Chapter 293: Monkey
Orion and Edgar stepped out of Limitless Haven, the soft golden sunlight washing gently over their figures as they emerged onto the bustling streets of the Central Market District.
The energetic sounds of vendors enthusiastically calling out their goods, along with the lively chatter of merchants and customers haggling, once again enveloped them.
The two made their way through the vibrant marketplace, calmly navigating between the crowded stalls. Edgar moved steadily at Orion’s side, his watchful eyes constantly scanning their surroundings with vigilance.
Soon enough, they approached their obsidian-black carriage, elegantly parked near the market’s entrance.
However, Orion’s steps abruptly slowed, his eyebrows lifting slightly in bemusement at the scene before him. Lucan lay sprawled lazily across the driver’s seat, eyes shut, mouth slightly agape, snoring softly.
Edgar sighed softly, shaking his head in mild exasperation. "This brat never changes," he muttered quietly.
Orion chuckled gently, approaching the carriage. He reached out, lightly tapping Lucan’s shoulder. "Brother Lucan, wake up. We’re heading back."
Lucan jolted awake instantly, eyes blinking rapidly in confusion before settling on Orion’s calm yet amused face.
Immediately, he grinned sheepishly, quickly sitting upright and grabbing the reins. "Oh, Young Master! You’re finally back? I was... just resting my eyes a bit."
Orion’s lips curved into a knowing smirk, not bothering to point out Lucan’s earlier dramatic antics. "Of course, you were."
Edgar lightly shook his head, suppressing a small smile as he boarded the carriage first, followed by Orion, who stepped gracefully into the luxurious compartment.
Lucan swiftly composed himself, shaking the reins gently and guiding the carriage smoothly back onto the main street toward Helstorm Mansion.
