Chapter 569: Getting Ready, Spy Car, and Mysterious Follower
Pedrarruna Manor, Elffire City.
6 AM, Saturday, January 30th.
Differently from other Saturdays, that morning Theo didn't wake up at 5 AM for his morning workout with the girls. That's because they decided to cancel the training due to their trip to the mountains.
That's why Theo was sound asleep in his bedroom and he only woke up when his alarm went off at 6 o'clock.
Last night he fell asleep as soon as he arrived from his shift at the restaurant, so he didn't find it difficult waking up when he heard the alarm sound.
5 minutes later, Theo left his bathroom and headed outside. He had a bunch of things to do before leaving. So, he didn't waste much time before waking up Aurora and starting to get things done.
Because of how busy he was during the week, he didn't even have the time to bag his clothes and things for the trip.
Just like that, for the next 30 minutes, Theo and Aurora spent organizing their things. And with Sylph's help, they were able to load all of their things into the jeep.
It was only then that Theo was able to cook breakfast for them. He didn't cook any fancy things, he prepared a simple and nutritious breakfast.
The siblings talked about random things as they had their simple breakfast.
"Do you have everything prepared for the start of your school year on Monday?" Theo asked.
"Yeah, most of it. I only have to buy some small things. Nothing too important." Aurora replied.
"Hmm, we can go out to buy these things tomorrow night after we arrive from the mountains." Theo suggested.
Aurora nodded in agreement as she said, "That sounds good. We can go on a shopping adventure." She smiled mischievously.
Theo laughed as he took a sip of his coffee.
Just like that, a few minutes later, they finished eating their breakfast. So, they each went into their bedrooms to get ready to go out.
Theo took a long steamy shower before getting out of the bathroom wearing only a towel around his hips.
He looked into his closet as he thought it over which clothes he should wear.
He already saw the weather outside, and he saw that it was extremely cold and with a probability of snowfall. So, he should put on some warm clothes.
After much doubt and changes, 15 minutes later, Theo exited his bedroom wearing black winter boots, blue winter pants, a white long-sleeved shirt, a heavy brown jacket, and a red Uzumaki beanie on his head.
Although the chances of anything going wrong during the trip were near impossible, Theo didn't like leaving things to chance. That's why he prepared for the worst possible scenarios.
Getting stuck at the mountain, getting hurt, and all other possible accidents that a trip to the mountains could proportionate.
"Oh, have you completed the modification of the jeep?" Theo asked after he received the First-Aid Kit and Survival Kit from one of Sylph's drones.
"Yes, master!" Sylph's cheerful voice replied, "Stand-alone internet and phone connection attached to the Jeep is successful. Even if the car is stranded in a place without any phone and internet connection, I still will be able to access these connections through the satellite. I also was successful in modifying one of my drones to attach to the car. This drone is smaller than the others, but it has all the important functions in it like surveillance, hacking, stealth, and others. I did the same operation to the other cars as well."
Theo sighed in relief when he heard that.
When he arrived from the Kokoro Islands, Theo was able to see how practical drone surveillance could be. So, he asked Sylph to design modifications to all cars that he owned.
With Sylph's current intelligence and computer power, this task was a piece of cake. And after weeks of modifications, this was the result. It could be said that the cars that Theo owned were almost spy cars as they had all kinds of unseen features.
Theo was really glad that he gave this task to Sylph as this modified car would be extremely useful during their trip to the mountains.
Plus, the car that Cristina, Aurora's driver, used to drive Aurora around the town had the same modifications. Which meant that Aurora was much more protected than she was before.
Theo prioritized Aurora's safety so much that sometimes it seemed a little too excessive. But he would rather be labeled like that than let anything happen to her.
Theo had just finished closing the trunk when Aurora, Ayia, and Shizuka entered the garage.
Curiously, Sylph announced that 3 cars had arrived at the front gate.
"I guess it's them." Theo said as Aurora placed her last things into the car.
"Yeah, it's almost the time we agreed to leave." Ayia commented.
In the next 5 minutes, Sylph announced that everyone had arrived at the front gate and were
waiting for them.
So, after Theo and Aurora bade farewell to Maya, they finally got into the car.
Theo and Aurora left the garage in their car and Ayia and Shizuka followed them in their own
car.
In such a way, a few minutes later, everyone was on their way to the mountains!
What this trip to the mountains would have reserved for them?
