Time Travel: Age of Discovery

Seeing her hurried look, Teya thought something serious must have happened, but she was hesitant and he could get nothing out of her questioning. After a long stalemate, Teya had no choice but to sit back in his chair.

He had previously used a little force to test it, and found that Lilia's strength should not be underestimated. Although it may not be as strong as Tina, she is no ordinary person.

If a fight really happened, Teya would certainly not be afraid, but Lilia's desperate attitude at this moment made him feel quite difficult, and for a moment, he was at a loss what to do.

Sitting in the chair, Teya's thoughts were in a tizzy, secretly guessing the woman's intentions: Did she want to deeply tap into her potential value and treat herself as a distinguished guest?

Or was it that she was troubled by emotional matters and saw herself as someone she could confide in? Lilia was still standing at the stairs, her heart beating like a drum, feeling uneasy.

What her subordinate had just reported had nearly made her pale with fear. It turned out her neurotic father had suddenly appeared, and it was unknown what kind of trouble he had caused, and he seemed to have brought a young man with him.

Lilia suddenly sensed something was wrong, remembering her father had arranged a verbal marriage for her. She had taken over the place as a sign of resistance, as this was a matter of dignity and could not be compromised easily.

Her previous action of stopping Teya was actually done in a desperate situation. As for why she left Teya here, even she herself couldn't explain it, but her intuition told her that Teya might be able to help her solve the problem.

At this moment, the sound of approaching footsteps could be heard from downstairs. Teya stood up and bowed, saying, "Miss Lilia, I have urgent business to attend to, so I'm sorry I can't see you off."

Lilia called out urgently, but before Teya could respond, she heard a man's voice coming from downstairs: "My daughter should be upstairs now. Well, go and do your thing."

Hearing this name, Teya turned around and looked at Lilia in surprise. At this moment, Lilia's face was covered in cold sweat, and her panic was beyond words, just like when she was facing strict tutoring as a child.

It was too late to leave now, and staying where he was would be even more inappropriate. Teya sat down again, casually picking up the official newspaper on the table and pretending to glance through it. This move made Lilia look at Teya with a new eye, and she couldn't help but admire him.

Suddenly, a voice called out, "You don't have to follow me. Come with me, my nephew, to meet your fiancée."

After hearing this, Teya nearly dropped the official report in his hand, thinking to himself that this situation was not good. This time, it had become a Shura field. However, he forced himself to remain calm, and an idea came to his mind.

Teya took a deep breath, stood up and said loudly: "Miss Lilia, I wish your business is prosperous. If you need anything in the future, I will definitely come to patronize you again. Farewell." After that, Teya walked straight to the stairs.

Lilia was almost furious at the sight, but she knew she couldn't blame Teya; after all, he was just an innocent outsider. However, when Teya reached the stairs, he encountered the newcomer, and Lilia was suddenly caught in a dilemma, standing in the middle, feeling torn between two options.

"Oh? A visitor is coming..."

The first person Teya noticed was an old man with an unfriendly face and a look of suspicion. However, Teya's eyes were drawn to the golden hair behind the old man. He frowned and turned his head slightly, and happened to meet the man's eyes.

"Ah? Why is it you…"

"Hey! What are you doing..."

The two spoke in unison, obviously not expecting to meet again here. Both of them looked confused, as if they had something to hide.

At this moment, the father and daughter looked at each other, confused. However, Teya suddenly remembered the man's face. It was the man he met when he and Smoker and Tina were looking for a merchant ship to explore Floating Island.

At that time, this person required each person to pay 100,000 Baileys before they could board the ship and join the Chamber of Commerce. What I still remember vividly is the name "Palace Trading Company".

However, the blond man did not recognize Teya. Although he had run the Chamber of Commerce for many years and had developed a keen eye for identifying customers, he had no business dealings with Teya. In addition, Teya covered his face that day, so he naturally could not recognize him.

At this moment, Teya was speechless and choked up. The complexity of the world made him exhausted. Looking around, the small space seemed even more cramped.

The four of them sat on each side in silence, and the atmosphere became increasingly subtle. Teya, in particular, felt as if he had been pierced by the old man's sharp eyes.

"Well, I can't stay any longer, so I'll take my leave first."

Teya finally broke the deadlock, but the other three, especially the father and daughter, obviously had no intention of letting him leave easily.

All these troubles were caused by Lilia. At this moment, she knew very well that she had put Carlos in an awkward situation, but she didn't know how to deal with it.

Perhaps thanks to this misunderstanding, there is still a glimmer of hope that the matter can be resolved.

However, if Teya knew what she was thinking, he would probably be extremely angry.

Lilia's father looked at Teya and the blond man and asked, "When did you two meet?"

Teya remembered the blond man's identity, but didn't dare to speak directly. So she replied, "We first met during a voyage, and we happened to be on the same ship."

The blond man sat upright in the chair, looking calm, as if everything had nothing to do with him, which saved Teya a lot of words of explanation.
