Chapter 193: idle talk

(FROM MC's Perspective)

I cast a quick glance at the three people who had followed me into this cafeteria. When they noticed me, they quickly averted their gaze. "I don't want to waste my time with these people," I sneered inwardly.

I must stick to my plan. Now I must concentrate on gathering information. The next second, I forgot about those three and focused on my ears.

I perked up my ears and tried to focus on the conversations of others. I began with a group of people right next to me.

Time went by,

Table after table, person after person. Everyone's conversation was overheard by me. But, sadly, I learned nothing useful. I sighed looking at the time. I informed my parents that I would arrive in an hour.

But I've already been here for an hour. My time was squandered. I was thinking about something when I heard footsteps behind me. I turned back casually the next second, but my face tightened after looking at the same three people.
