Chapter 452 Underground Passage
Shortly after that, North managed to master the skills and command effectively. Not only that, but they even managed to capture a good number of the giant balls. As a string was attached to each of the balls, the edge of their boat was full of strings attached to it not long after.
Two hours later, the three of them returned to land fruitfully. After getting on land, Eugene took them to collect the gifts. At this point, Olivia said, “I’m a little thirsty. Let me go buy some water.”
Eugene stopped her as he was afraid that she would get lost. He charged, “Let me go and get it. You’ll collect the gifts here with North. Don’t go anywhere; I’ll be back as soon as possible.”
After giving it some thought, Olivia responded, “Sure.” Subsequently, Eugene left while the number of people in line was longer than she expected. Seeing the number of people waiting in line before her, Olivia felt like giving up. “North, do you still want the gifts?”
North looked at her, feeling befuddled. “Why not?”
“There are so many people here. I’m afraid it may take a while.”
Meanwhile, North’s brows furrowed into a narrow frown. “It took us so much effort to catch those balls. Why don’t we want the gifts even before I know what they are!”
Olivia agreed with him. This was human nature: what mattered to people was not the price of the gifts, but the surprise that came with them.
Perhaps people would stop wanting the gifts the moment they found out what they were.
“Sure. Let’s keep waiting then.
The moment she finished, a man in a suit walked past them and saw them by chance. “Are you guys here to collect gifts as well?”
Olivia nodded.
Then, that man stopped in his tracks and sized her up before letting out a smile. “How long is this going to take? Why don’t you come with me as I know the owner of this business well. I can bring you through another way.”
The first thought that crossed Olivia’s mind was to go with him as her patience had indeed run thin. She reckoned that she had never wasted her time in this way before.
However, on second thought, why was this man willing to help them for no reason?
