Chapter 1201 - A Pissed Off Princess

Within an empty region within the massive undergoing parking lot, the witches had Lucy park the vehicles and sit in the car in wait.

But what were they waiting for?

Well, of course, they were waiting for the rest of their sisters to arrive.

And just after a few minutes, they saw the figures of the ladies make their way towards their location.

No doubt, the cabs had probably dipped them out, and they had walked here instead.

Now, with all the crew in one place, one of the watches opened the door for Lucy.

"Get out, and wear your mask. And remember, we are here to help you and not attack you. So for your safety, please, silently follow us."

'Here to help? Why did it seem like you're here for something else instead?' Kora murmured while Lucy placed a face mask on her and carefully unbuckled the baby from her secured seat.

That's right.

She decided to hold Kora, lest these women dared to mention holding Kora, A.K.A, taking Kora hostage.

Number 5 smirked while calmly walking behind Lucy.

She had to admit that Lucy's calmness had impressed her. Tsk. As expected of the traitor's daughter.

Good Goddess. Just seeing Lucy's similar appearance that resembled the traitor's portrait that the witches had, made Number 5's blood boil murderous, as she had been brought up and prone to hate the traitor to the bone for as long as she could remember.

It wasn't just her, as everyone felt the same too.

Lucy's mother's portrait was located within all Witch hideouts and was even used as target practice or as a way to relieve pain or stress.

So seeing Lucy and not instinctively killing her took all of their willpower alone.

Number 5's glance strayed away from Lucy as she then joined the rest of her sisters on looking around vigilantly through the yellowish, dimly lit underground car vigilantly.

They walked through the place until they finally arrived at a metal door at the extreme end of the underground parking garage. 

The door was on the opposite end of the public elevator, almost having the same colour as the walls. Or maybe it was the lighting that made the door look similar to the walls... Who knows.

Additionally, there was yellowish lines/tape around the edges of the doors, and the words: 'Staff Only' were written on it too.

Everyone walked calmly, giving off the impression that they weren't here for any suspicious business.

And when they got very close to the doors, 2 people in full janitor attire popped up from behind 2 vehicles, nodded at them without saying anything, before turning around and opening the door for them.

Accomplices?

Lucy was taken aback for a split second and couldn't help squinting her eyes in scrutiny when she saw this.

Who gave these people access?

Were these accomplices Baymardians or not?

Or were the hostages the janitors and other workers here?

~Dranng!

The large metal door opened, and the ladies gestured Lucy in first: "After you."

"Hmmm," Lucy responded while gripping Kora tighter.

And stepping onto the door of unknown possibilities only made her heart hammer even faster.

Lucy took a quick breath, hoping to calm her knotting stomach.

At the moment, she didn't know it, but her body had already begun trembling ever so slightly.

But when she thought of her identity, as well as the possible hostages and Kora, Lucy didn't want to fail them

With a more stable heart, she passed through the door and was escorted along the hallway on the other side.

And once the last which passed through, the door was then shut slowly but tight.

Like so, the underground garage then returned to its quiet and peaceful ways again.

Everything was going well, accordingly.

But unbeknownst to the witches, not long after they entered, a head poked out from behind one of the parked vehicles.

The car owner parked the vehicle and silently sat in his car with a confused expression on his face.

Wasn't that the princess's vehicle?

....

~Thup. Thup. Thup. Thup. Thup.

The ladies all walked through the hallway for not more than 1 minute before they stepped into what seemed like a lounge area for staff members only.

This 3-story building, from top to bottom, was just a public parking space.

In the daytime, most parking here was free.

Years back, this building wasn't here.

The land was first used to be an open-ground parking lot.

Ow, people could park their vehicles here and head to the stores nearby or any other region.

The parking lot was somewhat similar in structure to airport parking buildings.

Each floor, except the underground floor, was open space and was built to accommodate many vehicles in the future.

From the engineering estimate, as well as population growth, it should be able to accommodate for the next 700 years. 

And if they needed parking space, then they could just build another similar structure somewhere else.

Well, rather than using a single plot of land for just a measly 15~30 parking spots, they decided to build parking buildings that could accommodate 10 or even 20 times the number of cars.

Of course, such buildings were also strategically placed around too.

Building them everywhere sometimes hindered the beauty of a place.

So they only built such parking spaces in bustling areas.

Lucy stepped into the building and was shocked by the scene she saw.

Her hand's quaked and trembled in rage.

"What the hell is this?!"

Her yell was off the roof.

And just one look was enough to tell her mood.

Lucy was pissed!
