Chapter 21: Three Swords on Two Sides

Georges face was still dripping with rainwater, and his black trench coat was completely soaked.

Though he had an umbrella, it was not much use tonight since the storm was still too big.

He gazed at the towel in Shen Yis hand.

It was the towel Shen Yi was prepared to hand to the little girl But, he handed it to the George with a calm smile, as if it had been prepared specifically for him.Fôll0w current novÊls on n/o/(v)/3l/b((in).(co/m)

Thank you.

Taking the towel, George wiped the rain off his forehead.

Despite the heavy rain, you still came to my cafe, which indicates how much you like my coffee.

After hearing his words, he was silent for a while and stared at him.

It was impossible for the man in front of him not to know that such a big incident happened tonight, and he himself wouldnt come here if he had had no choice.

Even after knowing everything, he still flirted with him.

He placed the photo on the bar counter.

At a glance, Shen Yi knew who it was. It was none other than the little girl, who was currently sitting in the right corner of the caf and enjoying a vanilla latte with a smile on her face.

Although the picture was blurry, the visual effect was too strong.

He was a little confused about why did George suddenly pull out such a photo?

George tried his best to keep his tone as flat as possible: Im an investigator from the Anti-Magic Bureau.

The high-ranking officials say we are responsible for protecting human civilization, but I know best of all that the investigators are just bad luck on the front line.

Anti-Magic Bureau investigator.

Shen Yi silently wrote down two new terms that he had never heard of before.

Habitually, George took out a cigarette from his pocket and wanted to light it, but remembered that this was a cafe, he put it back awkwardly.

He continued, In fact, Im sure you have already known my identity for a long time.

Shen Yi was silent for a while, then smiled and nodded.

Mm.

Indeed.

With a gentle smile, Shen Yi very casually pointed towards the left corner of the cafe.

Sit down over there first, Ill make you a cup of coffee to warm your body, and then well talk about whats going on.

George nodded and walked to the left side of the cafe with a solemn expression.

Immediately Shen Yis smile frozen, damn it!

He remained silent for a few seconds and directly picked up a roll of dry towels, and went to the right side of the caf.

Are you here because of the Order? Shen Yi also wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to gather information. The great Lord of Ashes has been watching you. Tell me all about it.

Aina had already drunk a small half of the vanilla latte in the cup. Upon hearing his words, she looked up with the spoon in her mouth and saw that the handsome shopkeeper was half-bent down and handing over a roll of dry towels.

Thank you.

Putting down the coffee cup, she reached over the towel and began to wipe her wet body.

On his body, there was a burning and thick aura of the god of the world And when he got close to her, the mark on her back began burning hot.

He nodded and went to the bar to make a latte. After brewing, he didnt immediately bring it to George instead, he went to Ainas side.

Before he could open his mouth, Aina said: I dont like the current Chaos Remnant Order, I want to change all of this, but Im not sure, what does the Lord of Ashes think?

Ainas heart was full of struggles and contradictions, she didnt like the current Order, but she also knew that her freedom was limited.

Without the support of God, it was impossible to rely on her own power to influence the Order.

Shen Yi sighed.

I dont want anything to do with this right now, so you better leave here quickly, or it will be troublesome if you meet that man.

Shen Yis heart was complicated, and with a calm smile on his face: Do what you want to do.

No matter what decision you make, the Lord of the Ashes will watch you and make what is destined to succeed.

Aina was shocked for a moment. The messengers of God said so, did it mean that the Lord of Ashes agreed with her idea.

So she nodded excitedly.

Thank you, I should go as well.

She got up from her seat and left the cafe contentedly.

Ill lend you this umbrella first. Shen Yi thoughtfully sent an umbrella, and after hesitation, she thanked and then took it.

It was not until he saw her fade into the darkness that he breathed a sigh.

Fortunately, the cafe had a partition on both sides, so the two could not see each other at all, otherwise, the consequences would have been terrible.

Time waits for no one, so after sending off he came back to the side of George.

Ive been waiting for a long time, something happened just now.

Shen Yi smiled and promised: I promise I will help you find her As long as I have the chance to meet this little girl.

George was a little stunned and his rich experience of more than twenty years made him realize something was wrong.

The child in the picture was blurry, making it difficult to distinguish between men and women, and he had never told the shopkeeper that someone had witnessed the little girl walking across the street.

But he actually knew about it, and indeed he didnt find the wrong person!

George made up his mind and said, Thank you, I just dont know what the price will be for me?

The price? Shen Yi was unsure and said with a smile, Just think of it as you owe me a favor.

George nodded heavily, his face full of solemnity and fear for the future.

Its not a good thing to owe such a mysterious person a favor, and sometimes the process of paying them back is brutal, he would rather pay something more practical.

George decided to redeem the favor with a relic.

Ill bring you a gift thats good enough to offset the favors.

Still uneasy in his heart, he slowly got up from the coffee shop and opened the black umbrella, heading out into the dark rainy night from the cafe.

Shen Yi calmly picked up the used coffee cup, returned to the back of the bar, and sat down on the chair.

He covered his temples and closed his eyes.

It must have been an illusion to always feel as if I have become the center of the vortex.

Just as he was easing out from his jitters, a familiar vibration began again in the cafe.

Can this day get any better?
