Watching his little sister's excited demeanor, Genos really wanted to cover her mouth, but he couldn't bring himself to do it.
Yuga, seeing the enthusiastic little girl waving at him, felt a sense of familiarity but couldn't quite recall where he had seen her before.
"Yuga, do you know that person?" Gleen ran up to Yuga, curious.
Yuga shook his head and replied, "I think I've seen her before, but I can't remember."
Since she was someone he couldn't remember, she probably wasn't that important.
At this moment, Adrielle finally squeezed her way into the battle area and ran up to Yuga.
"Big brother, I've been looking for you for so long! It's finally great to see you!"
The young girl reached Yuga, and upon a closer look, Yuga remembered who she was.
It was the girl he had encountered in the Purple Light Forest. Her name... he couldn't quite recall.
Yuga thought for a moment but couldn't remember the name. Well, it didn't matter; it wasn't necessary to remember an unrelated person.
However, this girl had been terrified of him back then, so why was she so enthusiastic now?
Since he couldn't recall her name, Yuga could only awkwardly greet her with a smile.
"Adrielle, why did you rush here so quickly? He's not going anywhere."
Genos also squeezed through the crowd and looked at his sister with a slightly resentful expression.
Adrielle rolled her eyes at her brother and, with a dissatisfied expression, leaned close to his ear and whispered softly:
"It's because you're so useless. You've been searching for someone, and you still have no leads, despite running a spy agency."
Genos, upon hearing his sister's words, felt like he was going crazy. Little brat, why do you have to spill everything!
Fortunately, Adrielle knew her boundaries, and her voice was very low, so no one else in the area heard her words.
With his awakened abilities, his hearing was much better than an ordinary person's. Even though Adrielle had lowered her voice, Yuga still heard her clearly.
Regarding spy agencies, there was only one he knew of: the White Light Intelligence Agency.
Could this person be the owner of the White Light Intelligence Agency?
Yuga couldn't help but speculate.
Genos wasn't just the head of the Luminescent Jewelry Company; he was also the owner of the White Light Intelligence Agency.
The names Luminescent and White Light were easily connected.
This was why Genos's family, despite having exited the League's political system, had remained prosperous.
All of this was due to the existence of the White Light Intelligence Agency.
"This gentleman here is the one who unintentionally saved my little Adrielle, right? Thank you so much!"
Genos emphasized the word "unintentionally" heavily and spoke in an oddly accented tone, making Yuga feel that the owner of the White Light Intelligence Agency was somewhat peculiar.
This person seemed to not hold Yuga in high regard, but why?
Yuga shook Genos's outstretched hand and, puzzled, said, "You're welcome. It was just a coincidence."
"N-No, Adrielle, did you hear that? He said it was just a coincidence. We don't need to..."
Before Genos could finish his sentence, Adrielle interrupted, "What do you mean, coincidence? If it weren't for my big brother saving me, I'd be dead in the forest by now!"
Genos felt like he was choking from his sister's words.
After observing for a while, Yuga finally realized that the guy in front of him was, for some reason, a siscon!
What's wrong with this world? He just met a brocon, and now he's met a siscon!
They're all so weird!
"Well... then, how about we invite this gentleman to dinner? We don't even know his name yet," Genos suggested, trying to act like he didn't know Yuga's name.
"Shimizu Yuga!" Yuga said, but before he could finish, Gleen interjected, "Why would you need to invite Yuga to dinner? This is our family's restaurant, so of course, we should be the ones to treat him, right, Dad?"
After speaking, Gleen looked hopefully at his father.
"Yes... yes," Gleen's father reluctantly nodded.
Upon hearing Gleen's words, Adrielle became unhappy.
"Who's this little brat? Who asked for your opinion!"
Glenn was also infuriated when he heard this. 'Where did this yellow-haired girl come from again? It's none of your business if I invite my idol to dinner!'
The two kids began to argue on the spot.
Gleen's father and Genos exchanged helpless glances, their expressions clearly showing their frustration with the squabble.
What's so good about this kid that makes you argue over him ?
In the end, Yuga couldn't stand the two of them anymore and shouted, "Alright! I don't need anyone to treat me. I'll treat myself!"
Honestly, he had the money to eat out, so there was no need for this fuss.
With Adrielle and Gleen glaring at each other, the commotion came to an end.
"I didn't expect you to be quite popular, my dear. It seems my taste is really good," the chattering bird, perched on Yuga's shoulder all along, remarked in a low voice.
Yuga just shook his head in response, not saying anything.
With that, they all followed Gleen's father into a private dining room.
"Oh, by the way, brother, weren't you supposed to meet someone today? Is it alright if we join you for dinner?" Adrielle suddenly asked.
Genos smiled and replied, "No problem at all. This private room is quite spacious. Mr. Shimizu, you don't mind having one more person, do you?"
Since the person he was supposed to meet had requested his assistance, Genos didn't think they would mind a few extra guests.
Yuga shook his head, indicating that he didn't mind.
"I'm just here for a meal. If you have other business, feel free to discuss it," he said.
After waiting for a while, they saw a man with long purple hair dressed in a white suit walk in.
"Good day, Mr. Genos."
The man didn't acknowledge Yuga and only greeted Genos before taking his seat.
"This is Mr. Butler," Genos introduced to Yuga.
"Hello," Yuga nodded in Mr. Butler's direction.
Mr. Butler also nodded in response but didn't say anything.
Genos took the initiative to start the conversation since Mr. Butler seemed uninterested. He didn't even spare a glance at Yuga, and as for Gleen, he didn't give him any attention either.
Because Gleen's father, as the restaurant owner, was quite busy, he wasn't in the private room with them.
Yuga wasn't bothered by Mr. Butler's condescending attitude. Arguing with someone like that would only be undignified.
However, both Gleen and Adrielle appeared visibly upset with Mr. Butler's demeanor.
Once the food arrived, Yuga focused on his meal and paid no attention to the discussion between Genos and Mr. Butler. He could tell that they were discussing Mr. Butler's research project and his desire to join Genos's team. However, it seemed that Genos wasn't particularly interested.
