"You still dare to lie!"
Lincoln Hoffman, who had neither married nor had children himself, always doted on his niece and treated her as if she were his own daughter, so his first reaction upon learning what happened was a headache from anger. Seeing her lie and not admit it, in addition to being angry, he felt a strong sense of disappointment.
"People have already come to ask me about it."
Phoebe Hoffman gripped the hem of her clothes, her nervous fingers turning white as she looked at him with an uncertain expression, her mind in chaos.

The Red Alliance?
How did the Red Alliance find out that she had used the Lizard's Tail?
She couldn't make sense of it in her heart.
Mr. Hoffman was also confused and asked the angry man beside him, "Lincoln, what exactly is going on? What are you talking about, and who has come looking?"
