Master Bai! This Celestial Fox Spirit Is Asking For Divorce

The Holding Facility of the Hunter Association is presently teeming with people with bigass cameras. It's like the mass media is having a field day, and all of their focus was pointed at the man of the hour. Shen Yuan. Because of this, the agents and police force associated are stationed outside, and the entry is so strict that even a fly is impossible to enter even in stealth mode.

"We never experienced such a bustle when we caught a serial killer who had 50 kill count," one agent said as he made his way towards his office. "This shouldn't happen. People need to stop oversensationalizing the incident."

His colleague who was walking with him couldn't help but comment, so he pointed his phone screen at his workmate's face and said, "Would you still blame them when you have seen this video? It's super crazy! This is probably the most documented battle of three S-Class awakeners! Every second of it would make a cut to a superhero movie trailer. That is how breathtaking it is."

"It's already expected that Bai Tingfeng will perform well, but damn, Shen Yuan was an absolute badass!"

"Yes, I saw it. Most of the TV stations, Mewtube channels, almost all video sharing websites are feasting at the live broadcast of the incident, and everyone is interpreting every part of it without knowing what really is happening!" the agent, who looks about 29 years old and is a beta couldn't help but raise his voice.

"Or maybe they knew that that incident happened because a five-year-old boy was kidnapped. They are just so enamored seeing a power battle between S-Class and the thrill of persecuting someone who just recently reawakened because he is an omega."

"Woah, woah, you are making a lot of good points in the first part, but I must stop you right there. Shen Yuan did break the law. Remember the Awakener Power Control and Regulations Law Number 13? Undocumented power shall not be used on the public, harmful or not to the masses, under any circumstances except the awakener facing a personal assault that could be proven fatal. Shen Yuan's registered power was Freezing Fire. He supposedly used his flame to either freeze or burn his target based on his will, but none of those appeared in the battle. Instead, he utilized an unregistered, overpowered flame, and by that, he technically broke the law. It's not a matter if he is omega or not. Persons of any sub-gender will face punishment if they break that rule."

"But he did it for his son! No omega father would let kidnappers take the child they birthed! And what's the chairman thinking? Arresting Shen Yuan when his son clearly needs security from his parent. Can't they put himself in the child's shoes?" the beta agent frustratedly nagged. "I am in law enforcement, and I love my job, but sometimes I cannot help but think that they are lacking something called compassion."

His colleague received an earful, but his expression remained the same. Clearly, he used to this nagging, "Well, I cannot agree more, but I wouldn't want to say that out loud when we are still inside our work's premises and on our way to our office. That is if you want to keep your beloved job. But seriously, Shen Yuan should receive some leeway, considering his strength is solid S-Class. He mostly stays abroad due to his work, and now I am afraid our country will lose an S-Class awakener. It won't be that hard for him to settle in a different country that treats him with more privilege. Aww-"

The agent suddenly bumped into something. He looked down, and what caught his attention first was the striking platinum blonde hair that only reached his legs. "Hey, little boy. Why are you here? Where are your parents—"

"And you are already here assholes! Guo Fan! Your nagging reached us even with the door closed! Do you really have to speak about the details of the case?" The office door opened, revealing a rough-looking middle-aged alpha. "You should be thankful that our today's security is air-tight, or else every— who is that kid?"

"Team Leader!"

"I don't know. We noticed him just now…" Guo Fan, the nagging beta, kneeled in front of the cute little boy and made a little wave.

"I am Brother Fan, an agent working for Hunter Association. What is your name? Do you need help on something? Are you lost? Brother Fan will do his best to help you."

Guo Fan looked into the child's black, soulful eyes. It was probably the most beautiful eye that he had ever seen. It is the kind that draws everyone to it. He bets that this boy's parents are total lookers. Just look at their child!

"I am Bai Shengyan, but my Daddy and Papa call me Yanyan, and I am five years old," the child spoke in the most pleasingly innocent voice. The three adults felt like their hearts were melting just listening to his melodic voice. "Are all of you agents? Then can I ask you to help me pay for my Daddy's be… be…" Yanyan adorably tried to think of the correct term he had in mind. It is a term used by an adult with a job, and he often hears it whenever he accompanies his Papa to watch the news.

"Bet? Lottery bet?"

Guo Fan gave a disgusted look at his colleague, "Seriously? We are in a Holding Facility for Awakened Offenders! Do you think we do a lottery here?"

"No, that's not what Yanyan meant! Uhmm… You know when the baddie Chen Feng stole the money of many people? He paid 300 million Yuan so that he could be released from the prison. Yanyan saw that in the Breaking News. Uhm… probably a month ago!"

"Is this kid talking about bribes?" Their big alpha team leader looked frightened. In his mind, he is panicking, thinking that this is the H.A. main office's new ploy to audit and see if they are doing some back door deal.

"No! Remember that businessman turned scammer who stole the insurance money of 1,500 people? That Chen Feng! He got out last month after settling a bail of 300 million, and he is set to appear in court—" Guo Fan turned to the kid with his eyes as wide as saucers. "Wait, how come you remember that—"

The little boy shined after hearing the correct term, "Bail! Can you help Yanyan pay my Daddy's bail? I have the money here!" 

And the little boy pulled out a shiny black card from his pocket.

At this moment, the three agents' eyes are about to roll on the floor.

"Huh? Is that a black credit card? Eh? What is happening? Huh? Why am I seeing that now? I am getting dizzy." Their massive alpha team leader lost his overbearing aura.

"Well, we cannot just receive money as bail without the order from the court, so—"

"Guo Fan!" his colleague interrupted, frantic. "Is that really your concern when a black card is waving in front of you? That is the rarest of the rare! That is reserved for the ultrawealthy. Never in our civil servant life will we ever touch one, even if we work hard! Just who is this boy?"

"Wait, Bai…" The man's mouth formed a wide cave. "Ah! Ah!"

"Young Master! Where did you go?" A loud voice called from somewhere near them. Echoes of footsteps followed it. "Young Master, here you are. Do not stray too far. Your Daddy will be spitting fire if something happens to you again."

"Uncle Su!" Yanyan waved at the approaching alpha, who was wearing a nice suit.

"Ah, Su Yifan! The A-Class teleporter from Baihu Guild and Master Bai's assistant!" a gasp sounded.

"Hello," Su Yifan politely greeted the three agents. "Thank you so much for looking out for the young master."

"N-no, we were just hanging around when h-he approached us," the star-struck man tremblingly explained to the newcomer. He cannot believe he is face to face with Su Yifan, and they just bump into the son of the most controversial man of the moment! 

Bai Shengyan, this child is the son of two powerful S-Class awakeners from two prominent families! It's no wonder that the child could casually wave a black card!

"Young Master Yanyan seems to have a wrong notion that he could settle a bail on the fly. He wanted to pay it right now so his Daddy would not be imprisoned. What a good little boy," Guo Fan explained naturally.

Meanwhile, his partner couldn't understand why and how Guo Fan could remain calm despite facing someone famous.

Su Yifan looked at Yanyan, who was pouting, "Oh, that was why you secretly asked for your card. I thought you would want to add something to the errand. Do not worry. Master Shen will not serve jail time. Your Daddy's deeds are not serious, and no innocent bystanders are hurt because of his power. Let's go, the fried chicken your Daddy ordered has already arrived. He wants to share his meal with you."

Yanyan's eyes sparkled, "Ohhh! Daddy is hungry. We can't make him wait! Let's go back!"

"Again, thank you for keeping the Young Master company. We will be on our way."

And the three agents watched the two retreating backs. None of them spoke for a minute.

"So bright. Since when did the Holding Facility for Awakened Prisoners become child-friendly?"

Guo Fan responded, "Who cares? At least now I know he is faring well despite what happened. Such a good and thoughtful kid…"

"What the? What happened? Who came by?" The team leader happened to snap out of his little bubble. However, no one would answer him, for his two members were already inside their office.

On the other hand, while Yanyan was out on his journey to help his Daddy, Shen Yuan's blood pressure was skyrocketing inside the interrogation room, "Huh? How come no one told me about that?!"
