Chapter 208: Temporary residence.

After Cecilia took the first bite of the cake, a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes, and she couldn't help but exclaimed, because she found that the taste of this cake was different from the ones she had eaten before.

"Did this shop get a new pastry chef?" Cecilia was very familiar with the taste because she often ate the pastries from this shop. So when she ate it this time, she could feel that the taste was different from the familiar memory.

Lu Xiao looked over when she heard the sound: "Is the taste wrong?"

She didn't taste any difference, because she didn't eat much cake from this shop, and each time she would just have a small piece with Cecilia.

"It feels like a new pastry chef. There is a slight change in the taste. If you don't eat it often, you may not feel it obviously, but it's still okay."

Lu Xiao didn't expect that Cecilia was so familiar with the pastry chefs in this shop. It was obvious that she had eaten a lot of cakes from this shop over the years.

“That might be true.”

"I don't know why, but how was the business of this store when you went there?"

As a long-time customer of this store, Cecilia still asked one more question.

"It feels okay, no different from before, but there are a few new waiters. By the way, I know one of them." Lu Xiao briefly recounted the process of getting to know Platinum.

After listening to her story, Cecilia nodded and said, "That's indeed a coincidence, but he should thank you. If it weren't for you, he probably wouldn't be able to leave the supervision of the Female Protection Association now."

Lu Xiao smiled, she didn't take it too seriously. She saved Platinum because she couldn't stand the way the female cubs of Duke Green acted.

Knowing what she was thinking, Cecilia didn't say anything else. After the grandparents and grandchildren finished eating the cake, Lu Xiao returned to her room.

Lu Xiao, who was about to take a shower, suddenly received a message. The sender was still Kro, and the content was - "Address, you can find what you want here, but you have to come in person, because the door can only be opened by your biological genes."

Lu Xiao frowned unconsciously. If the purpose shown by Kro last time was unclear, then his purpose this time was very obvious.

Forward the message to Admiral Crane.

After receiving the message, Admiral Clan immediately sent a voice message to Lu Xiao: "Are you home now?"

"Yes, I'm at home. I just received this message. They want me to go in person."

"Xiaoxiao, now I can be sure that they are targeting you. I will take you to the First Military Region. Are you willing?"

"No problem father, I'll wait for you."

"Okay, pack some clothes and I'll be back later."

After finishing the call with Crane, Lu Xiao went to the bathroom to take a quick shower, and simply packed a few sets of clothes and some daily necessities. Then Admiral Crane also rushed back.

Cecilia also told the matter. After hearing that the people from the Black Tower had approached Lu Xiao again, Cecilia couldn't help but worry. She followed Admiral Clan and asked, "What exactly do these people want to do?"

"Don't worry, mother. I will do my best to protect Xiaoxiao's safety." Admiral Clan comforted Cecilia softly.

Cecilia is old now and can't bear to see such things happen. If it were earlier, she probably wouldn't be so worried.

"You are Xiaoxiao's father, so you are responsible for her safety. You must find those bastards in the Black Tower this time. There is no reason to be on guard against them all day long."

"I know, mother." Admiral Crane said seriously. Lu Xiao walked over and hugged Cecilia, gently patted the old lady's shoulder and comforted her: "Grandma, don't worry, I will be fine with my father. You should take care of yourself at home and wait for me to come back."

"Grandmother knows that you are capable and sensible. It is normal for an outstanding female like you to be missed by others. I just hope that everything goes well for you. Don't worry about me. I am an old man, and I stay in my own nest. No one can do anything to me, unless they don't want to live anymore. Go ahead. Tell me if you need anything. Remember, Lu Xiao, the Duke of Galliodro's Mansion will always be your strong backing!"

"Good grandmother."

After talking to Cecilia, Lu Xiao followed Admiral Clan out of the Duke's Mansion.

Admiral Clan looked at Lu Xiao, who was in a very stable mood, and actually felt very distressed. Other female children would be most likely to act mischievously and willfully at Lu Xiao's age.

But the little female in their family has shouldered a heavy responsibility and has become the light of hope for the males of the entire empire.

It’s not difficult to guess the purpose of Black Tower looking for Lu Xiao.

As more and more S-level males were discharged from the S-level shelter after recovery, everything pointed to Lu Xiao.

In this regard, the Black Tower, which has been seeking profits, cannot remain indifferent.

That's why they harass me again and again.

Cecilia was right. They didn't have to be on guard against thieves all day. This matter had to be resolved.

"I have arranged for someone to investigate the situation at this address. I will notify you as soon as there is any news. You don't need to go to the Fifth Institute for the time being."

Lu Xiao knew that Admiral Clan said this for her safety, so she didn't refuse: "Okay, I'll say hello to Teacher Ellie.

Huh, just tell me you have something to talk to me about and that I need to be transferred to another position for a while."

"Okay." Knowing that Lu Xiao didn't want to worry his colleagues at the Fifth Institute, Admiral Clan did not refuse.

By the time we entered the First Military Region, it was already getting dark.

When Admiral Kelan's adjutant saw Lu Xiao following behind Admiral Kelan, he immediately saluted respectfully: "Good day, Your Excellency Lu Xiao."

Lu Xiao was startled by the sudden loud greeting. She looked up at the other party's nervous and excited expression and found it a little funny: "Hello, Mr. Adjutant."

After receiving the response, the adjutant was extremely happy.

Admiral Clan glanced at his adjutant, who was always very steady and at most a little jumpy in front of him, and coughed lightly, signaling him to stop.

Because Lu Xiao was coming over, the adjutant had already prepared the room for Lu Xiao in advance at the request of Admiral Clan.

"The conditions here are a little worse, but you can tell me if you need anything and we will satisfy you!" The adjutant opened the door enthusiastically.

Lu Xiao was not surprised when he entered. This was the most normal military lounge. He had seen it before at Ares's place. "It's great here. I don't need anything. Thank you."

"You are so polite. It is a great honor for the entire First Military Region to have you here!" The adjutant was so happy.
He was so happy that he finally met Lord Lu Xiao.

Admiral Cran felt that his adjutant talked a lot tonight, stealing his responsibility as a father.

Originally, he wanted to personally take Lu Xiao to see the room and say those words, but in the end his adjutant did it instead!
But it’s not good to appear too stingy in front of Lu Xiao, so depressing!
