I! Cleaner!-Chapter 1207 - 1097: Sign Language Fishing

Looking at him like this... it's probably impossible to persuade him.

Seeing the elderly mermaid's Heart Lake filled with resistance, Leon couldn't help but sigh inwardly. A large patch of seven-colored foundational hues had already covered the palm of his right hand.

If it were only the seabed freezing, we could take it slow and see if there's another way to force him to yield.

However, since the whereabouts of the Scorpio Director and Cancer Director are unknown, even though it's unlikely the Flowing Vortex Ancestor is mad enough to harm them, they're probably just trying to make them suffer a bit. But still, who can say for sure if they're in danger, so... Hmm?

I told you before, just let me go to communicate with him, and I guarantee I could have had him surrender in five minutes. But you insisted on coming yourself, and now look what happened!

After giving Leon a "told you so, but you didn't believe it" look, the alluring mermaid suddenly stepped forward, grabbed Leon's right hand, and interlocked her fingers through his open hand, tightly intertwining their ten fingers together.

"?!?!?!" x N

Under the astonished gaze of Leon and the rest of the mermaid family, the alluring mermaid held Leon's hand, interlocking fingers tightly, while her other hand pressed against her flat abdomen, then raised her head, chest out, and spoke loudly.

"You must agree to his demands! Because I've already... huh?"

Damn! You really dared to pull this stunt!

Hurriedly withdrawing his right hand to cover the alluring mermaid's mouth and forcibly stopping her abstract comments, Leon immediately breathed a sigh of relief, almost breaking out in cold sweat.

If he hadn't reacted earlier and let her finish the sentence, his innocence might have been ruined!

"Mm! Uwu!"

Struggling to break free but failing, finding Leon's hand clamped on tighter than a pair of iron pliers, causing her face to ache, the alluring mermaid immediately turned her head, glaring angrily at Leon beside her, intending to pinch his waist, only to be preemptively caught by Leon again.

"What are you doing!"

Seeing the conversation halt suddenly, then being completely ignored by his daughter as she began tugging at Leon, the elderly mermaid stood up in anger, slamming the table, and shouted:

"Shameful indecent thing, look at what you've become? And... let her go for me! Let her say whatever she wants!"

"..."

Saying my ass!

After hearing the elderly mermaid, Leon's face showed a look of speechless annoyance.

I'm stopping her from talking for your own good! If she really goes on a rant, I'm afraid you'll have a stroke and fall right there!

Unfortunately, although Leon tried hard to stop her, some things can be expressed even without speaking.

After the initial chaos, noticing the old stubborn mermaid angrily glaring at both of them, the alluring mermaid's eyes suddenly brightened. She mm-mm'd twice, then raised her other hand, pointed between Leon's legs, and smiled warmly, giving a thumbs-up.

Then, her smiling eyes turned bashful. Before the shocked Leon could stop her, the alluring mermaid pointed at her belly button, which was surrounded by a light pink hue, then took a deep breath, puffed her small belly up, cupped her hands, and lovingly stroked her belly twice.

"?!!!!!!!!!!!"

It's over!

Watching her grandpa and grandma go from surprise to shock, then quickly change to a twisted expression of anger, confusion, and urgency, the helpless Miss Saltfish lamented inwardly and painfully covered her face.

"You?! You two?!!!"

Hoping everything was just a delusion and afraid to open her eyes, Miss Saltfish heard the elderly mermaid, finally reacting, grow puzzled and stammering with disbelief:

"You actually... actually... you two are simply... ignorant..."

"We have no relationship whatsoever!"

Relying on his extraordinary calm gained from navigating various dramatic situations, Leon took less than a second to precisely regain his composure amidst the chaos as chaotic as a closing veggie market, sternly retorting:

"Ancestor, surely you know your daughter's personality better than I do.

So please try to keep calm and think carefully: which is more likely, that I did something but dare not admit, or that she came up with something bizarre on the spur of the moment?"

Are you lying, or is my daughter being absurd?

Seeing Leon still denying at this stage, the elderly mermaid became angered and amused. Although Evangelin always behaved as if she resented him terribly, she's not the type to speak nonsense about such matters, right?

So the answer to this question is obvious, isn't it? Of course, it's you, this damn human... uh... maybe not?

Calming down after learning the "bad news," staring at Leon, whose face is full of innocent confidence, and his daughter, who wants to speak but can't, anxiously struggling like a mud eel in Leon's arms, the elderly mermaid suddenly fell silent.

It stands to reason... although the Food God is a damn human, compared to his daughter with her abstractly grown brain, it seems he's somewhat more reliable?

Not to mention, this man didn't get mad at all after hearing those harsh words just now and patiently kept reasoning with him, proof he's probably a calm and rational type, probably... not someone who would do such a thing?

...

"It's Mother lying! Don't believe her!"

Seeing the elderly mermaid seemed slightly persuaded by Leon and not as if about to devour anymore, Miss Saltfish quickly seized the moment to testify on Leon's behalf:

"Besides, we've been traveling the whole time recently! Mother was driving the boat the whole time, so there's no... time for that!"

"Right."

With one hand covering the alluring mermaid's mouth and the other tightly locking her hands to avoid another shocking statement, Leon loosened a bit as he continued to explain:

"We've been rushing back without a break, on the way... hiss!"

Blanching as the alluring mermaid licked Leon's palm, Leon's hand instinctively pulled back a bit, creating a small gap, taking advantage of this, she shouted:

"Driving doesn't matter! It doesn't prevent... umm!"

Prevent my ass!

Pressing the curled hand back, ignoring his itchy wet palm, Leon looked at the mermaid elders with a mix of complex expressions, his temples throbbing:

"The two of you, I think we should restart this conversation, how about..."

"No need!"

The crown mermaid, who had been silent, suddenly spoke, grabbed the sea-blue scepter from her husband's hands, and struck the ground hard.

Soon, dozens of sea currents converged and bound the alluring mermaid, followed by a finer, longer sea current serpent appearing, taking over covering her mouth, firmly wrapping around her several times.

"Sorry for the spectacle just now."

Throwing the scepter back to her husband with some force, the crown mermaid said through clenched teeth:

"On behalf of the Flowing Vortex line, we agree to cooperate with your bureau and help your bureau find the two directors..."
