"That...that..."
Ies's eyes darted around, and he dared not make contact with Lycahn.
But when he turned to the side, he found himself facing Lina again. Despite Lina's gentle and silent smile, Ies felt immense pressure and finally took a deep breath.
Then—
"I'm really, really sorry!"
Ies bent down and bowed in apology, his small body leaning forward dramatically, and he fell to the ground with a thud, then covered his head and got up.
Before he could even cry out in pain, Ies quickly explained:
"Ryan is a renowned hacker, a member of the gray area, and she's been kidnapped by an unknown group. I initially hid it from you because I was worried about you..."
"Are you worried we'll hand it over to the police?"
The perceptive Lycaon immediately guessed what Ies was thinking and helped him finish the sentence.
"OK!"
Ies nodded repeatedly.
Lycahn breathed a sigh of relief, his whole body relaxing. After a moment's thought, he said, "I see. Since Lord Rope Craftsman is willing to exchange information with us, then our next operation will not be affected."
"The next steps..."
Ies muttered to himself, then suddenly realized something, and the eyes on the screen zoomed out: "Wait, Lycahn, are you still willing to cooperate with me?"
Ies looked somewhat dazed.
But... but didn't I hide some information from you at the beginning?
Moreover, even if we take a step back and assume the situation involves the rebels, shouldn't a normal person call the police?
Clearly, Victoria's housekeeping practices are unconventional.
"certainly."
Lykan nodded slightly, a matter-of-fact expression on his white-haired face:
"Rope Maker, I'm sure you can understand. The employers of Victoria Household Services undoubtedly hold a certain status in New Ellito."
"As employers, if we have to rely on the police for something as trivial as protecting property... Victoria Housekeeping cannot tolerate such rumors that damage the reputation of its clients."
"and..."
Lycahn suddenly turned his head to look behind him.
Ies was a little confused and followed Lycaon's gaze.
Then they saw two figures standing up on the bench, which was half-hidden by the flower bed, and walking over hand in hand.
Halfway there, the two suddenly realized something. Eileen's pretty face turned bright red, and they separated as if they had been electrocuted, seemingly muttering something under their breath.
Although no one on Lycaon's side heard it, Fagar heard it clearly.
"Don't...don't let them know about this. I don't know how to face them yet."
"...Uh, hehe."
Fagga couldn't help but let out a wry smile.
Upon closer reflection, it seems that only Colleen is still in the dark about this whole Victoria Housekeeping business.
However, Ellen wanted to continue burying her head in the sand, and Fagar couldn't bear to remind her that everyone knew she was stealing hearts. He went back into the crowd before her and came to Lycan.
Having just returned, Fagga sensed that the atmosphere here seemed slightly off, and asked somewhat awkwardly, "What's wrong?"
Lykahn's gaze lingered on Fagar for a long time before he shook his head: "It's alright, but there's something you might be concerned about."
What I care about?
Faga's eyes deepened with doubt, and Lycahn didn't keep him in suspense any longer, saying directly, "I remember you once said that you wanted to find a high-end hacker to hack into the firewall of Beast II."
"Um."
Fagga nodded slightly.
Although at first, Lycaon and the others did not know about the second demon.
But after all, Fagar was conducting experiments in the basement, so how could such a large humanoid machine be kept secret from Lycaon and Lina?
Therefore, on the third day after Fagar brought back the second demon, he confessed everything to Lycan and Lina, who were puzzled.
Faga thought that Lycan and the others were just asking casually, but he never expected that they would keep it in mind all the time, which warmed Faga's heart.
"Now is a good time. Although we don't know what the rebels want to do with Miss Ryan, the fact that they've targeted her means that Miss Ryan's professional skills must be quite good. Let her give it a try."
Before he could finish speaking, Lycaon saw a slight gleam in Fagar's eyes and couldn't help but smile.
He then turned his gaze to Ies and asked, "Lord Rope Craftsman, do you have something urgent? We'd like to..."
"It's alright, it's alright, I should thank you for rescuing Ryan!"
Eis waved his hand repeatedly, saying that Bai Zhi Heavy Industry wasn't in a hurry, and besides, Victoria Housekeeping was so busy, it wouldn't hurt to cut in line.
"Very good, let's get going without delay."
