(I'll write the chapter about warming myself by the fire as a side story after the book is finished, in case it gets banned. Please remind me later.)
"Haven't Fagga and Ellen arrived yet?"
Standing in front of the central atrium corridor, the automatic partition had reopened due to the restoration of power. Lycaen was looking down at his pocket watch, wondering why Fagar was so slow this time.
Beside him, Lina glanced at Corinne and Eis, noticing that they were a little far away, standing on tiptoe trying to see the scenery in the courtyard corridor, and wouldn't be paying attention to this side for the time being.
So she floated closer to Lycaen, squinted her eyes and chuckled softly, "The children finally have some time to be alone, so let's be lenient with them for now."
"Besides, it's said that the last doll has the ability to control water. Who knows, the two kids might still be struggling to dry their clothes right now. Hmph~"
Seeing Lina's smiling face, Lycahn couldn't help but sigh. Then his ears twitched, and he suddenly heard a slight vibration in the air.
Lina's reaction wasn't much slower than Lycaon's; they both looked in the same direction at almost the same instant.
As two familiar figures drew closer, still in that intimate pose, Lina's expression brightened even more.
She then placed her hands together at the hem of her skirt and smiled slightly, "Lord Lykan, look. Aren't they here?"
Lycahn glanced up, then lowered his gaze upon seeing the two people, turning his head to look into the central courtyard corridor.
Whew~
Whew~
Fagar finally flew over with Ellen in his arms, releasing Ellen's legs with his right hand while lightly tapping her back with his left.
Eileen, as if waking from a dream, reluctantly withdrew her hand from behind Fagga's neck. Seeing Lina's expression, she was a little embarrassed to look up and muttered:
"Lina, we've arrived."
Faga also descended from mid-air, slowly retracting his wings, letting Elaine help him put on his coat, and said apologetically, "Sorry, it took a little longer to dry the clothes."
Farga was considerate of Ellen and didn't mention how Ellen had been so hesitant and awkward when she was clutching her clothes.
"It's alright, I'm just glad you're all okay."
Before Lina could speak, Lycaon's deep, muffled voice came from not far away.
He was the one who criticized Fagga and Ellen for being late, but now he's the first one to care about them.
Under Lina's subtle smile, Lykan coughed twice, then straightened his back and said in a deep voice:
"Did you encounter Yi Hai on the way here? If so, we can rest here for a while."
"Need not."
Ellen peeked out from behind Fagga, her expression seemingly warmer than before, as if their relationship had grown even closer after what they had been through. She spoke with absolute certainty:
“Faga flew very fast, leaving the Yihai behind without making a move.”
"That's good."
Lykahn's eye twitched, but he eventually took a deep breath to suppress the inexplicable emotions in his heart.
Then his expression hardened, and his metal prosthetic leg stomped powerfully on the floor, each step seemingly inspiring.
Lykahn habitually tightened his knuckles and brass knuckles, and said seriously, "Let's go!"
The remaining staff of Victoria Housekeeping obeyed the order and filed in, crossing the automatic partition.
The central courtyard corridor is wide and long.
Although it only serves to connect the A and B buildings of the Balai Building, the Balai Brothers did not do a perfunctory job; on the contrary, they decorated it with extraordinary luxury!
He poured his life's work into it, even making sure the restrooms in the Balai Building were built to the highest five-star standard. The water in the toilet bowl should be drinkable!
So later, these two guys were on the verge of bankruptcy, and their brains were clogged by toilet water, making them sway back and forth.
At a banquet to find new business partners, the two brothers, fully aware that a crisis of emptiness might be about to erupt.
The two brothers resembled desperate gamblers, clinging to their last shred of hope and determined to continue the banquet.
They forced the female dancers who had already signed contracts to fulfill their contractual obligations and continue performing on stage!
The final result was that the Balai Building was swallowed by the void, and the dancer sisters and the last five people who escaped were left stranded on the ground.
However, the last elevator simply couldn't bear such a huge weight.
Because the gold and silver were too dazzling, the five people in the elevator found it hard to part with their two hundred pounds of wealth in exchange for the dancer sisters coming up.
Two hundred pounds, seven lives!
After walking for a while, the group finally arrived at the center of the courtyard corridor.
Eis, with his sharpest eyes, immediately spotted a pink schoolbag left lying in the courtyard corridor.
Having seen the full-body photo of Ryan, its ears immediately perked up. It trotted a few steps to the backpack, picked it up, and said:
"These belong to Ryan!"
Upon hearing this, everyone at Victoria Housekeeping immediately went on high alert.
Especially Lycahn, who was already subtly protecting Ies, said in a deep voice, "How did Lord Rein's things end up here? Fagar!"
