Le Château de Paris was already located near Hudson University, and given Lucien's level of interest in Alice, the moment he sensed her presence nearby, he searched around like a hungry wolf catching the scent of meat.
Finally, he stopped at the entrance of Le Château de Paris.
He was sure Alice was inside.
"Tristan, I'll treat you to French cuisine!" Lucien entered the restaurant without looking sideways, as if he had no idea Alice was inside.
"Then I thank you," Tristan, now also a fan of Alice, had finally realized something: as long as he was too close to Alice, his energy simply could not materialize, not even a trace of internal energy could be gathered.
As soon as he entered the restaurant, Tristan sensed something was off. He subconsciously tried to mobilize his internal energy, a simple test, but found it couldn't coalesce at all.
Tristan looked around the restaurant and immediately spotted Alice: "Lucien, Alice is over there."
