Lucian’s expression turned serious as he pulled out Rover’s black stockings from his system space and draped them over his head. Then, setting his terminal aside, he began recording the Tacet Discord.

The next moment, everyone watched as Lucian—now wearing black stockings on his head—charged forward.

Everyone: “?”

The Tacet Discords were immediately drawn to this strange figure with stockings on his head. But before they could process the situation, Lucian’s words captured their attention.

Spreading his arms wide, Lucian declared in a booming voice: “Hello everyone! I am Scar, a Fractsidus Supervisor with two and a half years of training!”

“I love singing, dancing, rap, and basketball! Music!”

As soon as he finished speaking, the Rover’s Speaker in Rover’s arms blared a familiar world-famous tune!

At the same time, a basketball materialized in Lucian’s hands. Dribbling with flashy moves, he built up to the climax of the song before hurling the ball—instantly crushing one unsuspecting Tacet Discord.

Yet the remaining Tacet Discords paid no mind, utterly captivated by Lucian’s dazzling dance moves.

Lucian weaved between the Tacet Discords, his steps agile, his posture elegant, his movements brimming with energy—the stockings on his head fluttering with every spin.

The Tacet Discords’ gazes remained locked onto him, completely unaware that with every pass, another one of them collapsed.

As the last dazed Tacet Discord fell, Lucian struck a final pose and bowed deeply toward the recording terminal:

“Scar’s dream is to become the leader of the Fractsidus! If you like me, please show your support!”

[Option 1 Complete. Talent Acquired: Lone Trainee]

[Lone Trainee: Dancing before battle increases damage dealt by 20%.]

[Option 2 Complete. Points Obtained: 10,000]

Abby’s eyes sparkled in awe. “So that’s how you deal with them?! That’s amazing!”

Jiyan sucked in a sharp breath. “Mr. Lucian… has he always been like this…?”

Rover massaged her temples helplessly. “I should’ve taken him to Shifang Pharmacy for a brain check a long time ago.”

Jianxin gazed at him with admiration. “As expected of Master! Always solving problems in ways no one expects!”

Taoqi: “…It seems my understanding of Mr. Lucian isn’t deep enough.”

Jiao-Jiao frowned worriedly. “My liege, are you sure you want to entrust your life to this man?”

Lucian picked up the terminal and uploaded the video to the Jinya Forum.

[Shocking! Fractsidus Supervisor Scar Does THIS to Tacet Discords!]

[Content: Rare Footage of Fractsidus Supervisor Scar Dancing.mp4]

[Editor: Master Jinhsi’s Dog]

The eye-catching title instantly drew the attention of countless onlookers.

[Cloudpeak Dragon Beard Candy: I’d heard the Fractsidus use inhumane methods to modify their bodies, but I never expected a supervisor to go this far—turning stockings into a head covering!]

[—Master Jinhsi’s Dog replied: I was just as shocked when I found out. All I can say is… good luck to the Fractsidus.]

[Patroller Chixia: This ‘Scar’ wants to replace the Fractsidus leader? Is he a mole!?]

[—Master Jinhsi’s Dog replied: Highly likely! And I’ve heard a Fractsidus member named Phrolova is also a mole!]

[Jinhsi: I must admit, this ‘Fractsidus Supervisor’ dances quite well.]

[—Master Jinhsi’s Dog replied: I agree! Maybe he could perform for you sometime, Lady Jinhsi?]

[Eternal Blaze: Heard you ran into some trouble. Stay safe.]

[—Master Jinhsi’s Dog replied: Understood!]

…

Elsewhere, the Fractsidus believer reappeared behind Phrolova.

Holding the terminal, his masked face twisted in displeasure. If the previous bills were a minor humiliation, this video was outright disgraceful!

“O Great One…”

Phrolova’s expression darkened. “…What is it now?”

The believer shakily handed over the terminal. “…Please see for yourself.”

Phrolova took it without a word. Glancing at the title—”…Scar?”—she opened the video in confusion.

As the intense music played, Phrolova fell silent.

After watching the video and skimming the comments, she took a deep breath, steadied herself, and uttered two words:

“Delete it.”

The believer bowed repeatedly. “Yes, yes!”

Taking back the terminal, he ordered the tech team to prepare for deletion—the Fractsidus had no shortage of skilled personnel.

Meanwhile, Phrolova, with her back turned, secretly pulled out her own terminal. Before the post could be erased, she saved the video…

…

Rover pinched Lucian’s ear. “Comfy in my stockings?”

Lucian quickly praised, “Only yours are worthy of gracing my head. I wouldn’t deign to wear anyone else’s.”

Nearby, Taoqi glanced down at the stockings on her legs, her cheeks faintly red. Does Intelligence Officer Lucian like stockings…?

I’ll remember that! If there’s a chance later, I’ll gift him some…

Jianxin also pondered. So Master likes this kind of intimate wear…

She stole a glance at the stockings hidden beneath Rover’s long boots. Hmm… maybe I should try them too next time…

Jiyan coughed, redirecting everyone’s attention. “Listen.”

The group quieted, focusing on the murmurs emerging from the Resonance Nexus.

But the whispers were fragmented, impossible to piece together.

Jiyan stepped forward, analyzing the sound frequencies until the whispers became clear:

“I’m telling you, stop being so tense… We’re on break… Who knows when the next one will be… Hey, let’s join the race together… Go… Go… Overtake him…”

“Why won’t these Tacet Discords leave us alone… Stay back, stay back… I don’t want to die… Someone save me…”

Lucian frowned. “A race? Could these be remnants of past Jinzhou Riverside Games participants?”

“And some of these lines overlap with what we heard earlier…”

Jiyan’s expression turned grave. “These are cheers from the Riverside Games, mixed with cries for help.”

“Perhaps someone is trapped in this Nexus… Or perhaps…”

“Either way, we must investigate.”

Jiyan commanded, “Lucian, Rover, and I will enter the Resonance Nexus. Jianxin, Taoqi—return to the event grounds and ensure the spectators’ safety.”

Jianxin glanced at Lucian. Though she wanted to follow him inside, the situation left no room for selfishness. After all, her master had taught her the meaning of “greater love”—she couldn’t let him down now.

Jianxin: “Understood.”

Taoqi: “Be careful, all of you.”

Abby crossed his arms. “Relax! With this echo here, no problem!”

Rover grabbed Abby’s cowlick and tossed him straight into the Tacet Mark.
