Chapter 191 Lorne: I Want to Escape Bayam
Lorne and Katarina, each with their own ulterior motives, continued their shopping spree.
At dusk, they went to that upscale restaurant again and had a sumptuous dinner.
This time, it was Katarina who paid, and Lorne didn't refuse.
"It seems you've finally accepted me, sir." Katarina looked at him with a smile.
Lorne simply nodded without saying a word.
After all, it's not a bad thing for a beautiful woman to treat you to dinner.
Of course, if he knew that the cost of this meal was actually paid for with "handling fees" obtained by exchanging the extraordinary materials that originally belonged to him, perhaps he wouldn't be so nonchalant.
After dinner, a hint of reluctance appeared on Katarina's face, but she still took the initiative to say that it would be time to call it a day.
Now it was Lorne's turn to try and persuade him to stay.
He didn't yet know what the hidden threat was, but his intuition told him that staying by this woman's side might be safer.
"Although it was fun shopping with you," Katarina seemed to read his mind and said in a slightly tired voice, "I'm also a little tired."
We can arrange to meet here again tomorrow, or you can choose to come back to the hotel with me~
Upon hearing this, Lorne's lips twitched slightly.
If I really go like this, I'm afraid I'll lose my chastity!
Furthermore, I can't guarantee that she doesn't have any ill intentions towards me.
well·..
Seeing this, Lorne had no choice but to say goodbye and turn to leave.
Watching Lorne's hurried departure, Katarina covered her mouth and chuckled softly.
Sure enough, the little guy really enjoyed shopping; he even felt younger.
This is what love should be like!
But a wonderful date can't always end with a lingering regret.
"We broke up—"
Bernadette, who had been following the other person all afternoon, saw that the two had finally separated and, without hesitation, immediately took action.
At that moment, Lorne was taking a shortcut, turning into a dimly lit alley.
A phantom pea vine appeared out of thin air and blocked his way.
Bernadette's figure appeared above Lorne.
"What?"
"Who are you!" Lorne's expression remained calm, but despite the ring, a hint of panic still flashed across his face.
"I'm here to save you," Bernadette replied in a calm but compassionate tone.
"Save me?" A hint of doubt flashed in Lorne's eyes.
"You've been deceived by the witch," Bernadette said succinctly. "Time is running out. I'll explain the details to you later."
As he spoke, the pea vine seemed to come alive and coiled towards Lorne.
However, the vine had only extended halfway when a strange layer of white frost suddenly condensed on its surface, and then with a "crack," it shattered into countless ice crystals in mid-air.
this-
A hint of mistake flashed in both of their eyes.
Seeing this, Lorne didn't hesitate for long. He immediately turned around and chose to retreat without looking back!
Although he didn't know exactly what was going on, he was certain that the woman in front of him was far more powerful than himself.
In any case, it's definitely not a good thing that an extraordinary person whose strength far surpasses his own wants to capture him the moment they meet.
A decisive retreat is the right solution.
Seeing Lorne's retreating figure, Bernadette did not choose to give chase.
She slowly turned around and looked at the other end of the alley.
"Oh my, ma'am," Katarina said, leaning against the wall with a playful smile, "peeping on other people's love lives is quite impolite, you know."
"Especially—trying to forcibly take someone's partner away. That's an absolutely unforgivable sin."
She looked Bernadette up and down a few times, and said in a surprised tone:
"Oh, you're the 'Mysterious Queen'?"
"Should I feel honored that you know me?" Bernadette did not deny it and directly acknowledged her identity.
"What are you doing here?" Katarina asked.
"I want to talk to that gentleman from earlier about something."
"No." Katarina shook her head. "I think you're interfering with our relationship."
the other side.
Lorne traversed most of Bayam's city in one breath, only daring to stop and hide in a deserted corner, panting heavily, after reaching the other side of the city.
He felt that the aura of "disaster" that had been lingering in his heart seemed to be slowly dissipating as the distance increased.
But he was not at ease, for he had been targeted by an unknown powerful figure.
Damn it! Why—why has another incredibly powerful expert suddenly appeared to cause me trouble?
Are they members of the Rose School? Or some other faction?
And that woman, the so-called "witch" she mentioned.
Lorne's mind was in complete disarray. He lacked sufficient information to make any reasonable deductions about the current chaotic situation.
He took a penny from his pocket and tossed it high into the air.
The coin tumbled in the air and finally landed heads up in his palm.
This means that he is currently safe.
No, no way! Bayam is absolutely not a place I can stay!
Although he still didn't understand the specifics, one thing was absolutely certain: staying in this godforsaken place would only lead to unimaginable trouble.
I must leave immediately!
After calming himself down, Lorne took out the "3 of Diamonds" card from his pocket.
With the infusion of spiritual energy, a small, simple wooden box appeared before his eyes.
He hadn't used this "secret weapon box" much since his time in Tingen.
After all, many of the unexpected events he encountered back then occurred because he had listened to its advice.
Using it rashly might lead to even bigger trouble.
But now, under these special circumstances, it's not unreasonable to bring it up as a reference.
He looked at the box and asked:
What should I do now to get out of this situation unscathed?
A moment later, the wooden box trembled slightly. Lorne opened it, and a small note suddenly appeared inside.
The note had one word written on it: "Leave."
"Leaving? Does that mean I have to leave Bayam immediately?" Lorne pondered.
After a brief deliberation, Lorne put the wooden box back into his personal space.
He then changed direction and headed toward Wiz's Antique Shop.
Three thousand, three thousand pounds it is. Consider it a loss to avoid further trouble.
The bar warehouse that Lorne previously destroyed.
A man with sunken eyes and pale skin, wearing an old tricorn hat, came here.
"The target is currently in a vulnerable state; you must seize this opportunity to capture him alive. Remember, you must not alert the Storm Church, nor allow the target to fall into their hands."
Recalling the mission requirements, he sniffed the bloody smell in the air.
"That piece of trash, Maivity, died right here."
