Chapter 554: Asking for Help

"I guess you treated yourself to quite a nice meal, huh? Considering you decided to grab all of my money?" Hearing the door leading to their room being opened, Wells began to voice out his complaints as he made his way to the main area.

Though, just as he was about to continue, his next words got stuck in his throat, glancing at the kid that accompanied Valyr with widened eyes.

"Valyr…" Swiftly hiding the surprise that was on his face earlier, the young man looked at his friend with a calm expression. "Who did you bring along?"

"It's a long story." Bitterly smiling as he had expected such a reaction, Valyr told Edward, who was hiding behind him, to make himself comfortable for the meantime. 

Thankfully, with how he had let the kid's guard down around him, Edward eventually followed, giving Wells a bow as he made his way towards the living area sofa.
