Chapter 120 - Connections (1/2)

”Sixth brother, what does your family do?” Hao Xuan asked as they all walked around the city, enjoying the sights.

He had already taken care of the most important matter which was the Glaive, and he would buy a few other things after going back.

”A little bit of everything. We own a few businesses in some of the cities. What does Ninth brother need help with?” Sixth didn't try to hide anything from him and answered straightforwardly.

”I-” Hao Xuan was about to ask him when he saw the group of people still following behind. He had almost forgotten about them.

He smiled and turned around, ”Brothers, sisters, I'm sorry to have troubled you today. It was supposed to be a group thing but I dragged you all over for no reason. I have some personal business to take care off right now and need brother Jun's help so I'll have to excuse myself for now.”

”It was nice meeting all of you, I'll see you guys later then,” he bowed slightly towards them.

”It was our pleasure. Thanks to brother Hao's errands we got to see a lot of different things. If you ever visit the Den again, please don't hesitate to call for us,” Beatrice also smiled back with her usual charm that made Hao Xuan sigh inwardly.

”Damn, she really is pretty,” he thought and nodded back.

But just as he turned around, he felt something pull his sleeve. He looked back to see Lois standing right behind him with an angry face.

”You still don't remember me do you?” she said so softly that only Hao Xuan was able to hear her. He looked at her with a raised eyebrow, ”Remember you? I'm sure if we had met before, I would know. How could I forget such a beauty?”

He said with a dazzling smile, thinking she was just messing with him like before.

Lois's eyes went dim and she actually looked really hurt which surprised Hao Xuan. She got even closer and pulled his arm, making him bend down. She stood up on tiptoes and whispered in his ear, ”Did you make up with your mother yet? You were always so immature even back then, not thinking how hard it was for others. I hope you're not like that anymore,” she said and then turned around, grabbed Beatrice's hand and dragged her away hastily.

No one knew what had just happened. How come Lois was suddenly so close to Hao Xuan? But before anyone could ask, Lois and Beatrice were already gone.

Hao Xuan was frozen in that stance for a good minute, until Green bent down and lightly uttered, ”Master,” waking him from his stupor.

”Eh? Ah, where did she go?” he suddenly looked around but the two beauties had already left.

”Ninth brother, do you and that pretty lady have some sort of history perhaps?” Sixth asked with a mischevious expression, but Hao Xuan didn't pay attention.

”Brother, do you know how to get in contact with her? I need to talk to her,” Hao Xuan grabbed Sixth by the shoulder and shook him, making him dizzy.

”N-Ninth brother calm down, you'll mess up my organs,” Sixth almost vomited from suddenly being shaken like that.

”And I don't, but maybe one of the other sisters know?” he looked over at the three girls that were still standing there awkwardly. He got Lois's contact information from them and left.
