The simple little Kelin obviously didn't quite understand, so it was Lina's turn to explain it to her.
"What this means is that these guests are not actually investigators from the association."
Chapter 109 Meeting
"Ahhhhh?! Not an investigator!"
When Kelin heard this, her voice became much louder in shock. Zhe wanted to say that he was actually a Hollow Investigator, but not from here.
And just then, Lekaan spoke again.
“You don’t need to be so vigilant. Victoria Housekeeping is only responsible to its employers and has no prejudice against unofficial people active in the void. Moreover, you are all Kelin’s benefactors.
If you are willing to be frank and honest, we will do our best to help you as a good host."
Since the other party said so, Zhe felt that there was no need to hide it.
"Look at the bright side. I can finally confess to Corinne and Ellen. To be honest, I'm actually a rope maker."
Then Zhe explained the purpose of coming to the building, except for Xi'en's identity as a hacker.
"I never thought you were the legendary rope maker Phaethon, and you came here to search for your missing friend."
After knowing Zhe's identity and purpose, Lekaan's tone softened a lot, while Ailian and Kelin on the side were still a little surprised.
Ailian was still thinking in her heart that Zhe's real identity was Phaethon, so it was no surprise that he could easily take the blow from her tail.
Actually, it’s not like that. If Ling had received that blow, she would probably have been injured.
"Lycan, are there any clues worth noting in the building?"
Zhe originally wanted to ask if the other party had noticed anyone, but unfortunately, Lekaan said that because the official carrot data was very outdated, even they themselves could not accurately grasp the situation in the building.
"Brother! There's an urgent matter right now. Nicole just called. She said that when she got to the helipad, she discovered that the people registered to appear in court were all members of the Rabbit House. The court requires Ambi and the others to be present!"
At this moment, Ling suddenly interrupted the call and spoke anxiously. This made things difficult. After all, what should they do to find someone after Anbi and the others left?
Do we have to let Zhe enter the hollow himself? That doesn't seem like a good idea no matter how you look at it!
(No, it’s actually quite possible. Given Zhe’s current condition, if he exerts his full strength, no Yi Hai can intentionally harm him.)
"Everyone, I'm sorry to have overheard your conversation without your permission, but I have a suggestion. How about Mr. Ropemaker joining us from now on?
Since Mr. Rope Maker is looking for someone, and we are also hindered by the obsolete data, why not cooperate with each other and get what we need."
After hearing Lekaan's proposal, Zhe did not refuse. After all, apart from anything else, the other team not only had two of his acquaintances, but also a very strong team.
The main reason why Lekaan made this suggestion was, on the one hand, because his companions knew Zhe, and on the other hand, because of the reputation of the legendary rope maker.
So it’s good to be a little more famous, at least you won’t be looked down upon when working with others.
However, Zhe still needs to send Ambi and others out of the hole first, so the exploration of the building can only be temporarily suspended for now.
After leaving the cave, the three people from the Cunning Rabbit House immediately set out to take the airship. To be honest, the airship still needs to pass by the Balai Building to go to the Supreme Court of Arbitration.
At this time, Ling joked that there was an option to get on the bus midway, but she never thought that this would actually come true later.
"Phew, luckily I met some people from Victoria Housekeeping today, otherwise I would have to go to the Hollow to look for them myself."
Although this is a bit selfish, Ling still hopes that her brother will try not to take risks, even though she knows that he is very powerful.
"Also, I just had Fairy look up Victoria Housekeeping online. Their service prices are shockingly high. Just as they said, their clients are probably high-net-worth individuals."
When this was mentioned, Ling subconsciously thought of the time when Ailian and Kelin provided maid service to Zhe together.
This can be considered as an experience of the services provided by high-net-worth individuals. Fortunately, it is free, otherwise the expenses would not be enough.
"Well, if we establish a stable cooperative relationship with them, our information channels will also be expanded. So before going to the Hollow, I will go to the Balai Building to say hello to them."
After saying this, Zhe pushed the door and left. Then the scene changed and he had already driven to his destination.
After getting off the car, I immediately saw Lekaan standing not far away. I walked up to him and was about to say hello, but he spoke first.
"You must be the rope maker, Master Phaethon. Corin and Ellen have already introduced you to me."
Actually, the introduction only mentions the name and the appearance that can be recognized at a glance.
As for what his specific appearance was, the answer Lekan got after asking was... very handsome, and now he saw that it was indeed true.
"Well, it's my pleasure to meet you, Mr. Lycan."
"You're welcome. It's an honor for Victoria Housekeeping to meet you."
After the two exchanged some pleasantries, Lekaan explained that Ies was being taken care of by Lina because he was feeling uncomfortable in the humid environment.
When Zhe heard this, he wanted to go over directly, but was stopped by Lekaan again.
"Although I know this is rude, out of concern for my colleagues, I still need to ask you, what is your relationship with Ellen?"
It’s not surprising to ask this question. After all, the people in Victoria Housekeeping are more like family than colleagues.
And Lekaan has taken on the responsibility of being the head of the family, so it is not surprising that he cares about Ailian, a poor child who lost her parents at a young age.
"More than friends, but less than lovers."
Zhe did not avoid the other party's problems. After they were together, they would definitely have to face these problems.
Lekaan was not surprised to hear Zhe's answer, based on his previous observations of Ellen and the other's reaction after he asked questions about Zhe.
All these indicate that the relationship between the two cannot be ordinary.
"I see. I understand. Please treat her well and don't let her down. Ailian has had few friends since she was a child, and it's only in recent years that things have gotten better."
Lekaan didn't say much, but almost everything he said was to let Zhe treat Elen well.
He didn't threaten people right away because that would easily scare them away, but if Zhe really did something to let Ailian down.
Then it's not just him, the other people in Victoria's housekeeping department don't mind doing something a little rude, at least that's what Lecan himself thinks.
Then the conversation ended, and when Zhe rushed over there, he only saw the two little ones beside Lina giving Ies a massage.
Chapter 110 'Sleeping' Ailian
"Oh, you must be Mr. Phaethon—Zhe. Ellen and little Corinne have been talking about you the whole time they've been waiting."
"Lina, don't say anything unnecessary. I'm just making a normal introduction."
While Ailian was defending herself, her eyes were always focused on Zhe. It seemed that she wanted to ask something, but she couldn't speak because there were other people around.
Lina just smiled and said nothing, and her smile was somewhat meaningful. However, little Kelin didn't understand it. She only knew that she felt very happy after seeing Zhe.
"Brother Zhe, I'm glad to see you here. Kelin never thought... that I could actually work with you."
Looking at the well-behaved Kelin in front of him, Zhe couldn't help but reach out and touch the other's little head.
"Well, then, I'll have to ask Corin for help from now on."
After hearing this, Kelin's face turned slightly red and she nodded happily. She felt very satisfied that Zhe trusted her.
"By the way, Mr. Zhe must be a little tired after traveling all the way here. Do you need something to eat to replenish your energy?"
Lina then took out a small box that seemed to be used to hold snacks.
After hearing what the other party said, Kelin and Ailian's expressions changed. The former was more afraid, while the latter was worried.
As for what she was worried about, everything became clear after Lina opened the snack box.
I only saw the dots in the snack box...this thing can no longer be called a snack, there are fish heads and octopus tentacles attached to the cream.
Looking closely, there seems to be something dancing in the jam?!
"No, that's not necessary. I'm not really that hungry."
"Mr. Zhe, you're welcome. You can eat as much as you want, or at least try it. Kelin and Ailian told me that your cooking skills are very good, so I'd like to ask for your comments."
Judging from the other person's tone, it seems that this thing must be eaten. What is this? A test?
Zhe looked at the lump in front of him with a serious expression, and after hesitating for a long time, he reached out and grabbed the relatively normal snack in the box.
Seeing this, Lina smiled even more happily, and even her favorability increased by 5 points. Kelin, while feeling scared, looked at Zhe with admiration.
As for Ailian, when she saw Zhe reaching out his hand, she thought about eating all the snacks on his behalf, but after thinking it over, she decided not to take action.
I thought Zhe would ask for help in this life-or-death crisis, but he ended up grabbing a snack and putting it in his mouth in front of everyone.
Under the surprised gazes of Corinne and Ellen, he chewed and swallowed it, even making a comment at the end.
"The taste is pretty good, but it still needs improvement. If Miss Lina needs anything, we can find time to discuss it together."
While Zhe was saying this, he silently placed the indescribable snack that was stored in the system space in the corner to prevent it from contaminating other things in the space.
But Lina didn't know all this, and was even happy about what Zhe said.
"Really? That's great! Thank you, Mr. Zhe."
At this time, Kelin on the side looked like she wanted to say something but hesitated. Seeing this, Zhe immediately added.
"Of course, there are also Kelin and Ailian. You can come along when the time comes. Ailian will be in charge of trying out the finished product we make."
Hearing this, Kelin happily agreed, while Ailian said it was too troublesome, but then turned around and said that she still agreed because of the free delicious food.
Zhe looked at Ailian's panel and found that he was actually very happy. He was really a tsundere little shark, so cute.
Then Ailian said that she wanted to go to the side to rest for a while, and at this time, Zhe received a call from Ling.
When he went to answer the phone, he happened to see Ailian curled up in a chair and sleeping. The latter did not have the habit of sleeping with her tail hugged.
So when Zhe saw this, he couldn't help but take action, and Ailian instinctively wanted to slap him with his tail.
However, after the first attack was blocked by Zhe, the latter seemed to calm down after sensing a familiar breath.
But his breathing seemed a little strange, as if he deliberately didn't want to be noticed, so he pretended to be asleep.
But Zhe didn't care about these things. He just explained the situation to Ling and also told her something very important.
"Rin, I want to go into the cave this time."
"What?! No, I don't agree!"
After hearing Zhe's thoughts, Ling's voice became much louder, and then, like a little wife caring about her husband, she explained many serious consequences.
For example, after Zhe entered the void, he was injured, which caused inconvenience in his life and even made it impossible for him to satisfy her (referring to daily living expenses).
"Don't worry so much. You know my strength. Besides, this is also to find Xi En faster. Her current condition is probably not very good. Besides, I am not alone."
After hearing this, Ling fell into deep thought, thinking that the people in Victoria Housekeeping were all strong and there shouldn't be any big problems, so after weighing it over and over again, she finally agreed reluctantly.
"Hmph, if you hadn't insisted on going, I definitely wouldn't have agreed! And just in case, remember to bring a few extra bottles of anti-ether erosion potions."
Ling not only repeatedly told Zhe to bring good things with him, but also emphasized that he should not show off when encountering danger.
The latter had no choice but to nod in agreement. After hanging up the phone, Zhe looked at Ailian who seemed to be still sleeping beside him.
Judging from the panel, the other party was not asleep. It seemed that he had woken up when he touched his tail.
In fact, when Zhe said that he wanted to enter the cave together, he already felt Airen's body and tail tremble.
Are you worried about me? That's cute, but don't worry, I'm not the type who needs protecting.
Zhe thought so in his heart, but what did Ailian think? Let's take a look.
Tsk, Zhe actually chose not to possess Bomb this time, but instead enter the Hollow with his true form? Doesn't that mean I can't hold him openly? Damn...
Ailian's true thoughts made Zhe's mouth twitch slightly, but he also felt that the strength he showed would not make the other party worry, not to mention that there were so many people around this time.
But because his original fantasy was shattered, he felt a little unhappy, so Zhe decided to do something.
Looking at Ailian who was still pretending to sleep in front of him, he deliberately spoke.
"It looks like Ailian is already fast asleep. If that's the case, I'll just take action without hesitation."
(Ps: Book friends who have joined the group, please pay attention, remember to send a message regularly, not too frequently, once a week or two will be enough, otherwise you may be kicked out by the administrator.)
Chapter 111 Entering the Hole
As Zhe said this, he moved his hand away from the other person's tail and reached out to the other person's calf wrapped in black stockings.
The delicate black stockings reflect slightly under the light, revealing the tiny patterns on them, while the tightly wrapped calves look very plump and attractive.
Swallowing subconsciously, Zhe finally reached out and gently touched Ailian's calf. The moment of contact, he could clearly feel the latter's body slightly tense.
But after Zhe pressed the soft muscles on the other's calf with his fingers, Ailian could no longer hold back.
