Donatello looked at the two tied men. Although they didn't look like good people, there was a saying that goes, "Don't judge a person by his appearance." It would be bad if they were wrongly accused. He frowned and asked, "Who are they? Why did you catch them?"

Walnut raised her eyebrows. "Of course they are criminals! Look, they don't even dare to raise their heads in front of you. If they weren't bad guys, why would they bow their heads in front of someone in uniform?"

The two tied-up attackers said, "Wuwu... Send us to Melo Petersburg quickly. This world is too horrible... I will never sell Les again..."

King Hao looked at Donatello and said, "We are from the Liyue Rebirth Hall. We entered this secret realm to collect corpses. During this time, we discovered these smugglers and murderers. They were trying to transport illegal goods through this secret realm and killed many people who accidentally entered here."

Zhongli added, "We have subdued them and are waiting for Navilette to handle this matter."

Donatello hesitated, staring at King Hao for ten seconds, and finally asked the team members to put down their guns. "Well, if Mr. Villette can confirm what you said, I believe he will handle this matter properly. But before that, I need to ensure the safety of the scene."

Donatello signaled the rest of the team to enter the secret area to check for any other smugglers or dangerous goods. Meanwhile, he was also keeping an eye on Hao Wang and the others, vigilantly observing the surroundings.

King Hao looked at Donatello with great interest and said, "As expected of the captain of the special training team, you're truly dedicated to your duties. But do you know? Your future fate is quite complex. Don't you want to learn about it?"

Donatello remained silent, just looking at King Hao quietly without any response.

King Hao continued, "As the saying goes, he who slays a dragon will eventually become a dragon himself. What is Mr. Donatello's opinion on this saying?"

Donatello shook his head and replied calmly, "I'm very sorry, but I haven't read any books on fairy tales, so I can't answer your question."

King Hao smiled and continued, "In the near future, you will become a sinner, and your daughter will take your place."

Donatello fell silent again. He felt that the man before him was too strange. He kept saying things that made no sense to him. So, he decided to ignore this weirdo.

However, King Hao didn't seem to care about Donatello's reaction and continued to speak to himself, "This is Liyue's fortune-telling technique. Since you have a connection with it, I will tell you a fortune for free. You must pay more attention in the future, especially five years from now."

Donatello sighed helplessly and responded perfunctorily: "Well, thank you."

A few minutes later, a blue ball of light descended from the sky. It was Navilet. Seeing the bound smugglers, he smiled with satisfaction. "Thank you all, Liyue," Navilet said. "These are the very smugglers we've been pursuing. Your action was incredibly timely. Mr. Zhongli will handle the case and will begin his work tomorrow. Mr. Hao Wang will continue to preserve the bodies."

Hu Tao: “?” Li Jian’s death case was indeed going to go to trial, but when did Zhongli apply for the case reported by Villette? He clearly didn’t know that Li Jian was murdered before he went in.

Donatello stepped forward and saluted Navrette. "Supreme Judge, what should be done with these people?"

Navrette glanced at the smugglers and said to Donatello, "Bring them back to court for trial. Their actions have seriously violated the laws of Fontaineland and they must be punished accordingly."

Donatello nodded in understanding and ordered his team to take the smuggler away. Before leaving, he thanked Hao Wang and the others again and promised that Navilette would reward them.

Hu Tao looked up at the moon in the sky and couldn't help but yawning. "Oh my! It's already the middle of the night. I didn't expect there are still so many things to deal with. It looks like I won't be able to go back to Liyue for the time being."

King Hao on the side said with a smile: "What's so difficult about this? We can use the teleportation anchor point to go back. We should still have time."

Walnut looked at him doubtfully and asked, "Does that thing really work?"

Zhongli then explained, "Theoretically, the teleportation anchor is just an indestructible decoration that existed long ago, but in reality, some individuals are able to use it."

Kurumi shook her head and raised her hand: "But who is that other person? I'm not that person anyway."

King Hao looked at the meteor streaking across the sky and said, "Perhaps in a few years, we'll be able to do that. By then, we'll meet a noble person who specializes in solving all kinds of big problems. She'll lead us to the teleportation anchor point."

Hu Tao rubbed his eyes and said, "Let's find a hotel first. I'm sleepy."

……

In Fontaine City, after King Hao helped Hu Tao book a room, he went out for a walk with Zhongli.

They walked slowly along the street. The surrounding architecture was distinctly different from Liyue's. Fontaine's architecture was filled with elegance and refinement, giving it a sense of sophistication. The streets were lined with a variety of flowers and trees, their fragrance filling the air and bringing joy.

Zhongli suddenly said, "You are an Adventer, right?"

King Hao was stunned for a moment, then replied with a smile: "Ah?"

Zhongli continued, "Your aura is very unique. The last time I felt it was on Tianli."

King Hao looked at Zhongli in surprise, then shrugged and said, "Whatever you say, it is true. However, I do remember being born here. Also, the power I use does not belong to me. It may be reclaimed one day."

"You might as well just kick me out, but do I look like someone who would do something like that?"

Zhongli nodded in understanding. He knew that Adventers often possessed special abilities not native to this world, and some powerful individuals could even grant other powers to the creatures of this world. The Heart of God was similar, albeit at a high cost. If it wasn't an Adventer, then it was likely a chosen agent.

Zhongli then asked, "So how much do you know about Teyvat?"

King Hao thought for a moment, then replied, "I don't know. Perhaps it's just someone's imagination. When he wakes up one day, Teyvat will be gone."

Zhongli couldn't help but smile after hearing what King Hao said. He found this statement very interesting, and he also realized that King Hao had a unique perspective on Teyvat.

Zhongli said, "Is there such a saying? It's quite novel."

King Hao smiled and continued to stroll on the streets of Fontaine City with Zhongli. It was indeed very quiet in the middle of the night, with basically no one around. Catherine was still standing guard as usual.
