The ma.s.sive task of moving out the old furniture and belongings, and arranging the new decor, not so surprisingly, landed on Monkey as usual.

Being the lawyer in the group, he didn't have that many things to take care of, and previously, his primary duty had been to constantly tail Luther, being an invisible back up to him in the event of danger.

Hence, he typically lazed around with lots of free time in his hands. But these cruel brothers of his recently realized the amount of free time he had and started taking undue advantage of his poor soul.

Luther smirked at the poor guy's misfortune and chuckled. "Just send it to the s.h.i.+ industries. I don't want that creep's things here."

Monkey took note of his brother's callous att.i.tude and resolved to take revenge for this blatant injustice.

Monkey just like the others had a soul core of stage 2 and their basic abilities were much more enhanced. So, it did not take long for him to finish up the packing, unpacking, and moving.

After tidying up everything, Monkey fished out his phone with an evil grin. It was payback time!

He quickly called the rest of the group to the newly minted villa and just like that, the romantic evening Luther had planned for, completely collapsed and was replaced by a family dinner.

The key person to this was Runyan. If it was just them, then Luther would have mercilessly driven them away. Since Monkey had also invited Runyan, Luther had no other option but to menacingly compromise.

Luther's lips twitched as he saw the unsightly bunch of thugs howling in the living room.

"Tsk. Tsk. These b.a.s.t.a.r.ds have totally ruined my special moving in day."

He helplessly headed into the kitchen to make the heartless rascals a semi-decent dinner.

Else, even if he by chance, cooked something too good, then these shameless pigs might just settle here and never leave.

Luther entered the kitchen and quickly started chopping up vegetables. He didn't plan to make anything too troublesome.

He was just going to put together some side dishes, coupled with servings of rice and soup.

Hmph. This in itself is too much for those shameless guys.

Unlike his shoddy personal appearance, with his unruly hair always dancing in the wind, nevertheless adding a devilish charm to the man's face, the several fresh vegetables were neatly cut into similar sized chunks with great precision and speed.

A calm rhythmic melody flowed in his tranquil heart, with each chopping sound and each sizzling noise.

Maybe because he had never been at peace with himself, he had never experienced these sorts of things before.

Even something as mundane as cooking a meal could give so much joy and serenity to one's soul.

Though sadly, it was short-lived. Squirrel and Su Lin had both entered this sea of tranquility to rock it from all sides.

They kept handing him various herbs to add in the dishes, and when Luther refused to listen or test it, they directly added things to his dishes haphazardly in the name of improving it.

After a while, Luther couldn't bear it anymore and drove the duo out. Of course, he used two different methods for the two different nuisances.

One involved brutal kicking, while the other involved a.s.sault by a petal of soft kisses and tickles.

After being tickled out, Su Lin fished out her phone and sent a quick message to Mignani. Since everyone was here, she wanted to invite her other friend as well.

But it looked like Mignani was out of town. She noted down Su Lin's new address and the trio, including Runyan, planned to meet outside for dinner, once Mignani returned back to the country.

As Su Lin was chatting with Mignani about her recent a.s.signments, she couldn't help but think about the special person, whom she had conveniently neglected for so long.

After ending the chat with Mignani, she shamelessly sent out a text to that special person.

Surprisingly, after sending out the text, she even booked a cab to pick up that special person and drop him off at the s.h.i.+ villa.

Runyan peered out of curiosity and saw that familiar name, which Su Lin had so mercilessly neglected. She couldn't help but break into a smile.

If there was one person who outrightly dared to yell and shout at her sister, it was this guy!

Su Lin didn't care though. She shamelessly joined the group and played poker with them. 

In fact, she entirely expected the guy to come in, firing bullets and dropping bombs on her. If that guy dares to shout at her, she knew full well how to pacify him!

After a while, a cab screeched out the gates, and a haggard-looking guy strutted out. But contrary to what Su Lin had a.s.sumed, the guy didn't look particularly angry or annoyed.

Rather there was a profound excruciating look of desolation in his face.

w.a.n.g Yu entered the villa and walked right into the party mode living room.

Su Lin noticed the familiar face and grinned shamelessly. But she only got an empty nod in return.

Hmm... She was confused.

"Shouldn't this guy be fuming hot right now? After all, I gave him a bunch of plants and left him to take care of them for months together."

"That too without any sort of communication or whatsoever." Even if he was not really angry with her, he should at least be throwing a tantrum right about now.

Su Lin looked at the guy with a puzzled expression.

He came in. He just casually nodded at her and then started chatting randomly with the guys lounging around.

They all knew him pretty well since w.a.n.g Yu had been hanging around Su Lin for a long time, even before she had met Luther.

In fact, w.a.n.g Yu was the first person who doubted Su Lin's mysterious behavior and her vague background.
