Chapter 1230 When in Rome...

"Sis, what are you thinking?" Mei Mei approached Alex with a sad, pouty face. She still couldn't believe that her brother ditched her and went on a space adventure. Perhaps she was being spoilt but she missed her brother. A lot. Would there be a day when all of this constant struggle would end and she would be able to spend some actual time with her family?

Alex hummed absent-mindedly but she then quickly cheered up after seeing the forlorn expression on the little girl's face.

"I am thinking what that idiot is doing now?" Alex slapped her forehead.

"He He. Is my brother's new pet name idiot?" Mei Mei giggled.

"What? No. I am talking about my brother, the idiot. I don't like the fact that he has clung onto Liam and ran away to another world. I hope he acts with sense." Alex sighed.

"Ha Ha Ha. I am sure, Rey will be fine. He only went because Shin Soo's hand is not healed yet."

Alex did not say anything. The dryad had healed Shin Soo's hand, actually regrowing his limb from the stump. It was understandable that Shin Soo needed some time to familiarize himself with his new hand and train a little to make sure that everything ran smoothly.

But she still did not like the fact that her brother ran away. He was her only remaining family so she couldn't help but be nervous.

She also did not like that Liam was away from her once again. Overall, she was having a bad day and it sucked.

"Do you want to head to a dungeon, Mei Mei?" She suddenly turned around to ask. A bad day was a perfect time to pummel some beasts.

Mei Mei understood her sentiments very well and the little girl grinned in response.

Hmmm? Liam raised a brow to which Rey gave a sheepish smile. "I used my charm bro. I didn't create any trouble, I swear."

As the evening time rolled in, the tavern became even livelier with performers giving a spectacular dance show. Later on, surprisingly, the nymphs who had danced were auctioned off to the highest bidders for the night.

This reminded Liam and the rest exactly what kind of a place this was. Under all the finer things, there was a dark undertone. Was everything happening here consensual?

Not just Liam, everyone else felt uncomfortable too as they weren't used to these things but they were in no position to act in a place like this.

Several powerful auras popped up now and then. Clearly, all sorts of beings wandered here in the city.

As per Eldrin's guidelines, no one had used [Inspect] or any other scanning skills on anyone around them. This was considered rude and often resulted in disputes. So the elf had warned them plenty of times to not get curious.

A couple of hours later, the group finally managed to snag a table.

A sultry dryad approached them, offering them some drinks and a menu. She seemed extra attentive to Rey, solving the question of how he managed to snag them free drinks.

"Just give them compliments." Rey proudly instructed his clueless companions. Liam and Lan Deming did not react to his antics and remained stone-faced but the jiggly hunter grinned.

"Heh." Madan laughed. "Bro, watch and learn." He then swiftly left the table and disappeared into the crowd.

"Hey, wait for me." Rey quickly followed him.

Watching the two run away, Liam felt a headache coming. Were these two going to behave?New n0vel chapters are published on
