The audience started to leave the venue one after another, but praises were still brought up in conversations from time to time. The novel way of performing opera was gradually becoming popular among the upper echelons of Rodu.
The exquisite stage, the interesting story, and the melodious singing all added some color to the nightlife.
Now that the venue was over, they could even have some supper and drink on Romo Street.
The once desolate Romo Street rose again with the popularity of the two pubs and the Black Cat Opera House. All kinds of restaurants and entertainment businesses entered the street one after another, and it became the new business district of Rodu that was gradually becoming famous.
Vicky watched the guests leave with a satisfied smile on her face.
She used to be homeless on the streets, but now she finally experienced the feeling of having a full house. It was really not bad.
Then, she noticed the figure at the back of the crowd, and her expression changed instantly. She turned around and wanted to run.
"I brought you braised pork and rice. Are you sure you don't want to eat?" Ferdinand said with a smile.
Vicky stopped in her tracks. She turned around awkwardly, and smiled. "Grandpa, why are you here?"
The audience had all left the venue, and the actors who were about to get off the stage to rest heard Vicky's words. They instantly perked up and looked at the middle-aged man below the stage.
Although they were standing below the stage, everyone looked at the man in front of them with a sense of reverence.
That was an aura of power without being angry.
Everyone had followed Vicky for more than a year, and they rarely heard her talk about herself. However, everyone knew that their leader was different from them. She really came from a rich family, and was most likely the real-life version of Miss Black Cat.
They didn't expect her family to come looking for her today.
"Leader, we'll go and rest first. You guys have a good chat." The actors left tactfully.
Barbara, who was prepared to stay and watch the show, was also pulled away.
Only Ferdinand and Vicky were left in the huge opera house.
"Why? Are you not happy that I'm here?" Ferdinand said with a half-smile.
"Why would I be? I'm too happy." Vicky had already accepted her fate. She immediately put on a smile and jumped off the stage. She held Ferdinand's hand intimately, and said coquettishly, "I miss Grandpa so much."
"I don't know how much of your words I can trust now." Ferdinand shook his head, but his eyes were filled with a doting smile.
"Of course I'll believe everything. What bad intentions does little Vicky have?" Vicky said matter-of-factly. Her gaze fell on the insulated box in his hand, and her eyes lit up. "Did you go to Amy's?"
"I went out for a meal and brought you a portion." Ferdinand handed the insulated box over.
"Thank you, Grandpa. You're the best." Vicky took the lunch box. "Please come to my office."
Ferdinand followed Vicky through the theater and into Vicky's office.
"Red braised pork. It's still warm. How fragrant." Vicky opened the insulated box and immediately exclaimed. Then, she lamented, "It's a pity that Sister Xi isn't here. Her favorite dish is braised pork."
"Are you and Xi regulars at Amy's?" Ferdinand sat down opposite Vicky and asked with a smile.
Vicky chewed on the braised pork with her cheeks puffed up as she answered, "Not really. I've only been to Amy's twice, but Mr. Mak's culinary skills are really unforgettable."
"It's indeed an amazing taste." Ferdinand nodded in agreement.
"But Grandpa, did something big happen? Why did you come to the Norland Continent personally?" Vicky swallowed the meat in her mouth and asked curiously.
Xi did tell her about the semi-transcendental mecha before, but with her grandfather's status, this kind of thing was not worth a personal visit.
"My precious granddaughter ran away from home for more than a year without any news. Now that I've finally found her, she's still unwilling to come home. Do you think I should make a trip here personally?" Ferdinand looked at her and asked seriously.
"I … I can't leave." Vicky blushed a little. "You saw it today. The opera house has just opened, and it's already received so much love from the audience. If I leave, the opera house will close down on the same day, and my troupe members will have to go hungry."
"Today's performance was really good." Ferdinand nodded his head in appreciation.
Vicky was instantly delighted. It was not easy to hear a compliment from her grandfather. Even her father was usually criticized.
"You didn't come here for that mecha, did you?" Vicky asked. She did not believe that her grandfather would make a special trip for her.
"It seems like Xi told you a lot of things."
"You've wronged Sister Xi. This is all information I got from Sister Xi. After all, you said that we should pay attention to current affairs at all times." Vicky quickly took the blame.
"The mecha is one thing. The other thing is that I want to meet this young man, Alex." Ferdinand smiled and did not pursue the matter.
"Mr. Mak is a good person." Vicky said with some righteous indignation. "I think some people in the Buried City are too much. They crossed the line and killed people. They don't care about the rules at all."
"Rules are set by the strong to restrict the weak. There are always some people who think that they're the ones who make the rules and naturally won't follow them." Ferdinand also restrained his smile.
"Does this matter have anything to do with the military?" Vicky peeked at Ferdinand and suddenly felt a little nervous.
Mr. Mak chopped up the half-step transcendent mecha and even detained it. This was a clear provocation to the forces behind the mecha.
If this matter had something to do with the military, then her grandfather's personal visit this time might not necessarily be for something.
"We haven't found any evidence of the military's involvement yet." Ferdinand shook his head.
Vicky heaved a sigh of relief. At least this meant that this matter was not instigated by her grandfather.
"However, I did come here this time to bring that mech back. We should be able to find out more about that mysterious organization of the Immortals from the mech." When Ferdinand mentioned the Immortals, he did not hide the disgust in his eyes.
"The immortals!" Vicky's expression changed.
The immortals were a very mysterious and powerful organization in the Buried City. It was said that it was an organization founded by an extraordinary and had very strong power. However, no one knew where exactly they were.
Even the military did not have a half-step transcendent god-level mecha, but it suddenly appeared out of nowhere and crossed the line to kill people.
In the Dungeon, perhaps only the mysterious organization of the Immortals had such power.
"I came to the Norland Continent this time for another purpose, and that is to bring you back to the Buried City." Ferdinand looked at Vicky. "It's too dangerous here."
