As Paimon spoke, tears welled up in his eyes. He turned to Ying, buried his face in her chest, and sobbed as he rubbed against her.

"Waaaaah... Traveler, I'm going to be poisoned to death. From now on, you'll have to continue your journey alone..."

Seeing Paimon's state, Luo Xiao waved his hand speechlessly and gently comforted Paimon, "Don't worry, you and the Traveler will be fine."

"Because this Fengda contains Lors, which is the original fetal seawater!"

Upon hearing Luo Xiao's words, Navia and Charlotte couldn't stand up any longer and quickly stood up. Charlotte even hurriedly placed the large jug of Fontaine in her hand on the table.

For the people of Fontainebleau, the primordial fetal water is even more terrifying than concentrated sulfuric acid, and many Fontainebleau people cannot even taste it. Luo Xiao was only able to distinguish it because he had drunk the primordial fetal water.

Just then, a waiter sitting not far from the group saw that Luo Xiao had seen through the original fetal water, and hurriedly ran out of the restaurant.

Upon seeing this, Luo Xiao immediately rushed over and grabbed the man's hand: "Wait...you can't leave."

"What...what are you doing? I need to go to the toilet."

The man tried to argue, but Navia, who had caught up, saw through him immediately: "Hey? Belleto, what are you doing here? Weren't you working at the Cabrière Merchant Guild? When did you end up working as a waiter at the Grand Hotel de Bois?"

"Do you know him?" Luo Xiao looked at Navia and asked seriously.

“Of course, Belleto is one of Uncle Marcel’s men, and an accountant for the Cabrière Chamber of Commerce. Why would he be here?”

Upon hearing the name of the Gabriel Chamber of Commerce, Luo Xiao immediately understood most of the situation.

"Silver, you and Myles go and call the guards over. Be quick, I'll protect the young lady here."

Upon hearing Luo Xiao's words, Silver and Miles exchanged a glance, then jogged away from the Debord Hotel.

Charlotte knew this could be big news, and with a reporter's instinct, she immediately pulled out her camera and began taking pictures of Belleto's arrest.

"What...what are you doing? I just came here for a part-time job, what right do you have to arrest me?" Belleto's face showed both fear and guilt as he struggled frantically, trying to break free from Luo Xiao's grasp.

However, Luo Xiao's physical condition was no longer what it used to be. Although he might not have much combat experience, he was more than capable of capturing an ordinary person, and no matter how much the person struggled, it was to no avail.

At this moment, the owner of the Grand Hotel de Bois, Vanagum, also arrived. Seeing the mess at the scene, he immediately asked Charlotte in a panic, "Miss Charlotte, what happened here? Did my waiter offend you in some way?"

Charlotte put down her camera, shook her head, and explained to Vanagum, "No, it's the problem with the Fontaine served to us by the waiter. We suspect that it contains virgin fetal water."

"What? Primitive fetal water?"

The news of the trial that ended at the Aubigail Opera House that morning had spread throughout Fontainebleau, especially since the Grand de Bois Hotel was very close to the Aubigail Opera House, and Vanagum had even been present at the trial that morning.

Therefore, he also understood what the primordial seawater meant to the people of Fontainebleau.

He immediately looked up at Belleto, who was being held captive by Luo Xiao, and realized something was wrong: "Wait... who are you? Why are you wearing our restaurant's uniform? Where did the original waiter go?"

"Isn't he one of your restaurant's waiters?" Charlotte asked, somewhat puzzled.

"Of course not! The original waiter was about the same height and build as him. Plus, the restaurant is too busy now, so you can't tell the difference unless you look closely. But he is definitely not one of our restaurant's waiters."

After saying this, Vanagum shuddered, realizing the seriousness of the situation. He immediately instructed the manager to organize people to ask the other guests to leave and to collect all the drinks to preserve evidence.

Soon, Melsinias arrived at the scene with several members of the Shadow Chaser's Court, preserved the scene, and took samples of the Fontaine drinks on Luo Xiao and the others' table.

"Wait... I'm innocent! I don't know anything, please let me go!"

When Belleto was arrested by the guards, he shouted that he was innocent, but Rias didn't listen to his excuses. Instead, she turned to Luo Xiao and the others and said very politely:

"Everyone, I would like to ask you to come with us as well, because the trial this morning, the case concerning the original fetal water, is being personally tried by Lady Navelette and Lady Funina. So, as the parties involved, we would like to ask you to come and cooperate with the investigation."

The group nodded and agreed.

Charlotte, in particular, as a reporter for Steambird Newspaper, has been working tirelessly on the serial disappearances of teenage girls. This case involving the original fetal seawater is very likely related to the serial disappearances of teenage girls. As a reporter, she couldn't wait to be on the scene and report on it as soon as possible.
