It was already past eleven at night when I said goodbye to Alaric and the others.
I walked out the door and stood on the street to hail a taxi.
As I was waiting, I took out my old phone and glanced at it.
Just then, a call came in.
It was from Liora.
I had been meaning to call Liora these past few days.
It has to be said that although Liora is a woman of the pleasure world, she is very principled in her actions.
This time, when Kristin asked her to contact me, she flatly refused, saying she couldn’t get in touch.
Judging by this alone, Liora is someone I can trust.
As soon as I answered the call, Liora’s timid voice came through:
"Lupan, are you still in Coconut City?"
Hearing this, my heart immediately sank.
I had never told Liora where I had gone.
As for Coconut City, Liora and I had never even mentioned it.
So Liora’s question was sending me a message.
She was in a difficult situation to speak.
She might even be in danger.
