Upon hearing Jason’s question, the people around him were taken aback.
That included the female pastry chef herself, who also paused in bewilderment.
Then, the female pastry chef spoke with a hint of confusion,
“I’m Giselle, aren’t I?”
The frown on Jason’s face deepened.
Just a moment ago, he could confirm that the scent of the female pastry chef had changed slightly, like a steamy sensation similar to boiling fish, but now she had reverted to her original sweet scent.
Jason’s nostrils flared instinctively.
By her side, a flash of anger crossed Edward’s face.
He had never thought he would encounter Ada here.
“Damn bastard, truly deserves to die!”
“Ordinary stimulation is no longer enough to please him.”
“He is in pursuit of more thrilling behaviors.”
“Yet in his instincts, he still carries a hint of rational caution.”
“So, the identity of this lady operator fits that very well.”
“Close to the police, yet not a real officer.”
The pastry chef spoke slowly.
Listening to the pastry chef, Edward couldn’t help but nod slightly.
Standing by, Griffin looked at the nodding Edward as if he were looking at a fool.
Hey, hey, aren’t you guys curious about how a pastry chef knows all this?
Don’t you have any reaction?
Griffin thought to himself but didn’t want to stay here a moment longer.
It’s bad enough there’s one terrifying man.
But now there’s a dangerous woman as well.
Especially since these two are together.
It’s really too dangerous.
Better to take my leave.
Thinking this, Griffin gave Jason and the others a polite bow.
“Ladies and gentlemen, it was a pleasant yet brief evening.”
“But all things must come to an end.”
“We shall meet again in the future.”
As he spoke, Griffin retreated to the edge of the hall.
Upon noticing that no one was paying attention to him, the self-proclaimed raconteur turned and ran.
He already smelled the sweet scent of freedom!
He couldn’t wait any longer.
He never wanted to see the likes of Jason and Giselle again.
He wanted to leave this city.
He wanted to go to the warm south.
Thinking this, Griffin didn’t watch his step.
He happened to step into a crater formed from an explosion, and then, with inertia, his body swayed.
After a crisp sound, Griffin fell to the ground, his ankle rapidly swelling.
Griffin cried out in pain.
Edward frowned looking at Griffin.
He was beginning to think there was something wrong with his source of information.
How could a guy possibly survive in the ‘gutters’?
Must be some sort of imposter or swindler, right?
Edward thought and said to Bansey beside him:
“Urge the reinforcements.”
“And get this guy an ambulance.”
“Cuff him, because we’re going to thoroughly check for any fraud cases or the like.”
Bansey executed Edward’s commands with a hundred percent precision.
Directly, he handcuffed the sprained Griffin.
“Aren’t we on the same side?”
“I showed you the way!”
“I made a contribution!”
Griffin shouted again.
Unfortunately, just like before, no one paid any attention to him.
Edward and Bansey took the opportunity to Visit NovelHub for more amazing novels and chapters.
Jason was also searching.
But unlike Edward, he was searching for ‘food’ evidence.
He needed to confirm whether the ‘Pusak Elf’ was parasitic or born.
The pastry chef just followed behind Jason, her face still showing confusion.
Unfortunately, neither Edward nor Jason found anything.
Jason was prepared for this.
But Edward just frowned.
The next moment, what made Edward frown even more was that a group of reporters had somehow appeared here.
As soon as the reporters showed up, they began snapping photos of the place.
Edward and Bansey instinctively dodged.
Griffin, however, tried to hide his handcuffs while offering a smile.
He wanted to stand in the most dazzling spot.
He wanted to strike the coolest pose.
To be in the newspaper, yay!
