Xie Ni acted in a businesslike manner; after all, she was a security guard, and how could she possibly cover for someone in public?

Lin Qiu immediately wilted like a frostbitten eggplant.

I never expected that not only would I not make any money, but I would also be fined, making it even harder for me to afford food.

'Gurgle~' Lin Qiu's stomach rumbled appropriately.

"Didn't Mr. Lin Qiu have breakfast?" Xie Ni asked.

"Yes, I just rented this place, and I'm already out of money for food," Lin Qiu said honestly.

Xie Ni thought for a moment, then her eyes lit up.

She was worried that Freyris would hear, so she asked in a low voice:

"Even if I support you, does your senior have the ability to invent a machine that makes breakfast?"

Lin Qiu was a little confused by this question. What kind of fortune telling was this?

However, we still need to do business when customers come in.

Lin Qiu recalled Freyris's character design.

This character doesn't seem to be a real genius; he's just pretending to be one.

Everyone else saw through this, but he still pretended to be a genius because Xie Ni still believed he was.

In fact, Xie Ni had known all along that he wasn't a genius, but she just deliberately didn't point it out.

They might even deliberately ask some difficult questions.

Then observe Freyriz's reaction and offer timely hints, finding enjoyment in the process.

The more Lin Qiu recalled, the more he wanted to jump off the building. He stopped recalling and answered:

"It can't be invented."

"Really? Hehe." Xie Ni smiled slyly, which was exactly what Xie Ni had guessed.

The reason I specifically asked Lin Qiu was partly to confirm, and partly to help Lin Qiu out.

"Senior Freyris, how about we make a bet?"

"I'm betting on whether you, this genius, can invent a breakfast-making machine."

"If that's not possible, then Senior Freyris will be in charge of making my breakfast from now on."

Freires agreed; how could a 'genius' say he couldn't invent it?

?

Dude, I'm starving, and you're feeding me dog food?

What's the point of feeding me dog food? Is that even enough to fill me up? I...

“Mr. Lin Qiu, I will use the money from the fortune telling to pay your fine, so you don’t need to pay the fine.”

I... I thank you.

Well done! I love this flavor.

I'm starting to ship you two.

“Mr. Lin Qiu, although you don’t have to pay the fine, you still need to pack up your stall as soon as possible. I will help you apply for a stall, and you can set up your stall again later.”

"Okay." Lin Qiu nodded, that was perfectly acceptable.

Not only did they stop fining me, they even helped me solve the problem of applying for a stall.

You two are such good people, I wish you a healthy baby soon.

Just after Xenie and Freya left, Lin Qiu also packed his things and prepared to leave.

Actually, there wasn't much stuff. Besides the flag and the small stools under our butts, there were only folding stools for the guests.

Just then, a blonde girl stood in front of Lin Qiu.

Her long, golden hair complemented her elaborate and gorgeous dress, and she wore an exquisite hat.

Add to that the umbrella adorned with jewels and a bow hanging from her wrist, and she truly deserves the title of a lady.

Lin Qiu saw the person and called out her name: "Navia?"

"Oh? You truly are a master fortune teller; you even know my name."

Navia was wearing sunglasses, so her eyes weren't visible, but the corners of her mouth were turned up, so she must have been happy.

I wonder if he's happy that his fame has grown to the point that even people from other places know him.

"Huh? What name? Which one am I asking about?"

Lin Qiu said this in a deliberately pretentious manner.

'#'!

Navia was very angry.

She could tell that Lin Qiu was calling her name, but she pretended to be oblivious.

He even made a joke about his own name! And it was a pun!

"Pfft..." Silver, who was following behind Navia, couldn't hold it in.

Character Voice Lines - Lin Qiu: To understand Lin Qiu, firstly...

"Want to know me? Sure, then I'll tell you my real identity."

Actually, I'm not just a novelist, I'm actually a fortune teller!

Chapter 5: I brought eggs, sugar, and almonds.

“Silver…” Myles’s helpless voice rang out.

Silver is still too young; he can't even laugh at a lame joke like that.

"Ahem... I'm sorry, Miss." Silver said, then returned to his expressionless state.

Lin Qiu also took the opportunity to apologize, "I'm sorry, Miss Navia. Your name is known to everyone from Ireland to Khitan. How could I not know you?"

I hope you're not angry.

As Lin Qiu spoke, he handed the folding stool prepared for the guest to Navia.

"Hahaha, it's alright." Navia laughed heartily.

She sat down, smoothing her skirt, without any hesitation.

I don't know what Ireland and Khitan are, but judging from the sentences, these two places must be very far apart.

Lin Qiu felt something was off about Navia sitting on the folding stool.

It feels like seeing a cosplayer who has changed into their costume.

She put on exquisite makeup, colored contact lenses, and a wig to prepare for the comic convention.

However, his parents caught him and took him back to their hometown, where he could only sit on a stool, looking dazed.

At this moment, the crowd that had been evacuated began to gather again because of Navia's arrival.

It's not because Navia is particularly beautiful... well, maybe that's one of the reasons.

The main reason is Navia's status as the owner of the Rose of the Thorn Society.

Although the Rose Society is now very famous, its reputation is not very good.

Having grown accustomed to the whispers around her, Navia simply ignored them.

"Mr. Lin Qiu, right?"

Navia had been nearby since earlier and overheard Xie Ni and Lin Qiu's conversation.

So she knew Lin Qiu's name.

"Just call me Lin Qiu." Lin Qiu.

"Okay, Lin Qiu, it's a pleasure to meet you."

“I am Navia Casapa, the owner of the Rose Society. Just call me Navia.” Navia didn’t stand on ceremony.

“Second-in-command Silver.”

Silver introduced himself with a cold expression.

If Lin Qiu hadn't burst out laughing earlier, she would have thought he was a nobody.

"I am Myles, nice to meet you." Myles removed his hat and bowed, appearing both friendly and elegant.

Navia looked around at the growing crowd and heard their chatter.

"That's the current president of the Rose Society?"

"She's supposedly the murderer's daughter."

"You mean that unjust Carles? I thought he was a good guy before, I never expected this..."

"Yes, on the surface they're helping residents and building waterways, but who would have thought they'd be doing this behind the scenes..."

"Thankfully, this hypocrite has been brought to justice!"

Navia clenched her teeth.

It concerned her father, and she still couldn't completely ignore it.

Moreover, Navia is a very emotional person.

Lin Qiu also noticed the unnaturalness in Navia's expression, even though she was trying her best to control it.

"I'm closing up shop now. If you have something to discuss, why don't we find another place?" Lin Qiu said.

"Really?" Navia said, trying to maintain a ladylike smile.

"Thank you."

Navia also knew that Lin Qiu was trying to take care of her feelings.

After all, the other party had just let me sit down, so why would they suddenly ask to change places?

Lin Qiu's understanding nature eased Navia's tense expression somewhat.

The smile on his face became much more natural.

“Thank you for your understanding, Mr. Lin Qiu.” Miles bowed slightly.

Silver quietly packed up Lin Qiu's belongings and followed behind.

The four of them got up and left the chattering crowd.

Lin Qiu didn't get to have a good meal this time.

Navia did not take him to the restaurant, but instead took him to the secret base of the Rose Society.

This is the territory of the Rose Society, so naturally no one will be gossiping anymore.

Moreover, Navia's willingness to bring Lin Qiu here clearly indicates that she is already somewhat inclined to trust him.

"We can communicate freely here, and even Fontaine won't know what we're talking about."

Navia said with a touch of pride.

As a non-governmental organization, the Rose Society faces considerable challenges in establishing a base right under Fontaine's nose.

She did it, doesn't that make her seem amazing?

“Oh right, I remember you said you hadn’t had breakfast yet. Let’s eat and chat.” Navia said, waving her hand.

Silver stepped closer and said, "I brought eggs, sugar, and almonds."

"Let me show you my skills. My macarons are absolutely amazing; you can't get them for most people."

"Thank you."

Lin Qiu smiled slightly as he looked at the scene before him. Indeed, this was the best way.
