A two-floor house that appeared to be falling apart was what faced Neo. Most of the paint on the walls of the house had peeled off and mold was growing on the pillars.
Neo had a strange expression on his face as he scrutinized the building. This place was too neglected to be used as a site for 'important business', he thought.
Helios stopped pushing Neo forward using his abilities. He turned briefly and said, "I'll be right back."
Neo replied with a huff, glaring at Helios.
Helios ignored his hostility and walked to the front of the house, then knocked inconspicuously. The door opened half a minute later and a small-framed woman stepped out of the house.
She was dressed in a mutli-colored floral gown and her features were a bit aged. She was probably in her late thirties or early forties. But her neat appearance wasn't what shocked Neo.
"Ah, thanks for the trouble," she said to Helios politely, accepting the parcel.
Helios threw a casual smile her way. "It's no big deal."
