But at this moment, he didn’t feel comforted at all.

Philbert looked at the row of younger family members in front of him. Every single one of them was, intentionally or not, staying on guard against him because of a little girl.

Right now, he looked just like the villain in a story.

The problem was, he wasn’t a villain. He was their grandfather.

The whole scene felt strangely ridiculous.

In the past, none of these kids had dared to speak loudly in front of him. But today, they had somehow found the courage to stand up to him.

When Philbert tried to coldly criticize Maya for what she had done in the family shrine…

They somehow had the same understanding.

Every single one of them gave the exact same answer, “She’s still just a child.”

Philbert’s temple started to throb from hearing it. His voice carried a heavy pressure as he said, “You’re really going to spoil her like this? What will she become in the future? Are you going to be satisfied if she grows up to be nothing but a useless person who just mooches off others and does nothing with her life?”

Toby almost wanted to say that sounded like a good thing.

But he held himself bac

“You can’t just start by putting her down and crushing her confidence.” George was the only person there who dared to argue back. He pulled Maya closer in front of him. “Grandpa, teaching someone is about using the right methods.

“Besides, she really can do whatever she wants in the future, right?

“Either way, you don’t need to worry about it.”

With just a few sentences, he managed to make Philbert’s expression darken.

Maya heard them talking about her future and raised one hand. She said clearly, “I want to become an assassin when I grow up! My code name will be Sausage!

She loved sausages.

“Shut up.” The moment Philbert heard her speak, he felt a headache coming on. Sausage? What kind of name was that?

He didn’t usually handle Silent Archive’s affairs, but he still knew that every assassin had a basic code name.

He could already imagine it. Among all those simple and serious assassin codenames, having one called Sausage would be unbelievably ridiculous.

Alfred was crouching behind them when he suddenly spoke up. “I want to be an assassin too.”

No matter what, being an assassin was pretty free. Having financial freedom would be easy, too. The only

downside was that it kept you busy.

Alfred liked this kind of quiet, unchanging work.

If Maya were called Sausage, then should he be called Hot Dog?

“You want to be one too?” Philbert couldn’t help adding few sarcastic remarks. “Then why don’t you two just join the Silent Archive together? When you get there, just find Ned and tell her you’re a brother–and- sister assassin duo. How does that sound?”

He was obviously being sarcastic. Maya understood perfectly, but she pretended not to. She happily hopped in place and said, “Wow, really? Can we actually do that?

“Grandpa, you’re such a good person!

“Then I’ll go report to Silent Archive after I graduate from elementary school-”

A good person, huh?

Philbert’s face twitched slightly.

He had taken countless lives. The records of everything he had done were enough to fill an entire archive

room.

And now, he was being called a “good person” by a little girl who was only seven or eight years old.

George, who was standing nearby, was already laughing so hard that he had to crouch down.

“Grandpa, you should know this. She only has Mom and Dad by her side,” Edric said as he stood at the front.

He crouched down and gently wrapped one arm around Maya’s shoulders. With his other hand, he lightly ruffled her hair. His expression was soft and full of affection. “Maya isn’t like her lazy brothers, who can just fool around because the family will always take care of them.

“Right now, becoming an assassin is the only choice she has.”

Maya was held in his arms, but she still didn’t quite understand what he meant.

“Maya isn’t like George and the others. They can freely choose whatever career they want because they have the family backing them up. She doesn’t have that. She can only rely on herself. Isn’t that right, Maya?”

Edric motioned for her to look up and smiled.

Maya finally understood. He was trying to get Philbert’s approval for her.

“Mm–hmm.” She reacted quickly. She bit her lip, then immediately put on a pitiful look. “Edric, my life is so hard…”

“Maya.” Edric looked back at her with the same deep affection. He tilted his head slightly and brushed his fingers against the corner of her eyes where there werent even any tears. “Don’t cry, don’t cry.”

The two of them went back and forth, one line after another, like they were performing a perfectly rehearsed act.

The other three were completely stunned.
