BXBX NOVEL Chapter 141: Luggages Problem
"I'm sure it's only a matter of time now before those vultures come to visit you. Just what is your goal?"
"Don't worry, I have a plan. By the way, Lily, you should eat too.
I'm sure it's not like every day you can have an all-you-can-eat in the most expensive restaurant in your kingdom."
Seeing the tasty dishes while smelling their delicious aroma, Lily couldn't help but salivate.
She finally gave in and started enjoying the dishes. It's not like she could do anything at this point, so it's better to just enjoy the situation.
After the hearty meal, while the restaurant staff was still busy taking care of the guests who kept coming nonstop, Alex asked Lily, "Do you want to order more for takeaway?"
Seeing the many untouched dishes on the table, Lily protested, "There are still many meals here. Do you still want to order more?
Better leave it for the customers outside. The food here is not that good when it turns cold."
"Oh, you don't need to worry about it. I have a way to store all of this without reducing its freshness.
And it's not all for me; I want to bring some for my sister and friend who were waiting for me."
Alex's words piqued Lily's interest, "You have a sister? Can you tell me more about the world outside?"
"This place has many ears. Let's talk about that when we're really out.
How about you tell me the situation here instead? Has the kingdom had any big conflicts lately?"
Lily thought for a moment but then shook her head. "I don't know. I have been out of touch about what's happened for too long.
My mom and brother often called me to ask how I was doing, but when they talked about something about the royal courts, I cut them off.
I really don't want to get involved in it."
"Hmm. This will make things harder," Alex thought.
He had planned to ask Lily's help to find out the situation so he knew what to do with the people that would be bothering him soon. 'Seems I can only depend on Vesa and my abilities then.'
He then said, "Well, if you don't want any takeaway, do you have something you want to buy? It's a rare opportunity, you know." Alex pointed at the bracelet in his hand.
"You do know all of this is paid by the Sentinel's pocket. What are you talking about inside there? It seems you do this on purpose to make him cry."
Alex let out a chuckle. "You Sentinel screwed me over. Since he gave this bangle to me, he should have prepared for the result.
Well, it's not like I hate him or anything. Let's just say we call it even with this.
So, what do you want? I don't believe if you say you don't want anything.
This is a rare chance, you know. You will probably don't have this opportunity again in the future."
'Well, since I'm going to go to the outside world, it's better if I pack up many things. But bringing many luggage will be a problem,' Lily thought.
She then remembered Alex saying he had a solution: to bring the food outside. "I have many things I want to buy, but can you help pack it all up?
Bringing too much luggage will be a problem when we travel far away."
"Don't worry about it. I can take as many as you bring. But you should hurry; when the vultures come to us, we won't have time to buy anything.
Or we can just ask them to get the items for us," Alex replied with a chuckle.
"Hmph, no thanks. Getting something from them will just make them think I accept their favor.
Some of the men will also overthink my actions, thinking I like them back; it will just become annoying later on."
"Well, that is true if you stay here, but do you forget you will leave soon?"
"That will work for you since you have no one here, Alex. But for me, they will then bother my family, my mom, and my brother. So I cannot do that."
Alex smirked. "Don't worry about it. I will just be the one who accepts it for you then. You just need to signal me if you want something.
Oh yeah, also tell me if the person is good or deserves to be screwed over."
Alex then taught Lily some silent signals to tell him her impression of the people who would meet him later. The signal is simple. She just needs to tap her finger silently on the table. No matter how quiet the voice is, as long she sits beside him, Alex will able to hear her.
In Fact, if he focused, Alex's hearing already reached a point where he could hear her heartbeat as long she stayed within an arm's distance from him.
Zero tap means she has no opinion; one is the worst, while ten means the best. But Alex doubted anyone involved in a fight for power would have a better score than five.
He also believed his own judgment compared to Lily's personal impression, but the more data there was, the better it was for him.
Finally, Alex put all the items into the storage ring, surprising Lily in the process. "Just where did all that food go?"
Alex smirked and then flicked his hand, taking out one of the foods and putting it back onto a table before taking it back again.
"I have an item that can take all of this to a separate space. I can give you one later if you want."
