Calvados checked the time. For the sake of his future peace and quiet, he made rare use of his emotional intelligence.
"I heard that old lady say the new landlord doesn't seem easy to get along with... If I show up empty-handed, she might deliberately make things difficult for me."
"There's still some time before our appointment. I might as well bring her a gift. Besides, Logistics will reimburse all of this anyway."
Thinking Like This, Calvados stopped by a nearby Commercial Street and planned to buy something at random.
Amuro Tooru knew nothing about Calvados passing by on the street—he was currently sharing a car with Jiang Xia, and his attention was undoubtedly fixed entirely on the road ahead.
Fortunately, no pedestrians with stories suddenly darted out in front of them, nor did any heart-stopping bang ring out. Until they reached the client's Apartment, all four tires remained perfectly intact without a single mishap.
After getting out, Amuro Tooru glanced back at his beloved car and quietly let out a breath. "..." See? That Case Magnet Constitution nonsense was nothing but vague superstition. There was no need to take it too seriously. Today's smooth trip was a fine example.
"Boss?" Seeing him linger beside the car, Jiang Xia turned to look back as well. "What's wrong? Did the car break down?"
"..." Amuro Tooru did not know whether it was an illusion, but he seemed to hear a trace of anticipation in Jiang Xia's voice. Yet when he turned to look, Jiang Xia only had a little concern for the car on his face... It was probably just his imagination.
"Nothing." Thinking that, Amuro Tooru did not mention the car again. He and Jiang Xia followed the client upstairs and entered the client's Apartment.
