Witches generally preferred secluded environments.
The gloomy, hazy weather was ideal for them.
"At noon, Alvin delivered four Monster Treasure Chests. Every single one is very heavy."
"I've already moved them all to the basement."
Vanessa reported on the day's events at the manor.
"Let's go. I haven't had dinner yet. I'm starving after a full day of meetings!"
His gaze swept over the mist-shrouded manor, his peripheral vision catching the silhouettes of figures who thought themselves well-hidden.
Zorn said slowly.
"Mm… I'll have Beretta prepare some of your favorite dishes right away."
Vanessa replied hurriedly.
As he led Vanessa toward the manor.
Deep within the hazy gray mist, a few faint figures stood in the shadows, silently watching the manor's every move.
…
After dinner.
Zorn went down to the basement.
