Simon accused the two of disturbing the ecological stability of Capital Metropolitan, directly calling their "guardians."
Since Dashiell and Callum Yuan are both orphans, the call was actually for their guardians.
Thus, Samuel Chalmers, Scarlett Jennings, and Magnolia Hearne were brought in.
Dashiell was vouched into the Academy of Mystique by Scarlett Jennings, and meanwhile, lived in a small courtyard with Samuel Chalmers, each sharing half of guardian duties, so being summoned was understandable.
However, Magnolia Hearne pointed at Callum Yuan,
"I don’t know this little whelp; did you summon me by mistake?"
She was at most only the guardian of Dashiell’s guardian.
Simon looked at her with a subtle gaze, "No mistake."
He said,
"His guardian demon is Aaron Hearne."
However, Cassian Wolf was not in Capital Metropolitan at the moment, so only "family" could come instead.
Family · Magnolia Hearne: ...
Simon’s explanation seemed logical but also somehow off.
Magnolia Hearne considered her relationship with Cassian Wolf wasn’t close enough to handle the affairs of his guardian whelp.
Moreover...
Cassian Wolf himself doesn’t seek companions, how could he be raising someone else’s whelp?
For a moment, her gaze toward Callum Yuan grew more investigative.
Magnolia Hearne did not know Callum Yuan, but Callum Yuan knew her; seeing her stare, he just hardened his face and turned away coldly.
Magnolia Hearne ignored him, but upon hearing Simon’s explanation, she couldn’t help being somewhat surprised,
"This child is also a dragon?"
Compared to Magnolia Hearne’s amazement, the others including Samuel Chalmers appeared unfazed, evidently aware of Callum Yuan’s identity.
Simon even thoughtfully added,
"To be precise, he is the offspring of the Dragon Clan and human, like you, a half-demon."
Simon’s explanation was somewhat redundant.
But Magnolia Hearne did not overthink, upon hearing the whelp was a half-demon, her first reaction was,
"Impossible!"
Cassian Wolf, her brother... the most he hated was half-demons, how could he possibly adopt a half-demon whelp?
Especially a dragon whelp.
It would be more believable to say Simon adopted him.
As soon as she said this, Callum Yuan, who had been silent, coldly retorted her,
"Why impossible? I was brought back by Mr. Wen, and he gave me the name Callum Yuan."
Callum Yuan, one of the twelve stars, also represents December.
He was saved by Mr. Wen during the coldest time in December.
Magnolia Hearne heard this, her gaze at Callum Yuan turned more serious and focused.
She knew the boy wasn’t lying.
But in her perception, Cassian Wolf wasn’t the type to do such a redundant thing.
His adopting Callum Yuan was like a human picking up stray cats and dogs on the roadside; such an outburst of kindness wasn’t something he’d do.
Not to mention the other party was a half-demon whelp.
Seeing her face still showed obvious disbelief, Callum Yuan’s eyes grew colder with a trace of hostility,
"How much do you even know about Mr. Wen? Claiming to be his sister, in what way do you resemble his sister?!"
As soon as he said this, he sensed a familiar presence appear not far behind him, carrying a trace of deep coldness, calling,
"Callum Yuan."
Everyone turned their heads, seeing Cassian Wolf had somehow arrived unnoticed.
Instinctively looking at Simon, their eyes clearly questioning.
You said he was out of town?
Simon exposed also displayed a calm demeanor.
Yes, he did it intentionally.
Callum Yuan, a half-demon whelp from the Dragon Clan wandering outside, as soon as he appeared in Capital Metropolitan, Simon knew of his existence.
