Chapter 174 - I Naturally Do Not Remember (1/2)

The next day, Hecathe was the first to wake up in the morning and as soon as he woke up, he immediately went to the kitchen and requested the landlady to pack three breakfasts which she agreed to.

He took the meat from the fridge and went up to feed the Dorgon who was patiently waiting for the food to be served.

”Master, why are you in such a hurry today?” The Dorgon asked as he looked at Hecathe curiously but Hecathe only smiled and gave him a vague reply.

”I have to go somewhere for work.”

The Dorgon was a bit confused as he heard this and he clearly wanted to ask a few more questions but before he could say or question anything, Hecathe was already out the door.

Hecathe first knocked on LeiLei's door and abruptly woke the girl up.

”Get ready! We are leaving in the next ten minutes,” He didn't even wait for the door to open as he announced.

Hecathe then continued to knock on Marvin's door and woke the boy up as well..

As expected, Marvin also didn't open the door at first and Hecathe had to somehow force the boy to come out.

”We have to leave. Get ready,” Hecathe sighed as he announced and the boy simply looked at him with disinterest clearly evident on his face.

”Why are you up so early?” Marvin whined as he yawned.

”Because only the early birds can catch the worms.”

”I'm not interested in catching worms,” Marvin dead-panned as he shut the door on Hecathe's face.

Hecathe took a sharp breath in and tried to remain calm as he patiently knocked on the door once again, ”Open up, Marvin. I might just break this door if you don't open it.”

Hecathe waited for a solid minute to see a reaction from the boy but when he got no response, he sighed as he got ready to kick the door open.

Somehow, Marvin seemed to have guessed this and opened the door at the exact moment.

”Give me five minutes,” Marvin sighed as he stated with much annoyance and Hecathe smiled in satisfaction as he heard this.

”I'll be waiting downstairs with a timer,” Hecathe replied as he didn't wait around and headed down the stairs.

Marvin felt tired as he slammed the door once again, but this time, he wasn't idly trying to go back to sleep, he was actually getting ready to head outside.

”You all going somewhere?” The landlady asked as she saw Hecathe being in such a hurry since morning.

It had been pretty awkward between Hecathe and this landlady after the last argument the two had and hence, it was a bit surprising to hear this question coming from her.

”We are going to visit LeiLei's old house,” Hecathe answered the woman with a warm smile as he acted normal.

It was better if the two ended the awkwardness between them and forgot about the conflict.

”She used to live nearby?” The woman asked as she raised her eyebrows and Hecathe nodded his head as he confirmed this.

The landlady looked to be confused as she saw this reaction and she couldn't help but comment, ”She doesn't look like it though.”

People from different places looked different and this was certainly the case for LeiLei as well.

Although the girl was from Ocasia, she really didn't look like one of the locals here. If anything, it looked like she had migrated here at a very young age.

”I guess you could say that,” Hecathe shrugged his shoulder as he muttered in response.

”Did her parents sell the old house?”

Hecathe gulped as he heard this question and although he didn't know the exact answer to it, he could still guess what had happened and he answered the woman according to what he had guessed.
