Leaving the Twelve Zodiac Star Disc, Li Xin quickly awoke from the dream. This kind of lucid dream is actually very easy to control. After some thought, it seems that Miss Aries wasn't joking.

Old Luo must have his own plan, it's impossible for him to act so rashly. Being an experienced Night Patrol, if he's decided to fight Montreal to the end, it's most likely because he's confident. The dice ruled for me quite accurately; while judging others hasn't had enough practical accumulation, one must also be careful not to disrupt Old Luo's plan because of oneself.

Li Xin needed to first sort things out by himself. Miss Aries was very clear on the matter of chatting in Celestial Capital and arriving in Celestial Capital's time issues, she didn't even hesitate in judging the general time required to reach the City Hall in Celestial Capital. This suggests she could access a highly accurate Dao Yuan Continent map.

This added some credibility, as for whether that bird could fly over two thousand kilometers, he wasn't sure. He originally thought it was some high-end magic like a Teleportation Array, but it turned out to be a straight flight.

There are some variables in a bird's journey across thousands of miles, predators and the like have to be considered. Originally Li Xin wanted to give Luo Jin a heads-up, but it seems he still has to be more cautious now.

Red fish? Carp? Bright red, that's not an issue. At least Li Xin is now a civil servant and will have to go to the market early in the morning to do some selection.

Tomorrow evening is the final deadline, and Montreal will be taken to the City Hall for a public trial. It's Montreal's request, and he also requested that Luo Jin must be present.

The identities of trial and being tried will be concluded tomorrow evening. As a member of the Black Rose in the Canon Law School, he can attend as a citizen spectator. Luo Xue, Lu Shuai, and they will also go, and Zhao Qing should also be there.

He played his cards as a precaution. Hopefully, tomorrow morning Old Luo or Aunt Fantasy will bring some good news.

Throughout the night, neither Old Luo nor Aunt Fantasy appeared again. Early in the morning, Li Xin dashed to the vegetable market. Here, he was quite familiar. The fish market predominated with seawater fish, but there were also freshwater fish. Being in mountains and near the sea, he haggled with the fish-seller uncle for quite a while and finally bought four bright red fish and two light red ones for 58 Lira 5 beans. There were other colors, but it was said the bird wouldn't eat those, only the red ones.

This is what it meant to have never been hungry.

Returning with the fish to the Night Patrol, Kathy had also returned. Wearing a black coat, black high-heeled boots, with hair tied into a high ponytail, she exuded efficiency and coldness. She found it strange seeing Li Xin with the fish, "Ah Xin, why did you buy this? They look dyed. Is it for Xueyin? You can't fool a child, these aren't ornamental fish."

"Sister Casey, I need them. So, is there any news?" Li Xin glanced at the fish, finding nothing wrong with them.

"Yes, very much so," Kathy replied, steadying her mind. "The information I gathered is that Montreal's wife's family is an empty shell, facing business difficulties and also on the brink of bankruptcy. The other side wanted to use Montreal's name to dodge debts, making Montreal suffer in silence, so he has no money at all. In Celestial Capital, there are only a few people with such power who could persuade Montreal to back down willingly. Currently, it's likely Zhao Xun."

"Did you tell Old Luo?"

"I did, I went to find him early in the morning, but he didn't seem too surprised," Kathy said. "Ah Xin, I've got a bad feeling. Something's going to happen, isn't it?"

Li Xin smiled, "Sister Casey, it's fine. Uncle Luo is a veteran of many battles, the leader of the Night Patrol. If he dares to do this, he's assuredly confident. We just need to sit back and enjoy the show."

Kathy nodded, yet her heart didn't feel too secure. She knew Luo Jin too well; he'd be casual about ordinary things, sometimes even impatient. But when it came to genuinely tough issues, he'd always remain very calm.

Yet there wasn't much she could do. Her family was also attending this City Hall trial. This was not a simple Inhaler issue—it involved the collision of two major forces. The family wouldn't change anything because of Kathy's personal preferences, nor would they take sides.

The best concession the family made was not interfering with Kathy's actions, but they also warned that she couldn't overstep boundaries. Otherwise, she wouldn't be able to work at the Night Patrol anymore; this was agreed upon from the start.

Montreal, still under house arrest, showed no signs of change. Just yesterday, a noble councilor from the City Hall stayed with Montreal through the night, leaving the Night Patrol with no other actions to take.

A thought lingered in Li Xin's mind: could it be that Luo Jin intended to assassinate Montreal in front of everyone?

Given Luo Jin's skills, Li Xin thought it feasible. If it were him, determined that Montreal was problematic and intended to go for a make-or-break approach, where better than during the public trial?

However, if he had thought of this, wouldn't the opponent have thought of it as well?

Of course, there's also reverse thinking at play. Because everyone might think no one would dare commit a crime in the City Hall, if intercepted or not causing fatal harm, Luo Jin would be completely finished.

But if it were Li Xin, he'd dare do something like that.

He wasn't sure about Miss Aries' bird, so Li Xin also bought fish food, fearing the fish would starve thin. What he needed to do was place the fish on the rooftop of the City Hall. Once put, Chris would see it.

Using fish for positioning...

The issue was, with so many buildings in Celestial Capital, wouldn't it get confused?

But venturing any thoughts now was pointless. He could only hope that Chris would arrive in time and truly call out something.

Meanwhile, over the vast sea, a golden halo flew at high speed, slicing through white clouds like lightning. Occasionally, the sky would explode with circles, sometimes plummeting suddenly over the sea, creating trenches on the water's surface. Sometimes, red seawater fish would be lifted into the air, leaving a neat row of spines falling back into the ocean, while playful dolphins might suddenly get struck by the golden light, launching them skyward.

In a luxurious, quiet manor in the Li Long United Kingdom.

At nine in the morning, he had completed four hours of morning training. Following that, it was Christian's favorite time, as sunlight gracefully poured in through the window, and a cup of hand-ground coffee was already brewed. Under the sunlight, the coffee's steam shimmered in gold.

A noble's morning starts with a freshly ground coffee.

Christian opened his cherished red diary. Although last night's Round Table Conference wasn't perfect, the discipline of nobility allowed him a good night's sleep.

'Last night, Miss Aries attempted to display her strength before me through almsgiving to Gemini. As a genteel noble lady, over-kindness can be a bit naive. Nonetheless, I appreciate this quality, indicating she hasn't been tainted by worldly ways. I've forgiven her.

Taurus was injured, and whoever can seriously injure a two-star Awakened must be of the same level. From his delight, there seems to be significant insight, not easy at his age. But it's a pity; catching up to me is impossible. Any challenge will become my motivation, sparking my infinite potential. I will be the first to step into three stars at the Round Table Conference, continuing to lead it forward.

Gemini... is too much of a drag. Perhaps I should change my approach, cultivate him first, then, in his arrogance, suddenly demonstrate the chasm between us to intimidate others. Yes, that's a better way. The current Gemini is indescribably failing with words, perhaps he has been to the Holy Land but failed. However, if choosing a support target between Taurus and Gemini, it's still Gemini.'

Upon writing this, Christian felt a sense of displeasure, taking a sip of coffee, feeling much better. How could such a person even infiltrate the Round Table Conference? Could it be a divine test for me?

He continued writing: Miss Aries seems to want to attract my attention through superficial means. Should I remind her?

No, the fun of the game lies in the tug and pull.

Upon finishing, Christian reviewed the sentences, finding them flawless, akin to the morning sunlight. He concluded at the sign-off: Eyes cast upon the vast firmament, the sun, moon, and stars are mine to pluck.

Knock, knock, knock...

The door knocked, and Christian's butler came in with the standard noble demeanor, "Young Master, the second lady of the Marking Family, the eldest lady of the Potter Family, and the fifth lady of the Phil Family wish to invite you for an afternoon excursion."

Christian thought briefly and waved his hand nonchalantly, "Tell them I have no time."

"Very well, Young Master." The butler bowed out respectfully, gently closing the door. Such was the esteemed Young Master Christian, one of the notables in the Royal Capital, with many admirers. But in front of the Young Master, they had to lower their stature.

The Young Master is a man destined for grand things, not one to be swayed by trivial romantic pursuits.

Seeing the butler's face filled with admiration, imagining the expression of those prideful girls upon hearing rejection, Christian smiled with satisfaction. It was indeed a beautiful morning.
