Chapter 1820: Older Brother Jayad’s Refusal?
Although I had taken in six rioters as maids, none of them knew how to drive. As a result, I, their Master, had to be the chauffeur. They sat in the back, looking around as if they were in the Grand View Garden.
When I returned to the factory, the workers looked on in confusion as a black luxury car drove in, thinking some important figure had come for a meeting. They only recognized me when I rolled down the window and greeted me, “Advisor!”
I found a secluded warehouse away from prying eyes to park. As I opened the door and got out, two or three of the rioters turned pale or green, unable to stand steadily. It was their first time in a car, and they were carsick.
“Um, I don’t feel so well. Perhaps from now on, we’ll just run behind Master’s car,” one of the carsick rioters said, and even those who weren’t carsick nodded in agreement.
With their physical prowess, the rioters could easily outrun a steam car and run for three to four hours without tiring. They didn’t find sitting in a car comfortable and weren’t used to such luxuries.
“No, you must ride in the car. This time, we could only drive slowly because there were too many people on the road. Besides, you won’t get carsick once you get used to it,” I absolutely refused their suggestion. The thought of letting a few girls run behind the car was absurd.
This was also because the roads in Cando City were too narrow and crowded, forcing the car to stop and go. If we were in the outskirts of Darmstadt, with clear blue skies and vast snowfields, driving would be truly enjoyable.
Of course, this was just an experiment. The truth was, after understanding the principles and construction, I could indeed use the Transfiguration to create a steam car and make it work. This opened up many possibilities for its use.
“Advisor, Advisor.” Just then, a worker ran into the warehouse. He seemed to be looking for me. “Advisor, we just saw three women heading towards your house. I think I even heard an argument.”
“Three women? What did they look like? What were they wearing?” I asked.
“Uh, one big and two small. They seem to be Nuns. They were wearing very… uh, exposed clothing? No, I mean, thick clothes,” the worker recalled, though he didn’t seem very confident in his memory.
From his description, it should be Lorna and the two Twin Nuns. Their confused memories were likely due to the cognitive effects of their Disguise Technique.
What were they doing here? Were they preparing for the baptism ritual? But why were they arguing?
“Thank you for informing me. I’ll head back now. You all should return to the dormitory,” I said to the rioters.
I had already occupied two villas, and the other villas were already inhabited. I felt too embarrassed to occupy another one, so I had them, the six of them, stay in the vacant employee dormitory.
However, the employee dormitory wasn’t bad at all. It was originally a six-person room for middle-class employees, with each person having a single bed and some simple furniture. The kitchen and bathroom were shared.
For the rioters who were used to living in dilapidated castles or ruined monasteries, camping in tents, or even sleeping in the open, this was already a very good dwelling.
“Yes,” the rioters agreed and left for the dormitory. I, on the other hand, hurried home, eager to find out why Lorna and the two Nun sisters had come.
The worker was about to leave, but before he did, he glanced at the warehouse with a puzzled look and rubbed his eyes. Wasn’t there a car here just now?
He looked again closely. There was no trace of a car, just an empty warehouse. Where had the advisor’s car gone?
Wait, did the advisor come back in a car? It seemed like she walked back with bread, followed by six very strong women. They didn’t look like factory workers either, and I had never seen them before.
The worker felt like his memory was getting confused. He had encountered several instances where his memory was hazy and inexplicable, making him wonder if he was sick and needed to see the factory doctor hired by the advisor.
As I approached the vicinity of the villa, I saw three Nuns standing at the entrance from afar. Lorna’s voluptuous and alluring figure, and the overly conspicuous clothes and glowing halos on the heads of the two Twin Nuns, made them stand out. Without their Disguise Technique, they would have attracted everyone’s attention.
Older Brother Jayad was standing at the entrance. As I walked over, I heard him say, “I’m sorry, but please allow me to refuse this proposal.”
Lorna trembled slightly as he spoke. One of the Twin Nuns spoke in a hurried, slightly agitated voice, “The Sect has invested so much in you, how can you betray our good intentions?!”
“I have not forgotten the Sect’s regard for me, and I am willing to repay their kindness with my actions. I can do anything within my power, but please allow me to refuse this matter,” Jayad stated firmly.
“Why?! You were the one who requested this help, and we’ve already made our plans. It’s only beneficial to you. If you don’t do it, all our ritual preparations will be in vain!” The other Nun spoke more gently and courteously, but she was also anxious at this moment.
“I didn’t expect things to develop this way. I feel it’s disrespectful to Miss Lorna’s right to choose,” Jayad said seriously.
At this moment, Lorna spoke herself, her voice trembling, “If, if I say I’m willing, if this is my own thought, will you agree?”
Jayad was silent for a long time before replying, “I’m sorry, Miss Lorna, this is too sudden. I need to think about it.”
Lorna seemed to instantly lose all strength and almost collapsed. One of the Twin Nuns steadied her, while the other anxiously asked, “Why? What’s wrong with Sister Lorna? If you don’t give us an explanation, I’ll…”
“Forget it!” Lorna grabbed her raised arm. “Forget it. Just as Older Brother Jayad said, we were too hasty and didn’t clarify anything. Let’s give him some time to think it over. Let’s go.”
“Tsk!” The Nun supporting Lorna said helplessly, “Sister, let’s go. It’s true that we can’t make a decision right now. Everyone needs to calm down.”
The three prepared to leave, but a voice came from the side, “Wait, you can’t go.”
“Hmm?” The three turned around simultaneously. Lorna, recognizing the familiar voice, looked even more embarrassed, as if she wanted to escape. Jayad also said in surprise, “Parul, you’re back.”
“I’m back, Older Brother Jayad. Since we have guests, why not invite them in for a seat?” I asked with a smile, then turned to the three Nuns, “Is there something you need to discuss? May I hear about it?”
