The crane stood with its back to everyone, silent for a long period of time without uttering a single word.
"I'll explain why tomorrow."
The crane suddenly broke the silence after a while.
With that, he picked up Ethan Smith, turned around, and headed for his grotto-heaven.
Cruz Benson, Oxen, and the others exchanged glances, dumbfounded.
...
The next day.
Ethan Smith woke up in a daze.
He rubbed his forehead, feeling a heaviness in his head, accompanied by a slight pain.
"Damn, the alcohol hit me hard," Ethan Smith muttered while massaging his forehead.
Upon saying this, he abruptly realized where he was, and hurriedly scanned his surroundings.
He found himself lying on a jade bed, while the Crane sat bare-chested on the bed.
Ethan Smith's face contorted, and he quickly sat up from the bed.
"Holy shit! You're not some kind of psycho, are you?" Ethan Smith asked nervously.
The crane glanced at Ethan Smith and said calmly, "I'm not interested in men."
