Chapter 119: Basement Floor
Chapter 119: Basement Floor
After a long day, both of them were exhausted. They leaned against the car window and did not say a word.
The scenery outside the window flowed quickly. Half an hour later, the car stopped steadily at the entrance of the Torres Mansion.
When Lauren and Quinn entered the Torres Mansion at the same time, Franklin, who was walking down the stairs from the second floor, was surprised.
He had just finished working overtime in the study and had come downstairs to check if Lauren was back.
“Why did the two of you come back together? This is truly a rare sight,” Franklin said as he walked up to the two of them.
Mr. Hayes also came over from the living room when he heard their voices.
Lauren was feeling puzzled.
“Franklin, didn’t you say that I had to come back together with Quinn?”
After not seeing Franklin for a day, Lauren immediately clung onto Franklin and reached out to hug him when she saw him.
Franklin shook his head, indicating that he had not said such a thing.
They both turned and looked at Quinn.
Quinn scratched his head, looking as innocent as he could be.
“You didn’t say that? Then maybe I remembered wrongly. Anyway, I’ll go upstairs first.” He then put on his slippers and went upstairs.
Lauren looked at Quinn’s back with a strange expression. She did not know what was going on with Quinn.
On the other hand, Franklin could see something from Quinn’s expression.
Quinn’s current behavior was exactly the same when he first got along with Lauren.
Quinn obviously wanted to care for Lauren, but he was unwilling to say it out loud.
“It’s okay, don’t worry about him. He…”
He would soon be convinced by Lauren.
“Why are the two of you together today?” Franklin asked.
Lauren briefly explained the reason to Franklin, and Franklin did not ask any more questions. He only told Lauren to be more careful when she went out to play.
He now knew more about Lauren. Lauren might be young, but she knew what to do.
For example, she informed Franklin early in the morning before she went out today. Otherwise, Franklin would not be so relieved.
Before going to bed, Lauren summoned George from the soul storage device.
Lauren would give George and the rest of ghosts two hours of free time everyday. During this time, they would go to the same old place to see if anyone had left them a mission.
“There’s no mission today either. Speaking of which, it’s been five or six days since the last mission. There was never such a long gap before.”
After putting George back into the soul storage device, she sighed and lay on the bed with her legs stretched out.
“System Divine Nine, when is the deadline of this mission?”
Lauren had nothing to do for the past two days. System Divine Nine had also rested for quite a while. It had even gone to look for Divine Three in the neighboring country to play for the whole afternoon.
[System Divine Nine: Host, this mission has to be completed in 12 days.]
The anxiety of not being able to complete the mission caused Lauren to have nightmares for the entire night.
To others, having nightmares might be like having a dream about ghosts, but to Lauren, her nightmares were like having no meat to eat.
So, when Lauren woke up early in the morning, she immediately asked Mr. Hayes to make a few more meat dishes for her for lunch.
On the other hand, while Lauren’s plan had come to a halt, Quinn’s plan was going on smoothly.
He arrived at the parking lot of Golden Star Agency according to the time given by Obmar. Then, he waited for Obmar at the entrance he had designated.
Obmar soon appeared. He was wearing a black jacket and black pants, as well as a cap.
At first glance, he looked like he was going to rob a bank.
Quinn looked at the half-sleeved t-shirt and cropped pants he was wearing. He felt out of place.
“You’re here? You’re quite punctual. Follow me now, but you have to hide behind that door later and don’t speak. Pauline wanted me to come alone, so don’t let her find out.”
Obmar repeatedly instructed.
Quinn nodded and promised repeatedly.
“No problem, don’t worry.”
Obmar pulled down his cap and led Quinn to a parking area that he had never been to before.
This parking area was very remote and far from the entrance. Most people wouldn’t park their car so far from the entrance.
Quinn followed Obmar’s footsteps and looked around. He did not see any door that could lead to the basement.
When they reached a corner, there was a wooden board on the floor. The board looked very ordinary.
However, Obmar squatted down and moved the board away.
