Chapter 120 - Connections (2/2)
When Lois said those things Hao Xuan knew exactly who she was. He hadn't interacted with many people on earth so it didn't take him long to come up with an answer. But how come she was here? Out of all the kingdoms, all the cities, she was here with him? Was it just a coincidence?
As Hao Xuan walked silently, engrossed in his own thoughts, Sixth finally couldn't take it anymore and asked, ”Aren't you going to call her?”
Hao Xuan shook his head, ”No, not yet. I don't know what to say right now.”
They both stayed silent after that and walked around for almost an hour. It was almost 5 p.m and the sun was about to go down. Hao Xuan looked up at the scarlet sky and sighed once again.
”It's not time yet. I'll take care of it later,” he mumbled and lightly slapped his face.
”Brother, I need someone to take care of things for me while I'm not here. Someone with connections. Who is the best person for this kind of stuff?” he asked sixth after regaining his composure. Lois had reminded him of a time of his life that he didn't want to recall, at least not right now.
”Hmm, there are a few people like this. Sort of a jack of all trades. They take care of things for the top 1% as they say. But they're not expensive you know.”
”It's fine. Once they meet me, I'm sure my 'charisma' will be enough to make them work for me for free,” he grinned.
”Give me a minute, I'll be back,” he said to Sixth and walked over to an alley with Green and Red. A few seconds later he came out alone.
”Where did the big guys go?” Sixth asked curiously.
”They attract too much attention so I sent them home,” Hao Xuan smiled mysteriously.
Sixth led him to the west side of the city again. They went past the malls and entered a much quieter area. There were cherry blossom tree's everywhere and the buildings looked like the ones from the Edo period of Japan. It all looked extremely beautiful and calmed one down just by looking at the scenery.
They walked up to a mansion on the left side. As compared to the other buildings it didn't look that grand but had a very cozy feeling to it.
Sixth went up to the door and knocked five times in a specific rhythm. 5 seconds later the door opened and an old man in butler attire appeared.
”Please follow me,” he said calmly and walked inside. Hao Xuan looked at Sixth doubtfully but still followed after.
The butler took them to a guest room which looked like the set of an old Japanese movie.
”Master will be with you shortly,” the butler said respectfully and left.
”So, who is this person? You didn't tell me a lot about him. Why him out of all the others?” Hao Xuan inquired while admiring the decorations. There were some old swords, exactly like a samurai's and some beast skulls on the walls.
