Chapter 368: Not Compatible

The first thing that Lyca did when she woke up the next day was to jog.

Kidding.

The first thing that she did after waking up is, of course, going back to sleep. Who wakes up at six in the morning? She grumbled and when she woke up again, it was already eight in the morning. Smiling, Lyca left her bed, took a bath, then went out of her room to have her breakfast.

Shen Qui was no longer in the bed when she woke up. She couldn't help but wonder if he even slept last night. If he didn't, she should help him relax later, right? As a wife, this is her duty.

"Oh? You know how to cook?" Lyca looked at Chu Nan who was wearing an apron. Cleo followed him out of the kitchen.

"He asked me to teach him how to make some breakfast," Cleo explained. "I taught him how to fry ham and toast bread." Sarcasm laced her voice. "I wanted to watch and yet this man wanted me to cook. How horrible."

"Did something happen last night?" Lyca ignored the two. Her eyes were already on the table. "And where is my husband?"

"Shen Qui was having breakfast with the other companies. He, along with the executives joined the breakfast banquet."

"A banquet?" How come no one invited her? As if sensing her thoughts, Cleo said. "He asked me to accompany you to go there when you wake up."

"Then, we should go right now! I am hungry." Lyca said. "Please lead the way."

"You're not even going to asked about last night?" Chu Nan walked next to Lyca.

"What happened last night?"

"…" Because of the event, Chu Nan couldn't sleep and even lost his appetite. He couldn't understand his emotions. He was scared and excited and nervous. In fact, this was the first time that he felt something like this. How come Lyca was different? She should be more nervous since she trained them, right? "Your people hung a few people of Dal Valley. Then… then they strip them naked."

"Oh?" Lyca chuckled. "Interesting. They were trying to provoke Dal Valley?"

"Exactly. I think it was stupid." Chu Nan said. Last night, they got lucky because they used some tricks. The enemies already discovered that you can't use night visions to spot them. They won't be that lucky next time.

"I actually think it was smart," Cleo chimed in. "Think about it, what would happen if the people from Dal Valley would get angry?"

"They would focus on Shen Security." Chu Nan answered.

"Eh? How come you are so stupid? Are you sure you are a cop?"

Chu Nan was about to start arguing with her when he heard Lyca's voice. "Angry people make mistakes. They would take it as a personal attack and be blinded by rage."

Chu Nan turned silent. "I arrest criminals. I am not some rogue who knows how to antagonize people." He said.

"Still, your brain is still poor compared to ours, ah," Cleo said. Her words immediately infuriated Chu Nan.

"By the way, how many people were injured last night?" Lyca asked.

"Overall? Hmmm… Shen Security's people were sleeping, so no one got injured. Long Company had twelve injured people as they fought against Dal Valley for the first tower. Dal Valley, including the right that our people took care of, they should have sixteen or seventeen injured people."

"That's good."

"Oh, by the way, Munan is coming with Miss Rue." Chu Nan said. "He said he is going to watch."

"Miss Rue?" Lyca lifted an eyebrow.

"The treatment is showing positive signs. Grandfather is really happy, and he started addressing her Miss Rue." Chu Nan explained.

"Oh! That's good."

After a few minutes, the trio arrived in the hall where they had the dinner banquet. This was the same hall where the food poisoning happened.

"Miss Huang!"

Lyca ignored the woman's voice. Talking to the housewives wouldn't do her hungry self any good. Lyca pretended not to hear the calls of those women as she walked towards the table with various dishes. Smiling, she started gathering food and even instructed Cleo and Chu Nan to carry the rest for her. She was too hungry ah, she needed the energy to function.

"Miss Huang… I am wondering if you heard us?"

Lyca was already walking towards Shen Qui's table. Her husband also saw her and is walking towards her, with a gentle smile on his face.

"I am busy, please call me again," she muttered. Seeing the woman about to explode, Cleo quickly added.

"Miss Rosendale, please pardon Miss Huang, she had a stomachache last night. She is trying to recover her strength. Please excuse us." Cleo faked a smile. Obviously, Lyca was already talking to her husband a few steps ahead of her.

"What an abnormal woman."

She heard Chu Nan muttered.

"Social gatherings like these are good for her and her company," he added.

Cleo didn't say anything. What was the use of arguing against someone who already made up his mind? Half of her already sympathize with Chu Nan simply because he was too stupid. Social interactions and fakery are only required for people who rely on connections to succeed in life. Lyca doesn't need that.

Last night, they already showed the ability of their armor. Even without faking their personality, they would still gain some clients in the future. "Mr. Chu, some people who had real abilities, don't rely on things like that." She said in a low voice before she walked towards Lyca and Shen Qui.

Chu Nan frowned. Growing up, connections were something very important to him. However, this world is different from his world in Ath Province. He stared at Cleo's back and wondered if one day he would be able to interact properly with people like them.

Ah, nevermind! His grandfather told him that he can leave after learning. After this competition, Chu Nan already decided to leave. He and everyone else in Shen Security are simply not compatible.
