Chapter 86

At this time, in Mondstadt, among the Lawrence family:

Yula had just received the news that the twelfth episode of *Zommei* had not been released yet. She turned around and left Takumi's shop. Amber was left alone at the shop by Yula, the ruthless woman.

No, Yula had just returned home!

Yula was about to go to the family's training ground to practice swordsmanship when she turned around and saw Schubert, her uncle, staring at her with a displeased face.

"You haven't been in good shape all day, Yula! You are from the Lawrence family. Our goal is to revive the Lawrence family. Look at you—what do you look like now?" Schubert scolded.

His tone was harsh. 

Yula felt uncomfortable, but she turned her head and looked at Schubert in front of her. She wanted to say something but couldn't find the right words at first.

Suddenly, in that moment, something important occurred to Yula. 

Yes! *"Cut Girl!"* 

Isn't the plot of this anime about rebelling against the old empire and corrupt nobles? And those adventurers who blocked the door of the house before… One by one, they all took the name of the Night Raid team! 

They almost overthrew the Lawrence family directly! Fortunately, at the critical moment, Captain Jean personally stepped in to suppress the matter. But Yula had heard that her uncle seemed to be receiving some important person at the family home that night. She didn't know exactly who it was, but there was certainly no peace of mind about it. 

It was also widely known that Uncle Schubert had been involved with those Fools from the Winter Kingdom. This made Yula wonder whether it had something to do with the recent city defense map.

Then, Yula suddenly had an idea.

"Uncle, it just so happens that I have some free time today. Why don't you bring the family members to the training ground? I'll tell you a story," Yula suggested.

"A story?" Schubert was momentarily stunned and didn't react immediately.

But Yula continued to press, "Didn't you always say you want to inherit the glory of the Lawrence family? Just right—I've done a lot of research on nobility lately. Trust me, Uncle. You don't want to miss this opportunity, do you?"

Schubert was shocked when he heard the news. "Oh, my little girl finally woke up? You're realizing that joining the knights isn't beneficial, so you're planning to cultivate a group of excellent noble youths in the family?" 

Yula's words made Schubert feel that his years of upbringing weren't in vain.

Before long, some teenagers, children, and older nobles from the family arrived at the training ground.

Of course, Yula didn't actually intend to tell them about the so-called "glory" of the Lawrence family. What glory did the Lawrence family really have?

The glory of the Lawrence family was built on the suffering of Mondstadt's residents. There was no need for such old nobles to exist.

"Today, I'm going to tell you a new story," Yula announced.

"A new story?" Schubert was taken aback. 

What in the world was going on here? Didn't I tell you to review the old glory of the nobility? What is Yula planning to do?

Yula's tale wasn't about the glorious past of the Lawrence family. If it weren't for the great kindness of the Knights of Favonius, the Lawrence family would have long since disappeared into the dust of history.

The story Yula wanted to tell today was that of the beheaded sister.

As time went on, the content of the story captivated the attention of everyone present. Not only the younger children, but even the older nobles were hooked.

"In this imperial capital that has flourished for thousands of years, there are countless dark secrets hidden!" Yula began dramatically. "And the so-called nobles are the ones who built this hell on earth! These beasts wearing human skin masks have personally transformed the entire capital into a place where justice has disappeared."

At this moment, Yula recalled the shock she felt when she first saw the plot of *Shoumei*.

The decaying old empire, and the nobles who pushed it into the abyss! These figures led to the birth of an organization dedicated to hunting them down: Night Raid.

Yula continued, "The name of this organization is Night Raid, also known as Night Raid."

As soon as Yula mentioned this, Schubert's eyes became unnatural. Yula wasn't sure if it was out of guilt or concern over what had happened the night before. 

Unexpectedly, *Night Raid* came from this anime!

Against this backdrop, the young Tazmi embarked on a journey. In the end, he encountered something he would never forget in the imperial capital.

That magnificent nobleman turned out to have such darkness hidden beneath the surface! The sweet-looking eldest daughter was ultimately beheaded!

Yula imitated the voice from the anime as she said, "Is it the target... Chi Tong?"

But, for some reason—perhaps because of Yula's Cryo Vision, or some other factor—her words made everyone present feel a chill run down their spines.

"Following that, Tazmi was taken by members of Night Raid. I saw with my own eyes the piles of corpses in the noble's warehouse, including the friends I once traveled with from my village. This time, the true face of the empire was revealed to Tazmi!"

As soon as Yula finished speaking, the room was shocked into silence. Especially the younger members of the Lawrence family, who had never heard about the darkness of the nobles. 

"Those people who blocked the door a few days ago were actually here to kill us?" one of them asked, stunned.

"But the glory of the Lawrence family was five hundred years ago! They don't care about this anymore. Could it be that someone is secretly plotting something bad?"

"It's terrifying! I'm going to sign up for the Adventurers' Guild tomorrow. I can't stay in the Lawrence family anymore!"

"Bless the Wind God, is the Knights still recruiting? Is it too late to join them?"

"Miss Yula, what happened to Tazmi? And the nobles of the old empire were all assassinated?"

"Yes, yes, Miss Yula, why don't you continue?"

The members of the family began chattering among themselves, especially planning to leave the family.

Schubert's face turned beet red with anger. But now, he understood why everyone was staring at him.

It was all because of the broadcast of *Shoumei*. The anime had a huge influence on the future of the Lawrence family.

"No, no one will really find out about my connections with them, right?" Schubert muttered to himself nervously. "No way, no way?"

He thought for a moment. "Maybe I should just cut off all ties with them, to prevent anyone from coming to my door later."
