Chapter 189: Master Plans
The Shadow Gear Team happened to be hanging around the guild.
Jet had just been discharged from the hospital two days ago. Since his leg was still injured, he would need some time to recover before he could take on jobs again.
As for the embarrassing incident that landed him in the hospital, Jet didn't seem to care anymore. Everyone made a fool of themselves once in a while. What mattered was getting back up and trying harder next time.
When Rhodes returned with the flowerpots, he found the three of them eating and drinking together—although technically, drinking wasn't the best idea for someone who hadn't fully healed yet, wizards weren't exactly known for their restraint.
Besides, Levy and Troy hadn't been able to persuade Jet to take it easy. At worst, it would just delay his recovery by a few more days. So they let him be.
"Troy, could you take a look at these plants for me?" Rhodes asked, setting the pots down on the table. Two were orchids, and the other was a succulent.
"Potted plants? They don't look too good." Troy put down his wine glass and leaned in to inspect them carefully.
Levy asked curiously, "Rhodes, do you like growing flowers?"
"It's not exactly a hobby," Rhodes explained. "These were left behind by my old landlord. He said I could have them."
"I've been taking care of them for about half a year, but I had to leave them while I was out on a job recently. When I got back, they were like this."
Troy examined the leaves one by one, poked the soil, and looked surprisingly professional about it.
