Chapter 96: The Glowing Box
Chapter 96: The Glowing Box
Lauren had already sat down and started ordering with Ben. Franklin was even wiping the table and chair with a tissue in his hand.
As he wiped, he muttered, “There are oil stains here, and there are also oil stains there…”
After ordering more than a dozen ingredients for the barbecue, Lauren handed the menu in her hand to Franklin.
“Franklin, see if there’s anything else you want to eat!”
Franklin waved his hand and pointed at Quinn.
“Quinn, didn’t you say you were hungry? Let’s see what you want to eat.”
There was still no reaction.
Just as Lauren was about to take back the menu, Quinn suddenly spoke, giving everyone a shock.
“You guys still have the mood to eat! What were you guys doing just now?!”
Quinn turned his body to Franklin, who was sitting on his right.
“Franklin! You’re a grown up and the CEO of a company. Why are you still playing with them?!”
So Quinn thought they were…playing just now?
“We’re not playing!” Lauren retorted angrily.
“If you’re not playing, then what are you doing? You’re holding a pile of talisman papers and pasting them everywhere. Also, how much did you pay for that small box that glows?”
It was only then that Lauren suddenly realized that Quinn’s heavenly eyes were not activated. From his point of view, the three of them were just playing around!
For a moment, Lauren did not know if she should tell Quinn the truth.
However, in order to avoid further misunderstandings between Quinn and Lauren, Franklin told Quinn about the case of Lily’s disappearance. He also told him everything about the ghost hunt just now.
“So…Franklin, you saw a ghost just now?”
Franklin nodded.
“Okay, I got it.”
Quinn accepted it so quickly? This was beyond everyone’s expectations.
Since Quinn also knew about these things, they did not need to be secretive anymore and went on to discuss the other missing cases.
“What do you plan to do after you catch those little ghosts?” After wiping the table, Franklin began to wash the bowls and chopsticks with boiling water.
The soul storage device in the pocket dimension was still shaking non-stop. Lauren stretched out her hand and patted it, signaling for them to calm down.
“The ghosts I put in are all related to the missing cases in the past two years. Since they have committed such a collective crime, there must be a ‘mastermind’ manipulating them. I should be able to interrogate them properly.”
“Miss Torres, are those missing kids really still alive? Those who went missing recently might still be alive, but where could those children who went missing two years ago go? There’s no lead about them at all in the past two years. A living person can’t just disappear for no reason, right?”
Lauren thought about this for a long time but still couldn’t figure it out. Why did this ‘mastermind’ need so many children? However, the aura cane wouldn’t make a mistake. They were indeed still alive.
“They are indeed still alive, but…”
Franklin asked, “But what?”
Lauren suddenly thought of some other possibilities.
“When we say that a person lives in the world, we mean that one can feel his aura. However, there are many forms of living.”
Ben was a little dumbfounded. “Many forms? For example?”
Lauren shook her head and pushed those possibilities to the back of her mind. Coincidentally, the grilled food was served.
At Lauren’s request, more cumin and chili were added.
“Wow, this grilled squid looks so delicious! Feel free to eat, everyone! I am treating today. Thank you for your help tonight!”
After she finished speaking, she picked up two roasted chicken legs and placed one on each of Ben’s and Franklin’s plates.
Quinn was speechless.
“Where’s mine? I came out specially to eat meat!”
Lauren rolled her eyes. “I gave you the menu and you’re zoning out!”
“I’m not zoning out! I’m in shock!”
Quinn’s image had completely collapsed in Lauren’s mind.
She had initially thought that he was a good-looking idol, but in the end, he was a cowardly idiot!
Quinn stood up in a huff and went to add more dishes.
Franklin carefully took a bite of the drumstick to prevent the oil from getting on his face or clothes.
It was quite delicious. He finished eating the entire drumstick carefully and with relish before he spoke up for his younger brother.
“Don’t bully Quinn all the time. He’s tough on the outside, but soft-hearted on the inside”
Lauren did not care about her image as much as Franklin did. Her entire mouth was filled with oil. Franklin could not stand it and took a tissue to wipe her mouth.
Lauren pouted and let Franklin manage her image.
“Hmph, he bullied me first. I’m only giving him a taste of his own medicine.”
“Franklin, this leek is also very delicious!”
“Leek…”
“Don’t worry, there won’t be any smell!”
