Chapter 138

"I'll find a way to solve it."

"What about the two girls you brought back? What are you planning to do with them?"

"I think... at least for a while, I should take care of them."

"The life a normal child should have."

"You rascal... I do have a compromise solution here, do you want to hear it?"

Loughshinny stood outside the door, her eyes wide, seemingly unable to believe what she had just heard.

What...

She subconsciously ignored the sounds coming from the back of the room, her mind completely absorbed in recalling what she had just heard...

He even forgot how he got back to his room, listening to Eblana's constant questions and concerns as she approached...

Upstairs, Zuo Jian nodded slowly after listening to the Doctor's advice.

"It seems there's no other way right now..."

"Alright, alright, there's really nothing I can do about it."

Zuo Jian gave him a grateful look, then stood up.

"Getting ready to leave?"

The Doctor, sitting in the chair, raised an eyebrow, seemingly sensing Zuo Jian's intention.

"Yes, I still have some things to take care of with Laurentina."

"Oh."

Do you want me to take you home?

"No need, I can stay here a little longer without any problem."

After the serious conversation ended, the Doctor looked away, feeling somewhat guilty.

"Really? Well then, see you later, Doctor."

Zuo Jian smiled, then lay down on the sofa and closed his eyes.

'Sigh, is that all you've got?'

The Wraith's voice sounded somewhat disappointed and exasperated.

"Shut up! Some things take time!"

The Doctor retorted somewhat unhappily, then looked at the body belonging to Zuo Jian, which was leaning against the sofa.

The latter was as quiet as if it were asleep.

But for some reason, the Doctor still tiptoed closer and then curled up small against the other person's chest.

"Hey... Wraith..."

'How?'

"I... you're right... I don't want to let Zuo Jian go like this!!"

'Hmm~ So?'

"I want... I want..."

The Doctor leaned against the unconscious body, feeling the lingering warmth, and spoke as if he had made up his mind.

Are you really not going to eat?

In the living room, Skadi slurped up her instant noodles and turned to look at Duhkare face was full of black lines.

"... Need not."

The latter sat in the chair and sighed helplessly.

Well...

He probably figured out what was going on with the woman next to him.

The other party didn't seem to have any malicious intent, nor did they intend to insult or mock.

He's just a bit simple-minded...

And...

"This chain... I can't unlock it either. You'll have to wait for Zuo Jian to come back. He said it's a safety measure to prevent you from doing anything strange after you wake up."

Skadi put down and spoke somewhat seriously.

"You just asked me if I eat instant noodles—I thought you could answer that, so I asked you that."

Duhkare leaned back on the sofa and asked in a somewhat sarcastic tone.

Skadi, who was standing to the side, was stunned for a moment, and then spoke as if she had suddenly realized something.

"That's right."

"If we can't untie it, we can't eat it either."

Damn it... this woman is definitely suspicious.

"Hey, the Zuo Jian you mentioned, is he the guy I tied up? When is he coming back?"

Skadi looked up and glanced at the time.

"It should be soon, right? Shark said it won't be long."

Snap...

!!!!

In an instant, Duhkare suddenly stood up.

Something is approaching!

Clatter

"What's wrong with you?"

"There's something... no... not something... it's life... damn it..."

The Bloodfiend Great Lord jumped back against the corner like a startled cat, staring warily at the door frame.

"Tsk! You were clearly daydreaming just now! Tell me! Were you thinking about something else?"

A woman's voice came from outside the door, but it didn't belong to that "being".

Skadi, however, put down her instant noodles and spoke up after hearing this.

"Ah, the sound of Shark, they're outside the door."

Creak... The door opened.

"I really wasn't daydreaming—really, I'm not kidding."

Zuo Jian stepped into the room with one foot and spoke with a hint of helplessness.

However, the next moment, the sound of shattering glass echoed throughout the entire space.

Skadi paused, glancing at the broken window beside her... and the bound man...

Wrong.

Where is that person? Were they just here?

"... Damn it."

Zuo Jian squinted at the shattered glass window.

That guy jumped out the window and ran away.

Chapter 96, Ah, that day... why did the window break?!

"They don't seem to be deliberately trying to scam us."

Laurentina put the shopping bag she was carrying on the ground and shook her head with some regret.

You seem disappointed?

"A little."

"The main problem is that I've felt so bored since coming to this densely populated urban area. I hardly ever have to swing a saw around all day, so it's rare to have..."

The fight ended up being just a bunch of thugs.

Originally, she had hoped that Zuo Jian would bring back some ungrateful fellow, preferably someone arrogant and cocky, the kind who would try to cause trouble without even knowing what happened.

This way, she'll finally have a reason to stretch her body after so long.

And this person actually jumped out of the window and ran away?

Tsk.

It's pointless.

"So, this guy's just going to leave it like this? He doesn't seem like he's trying to scam me..."

After she finished speaking, she glanced at Skadi, who was standing in the corner, unsure of what to do.

Alas, my worries about Orca were completely unnecessary.

"No, we can't just let him go."

Zuo Jian shook his head, then slowly walked into the room.

"What? You don't want them to leave?"

"Of course, first of all... he broke the window, we can't just keep quiet about it, can we? He at least has to pay for the repairs."

Secondly...

He thought to himself silently.

That man... he finally realized what was wrong.

It's the smell, isn't it?

Almost everyone who lives in Londinium absorbs the city's atmosphere to some extent—the atmosphere of steam, the atmosphere of people, the atmosphere of steel, and so on...

But with that guy.

Zuo Jian felt most was the atmosphere of the wilderness.

And... the scent of blood.

If nothing unexpected happens, he judged that the other party was very likely of the Sarkaz race, and definitely not a Sarkaz native to the Doli tribe.

Right now, he just needs everything he can to achieve his goals.

A Sarkaz appeared to be of mysterious origin and exceptionally skilled, able to swagger freely through the streets of Londinium.

Zuo Jian had no reason to let him go so easily.

At the very least, they should bring him back and ask if he's interested.

"Then why aren't you chasing after her?"

Seemingly sensing Zuo Jian's unspoken thoughts, Laurentina didn't directly point them out, but instead stretched and asked while sprawled on the sofa.

"If we don't chase them now, they'll get far away."

However, Zuo Jian simply walked over to Laurentina's side and sat down next to her. Then he picked up a teacup from the side, placed it opposite the coffee table, and slowly poured a cup of hot water.

"No need, he'll be back soon."

Almost the instant the window shattered, Bloodfiend Great Lord Duhkare tensed every muscle in his body; there was no doubt that the creature that appeared in the room was a pure monster!

There was no possibility of fighting. Instinct almost shattered the warning bells in his brain in an instant, telling him that there was only one possibility for him to stay there!

That is death.
