"Claire happened to mention something earlier, so I’m guessing there might be a personal connection involved?"
"...You do have quite the imagination."
Bald Leland did not interrupt their exchange, but after hearing Fu Qian’s explanation, Winona’s face lit up with a smile at a certain moment.
"Indeed, Claire is a long-time friend of mine. Of course, she doesn’t know that much."
"She only knows you’re a Night Watchman, not a highly skilled one, right? You truly are humble and discreet."
Fu Qian nodded repeatedly, lavishly praising her.
