Chapter 180 - "Arrangent"
On the way to the activity room, Fors looked through the first-floor window at the garden outside as she sincerely said to Xio,
"This is my dream residence. When I have enough money, I'll buy a house like this in Backlund."
Xio followed her friend's gaze as she looked outside and whispered,
"I lived in a place like this when I was a kid—"
After saying that, she realized that she seed to have lost her composure and quickly changed the topic. "I thought you would say that you wanted to buy a manor in the suburbs or other places with good scenery."
"No, I'll choose Backlund because the delicacies here are more convenient," Fors said seriously.
As they spoke, they had reached the door of the living room.
As the door was not closed, they could easily see what was inside through the gap.
The first thing she saw was a girl in her early twenties wearing a low-cut lace gown. She was leaning towards Ebner, pretending to be curious about sothing.
Xio frowned when she saw this scene and stopped.
"What's wrong?" Fors asked in surprise.
"That woman has signs of 'chaos' and 'madness'..." Xio replied as she pointed at the girl who was circling Ebner.
Fors sized up the lady and said hesitantly, "She seems to be an ordinary person..."
"Who said that ordinary people can't be 'chaotic' or 'crazy'? Many such people are actually more dangerous than Beyonders." As Xio spoke, her expression turned serious as she pushed open the half-open door and walked into the activity room.
Ebner, who had been annoyed by Miss Irene in front of him, was relieved to see Xio walk in. Then he quietly took a few steps back and said apologetically to Detective Zreal and Miss Irene, "I have a friend coming over. Excuse ."
"Go ahead," Detective Zreal replied with a chuckle.
Just as Miss Irene was about to say sothing, she t Xio's "dignified" gaze. Her mind instantly went blank, and her body trembled slightly, like a small animal that had encountered its natural enemy. It took her a long ti to recover.
At that mont, Ebner had already left the activity room with Xio and Fors.
"It's horrible..." Irene muttered.
"Heh heh, that's Miss Xio Derecha, the very famous Arbiter in East Borough and the dock area. Many gang leaders are intimidated by her 'might,' much less you," Detective Zreal explained with a chuckle.
"Xio Derecha? Is she on good terms with Detective Bryan?" Irene had recovered by now, and she turned to look at Zreal.
"There are rumors that they are very close. It seems like it's true..." Detective Zreal nodded first, then said playfully, "Hehe, you might have provoked her just now."
"She's just a little girl. She doesn't have a body, so she probably doesn't know how to please people... When I find an opportunity to show Detective Bryan my 'inner beauty', He'll completely abandon her." Irene snorted.
...
In the stairwell leading to the third floor, Ebner, who had long witnessed Miss Irene's "inner self" in the "Backtrack" scene, was telling Xio about Irene's background.
"I see... But Ebner, you have to be careful. I can sense 'madness' from her. She's probably the kind of person who would do anything to achieve her goals... I'm afraid she's already targeting you," Xio said worriedly after hearing Ebner's description.
"There's no need to worry too much. She's just an ordinary person." Ebner wasn't very nervous about this. After all, from the scene of him "retracing" she didn't seem to have any intention of stepping into the "Beyonder" realm. Otherwise, with her vast "friendship
