Socially anxious people transmigrate to another world; living in seclusion is too difficult.

After Carol explained, Lena realized she couldn't talk for too long, so after they finished discussing it, she followed Carol out of the attic and back down to the first floor.

"Carol, I think your bracelet is of pretty good quality, and there are no flaws." As soon as they returned to the first floor, Lena pretended to discuss the non-existent bracelet with Carol.

“Right? I’ve never been able to tell. Luckily, Sister Lena is here today.” Carol said with a smile. At the same time, she noticed that two soldiers had appeared in the first-floor reception room. Looking at her father sitting on the sofa, Fezzie winked at her slightly, and she knew that these two soldiers must be the monitors sent by Bo An.

The group chatted for a while longer before the Black Whale Squad took their leave. Fitch didn't ask Carol anything further, but after seeing the Black Whale Squad off, he left home for headquarters.

Back at the inn, the five discussed the situation in Captain Adeline's room. Sward spoke first: "I feel there's no hope. Forget about helping, we can't even find anyone right now. Besides, we might not even be able to get out of the North Gate ourselves. Our plans have been completely disrupted."

Ignoring Sward's complaints, Adeline turned to Lena and asked, "Did you and Carol really go upstairs to look at the bracelet earlier? What did she say to you? Did she give you any useful clues?" She bombarded Lena with a series of questions for her to answer.

Lena was silent for a while, hesitating whether to tell her companion the truth. In the end, she decided not to say it and instead said, "Yes, she recently obtained an A-grade bracelet, but she didn't say anything else. She hasn't seen Su Yang and the others either."

"So what do we do now? Do we have to stay here?" Natalie asked after hearing this.

"Lena, what do you think?" Andy asked as well.

“I’d like to try again. Let’s stay in Cali for a few more days and see if we can find any useful clues,” Lena suggested. In reality, she was waiting for her father’s reply, as agreed with Carol.

“Then we’ll stay for three more days. After three days, no matter what the outcome, we’ll leave.” Adeline made the decision. As the team leader, she had to consider the team’s needs. Besides, she was Slivia and didn’t know Su Yang at all. She was only willing to help because of Lena’s request.

After a pointless day of searching, the next day arrived quickly. Lena was about to leave the inn to pretend to search the streets when she ran into Carol as soon as she stepped out of the inn.

"Why are you here? Is it because..." Lena was about to ask if her father's reply had arrived, but then she remembered she couldn't ask in the street, so she whispered, "Is there a result regarding that matter?"

“Yes, Lena, I just came to invite you to my house to try my mom’s desserts,” Carol said with a smile.

“Okay, then I’ll go with you now.” Lena seemed a little anxious; she couldn’t wait to know what her father had to say.

The two arrived at Carol's house and had dessert and chatted with Carol's mother. However, Lena couldn't sit still, her mind preoccupied with her father's reply. Finally, when Carol's mother had to leave, Lena eagerly asked, "What did my father say?"

"Sister Lena, don't worry, let's wait for my father to come back before we talk about it," Carol comforted her.

Just then, Fitzgerald walked in from outside. As soon as he entered, he said seriously to Carol, "Carol, how many times have I told you, you need to eat less dessert. It's not good for your health!"

Somewhat bewildered by Fitzgerald's reprimand, Carol asked疑惑地问道, "Father, didn't you always..."

Before she could finish speaking, Fei Qi shouted, "You dare to talk back! You're completely lawless!" He even picked up a cup from the table and smashed it on the ground. The sound attracted a soldier who stood at the door and looked at Fei Qi.

"Do you think you're all grown up now and can disobey your family? Don't forget you're still a soldier! Soldiers must obey orders. I'm your superior, and my words are law! Do you understand?"

Carol felt wronged by her father's words. She didn't understand why he was suddenly so angry with her, but she could only swallow her anger and whisper, "I understand, Father."

"Speak louder! Didn't you eat a lot of desserts? Aren't you full?!" Fezi roared loudly, startling Lena.

"Understood, Father!"

After receiving a firm reply, Fech turned to leave, but as soon as he turned around, he saw the soldier standing at the door. Fech shouted angrily, "What are you still doing standing here! Don't you need to train? When did I say you didn't need to train?!"

It must be said that Fech's authority was not something that ordinary people could withstand. After being reprimanded, the soldier immediately saluted and then left tremblingly. Soon after Fech left the room, he was heard reprimanding others like a mad dog. He cursed all the soldiers and servants waiting in the mansion and drove them all out of the mansion.

Carol realized something was wrong. Even if she had angered her father, it didn't warrant him cursing all the soldiers and servants. She immediately realized that her father's actions had a hidden purpose, and it was possible that a reply from Duke Litt of the royal city had arrived.

Having made this guess, she continued to pretend to be sad. Lena believed her and went up to comfort her: "It's okay, it's okay. Once Commander Fech has calmed down, you can talk to him properly."

After saying that, Lena realized that it was not appropriate for her to stay any longer, so she stood up and said, "I'll go back first, and come find me when you have news."

Just as she was about to leave, Carol grabbed her hand. Lena turned around in confusion and saw Carol playfully sticking out her tongue at her, whispering, "Wait a while before you leave. The reply is definitely in Father's hands."

Then Carol stood up, went out of the room and looked around. Sure enough, the mansion doors were tightly closed, there were no soldiers or servants, and her father was nowhere to be found. Carol then pulled Lena and went straight upstairs.

Upon reaching the second floor, Lena, led by Carol, arrived at a room. Carol gently knocked on the door, and a stern voice immediately came from inside: "Come in!"

Carol led Lena through the door and into the room, which was a study. Fitch was sitting at his desk with a piece of paper in front of him, carefully reading its contents. When Carol came in, Fitch smiled and said, "My dear daughter, I must have scared you. Please forgive me. I had no other choice but to resort to this."

“I understand, Father, but after we’ve finished talking, you’ll have to tell me how you’re going to make it up to me,” Carol said, feigning a wronged expression.

"Alright, alright, whatever you say, Miss Lena. His Excellency the Duke's reply has arrived. Let's discuss it together."
