were indeed not Spiritual Ability Users.

"You’re with the Administration Bureau, how do you know Chen Ke? How long have you known him?" Lucina asked.

"Well, it’s a long story, but I haven’t known him very long. We met at a sword dojo," Diana answered.

"A sword dojo?" Hainerd had never heard of such a place.

"Golden Arthur, located on Raffi Road—a HEAM sword dojo frequented by Medieval swordplay enthusiasts," Diana explained.

"I didn’t expect Chen Ke to be into that sort of thing," Lucina looked at Hainerd.

"I’ve only seen him there once... I don’t know if he’s been there by himself after that," Diana shrugged.

"You said earlier you didn’t just know him... What has he done with you?" Lucina was more concerned about this.

"Look, I’m with the Administration Bureau and technically, I shouldn’t be telling you a lot of things. I first need to figure out what Chen Ke has told you, and... as his girlfriend, how well do you really know him?" Diana spoke cautiously.

"I’m curious if Chen Ke is with the Administration Bureau," Hainerd asked.

"Dad..." Lucina looked at Hainerd.

Diana took a sip of coffee and shook her head.

"If he were with the Administration Bureau, it’s unlikely you would have met him. What makes you, Mr. Hainerd, think that Chen Ke is with the Administration Bureau? Did he use Spiritual Energy in front of you?" Diana asked.

"Oh, see, I told you he isn’t with the Administration Bureau," Lucina said to Hainerd.

"So... Ms. Diana, do you know where Chen Ke is from?" Hainerd asked.

"I was just about to ask you that... so it seems you know very little about him as well?" Diana said helplessly.

"That’s the problem... we don’t want to reveal too much to you, and you don’t want to reveal too much to us..." Hainerd shook his head.

"And here we are, hoping to extract some information from each other... Why don’t we just be honest? Chen Ke has definitely been keeping secrets from us all," Diana said.

"Your proposal is dangerous, I don’t want to sell him out to the Administration Bureau," said Lucina with a distrusting gaze towards Diana.

"I don’t want to sell him out to someone of questionable identity, who also harbors a dangerous mutated being," Diana said, staring back at Lucina.

"You’re right, Lucina. We’re just wasting time here," Hainerd agreed with Diana’s view.

"Tell us, how do you know him? When did you meet him?" Diana looked at Lucina and asked.

"We met at a bar," Lucina blurted out.

"He doesn’t seem like the type to frequent bars," Diana said.

"Lucina, let me handle this," Hainerd placed his hand on his daughter’s shoulder and then looked at Diana.

"Since you are from the Administration Bureau, you must be aware of a freakish organization called Yasla?" Hainerd said.

"Yasla... yes, we know them. They haven’t been very active recently," Diana replied.

After being promoted to level 9 agent, Diana’s access within the CPA had reached the highest level among agents, although she was still just an agent...

But this access was sufficient for her to enter more subdirectories within the Administration Bureau’s internal network and discover more astonishing information.

The Administration Bureau, of course, was aware of eerie groups like Yasla, but they had not dealt with them because, compared to other strange matters under the Bureau’s control, they were insignificant.

"The thing is, my daughter was once abducted by people from Yasla, and Chen Ke risked his life to save her," Hainerd said.

He only mentioned the most crucial parts, leaving out anything related to the postal worker.

"That sounds just like him... Lucina, he saved your life? What a coincidence, he saved mine too," Diana said.

"Don’t try to get cozy with me! Were you also abducted by Yasla? Besides, you’re an Administration Bureau agent, you wouldn’t need his help, would you?" Lucina huffed.

"I went to a very strange place with him, and if it hadn’t been for his help, I wouldn’t have made it back," Diana said.

"A strange place?" Hainerd asked.

"It might be hard for you to believe, but do you believe in time travel?" Diana asked.

Hainerd didn’t respond, just sighed, and from his expression, it was clear he thought Diana was talking nonsense. However, Lucina suddenly became very serious.

"Miss, we’d like to be honest and exchange information, but it seems like you might be playing us," Hainerd shook his head.

"Dad... let her finish," Lucina said.

Hainerd looked at his daughter, unsure why she was so nervous.

"Chen Ke and I were on the subway when we went back to another version of 2006, listen, whether you believe it or not, don’t go spreading what I’m about to tell you," Diana said.

"I don’t believe a word," Hainerd said.

"The past? Did you get a nosebleed?" Lucina tentatively asked.

"No, why would I get a nosebleed?" Diana was puzzled.

"You should have had a nosebleed, then felt nauseous, followed by a headache, and then you would see... well, see certain things," Lucina said.

"Lucina? What are you talking about? I thought you were pregnant..." Hainerd sighed.

"No, Dad, we handled it very safely... just hold on a moment," Lucina told Hainerd.

"Lucina, you misunderstand me, he and I went to 2006, not just saw it," Diana said.

"Went there? Physical time travel? How is that possible!" Lucina frowned.

"Not just me, haven’t you seen the news? The subway accident on Raffi Road two months ago. Everyone on that subway train went to that place. Of course, the news only reported it as an accident..." Diana explained.

"I’m aware of that accident," Hainerd said.

"You traveled there, and then he brought you back? He can time travel?!" Lucina exclaimed, her voice rising significantly.
