Finally, Jennie and Lisa arrived at their destination. In front of them was an ordinary looking brown door, however, she found that the door was made out of an expensive wood imported from a country rich in natural resources.

Naturally, the door was thick and made to block any noise from the inside to be heard from the outside.

And the crisp and clear sound it made when Lisa's knuckles knocked on the surface of it was very pleasant to the ears.

Jennie stuck her tongue out and licked her lower lips; a habit she would always do when she's feeling very nervous other than biting her lips.

Soon, they heard the sound of the knob turning and not even a second later, the door was pulled open from the inside and an older man with gray hairs sticking out on his head was standing before them.

"Young master Lisa," said the elderly man with a polite tone.

"Butler Chen." Lisa subtly nodded his head towards the elderly man before proceeding to ask, "Is my grandfather inside?"

The man whom Lisa just called 'Butler Chen' nodded his head, but didn't step away from the door. He appeared to have been doing this since a long time ago and it became a muscle memory, and his reaction was dull. However, there was an explicable feeling of suppression once you stood before him.

Jennie guessed that the old man's duty was not only a 'butler', Butler Chen should also have the responsibility to not allow anyone to come through the door easily.

She also noticed that Lisa didn't move nor found this unnatural or offensive. The two of them stood face to face and didn't say anything.

When Jennie thought that almost half a minute had passed, a deep chuckle sounded from inside the room, then a voice soon accompanied it.

"Xiao Chen, let them in."

Jennie: "..."

Butler 'Xiao' Chen didn't even blink nor change his expression when he heard this. Other than that, he took a step to the side and made way for the two.

He said: "Please come in, Young Master Lisa and Miss."

After saying this, he waited for them to fully enter the room and when they really got inside the room, he closed the door without a sound. Even Jennie thought that she had met a Humanoid because of how he was moving and talking, no emotion and expression at all.

But Jennie couldn't keep her attention on the old butler as her eyes immediately flew back to the center of the room where another elderly man was sitting behind the desk and had his chin propped against the back of his palms.

Old Master Manoban deepened his gaze upon seeing the two enter the room and thoughtfully stared at them.

Under his gaze, most men and women of any age would be so afraid that they would think of fleeing away or have thoughts that they had offended the old man. Even peeing their pants could be possible.

Lisa, however, was unafraid and unbothered at how his grandfather was staring at them and even stepped forward to block his gaze directed at Jennie.

Seeing him make a move first, Old Master Manoban did not even hold himself back and laughed out.

He glared at Lisa.

Then, he said: "You've grown a lot. Now, you know how to protect your people."

Jennie subconsciously tensed up while staring at the two. Though she didn't get a clear view of the two since Lisa blocked her sight with his broad shoulders and wide back, she could still guess that the two were currently having a stare down with each other.
