Chapter 571: No refunds and no names.
In the hidden city, Caishen and the Tai’s had found somewhere to relax as they waited for Alix. It was in the revolving door restaurant in the city, on the fortieth floor of a building that had a view of the mystery forest in the city. They had not been allowed inside highly protected rooms where missions were monitored so they could only wait from for the result of the fight.
Caishen had assured them that Alix was fine, his own system could communicate with hers. This news reassured them and they waited with ease.
It was the first time the Tai’s were visiting the hidden city and with their hearts at ease they finally settled down and took in the sites.
There was a hologram screen on the wall showing one of the recent trending action movies but nobody was watching it. They were more interested in watching a video which depicted the different parts of the city, roads, forest, beaches, under water passages, marine life and more.
Both adults and children were mesmerized alike, one person however had a sour look on his face. It was none other than grandpa Tai.
He looked like he had just swallowed a bitter candy whose taste was lingering in his mouth.
"Grandpa, why do you look displeased?" Caishen asked him.
"Hmph, they took our money, billions of it and promised us benefits. Look at this place, they didn’t invite us over even once. If you had not brought us today because we are all worried about Alix who knows if we would ever see it?" He pointed a finger at the sky and shook it furiously. "We have been indoors for half of the lunar new year because of the rain but the sun is shining here."
His hands moved to the other families in the restaurant and those below, plus the ones waiting for flying transportation. His eyes moved in the direction of an amusement park in the city where humans, animals and machines were having a good time.
