Chapter 455 (1/2)

New Plan (2)

“I should head back. Maybe Athena would have a plan for this. That sly fox should have a better idea!”

Ye Lang found the mission troublesome, so he gave up on his current objective. He also found himself stupid, as he could never come up with useful plans in such situations and would always require a professional.

Athena, however, did not find him stupid- he was just lazy!

“You came back? Are you alright? Did you get the thing you went for?” Awaiting his return, Athena barraged him with a volley of questions upon seeing him.

Little Zero, who was still in daze jolted awake at Athena’s movement.

“I didn’t. It’s going to be a little troublesome this time.” Ye Lang shook his head but he didn’t seem worried.

This might be due to his trust in Athena’s intellect, or maybe he knew that there was no need to be hurried.

“What’s the situation?” Athena immediately asked.

“It was like this. I came to……” He explained the situation to them, including the news he eavesdropped from the guards, despite not really understanding them.

“So you’re saying that your previous home is now heavily guarded... and there’s a dragon rider involved!” Athena got a headache just by listening. The dragon rider was a huge problem.

Even when compared to a beastmen, the dragon riders were a strong entity. Their dragons were mighty beasts that cannot be disregarded in battle!

“Yep, it was as if they were anticipating us.”

“Yeah, right. They are trying to fend from people LIKE us who are targeting the lab!” Athena snorted. Wasn’t it obvious that wasn’t the case? How oblivious and arrogant can he be to think they were prepared JUST for him!

“But, that was my lab……”

“Uh……” Athena fell silent. Her words might be a little inappropriate because, after all, Ye Lang was unlike others and was only trying to get his stuff back.

“Teacher! When you built your lab, was there a secret passage?” Little Zero asked. A mysterious place like this would usually have a secret passage.

“Yes!” Ye Lang nodded while Athena was dumbfounded.

“What? If you had one, why didn’t you use it instead?” Athena blurted.

If there was already a secret passage, why did he care about all of this? Won’t using the passage be quicker? Why is this child so dumb?

However, Ye Lang eyed Athena curiously. “Of course we must first get to the entrance to use it. If not, how do we enter it?”

“......” Athena pondered for a while, and doubtfully asked, “Please don’t tell me the entrance to the secret passage is also in your yard?”

“It is!” He nodded innocently.

As expected...
