[Genshin Impact] A world where only travelers are alone
Chapter 8 Rumors
Although she said so, Aurelie was not someone who wanted to trouble others.
The troupe had been short of money before, but Aurelie had worked four jobs to make ends meet and had no intention of asking her for money.
Finally, it was when Verman came to her for help that she found out about this matter and invested some money in the theater anonymously without Aurelie's knowledge.
"Anyway, I'm leaving now. You should stay at home during this time and don't run around. If you have to go out, remember to have someone accompany you. Don't be alone."
With the security team and the guard agency there, Aurelie wasn't really worried about her safety, but she still had to give the necessary reminders.
Chloe sat obediently and nodded in agreement.
Only then did Aurelie feel relieved to leave.
Not long after she left, the security agency called by Villette arrived.
The attorney who was in charge of the details told her the respective responsibilities of these agencies.
Chloe was stunned and asked tremblingly, "Do we really need so many security agencies?"
According to what he said, the area near her home is almost filled with security agencies. Will this really not interfere with her normal life?
The law enforcer had a serious expression on his face: "Yes, this is all for your safety, ma'am."
In fact, there was no need to use so many security agencies for protection work like this, but with the double blessing of the scandal and Villette's personal involvement, the head of the Law Enforcement Court had already determined that Chloe and he had an unclear relationship, so it was inevitable that he acted in a way that was flattering.
Even though Villette didn't give any special instructions, he still took the initiative to order almost double the amount.
But Chloe didn't know all this. At this moment, she had already seen off the attorney and was worriedly looking at the security agencies that could be seen almost everywhere outside.
As if sensing her bad mood, the little sea otter approached her and rubbed against her hand.
Chloe held it in her arms and simply stopped looking out the window.
Since it was arranged by the higher-ups, it should be reasonable, right?
She thought about it doubtfully and felt a little uneasy.
*
It turned out that her intuition was correct. Within a few days, Chloe heard a lot of gossip during her rare time outside.
Originally, she decided to come out for some fresh air because she had been stuck in the house for too long, but she didn't expect to hear some unpleasant things. Chloe hid behind the wall, listening to the gossip of the guys gathered not far away.
"I really didn't expect that Lord Navilette, who always prides himself on being fair, would be so willful at times." One of the well-dressed wealthy ladies snorted meaningfully as she looked at the security agencies that were almost everywhere around her.
"Yeah, they mobilized so many people at once just to protect one guy—" Another person agreed, waving his fan and subconsciously glancing in the direction of Chloe's house, "It's too exaggerated."
"Oh, it's hard to say whether it's abuse of power for personal gain or not—"
Although almost everyone nearby heard the gunshot that day, so what? Wasn't that guy still alive and well, even unharmed?
"It seems that impartiality is just a joke."
……
The group chatted and walked, and soon left the place, but Chloe still stood there stiffly.
A security guard who happened to be patrolling here noticed this scene and quickly walked over to her to ask what happened: "Excuse me, what happened? Did you find anything wrong?"
When they were transferred here, they were specifically told that their top priority was to ensure Chloe's safety and to keep an eye on her situation at all times.
But even without such instructions, helping people in need is one of the duties of their security team, and it just so happens that her face looks very strange now.
But when Chloe heard this sentence, only the former meaning remained.
The words of the group of people seemed to still echo in her ears. Chloe's face was pale, but she still forced a smile: "It's okay, there's nothing wrong."
Although the security team members didn't quite believe it, since the person involved said so, they couldn't ask any more questions and could only let it go.
But just as he turned around and was about to leave, Chloe behind him suddenly called him.
"Excuse me, sir, could you accompany me to Mo Mang Palace?"

In fact, Chloe was not familiar with the Supreme Inquisitor named Navilette at the beginning.
She only knew that there was such a guy who was suspected to be a follower of the water god. He landed in Fontaine five hundred years ago and became a person second only to the emperor. He has lived until now and has become the supreme judge admired by everyone.
It was not until she found out that Villette was actually her secret pen pal that she learned about many people and things related to him, intentionally or unintentionally.
For example, the nobles who lost their interests because of his appearance and tried their best to trip him up; for example, Melusin who was involved in this dispute and chose to commit suicide in order to protect his reputation; for example, his subordinates who avenged Melusin but were finally convicted and imprisoned in Melopeneburg...
In this way, it took him hundreds of years to finally become the most fair and selfless person in everyone's mind.
But ever since I got involved with her, it seemed like everything started to change.
When the gossip first broke out in the tabloids, the topic of Villette's selfish motives was already widely circulated, and Chloe was actually just a small part of it.
But now the incident of the pure white lily of the valley has happened. If the security agency's affairs are allowed to continue to ferment, the reputation that Villet has worked so hard to build will probably become a real joke!
Chloe didn't want to see this.
*
Villette's office is in a very conspicuous place. Just walk straight ahead along the gate of the Momang Palace and turn right when you reach the reception desk where Sedna is.
But to get there, you need to go through the Court of Complexion, which is also located in the Mo Mang Palace, where Chloe works.
Having returned after so many years, she naturally received the attention of everyone in the Court of Complexion. However, she did not have the heart to deal with them now. She simply greeted a few people she was more familiar with and went straight to the office of the Supreme Inquisitor.
At this moment, it was Villette's working hours, and she smoothly met a somewhat surprised Inquisitor in the office.
"Ms. Chloe, why are you here? Has the pure white lily of the valley appeared again?" Villette's face was full of worry.
But the person he was worried about never answered, but just stood there and looked at him quietly.
