It was as if she had instantly switched masks for her soul. The genius in his arms curled her lips into a mischievous expression that looked exactly like Sparkle's.
Russell: "..."
Geniuses really were troublesome things.
But fortunately, there was another particularly simple way to deal with a genius.
Russell took a deep breath and, with lightning-fast Divine Speed, struck Herta across the neck with the edge of his hand, forcibly ending the game.
Then, he simply carried Herta back to reality.
"I'm going to see Topaz. Do you want to come with me?"
Holding Herta in one hand, he spoke to Robin and Tingyun beside him.
Tingyun remained silent, while Robin stared blankly at the Herta being held high in the air, her gaze filled with shock and pity.
She hesitated as though she could not bear to witness this any longer, but after recalling what this fellow had done, she merely sighed and spoke to Russell.
"I won't go for now. She's about to face a great deal of pressure from her work, and my presence would only add to it."
She spoke words that would surely give Brother Zhou Tian an ominous feeling if he heard them.
"And you?"
Russell could not help looking at Tingyun again—this fox was his mount, so in theory, she also had the right to participate in politics.
"Your Highness, why ask me?"
The fox was clearly still troubled by the matter of Dragon and Wolf, and she looked utterly listless.
It made anyone watching feel a little uncomfortable.
Perhaps he should talk her through it later?
Russell stroked his chin. After thinking for a moment, he decided to activate Space Teleportation first.
—Topaz was still waiting for him. Besides, he was rather curious about the condition of Herta's and his child.
