As Rain thought about it, she walked into the bedroom. She closed the door and joined the men's conversation.
The three kids went upstairs to rest.
Aunt Neile and Luca stayed downstairs to clean up. They divided the tasks and worked quickly.
Suddenly, Aunt Neile asked, "Ms. Craw, what are they busy with? I heard it's something important. Is it related to T Corporation?"
"I don't know either." Luca shook her head. After glancing at Aunt Neile, she looked away.
"Mr. Crawford usually doesn't discuss work at home. This is rare," Aunt Neile explained her curiosity as it was unusual for Luke to work at home.
They had been talking all morning, and their discussion continued into the afternoon, which surprised Aunt Neile.
Luca did not offer any further explanation. She washed her hands. Thinking that the people upstairs had already finished their coffee by now, she decided to make another pot.
"Aunt Neile, I’ll leave these for you to wash. I'll make them some more coffee," said Luca.
"Okay, Ms. Craw." Aunt Neile took over the dishwashing.
After Luca quickly made a pot of coffee, she noticed that Aunt Neile was nearly done with the dishes. She said, "Aunt Neile, take a nap later. Even though they're busy, there's nothing for you to do right now."
She knew Aunt Neile had a habit of taking a nap in the afternoon, but with guests in the house, Aunt Neile might skip it unless she mentioned it.
Luca understood that people accustomed to naps would feel sluggish all afternoon if they missed it, so she reminded her.
Aunt Neile smiled and nodded. "Okay, Ms. Craw."
Luca carried the coffee upstairs.
After Aunt Neile cleaned up the dining table, she glanced upstairs. She did not say or do anything. She just went back to the maid's room to rest.
After delivering the coffee, Luca went back to the master bedroom.
She planned to rest for a while before heading back to the study to study the medicinal herbs.
As for dinner, she had already marinated the meat yesterday, so it would be ready to cook later.
Luca lay down on the bed, thinking about her plans for the afternoon. She soon drifted off to sleep.
…
At X City, Amur pushed open the door of the base.
Normally, it would take over four hours to reach X City, but Amur drove fast and arrived in just three hours.
His sudden entrance startled the people inside, who grabbed whatever tools they could find.
When they noticed that it was Amur, they let their guard down. One of them complained, "I know you're the boss' favorite, but can't you knock?"
Amur could not be bothered to argue with him. He asked, "Is Gerald here?"
Before he came here, he learned that Gerald had been badly injured by people from the Island of Despair a few days ago. However, Shanks had treated him, so he should still be in the X City base.
"He's on the second floor." The man pointed upstairs.
Amur carried his bag up to the second floor.
The man saw how arrogant Amur was, spat disdainfully, and said to his companion, "Look at him. He’s acting like we owe him a fortune. Ugh, so what if he’s got some skills? Does he have to act so cocky?"
“Yeah, he’s so full of himself. He's bound to get beaten up one day,” added another man. Amur had not even bothered to knock before barging in, and it startled them.
They were not worried about someone causing trouble, but the fear of the police showing up was real.
This was X City, not their home base on the Island of Despair.
