Meanwhile, Möbius stared silently at Aponia and Padophilia's retreating figures until they disappeared from sight. In that instant, the long-accumulated resentment in his heart erupted like a volcano, bursting forth without reservation.

Even Möbius himself was baffled by the feeling that welled up inside him, like having a beloved toy taken away by someone else.

But she couldn't help but ask, "What exactly do you want? Who is this guy named Padophilia?"

Chen Yuan raised his head, his gaze meeting that of Little Möbius, and calmly replied, "Where do all these complicated backgrounds and reasons come from, Möbius? You're overthinking it."

“Padophilia is just an ordinary little girl. She desperately needs a new living environment and a warmer family, so I brought her here.”

After hearing Chen Yuan's words, Little Möbius's lips curled up slightly, revealing a disdainful sneer, and he mocked, "Hmph! You sound as great as a savior descending from heaven."

"But have you never considered that this girl might cause me a lot of trouble? After all, you should know very well why I came to this Twilight Street."

Faced with Möbius's questioning, Chen Yuan simply smiled faintly and calmly replied, "Of course I know the answer. Besides, isn't life itself full of all sorts of difficulties and obstacles?"

"Besides, in my opinion, Padophilis will definitely be able to integrate into life here quickly and will not interfere with your plans. Moreover, even if something happens, I'll be there to back you up."

At this point, Chen Yuan fell into a brief silence. He lowered his head slightly, his brows furrowed, as if he were deep in thought about something important.

A moment later, Chen Yuan slowly raised his head, his relaxed expression gradually disappearing and replaced by a solemn look.

Then, Chen Yuan parted his lips slightly and said in a low voice, "Everyone has their own past, and those stories that are either wonderful, sad, or mundane. Even someone as unique as you is no exception."

Upon hearing Chen Yuan mention his name, Möbius couldn't help but turn his gaze to the other person. He saw that Chen Yuan's eyes were fixed on him.

In that instant, Möbius felt as if he had been seen through, and something deep within him began to stir.

"We have no way of deciding the environment and circumstances in which we are born, nor can we control the past that has become history."

"However, thankfully, we can all bravely choose our own future and have enough power to rewrite the lives of others."

“That’s my idea, Möbius.” With that, Chen Yuan stood up, his eyes narrowed slightly, and the sudden sense of pressure made little Möbius swallow hard.

After a while, Möbius sighed heavily, a complex emotion welling up inside him.

It must be admitted that this seemingly ordinary man always manages to hit the nail on the head when he speaks. He uses the simplest words to reveal the truths hidden beneath the surface.

Although these words may not sound pleasant and may even make one feel slightly uncomfortable, they pierce straight into one's heart like a sharp sword, leaving no room for avoidance.

"Hmph! You're still the same as always, always speaking in this simple, straightforward, almost cruel way." Mebius couldn't help but snort, but her eyes were no longer as cold as they had been at first.

Faced with Mebius's slightly annoyed accusation, Chen Yuan simply smiled and did not refute it. For this stubborn and proud woman before him, too much explanation might only backfire.

"Fine, whatever you want, let's not discuss this anymore. By the way, I need your help with something."

Little Möbius waved his hand gently, then lowered his voice and said, his bright eyes fixed on Chen Yuan, "Do you know how to make a lot of money quickly?"

Upon hearing this, Chen Yuan was slightly taken aback, a look of doubt appearing on his face. He then pressed on, "Making money? What kind of money? Speaking of which, didn't that man leave you a considerable sum of money? Isn't that enough?"

Little Möbius bit his lip gently, shook his head slowly, and sighed, "It is indeed enough, but I really don't want to touch that money."

"Besides, this is Twilight Street! In my opinion, it's not an impossible task to make money quickly in this area."

Upon hearing this, Chen Yuan frowned slightly, and his voice became a little lower, "Yes, that's right, this is Twilight Street... indeed."

"In such a chaotic and disorderly place, let me think... I can actually come up with quite a few ways to make money easily, but... do you really think these methods are suitable for you?"

"Whether it suits me or not, none of that matters anymore." Möbius turned his head slightly, glanced at Chen Yuan, and his luscious lips curled up gently.

He gave a mocking sneer, "For me, the most urgent task is to grow up as quickly as possible in the shortest amount of time."

"This world, to put it bluntly, is nothing more than an endless and cruel game between hunter and prey."

At this point, Mebius suddenly stood up, her hands clenched into fists, her delicate body trembling slightly with excitement. "However, I will never become a pitiful prey to be slaughtered."

"My goal is to lead the entire human race toward a higher level of evolution!"

“If that’s the case, then I have come up with some rather brilliant ideas.” Chen Yuan, who had been listening silently to Möbius’s impassioned speech, finally spoke up.

He thoughtfully extended his right hand and gently stroked his well-defined chin, saying, "You must have heard about it before."

"This place called Twilight Street is a den of iniquity, where numerous shady illegal transactions are carried out in the shadows, and various criminal activities are rampant and extremely active."

"As long as we use a little trick and show a little skill, then piles and piles of gold and silver treasures will surely flow into our pockets like a tide."

As he got excited, Chen Yuan's lips unconsciously curled up into a sly smile. "Not only that, there's also a clever little fellow who can lend us a hand."

Just then, a faint, intermittent rustling sound suddenly came from upstairs, which had been quiet. Although the sound was not loud, it still broke the original atmosphere in the room.

Immediately afterwards, Aponia led Padophilia slowly down the stairs. Padophilia was now a completely different person from the cautious one she had been when she first arrived.

A faint smile played on her lips; clearly, in this short time, Padofilis had begun to adapt to this new environment.

"My Lord, Miss Mebius, I wonder what interesting topics you two are discussing here?" Aponia asked softly with a smile, looking at the two people at the table.

Those eyes darted back and forth between Chen Yuan and Mebius, as if trying to glean some information from their expressions or subtle movements.

When asked by Aponia, Mebius simply replied, "Nothing of particular importance, Aponia. It's just some trivial matter."

Although she spoke casually, it was undeniable that the suggestion Chen Yuan had just made had greatly piqued her interest.

"Alright! Now that Little Paddo knows where her room is, let's get some rest today." Chen Yuan coughed lightly twice, then smiled.

He winked at Möbius a few times, and the latter immediately nodded in understanding. Then he stretched his slender body and slowly stretched like a cat.

Then, she deliberately feigned sleepiness, delicately opening her small mouth and giving a long, dramatic yawn. "Indeed, I also feel my eyelids starting to droop."

"It seems it really is time to rest. Let's end the day here." Little Möbius said, rubbing his eyes as he looked extremely sleepy.

The night was deep, and all was quiet except for the faint moonlight that streamed through the window onto the ground. The clock hands quietly pointed to midnight.

Suddenly, the door to Möbius's room creaked open slightly, opening a crack. Then, little Möbius's petite figure cautiously squeezed out through the crack, followed closely by Chen Yuan.

After they stopped, they both turned their gazes to the closed door of Aponia and Padophilia not far away. After a moment of eye contact, Little Möbius and Chenyuan exchanged a knowing glance.

Then, like two nimble cats, they tiptoed and moved towards the door step by step.

They took each step with extreme care, afraid of making the slightest sound and alerting the people inside. And so, the two left Aponia's house without a sound.
