Chapter 73: Chapter 73: Finally Hooked! (Three Updates)
By the time Lette returned home, it was already dark.
The three girls, for some unknown reason, decided to cook in the kitchen themselves.
By the time Lette got back, it was too late.
The scene was indescribable, the battle exceedingly intense, even tragic.
In short, the kitchen was at peace, and it departed serenely.
Pots and pans were sacrificed with it, the sky filled with smoke and the floor with flour, a grand spectacle in its passing!
The three lovely girls stood in a line, heads down, staring at their toes, fidgeting with their fingers.
Finally, the main culprit of it all, the initiator, the chief creative officer from the Demon Realm, Miss Lilith, spoke first.
"Lette, you might not believe it, but the kitchen started it first."
"Hmm, I can tell."
Reluctantly, Lette conjured up three Holy Crows, sending them to the Holy Rose Manor to have a luxurious lunch prepared and delivered to his own estate.
After such a big fuss, the four of them managed to have dinner before the sun set.
At the dining table, Lette shared the intel provided by the Red Archbishop as dinner conversation.
To him, the three dining companions wouldn’t blab it everywhere. Besides, the intel would lose its value in two or three days anyway.
"Chimera!? Hmm... quite disappointing."
Emily stirred her thick soup: "It’s my first time seeing a real dragon, and it turned out to be a chimera."
Lette glanced at her: "Firstly, in terms of rarity, chimera is far rarer than the so-called giant dragon.
Secondly, in terms of strength, the dragon clan as a whole indeed has a high average level. But chimera’s strength is hard to gauge.
A weak chimera, you might kick it to death with one blow.
A strong chimera could even wipe out Dragon Island.
After all, its combat power depends on the materials and techniques used to create the chimera."
Lilith chewed her meatball noodles, not forgetting to comment: "If it’s a chimera, it’s even more dangerous.
After all, the Light Holy Dragon is documented and can be understood with common sense.
Chimera? Who knows what peculiar means or deadly moves it’s sewn up with?"
Lette, however, shook his head: "It’s unlikely, their technical prowess is limited, and they can’t hide so many kill moves while maintaining resemblance.
But the focus isn’t on that, Vanessa has never been a problem.
Oh, the enemies have been driven to desperation by me.
So, during tomorrow’s shopping trip, it’ll be their best chance to attack.
By then, Lilith..."
Lilith nodded slightly: "Don’t worry! You just go about your business. You must be holding it in after all these days, right?
In the name of the Demon.
A little over-the-top is fine, you know."
Lette said nothing, just chewed his vegetable salad voraciously.
After dinner, Lette locked the kitchen door and put a lock on it.
He planned to have a good sleep today and deal with the mess when he had time.
Fortunately, his treasured spices were still there, otherwise, he might have gone on a rampage tonight.
After a quiet night, Lette slept soundly.
After washing up, he went to the first floor and found the three lovely girls all dressed up and ready, waiting for him early.
"It’s rare! So obedient and so early today?"
"Since the kitchen is ruined, we need to go to the Holy Rose Manor for breakfast, don’t we? Let’s go!"
"Even for ordinary people, it’s okay to skip breakfast!"
Lilith pouted: "What do you know? If women don’t eat breakfast, they age faster!"
"... None of your business?"
The first rays of morning sunlight shone on the manor as Lette, wearing a new hat, boarded the carriage with Emily and Flander, heading towards the Holy Rose Manor.
After the two battles yesterday, the Holy Rose maidens were not as arrogant as before, nor did they have the urge to challenge Lette on impulse.
Their respectful and fearful gazes were quite flattering to Lette.
Of course, it could also be because his new hat was particularly unique.
"Almost there already! Bite any more and it’ll bleed! I’ll apologize, alright? You’re an eternal young lady!"
"Hmph!"
Having received a satisfactory reply, Lilith finally let go, lightly landing beside the dining table and sitting down elegantly.
"Let’s have breakfast, everyone. After that, we’ll have a good stroll around the Holy City.
Today all your expenses will be covered by the Holy Knight Order! Consider it a reward for your four years of hard work!"
People respect strength, and today the Female Holy Knights were obviously much more cooperative. There were no objections to Lette’s proposal.
After having breakfast together, Lette led the group of female knights and the three lovely girls away from the manor, heading towards the commercial street.
It must be said that the neatly moving Holy Roses became a beautiful sight on the streets of the Holy City!
For their insistence on marching in formation even while shopping, Lette didn’t mind at all.
Sure enough, once they truly reached the commercial street, all the Holy Rose maidens were dumbfounded.
What prosperity! What bustling excitement!
Strange shops, dazzling merchandise, and throngs of people brushing past each other.
The orderly Holy Roses seemed out of place.
"Go play to your heart’s content! Helen, come here!"
Once in this crowded place, Lette suddenly executed a strategic maneuver by calling the vice captain Helen away.
The three lovely ladies exchanged glances, each immediately grabbing three or four female knights, diving straight into the crowd.
Seeing them go in, the remaining girls had no choice but to brace themselves and enter.
Thirty-six people, in the face of the throng of commercial street visitors, were like a drop in the ocean, instantly being swallowed up entirely.
The shop owners of the commercial street had received orders from Grandet yesterday to ensure the Holy Rose female knights were well entertained.
The vast commercial street, like a kaleidoscope filled with sugar-coated artillery shells, ensured the girls were destined to lose themselves completely from the first step they took here.
By the time Helen returned, it was already too late.
"Given the situation, why not go in and have some fun?"
Lette stood with his hands behind his back beside Helen: "I don’t know what Vanessa told you. But if you want to defeat me, don’t you need to understand me first?
This place, which I’ve crafted myself, as a competent vice captain, even if only to gather enemy intelligence, you should go in and have a look, right?"
Helen swallowed, ultimately stepping forward amidst infinite hesitation.
And then, she was swallowed by the mundane crowd, not even making a ripple.
Lette smiled as he walked towards the commercial street. But as soon as he lifted his foot, he sensed faint hostility, and more than just one.
"Finally biting the bait? My effort to set the stage for so long wasn’t in vain!"
Lette suppressed the excitement within him, stepping into the bustling commercial street.
Today, this place is both a fish pond and a hunting ground!
