Chapter 2 Returning Home

The car pulls out of the underground tunnel and into the bustling downtown area.

After a while, it stopped at the door of a certain high-rise building.

"We're here!" Nora said as she opened the door and led everyone out of the RV.

The attendant standing at the door immediately rushed over to fetch the luggage for the guests, but the driver quickly shook his head imperceptibly.

The attendant immediately retreated to his place and bowed slightly towards Nora, who was approaching him.

Walking into the hall, a sturdy old man in a suit and leather shoes stepped forward, his white hair was meticulously combed, and the arc of his bow was just right, which seemed to be similar to the profession of a high-end housekeeper.

"Miss." He bowed and said.

"Arrange it." Nora said.

"Yes." The old man who was the butler left immediately.

"Nola, are you going to live here?" Mi'er took her hand and couldn't help but look around, "It looks like a super high-end apartment!" ”

It's just that there is less cover, and if there is an enemy attack, this hall is not very well defended...... Mi'er thought subconsciously.

"It's okay." Nora touched her head and said with a smile.

Then she looked around her. The furnishings of the hall are similar to the ones she had had done when she ran away from home at the beginning of last year, with no changes, apparently in case she would not be comfortable when she suddenly returned one day.

Still, it's a bit weird...... The space is empty, and if an enemy attacks from the outside, it will be difficult to defend.

"Maxinus?" Nora shouted.

"Miss?" The old man who had just left the housekeeper didn't know where he came out again.

"How's the building's security now?" Nora asked with concern.

"The 'Golden Skull' is on duty 24 hours a day in the security room next to it." The old housekeeper didn't understand why the young lady had just come back from outside and began to care about security, but ......

Of course, he understood what the young lady meant, and said, "Are you going to do a relayout?" ”

"I think the front door is empty." "It's not good to walk in and have an unobstructed view. Can you make some bulletproof glass screens? ”

"It's better to have a side firing port." Mi'er interjected.

"Okay, I'll go and set it up." The butler replied immediately.

After saying that, the old butler walked away briskly again.

"Nola, what floor is your house on?" Mia pressed the elevator button in front of her and asked back.

"Uh, let's go to the 36th floor first." Nora laughed.

In fact, this "Licinius Building" is her family's property.

The elevator opened, and everyone poured into the elevator. The two little girls, Mia and Mier, were especially excited, while the other girls remained silent, as if digesting the information they had absorbed along the way.

Soon the elevator reached the 36th floor.

The crowd walked out of the floor, and then they saw the entire floor...... It's all through.

Directly in front of it is a row of nearly 100-meter-long floor-to-ceiling windows and corridors with an indoor swimming pool and a botanical promenade with a variety of flowers, as well as a semi-open bar and wine cooler.

"Wow!" Before Nora could stop her, Mia and Mia rushed to the edge of the pool and reached out to paddle the water inside.

"Can I swim?" The two little ones turned their heads excitedly.

"Absolutely. If I had to change into a swimsuit, I would have my childhood clothes in the cloakroom. ”

Nora took Mia and Mia to the next room.

"So, let's sit down as you like." Asker said this, and sat down in a rocking chair next to the botanical promenade.

Pushing open the door next to her, Mia and Mi'er couldn't help but say "wow" again...... They have been amazed today more than they have in the past few months.

However this cloakroom...... It is not so much a cloakroom as a retrograde corridor of countless wardrobes, almost like a labyrinth of Minotaurs.

Mia and Mi'er chased and fought in the labyrinth, while Nora rummaged for a moment and asked:

"Vesta, where's my swimsuit from junior high school?"

"In the closet of G-3, Miss Norla." A clear female voice rang out from the speakers in the room.

So Nora went to the closet at the end of the cloister and opened the door, which contained nearly 100 student swimsuits of various styles.

"Mia, Mi'er!" She turned around and called, "Come and pick your favorite style." ”

When the two little girls were dressed and led out by Nola, they saw Sheila and Eleanor watching a movie outside wearing VR headsets, and Sidlifa and Medea sitting in front of the semi-open bar drinking whiskey.

Asker was lying in a rocking chair next to the plant promenade, already sleeping comfortably, while Peggy stood obediently behind him, pushing the rocking chair back and forth rhythmically.

Mia and Mi Er cheered and jumped into the pool, splashing onto the marble floor.

Medea next to the bar waved at her and smiled:

"Would you like a drink?"

"Okay." Nora smiled.

She opened the door of the wine cabinet next to her, took out a bottle from inside, and motioned to ask, "Sparkling wine?" ”

"Whatever you want." Medea laughed.

"Do you drink too?" Watching Nora pour a cup for the two of them, Sidlifa asked in surprise, "Nola, I thought you were the type of good girl at home. ”

"The two are not in conflict." Nora replied, "In our family, wine tasting was one of the lessons I took when I was a child, mainly to have something to talk about when I was socializing with others. ”

"Understandable." Medea put one hand on her cheek and said with a smile, "Just like we have to recite scriptures over there, it is also to establish common interests in the social circle." ”

"Apostate?" Nora suddenly reacted, "Medea, your doctrine over there is abstaining from alcohol, right?" ”

"yes." Medea raised her glass and took a sip, "That's why it's interesting to break the precepts." ”

Nola: ..................

"By the way, you've noticed Eleanor's condition too, right?" Shaking the glass nonchalantly, Medea whispered.

"You mean ......," Nora asked cautiously.

"Her relationship with Asker has been brought closer." Medea took a sip again, "Although I can't read minds, there are some things that can be seen from subtle facial expressions, and they should be the result of that rescue." Maybe something happened between them. ”

"If that's the case, Ellie will definitely tell me." Nora said firmly.

"Oh, Nola." Medea snorted coldly, "Don't forget that in the face of love, even if it is a lifelong best friend, I'm afraid it may not be ......"

"Eh, I think you've changed a bit." Seeing that Nora looked a little uncertain, Sidlifa suddenly interrupted Medea, "You have been talking less and less lately. ”

"yes." Nora also chimed in, "People also feel like they are a lot more gloomy, is it because of the fusion of blood? ”

"Sort of." Medea drank the wine in her glass in one gulp and put it down, "It's just that I suddenly understood a lot of truth." ”

"For example?" Sidlifa asked.

"For example, a person who pretends to be asleep will never wake up." Medea's eyes looked at Aske in the rocking chair opposite, and narrowed her eyes slightly, "Unless ......"

"Unless what?" Nora asked.

"Another drink?" Medea smiled without saying a word, and raised her glass again.
