Chapter 529: Arm and Ear (2/2)
”Oh...”
Looking around her, Kauana realized that she was in a different location and also noticed that Naiane was close to her and had also just woke up. With her emotions in a whirlwind, she cried when she saw that Naiane was fine and hugged her tightly. ”Glad you are fine, *sob, sob*...”
Naiane did not know what was happening, but soon the memories of what had transpired came to mind, and she also started to cry, oozing snot and mucus.
Both looked pitiful. This went on for at least a few minutes until they started to sob trying to stop crying. And for a few moments, they completely forgot about Theo and started kissing in front of him.
”*Cough, cough*...” As interesting as it is to see two girls kissing, Theo pretended to cough, getting their attention.
Kauana parted Naiane's lips that hid her face in her chest, and she smiled awkwardly at Theo, ”Sorry to show you something so unpleasant.”
”It wasn't unpleasant, but I was worried that you two would get too excited~” Theo joked.
”...” Kauana's face turned into red pepper. Taking a deep breath, she said while still hugging Naiane, ”You saved us, yes? Thanks!”
”Thank you, Theo.” Despite being very shy, Naiane knew that he was their savior.
”Mm, don't worry about it.” Theo smiled and then said, ”We are now in my city. If you want to live here, you can be at ease. Being here, you will be under my protection.”
”Wouldn't that be too much trouble?” Kauana was concerned about bringing him even more problems.
”No way,” Theo said, ”You can live here and settle down. When you decide what you two intend to do in the future, there are many new things here in the city that you can explore like being a teacher, or opening a store, even a sect.”
”Sect... Mm, I don't think I want to get involved with sects again,” Naiane said. She was kind of traumatized because of what had happened.
”I don't know for sure, but I think I would like to work in a weapons store since it's my forte,” said Kauana.
”Well, you can take their time to think about it,” Theo said, ”Anyway, there is a hotel nearby. While you haven't settled yet, you can stay there. I am the owner, so for now, you can stay there, on the house.”
”Theo, thank you very much. I will endeavor to pay for what you have done for both of us,” Kauana bowed towards him and said sincerely.
Naiane also bowed towards Theo. She was deeply grateful.
After walking for a while, they arrived in front of a 20-story hotel. When they passed through the luxury glass door, the receptionist was someone from the Orphanage and recognized Theo and said with a smile, ”Theo, you're here. Welcome back!”
”Mm, I'm here to find a room for these two. They are my friends,); treat them well,” Theo said with a smile.
”Oh, if so, they are most welcome.” Smiling, the receptionist took the key to a suite and passed it to Kauana, who stepped forward: ”It's on the 19th floor, and one of the best suites. You can feel free and take the elevator on the left. You just need to press the button there. If you don't know how to use an elevator, don't worry, Tamara will help you both to reach the nineteenth floor.”
”Thanks.” Naiane and Kauana bowed towards her.
”I'm leaving now. If you need anything, you can call my number...” Theo seemed to remember something and took out a cell phone from his storage ring. ”I assume you have no cell phone so you can use these.”
Seeing that Kauana and Naiane did not pick it up, he added, ”Don't worry, this is not expensive. If you want, you can pay me for these cell phones later.”
”Mm, thank you. I will pay you as soon as I can make money,” Said Kauana. She lost everything she had before, as her and Naiane's storage rings had been stolen.
