Chapter 175 - Good Morning~ (2/2)

”If there is anything else you'd like to warn me about, now is a perfect time,” Hecathe spoke with a sigh as he unwrapped the breakfast and took a bite out of the delicious chicken sandwich.

”I already warned you about everything though,” LeiLei spoke after thinking about it for a minute,

”You just need to worry about the traps and the illusions.”

”Alright then,” Hecathe muttered as he continued to eat nonchalantly.

Although LeiLei had warned him about how dangerous that house was, he didn't look to be all that worried, and this fearless demeanor clearly had a reason behind it.

The three quietly finished their breakfast and luckily enough, after they were done, they were already standing in front of that old house which was supposed to be extremely dangerous.

”So this was where you used to live?” Hecathe side-glanced at the girl as he asked with surprise and LeiLei simply nodded her head as she confirmed this.

”Wow~” Hecathe couldn't help but be a little amazed as he commented, ”You used to live a pretty wealthy life.”

Hecathe was certainly not kidding when he made this comment.

The house was old but calling it a house was certainly an understatement.

It would be much more suiting to call this place a mansion simply because it really was alike a mansion.

”Well, what's the use? It's not mine anymore,” LeiLei shrugged her shoulders as she responded with a sigh.

Hecathe pursed his lips into a thin line as he heard this but said nothing as he stood in his spot and looked on ahead, taking in the beauty of this old mansion.

Hecathe had already guessed that LeiLei's parents weren't ordinary folks, but now that he was standing here, looking at the place that they called home, this belief of his had strengthened.

There was absolutely no way that her parents were normal.

”Let's go inside,” LeiLei spoke as she took a step forward and tried to knock on the door, but she was suddenly stopped by Hecathe who pulled her back by her hand.

”Eh...?” LeiLei turned to look at Hecathe in confusion and a bit of surprise.

”Wait,” Hecathe spoke as he looked at the mansion.

Marvin frowned as he asked, ”What are we waiting for? An invitation?”

”That'll be stupid,” Hecathe clicked his tongue as he replied, ”If we use the main door, we are going to trigger the traps.”

”So you want us to sneak in from the window or something?” Marvin raised his eyebrows as he asked.

Hecathe let out a small chuckle as he heard this and shook his head as he explained, ”That would not be necessary. We don't really want a house tour. We just want to have a talk with the owner.”

Marvin's frown deepened as he heard this and the boy clearly had a hard time understanding what Hecathe wanted to say.

Hecathe took a few minutes to deeply think about something before he pointed up at a particular room in the mansion that was on the second floor which was also the highest floor.

”Hmm...?” Marvin hummed as he patiently waited for the man to talk.

”We go there,” Hecathe spoke with a small smirk.

”Why?” It was LeiLei who questioned with a frown as she looked at the man in confusion.

”Just find us a way to get there. You would know why I chose that place soon enough,” Hecathe responded and LeiLei felt even more confused as she heard this.

”A way to get up there?” LeiLei repeated as she looked up at the room, but before she could say or do anything more, Marvin clicked his tongue as he took out the double-bladed saber.

”Would you mind it if I broke the ceiling a bit?” Marvin asked as he spun the weapon.

”You're free to do whatever suits your taste,” Hecathe answered with a small smile, ”But get it fixed afterward. We wouldn't want to offend the owner.”

”Got it,” Marvin nodded his head in understanding as he threw the sword towards the room with a speed that could almost beat even a race car.

The mere speed combined with the power used managed to crack the wall of the room completely and the sword returned back to the owner like an obedient boomerang.

LeiLei's eyes widened in horror and all she could do was gulp as she saw the sight of her old room being destroyed within just a mere few seconds.

Hecathe clapped his hands as he saw the man sitting on a chair inside the room.

His face couldn't be clearly seen because of the shadows, but Hecathe was still able to tell that the man looked to be completely calm and didn't even flinch as he watched the wall being shattered into bits.
