Don't confiscate my identity as a human race

Chapter 404 - 384: Hyperion Tearfully Transforms from a Police to Criminal _1

The atmosphere in the room, bathed in the warm glow of the lamp, slowly changed. The beam of light from the chandelier seemed to be a gentle embrace, melting away the winter chill in the room.

At this moment, the ticking of the clock seemed to slow, no longer a curse of time but a leisurely melody. The eyes of the girls gradually lost their cold indifference and anger, becoming understanding and gentle instead.

Under this atmosphere, both Sigrid and Hyperion unclasped their hands, breaking this deadlock.

Before their hands were fully released.

"Saint Heir, I didn’t consider your feelings."

Sigrid addressed Lanci first, her voice softened by half.

"!"

Hyperion didn’t have time to react. How could this woman change her face so quickly?

Hyperion immediately put her hands back on Lanci’s wrist, seemingly wanting to check if she had injured him just now.

She didn’t speak, instead, she looked up at Lanci with a hint of remorse in her eyes – a look that seemed to convey her deep empathy for him.

"This..."

Gloria’s eyelids twitched uncontrollably.

This sudden change made her realize, Lanci’s most exceptional ability did not lie in his terrifying capability to tackle troubles but a unique talent to manage a complicated situation.

From beginning to end, there wasn’t much fluctuation in his emotion. He seemed genuinely to believe he was doing this for Sigrid and Hyperion’s good, but they just didn’t understand him, which left him a bit disheartened, and that was it.

It was so pure it was incomprehensible!

Gloria couldn’t figure out if this man was genuinely innocent or just playing them.

She always had this feeling that she was being manipulated, but she had no evidence.

Perhaps Sigrid was clear-headed and saw through Lanci’s true intentions, but it was a clear strategy. If she were to continue arguing, it would seem that she was the one making a fuss, and Hyperion might take this opportunity to replace her.

"Meow..."

The Cat boss poked out half of its body from under the sofa, and glanced at Gloria.

It knew that Sikder’s daughter was perplexed.

The Cat boss was in a better condition. It had heard some rumors about Lanci’s talent for mediating civil disputes and resolving emotional conflicts back in Ichrite.

But seeing Lanci himself caught up in drama for the first time today.

Made the Cat boss feel that, when it saw a man walking on a high wire or strolling through the clouds, his calm expression should also be like this, without the slightest sense of life-threatening danger.

The Cat boss couldn’t even imagine him suddenly falling and dying.

On the other hand.

"Phew——"

Seeing the dispute in the living room finally resolved, Lanci also breathed a sigh of relief with a smile, as if feeling gratified at their reconciliation.

"Let’s sit down and chat."

"Anything that targets the Nirvana Branch, the Church of the Goddess of Destiny will do spontaneously."

Hyperion clenched her fist and assured Lanci.

Being a priest, even if she had to deal with the Rebirth Church for a while for the greater good, her Lady Goddess would surely understand her.

Assured of Hyperion’s attitude, Lanci looked at Sigrid.

About the matter of jailbreaking, both of them needed Hyperion to go to the prison personally. It was extremely dangerous, so there was a possibility they might let her suffer.

But it was clear that Sigrid didn’t want to owe a favor to the Church of the Goddess of Destiny.

She would certainly offer more compensation.

"Say what you want first."

Sigrid said to Hyperion.

She decided to first listen to what Hyperion wanted, to judge how the Hegemony Branch should adjust the price they should pay.

Hyperion pondered.

She believed that the Hegemony Branch intended to handle the Nirvana Branch, so they definitely needed a strong military force.

"You give me some information about the Herram Prison, and I can get a Great Demon Clan to help you in the fight. This way, when it’s time to deal with Asksan, the odds of success will be higher," Hyperion proposed the terms of the deal.

She believed her sincerity was already sufficient. With as much information as possible, she could exchange it for assistance from an eighth-order great demon race at a critical moment.

For the other party, this deal was definitely not a loss.

However.

Lanci and Sigrid exchanged a glance, their expressions strange.

Gradually, Sigrid became extremely embarrassed and lowered her head.

"Is it not possible?"

Hyperion asked.

"..."

Lanci was at a loss for words at this moment.

He remembered these two people, who had just sworn in the name of the Lady Goddess not to discuss personal interests, and said let them see who’s the master in this house.

After all the arguing, turned out everyone was planning to do the same thing.

"We also plan to break out of jail."

Gloria quickly added helpfully in her anxiety.

Immediately, it seemed that Hyperion understood Sigrid’s current expression, and her cheeks began to redden.

The living room was eerily quiet.

Both of them felt awkward to the core.
