Chapter 221: A Storm in the Shadows
Watching Olive leave, Mio sat down again. With a casual wave of his hand, Araki quietly took his leave.
Lilith immediately moved to sit beside Mio, taking his arm and leaning in close. She wrinkled her nose and frowned slightly. "That woman definitely has thoughts about you, sir."
"Having thoughts about me just shows how strong I am," Mio said with a faint smile.
Hearing that, Lilith couldn't help but break into a smile and nodded in agreement. "That's true. She may be a noblewoman, and I don't like her, but she wasn't wrong. As long as you're given time, you'll definitely become someone unstoppable."
"You're right. I have full confidence in myself." Mio rubbed Lilith's head gently.
This affectionate display made Hawkeye, who was sitting across from them, twitch his lips. Without a word, he picked up a bottle of wine and downed it in one gulp. Then he stood up and walked away without looking back. "I'm going to rest."
Although he didn't really care, he still found the display a bit irritating.
Watching Hawkeye walk away, Mio smiled faintly and reached for his whiskey, preparing to continue drinking.
Just then, Warwick approached, holding a Den Den Mushi carefully in his large clawed hands. He respectfully handed it over. "Sir, a Den Den Mushi call."
"Who is it?" Mio asked, raising an eyebrow.
Warwick scratched his cheek with one claw and replied, "It's from Talos."
