Chapter 132:This Is Not Good News
"Harriman Manor."
"Where's Charlotte? Why hasn't he come for dinner?" Diana sat at the dining table, noticing only one set of cutlery, and looked at Agatha, asking.
"The doctor said he wanted to stay at the clinic. After dropping off Eileen this afternoon, he went back there," Agatha answered softly.
"He doesn't seem to be afraid of the Red Moon Night at all."
"Do you think he's gone off to Amman Street for some fun?" Diana furrowed her brows.
Agatha's eyes lit up, nodding. "Yes, yes! He always goes to Amman Street for some fun before and after the Red Moon Night, right?"
Although it was depicted in a comic, she knew that it was indeed Charlotte's regular activity every month.
The money earned by the clinic each month, after paying the rent and daily expenses, would be squandered in Amman Street during these days.
With just his charm and wit, he won the affection of the ladies.
"By the way, miss, Eileen gave me some snacks earlier, said the doctor made them himself, and I haven't tried them yet. Would you like to taste them?" Agatha said.
"Made by him? He doesn't seem like someone who can cook..."
Diana's expression showed some distaste, but she still said, "Bring it here for me to see."
Agatha quickly walked to the side and brought back an exquisite small plate, piled high with bright red dried chili pieces.
"Dried stir-fried chili peppers?" Diana couldn't help but laugh.
Agatha hurriedly said, "No, flip it over, there's a rabbit."
Diana picked up the fork and moved the chili pieces aside, indeed finding a piece of shiny red rabbit meat beneath the pile of dried chili, a small piece with slightly charred skin, looking quite enticing.
"It unexpectedly looks good. However, the preparation is a bit strange. I wonder how it tastes." Diana picked up the piece of rabbit meat with her fork, hesitated for a moment, and then fed it into her mouth.
The rabbit meat was cold, and with one bite, the numbing spiciness and rich meaty aroma blended, like fireworks bursting on her taste buds, an unexpected explosion of deliciousness that made her eyes brighten.
It was so wild, just like a pair of big hands, roughly ripping off her skirt and taking advantage.
The spicy and wonderful experience made her involuntarily indulge in it.
She seemed to see Charlotte standing in front of the stove, wearing only an apron, stirring a pot of chili peppers and rabbit meat. Sweat dripped from his cheek and fell onto his well-defined chest muscles, before slowly trickling down his sturdy abdomen...
Oh my...
Rip!
Diana's skirt tore open a little.
"Miss... Miss, are you all right?" Agatha was shocked, hastily helping to grab the torn clothes.
"Why did the clothes suddenly burst open? Did the doctor put something in the food?"
"Ah... I'm fine, perhaps I've gained a bit of weight recently." Diana's cheeks blushed, cursing Charlotte inwardly, but still tried to maintain composure on her face.
Going to dangerous places was not in his character.
With half a bottle of wine in her belly, only some chili pepper remains on the plate of cold rabbit, but the street outside is still quiet.
The captivating crimson moonlight, combined with the sleepy feeling, made Charlotte's eyelids begin to fight.
With a flick of her hand, a black stone appeared.
Unfortunately, there was only the Red Moon organization group, and the former car club was nowhere to be found.
Compared to the bosses in the Red Moon group, those treasure trove friends who had a massive collection of adult content were truly responsive; if you asked for something, they would answer with both images and links, they were indeed a refreshing presence in this indifferent world.
However, the group was quite lively tonight.
[Light Chaser: The stars are dim tonight, and the Red Moon's light is extremely strong. There may be major catastrophic-level beast tides in some places.]
[Merchant: Just received news that six small cities in the southwest of the Lance Empire have been wiped out by beast tides, and several beast tides have converged into a large-scale one heading towards Taman City.]
[Technician: Taman City is the number one city in the southwest of the Lance Empire, with tens of thousands of defenders, as well as numerous mercenaries and adventurers. It shouldn't be so easy to be breached. On the other hand, the other small cities in the southwest, confronting large-scale beast tides, I'm afraid...]
Charlotte sighed in his heart; the southwest of the Lance Empire was the empire's granary, with a dense population.
Apart from the super-large cities like Taman, there were also many small cities with a population of tens of thousands.
Tonight, he wondered how many people would lose their lives in the beast tide.
But the merchant's information was indeed well-informed; the incident had just happened, and he already knew about it.
[Night Watchman: I have arrived outside Taman City, and the scale of the beast tide is not small. The small cities are defenseless, and I can only manage to protect two or three cities.]
Charlotte's eyes brightened, not expecting the Night Watchman to arrive at Taman City so quickly. But thinking that he was a top-tier powerhouse of the Dragon clan, he understood.
If you had wings, you could fly faster.
Moreover, he alone had to guard three cities, his strength was terrifying!
The Night Watchman was a dragon, yet he was defending the Lance Empire. Wasn't this the sentiment of the Red Moon organization?
Charlotte pondered with some thoughts, recalling the Judicator who was injured and killed while trying to remove the beast lairs around Calva City. Wasn't he also such a person?
[Witch: Boss, you're mighty! The sea monsters have gone crazy as well. There's already a big shark guarding outside my home, and I can't even take care of myself.]
Charlotte was surprised to learn that there were sea monsters as well, but he felt the urgency from the witch. If the Black Stone had a camera function, he would probably risk her life to take a couple of pictures of the big shark and share them with everyone.
[Hermit: The situation in the Elf Forest is not good either. The scale of the beast tide is larger than usual. I need to stay behind and oversee the defense.]
[Shepherd: The situation in Calva is not good either. The beast tide from the wilderness this time is indeed larger than usual, but fortunately, the Judicator has just cleared it up, and the number of beast leaders has decreased significantly. Calva's protective barrier should be able to withstand it.]
Charlotte's heart sank; the shepherd's statement was related to his interests.
Calva was adjacent to the Abyss, and if the beast tide was larger than usual, it meant that the chances of monsters breaking into the Abyss would increase significantly.
This is not good news.
