Chapter 164: New Home
Grace opened her mouth, then paused. To her own horror, her brain actually conjured the mental image and she couldn’t help but understand where he was coming from. If she were a man, she wouldn’t want it either.
’I truly am speaking with Vespera’s son... Only they have the gall to say such insane lines in front of high-ranking officials... Though I can’t help but notice that her son is much more of a lustful person... or perhaps a romantic? Vespera doesn’t seem to care about fleeting things such as love...’
"...Understood," she finally said. "We may have alternative agents more suited to... this particular arrangement. I’ll send them to your new home. Until then, please make do with Agent Hugh and Oren."
"Appreciate it and will do," Kaiden replied with a relaxed nod as if they’d just agreed on what pizza toppings to order.
Nyx, Aria, and Luna sighed in synchronized disbelief.
Bastet, on the other hand, purred with great pride while staring at Kaiden. The Ra-Blessed Felinid had felt how strong these three people were, and she knew perfectly well they would get murdered should conflict occur. Despite this, her master spoke to them as if they were his lowly servants. Just how amazing was he?!
The journey to their new home didn’t take long, though the transport used was anything but ordinary. Grace had arranged for a mana-shrouded vehicle. It was smooth, silent, and virtually undetectable. No license plates, no visible branding, no emissions. It had a faint spatial distortion around it, blending subtly into the road like a ripple in reality.
Kaiden sat near the back with his girls beside him, arms casually draped behind Nyx and Aria. Luna sat across from them, and she was busy fiddling with the security terminal’s interface, trying to crack how it jammed all incoming signals while keeping navigation online.
All these high-tier tech and artifacts made the gamer girl in her come out, letting the Moon and Space Valkyries enjoy their Paragon of Sin’s company without having to listen to her huffs and puffs. Bastet, for her part, lounged like royalty across their laps. The tanned feline greatly enjoyed their current seating accommodations.
"Where exactly are we headed?" Kaiden asked, glancing at Grace, who’d opted to ride with them.
