Chapter 202

At this moment, the atmosphere between Fang Li and Aria became somewhat heavy.

To dispel this heaviness, Fang Li took the initiative to speak, saying, “So, what do you mean by the true power of your family?”

“You don’t know?” Aria blinked in surprise and then said, “When it comes to Sherlock Holmes, there’s another aspect besides Deduction and Marksmanship that he’s famous for.”

“No, there are too many famous aspects of that famous detective,” Fang Li said matter-of-factly. “There are so many examples that it’s hard to choose just one.”

“Well, I guess you’re right.” Aria’s expression relaxed a bit, as if being praised for her great-grandfather made her quite happy. She continued, “Although my great-grandfather is indeed a very famous detective, he didn’t conquer all those cases alone. If it weren’t for exceptional partners by his side, he wouldn’t have become so outstanding.”

“Holmes’ partners?” Fang Li’s mind stirred as he asked, “Do you mean Watson?”

In the life of Sherlock Holmes, many famous characters had become his adversaries, putting him in danger many times. However, if anyone had provided the most significant help to Sherlock Holmes, it was undoubtedly Watson.

He was a doctor.

Throughout Sherlock Holmes’ life, this doctor played a crucial role in his life. He had provided Holmes with much assistance, and from the perspective of an ordinary person, he gave the detective many valuable insights. Watson was, without a doubt, Sherlock Holmes’ trusted companion and friend.

It was precisely because of this partnership that Sherlock Holmes conquered one case after another, defeated enemies one by one, and gradually became one of the most famous characters in the United Kingdom.

“In the Holmes Family, having a partner is crucial. Just like my great-grandfather, only when you find your own partner can you be considered perfect,” Aria said earnestly. “So, generation after generation, the Holmes Family always has their partners to compensate for their weaknesses.”

Naturally, if there were any deficiencies, they could be complemented.

In other words, if there was no complement, they would forever be considered flawed.

Aria was regarded as a flawed member of her family because she had never found her partner.

“That’s the result of my lack of strength. No one can keep up with my pace, so no one can become my partner.”

Therefore, Aria needed someone who could not only compensate for her weaknesses but also keep up with her pace.

As someone who couldn’t inherit the outstanding Deduction ability of her family, Aria needed someone with a clear and calm mind to be her partner.

As someone with remarkable action capabilities and extraordinary strength, Aria also needed someone with outstanding abilities to keep up with her.

“I have been searching for such a person all along, and today, I finally found one.”

Saying this, Aria’s gaze on Fang Li regained its brilliance.

“So, Fang Li, become my partner!”

The hope infused into this sentence was evident without the need for explanation.

Because only with her partner, Aria could truly become a Holmes, fully utilize her family’s strengths, and no longer be a flawed individual.

Aria had been inquiring about Fang Li because he was the most famous S-Rank Butei in the Assault Division, which gave her some hope for her partner.

This petite girl was eager to find someone who could accompany her on the journey ahead.

So, Fang Li fell silent once again.

In the Butei world, forming teams was not uncommon.

But as Aria had said, what she needed was not just a teammate but a partner she could entrust everything to, rely on, and trust completely.

It wasn’t merely about forming a team; it was a lifelong commitment.

Such a heavy wish was not something Fang Li could casually agree to. Moreover, as a Main Divine Envoy, once he completed all the Main Quests in this world, he would leave this world within three days. So, becoming Aria’s partner under these circumstances was simply unrealistic.

However, for Fang Li, that was not the primary concern. Fang Li never cared about external conditions; he cared about his own feelings.

At this moment, the only thing that caught Fang Li’s attention in Aria’s words was:

“Flawed...?”

This statement reminded Fang Li of himself. Wasn’t he also a flawed individual?

However, the flaw in Aria’s case was her Ability, while Fang Li’s flaw lay in his emotions. He couldn’t feel emotions related to death but was otherwise quite normal. This phenomenon was like a missing piece in a puzzle, making it feel rather abrupt.

In the past, Fang Li had always thought of himself as someone with a personality flaw. Now he knew that the reason for this unnatural phenomenon was that his soul automatically recorded death.

So, Fang Li wasn’t lacking something; he had something extra— a special soul.

Yet, as a person, Fang Li was still flawed.

Because of this abnormality, he was considered flawed.

If a partner was meant to complement the missing parts, then what should Aria complement in Fang Li?

As this thought flashed through his mind, Fang Li met Aria’s gaze.

“What... What do you say?” Aria’s small face tensed up, showing genuine nervousness as she said, “Let me make it clear. I’ve worked so hard to find you, whether you like it or not, you’re going to be my partner!”

“Otherwise...” Aria drew her Colt from its holster on her thigh, looking quite fierce, and said, “I’ll open a hole in you!”

She suddenly became so willful.

But this also showed just how desperate Aria was.

Fang Li smiled wryly and said, “Alright, I can be your partner!”

However, before Aria could become too happy about his response, Fang Li suddenly added another condition.

“As long as you promise me one thing.”

“A condition?” Aria hurriedly asked, “What condition?”

Fang Li smiled faintly.

The next moment, his voice gently echoed.

“If one day, the most important person by my side dies...”

“Aria, promise me that you’ll help me cry for that person...”

That day, Aria would never forget Fang Li’s expression. It was an expression that seemed almost ephemeral and it was as if he was about to vanish.
