I will Save this Doomed Plot

Chapter 165: To the East!(5)

Mira simply scratched her brow in frustration.

"I can't believe I get to see that guy mopping the floor. It's a strange sight to see."

Erdene rubbed his face with the palm of his hand.

"That brat always throws surprises at you, you should get used to it."

Mira then looked pityingly at Erdene.

"Dene, you've been through a lot."

"I did, I certainly did..."

Liam and Snow agreed with Erdene's words, but they all came to a halt when they heard something beep.

Beep! Beep! Beep!

"Ah!"

Snow exclaimed and rummaged through Luke's coat pockets. She is currently wearing his coat to look after it. Snow then grabbed the thing that was beeping and yanked it out. She then observed the communication device in her hand beeping. Snow then looked at Mira, Erdene, and the others, and Erdene simply nodded before Snow answered the call. Lance's face then appeared.

• How is the mission- oh, hello there Snow.

Snow smiled and waved at Lance on the screen, while Marina and the others moved away from the communication device so that Lance wouldn't see them or the Spirits.

"Hello papa, why did you call?"

• Oh, I'm just checking in on the mission's progress, how's it going?

Snow remained silent for a moment before slowly turning her gaze to Liam, who was unable to speak. Lance looked perplexed at this.

• Did something happen again?

Snow scratched her cheeks.

"You can say that..."

• Can you show me?

Snow sighed and rotated the device. Lance then concentrated his vision to see what was going on. It didn't take long for Lance's eyes to widen.

• Is that... Luke?

Snow then responded slowly.

"Yes..."

• Oh my god... What the hell is he doing up there?

Liam then responded.

"He's been told to mop the floor..."

• Are you serious? And why would he even obey such a command?!

"He went in there as undercover so he has no choice but to follow their orders. He didn't even complain, and he appears to be used to doing such things..."

Lance remained silent as he frowned at Luke, who was quietly mopping the floor. For some reason, he was irritated while looking at Luke's calm face mopping the floor. Perhaps it's because what Luke is doing is completely unexpected.

•....I'll call later; I'm going to deal with something for a little while.

Snow then cocked her head, her gaze fixed on Lance's serious expression.

"Hmm? So soon, Papa?"

• Unfortunately, yes. If I can, I'll call you later.

Lance then ended the call and silence fell in the surroundings. Mira just sighed, and Erdene just stared at Luke. They've been stuck staring at him like that all day.

As night falls, Luke has completed the majority of the errands assigned to him by Paris throughout the day. The more orders Paris gives him, the more enraged Luke becomes; the same is true for Nash.
