A brave man may not live, but he cannot die

Chapter 108 That’s Great
Ankuya listened to Quinn's account of what happened.

"Are you sure Jack was bitten by a dog?" He asked, puzzled, holding a cigarette.

Quinn reminisced for a moment.

"Yes, that's right. A very ugly pug."

When Ankua heard the words "very ugly pug", he was inexplicably concerned, but his memory was not as good as Quinn's, and he couldn't think of where he had heard similar words before.

"Just a dog?"

"Just a dog."

Quinn also felt something was wrong. If the dog hadn't bitten him, he really wouldn't have been able to find Jack.

But why did the dog bite him? Was it to remind me?

Quinn was amused, feeling that he was thinking too much.

"Keep an eye out. If you see that dog again, try to catch it."

"Well, you know Aqua, I've always been a dog lover."

The Paw Patrol has made great contributions.

"When we get to the tavern, tell the boss about the process of arresting Jack."

Ankuya didn't explain why. The two of them didn't have much time to chat privately, and Xia Dai'er had already come back with a box of matches.

"What do you think of the possibility of Sissa?"

Quinn, who had been thinking all the way in the carriage, replied, "Yes, and it's not low. I think it's necessary to go to the Holy Tree Church."

He is a priest, but he does not respect God.

The rope art that looks and feels too similar to the love action movies on Earth.

The terrifying power and the shock that Jack was silently burned to death by the black fire brought to Quinn was no less than the giant snake that Vice President He Mo transformed into.

And through divination, he found out his identity as a hero within a month.

Quinn had a vague feeling that the divination scene was about to appear.

But why do I look so weak during divination?

Ankua nodded and lifted the soundproofing spell.

Xia Dai'er just came back. After handing the matches to Ankuya, she handed a glass of juice to Quinn.

"Hey, I saw you were so tired from running, so I bought some for you."

“Isn’t there a coffee shop?”

Despite saying that, Quinn still accepted her kindness.

The juice has a straw already inserted, just drink it directly.

Quinn was indeed a little thirsty, so he took a sip and found it was freshly squeezed and extra sweet.

"It's quite sweet. Don't you want to drink it yourself?" Quinn noticed that Xia Dai'er only bought one cup.

"I'm not thirsty."

Xia Dai'er's voice was a little unnatural. She didn't dare to look at Quinn and walked into the coffee shop with her head down.

"Let's go! Don't keep them waiting too long."

It’s called a coffee shop, but the decor is very similar to Quinn’s impression of a Japanese teahouse. You have to take off your shoes and walk on the wooden floor when you enter.

This is the native style of the East Country. Quinn walked inside curiously under the guidance of a waiter in cheongsam.

In just a short corridor, he saw Japanese shoji doors, Chinese garden screens, and Southeast Asian hemp straw decorations.
The decor is based on Japanese style, incorporating elements from East Asian cultures. Otherworldly touches can be seen, such as the wall-mounted niches that house not a bodhisattva but a statue of a White Cult goddess holding a scale.
This is obviously the work of a fellow countryman. Dongguo was founded by the fourth hero, Tetsuya Amamiya. This guy is a die-hard 2D fan, so it is understandable that he has created so many stereotypical Japanese styles.

After all, the more majestic Chinese decoration is really hard for ordinary people to achieve, and they need to have some Chinese cultural cultivation, not to mention those buildings with flying eaves and brackets. In comparison, these tatami and shoji doors are much easier to replicate, just take some wood and put them together.
A week later, Quinn saw Pepe again.

She no longer wore the gorgeous dress, but changed into a simple white shirt and a dark blue high-waisted skirt. The ribbon tied at the collar reminded Quinn of the casual clothes of the anime character Saber.

"Mr. Strange."

When Quinn heard Pepe calling him by the pseudonym he had made up, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that he would not be exposed.

"So you're Grindelwald's assistant. I thought you were a bartender." She half-bowed gracefully. "Thank you for helping me arrange an appointment with Miss Xia Dai'er."

"Haha, part-time job, part-time job--" Quinn pulled Xia Daier to sit in the private room, "Grindelwald's salary is too low, we have to earn some extra money." Xia Daier was a little distracted when she saw Pepe sitting on the cushion.

Good, beautiful woman
She was born in the richest family and has seen many real celebrities in the world since she was a child, such as the royal families of various countries, or the ancient nobles who sealed the wolf and lived in Xu. Pepe's temperament gave her this feeling, noble and restrained. Even if she wore simple clothes, her every move could make people feel her good upbringing.
"Hello, I am Pepe Caster Ortiz, a novice nun from the Church of Light—" Pepe said softly to Xia Dai'er, "Thank you for your willingness to assist me."

She stood up and bowed, her manners impeccable even to the strictest etiquette teacher.

Xia Dai'er's breathing suddenly stopped, and she suspected that she had heard it wrong.

Ortiz
She stole a glance at Pepe's blonde hair and quickly returned the greeting.

"Hello, I'm Chardel Branson, it's an honor to meet you."

"You two are performing an opera here?" Quinn laughed.

Xia Dai'er completely lost her previous excitement and sat down next to Quinn stiffly.

Elon went to school in Bavaria, so Xia Daier naturally knew that country.

The Bavarian royal family, the Ortiz family, is most famous for their lion-like golden hair.

"Miss Pepe, I've heard everything from Mr. Strange." Xia Dai'er felt the encouraging gaze from the side, and without caring about anything else, she just said according to the dialogue they had practiced: "The person you want to find has left Ashwell——"

According to Xia Daier's story, after Quinn was released from the academy, the Branson family gave him a large sum of money as a thank you for saving Xia Daier's life. After that, Quinn no longer had any work troubles, and took the money to take an airship to the Western Continent. No one knows where he is now.
Although Pepe was disappointed after hearing this, she was not too depressed. After all, this was the "fact" that Ankuya had told her a long time ago.

The most important thing now is to get the Gate of Heaven back, and investigating the suspect has become less important.

"I see." Pepe smiled regretfully. "I thought you knew more. After all, the intelligence said the suspect fell in love with you at first sight and passed the oath before the gods. I thought he would stay in Eswell for you, even at the risk of being searched."

The air suddenly fell silent.

Ankuya changed the way he supported his head - with his five fingers wrapped around his mouth. When he did this, it usually meant that he was ready to watch the show.

Quinn really wanted to slap himself in the face.

Damn it, why didn’t you say that you fell in love with Catherine at first sight?
Seeing no one answering, Pepe subconsciously looked at Xia Daier, and then asked doubtfully: "Miss Xia Daier, are you feeling unwell? Why is your face so red?"

Xia Dai'er's little head was about to burn.

It turns out that my brother really didn’t lie to me!!

Passed the oath before God? Quinn stayed in Ashwell for me?
She stole a glance at Quinn and found that Quinn was guzzling juice as if he hadn't heard anything.

Then the girl's face turned even redder.

Joy almost jumped out of my heart. The best thing in the world than running towards each other in both directions is when people who are in a one-way relationship know that they are running towards each other in both directions.

Humph, he pretended not to want to have too much contact with me, but it turns out he's just a tsundere.
Pepe keenly noticed the uneasy atmosphere between the two, and instantly remembered why Quinn had managed to bring Xia Dai'er along. Only then did he realize that he had said the wrong thing, and subconsciously covered his mouth.

"Sorry, sorry, you guys" Pepe thought it was reasonable.

No wonder the suspect left, it turned out he knew he had no chance.

"No, no, no! We don't have anything—"

Xia Dai'er hurriedly denied it, and at the same time kicked Quinn lightly under the table, asking him to say something.

"Indeed, nothing," Quinn said with a grimace.

When Xia Daier saw his reaction, she couldn't help but regret it.

Did I say something too hurtful just now? Quinn wouldn't think I was rejecting him, right?
"Yeah. But there's nothing right now."

The girl added softly.

At the same time, his right foot secretly stretched to the left and gently rubbed Quinn's calf, trying to comfort him.

He took off his shoes before entering the room. The touch of white silk socks on his legs made Quinn shudder. What are you doing in the potion bar?!
No, does it say "foot fetish" on my face? Why do you think I like feet?
Xia Dai'er's feet are more fleshy than Amamiya Ningning's, like a soft cat's paw pad rubbing against her. Through the Lolita-style hollow stockings, the feeling is indeed wonderful.
Wait, what am I thinking about?
It’s over. Since that massage, has Amamiya Ningning really developed a sexual fetish?

Seeing Quinn's increasingly embarrassed expression, Pepe hurriedly tried to make amends and change the subject: "Well, that."

"Mr. Strange, did you see a suitcase that night? About that size. It's gone—"

"No," Quinn replied.

"I suspect it ran away with someone." What Pepe is most worried about now is that Heaven's Gate has found a human who can be controlled.

"The suitcase ran away with someone?"

Quinn asked in feigned confusion.

That's great. If you don't have the ability, there's nothing I can do. Your suitcase has been taken away, so you can make good arrangements. Hehehe.
