Chapter 292: The Slacker Magi Turned Out to be a Magician?!?
Orion made his way smoothly through the establishment, ascending toward the third floor without any obstruction, as his employees discreetly nodded or bowed in quiet acknowledgment as he passed by.
Reaching the third floor, Orion gently opened the elaborately decorated wooden door, stepping calmly inside before heading towards the room at the far back.
The lavish room contained shelves lined with old paintings, fine furniture, and a polished desk positioned centrally.
Seated comfortably behind the desk, Magi lounged leisurely with his white rabbit perched on his shoulder, inspecting documents spread messily across the surface, a half-filled glass of alcohol within easy reach.
At the sound of Orion’s arrival, Magi raised his head sharply, his eyes widening with surprise as he saw who had come. "Orion! You finally woke up."
He quickly rose from his seat and approached Orion while looking him up and down at his changed features. "Though I must say, you have changed a lot now, nearly as handsome as me."
Orion’s lips twitched hearing him shamelessly praising himself.
[Let him wear the maid dress, Master!!! (๑˃ᴗ˂)ﻭ]
He inwardly exhaled, "Yes, it’s been a few days since I woke up. I’ve been recuperating back inside my home."
Magi heaved a heavy sigh, his usually carefree face turning serious as he recalled the events from eight months prior. "The events of that day were truly intense, Orion. To think you ended up so severely injured fighting off that high-ranked kidnapper... I honestly didn’t expect you to recover in just eight months. From the way Lord Eldric and Lady Selene described your injuries, I feared you’d need several years to recuperate fully."
Orion nodded slowly, his expression turning subtly somber. "Indeed, I’m still not fully recovered. What you’ve seen today is mostly due to the evolution I underwent recently. It allowed me to regain consciousness, though my injuries aren’t entirely healed yet."
Magi immediately fell silent at Orion’s admission. Despite his easygoing personality and bold behavior, he knew better than to pry deeper into Orion’s mysterious draconic lineage.
