A Brutal Beating for Yaqing and a Reunion Years Later. (Continued)

The Elysian Realm won critical acclaim, while the screenwriter was heavily criticized.

Everything online has nothing to do with Yaqing.

With a mix of trepidation and excitement, he boarded the plane bound for the Far East.

This is a plane flying north; what will happen at its destination? Nobody knows.

"Uncle, why is your body shaking?"

Durandal looked puzzled.

She was personally ordered by Otto to be transferred to the Far East Branch.

Little Bianka was very happy because she and Rita were the best friends at headquarters. Ever since Rita was transferred to the central command, she hadn't had a close friend at headquarters.

Yaqing also planned to give Rita a surprise, so she didn't tell Salome and the others.

"Oh."

Mobius scoffed.

"He's just scared."

Fear?

Durandal was even more puzzled by this answer. Could it be that her uncle was afraid of heights? Or perhaps he was afraid of flying?

During those few hours of flight, Yaqing felt like each day was an eternity.

When he set foot on the land of the Far East, he wished the plane would just crash in the air, at least that way he could preserve his lifelong reputation.

"Kevin, Zed, what are you doing here?!"

Yaqing's eyes widened as soon as she got off the plane.

Surprised?

Kevin said with a smile as he took the suitcase from Yaqing's hand.

"Hehe, of course we're here to pick them up."

Kalpas grabbed Yaqing's arm.

"It can't be that bad..."

Seeing the two men acting like bodyguards, seemingly afraid that she would run away, Yaqing couldn't help but chuckle awkwardly.

Of course he knew who had spread the news of his return to the Far East. It couldn't have been Otto. Otto only knew one pink-haired fox at the Golden Academy, so how could he have passed the news on to her?

Kallen had no idea he was heading to the Far East.

Then there's only one option...

Dr. Mobius, with his haughty demeanor, stuck out his tongue, looking quite adorable.

"Uncle... it looks like you have something to do... how about... how about I go straight to the company?"

Durandal spoke awkwardly.

"And this is... Durandal?"

Kevin then noticed that there was a blonde beauty next to Mobius. He had never seen Durandal in reality, but fortunately, Honkai was based on real-world prototypes.

A blonde girl calls him "uncle"...

These factors combined make up only Durandal.

"Hello..."

Durandal thought for a long time but couldn't come up with a good way to address him. Calling him "brother" would make him seem a generation younger, and calling him "uncle" was something she really couldn't bring herself to say.

"... Ancestor."

The naturally naive Durandal ultimately chose this title.

Kevin was speechless for a moment.

Hahahaha!!!

Yaqing couldn't hold it in any longer and burst out laughing.

Even the thin lips beneath Kalpas's mask couldn't help but curl upwards.

Mobius suppressed a laugh and said in an annoyed tone.

"What are you laughing at? Little Bianka calls you uncle and little follower ancestor, so you have to call him little follower... hmm."

After being reminded, Yaqing's laughter stopped abruptly.

Yaqing stopped laughing, Kevin started laughing instead.

"Bianka, I'll call Salome to come pick you up."

In the end, Yaqing did not allow Durandal to return to the Golden Courtyard with him.

It wasn't that he was afraid Elysia's radar would be activated because of Durandal's beauty, but rather that he was afraid that what he was about to see would cause his authority as her uncle to vanish.

"Um."

Durandal nodded obediently.

Kalpas and Kevin didn't seem like they were there to pick someone up from the airport; they looked more like he was their right and left protectors.

Kalpas drive the car.

Kevin, sitting in the passenger seat, spoke to Mobius and Yaqing, who were sitting in the back.

"Don't even think about running away. We have a million ways to get your mouth shut."

Yaqing was speechless.

"Brother, you're picking me up from the airport, not kidnapping me! And this is in a car traveling at high speed, how the hell am I supposed to escape?!"

Yaqing was forced to swear.

Mobius laughed heartily.

The so-called "fear of returning home" was not something Yaqing felt at all. On the contrary, as he got closer to the Golden Courtyard, his initial fear gradually subsided.

"The worst that can happen is they'll kill me."

Yaqing tilted her head back.

Just like a wise man from ancient times.

"I'll stick my neck out here, you scoundrel. Go ahead and cut it off if you dare."

We're getting closer and closer to the Golden Courtyard.

Inside the Golden Courtyard, everyone had already made all the necessary preparations.

As the door slowly opened.

The courtyard was completely dark, with curtains blocking out the sunlight. The people stood or sat in two separate rows, like hotel staff greeting guests.

"There's no need for such a grand ceremony..."

Yaqing was startled.

"Thump!"

Elysia somehow found one of those small hammers used in courtrooms.

"Yaqing Schariac, what is your crime?"

Upon hearing this, Mobius coughed a few times, skillfully stood next to Pardo, and broke off contact with Yaqing.

[Traitor!]

Yaqing roared inwardly.

"I... I am guilty."

Yaqing silently lowered her head.

"Why aren't you confessing your crimes?!"

Vill-V stood aside and chimed in.

"I... my crime is that I wrote about the Elysian Realm too beautifully."

Yaqing answered truthfully.

Upon hearing this answer, everyone nodded subconsciously, only to widen their eyes in surprise when they realized what was happening.

The description of the Elysian Realm is indeed well-written, but this is not the answer they wanted to hear at all.

"I can't take it anymore, he's asking for it, brothers, let's beat him up!"

Kevin raised his arm and gave a shout.

Everyone responded enthusiastically.

Yaqing skillfully covered his head with both hands, protecting his handsome face.

But the question is, where exactly did Sakura pull that wooden sword from?!

A chaotic scene ensued.

Although they said they would beat Yaqing up, when it came to actually doing it, no one was willing to use their full strength.

"Pfft."

Mobius couldn't help but laugh out loud.

Yaqing's hairstyle, which Cecilia had meticulously styled, was now a mess, resembling a chicken coop, amidst the chaos. His elegant suit was also marred by footprints.

In the end, it was the refined Su who helped him up.

"How was it? How did it feel?"

"Feeling? I'll feel your grandma's leg, Su, don't think I don't know, these footprints on my body are from you stepping on me."

Yaqing gritted her teeth.

Su's expression remained unchanged; she simply released her grip on Yaqing's hand.

"Yaqing, your script is indeed very good. I have some things I'd like to discuss with you."

"Eden, you speak."

Yaqing dusted herself off; Eden was the only one who hadn't made a move.

"I want Elysia's modeling data."

Eden spoke very directly.

This surprised Yaqing for a moment.

Modeling data is indeed a crucial part of maintaining secrecy, but that's only during the production of videos or games. Otherwise, the modeling data is of no use.

"You want to... do derivative works?"

"No."

Eden shook his head.

"I want to use this modeling data for my next concert."

Yaqing paused for a moment, then smiled after realizing what was happening.

"How romantic, Eden."

Eden responded with a smile.

"Yaqing!"

Elysia suddenly rushed up and gave her a bear hug.

Mobius, who had been watching the show with a smile, froze when he saw this.

Elysia gently hugged Yaqing.

Yaqing had just felt that softness and warmth when she was already out of his embrace.

"Thank you, Yaqing."

Elysia's smile was exactly the same as the last scene in the Elysian Realm.
