435 Looking Down (1/2)

As Han Chu had left Anthony for so long, Cedrick's expression changed from 'we've been expecting you' to 'you're finally here' when he arrived with Ye Shuang.

Their initial trump card had worn out completely since their opponent had handled it calmly by not seeing themselves for half a month. Cedrick panicked a little, seeing that the duo that he had been expecting really had appeared before him. To be honest, he had been about to give up on threatening the hostage. He had just been wondering if he should change the plan by digging some other value out of Anthony.

Anthony was like a big dog that had been left out on the street. His eyes lit up when he saw the two familiar people at the door. He wagged his non-existent tail and ran to them happily. He complained while feeling wronged, ”You guys are finally here!”

If he had not been communicating with Ol' K on the internet, Anthony would really have thought that he was being abandoned.

Han Chu walked in calmly. ”Yeah, we thought we would take a look around.”

He then nodded at Cedrick and observed him from head to toe. He smirked and revealed a pleased expression. ”Seems like you're doing well here. Having a great time with mommy‽”

Han Chu had poked Cedrick as soon as he came. Was he trying to start a fight?

Ye Shuang smiled to give her boss face while dragging a wronged golden retriever who refused to get up behind her. ”She's his family that he's sought for so many years after all. Didn't Cedrick joined the field to look for his mother back then? Wait, that's not right. He was looking for his sister, wasn't he? No matter what, he's quite the family man.”

Calm down, I have to calm down! Cedrick took a breath in secret with his eyes closed, and he became a gentleman again when he opened his eyes. ”Would the two of you like to speak to Madam Grace? I've gotten someone to report to her. I suppose you guys will see her in ten minutes.”

Ten minutes?

Not only was the report efficient, it seemed like the person who reported was quick to return.

”Since we're here, we won't leave until we've met the host.” Han Chu looked at Cedrick with a hint of disdain. ”Don't worry, we won't run away.”

”Hehe, I've never thought of that.”

Cedrick just laughed it off. After confirming that Han Chu and Ye Shuang would stay to meet Madam Grace, he took the duo and Anthony who had been tied up to the guest room.

He served them tea and snacks while chatting with them, and the ten minutes soon passed.

Naturally, all of them present would not take the time too seriously. They would be petty if they really waited for only ten minutes. Therefore, they proceeded to chat, ignoring the fact that they had been waiting for ten minutes.

When half an hour had passed…

”Is Madam Grace busy today?” Finally, Han Chu could not wait any longer after drinking two cups of coffee. He thought that he would excuse himself after checking the time. ”Maybe we should come another time.”

In reality, Cedrick was a little concerned. Han Chu and Ye Shuang were the big fish that they had been waiting for. It was impossible that Madam Grace would postpone her arrival as a threat. Or rather, although he had no idea why the duo had come, if Madam Grace showed up late, not only would it not bother the duo, it might be what they wanted. After all, nobody was willing to deal with the black widow.

Cedrick had been trying to compose himself while buying time when they chatted earlier. He was trying to prevent the duo from noticing anything off while dragging the two locals to help if something went wrong.
