The Most Arbitrary Wizard

Anyone who's made a habit of jumping off buildings knows that the sensation of free-falling from a great height is far from pleasant.

This was especially true for Sean, who had been pushed.

And the person who did the pushing was his wife.

Sean would have never imagined Diana could be so ruthless.

One moment, she had been forcing a kiss on him; the next, she was shoving him off a cliff.

He was caught completely off guard and didn't even have time to react.

Of course, against Diana's powerful Tier Ten Magic Power, it would have been useless even if he had managed to react. He was going down either way. Still, at least he could have been mentally prepared.

Sean didn't want to go back yet.

There were still so many questions he hadn't figured out.

Diana's words hadn't resolved his confusion. On the contrary, they only made him question the existence of the "New World" even more.

There were also things he had yet to do.

For example, going to the Blazing Angel Family to find Elvire.

If things were truly as Diana said—that people who came here via the Fallen Nether Technique might not be able to return, and that dying here could mean truly dying—then Elvire was very likely in danger.

Little did he know, Diana had long since guessed his intentions.

After all, she was Sean's wife. And even though she was in a different body this lifetime and Sean had forgotten many things, it didn't affect her understanding of the man.

The moment Sean had tried to make her call him 'Grandpa,' Diana knew what he was planning.

It wasn't actually that hard to guess.

Sean had come here via the Fallen Nether Technique. He treated this world as a Meditation World. And if it was a Meditation World, Sean had to know that dying here, even if it wasn't a true death, would inevitably inflict severe trauma on his spirit. So, it was best to avoid death if possible.

'So why did Sean still dare to speak to her like that?'

'One moment he was scolding her for being uncultured and rude, and the next he was telling her to call him Grandpa. Didn't Sean know that False Heaven was her territory, and that she herself was Tier Ten? Did he not realize that offending her would not end well for him?'

Sean knew this perfectly well, yet he did it anyway.

Because apart from being 'hard to kill,' there was a second reason: he wouldn't be staying in False Heaven for long.

Putting oneself in Sean's shoes made it easy to understand. A "Player" who believed he could do whatever he wanted in a "Game World" wouldn't stay in one place for long. In fact, if he hadn't been tripped up by her painting this time, Sean wouldn't have appeared in False Heaven at all.

And speaking of the painting, Sean's little schemes were even more transparent.

The Little Gista Family of Old Mundo City worked for her.

With just a simple question, Diana found out how Sean had managed to sneak into the ball.

Sean had used the identity of the Blazing Angel Family.

This meant Sean had already made contact with the Blazing Angel Family.

Coincidentally, the Blazing Angel Family had hosted a grand banquet in their own territory just a few days ago.

Diana had sent someone to inquire. Word was that Daeli's sister, Elvire, had returned, and the Blazing Angel Family had thrown the banquet to welcome the girl back, as well as to celebrate Daeli finally finding her long-lost sister.

'There are no coincidences in this world.'

'As long as you have enough information, you'll find that everything has a cause and effect, a trail to follow.'

'Daeli's sister didn't come home earlier, she didn't come home later, but she just so happened to come home right when Sean appeared. What else could that possibly mean?'

'They came here together.'

The Fallen Nether Technique itself requires two people to perform the Meditation together.

The answer was obvious.

'Back in the Farm World, Sean had already 'hooked up' with Daeli's sister.'

They had gone their separate ways, but they were bound to meet again. After leaving False Heaven, Sean would most likely go to the Blazing Angel Family to find Elvire.

Diana hadn't brought it up, but that didn't mean she didn't mind.

'Trying to go after other women right under her nose? Did he really think she was that agreeable?'

'And it wasn't just one woman, either. He was going after two.'

'Just like herself, Daeli would surely recognize Sean the moment she saw him, whether or not he could recognize the now-different Daeli. Ever since that incident when she sent Daeli away during the Church Court's siege of the Holy Sanctuary, Daeli had treated her as an enemy. And since she was an enemy, how could Diana possibly push Sean into her arms?'

'Diana figured that telling Daeli that Sean was still alive was already a gesture of her sentiment for old times' sake. To actually send Sean to her... Impossible.'

'Once that happened, the two sisters would be all over him, and Sean would probably be so ecstatic he wouldn't be able to walk straight. Would he even remember she existed?'

That was why Diana's shove had been particularly forceful.

It was a case of settling new and old scores all at once.

And looking at Diana's cold expression, Sean somehow sensed that she was 'using a public matter to settle a private score.' Her words said he shouldn't have come, but this 'backstab' was clearly full of personal emotion.

So, as he plunged off the cliff, Sean shouted in anger, "Olivia, you pull out so ruthlessly!"

Diana's expression didn't change. "Sorry, I don't have one of those to pull out. Your accusation is invalid."

Sean: "Yes, you do!"

"You pulled out your tongue!"

Diana: "?"

A faint blush crept onto her cool cheeks.

'A tongue counts, too?'

Diana: "..."

'Whatever.'

'After so many years apart, it was just one forced kiss. What's the big deal?'

'He was getting off easy that she hadn't pinned him to the ground and taught him a lesson all night long.'

'Anyway, what's done is done. To borrow something Sean himself once told her—'

"'If that's what you want to think, there's nothing I can do about it.'"

Sean: "?"

He wanted to say more.

But time had already run out.
