Chapter 423: Chapter 0423: Visit (Seeking Monthly Tickets)

Main World, Green Tree Castle, Inner Circle Villa.

Dunstan, pipe in mouth, paced outside the villa like any ordinary old man—a habit he'd recently developed.

"Good day, Mr. Dunstan!"

In contrast to the previously deserted garden, a maid tending to the flowers got up to greet him.

"Hello, Bijie!"

Dunstan visibly perked up: "Su Lu, he… has he returned from his journey? That's just…"

He struggled to articulate his thoughts.

Given the gravity Su Lu had previously displayed, Dunstan had thought the man would be gone for a long time.

To have him return so quickly, it was unexpected, to say the least.

'It seems Mr. Su Lu's affairs went smoothly?'

Dunstan mused to himself.

"Yes, sir. Would you like to come in for some tea?"

Beryl responded with a smile.

"Mm… I miss your honey cakes…"

With that excuse, Dunstan entered the villa. He saw Su Lu, fresh from a bath dressed in loose bathrobes, lounging in an armchair, reading old newspapers.
