Hearing that, Vivienne's lips curled into a smirk, revealing a hint of meaningful amusement.

Finnian glanced at Vivienne and sighed, "Vivienne, I don't mean to rain on your parade, but Luck Village is no ordinary town. It's a nest of huge conspiracies. Someone like me couldn't even get close to it. If you go there with your crew, I'm afraid you'll stir up trouble." Vivienne lifted her gaze slightly, "Master, you're overestimating me. I'm a law-abiding citizen. How could I possibly engage in illegal activities?" Finnian, "..."

You?

A law-abiding citizen?

Ha!

Vivienne: Am I not?

Finnian: Sure, sure. I wonder who blew up the Davis family's mansion with a bomb a couple of years ago.

Vivienne: ...

Finnian took a sip of his coffee, getting back to the point, "I heard from Juliette that you're planning to marry Connor. Are you really ready to sacrifice everything for love?" Vivienne, "...Don't listen to her nonsense!"

Finnian, "It doesn't seem like nonsense to me. Have you been neglecting the kids too much lately, letting their imaginations run wild? You should pay more attention to them in your free time. And don't forget about my precious grandkids just for that rascal Percival. Don't say I didn't warn you. If those kids end up depressed, I'm taking a few old buddies and we're going to paint the town red!"

Vivienne, "... You should go back."

Finnian, "What's the matter? Just finished a job for you and now you're turning your back on me?"

Vivienne glanced over Finnian's shoulder, "I'm afraid you won't be able to leave now!"

Turning around, Finnian met Dawson's astonished gaze.

Seeing Finnian, Dawson paused, then asked, "Master, weren't you in seclusion up in the mountains? What are you doing here?" Finnian, "..."

He slowly stood up and said earnestly, "Young man, you've got the wrong person. I'm not your master!" Dawson, "??"

Before Dawson could respond, Finnian vanished into thin air.
