Long Lihua turned to the two, “I’ll bring you three to your rooms.” The three quickly followed after her.
“Sorry about my mother; she’s just a little aloof.”
“It’s fine. It would be weird that she wasn’t.” Keith laughed. Who wouldn’t be cautious of someone you just met? The group continued to walk before they were brought over.
“This will be your dwelling.”
“You’re giving us an entire house?” Keith blinked. What was before them was an entire courthouse.
“This is a guesthouse.” Long Lihua waved. Each one got their own room. Krystal and Carolyn were on the second, while Keith took one on the first floor. It was quite a nice room around here. That was when he entered the bed. So interesting.
It was those old-school beds that were made from hard materials. There was this cool and refreshing feeling as well. What did they make this bed out of? He was able to get used to it instantly. As he sat there, a thought occurred; what would happen next in these few days? Things were going to get dicey going forward.
As Keith continued staring at the ceiling, a knock was on his door.
“Keith, the meals are ready.”
“Understood,” Keith nodded as he headed to the dining room. He knelt down while Krystal and Carolyn did the same. That was when he noticed someone sitting beside Long Lihua.
“HaoHao, how about you greet them. They’re my classmate,” Long Lihua nudged the little boy. However, that only caused the boy to hold onto his sister’s clothes even more.
“Hao,” The boy mumbled.
“My name is Keith,” “Carolyn,” “Krystal.” The three greeted the boy. But he quickly hid behind her again and tried to be quiet. Long Lihua glanced at Keith, and he nodded.
“Let’s eat now,”
The amount of food that was brought out was something. There was rice, steamed fish, and some boiled greens. Most of them were blanched and also boiled. But it was definitely something Keith preferred.
“How delicious,” Carolyn muttered. This was the first time she had eaten something delicious that was not from Keith’s hand.
“How about we let him deal with it,” Long Xiaowen suggested. But that only caused Long Huizhong to frown, “Are you kidding me? Why are you letting a child do so?”
“Why are you so insistent on not having him do so?” Long Xiaowen retorted.
“Huh?”
“He obtained Cadmus’s guarantee. Not only that, it seemed both the girls trusted him as well. So why are you this adamant about him not being there?” hearing all this, the other elders tilted their heads at him as well. This was something odd about this.
“This is because this is all about our city’s life. If that kid botches it up, then we’re all screwed. It’s taking all of us together to contain it.” One of the reasons why they weren’t going out was because if they did, they were afraid of what those monsters would do. They could definitely level half of the city if they wanted. That was something he didn’t want to happen.
“I’m not letting half-pint like him ruin it.” Keith was definitely going to do so.
“Let’s take it to a vote then. Those in favor of having the child prove his worth?”
“And those not in favor?”
The vote was 4 to 2 in favor of Keith’s dealing with the situation.
“...” Long Huizhong frowned. However, nothing could be done since he had lost this vote.
