Chapter 153: The Laboratory

Leaving the motel after a few hours of sleep, the two drove off by dawn.

Ethan took the wheels and headed towards his old hideout, where Ai eagerly awaited for their arrival.

Entering the familiar forest and following the trails he left, the car arrived at the underground tunnel.

Lillie leaned on the window, watching with interest at the place that became Ethan's—as Vermillion Dragon's—sanctuary.

"Welcome to my humble base." Ethan chivalrously opened the car's door for Lillie, leading her inside the huge dome-like laboratory.

Lillie traces her slender fingers on the cold, metal wall surrounding the laboratory. "So this is where you hide."

Ethan sheepishly rubbed his neck. "I wouldn't call it a hiding place, but a simple refuge for me to relax and do some 'stuffs'."

Stuffs, huh. There are a lot of different trinkets lying around that no normal person would call 'stuff'.
