Chapter 294 (2): Takes Two to Tango
August twenty-fifth.
From the Londan Airport, a few black luxury cars drove out. Silvia had insisted on staying in the Balear Islands for vacation, but only for one day. She knew that as the head of the household, Auston often had to do what his position required him to do. It was the same for her. As the District High Reverend, she had to return to work after her one-month absence.
Such was the way of the adult world. What the mind thought didn’t matter as much as where one sat, and everyone had to learn to rein in their temperament.
Back at the Lando Estate, the first thing Silvia did was send Auston flying into the grove with a punch. Then she took another car to the Church of Nature’s Londan head office.
After watching the show, Veronica rushed at top speed to her own mansion and called for reinforcements immediately, discussing countermeasures with her strategist and general.
Over the past couple of days, she had kept a close eye on Wayne and hadn’t let the old hag get what she wanted, but according to the old hag’s own statement, she had already gotten a taste.
Veronica wasn’t sure if Senna was deliberately getting on her nerves or telling the truth. She needed Kristen’s and Vera’s support, so they should move in temporarily to take turns guarding the trash can. They couldn’t let Senna move the trash can to the Church of Nature’s headquarters.
Auston rushed to the headquarters of the Ministry of Magic first thing, while Wayne drove to his base to conduct experiments. Everyone was busy with their own priorities.
Wayne’s top priority was shutting the Princess up.
He couldn’t afford to delay any longer. The Princess had been missing for two whole months, and with the death of Vice Minister Alan, the Queen was most likely losing her mind. He had to return the Princess soon.
Before leaving, Wayne had shown Juno his angel form—big eyeball with wings, draped in holy light effects. He looked like a proper high-ranking angel descending to the human world. The spectacle would even convince the Pope.
Juno believed it wholeheartedly. Eating up his lies and feeding herself with more she produced herself, she had been staying at the secret base without going anywhere.
