Chapter 1361: In a Pinch
After Lory returns to the Cestine palace, Fred tells Lory about what happened to Madeline, Jack, Garrof, and the others. Lory couldn’t believe how much had happened in just a few days, but luckily Jay personally went to find Samuel Albretch and Maddy.
Meanwhile, Clift, suspicious of Sean Lockwood’s identity, decides to go to Eagle Rock City to find out more about Sean Lockwood and ensure the safety of the Hamilton family. Therefore, only Fargo and Fredhardt remained at Cestine Palace to guard the royal family and the palace.
"The appearance of Bael has increased forty percent worldwide, but fortunately no one knows about the appearance of Bael in Mirror Creek, otherwise there would be an uproar in our country," Fred was relieved that they acted quickly before there were any casualties, making it easier to contain the information.
That’s good news," Lory sighed. By the way, how far along are we in our investigation of Froggy Bael?" So many things had happened that she had forgotten about the Bael she had captured with Jay and Clift.
"Well, we are getting a better understanding of the nature of this creature and how this life seed works. I am sure we will soon find another way to kill it without the help of Luxemborough or the S.A.I.N.T. organization, all thanks to your hard work and the boys." Fred praised Lory, and the other generously.
Lory’s eyebrow twitched. "I don’t think calling them ’Boys’ at this age is appropriate anymore."
Fred waved his hand dismissively. "Fargo said the same thing, but to me you all still a bunch of kids who always give me a hard time, even Lucas."
"You talk like an old man" Lory teased.
"Rubbish, I’m still young and energetic!" Fred refuted firmly
"Yeah, that’s what old people used to say" Lory rolled her eyes.
Fred glanced at Lory for a moment then suddenly put a stack of papers on her desk. "Since you said I’m old, you might as well check these documents while I’m taking a break, you know, like an old man." Fred smiled which did not reach his eyes.
