"Eh?"
When Liza want to walk to the door to get out of the room, her ears caught the sound of a small object falling. It sounded thin but loud, because the room was so quiet. But Liza ignored it.
But when Liza reached the door, she felt the heel of her foot touch something solid and hard. If Liza doesn't notice it quickly, it could be that it was crushed and stepped on by her.
Looking down, it appeared to be a necklace with a solid crystal pendant in a rectangular shape, in a light purple color. Very beautiful. Liza was amazed by the sparkle of the color.
Without Liza knowing, the necklace fell from the cover of the book about movements and magic spells that Liza found earlier.
Since Liza quite liked the necklace, she immediately put it on. It doesn't matter if it's hers or not, but Liza has a feeling that this necklace is for her. Evidently, Liza had not seen this necklace when she entered this room. And after Liza decided to leave, this necklace suddenly appeared.
Liza thought that if she opened the door to this room, she had to put her index finger back into the hole in the door, but it didn't. The door opened by itself as if it knew that Liza was about to leave. And when Liza was out of the room, the door closed itself too.
Then with quick steps, Liza headed to the castle hall, her team's meeting point. Liza was immediately greeted by a tight hug from Mina.
"For God's sake, Liza! It's already evening and we've been waiting for you for many hours! Where have you been?"
Liza was quite surprised when Mina said it was already evening. Even though Liza thought that he was gone only for a while.
"I'm sorry, Mina. I was too busy wandering around looking for information."
Mina then described her embrace to Liza. "Then... How was your search? Did you find a lot of interesting info?"
"Oh, that..."
Liza couldn't possibly say that she just found a magic book and witch history, then accidentally summoned Adera's brother's spirit from the astral dimension with spell magic. It could be considered crazy if Liza told her friends who didn't believe in supernatural things.
"Em, later I will submit my coverage report. You can read it later," Liza replied then.
"Okay, then we should go back to the hotel. Tomorrow we continue our journey to another city," Ken suggested then.
The group then headed to the hotel. Since it wasn't that far, they decided to walk.
Once the group arrived at the floor where they booked a room, Ken quickly restrained Liza before entering her room.
"Oh yeah, Liza. I forgot to bring a collection of reporting reports. Can you help me get them in the car? Later, you can also hand over your reporting along with the files to my room. You don't mind, right?"
Liza nodded. "Of course."
"Thank you, Liza."
Liza went back to the basement where the office car was parked.
"Damn! Why he didn't tell to me beforehand? If this is how it turns out, it's going back and forth! Ken sucks! Just because he becomes a leader of the research, he can do whatever he wants!" Liza grumbled while walking with annoying steps.
When reaching the car door, Liza overheard a woman's cry for help, but it wasn't very clear. It sounded like there were two or three women, because it sounded like a reply. Liza guessed that the sound came from one of the cars in the basement.
But when Liza wanted to find the whereabouts of the voice, suddenly a group of burly men in gangster-style suits came. Liza immediately hid by squatting near the car door.
And faintly, Liza could hear the conversation of the men.
"According to Mr. Ken's report, another amber-haired woman was brought here. We must quickly find the woman and arrest her! She must be here!"
DEG!
'Who are they? Why are they looking for the girl with Amber hair? Oh Gosh ... Are they looking for me? But why? Then Ken ... who?' worried Liza thought.
Liza shook her head vigorously, dispelling the bad thoughts that came to her mind. Try to think positively.
'No No No! It must only be a similar name! There's no way it's Ken! Ken is a good man!'
With a very trembling body with fear, Liza slowly crawled and crept away from them. Trying to walk silently.
But unfortunately, when Liza was about to go out through the entrance, one of the gangsters appeared at the door. That man turns out to be Dough, the former head of the robbers--now he become Christ's lackey.
"Oh My ..."
Liza almost got caught if she didn't dodge and run nimbly.
"Catch her!" shouted Dough loudly to his men.
Liza is running as hard and as hard as he could. Through the hall, to exit the hotel.
"Heeeellpp meee!"
Liza's mind right now is to run away and save herself by going to the security guard post to report and ask for protection.
But in fact, the hotel and security officers had fallen unconscious. Likewise with the visitors on the first floor. Everyone is unconscious.
Smelling the smell of medicine that pierced her nose, Liza realized that the criminals had deliberately spread sleeping gas. All of a sudden, everyone fainted.
"No! I can't fall!" Liza said while covering her nose and mouth with a scarf tie.
With stumbling steps, Liza braced herself so as not to be affected by the sleeping gas. Until he managed to get out.
When Liza arrived at the side of the main road, she felt dizzy from the effects of the sleeping gas earlier. And the unexpected happened when Liza's body stumbled forward.
'Ckkkiiittt!!'
Suddenly, Liza heard the loud screeching of car brakes.
It's on time. If the black Lamborghini car doesn't stop immediately, maybe Liza's body has been hit.
"Ah!"
BRUK!
Because Liza was too shocked, she fainted and fell right on the hood of the car. And the people around also thought that Liza was hit. So did the passengers in the car.
"You idiot! How can you bump into a random woman, huh??"
The car passenger shouted at the driver. It turned out that the passenger was Christone. The man sat in the passenger seat with the two female comforters Jeremy had just ordered.
Terrified, the driver replied, "S-sorry, but I stopped the car before it touched the woman, Master. I'm not bumping that woman."
Christ took a deep breath. But when he realized that the woman who was hit had amber hair, Christ was shocked. A smirk appeared on his lips as an idea came to his mind.
At first, Christ let the two sexy women grope his body, suddenly he pushed their bodies violently.
"You guys, get out!"
Suddenly the two women were confused. "B--but Master..."
Christ took turns looking at the two women, then flashed his red pupils as a warning.
"Get out or I'll kill you right now!"
Hearing the threat and feeling the murderous aura emanating from Christ's body, the two women hurriedly got out of the car and ran scared.
"And you..." Christ pointed to the driver. "Bring the girl in!"
"W--well, sir!"
The driver complied. Carry and seat Liza right next to Christ.
"Excuse me, Master. Shall we take her to the hospital?" asked the driver then.
"Take me back to the hotel."
"B--but what if the girl gets hurt or injury--"
Christ rolled his eyes. "Shut up and just follow my orders!"
"Y-Yes, Master."
The driver immediately drove the luxury vehicle to an expensive hotel in the center of the city.
Along the way, Christ repeatedly looked at the woman who was still unconscious next to him. He fixed the girl's amber hair gently, so that he could see the girl's face clearly.
And somehow, suddenly there was a hint of peaceful feeling that appear in Christ's heart when he accidentally touched Liza's cheek. The peaceful feeling is so confusing but also calming, tickling the chest to his stomach.
Christ did not know the meaning of this strange feeling, but he certainly felt calm in his heart. And surprisingly, the peace now overcame the hunger that gnawed at Christ's stomach. Whereas earlier, Christ felt an extraordinary hunger before he touched Liza.
That's weird. How can a physical touch with that girl make his heart peaceful feeling? But real, Christ is increasingly curious about this woman.
Arriving at the hotel, Christ immediately carried Liza into his bedroom.
Jeremy, who standing by at the door of Christ's room, was surprised when his Master came with an amber-haired woman who had fainted, instead of the two comfort women ordered earlier. And what's even more surprising, his master was smiling grinning as he carried the woman.
'Aren't all the amber women locked up in isolation rooms? Then why did Master bring the amber-haired woman into his bedroom?' mumbled Jeremy curiously.
