Navelette immediately asked Su Hao what had just happened, and then he was surprised to find that Funina was also there.

This is truly surprising, considering that at this time, Funina would usually be asleep. How could she be out here?

"Hahaha... I just went out for a walk, and I never expected to run into an assassin."

Funina said calmly, "But you don't need to worry about Vilette, because Su Hao and I teamed up and drove her away."

"Hahahaha!!!! How dare that assassin attack me! He's courting death!"

Navelette remained silent, glancing at Funina's trembling legs with a hint of suspicion in his eyes.

He turned his gaze over because he sensed Su Hao's power; at the time, he did not sense any fluctuations in the power of a third party.

That's why he was quite surprised that Funina was here too.

Navelette merely sensed the presence of Su Hao and the stranger. Trusting Su Hao, he decisively attacked the stranger's presence.

The fact that the opponent was able to block my attack and leave shows that this person is not weak at all.

Funina said she encountered an assassin, but why didn't she attack?

Is it because they disdain attacking? Or is there some other reason?

Navelette was quite puzzled, but he didn't say much. He just glanced at Funina and then sneered, "How dare you break the law."

Regardless of whether Funina made a move or not, the fact that the other party only attacked the Water God already violated the highest law of Fontaine!

"I'll leave this to you. Su Hao, you are a guest of Fontaine, and I appreciate your help, but I'll take care of the rest from here."

After saying this, Vilette left without another word, preparing to investigate the origins of the enemy.

Navelette rarely handles matters personally, but this situation is somewhat special. The fact that her opponent was able to block her attack shows that she is no ordinary person.

An enemy of this strength is not suitable for the guards and dueling agents to capture, so Navelette decided to take matters into her own hands.

Meanwhile... why the other party attacked Funina was something Vilette was also quite curious about.

And so, Villette left the place, and after he left, Funina's body went limp in Su Hao's arms.

"Su... Su Hao... help me up, my body is completely limp."

Furnessa's voice trembled slightly; she had been feigning composure, not intending to reveal her weakness to Vilette.

Su Hao, somewhat helplessly, helped Funina up and said, "Why are you doing this?"

"You really think Vilette is a big fool? He actually saw through it all, he just couldn't be bothered to ask you."

Fu Ningna exposed too many flaws; some things, if you think about them even a little, are simply impossible to hide.

To put it simply, it's like you, Funina, encountered an enemy, but why didn't you unleash any of your power?

This place is so close to the Mo Mang Palace that even if the enemy wanted to attack Fu Ningna, they would take into account the difference in strength between them and the enemy.

Attacking a god, no matter what, will always come at a terrible price.

As a result, when the enemy attacked Funina, she was a pushover and could be easily manipulated by them.

In a sense, that is indeed the case. Funina had absolutely no chance to fight back, even though she had awakened the power to control the water element.

Her future potential is limitless; given time, she might even rise to the level of a demon god.

But in the end, she hasn't even had this power for a day, so how could she have such a huge improvement?

"I know, but I have no choice. I have to keep it a secret." Funina knew very well that she couldn't fool Vilette, but she had no other options.

They could keep it a secret for as long as possible; they couldn't possibly tell Vilette that she, Funina, didn't have the power of a god.

How do you explain that? Does it mean... you used all your strength in one place?

The web of lies can grow ever larger, and Funina, as much as possible, doesn't want to tell too many lies, because that would greatly reduce the chances of her being exposed.

"Must we keep this a secret?" Su Hao looked at Funina and knew that she wanted to hide the important information that he was not [Fukaros].

He felt somewhat helpless, but he couldn't say anything, because if Funina continued like this, her identity would definitely become too difficult to conceal.

At least for Arecino, this identity can no longer be hidden.

Yes, even though it was just a brief exchange, Su Hao knew that his opponent was indeed Arecino.

In Fontainebleau, women, wearing masks of the Fools, possess the power of fire and the authority of the Ice Queen, and can even withstand a single blow from one's own Wuxiang.

Aside from Arecino, there's probably no one else.

The other party didn't seem to have any intention of hiding it, which surprised Su Hao. Wasn't she afraid that he would expose her?

However, seeing Funina trembling and the way she had just had her heart ripped out, it was quite a shock.

Su Hao could understand why Arecino had suddenly attacked Frynn.

Because what she really wants is the Heart of God, but Funina doesn't have the Heart of God at all.

"I know who the enemy is. Do you want to capture her?" Su Hao suddenly asked, looking at Fu Ningna.

"?!"

Funina trembled. She wanted to nod, but quickly shook her head, indicating that she did not want to grab her.

It wasn't that Funina was afraid of her opponent, but rather that her opponent knew how weak she was and had just tried to take something out of her during the attack.

That enemy probably already knows she is not the water god Fucarus, so she doesn't want to capture him.

And... Furina wasn't stupid either; in Fontaine, the only ones who would dare to lay a hand on her were the Fatui.

It was at this moment that Ella and Black Ella arrived. Their expressions were quite subtle as they looked at Funina, who was being supported by the young master.

It's more accurate to say that Su Hao was carrying her rather than supporting her.

"We'll talk later." Su Hao seemed to sense something. He stopped helping Funina and instead focused his gaze on the distance.

Upon seeing Su Hao's actions, Fu Ningna immediately stood up straight and looked ahead with a serious expression.

Navelette flew over from not far away, his expression somewhat serious. He looked at Su Hao and shook his head slightly, saying, "That person has disappeared. She was very clever. It seems that she planned from the beginning that if the sneak attack failed, she would leave immediately."

It was expected that Navelette would not capture Arecino.

Chapter 544 Discussion of the Executives

On the other side, a woman dressed in black and wearing a Fool's mask emerged rather disheveled from the Fontaine sewers, with a cloak emitting a faint black light draped over her shoulders.

"boom!"

The cloak, which emitted a faint black light, shattered into faint starlight.

"Cough cough cough."

The woman coughed, then took off her mask and whistled.

Not far away, two lightning sorcerers and five servants appeared. They immediately approached the woman, or rather, Arecino, and handed her new clothes while keeping a watchful eye on their surroundings.

"The doctor's little gadget is actually quite useful in some ways."

Arecino looked at the cloak shattered into faint starlight, and reached out her hand, burning away the starlight in flames.

Yes, this is a gadget invented by the doctor. Its effect is simple and straightforward: it can conceal one's presence. However, because the materials required are precious, and although this thing is good at concealment, its defensive power is really too low.

Or rather, even an ordinary piece of paper has higher defensive capabilities than that cloak.

But it was precisely this skill that allowed Arecino to escape Navelette's pursuit.

"You really look pathetic, servant."

A male voice came from the side, and D'Artagnan walked over with two debt collectors. He looked at Arecino's rather disheveled appearance and shook his head, saying, "Is the water god Fucarus that powerful?"

Arecino looks quite unwell right now; it's clear she's encountered a formidable opponent.

In addition, her target tonight is the water god Fucarus.

Although Funina may appear comical and ridiculous on the surface, she is, in essence, a deity, the water goddess among the Seven Rulers of the Mortal Realm.

D'Artagnan knew that Arecino was very strong, but if she were to face a true god, she would still appear somewhat weak.

Of course, if it were a real life-or-death duel, D'Artagnan thought Arecino might be able to kill the water god, but didn't she say that this was just a test?

Did you really make yourself look like this just by testing the waters?

“The powerful one isn’t Fukalos, no… I should call her Funinna.”

Arecino looked at her nearly severed hand and said calmly, "Su Hao and Navelette made their move."

"Huh?" D'Artagnan froze on the spot, then looked at Arecino with an astonished expression and said, "You didn't come back piece by piece?!"

The two lightning sorcerers, five servants, and two debt collectors also looked at Arecino with rather shocked expressions.

Yes, although these fools did not know just how powerful Navelette was, they were aware of Su Hao's existence.

They were quite clear that... tonight, their servant's enemies were Su Hao, the water goddess Funina, and the supreme judge Navelette.

In this situation, it's truly admirable that my servant was able to return almost unharmed!

"This isn't the place to talk, let's go back first."

Arecino wasn't going to waste any more time here. They were still inside Fontaine, which was far from safe, and they had to leave as soon as possible.

“Okay.” D’Artagnan’s face was full of curiosity; he was eager to know what had happened on Arecino’s side.

But now is not the place to talk; we must go back immediately.

Although everyone secretly knows that it was Arecino who dared to attack the water god tonight, they can at least conduct a public investigation to get by.

Even if Fontaine wants to arrest someone, it must follow the legal procedures.

Arecino, who is familiar with legal procedures, knows exactly how to forge an alibi.

For example... right now, "she" is probably receiving the Fatui people who came from Mondstadt.

Soon, Arecino and Tadalia led their men back to the Fools' encampment.

Arecino and Dadtaglia entered the meeting room together.

Both sides' subordinates consciously refrained from entering the meeting room, instead remaining outside and waiting for the two executives to finish exchanging intelligence.

This is a conversation that belongs to the executives; they cannot overstep their authority.

Upon arriving at the conference room, D'Artagnan eagerly sat down and then looked at Arecino, saying, "Now you can speak. If you're still not comfortable with this, you can set up a barrier."

"I'm very, very curious about what happened to you tonight."
