The minivan was moving steadily.
10 minutes ago, it had left the city center.
It could even be said that it had left the city and entered the outskirts of the city.
However, the outskirts weren't deserted.
Kieran could still see the streetlights outside through the streetlights.
"I'll surprise you later!"
Eckart said mysteriously.
He was looking forward to Kieran's questions.
Unfortunately, Eckart did not know what kind of patience Kieran would have after he had a friend like Lawless, nor would he know what kind of corresponding methods Kieran would have.
Silence.
The minivan fell into a silence that even Eckart himself felt awkward.
"Aren't you curious, 2567?"
Eckart asked. Unfortunately, Kieran's eyes were still looking out the window, he didn't even turn around. Eckart touched his nose and kept quiet.
Eckart really regretted letting Lyn Amie sit in the bodyguard's minivan.
If Lyn Amie was there, he could still change the topic.
But now?
All that was left was awkwardness.
Fortunately, this awkwardness did not last long. After driving for about three minutes, when the car went around a hill in front of them, the car steadily stopped.
It was a higher hill, and under the lights that shone like stars, a dozen mansions were hidden on top of the hill. If it wasn't for the lights, one wouldn't have been able to see the mansions.
On top of that, the lights made the villa area feel like it was far away from the hustle and bustle of the world, yet it didn't lose its flourishing feel.
Kieran only needed a glance to confirm that the villa area was built by a famous architect.
"It's inside."
Eckart pointed at the villa area in front of him.
As for the guards of the villa area?
There were bodyguards who were also drivers to deal with them.
Gorbor, who was hired by Eckart at a high price, didn't let Eckart down. A few seconds later, the gate to the villa area slowly opened up.
"Sir, I don't suggest coming to this place.
"Although the security here is tight, without any communication, we'll be hindered."
Gorbor, who was in the driver's seat, reminded Kieran dutifully again.
"Don't worry.
If we are going somewhere else, I might worry.
"But the place we are going to now is definitely not necessary."
Eckart said confidently.
Gorbor wisely chose to keep his mouth shut in front of his confident employer.
He knew exactly what his employer was paying for: safety, not listening to his nagging.
Therefore, Gorbor vigilantly scanned his surroundings and sent a warning to his comrades in the car behind him.
Therefore, when the minivan stopped, the surroundings were under Gorbor's men's control and Gorbor himself was standing in front of the car door.
"Relax."
"I'm really fine."
Eckart patted Gorbor's shoulder with a smile. Gorbor nodded, but he didn't have the slightest intention of stepping aside. He continued to act as a human shield with his companions as they walked towards the villa located in the middle of the mountain.
"Hello, I'm the customer who made the reservation earlier …"
Eckart pressed the intercom.
Kieran habitually sized up his surroundings.
Pine trees were planted all around the villa, and beneath their feet were stone slabs of different sizes that formed a path. From the corner of their sight to the villa's front door, they were all stone slabs. As they got closer, the stone slabs grew bigger and bigger, and when they reached the front door, they became a complete stone slab.
Kieran glanced over the stone slab path, his eyes showing a sense of astonishment.
He didn't know much about common stones, but he could tell that the stone slabs of different sizes under his feet came from the same piece of stone.
Turning a complete stone slab into a stone slab path wasn't an easy task.
Not only did the stone slab have to be big enough, but it also had to be the right size to be laid on the stone slab path.
The stone slab path only had one side to cut.
In simple words, a sharpener was used to slice the stone vertically, not horizontally.
"Interesting."
Kieran glanced over the stone slab path again and squinted his eyes.
He then turned around to the opened door.
A pretty attendant dressed in a maid's uniform stood there.
"Ladies and gentlemen, please follow me."
The servant spoke in a soft but clear voice before she turned around and went inside.
Kieran followed after Eckart's signal.
Kieran's sight instantly brightened up.
A verdant bamboo forest and a cobblestone path.
The bamboo forest was continuous, and the path was meandering.
Under the soft light, a crystal-like scene was hidden in the bamboo forest.
When the wind blew, the rustling of the bamboo forest was immediately joined by the sound of water splashing.
A calm and soothing feeling spread in everyone's heart.
Gorbauer, who was on high alert, was relieved.
Lyn Amie couldn't help but take a deep breath, his face intoxicated.
Eckart, on the other hand, looked at Kieran.
"How is it?"
Eckart asked in a soft voice.
"Not bad."
Kieran answered.
It wasn't a perfunctory answer. Everything before Kieran's eyes was not bad at all. Whether it was the cobblestones of the same size or the verdant bamboo forest, it was obvious that a lot of effort was put into it, let alone the lake hidden deep in the bamboo forest. Kieran could already hear the fish leaping out of the water.
No one could say that this place was not good.
Likewise, anyone would unconsciously immerse themselves in this place and forget to return.
"This is getting more and more interesting."
The corner of Kieran's lips curled up into a faint smile as he followed behind the maid, following the small path around the bamboo forest in front of them.
A wooden building with two side rooms on both sides and the main entrance wide open appeared in front of them.
House of Han!
Under the eaves, a hand-carved plaque was hung on the roof.
"Please wait a moment.
Mr. Dao will be out in a moment. "
After saying that, the maid bowed and walked to the side.
"This is the restaurant that you said was opened by a true master chef?"
Kieran asked.
"A restaurant?
No, no, this is the House of Han.
A place that countless foodies in Rain City yearn for. "
Eckart shook his head to emphasize.
"Is it different?
It's a place to eat. "
Kieran asked.
"It's different!
Because … "
"Mr. Dao's food won't disappoint any customer."
Eckart's face showed a sense of respect when he mentioned the master chef.
"Is that so?
If that's the case, of course it won't disappoint. "
Kieran looked around again, his tone sounding a little expectant.
He really wanted to know how he made food that wouldn't disappoint any of his customers.
Bang!
The wooden knocks attracted everyone's attention. A heavy and powerful male voice came from the House of Han.
"2567, please come in.
The others … "
