Reborn Through Fire (Kisa and Gilbert) novel Chapter 1386

Chapter 1386 A Wasteland With No Light of Days

As Leon and Isaac heard about the mysterious mechanism that Mr. Mullen Sr. had just mentioned, their

eyes

widened in hesitation.

Isaac chimed in. “The contraptions on the other side of that archway…”

“Listen up boys,” Mr. Mullen Sr. warned, “as long as you don’t act like wild monkeys, those contraptions won’t even know you’re there. So, after you tuck Mrs. Kooper in for a little nap, you’d better not go snooping around out of curiosity.”

Leon and Isaac eagerly nodded their heads in agreement and took Kisa toward the right archway.

Kisa pretended to resist. “What are you doing? Where are you taking me? Let go of me… Let go! Ahh! There is a ghost inside. I won’t go in… I don’t want to go in, ahhh!” Kisa shrieked and struggled vehemently at the entrance of the right archway. The basement was deep, and the ceiling was tall. Kisa’s scream echoed in the grand hall and the echoes were even more haunting.

The women were on edge, picking up anything of value as they prepared to make a run for it. The basement was lavishly decorated with jewels, but they still could not shake the feeling of unease. Wandering around the grand hall was one thing but venturing to the other side of the archways was out of the question, so they thought they had better head upstairs and admire the flowers instead.

Arthur felt like there was nothing fun to do and grabbed his painting, heading up. As soon as he left, the women who picked the gems also followed suit.

Mrs. Mullen Sr. looked around and, with a sarcastic smile, said to Mr. Mullen Sr., “You built such a beautiful place, but you don’t let your family live here. People who don’t know any better might think you’re hiding a mistress here.”
