Looking at the purple-haired little girl, who looked to be about six or seven years old, standing next to the middle-aged man, Aozaki Touko nodded slightly in agreement, but didn't say anything more.
"..."
Clearly, since they didn't know each other, they had nothing in common. The other person was obviously there for Luo Wei, and had nothing to do with her. So, Aozaki Touko simply nodded slightly, tactfully taking her seat and not disturbing Luo Wei and the Lehman family head's conversation.
The head of the Lehman family was deeply grateful for this.
"It's truly unexpected, Patriarch Crowley, that you have such a close personal relationship with that Grand Mage. That's quite remarkable..."
The head of the Lehman family made a joke at Rowe.
"Just friends."
Rowe smiled and shook his head. "But you can still just call me Rowe as before. After all, the title of head of the Crowley family is a bit too awkward for you."
"Oh, I see... Well then, Luo Wei. But it's so good to see you as always. I thought you were still angry with me. I've been thinking about going to apologize in person. You weren't home for a while, and I've been wanting to visit you ever since I heard you came back, but I've been too busy with some things lately."
Seeing that Rowe remained as calm as ever and did not seem angry, the head of the Lehman family secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
“No way. Uncle Lehman, you did more than enough. You not only provided a lot of funds, but also intended to acquire the Crowley family’s property, and then were willing to sell it back at the same price. I am really grateful for that.”
To this, Luo Wei felt that the other party was overthinking things. After all, Lehman Brothers had already done more than enough.
If it were any other family, they would definitely choose to take advantage of their proximity and think about how to swallow up the Crowley family first.
He remembered that kindness.
"This is what I should do. After all, I am your elder, and I am also your father's classmate and close friend."
The middle-aged man simply shook his head slightly, then looked at Luo Wei with a hint of emotion in his voice.
"However, your talent has truly exceeded my expectations. In such a short time, you have not only led the Crowley family out of their predicament but also reached new heights. Even Lord Kenneth has regarded you as his successor... If your father knew of your achievements, he would surely be very pleased."
"...Perhaps."
Luo Wei nodded slightly, but did not respond to what he said. Instead, he turned to look at the little purple-haired girl who had taken the initiative to sit next to him.
"What's wrong? Little sister, what should I call you?"
Lowe gave her a smile.
“Yvette L. Lehman”.
To this, the obviously lively little girl happily replied, "Nice to meet you, Brother Luo Wei."
"Yes, nice to meet you, little sister Yvette."
Luo Wei raised his hand and greeted the obviously lively little girl.
“Love, this is my daughter. I brought Yvette here so that she can familiarize herself with the environment of the Magic Eye Collection Train and greet the chief purser.”
Seeing his daughter so active, the Lehman family head quickly explained, "After all, Yvette will be taking over my position to deal with the Magic Eye Collection Train in the future."
Because their family's magic uses gemstones to create artificial Mystic Eyes, they have established a cooperative relationship with the Mystic Eye Collection Train and are therefore extremely familiar with it. Even if they bring a child on board, the train's owner won't object. After all, this child could potentially become their future partner.
"I see..."
Luo Wei wasn't particularly surprised by this answer, since it wasn't exactly a secret.
However, as he looked at the purple-haired little girl in front of him, he remained lost in thought, feeling that she looked somewhat familiar.
Luo Wei thought about it carefully, and it actually came to mind.
He wasn't familiar with the name Yvette L. Rayman, but her purple twin tails and the jeweled artificial Mystic Eyes were instantly recognizable. Wasn't she a student from Waver's Future Classroom? And seemingly the kind of student who gave Waver a headache. He remembered that, following the original world's progression, this little girl wouldn't be easy to manage when she grew up, constantly clamoring to become El-Melloi II's lover, giving Waver a stomachache. He never expected to run into her here.
Although not as important as Sakura, Gray, or Reines, she was still a very special existence, so Lovi had a vague impression of her.
"What's wrong, Rowe?"
Noticing that Luo Wei was unusually attentive to his daughter, the head of the Lehman family couldn't help but ask curiously, while Aozaki Touko frowned deeply.
'Is this guy coming again? Trying to kidnap my daughter right in front of us?'
She's really starting to doubt whether Luo Wei is actually a loli-obsessed person.
However, of course, Lo Wei wouldn't do such a thing for no reason.
For Sakura, he offered salvation; for Gray, he offered freedom; as for Reines, that was all Kenneth's doing, he never had that terrible idea of starting with three years.
So Yvette's family is happy and harmonious, and Rowe certainly wouldn't be so idle as to kidnap someone else's daughter.
"It's nothing, I just think your daughter is very cute, and she will definitely be an excellent heir to the Lehman family in the future."
Luo Wei smiled slightly and answered the Lehman family head's question.
"Thank you for the compliment, big brother."
The little girl smiled happily upon hearing the praise.
The head of the Lehman family patted Yvette's head and nodded gently. "Let's hope so."
"Alright, Uncle Lehman, if you don't mind, could you introduce the others to me?"
Seemingly sensing Aozaki Touko's gaze, which was clearly full of misunderstanding towards him, Luo Wei subtly changed the subject, his gaze briefly sweeping over the faces of the other three.
Excluding the Lehman family, the rest consist of two men and one woman.
Let's start with that unconventional and most eye-catching man.
His style is the complete opposite of that of a magician. He looks to be around twenty years old, but judging from his somewhat aged face, he is likely in his thirties. He has a slender build, but also appears extremely strong, with a steel-like resilience similar to that of Kirei Kotomine, as if he has undergone special training.
Not only that, his hands were unusually large compared to normal people's, and his fingertips were covered in calluses, seemingly the marks left by years of using some kind of special weapon. His fists were almost worn smooth by the scars, clearly showing how much hardship he had endured.
His hairstyle was messy and complicated, with long black hair falling over his shoulders, making him look somewhat like a street artist. He wore a black eye patch over his right eye and was dressed in Roman-style priest's robes.
There's no mistake, he must be from the Holy Church.
Furthermore, based on his aura and the marks on his body, Luo Wei estimated that this young priest was a ruthless character no less formidable than Kirei Kotomine.
Is he an agent?
That's probably true.
One can imagine how agonizing it must have been for Lehman, a magician, to share a train carriage with such a proxy.
Although the Mage's Guild and the Holy Church have an agreement that neither side can attack the other indiscriminately and that they must work together to maintain world stability, the number of mages who die at the hands of the Agents is still considerable.
Therefore, it was perfectly normal for Lehman, as a magician, to be so resistant to this priest and to keep his distance.
"Hmm, are you guys talking about me?"
However, this seemingly unconventional priest was much more cheerful than they had imagined. Hearing Lowe's discussion through his keen hearing, he stood up, then used his teeth to crack open the cork of a bottle of champagne on the table, took a big gulp, and grinned.
"No need to keep discussing my affairs, Rowe Crowley. I know you. In that case, let me introduce myself. My name is Hansa Serbandis, and I am a priest of the Holy Church."
"Similarly, I am here today to convey my greetings to you on behalf of my senior, Kirei Kotomine, Mr. Crowley."
After saying that, he raised the champagne in his hand and took a big gulp of it down at Lo Wei to express his respect.

14,000!!
Time to sleep!! It's the last day of the event! Those of you with monthly passes, please give me a few more, please~
By the way, does everyone know Father Hanseatic?
The extremely powerful reformed priest in FSF actually has some connection with Kirei Kotomine.
Chapter 132 You Have Already Seeked Your Own Way to Death
Hansa Serbandis is a name that is both extremely unfamiliar and somewhat familiar.
Upon hearing the name, Luo Wei couldn't help but raise an eyebrow slightly, a thoughtful expression appearing on his face.
Unlike Fernand, whom I met in the gravedigger village, this person's name is more familiar. Although he is not as well-known as Kirei Kotomine, Hierro, or Karen, he is definitely a character who has appeared in some work.
Seeing his unconventional appearance and his physique that had clearly undergone countless trials, Luo Wei knew that he was no ordinary nobody.
Where exactly did the other party appear?
Is it Tsukihime, Maya? Or perhaps it's from some special Holy Grail War?
For a moment, Luo Wei couldn't quite recall it.
However, seemingly noticing the thoughtful look on Rowe's face, the priest named Hansa Serbandis downed his large bottle of champagne, smiled heartily at Rowe, and then asked, "What's wrong, Mr. Rowe? Have you heard of me somewhere? If so, you've probably mistaken me for someone else."
"There are many people named Hansa, and I've only been in the business for a short time. I was only released by the old man to work a couple of years ago. Currently, I'm a priest at a church in Snowfield City in the United States. Since I haven't been back to Europe much, I don't have any particularly outstanding achievements. After all, I'm just an office worker, hahaha..."
"Isn't this a bit much? A clerical worker? Is this the kind of murderous clerical worker you are?"
This time, it was Aozaki Touko who suddenly spoke up. She looked at the Hansa priest in front of her with suspicion, who was introducing himself to Luo Wei while laughing heartily. A few strange and mysterious lights flashed in her eyes, making it impossible to figure out what she was thinking. Then, she spoke her question without any hesitation.
“Ordinary priests wouldn’t make me wary, but the killing intent emanating from you is too strong. You are clearly a battle-hardened close-combat expert.”
Aozaki Touko's words were met with strong agreement from the head of the Lehman family.
They are magicians, and although they can be a bit crazy at times, they are definitely not truly insane.
The terrifying killing intent emanating from the man before him, whether intentionally or unintentionally, sent chills down his spine just by being near him. His intuition kept screaming, 'Don't approach, don't approach…'
There's a chance to escape from a distance, but if this priest gets close, his head will be ripped off instantly. That's why he's always been wary of this Hanseatic priest, and doesn't even want to get close.
"Oh my, as expected of the renowned Grand Magus, your vision is indeed discerning. However, you are indeed right. While serving as a priest, I also served as an agent for a long time not long ago, but I was forced to stop due to health issues."
Father Hansa scratched his head, not too bothered by Aozaki Touko revealing his identity. He simply shook his arm and then explained very frankly.
"However, your body doesn't seem to..."
Orange wanted to say something more, but the next moment, when she saw Father Hansa's gloved hand making a cracking sound and his thumb beginning to bend in an eerie way, she silently took back what she had said.
There was no need for further explanation; she could obviously tell that the body beneath the Hansa gloves was a prosthetic, a mechanically manufactured limb.
If that's the case, then explaining his departure from the role of acting due to health issues isn't so hard to understand.
However, Hansa didn't seem to care much about it. He didn't cherish his body much, nor did he see anything wrong with his prosthetics. On the contrary, his mechanical body allowed him to kill the Dead Apostles and those bastards who defied the will of God more efficiently, making things significantly easier.
"In short, that's the situation."
Then, accompanied by a few distinctive mechanical whirring sounds, Father Hansa quickly withdrew his hand and looked at Rowe sitting opposite him: "However, it's really unexpected, Mr. Rowe, that I would meet you in a place like this."
"Although you probably don't know me, I would still like to extend my greetings to you on behalf of my senior, Kirei Kotomine."
