Chapter 1065 You\'ve kept me waiting
"There are also icy caverns nearby. That can be a perfect spot for a nice meal afterwards," Velma added. "Better yet if they have a meal waiting for them when they reach. I\'ll take care of that."
She teleported away, making use of the ability she had only just recently learned.
"I\'ll go get the carts from Xeon," Z said, and dashed away.
"I\'ll make sure to add a small surprise to the track. Keep the excitement up," said Luthor and walked away.
"I\'ll make sure there are no sentient trees or rocks nearby to spy on our date," Sandra said, before running away herself as well.
"I\'ll get you the new communication devices that the Midnight portal has been giving out. This way you can message each other after the dates are over," commented Anita. But instead of going anywhere herself, she just commanded one of her undead servants to do the task.
Over the past half hour the entire group had reworked the date Lex had meticulously designed, and it was with great reluctance that he admitted their plan might actually be better. But only because it drew inspiration from his own plan idea!
Regardless, they had more or less finalized their plan. Geeves, who was also there the entire time, didn\'t contribute much to the conversation mainly because he was busy taking measurements, and when he wasn\'t doing that, he was grumbling about his suits that had come to life and walked away. He still believed the suits owed him payment for being made in the first place, but there was nothing he could do about it for now since none of them had any money yet.
Lex and Gerard stuck around while Geeves worked, since Velma had really done well with the selection.
Gerard was outfitted with formal pants, a white shirt and a suit vest, with the pants and vest being navy blue. While such an outfit still looked incredibly formal, accompanied by a stylish hat, it was the most informal Gerard had ever dressed in his entire life. He literally had dressed more formally than this when he was going to war.
Lex, on the other hand, got beige cotton pants, a T-shirt with a picture of Little Blue on it, and a smart summer blazer. She also encouraged him to stop using the illusion that made him look tall, as it was not the politest thing to do when going on a date.
The reminder of his current stature caused Lex to groan. As far as he could tell, his body was undergoing normal aging as if he was a baby, so he would have to wait years before he regained his height. That was also only considering if his aging process was not slowed down because of his cultivation, or else he might need to wait for decades.
Once they were dressed, they accompanied Harry to his barbershop, where he pulled out all the stops to make them look good.
Harry\'s skills had improved tremendously since Lex first got a haircut from him so many years ago, and after spending just twenty minutes styling their hair and augmenting their auras and souls, they were ready for their dates.
Even though Lex knew that this technically wasn\'t a real date for him, he couldn\'t help but feel slightly nervous. Fortunately, he had a lot of experience hiding his emotions perfectly.
"So, where are we supposed to meet them?" Lex asked, as he looked at himself in the mirror. He had to admit, he was looking very nice. Maybe he should stop by the barber shop more often.
"By the Fishing well. I heard it was customary to give dates flowers, chocolates or other gifts. Considering how random those items were, I thought it would be more interesting if we fished out random items and gave them to each other."
That… was surprisingly brilliant, in its own way. Lex looked at Gerard, studying him deeply. Was this really his first date ever? Maybe the original person he had been cloned from was some kind of casanova.
They hopped in a golf cart, and Gerard drove them all the way to the well. This was the first time Lex spent some time having a casual conversation with the man, and discovered that he was really missing out.
Talking to Gerard was like talking to an educated scholar, and because his bloodline allowed him unique ways to control energy through items, his perspective about energy was also quite different.
As much as he enjoyed relaxing back in the sealed domain, maybe next time he wanted to relax, he should do it with his workers at the Inn. There was no need to always spend time alone.
"Looks like they\'re waiting for us," Gerard said, as he drifted his golf cart across the lawn, coming to a stop in the perfect parking location.
Lex followed Gerards gaze, and spotted another golf cart occupied by… two devils!
Upon spotting Gerard, one of them lit up, and quickly stepped out, revealing her high heel, long leather boots. The hem of her high waisted pants were tucked into her boots, and its black fabric looked extremely flattering as it tightly hugged her legs. She was wearing a white T-shirt, the base of which ended just as it met her pants, and she was wearing a leather jacket atop it, though she left the zip open.
Her bright red hair was tied into a ponytail, and matched perfectly with deep red lipstick.
"Gerard," she said softly, as if tasting the name on her tongue. "You\'ve kept me waiting."
