After a few minutes of waiting, Roland finally saw Janine walking over from afar.
"She's here," Roland commented.
Madison also looked over curiously, especially after hearing the word 'she'.
She wondered who this person that Roland was waiting for earlier.
From what she knew, Roland has never been the type of a person that has a lot of friends. Previously, he would often sit silently and won't bother about communicating with others at all. Heck, his relationship with Anna before was just considered as rumors and nothing else. It was only a few days ago that everyone learned the truth that the two of them really had a relationship before. The source of this material is novelbin★
Hence, Madison wondered just who was this 'she' that they were waiting for. She wondered what sort of relationship the two of them had.
After a while, Janine finally came into her view.
The first words that popped out of her head upon seeing her was, "How cute... and simple..."
"Hello," Janine greeted the two of them the moment she arrived.
Madison smiled and nodded in return. "Hello, I am Madison, Roland's classmate. Nice meeting you!"
She introduced herself before Roland could, afraid that it might cause some misunderstanding that might trouble Roland later on. She did not know their relationship, but it was better to be safe than sorry after all.
"I am Janine, his personal driver," Janine answered straightly without shame.
"Ahh?" A confused look appeared on Madison's face.
lightsΝοvεl ƈοm "Driver?" She asked as she turned to Roland for clarification.
At the same time Roland was also surprised that Janine said it out loud without shame. Although there was no shame in being a driver, he still did not expect for her to admit it outrightly.
What he did not know was that Janine had actually said it deliberately. She already knew that Madison was the reason why she and Roland did not go home together yesterday.
By saying that she was her personal driver, Janine wanted to make it clear that she was closer to Roland and that the two of them traveled together most of the time.
Of course, Madison and Roland did not know her true motive. Nevertheless, none of them cared and none of them asked.
After parking at the back, Roland went inside Stacey's office while Janine stayed outside and began her research about the orphanage again. This time, Roland reminded her to be extra careful due to his discovery at the hospital earlier. He told her that Councilor Brown was not as simple as he seemed to be as well.
Inside the office, Roland assisted Stacey on her work as they talked about what happened during today. Well, it was mostly Roland that was talking while Stacey just listened to him talk.
"Hmm? Bryan sure has a lot of guts. As for Councilor Brown, are you sure you don't need my help? I can call Carrol and let her handle this matter you know," she said while stacking some papers over atop each other.
"Don't worry about it. This is not something that I could not handle," Roland laughed and assured her not to worry about it.
Roland was no longer the boy who didn't have the capability to fight back. The only thing that worries him now were the people around him. However, that was already solved as well after the System rewarded him with the guards. Each one of them were skilled and was a lot stronger compared to normal humans. Even the so-called cultivators won't be able to defeat them easily at the same level.
And speaking of the guards, Roland communicated with One and briefed him of the events earlier.
One nodded and listened seriously.
After a while, One learned of all what he experienced inside the hospital as well as Roland's speculation about some matter.
"Earlier, we detected some rats snooping around the area near Sparkling Buds. They must be the people sent by Brown. How should we deal with them?" One reported after Roland finished speaking.
"Hmm? How many of them are there?"
"Only three. They are weak and belong to the same group as we've seen them interact with each other earlier." One replied.
Roland nodded his head in understanding.
"Don't do anything to them yet as it might raise their vigilance towards us. Continue to monitor them without alerting them. If possible, try to track them back and see if they truly belong to Councilor Brown's forces."
"Also, while we're at it, investigate Councilor Brow thoroughly, including his involvement regarding the orphanage. We might be able to find something surprising there if we are lucky." Roland ordered.
Although was also investigating the orphanage, Roland thought that they would be able to obtain better results if it was done by One and the others. With their skills, it was not a problem for them to get results easily. Perhaps, the only thing that hindered One and the others now was the fact that there were only a few of them.
"I will see this matter myself," One stated calmly.
"Sure, no problem."
