Mystery: But the Witch's Path

Chapter 138 Don't mess with me!

Upon hearing this, Altair first pointed to himself, making a surprised, dumbfounded, and speechless expression, as if asking Adam, "Brother, don't mess with me! I, Sequence Five, investigating Sequence 0 of this pathway, ah! Don't be ridiculous—"

After a few seconds of silence, Altair turned his head back, ignoring Adam, and resumed his study of virology.

About fifteen minutes later, Altair looked up at Adam again and said, "Why haven't you left yet?"

Adam smiled and replied, "I'm waiting for your reply."

After sighing, Altair said speechlessly, "You should know that I have neither the ability to travel through the mirror world, nor am I a real member or believer of the Witch Cult, nor do I have any bloodline from the Tudor or Chick families. He wouldn't even give a damn about me."

"So I can't help you."

"And the original." As soon as he uttered this sentence, Altair immediately shut up, ceasing his sarcastic remarks and silently watching Him.

Seeing this, Adam maintained his smile and said, "Please continue."

Upon hearing this, Altair rolled his eyes at Adam, crossed his arms, and said with a smug grin, "Are you trying to trick me?"

"Sigh, too bad, I'm not in the mood to talk about it today."

"Furthermore, given the terrible script you laid out for me before, I won't tell you about it later."

"Hmm... or you could beg me."

"When I'm in a better mood, I'll mercifully tell you."

After saying that, Altair looked at Him with a smug expression.

As time passed, Adam remained standing not far away, smiling at Altair, neither speaking nor asking questions, simply waiting in the same spot.

They waited for Altair to speak first and give them the answer they needed.

Adam frowned for a few seconds before regaining his composure and smiling, "I understand, I'll be more careful next time."

"However, I still suggest that you stick to the witch's path."

"If you know that, then hurry up and leave. My family isn't allowing guests to stay for dinner today," Altair said impatiently.

Before leaving, Adam smiled and suggested, "You could consider norovirus combined with a mass fatigue epidemic."

After saying this, Adam vanished from the spot and left.

Seeing this, Altair shook his head helplessly, thinking, "When I see the Red Maid, I'll definitely devise a plan and instigate him to slap you a couple of times under the pretext that 'this is a necessary sacrifice.' I'd prefer to have several chances to do it."

"Ideally, sooner rather than later!"

After rubbing his wrists, Altair resumed his research on "virology," this time incorporating psychology into his studies.

At noon, Altair sat at the dining table, looked at Vivian, and asked, "Adela, have you gone back?"

"What? You can't bear to part with it?" Vivian asked with a smile.

"No," Altair immediately denied, adding, "I was just curious about why she suddenly left."

"9

Vivian stopped eating, put down her knife, and smiled, "You've had a great time these past few days, but the sect's sellers can't wait. They're already pressing for delivery, so she—"

There was no other way but to go back and deliver the goods.

Upon hearing this, Altair gave an awkward laugh and said, "Let's eat, let's eat."

In the afternoon, Altair and Vivian left Sheffield Manor and were invited to Philips department store in Backlund West.

As soon as she entered, Audrey, who was sitting in the lobby waiting, quickly stood up and went over to greet her, "Good afternoon, Sister Altair."

Good afternoon, Sister Vivian.

Altair smiled and returned the greeting, saying, "Good afternoon, Miss Audrey."

After saying that, she quickly stepped forward to formally introduce the two, saying, "Vivian, this is Audrey, you should know her, so I won't go into too much detail."

"Audrey, this is Vivian, from Trier in the Republic of Intis, a former member of the Laurent family."

At this point, Altair leaned closer and added, "Now it's the Sheffield family's."

"Hmm." Audrey nodded emphatically, then mischievously whispered, "Should I call her sister-in-law or brother-in-law?"

Upon hearing this, Altair smiled and ruffled Audrey's hair, saying, "Sister-in-law."

"Okay, I understand." Audrey replied with a smile, revealing an expression that said, "As expected of my sister, Audrey, you're really something."

Vivian smiled at the two immature children in front of her and added, "Are you done talking? If you are, come shopping with me."

"Okay, sure." The two replied in unison.

In the blink of an eye, only half a month remains until 1348, although the people of this world—this era—have not yet swept away the dust,

Customs include offering sacrifices to the Kitchen God, preparing New Year's goods, and pasting Spring Festival couplets. But since it's time to welcome the new year, people will always buy some festive decorations and eat some delicacies that they usually can't bear to taste, fully enjoying this brief joy.

After Vivian went to the dressing room, Audrey asked curiously, "Sister Altair, how did you all recover so quickly?"

"I remember my dad saying that you and Sister Vivian were badly injured."

Altair chuckled twice and explained, "Have you forgotten about the Extraordinary? That world has no shortage of healing methods."

"However, it's best to keep this to yourself and not publicize it."

"What I mean is, you didn't see me today, after all, Count Altair is still recovering from his injuries."

"Hmm." Audrey nodded and said, "I understand. The only person accompanying me shopping today was Sister Altair, not Count Altair."

No sooner had she finished speaking than Audrey changed the subject, grinning mischievously, "So, Sister Altair, what are you planning to use to shut me up?"

Before Altair could reply, Vivian came out and asked the two of them, "What are you talking about?"

"It's nothing, Vivian." Before she could finish speaking, Audrey looked around and, finding no one nearby, added, "Sister-in-law."

Altair then betrayed Audrey, smiling as he said, "The little one's asking us for hush money."

As soon as she finished speaking, Audrey patted Altair's hand, revealing a displeased expression.

Seeing this, Vivian chuckled and said, "Sure, since you're calling me sister-in-law, I've decided that Miss Audrey's expenses today will be covered by the Alshefield family."

Vivian then rushed forward, pulled Audrey away, and began to choose a gift for her.

From jewelry to everyday clothes, Vivian would try on anything that looked good on Audrey.

This scene reminded Altair of the time a year and a half ago, when they met for the second time, and Vivian dressed her up and changed her clothes like a Barbie doll.
