149. Kind-Hearted

Maxel returned with a faint smile that he showed. Seeing Tara and Aldrick in front of him immediately made him feel relieved and happy. It was a relief because he finally saw Tara happily surrounded by the people around her, also happy that Aldrick was the type of man who took full responsibility for his actions. Maxel had enough of that.

"Orders will come soon," he said, then sat back in his chair.

Aldrick and Tara nodded with a smile. "Are you here alone?"

"They're waiting in the basement."

Aldrick frowned at Maxel's answer. They… Who are they? Meanwhile, Tara, who saw Aldrick's face change, held back his laughter. He immediately pinched Aldrick's thigh so that the man immediately showed a flat face as usual.

"You should have brought them along."

"They will only interfere with our meeting."
