96 All We Ever Did Was Useless? (1/2)

Sometime later, Ozul and the old couple arrived back at the hotel. The dead body of Drom had already 'mysteriously' disappeared from the lounge.

Since it was midnight and there weren't many people around this area, no one had come here when they were gone.

*Yawn...*

”Well, you already know what to do. I'm sleepy now.”- After saying his part, Ozul walked away, leaving the old couple staring at his back.

Sleep was something that Ozul would never get bored with. He just woke up a couple of hours ago and now he was going to sleep again.

Irvin and Haley did not stop him, as they also wanted to test all of their previous abilities. Their gazes only held endless gratitude when looking at his back.

As Ozul got back to the room, he instantly noticed the rough breathing from both Raven and Blaze.

Though they had cleaned up the scene after Ozul had left, both of them were still awake. It wasn't because they were worried or anything.

It was just that Blaze looked up to Ozul as his role model and wanted to follow him everywhere. And Raven did not need any reason to be together with him all the time.

While Ozul did notice that the duo was wide awake, he gave priority to his sleep and slumped down on the bed.

. . .

The next morning when Ozul woke up, it was already time to leave for the Mercenary Guild.

However, before he could even sit straight, the door to the room opened, and Haley came in with food.

At the moment, Raven was training in the corner while Blaze was testing the functions of his Spatial Ring. Only now did he have some time to arrange everything in it.

Raven instantly opened her eyes, and Blaze also stood up from the bed. Both of them were not expecting anyone to come into their room, so they were on high alert.

They only calmed down after Ozul waved his hand to assure them that it was nothing.

Both of them kept looking around dumbfoundedly when Haley put the food on the table for everyone. Well, she set most of it in front of Ozul.

”I don't eat...”- Ozul said after standing up from the bed.

Haley was confused as to why he did not eat, but she wouldn't waste any food, so she put his portion in front of Blaze and Raven.

Raven did not want to eat the food since she wasn't sure why Haley had prepared food for them. But Blaze did not care and began to eat right away since Ozul had not stopped them, it meant that nothing was wrong with it.

”Why did you prepare the food?”- Raven asked while glaring hatefully at Blaze for not being 'extra careful'.

”Oh, Since Young Master has done so much for us, it is only natural that we do our best to repay.”- Haley replied while giving a motherly smile.

The motherly smile that would warm the hearts of many with the addition of the food's aroma that had spread in the room caused Raven to rethink her decision.

”Eat well. I made it all myself. Young people need energy for their growing bodies.”- Haley added before leaving the room.

As they ate, both Blaze and Raven instantly realized the difference between this food and the ones that they had eaten before.

”Why did she personally make the food?”- Raven muttered to herself after they had finished everything.

”Maybe Master Ozul helped the old couple yesterday night?”- Blaze replied when he heard her mutterings.

”... You think I didn't realize that?”

Blaze instantly shut up and looked the other way when Raven asked this while glaring at him. She knew this much since Haley herself had clarified it.

”What I want to know is, what did they do?”

”Don't worry. Young Master said that it's ok, so it's ok...”- Again, he immediately paused his sentence when Raven looked at his way.

Blaze did not want to get on her bad side since she would take her revenge whenever he trained with her.

After finishing the food, both of them left the room after Raven had arranged everything that they would be needing.

When they came down the stairs, Ozul sat on the chair while Irvin respectfully stood behind him with a straight posture. Haley was attending to the customers.

”You know what to do... And take care of that Marquis who was supporting Bafon.”

As Raven and Blaze came down the stairs, they heard Ozul instructing to seemingly no one. But they could tell from the way that Irvin was listening that he was talking to him.
