Havier wandered around the territory all day, indeed quite restless!
Luckily, Ivan suppressed him secretly, ultimately preventing him from causing any big trouble.
"However, when we arrive at Warm Fire City, we still need to be more cautious," Ivan concluded after observing Havier all day, through the "Soul Whisper Channel", "In the Warm Fire Comrce Association, there might be quite a few people unfriendly towards our Wildfire Territory, just like Havier."
"Hmm, I got it," Andrew replied.
Then he thought for a mont, locked onto Barbara's position in the crowd, and walked over to casually ask, "Hey! That Havier from your comrce association, he refuses to co no matter what. What kind of remarkable person is he in your family?"
Barbara was watching Falk dance, seemingly finding it quite amusing.
Upon hearing Andrew's words, she turned her head sideways, shot him a sidelong glance, making Andrew's heart skip a few beats.
Then she said, "Why beat around the bush? You want to know what he is to , don't you?"
"Well, hehe..." Andrew had noticed Barbara's unusual attitude towards Havier during the day, wanted to ask but held back until now, unable to suppress his curiosity.
"What do you think he is to ?"
"I guess... ex-boyfriend?"
Andrew said sowhat sourly.
As soon as he said that, Barbara shot him a glare, "What's on your mind?!"
But Andrew's eyes lit up, "So he's not your ex-boyfriend?"
"Of course not! Far from it! Havier... he's my nephew, okay? I'm his aunt!! Ex-boyfriend, really..."
Barbara said, glaring hard at Andrew.
Seeing Andrew's expression, she couldn't help but cover her mouth and laugh.
Andrew was completely stunned, his eyes wide.
Nephew?
Aunt?!
Andrew thought, could Barbara's full na be Barbara. Yoyo. Tang? And Havier's na actually be Havier. Little Bu. Lu?
Swallowing hard, Andrew suppressed his voice and asked:
"So, so this kid, is your second sister's—"
In recent days, he had heard a lot about Barbara's family and knew Barbara had a second sister who married into the Royal Court and is now the Queen, with an extrely high status, considered the number one goddess by all n in the Fla Realm, regardless of affiliation!
Could this kid nad Havier be the child of Barbara's goddess-like second sister?
Barbara shook her head, her face noticeably darkening: "No, my second sister hasn't had any children yet, she just married into the Royal Court not too long ago. Even if she did have children, they couldn't be this old.
Havier is... my eldest sister's child."
"I see."
Andrew's eyes twitched, then he gently patted Barbara's shoulder.
Barbara's eldest sister, it was said, was more goddess-like than her second sister, but after giving birth to the child—now seemingly Havier—not long after, she and her husband died in an accident.
According to subsequent investigations, that accident wasn't caused by the Magic Guild.
It was just an accident.
If one were to say, that accident had so relation to the young Barbara at the ti...
Since then, Barbara's mother, the current wife of the president of the Warm Fire Comrce Association, has never liked Barbara.
The president felt it was wrong to bla the younger daughter for the elder daughter's death.
Because of this, the originally affectionate relationship between the president and his wife has been filled with countless argunts. Even years later, their relationship has yet to warm up again, resembling sowhat of a strained coexistence.
"Seems like the internal relationships within the Warm Fire Comrce Association are quite complex."
Andrew understood, "As for Barbara, she's probably acting out of guilt and debt, thus always yielding to her sister's child?"
That completely explained Barbara's attitude towards Havier.
Originally wanting to ask more about the accident?
His lips moved slightly, but Andrew ultimately held back, only murmuring to himself: "Accident, huh..."
Barbara was soon pulled by Leia to dance.
One was a girl possessing the Eight Strange Fires and unknowingly forming a strong, natural attraction to Andrew through Water and Fire United, and the other—a scholarly girl who danced with an overwhelming cuteness. Andrew couldn't bear to watch for more than two glances.
He thought about his Water Soul Constitution, which gained overall strength as his Tier increased. The benefits were substantial, but his increasingly restless desire, who would quell it? Who could quell it?!
He saw An Ya approaching through the crowd.
Andrew quickly adjusted his stance discreetly to avoid embarrassnt.
While asking, "Got the Fire God cha already?"
"Yes, got it."
An Ya raised her wrist.
On her wrist was a pale moon-colored humanoid mark, almost blending seamlessly with her skin.
"This is the Fire God cha. But this cha is 'counter-type'; the greater the crisis, the greater the counterattack. So for now, it may not showcase its power for Master."
Saying this, An Ya pursed her lips, feeling sowhat embarrassed, "Actually, I'm not quite sure myself about the cha's power."
Andrew rely smiled, waving dismissively, "No worries, as long as you have the cha. As for its power... I think it won't be weak."
This was the truth.
Because upon seeing the cha transform into a small mark fused on An Ya's wrist, Andrew distinctly felt his eyelids twitch a few tis, an alarming sensation as if facing a prehistoric beast!
This made Andrew quite happy, then he asked, "Did that old Mr. Falk say anything else to you, An Ya?"
The unusual attitude of Barbara towards Havier was now explained.
Falk's special treatnt towards An Ya remained a mystery.
An Ya thought, this was precisely the reason for looking for you now.
Sighed, "Yes, the old man told a lot."
The scene during the day ca to mind.
The handover of the Fire God cha was nothing extraordinary, took only half a minute.
Completely devoid of ceremony!
The cha being about human height, wearing ancient attire.
Its color matched Falk's mage robe—pure white, not red.
Overall, it looked like a human-sized puppet, rather unremarkable, even sowhat shabby.
Not just An Ya; even Barbara and Leia, who went over, found it a bit surprising: "Is this the legendary Fire God cha?"
In the Warm Fire Comrce Association, the highest-level heritage treasure was naturally the "Warm Fire Order."
The Fire God cha may not match the Warm Fire Order but also wouldn't be far behind.
Unexpectedly, it appeared unimpressive!
It wasn't until she bonded it with her blood and integrated it into her wrist that An Ya felt the imnse power contained within the cha!
At this mont, An Ya confird: This was definitely sothing extraordinary!
On the other hand, she deeply felt the heavy responsibility as the controller of this cha.
Barbara and Leia soon left.
Because there wasn't anything to watch at all!
However, An Ya still felt it sowhat unbelievable: "Uh, so this... this counts as the completion of the handover? Mr. Falk you—"
Raising her eyes to consult so details.
However, halfway through speaking, An Ya suddenly froze.
She saw the elderly man unfolding a hand before him.
"Boom," a ball of fla ignited spontaneously above the old man's palm!
The color of the flas matched that of the man's robe and the Fire God cha they'd just handed over.
All... pure white.
