507,

fell for the trick.

Finally realized the leader's intention, but unfortunately it was too late to notice.

"Well then, why don't you go ahead~"

"This..."

Speaking of which, the original core of the conversation was the relationship between Cyclone and Marcina.

Based on this, they could determine the next plan.

However, it was clear that Cyclone had made a mistake.

The leader didn't care at all about Cyclone's answer. On the contrary, it had all been calculated in advance to let Cyclone take over the responsibility for Marcina.

It seemed from the very beginning that Cyclone had no right to choose.

"I..."

"Oh~ You just made big promises, now you want to back out?"

It was a tactic to provoke, the earlier assist was all part of this combo now.

But this move had no effect on Cyclone.

Right now, it didn't matter about dignity. This was definitely more than troublesome; it was a high-risk mission that couldn't be accepted.

"I, I was wrong! There's no relationship between Marcina and me, I think all the problems stem from her capriciousness!!!!"

Cyclone suddenly changed attitude, giving up on the mission in his heart and pointing all blame back to Marcina.

This move left the three wives speechless.

However, it didn't trigger much reaction from Alexander and the leader.

Alexander began to ponder over Cyclone's response.

"No relation at all? Could it be that something is being forgotten?"

Alexander was persistent and intended to keep asking.

But Cyclone shook his head vigorously, indicating he was done posturing.

At that moment, Yuna stepped in.

"Continuing to question is futile, my husband has no reason to deceive you."

"Though our perspectives and viewpoints may differ, my husband will not stand in the way of the bigger picture in such matters!"

"Yes! Yes yes yes!!"

From vigorously shaking his head to nodding vigorously.

Since Cyclone's family now understood the situation's general outline and seriousness, they could naturally articulate the true answer.

After all, no one here was a bad person, and with good communication, consensus could be reached.

However, Alexander interjected.

"I understand. However..."

"We will never speak of today's events to anyone!!"

Eileen and Little Dragon crossed their fingers over their mouths, indicating they wouldn't speak thoughtlessly.

Meanwhile, Yuna returned to stand in front of Cyclone, blocking the leader and Alexander.

Seeing everyone tense up like this, Alexander couldn't help but ask.

"...Have you all misunderstood something?"

Upon seeing this, Cyclone's family was stunned.

Meanwhile, without waiting for everyone to understand, Alexander had already turned around.

"But there's something that's bothering me now."

Alexander gazed at the leader.

"We had agreed to show sincerity earlier, and now that Cyclone the hero has confessed, shouldn't you provide some explanation as well?"

The situation suddenly took a dramatic turn. Alexander not only stopped questioning Cyclone's family about their knowledge of the Water Sect's big secret, but instead redirected the question back to the leader.

"I was only able to confirm this morning that Marcina will protect Cyclone..."

After a moment of silence, Alexander spoke up.

"But you... you knew about this all along," he said.

"What? Knew about it all along?" Cyclone shouted back.

Without any fear, the leader replied confidently, "That's right."

"I think it's about time you explain why you knew. Even Cyclone himself doesn't know Marcina, but you seem to have the inside scoop on her relationship with him!"

Suddenly, all eyes were on the leader.

Cyclone smiled knowingly to himself, thinking, It's a trap that will backfire!

"Why..." Alexander interjected before Cyclone could respond.

Unfazed unlike the wicked grin in Cyclone's mind, the leader calmly regarded Cyclone, "Some questions are best left for young ones like Cyclone to explore on their own."

"Why?!" Alexander pressed, quicker than Cyclone himself.

"It's nothing... just because I've lived for over five hundred years doesn't mean I have control over teenage affairs," the leader replied nonchalantly.

In the midst of the breathtaking scenery, the leader turned the tables unexpectedly.

In an instant, all eyes were back on Cyclone.

"Cyclone?!"

"Honey?!"

"...Could it be that before us..."

Yuna, Eileen, and Little Dragon all directed their gaze towards Cyclone.

Just when they thought the crisis had passed, the leader's words had once again shifted the focus back to Cyclone.

The power of words was truly formidable, as feared.

It seemed that the leader was determined to pin the issue on Cyclone.

Under the scrutiny of the others, Cyclone suddenly had an idea that could change everything.

"Haha... you think you can trick me? You overlooked a crucial point, making everything you said impossible to be true!"

Facing Cyclone's triumphant smile, everyone felt a lump in their throats.

"Listen, I have no connection with that Marcina. If you want to know why..."

Cyclone paused for a moment, making everyone turn their attention towards him.

"It's because I... only love big breasts!"
