207 JAXONS ARRIVAL (2/2)

She looked at the pod. Her gaze was probably full of curiosity, because he said next;

”Any food put in here would retain the temperature you set it to. That means an ice cream wouldn't melt and a hot soup would stay warm.”

”I see.” What a convenient magical tool.

She never really thought of making appliances before. Maybe she should create a new department in Silver Corporation that mainly focused on that. His company's revenue would definitely increase. Should she talk to Finn after all this was over?

”Please eat first then rest a bit before you proceed on doing any activities. It won't be good if you collapsed due to hunger and fatigue.”

Argent stared at Lei Feng and saw the genuine worry in his eyes. Because of that, she couldn't bear to refuse him.

”I'll eat but I can't rest just yet.” She took the thermal pod from Lei Feng then walked back inside the room. She placed it on top of her work table. ”How do I open this?”

Lei Feng walked towards the table and opened the thermal pod. The delicious scent of porridge filled the room. The smell caused Argent's stomach to constrict, a sign that she was indeed hungry.

”How come you can't rest?” he asked.

She turned to him. He was looking at her earnestly. He didn't even bother giving a curious glance to the items that were scattered around the room. That somehow brought amusement and admiration to her. Because wouldn't that mean that in Lei Feng's eyes her well-being was more important than her inventions?

If this was any other person, that would definitely be not the case. She wondered why she seemed to be very important to him. Even she who could barely understand these kinds of emotions could see that Lei Feng was treating her differently. Almost as if she was someone very special.

But she didn't have time to ponder over that now and she didn't really want to interrogate Lei Feng about it. It's his personal feelings, she didn't want to pry on it. It's enough to know that he didn't hold any negative feelings for her.

Argent took the bowl of porridge, scooped a spoonful and ate it. Delicious as always. The taste was exactly as she liked it. She raised her head and answered Lei Feng's question.

”Because a guest is coming.”

A carriage being pulled by four gryphons flew inside the opening made by the stealth shield covering the island. It entered the island and slowly landed on a clear path.

Jaxon opened his eyes. Those emerald green depths were filled with determination. It's time. He would finally meet him – the boy named Janea.

He took a deep breath and walked out of the carriage.
