Genshin Impact, Raiden Shin joins the chat group

“I can’t do this, but Su Hao definitely can.”

With that, Marcel disappeared into the shadows, seemingly unconcerned about Dadalia's situation.

Chapter 555 Meeting Navia

What exactly happened in the shadows on the other side was unknown to Su Hao and the others, but what they did know was...

Led by Chiori, the group entered Baisong Town and prepared to go find Navia.

Clarind did not enter Baisong Town, but instead said she would wait on the side and that if needed, she could release her lightning elemental power, which she could sense from a short distance away.

Clorind said this calmly, as if it were nothing difficult for her.

Su Hao glanced at Klorinde again. She could sense the release of elemental power, even specific lightning elemental power, within a certain distance.

This shows that Clorind's strength is indeed quite impressive.

She is at least on the same level as Kujo Sara, but Clarin is human, while Kujo Sara has tengu blood.

If the two were to fight, Su Hao really didn't know who would win or lose, since Clarinde had never made a move in front of Su Hao before.

Su Hao judged Klorind's strength solely by her demeanor.

"Actually, Clarinde is a good person too."

After Clorind left, Charlotte watched her retreating figure and sighed.

As a journalist, she knew all too well what had happened back then. As the strongest dueling agent, Clarind could not hold back in the Holy Judgment.

In addition, both Villette and Claurind repeatedly advised Carles to stop, because he would really die.

However, Carles was determined to go his own way, seemingly seeking death, and died on the spot during the duel.

To this day, many people believe that Kares was wronged, but in the context of Fontaine, his death in a duel can, in a sense, be considered an admission of guilt.

Therefore, the prestige of the Rose Society has greatly diminished, and its power has weakened considerably. However, even a weakened camel is bigger than a horse. At present, the Rose Society still controls a lot of connections, making it a very suitable organization for gathering intelligence.

“He’s a good person, but Navia can’t understand him. After all, it’s a blood feud for killing one’s father, and I can’t understand it either,” Chiori said calmly. She had a good relationship with Navia and even with Kares.

It was Carles who took Navia to have clothes custom-made; Chiori had met him once before.

At the time, Kales gave Chiori a very good impression, so Chiori didn't think he was the murderer, but she wouldn't say anything more.

In Fontainebleau, one cannot rely on intuition to judge a case, and Chiori rarely mentions anything about Kares in front of Navia.

Chavore remained silent. The case of the unjust Carles was arguably the most controversial case ever.

All the clues point to Carles, but there are many strange things that cannot be clearly explained. However, three years have passed since the case was filed, and it is basically impossible to overturn it now.

Led by Chiori and Charlotte, the group entered Baisong Town and immediately headed towards Navia's house.

On the way, Su Hao looked around and realized that the famous Rose Society... was not as wealthy and luxurious as he had imagined.

The area around Baisong Town looks somewhat dilapidated, giving it the feel of a small, run-down fishing village.

And it's already very late, there are no police officers patrolling the streets, and almost no one is on the road.

Quiet, extremely quiet, an unimaginable contrast to Fontainebleau.

If Fontaine is like a bustling metropolis, then White Pine is like a small village.

"This is not quite what I imagined..."

Su Hao seemed quite surprised, because in his imagination, White Pine Town was the base of the Rose Society, and the Rose Society was a local power in Fontainebleau. Why was it so... dilapidated?

Based on the statements of Chiori, Charlotte, Chavory, and others, the Rose Society is a well-known organization in Fontainebleau.

Even if such an organization has fallen on hard times, it shouldn't be this bad, right?

"What's different?" Xia Worei looked at Su Hao with some curiosity, not understanding why he was surprised.

“Su Hao must be surprised that the base of the Rose is in such a bad condition.” Qianzhi understood Su Hao’s personality and thoughts. She said calmly, “Because in Inazuma, as long as someone has power and influence, the place where they live will not be bad.”

"Even in his impoverished days, Su Hao still held a noble status, owning three houses and other properties."

"Well, although the property was later taken back, he still had three houses. He could get around ten million Mora just by selling one of them."

Chiori wasn't joking. Back when Su Hao was at his lowest point, he owned three houses, all of which were located in Inazuma City.

The houses in Inazuma Castle are the dream of countless merchants. This place is equivalent to the capital of various countries. No matter what, a single house can sell for an astronomical price.

Furthermore, those who are part of a well-known organization in Inazuma usually live in relatively nice places, and they have also traveled to other countries, such as Mondstadt, Liyue, and Sumeru.

Chiori also went to see it. Anyway, as long as it's a well-known organization associated with Mora, its headquarters can't be too bad, no matter how bad it is.

Because of preconceived notions, Su Hao's expression of surprise upon seeing the headquarters of the Thorn Rose Society was so unexpected.

"Oh, this."

Xia Worei thought Su Hao was surprised, so she said calmly, "This is actually quite normal. Although the Rose Society is very famous in Fontainebleau, they don't do anything illegal or disorderly."

"Simply put, they are not ruthless enough to make money. Their organization's funds come from donations from the public. The Rose Society was once thriving, and most of the people of Fontainebleau would give their Mora to the Rose Society."

"And the Rose Society did not disappoint them, providing great assistance to the official construction of Fontaine, enabling the people of Fontaine to live a good life."

"But the good times didn't last long..."

Here, Xia Wore shook her head, seemingly feeling sorry for the Rose Society, because the unjust Kares incident had made most of the people of Fontaine disillusioned with the organization.

So right now, it's not fair to say that the Rose Society is bankrupt; it's more like a person on the verge of death lying in bed. Either it will regain its vitality, or it will be completely finished.

Su Hao fell silent upon hearing this, but didn't say much. After all, given the current situation of the Rose Thorn Society, it was difficult for him to say anything.

Arriving at Navia's mansion, Su Hao looked at the house, which didn't seem particularly luxurious, and felt a pang of emotion.

Navia looks like a noble young lady, but the place she lives doesn't quite match her temperament.

"Dong dong dong."

Charlotte went to knock on the door immediately.

Soon, an elderly butler with a weapon in hand opened the door with a wary look in his eyes. When he saw Su Hao and the others, he was clearly taken aback.

"Lord Su Hao?" Myles was stunned. The old butler hadn't expected Su Hao to come so late at night, and that Chiori, Charlotte, and the famous Special Patrol Captain Chavory were also there!

Myles quickly stepped aside, then called out into the room, "Young Miss!!! Mr. Su Hao is here!!!"

It was at this moment that Navia appeared, wearing cute pajamas and carrying an umbrella. She looked extremely surprised, not expecting Su Hao to come looking for her in the middle of the night.

"Navia, you're not asleep?" Su Hao was surprised that Navia was still awake.

After all, a woman's hair usually gets a little messy after waking up. Navia was wearing pajamas, but her hair wasn't very messy. It's just that her makeup wasn't as polished as before, so she had obviously removed it.

"Hmm... I was just lying in bed thinking about some things, so I didn't sleep." Navia put away her umbrella and then smiled gently, "Everyone, why are you visiting us at this time?"

Myles also immediately put away his weapon, looking somewhat surprised. He hadn't expected Su Hao and the others to come looking for the young lady at this time.

"Is your situation so delicate right now?" Su Hao didn't immediately reveal his purpose for coming, but instead expressed surprise at Myles and Navia's immediate action of drawing their weapons.

This is the enemy's headquarters, and Fontaine is a righteous nation, so security is definitely not a problem. In addition, this is the headquarters of the Rose Society. There's no need to be so nervous in your own base.

While it was wrong of them to knock on the door in the middle of the night, was it really necessary to be so nervous?

So Su Hao found it strange that the old butler was nervous, but Navia was also so nervous.

Although Navia was carrying an umbrella, that umbrella was also a weapon, as Su Hao had noticed when they first met.

"Hahaha~~ Well, better safe than sorry." Navia gave an awkward but polite smile and said, "Recently, the fools have been communicating with me many times."

"I refused them several times, but recently I chose to cooperate with them. Somehow, this news leaked out, so now the already dying Rose Society..."

As she said this, Navia sighed, unsure of what to say next.

"?" Upon hearing this, Chiori's head was filled with a question mark. She looked at Navia and said, "This is not like you, Navia."

"Having cooperated with the Fools, you should know just how bad their reputation really is."

Xia Wore and Charlotte nodded in agreement, somewhat unable to understand why Navia would cooperate with the Fools.

Su Hao, Ella, Hei Ella, Gan Yu, and Shen He remained silent, because through Arechino they already knew that Navia was aware of the imminent arrival of the Fontaine prophecy.

Navia agreed to cooperate with the Fools only after they agreed to investigate the series of missing girls.

However, Navia played a trick: she would only agree to help the Fatui if they solved the series of missing girls' cases.

If the Fools solve the serial disappearances of the girls, their fathers' names will likely be cleared, and it would be reasonable for Rose to get involved then.

But now... the two sides haven't even started cooperating yet, and the news has already been leaked?

"I don't know how this got leaked either," Navia said helplessly, unsure how the news had been leaked.

Because very few people know about this, only important members of the Rose Society and important figures from the Fools' Clan know it.

Furthermore... even if the Fools leaked this news, it wouldn't reach White Pine Town so quickly.

“Several groups of people have come to express their dissatisfaction with the young lady today.” Myles also showed a helpless expression. He said, “After the master left, there were actually some people in the Rose Society who were quite dissatisfied with the young lady.”

"This time they have found an excuse to make trouble. Because of this situation, you gentlemen came to visit in the middle of the night. I thought that some of you who were emotionally agitated would do something to harm the young lady."

Su Hao and the others nodded in understanding, after all, the reputation of the Fools was currently very bad.

In the four kingdoms of Mondstadt, Liyue, Inazuma, and Sumeru, if anyone spreads rumors that a certain faction is cooperating with others, they will likely be gossiped about behind their backs and even subjected to personal attacks.

The Rose Society's reputation was already somewhat tarnished due to its former president, and now, the news of its collaboration with the Fools is clearly adding insult to injury.

"Alright, alright, let's not talk about this anymore. Please come in." Navia invited everyone in and said, "You've all come over in the middle of the night, you must have something to tell me, right?"

"Hmph! As a friend of the Rose Society, I will definitely prioritize dealing with your affairs."

Navia was very hospitable. After inviting Su Hao and his group into the house, she even personally boiled water and made tea.

Miles also said that he would prepare some food, but Su Hao stopped him, saying that things would be over soon and that eating late at night would make him gain weight.

The women nodded in agreement, saying that a drink would be enough and they didn't need to eat anything.

Upon hearing this, Miles paused for a moment, then gave a smile that seemed to say something he didn't know what to say.

"Is there something you need from me?" Navia looked at Su Hao, her eyes gleaming with a different kind of light, because she had been wanting to ask Su Hao for help.

He also hoped that the other party would come to Baisong Town as a guest, but the other party refused two days ago. Now that he has come in person, does he want him to do something?

If that's the case, that would be wonderful, because once Su Hao's matter is resolved, perhaps I can make a small request.

"Yes, I have something to ask you." Su Hao nodded and looked at Navia seriously, saying, "A big thing happened in Fontaine tonight. The news is currently being kept under wraps, but it will definitely spread tomorrow."

"I need your help, and I also want to use the information from the Rose Society to clear Datalia of suspicion."
