Yeah... that's Jacob. He's a silly older man. Even at half a century old, he's still single. Either he's too loyal to be Louzen's right-hand man, or he's a man who's been enslaved by the word loyalty.
"Wh-what do you want? Go away! I'm not obeying your Lord's orders!" Again Camelia shooed away the people who came to her room. She already looked calmer, although her face looked pale. Probably due to a late meal and stress from being under pressure all day. The two maids bowed and said, "I'm sorry, Miss, we were ordered by the Lord to serve your needs during your stay here." They replied simultaneously. But instead of leaving, the two maids continued to enter and deafened their hearing and ignored Camelia's attitude by continuing to work professionally. One of the maids took the towels and clothes prepared in the closet. "Miss Camelia, please clean yourself up. I have prepared a towel and a change of clothes for you." The maid placed the towel and a set of sky-blue knee-length dress clothes on the bed. The other maid was in charge of cleaning the room. She was the same, ignoring Camelia and continuing to do her job until she went back and forth in and out of the room to sweep an
Louzen's sleepiness disappeared instantly. He had wanted to take a short nap before looking through the documents left behind by the body's previous owner. But something unexpected happened. Who would have thought there would be a listening device in the room Camelia was staying in? Louzen lay down on the bed and closed his eyes even though he wasn't sleepy. He would leave the discreet investigation of the listening device to Jackson because this might have been the work of an insider or even an outsider who had unknowingly sneaked a spy. For now, Louzen only had Jackson as a trustworthy person. Hence he could not move freely in this world before taking back the Dark Shield organization from Jacob's hands, even though the older man claimed to be loyal to him. "Huft... it's right to choose sleep when you're dizzy thinking about the many problems." Louzen muttered. He put his arm over his head and forced his eyes to close. *** Kennedy Residence. The capital city of Clayton, Megan's
Great Master's residence, Dempster City of Megan Kingdom’s. For almost two hours, Louzen napped like the undead without anyone disturbing him. He deliberately locked the door and covered his ears with a pillow and prone position to not hear any sound from outside. It was 1:40 pm. Louzen accidentally woke up from sleep because of the nightmare that had been bothering him for the past two days. He woke up and sat up as soon as his eyes opened. Cold sweat was pouring down his face, which looked deathly pale. "Shit! Why am I dreaming the same thing again? This is the second time I've dreamt of myself dying in my previous life. Even the last words spoken by my enemy are still ringing clearly in my mind. What exactly is going on? Is this just a coincidence, or am I being too paranoid?" Louzen brushes his hair back with his hand. He then scooped up his frustrated-looking face and momentarily lowered his head to calm himself down. After some time passed, he grabbed a towel from the on
Louzen was left alone in the dining room. He savored a few desserts while keeping a close eye on his surroundings. Since his business with Jacob was over today, he planned to return to his mother-in-law's residence. After all, he already had a wife, even though his mother-in-law had never considered him a son-in-law. But it was X's duty as Louzen's successor to take responsibility. Louzen got up from his chair and left the dining table. In front of the door connecting the dining room with the main room, he accidentally bumped into Camelia. The girl was startled. For the first time, she had left her room because she felt safe, but instead, she met Louzen. Her face instantly turned deathly pale, her body frozen, not daring to move, even to blink her eyes. Louzen's steps automatically stopped when he passed Camelia. Seeing the girl's reaction, he didn't make any expression. Just flat. Then asked, "Finally, you want to come out too. Next time, don't trouble the maid by going on a
Since Jacob Reid was away, Louzen took the time to visit the study to see what was behind the door behind the desk. Louzen wanted to ask a question, but he decided against it. The mansion was quiet now, and there was nothing to disturb him. After all, he was the leader. So, it didn't matter if a surveillance camera accidentally caught him coming into the room. As soon as he entered the study, Louzen headed straight for the mysterious door behind the desk. But when Louzen wanted to open it, the door was locked. "Ah... damn it! Why is it locked?" He muttered. Annoyed, he kicked the wall on the side of the door, and to his surprise, the door opened by itself. "What the fuck? This isn't funny! Just by kicking the wall, the door opened!" Louzen said. He looked carefully at the wall that had been kicked. And there was a small, invisible button. This defense system was often used by certain people for storage in case of an emergency or something important. "What exactly is hidden
"Did you know that today the Great Master brought a young man to his mansion?" Asked the man holding the flashlight as lighting to the other man who was seen carrying a large cardboard box in his hand. "Yes. I heard it from some of the guards in the mansion. What is it?" "Nothing. Just curious. Because from what I heard, the Great Master seemed to respect that young man so much that even the people in the mansion had to be careful when dealing with him." "Seriously? I wonder what kind of man could make the Great Master bow down to him. You know yourself that Great Master is a person who-" The mouth of the man holding the box unconsciously let out words that shouldn't be said, making the man holding the flashlight reflexively silence him with his hand while whispering, "Shut up! Watch your mouth! What if someone hears? Do you want to lose your life by talking about the Great Master?" He said in warning. Instantly the man holding the box pursed his lips while widening his eyes.
They had been traveling between cities for over 3 hours. During that time, Louzen had analyzed the outline of the problem in Spyro's company that Frederick had left for him and discussed it with Jackson because, in the car, they were free to talk without anyone hearing them. There was nothing to worry about. The car prepared by Jackson was not one of the cars in the Great Master's residence, so it minimized their conversations being intercepted. During the trip, they encountered several obstacles that required stopping and wasting time. Moreover, the afternoon trip through the city's main road caused them to inevitably participate in traffic jams because it coincided with the return time of office workers. After arriving in the capital city of Clayton, Louzen chose to stop temporarily at the Royal Garden hotel in the capital city of Clayton. One of the star hotels is located not far from the Kennedy residence. The long journey made him hot, and when he wanted to return to Frederic
There was no fear in Lidya's mind even though her uncle was rude to her. Instead, she tried to release the grip with all her might. However, despite using both hands, Uncle John still did not let go. "Let--let go! I-I don't know where Louzen is either. Isn't this what you want, Uncle... John!" Lidya struggled to speak and released the grip. "You bastard! You must have intended for the division of Father's inheritance to fail, right? You insolent nephew! Why don't you die with your father!" John shouted with uncontrollable anger. Because of that, he released his grip with all his might until Lidya's body hit the wall and caused a loud crash. Cough... cough Lidya coughed from John's grip. Her back felt crushed because the impact was quite challenging. Luckily, it was only her back that hit the wall because when John slammed her into the wall, her head was down. Lidya tried to stand up with difficulty. Instead of being scared, she grinned. "If you don't accept Grandpa's decision, wh
