"Grandpa Moore, Grandpa Zhurong." Lanlan's demeanor altered slightly upon seeing the two characters. After all, news of her running away from home had stirred quite a commotion within the Saint League.
Zhurong smiled, "You're getting bolder, Missy. Even your grandfather is having a hard time dealing with your mischief. Just you wait until you get back. He'll whip your derriere."
Marie Ruo thanked them with a gracious smile, "It's Judge Zhurong and Manipulator Moore. Thank you both for your aid earlier."
Moore's eyes brightened; his gaze upon Marie Ruo laced with evident admiration. "Miss Marie, no need for formalities. It was merely a trifle. Might I have the honor of sharing a drink with you?"
Marie Ruo returned the offer with a delicate smile, "It'd be my pleasure."
Sky Scar tugged lightly at Moore's sleeve, whispering, "Master, perhaps it would be better if I didn't go. I'll wait outside for your return."
