Translator: Simple MTL Editor: Simple MTL
From the rearview mirror, Lucy looked at Lugh, who was sitting in the back row and resting with his eyes closed. Lucy felt much more at ease.
Lugh felt Lucy’s gaze. “Do you have any brothers and sisters in your family?”
“Yes, I have a sister and a younger brother.”
When she said this, Lucy’s face revealed a gentle expression.
“Mhm.”
“Who makes the decisions in your family?”
“Right now, the head of the family is my uncle, but my uncle is more obedient to my father...”
“Mhm.”
Lucy’s father was a King-tier powerhouse after all, and he was still in charge of the Pavilion of Treasures.
Even if he wasn’t the head of the Lucy family, he still had a lot of influence within the family.
The military vehicle slowly stopped in front of a large door.
There were two Gold-tier Beast Masters guarding the door.
The door was a large black metal door. From the outside, one could see the spacious lawn and rows of luxurious buildings behind the metal door.
The villa that Lugh lived in was far from the size of Lucy’s house.
However, Lugh didn’t mind. A family of three living in such a large villa complex was simply looking for trouble.
Lucy took a deep breath and quickly opened the car door. She got out of the car and helped Lugh open the back door.
Lugh nodded and got out of the car.
At this moment, the iron door opened.
Two Gold-tier Beast Masters walked out of the door. When they saw Lucy, their faces were filled with joy.
“Miss Lucy, you’re back.”
“Mhm.” Lucy nodded. “Is my father at home?”
“The Second Master happened to be at home today. The Second and Third Young Masters have just returned from school.”
“That’s good.” Lucy turned her head and said to Lugh, “Major, please come in. It just so happens that my father is still at home.”
Lugh smiled. “Mhm.”
Lucy brought Lugh along a clean stone path and walked to the right of a four-story villa.
Seeing Lucy and Lugh leave, a guard asked in a low voice, “Who is the person next to Miss Lucy? I just saw Miss Lucy opening the car door for that young man...”
“He is so young. He is a Major in the Emergency Response Team. He should be Lugh, the Captain of the 14th Emergency Response Team.” Another guard’s eyes clung to Lugh’s back and replied in a low voice, “Don’t forget, Miss Lucy seems to have become Lugh’s adjutant.”
“So that’s what Lugh looks like.”
She rang the doorbell of the villa and soon heard footsteps. A woman in her fifties, dressed in plain clothes, opened the door.
“Miss.”
A woman who opened the door called out excitedly.
“Aunty.”
“You’re back.”
“Yes.” Lucy nodded.
“Miss, you’ve lost weight.” The aunty looked at Lucy excitedly and said, “It’s great that you’re back. Madam has been thinking about you. It’s great that you’re back. I’ll go and tell Madam. Come in, come in.”
At this moment, Lucy’s aunt noticed Lugh who was standing beside Lucy.
However, she didn’t ask anything. She just wanted to inform Madam.
Lucy brought Lugh into the hall while her aunt ran up the stairs hurriedly.
Lugh sat on the sofa while another maid ran out to pour tea for Lugh and Lucy.
Not long after, a beautiful lady in her thirties came downstairs with quick steps.
When she saw Lucy, she wrapped her in her arms.
“Mom,” Lucy said, a little choked up.
“Okay.”
Lucy’s mother hugged Lucy and touched the tears at the corner of her eyes. She quickly controlled her emotions and let go of Lucy in her arms.
Lucy’s mother looked at Lugh and asked, “Lucy, you haven’t introduced your friend.”
“This is Major Lugh, the Captain of the 14th emergency team, my current boss.”
Lucy’s mother’s face instantly darkened when she heard her daughter’s introduction. Then, she squeezed out a polite, distant, and courteous smile.
Obviously, she knew that the Pavilion of Treasures had suffered a heavy blow, Lucas had suffered a blow, and her daughter had fallen to this state because of Lugh. Not to mention the aftermath of these events, which had caused a huge loss to the family.
These losses were all because of Lugh.
However, their family had no way of dealing with Lugh.
Once they touched Lugh, their family would most likely suffer a disaster.
They could not afford to pay such a price.
“Major Lugh, you really are a distinguished guest.”
“I’m not a distinguished guest. I just came to have a seat.” Lugh put down his teacup and smiled. “Our team has been busy outside for more than half a year. This time, it’s a month off. I saw that Lucy didn’t dare to go home, so I followed her here to cheer her on.”
Lucy lowered her head immediately.
Her mother heard Lugh’s words and gently stroked her daughter’s hair. “You child, this is your home. Why don’t you dare to come back?”
Lucy didn’t know how to answer, so she could only forcefully change the topic. “Mom, where’s Dad? Where are my younger siblings?”
“Your dad is testing your brother’s homework. Your sister is still studying management lessons.”
Lucy’s mother said softly, “But since you’re back today, you should let them rest for a while... Major Lugh, please excuse me for a moment. I’ll go and inform Lucas. Let them come over...”
“Oh.”
“Didn’t your brother and sister finish school?”
After her mother left, Lugh asked curiously.
“That’s another lesson.” Lucy replied, “My father and mother both attach great importance to education. Apart from the lessons we learn at school, we also have specialized family teachers.”
“It must be very hard, right?”
“Every day, we wake up on time, do morning jogs, and carry out specialized combat training. It lasts until 8:30, and then we arrive at school at 9:00. After school, we go home and have various courses, social, psychological, management, combat, Fierce Beasts, pet training... We usually last until around 12:00,” Lucy said in a low voice, “It’s a bit bitter, but that’s how we get through it.”
Lugh leaned back on the sofa. He suddenly felt that it was not unreasonable for the Lucy family to develop to this stage.
“Don’t they have free time?”
“I think so.” Lucy shook her head. “As long as they have excellent results, they have a great chance to relax for a day.”
“It’s a bit harsh.”
“Yeah.” Lucy nodded and smiled. “When I was about twelve, I felt like I was going crazy. I even secretly soaked myself in cold water, hoping that I would catch a fever.”
Lugh looked at Lucy. Her expression was still cold.
It was as if she was talking about someone else.
“Did you succeed?”
“No, I was seen through.”
“Uh.”
“My younger sister has a strong personality too. She didn’t awaken her Beast Master talent when she was thirteen. She should be studying social, management, and psychological knowledge now, striving to gain a foothold in the Pavilion of Treasures in the future.”
“Mm, it’s pretty good.”
Lugh rubbed his chin. He was considering whether he should learn from her family and nurture his younger sister.
Xu Xiaoxiao seemed to have some free time after school.
If Xu Xiaoxiao knew what her brother was thinking, she would probably cry her heart out.
Not long after, Lugh heard footsteps.
He turned around and followed a twelve or thirteen-year-old youth and a beautiful fifteen or sixteen-year-old girl out.
Lugh stood up immediately. “Hello, Senior Lucas.”
Lucas was a King-tier Beast Master after all. Lugh still had to show him respect.
“Lugh, welcome to my home.”
Lucas smiled, giving off a feeling of spring breeze.
Lucas introduced them to Lugh. “This is my second daughter, Percy, and my youngest son, Evan.”
Percy greeted Lugh generously, her eyes filled with curiosity and worship as she looked at Lugh. “Hello, Major Lugh.”
Lugh felt a little strange. Among Lucas’ family members, other than Lucy, Percy seemed to have a good impression of him.
On the other hand, Evan’s reaction was more normal. He did not take the initiative, but the way he looked at Lugh was filled with hatred that he tried his best to hide.
However, after being glared at by Lucas, he politely greeted Lugh.
It could be seen that Lucas paid a lot of attention to Lugh. As the family sat down, their aunt brought some fruits that had just been washed and placed them on the coffee table.
Lucas said politely, “Major Lugh, these days, Lucy is indebted to you for taking care of her.”
