Chapter 77: Two Lopez
Godwin’s words sounded like a question, but his tone was about the same as “please get out of the way”. Nemo really didn’t have any reason to block him at the door, so he turned his head and glanced at Oliver, who was trying to focus all his attention on the doughnut. He could only give up passage with an apologetic mood.
Godwin walked into the house without squinting. When passing by the tea table, he glanced at Oliver holding the doughnut, the corners of his mouth twitched slightly, and then he looked away.
“Ms. Nadine.” He nodded to the old woman in the rocking chair, and seemed to have decided to ignore Oliver, who was almost choked to death by the doughnut. “I’m Godwin Lopez, the head of the Horizon Mercenary Group. If it is convenient now, I want to talk to you.”
“…You didn’t come to see a doctor, did you?” The old woman took out her glasses with trembling hands and put them on with difficulty. She was stunned for a few seconds and turned her face to Oliver. Oliver was still struggling to deal with the doughnut that was stuck in his throat. She didn’t tangle with the two faces that were too similar for long, as her focus was elsewhere.
“Lopez,” she whispered. The gentleness in the voice completely disappeared, replaced by a dry and emotionless flat tone. “What are you looking for me for, Mr. Lopez?”
“Your illusion is quite powerful.” Nemo poured a glass of water and handed it to Oliver, who was still coughing. “Would you mind explaining, what is your relationship with the head of Horizon?”
“I’m an only child.” Oliver took a few sips of water abruptly. His expression still a little dazed. “…At least I thought I was. No, that’s not the problem. Nemo, I’m here—”
“We stopped by to take a commission for a witch hunt and that commission is for you.” Godwin got straight to the point. “You’re an Eastern Witch, aren’t you?”
The old lady in the rocking chair looked at the young man in front of her through the thick lenses and nodded slowly. Nemo, who just picked up a doughnut, shook his hands and almost dropped it to the ground. Oliver quickly helped catch it for him.
