Chapter 1998: Honey, Listen To My Excuses...

“Who is it? It’s the middle of the night, and they’re here the moment we move in?” Irina commented in bewilderment.

“It might be the neighbor. Let me take a look.” Mag did not know who was at the door, but he did not feel any murderous intent or a powerful aura. That person was just an ordinary human being.

Mag opened the door, and a weak and delicate body fell into his embrace. She even wrapped her arms around his neck, and said coquettishly, “Mr… Hades, you’re so naughty. You opened the door suddenly to make me fall into your embrace. But I like it.”

The air in the tavern froze suddenly.

“Father. Dang…” Amy’s eyes widened, wondering if she still had to write today’s diary.

Mag looked at Eiffie, who was in his embrace, and his neck turned stiff. He could already feel the cold murderous intent from behind him.

“Honey, listen to my excuses…” Mag was about to go crazy. He quickly propped Eiffie up straight, and said, “Miss Eiffie, please watch your behavior.”

“Eiffie? Nickname?” Irina was already holding a stool in her hand.

“Aiyo, Mr. Hades, why are you behaving like that suddenly? Aren’t I here because you invited me over for an exchange…” Eiffie’s eyes were glassy, and she twisted around, wanting to pounce into Mag’s embrace again.

Mag quickly took two steps back.

Eiffie missed. She lifted her head up, and her flirtatious gaze happened to meet with the five pairs of eyes in the tavern.

An elegant woman, a cute little lolita, a beautiful young lady, a plump orange cat, and Hades, with a face of despair.

It was apparent that this was a family.

Eiffie was stunned for quite a while. Suddenly, she shuddered, and came back to her senses. She retracted her arms which were reached out, and almost stood in salute. She smiled awkwardly, and said, “Ahahaha… I am the owner of the tavern across the street. I came over specially to greet everyone. I’ve had a drop too much with the customers just now, so I’m a little drunk, and I almost fell. Thank goodness Mr. Hades helped me. Hi, everyone.”

“Maybe he wants to help you the entire night,” Irina said with a seeming smile. The air around seemed to have gotten a little colder.

This woman is not to be trifled with!?Eiffie glanced at Irina, who was grabbing a chair. She had seen many things, and the moment she felt the cold murderous intent, she felt the urge to run for her life.

“Have a good rest, then. It must be very tiring on your first day moving in. See you tomorrow.” Eiffie pretended that she did not understand what Irina was implying, and turned to leave, even closing the door behind her.

“Whew…” After leaving, Eiffie let out a long sigh of relief while leaning against the door. She stomped her feet, and felt utterly embarrassed. “Wasn’t he supposed to be an eligible bachelor?!”

Mag locked the door from the inside, and turned stiffly. He squeezed out a smile as he looked at Irina, and said, “This neighbor is rather friendly…”

“Yeah, there aren’t many neighbors who start hugging, using nicknames, and even invite the other over for an exchange,” Irina said with a smile.

The smile on Mag’s face stiffened gradually. He said guiltily, “It’s not what you think it is…”

“What do you think I think it is?” Irina asked with a smile.

“Er…” Mag felt terrible, and felt very wronged. He glanced at the two kids, and said, “Look, the children are still around.”

“Father, we’re going upstairs to play.” Amy and Annie cleared up, and left the adults with enough space.

“Now it’s just the two of us.” Irina raised the chair.

“I think we can talk things through nicely.” Mag swallowed.

Smack.

The chair landed on the floor, and Mag retracted his foot instinctively. He looked at the chair in front of him, and then at Irina, who had a seeming smile.

“Don’t be nervous. Take a seat, we’ll talk it through nicely.” Irina sat on her barstool as she looked down on Mag.

Mag sat upright and glanced at Irina, who was on the barstool. He felt as though he was interrogated.

“I actually don’t know her. We just met in the morning and exchanged greetings. She’s probably here to find trouble after seeing how talented I am,” Mag explained.

“Go on.” Irina wrapped her arms in front of her chest.

“You have no idea. It’s getting more and more dangerous for a man outside. There will always be women with bad intentions trying to prey on us and take advantage of us with whatever means they have. Although I’ve already tried my best to protect myself, sometimes, there are still some things I could not prevent,” Mag explained.

“Really?” Irina did not seem to believe it.

Mag was on the brink of tears. If he’d known, he would have subdued that demon the moment he opened the door, and there would not have been so much trouble.

“Oh, right, honey. I bought the entire street for you. From today onwards, not only are you the lady boss of this tavern, but you’re also the prettiest landlady of this entire street.” Mag suddenly thought of a very important matter. He stood up and took out a chest from behind the counter, and placed it on the bar counter with a loud thud. After that, he opened the chest to reveal the whole chest full of title deeds.

Usually, at this time, women would go: Hubby, you look so suave pulling that chest out.

However, Irina only glanced at the chest and squinted. After that, she asked Mag, “Where did you get the money from?”

Danger!?Mag thought to himself. After so much calculation, he forgot that the family finances had already landed in Irina’s hands. Right now, every single cent he spent would be considered his secret stash.

“If I said I found it… would you believe that?”

“Do you think I will believe that?”

“I just collected some payments a few days ago. It’s not much.”

“How much?”

“Just this much. Please keep it.” Mag dug out a mountain of gold from the empty space in the tavern.

“No more?”

“None.”

“Are you sure?”

“Not a single drop left…”

“Grandpa, we’ve already been walking around this mountain for two days, and we didn’t even see a single shadow. Are we walking in the wrong direction?” Noya, who was sitting at the steel eagle’s neck, said while munching on some dried goods.

“Judging from the weak reaction on the septaria oracle, there isn’t a mistake in the direction. It’s just that the trails are a bit messy, so it won’t be easy finding him,” Merante said calmly with his eyes closed. The septaria oracle that was suspended before him spun gently.

Just then, he opened his eyes, reached out, and grabbed a little talisman with two fingers.

“There’s news from Boss Mag?” Noah asked excitedly as he turned his head back.

“Let’s go to Rodu.” Merante glanced at the white talisman in the shape of a person. The talisman was quickly engulfed in a ball of neon green flame.

“Really?!” Noya’s eyes lit up. After staying in the mountains for two days, without eating well or staying warm, he was excited to finally be able to go to a big city like Rodu..
