After listening to what she said, Alvin quickly asked, “And then? What happened next?”

But this time, Aurelia did not answer.

Alvin did not ask further as he knew that some of the things might not turn out well if he asked persistently.

As the car was running on the road, the surrounding became more and more empty. Traces of humans were getting very rare here. They could even see some rabbits and deer. Alvin was very curious seeing this.

As a person who had lived in the cracks of the city since he was young, he did not have many opportunities to experience the natural landscape.

However, Aurelia did not show much surprise. She glanced at it and said, “This is not something unusual. In a few years, these animals will be everywhere.”

Alvin knew that she was referring to the time after the end of the world when large areas of land would be occupied by these animals if no humans stepped in.

They only arrived at their destination in the afternoon.

Looking from afar, Alvin saw a villa standing in the wilderness.

There were no other buildings around.

Alvin felt very strange and complained in his heart. “The taste of the rich was indeed unique.”

This villa was built so far away from the city. It was probably very inconvenient in all aspects?

Putting everything else aside, it would probably be a long distance to buy a cup of coffee.

With this thought in mind, as they were getting closer and closer, Alvin realized that he was completely wrong.

This villa was far away from the city, but it wouldn’t be inconvenient in any way.

As the villa itself was a small city.

It was an ancient-style building. Using modern and luxurious materials, it was built like a medieval noble’s castle.

The gear-like uneven outer wall was used by archers to guard the city in the Middle Ages.

It also played a corresponding role in this villa, as Alvin saw a heavy machine gun on the city wall.

This thing was either not used, or if it was, it would be big news.

But the heavy machine gun was still maintained as if it was new. Its pitch-black and shiny body would make people shudder.

The towering steeple was originally used by people on duty in the Middle Ages, but now it served as a signal tower. A receiver was built on top and the wires were hidden in the cracks of the bricks.

As for the coffee problem that Alvin was worried about just now, he realized that he had been overthinking it.

When he was about 100 meters away from the villa, Alvin could smell a faint aroma of coffee beans. He was very sensitive to the smell of coffee, and he was sure that he did not smell it wrongly, at least in terms of price. A drop of what was brewing in the villa might be worth a cup of his usual coffee.

Maybe this was really a small self-sufficient city.

Alvin thought to himself.

As the car approached the entrance of the villa, Alvin saw a few security guards with guns approaching.

“What does it mean? Didn’t you make an arrangement with them?” Alvin asked.

“Arrangement?” Aurelia shrugged. “This car belongs to their young lady. What’s there to arrange?”

The security guard came closer and gently knocked on the window.

Usually, when a car tried to approach the villa, their standard procedure was to give a warning without saying anything.

But this time, they could recognize that this car belonged to their young lady. Thus they allowed it to come closer, then only they checked it.

Aurelia rolled down the window impatiently and cursed, “Are you new here? Can’t you recognize your Miss Camilla’s car?”
