Seeing Vine, Gu Ning immediately ducked her head back.
Then, she heard the sound of Vine striding toward her. Even with Alex right beside her, Vine's intimidating presence made her heart pound violently.
Alex blocked Vine, pressing a hand against his chest to stop him from getting closer to Gu Ning. "Take it outside."
"We'll talk here," Vine said, his face cold.
Alex knew he wouldn't be able to get rid of him easily. He turned to the small female pressed against the wall. "Go into the bedroom? Alright?"
Just as Gu Ning was about to nod, she heard Cook cry out, followed by a loud CLATTER and CRASH.
She poked her head out. A pile of bare-chested Beastmen had tumbled into the doorway. Cook was pinned at the bottom, head up, snapping viciously at the air.
"B-Boss!" The young wolves struggled to hold down the frantic Cook. They all looked at Vine. "Did you catch that Mimic Mixed Species?"
Gu Ning stiffened, then silently ducked her head back again.
