Earthling in Uncharted Dimensions

Chapter 45: Mo family (1)

The recruits lined up and saluted before dispersing. The descending darkness made torches to open their eyes.

Suyin advised Ian to take Lee to an inn to rest. She recommended to select the nearest. Without sparing a glance, she left the ground. After making sure that the brigadier had left, through the Map, Lee stood up on his feet.

"Let's get some rest."

Lee took initiative to head out. Outside, their horses were obediently waiting for them right where they left them.

The streets had gone dark and the lanterns smiled at the passersby. The artificial light gave an entirely new view to the streets. An unexpected interruption arose.

[Lee, I see a familiar name called 'Mo family' on an inn's name in the Map. It's about 130 meters right and 40 meters left. I've marked the building in the Map. Take a look!]

D was Lee's silent partner in crime. He looks out for hostile and friendly beings as well as scan the surroundings thoroughly. He had an additional necessity - to find anyone who he can remember. He needed to know what's the situation in Intellus' after his disappearance.

Lee found the building marked with a blinking beacon in the Map. Lee quietly notified Sera and Ian.

"My partner An Fenfang has an enemy in this city. They are heard to own an inn here. Let's stay there. I need to know well about those that hurt my love!"

The words of Lee made him look like he's familiar with this city. But Ian's heart told otherwise. If he was familiar with the city, he wouldn't have gawked at the notion at the entrance. Ian glanced at Shi Sera and agreed with Lee. Lee took initiative to guide them to the inn. Seeing that the destination is Mo family's inn, Ian reminded.

"This inn belongs to the Mo family. They have many establishments in any cities. The exact enemies might not be residing in this city."

"But I can get a piece of info as to where they might be!"

Lee said in a suggestive tone. His words reflected a stubbornness to find the culprits. The horses came to a halt at the doors of the 'Mo family Inn'.

Giving the reins to the stableman, the trio headed inside. The luxurious room gave off a comfort feeling. The incense scent smelled harmless, but D instantly recognised it's underlying dirty trick to attract customers. A seductively gorgeous young woman with large assets wearing a tight red dress was standing at the desk. Shi Sera exhibited her feminine jealousy upon her appearance while Ian felt his heart beating faster. Lee was calm and composed, because he knew that this was enemy waters.

"Good evening sir. How may I help you??"

Her sugar coated words were enough to woo any ordinary male customers, but Lee was ready for it. His steel hard Intelligence and Resolve saw through her act. His voice was strong and serious, with not even a tinge of smile.

"Best three rooms for one night, with meals."

The receptionist confirmed that Lee is not her average customer. She immediately took out three keys and answered Lee.

"Three V.I.P rooms for one night, with meals is 36 gold coins, sir."

The woman was expecting him to back down with this ridiculously high price. But Lee simply placed 36 gold coins with a slight thud. She was stunned by his action, and could only put up a fake smile. She believed that Lee is some sort of big-shot from his strange attire and show-off.

Lee picked the keys and asked-

"The meals?!"

"They will be delivered to your rooms, sir."

She replied like a pre-recorded tape. Her reply was fast, and Lee guessed that this might be the treatment rich usually gets. Lee nodded gently and turned around and gave the keys to Ian and Shi Sera. The keys had a pendant on which the room location is imprinted.

'3rd floor, 3rd to the right. D, keep an eye on the surroundings.'

[Already.]

The receptionist guided them to the stairs to go up. Her professional smile felt irritating to Lee, but he didn't express it. They silently climbed and Lee silently glanced at the receptionist. She was running to a door at the opposite side of the wall. The door was concealed well.

----------------

3rd floor.

Ian, Shi Sera and Lee had entered their respective rooms. The rooms had a large and luxurious bed with super-comfortness. The lighting was beautifully crafted. The bath and toilet settings were the best he ever saw. After taking his time to inspect the room's every nook and corner, Lee discovered 3 runes drawn in papers hidden at different parts of the room, one beneath the bed, one in the bath and the other inside the rug at the middle of the room. D analysed the structure of runes and notified Lee that these are sound-transmission runes. He also added that these things are usually present in upper-class rooms as many confidential matters are discussed by the wealthy and they don't rent normal rooms.

=====

8 P.M.

1620 Essence harvested.

Lee was standing in his denim jeans as his jacket and tee was lying on the bed. His perfectly toned body was a feast for any woman. When the reminder came up, a knock was heard on the door along with a sweet voice-

"Sir, the meal has arrived."

Lee walked towards the door and opened it. A young girl with mature assets in a navy blue chinese dress stood before him. Her lavish body and seductive smile was enough for any commoner to pounce on her. She held a plate on her hands. There was a bowl of soup and a delicious-looking meat dish.

[Lee, the perfume applied on her is a strong male aphrodisiac. She's not here with a good intention.]

Lee extended his arms and took the plate from her hands. She was confused by his action as the door was immediately closed. She stood there like a statue.

'My make-up was perfect. The perfume was the strongest I had. Still, I failed?! Unforgivable!!'

The girl was a bitch at heart. She intentionally hooks on the wealthy people's interest with her seductiveness, and this was the first time she has failed. It gave a big blow to her confidence.

She immediately strodded to the stairs. The receptionist was waiting for her. Upon seeing her, young girl spoke-

"He's not an average customer. He didn't fall for me. From his physique he's like a god. I think we can notify the family elder."

The receptionist nodded and descended the stairs with the girl behind her. Lee was watching these through his Map. D gave a summary that they're plan to woo him has failed and they'll come up with something else. He also added to be vigilant.

'D, scan the food.'

[Scan complete. Nothing suspicious. It's clear.]

Sitting on the chair, Lee slowly chewed on the meat dish and slowly drank the soup. The taste was heavenly, but the experience and explanation he can derive from the incidents till now, tells him that the whole inn is a test.

He didn't dwell on their ulterior intentions, so he went to sleep early. By 8.40, he had already fallen asleep. At the same time, a message was relayed to the Mo family in the city of Festa.
