Chapter 202
At this mont, the atmosphere between Fang Li and Aria beca sowhat heavy.
To dispel this heaviness, Fang Li took the initiative to speak, saying, “So, what do you an by the true power of your family?”
“You don’t know?” Aria blinked in surprise and then said, “When it cos to Sherlock Hols, there’s another aspect besides Deduction and Marksmanship that he’s famous for.”
“No, there are too many famous aspects of that famous detective,” Fang Li said matter-of-factly. “There are so many examples that it’s hard to choose just one.”
“Well, I guess you’re right.” Aria’s expression relaxed a bit, as if being praised for her great-grandfather made her quite happy. She continued, “Although my great-grandfather is indeed a very famous detective, he didn’t conquer all those cases alone. If it weren’t for exceptional partners by his side, he wouldn’t have beco so outstanding.”
“Hols’ partners?” Fang Li’s mind stirred as he asked, “Do you an Watson?”
In the life of Sherlock Hols, many famous characters had beco his adversaries, putting him in danger many tis. However, if anyone had provided the most significant help to Sherlock Hols, it was undoubtedly Watson.
He was a doctor.
Throughout Sherlock Hols’ life, this doctor played a crucial role in his life. He had provided Hols with much assistance, and from the perspective of an ordinary person, he gave the detective many valuable insights. Watson was, without a doubt, Sherlock Hols’ trusted companion and friend.
It was precisely because of this partnership that Sherlock Hols conquered one case after another, defeated enemies one by one, and gradually beca one of the most famous characters in the United Kingdom.
“In the Hols Family, having a partner is crucial. Just like my great-grandfather, only when you find your own partner can you be considered perfect,” Aria said earnestly. “So, generation after generation, the Hols Family always has their partners to compensate for their weaknesses.”
Naturally, if there were any deficiencies, they could be complented.
In other words, if there was no complent, they would forever be considered flawed.
Aria was regarded as a flawed mber of her family because she had never found her partner.
“That’s the result of my lack of strength. No one can keep up with my pace, so no one can beco my partner.”
Therefore, Aria needed soone who could not only compensate for her weaknesses but also keep up with her pace.
As soone who couldn’t inherit the outstanding Deduction ability of her family, Aria needed soone with a clear and calm mind to be her partner.
As soone with remarkable action capabilities and extraordinary strength, Aria also needed soone with outstanding abilities to keep up with her.
“I have been searching for such a person all along, and today, I finally found one.”
Saying this, Aria’s gaze on Fang Li regained its brilliance.
“So, Fang Li, beco my partner!”
The hope infused into this sentence was evident without the need for explanation.
Because only with her partner, Aria could truly beco a Hols, fully utilize her family’s strengths, and no longer be a flawed individual.
Aria had been inquiring about Fang Li because he was the most famous S-Rank Butei in the Assault Division, which gave her so hope for her partner.
This petite girl was eager to find soone who could accompany her on the journey ahead.
So, Fang Li fell silent once again.
In the Butei world, forming teams was not uncommon.
But as Aria had said, what she needed was not just a teammate but a partner she could entrust everything to, rely on, and trust completely.
It wasn’t rely about forming a team; it was a lifelong commitnt.
Such a heavy wish was not sothing Fang Li could casually agree to. Moreover, as a Main Divine Envoy, once he completed all the Main Quests in this world, he would leave this world within three days. So, becoming Aria’s partner under these circumstances was simply unrealistic.
However, for Fang Li, that was not the primary concern. Fang Li never cared about external conditions; he cared about his own feelings.
At this mont, the only thing that caught Fang Li’s attention in Aria’s words was:
“Flawed...?”
This statent reminded Fang Li of himself. Wasn’t he also a flawed individual?
However, the flaw in Aria’s case was her Ability, while Fang Li’s flaw lay in his emotions. He couldn’t feel emotions related to death but was otherwise quite normal. This phenonon was like a missing piece in a puzzle, making it feel rather abrupt.
In the past, Fang Li had always thought of himself as soone with a personality flaw. Now he knew that the reason for this unnatural phenonon was that his soul automatically recorded death.
So, Fang Li wasn’t lacking sothing; he had sothing extra— a special soul.
Yet, as a person, Fang Li was still flawed.
Because of this abnormality, he was considered flawed.
If a partner was ant to complent the missing parts, then what should Aria complent in Fang Li?
As this thought flashed through his mind, Fang Li t Aria’s gaze.
“What... What do you say?” Aria’s small face tensed up, showing genuine nervousness as she said, “Let make it clear. I’ve worked so hard to find you, whether you like it or not, you’re going to be my partner!”
“Otherwise...” Aria drew her Colt from its holster on her thigh, looking quite fierce, and said, “I’ll open a hole in you!”
She suddenly beca so willful.
But this also showed just how desperate Aria was.
Fang Li smiled wryly and said, “Alright, I can be your partner!”
However, before Aria could beco too happy about his response, Fang Li suddenly added another condition.
“As long as you promise one thing.”
“A condition?” Aria hurriedly asked, “What condition?”
Fang Li smiled faintly.
The next mont, his voice gently echoed.
“If one day, the most important person by my side dies...”
“Aria, promise that you’ll help cry for that person...”
That day, Aria would never forget Fang Li’s expression. It was an expression that seed almost epheral and it was as if he was about to vanish.
