Host, Please Be Honest! What Exactly Are You?

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!

Several mini-explosions went off in Dorian's mind.

Early-stage, middle stage, late stage of the 5th Dan...

Early-stage of the 6th Dan!

Dorian opened his eyes and was taken aback.

He thought he would end at the 5th Dan of the True Qi realm. But who would've known he would burst right through the roof with surplus gathered qi in his body?

And judging from the strength he felt within himself, he would be halfway through the early stage of the 6th Dan.

Meaning, soon... He would head on to the mid-stage.

Dorian clenched his fists in satisfaction.

Good!

He desperately needed strength.

So how could he not be happy?

Pandrol, who was on another side of the space, suddenly felt his muscles get even more defined and his body brimming with an unprecedented strength.

~Roar~

He roared and shook his mane merrily, like a pet lion, adjusting to his newfound strength.

His tail swung back and forth, and his suit seemed a tad too tight for him.

The buttons popped and flew away, and his nails shot out of his shoes, as well as his claws, elongating even more.

As a feeling, he could retract his claws at will.

The burst of energy had caused him to go full beast mode.

Roar!!!

Hahahhahaha~

His master had ranked up again.

Great!

As expected of his master.

Pandrol smiled, lowering his head to focus on his current task.

The system didn't speak, allowing Dorian time to stabilize himself in his current realm.

Any disturbances might cause accidents.

Like so, Dorian remained closed-eyed, seated cross-legged.

And while he took his time within the estate, the atmosphere was far different from calm.

.

What went on today?

Alice grabbed the curtains overlooking the left side of the building, lost in thought.

Their room was on ground level, and she, as well as the other doctors and nurses, had long gotten many glimpses of vehicles scattered across the left side of the estate.

The main estate was Hexagonal in shape.

Their room was on one of the slanted perimeters, allowing them to see the various choppers that flew in earlier.

The scene had been so shocking that they didn't even care to step out of their rooms.

Only those on shift were up in the main bedroom chamber.

And when it was time for breakfast and lunch, they headed to the staff dining sector, seeing their meals all lid with no one around.

The food was still hot when they took off the silver covers over them.

Look left, look right.

They didn't see anyone drop the meal or set the tables.

Even when approaching the scene, no one was around, as though the food had been placed by ghosts.

Typically, Butler Sheng would first wait for them to be seated before rolling in with his stream of trolleys to serve them.

However, today was different.

They entered the dining, seeing a full meal ready, with juice and water all available.

Suspicious!... Very suspicious!

Before coming, the breakfast bell had echoed about within their staff sleeping quarters.

As for those on shift, they would first have to clock out and wait for their shift change before having their breakfast when they come down.

Their food was appropriately stored in the gigantic public staff freezer on trays with their names on them.

.

Everything today had just been too strange.

Everyone was gathered in the room with many expressions on their faces.

Alice bit her lips, tightening her grip on the curtains.

"What do you guys think? Don't you think it's all weird? Aren't you all even a little curious?"

Alice was going crazy with these old geezers who didn't seem to want to do anything about the strangeness here.

You have to know that she was the youngest, with many in their late 30s or early 40s.

Dammit!

"You all should think about it. When we went into the dining room for breakfast, no one was on site. Even when passing through the kitchen, whether it was Butler Sheng or the others, after giving us instructions, they never came back to the staff quarters. So how can our empty dishes banish from the table and din themselves on the dragging racks?"

The more Alice spoke, the more sure she became.

That's right.

Even though they told her to stay in place, she had been snooping around but never seemed to be able to reach the Grand Hall to listen in on what they were saying.

She seemed to be going around in circles, wondering if this mansion was bigger than it appeared.

In the end, she decided to pass through the staff quarters and use the stairway to go up and listen in from there.

However, passing through the kitchen, she saw the dish she ate off was not only washed but left hanging and drying off.

How was that possible?

Do you know how many of them ate breakfast?

.

Each person used no less than 5 bowls and plates for cereal, fruits, and a full course breakfast meal with 2 glasses and a mug, in case anyone wanted tea, water, or juice.

So no matter how fast butler Sheng could wash everyone's dish, it was impossible to do it all in less than 45 minutes.

Of course, there were over 10 dishwashers in the kitchen.

However, how these dishes were dried off insinuated that they were being washed by hand. And even if one used a dishwasher, it wouldn't have been able to finish its cycle that fast.

Dishwashers cycle for 1~4 hours.

So what was this?

Could it be that apart from the 6 they saw, there were other staff members in the building they weren't aware of?

Shudder. Shudder.

The hairs on Alice's hands stood anxiously, wondering whether they spotted her or not if that was the case.

p Everything was just too suspicious!

The doctors and nurses all shook their heads wryly, looking at Alice, who was jumping about like an angered child.

In their eyes, that's how she looked.

"Child, why are you so bothered? We only came to do a simple job and leave. Being nosy will do no good."

Everyone nodded in agreement.

How old were they? They had lived this long and understood that some secrets could be detrimental for one to know.

As they say... Curiosity kills the Cat!
