Chapter 155: Chapter 155 Martini Family Mansion
Translator: 549690339
After the dinner party.
At the enthusiastic invitation of Cass, he led Han Dong on a tour of various areas of the multi-storey mansion.
In simple terms.
The Cass family home is divided into eastern and western sections.
Though it appears to be a singular structure, the interior is crudely divided by walls up to three meters thick.
The East Wing serves as the Martini Family’s living, dining, and activity area… all the daily activities of the family take place there.
The servants, on the other hand, live separately in ordinary houses in the back garden.
But what about the west wing?
The entire West Wing was set up as a “creative zone” by Viscount Alexis.
This father of Cass, Viscount Alexis, is a writer and one of the core members of the Holy City Writers’ Association.
He was bestowed a noble title for his great contributions to the construction of the Holy City and the future of mankind.
The West Wing is made up of three levels.
The first floor is a collection of excellent works, a library, a collection of treasures, and so on.
The second floor is an activity room equipped with fencing, an indoor pool, a steam sauna room, and a massage room. It is served by only three trusted old servants.
When Alexis is having trouble creating or is feeling unwell, he comes to the second floor to relax and relieve creative stress.
The third floor is the work studio.
Unlike the first and second floors, no one is allowed to enter this floor, not even family members… Alexis’s creation room must be kept absolutely confidential, which is a basic principle for a writer.
In addition, Han Dong discovered that.
For some reason, Cass’s father separated from his original family after being ennobled.
He and his wife live alone in this mansion, completely separated from their parents and siblings, only meeting occasionally.
It seems they did so to reduce some ‘life’ burdens, avoid family disputes and minor issues, and concentrate on ‘creation’.
It took nearly half an hour to tour all the areas of the east building.
While marvelling at how good it is to be rich, Han Dong also quietly observed the basic situation of this building.
Everything was normal.
All the personnel of the Cass family, the air quality of each area, and the condition of the corners of the buildings were all normal.
Actually, only Han Dong accompanied Cass on the mansion tour.
Sophia and the rest of them have been here more than three times.
After the meal, the butler arranged rooms for them, and they all went back to their rooms to rest.
As for Koslin, the short-statured one, he had to go back to work late tonight, he did not stay the night here because of a tutoring request.
Cass and Han Dong, walking shoulder to shoulder through the hallway, were quite close … Of course, that closeness was only from Cass’s side.
“Speaking of which, Brother Aron! Tonight is a great opportunity for you… Knight Silist is willing to stay voluntarily, and you know what her intentions are, right?”
“emmm…Don’t think too much! Actually, Knight Silist decided to stay because she smelled a ‘strange odor’.
Cass, has anything been wrong with your house recently?
Talking about other people’s homes might be considered rude… but since the relationship between the two is special, Han Dong just said it straight out.
“Knight Silist smelled a ‘strange odor’?”
“Yes… very faint, she’s not sure either. I’ve walked a big loop in the East Wing with you, and I haven’t sensed anything unusual either.”
“There are no big problems at home… And we only discovered small problems today.”
Cass filled Han Dong in on Viscount Alexis’ recent unusual behavior.
Confused, Han Dong asked, “Having the same dream? Sleepwalking to the backyard to dig a hole?”
“Yes… We only know about these unusual behaviors. Today, father also suggested to go to [Church Headquarters] and personally received the baptism of ‘Holy Light’ from a high priest. In theory, there should be no more problems now.”
But Han Dong’s focus was different from Cass:
“You said before that the servants live together in the backyard, didn’t you?”
Cass nodded: “Yes… they all go back to the backyard when they finish their work at 8 pm.
It wasn’t until 6 o’clock the next morning I was allowed back into the main mansion.”
“So that means they’re not in the main house during the night?”
“Unless they received a request to serve. Generally speaking, they are not in the main mansion… It was my father’s requirement. After nightfall, he only likes to be with his family for a sense of security.”
Han Dong continued, “That’s right! The butler said your father sleepwalks and digs in the backyard… This message is quite narrow.
After all, the butler only lives in the backyard and doesn’t know what happens inside the mansion.
Your father may be doing something else in the main mansion before he sleepwalks.”
Han Dong’s words suddenly shocked Cass.
“This…”
“Let’s keep an eye on your father tonight. If his sleepwalking symptoms disappear after receiving the Holy Baptism, then there’s no problem.
If the sleepwalking occurs again, we’ll secretly follow him to see what he’s doing.
Luckily, Knight Silist is here. If there is any trouble, she can handle it quickly… and try not to harm your father.”
“Thank you, Brother Aron.”
“It’s a small matter… Let’s rest for a while, we will be more energetic in the middle of the night.”
“Okay!”
Han Dong was assigned to stay in the guest room on the second floor of the east wing.
Silist and Sophia also live on this floor.
Cass’s sisters returned to their homes after the dinner, Cass, who had not been home for a long time, also stayed in the same guest room area on the second floor.
As for the third floor of the east wing – the master bedroom area, only Cass’s parents live there.
“It’s almost nine o’clock… I wonder what Vino wants with me.”
When Han Dong was about to go out after checking the ‘date’ time.
Knock knock knock!
The room door was knocked.
Upon opening the door, a blonde beauty was leaning against it, her dinner attire already changed.
Seeing Silist at the door in a light and casual outfit, a belted waistcoat, white shirt and boots… Han Dong thought it suited her better.
“Vino? Weren’t you supposed to come find me?”
“Sophia insists on sleeping with me… So I had to come here personally. The matter for which I came to see you tonight, don’t tell anyone, got it!?”
“Got … got it.”
Silist walked into the room and took the only armchair, looking Han Dong up and down.
“What’s it like to bring ‘pollution power’ into the Fate Space?”
“Well… haha, it’s pretty handy.” Han Dong gave an awkward smirk.
“Anyway, thank you for ensuring Sophia’s safety…Cass was a bit too reckless, actually choosing the Four-Star chain task.
The fact that your whole team managed to get out alive is a real miracle.”
“Haha, is it?”
“What else can you do besides laughing awkwardly… Come here!”
Silist shouted and Han Dong reluctantly walked over.
Who knew.
Silist pulled out a special green card from her pocket, the card had a special pattern of ‘golden wheat interwoven above the crown’ printed on it.
“This is a gratitude gift from Sophia’s father.”
“What’s this?”
“The personal noble identity card, with this card you’re a member of the common nobility, but your family doesn’t have the privileges of the nobility…This isn’t something you can get just anywhere, so keep it safe. It’ll make your life in Holy City easier.”
Just as Han Dong accepted the card.
Knock knock knock! The room door was knocked again.
