372: Enemy

Enemy

This was something that Lauren had specially instructed the chef of Everlasting Legacy to work overtime to deliver.2

Lauren knew that for these hosts, what they wanted was actually very simple. Since Lauren wanted to thank them, she had to give them something that they could not get.

The first thing that entered Lauren's mind was the delicious food.

Many people could not buy Everlasting Legacy's roasted duck even if they queued up in advance. Therefore, Lauren felt that this food was the best way to express her gratitude.

Lauren handed over the delicately wrapped and steaming roasted duck to the hosts.

Everyone had a curious and smiling expression on their faces as they took the roasted duck from Lauren. When Lauren placed the roasted duck in the hands of the last girl, the girl unwillingly picked up the bag with two fingers, she seemed to dislike it.

"You woke me up from my bed in the middle of the night and gave me this little thing. How embarrassing!"

This girl spoke English with a slight accent, but Lauren could still understand it clearly.

She recognized this girl. Her name was Noah.

During the first video conference between Lauren and the hosts, Noah had raised an objection, saying that Lauren should not directly use other people's mantras.

As usual, Noah was not easy to get along with.

Of course, Lauren did not do anything. She directly ignored Noah's attitude.

The other hosts, who smelled the tempting aroma of roasted duck, thanked her one after another. "Thank you, Lauren. When I go back, I will definitely share this food with my family."

"Me too! I've heard that the cuisine from your country is very famous. I've seen a lot of it on the Internet. This time, I can finally taste it for myself."

Lauren smiled.

"It's good that you guys are having a good time. If there's a chance in the future, you're welcome to come often!"

David said, "It's not a good thing if we get together often. This proves that there are some missions that need our help in order to complete."

Another host chimed in. "That's right. We usually only get together when things are more critical. So, it's better to have fewer occasions like this."

Lauren suddenly remembered something even more important. It was much more important than the roast duck!

She told the hosts about the huge rose that she had found today. She also told them about the rose that she had found a few times before.

Previously, she had only told David, but since everyone was here, perhaps she could listen to their opinions.

"Rose? Isn't this kind of flower very common? It shouldn't be surprising to see it three or four times."

Noah seemed to be getting impatient from waiting. She raised his eyebrows and said, "That might not be the case. Some larger organizations will usually have their own iconic things. Just like Lauren said, she will find this kind of rose every time she completes a mission. It's difficult for us not to associate it with certain things," another female host said.

This female host's name was Kelly. She was the second oldest host, two years younger than David, and was currently in university.

She was a slightly plump girl. She was usually very quiet, but when she opened her mouth, her logic was sound and her voice was loud and clear.

"I agree with what Kelly said. The rose has appeared in front of Lauren time and time again. It might be a provocation or to attract our attention," David said, "This situation is a bit like what happened more than ten years ago."

"More than ten years ago? What happened at that time?"

Lauren was only four and a half years old this year. She was not even five years old yet. She naturally did not know about what happened more than ten years ago, but when she heard what David said, it seemed like there was some inside information.

David seemed to be trying hard to recall, then he said, "Actually, more than ten years ago, we had a very big enemy. At that time, I still don't remember it clearly, but I vaguely remember that my father once fought with him. After this powerful enemy was defeated, he disappeared without a trace. But before that, he would deliberately cause all kinds of incidents just to provoke my father. So many years have passed, but there is still no information about him."

"However, according to my father, this enemy is only hiding. One day, he will reappear. When he does, he will definitely be even stronger. That's why my father nurtured so many hosts to prevent this day from happening."
