Chapter 113 (2/2)

As they stepped through the door and switched the light on, Rollie was there to welcome them. Hao Ren grabbed and snugged it into his arm. Then his stomach growled. “I think I haven’t eaten anything since this morning.”

“Yeah, me too.” Vivian said as she glanced sideways at Lily. “All for the sake of the dumbbell. The irony is, she had got a six-course meal while being kidnapped.”

Lily gave a dry smile as she rubbed her tummy. “But I’m still hungry. I’d like a rib steak.”

“I’ll reheat the food.” Vivian sighed. “Could you give me a hand, landlord?”

Their lunch had been left untouched on the table. Hao Ren had faith in his cat that he hadn’t helped himself to their lunch. Rollie was an amazing cat. He was a stray, liked to steal food from the kitchen and tuck himself in his master’s bed to get warm. He would scratch everything he could lay his hands on, and he never caught mice. But one thing Hao Ren really liked about Rollie was that he would never jump onto the dinner table. There was a story behind this. When Rollie had just arrived at the house, he was wild and untamed—he still was, an a**hole cat. Back then Hao Ren was having his dinner, Rollie jumped up and helped himself to his food.

And it was a bowl of pepper soup. A steamy, hot one.

After the incident, Rollie was discharged from animal hospital and he recovered. But he had developed dinner-table-phobia since. He would stay away from the table like a plague.

“We’ve seen enough the true color of the demon hunters.” Hao Ren sighed as saying while he helped out Vivian in the kitchen. “They’re trouble-makers. Will there be more to come?”

He recalled what the two werewolves had said to him, and he knew the sudden disappearance of eight demon hunters at one go would definitely arouse suspicion from the other demon hunters. Though he wasn’t afraid of them, the influx of a bunch of psychos into the city felt like a pain in the a**.

“Let them. They won’t stay long.” Vivian sounded as though she wasn’t concerned. “They come and sniff around for a few days, they’ll leave if they find nothing. They wouldn’t have guessed it that we’re still here after the conflict.”

Hao Ren did not say a word. Suddenly he recalled in his mind the arcane servant who had come to their rescue, and his face was half smiling. “Speaking of which, Raven 12345 was no slouch. I had thought that she was sleeping on her job but in reality she knew the situation on the ground.”

Raven 12345 had been of great help by sending the arcane servant. If not for her, Hao Ren would have trouble wrap things up and clean the scene. He didn’t know what would happen to the captured demon hunters. What would Raven 12345 do to them? The thought of the psychotic goddess suddenly made Hao Ren pitying them, their fate would have been a lot better if they were beaten to death outright at the warehouse.”

Just when Hao Ren was trying to guess what the psychotic goddess would do next, the door bell suddenly rang.

Vivian and Hao Ren looked at each other before scurrying out to the living hall. Lily was staring nervously at the entrance. As everyone was still in alert mode after the battle with the demon hunters, a sudden ring of the door bell really hit their nerve.

Y’zaks was the least nervous. He was watching the TV while enjoying the melon seeds on the couch. He raised his head and looked at Hao Ren. “Landlord, someone’s at the door. Shouldn’t we answer it?”

“Calm down, everyone. I’ll take a look.” If it was really the demon hunters out there, they wouldn’t be so polite to ring the bell. He motioned Lily to sit down and Vivian to get back to the kitchen. He checked his armor to make sure it was fully charged. Then he took a deep breath and came to the door. “Coming, stop pressing the goddamn bell.”

As he opened the door, a girl who he had never seen was standing there.
