Chapter 1066 Oozing charisma
Gerard, who moments ago had been struggling with the fact that he was not wearing a tie of a blazer, forgot his troubles at the sight of Lilith.
"My apologies for making you wait," he said, as he gave a light bow to show his sincerity. "I'll make it up to you in our next race by waiting at the finish line."
Lex's eyebrows shot up! So aggressive! Clearly this man had no shyness issue at all, so what did he need a wingman for? Shaking his head, Lex got off the cart as well and looked over to the other lady who was supposed to be his date.
Unlike Lilith, who was dressed in black and had red hair, his date was wearing a long, red dress and had pitch black hair that had been tied up in a bun. Her fair skin was free of any blemishes, and she looked quite enchanting in her dress. More importantly, he could tell by the way she stood that she was strong...
No, Lex! Don't assess the battle capabilities of your date!
It was something he had to remind himself. He would have tried to scan her, but his system was once again offline since he had absorbed the newfound system just a short while ago to continue the repairing process - not that he needed it. He could have recalled any information he wished to if only he focused on it. But he chose not to do that.
He stepped up beside Gerard, who had taken Liliths hand and kissed it. My goodness, the man was oozing charisma.
"Ah, Lilith, allow me to introduce you. This is my friend, Lex. Do not let appearances fool you, he only became like this after being crushed by the void while rescuing me and a few others. He should return to his normal self soon enough."
"Lex, it's a pleasure to meet you," Lilith said with an admiring smile. "This is my childhood friend, Cindy."
Cindy and Lex quickly caught up with the two lovebirds, who hadn't noticed that they had fallen back at all.
"A welcoming gift is the opening move in a courtship. It is supposed to be a symbolic representation of the relationship two will share if it comes to blood. Normally, great care is taken to address each aspect of it, as its insinuation can be extremely nuanced. But to leave such a thing in the hands of fate, it is incredibly bold. I am looking forward to seeing what you fish out."
"How exciting. Unfortunately, the Fishing well is technically not working in its full capacity since everything in the Inn is still getting used to the new realm. But, in preparation for this, I had someone commission a replica of the well. We'll have to see how it works out."
Indeed, all the Inn's services besides the rooms were not really working, so Gerard had requested John and Xeon to help him in this endeavor. They had created a well for him to use, though how well it worked was still to be seen.
The fact that the services weren't working was also one of the reasons Lex hadn't been in a rush to ask Master Haraash to go to the chamber of secrets.
Gerard stepped forward, reluctantly pulling his hand from Liliths, and grabbed the fishing rod that was placed beside it. He activated the well, and then, without an ounce of nervousness or hesitation, threw in the hook.
"I have a small confession Lilith," Gerard said as he continued to roll open the reel, letting the hook sink lower into the well. "This well might not be as random as I originally let on. After all, how can someone recreate the work of the Innkeeper?"
"Oh? So then you did plan what you'll be giving me?"
"Well, I selected a few options. Which one comes out is still up to chance," he said, then suddenly yanked the line, pulling out the entire reel in one smooth motion. At the end of it, in the hook, were car keys.
