Chapter 163: The Third Task (1)
As the night progressed, Xavier approached Iris, who was engrossed in reading something on her laptop while seated on the couch.
"Iris, have you finished your preparations?" Xavier’s voice made Iris stop reading the target data report.
She glanced at Xavier, who leaned against the door frame, looking dashing in his dark-colored outfit. "Yes," she replied, closing her laptop. After stowing it in her space ring, she joined him. "Are we leaving now?"
"If you’ve completed all your preparations, it’s time to go. This is a perfect moment to monitor your target. According to Justin, he’s at a nightclub," Xavier explained.
He had already sent Justin there, and Gavriel had also arrived in District Five.
"Alright, I’m ready. Everything I need is in my space ring..." Iris paused, recalling she needed new shoes. "Xavier, I just need my shoes. Please give me a moment." She headed towards her walk-in closet.
"Take your time, darling. I’ll wait for you downstairs."
"Okay," Iris called out from inside the walk-in closet.
She felt overwhelmed looking at the many combat boots provided by Xavier. It was as if he had known of her tastes; all the shoes were the same as the ones she usually wore in her previous life.
After a while, she located a pair of shoes she decided to use and stored a few in her space ring, just in case she might need them.
