Chapter 213
Astrid couldn't help but laugh at the little guy's antics, "Roman, you're blocking my view. I can't see the floor."
"I am your eyes. I don't want people to recognize you. I want you to keep hanging out with me!" Roman clung onto Astrid's neck, "I'll protect you!"
"Haha, alright. I owe you one then!" Astrid, with her sight blocked by her hat, moved forward carefully while hugging Roman.
She was scared of bumping into someone.
There were tons of guys called Quincy in the world, so why did she choose to meet the Quincy from the dark web?
For one reason only, this dude was from Sunhaven.
If that guy back in the day could vanish without a trace, he must've had some pull. As his right-hand man, Quincy wouldn't be an ordinary man.
And the Quincy from the dark web was the second in command of the second-ranked organization on the dark web. So she needed to meet this dude.
She was leaving the country tomorrow to meet Quincy. The thought of not seeing Roman for a few days made her feel kinda bummed, so she decided to take him out for some fresh air.
She took a shine to him from the first moment they met. After spending some time together, she found herself really enjoying his company. Having him around seemed to brighten her mood.
Elio got out of the car and picked up some casual clothes from a nearby shop. After changing into his new threads and putting on a mask, he headed to the arcade.
After wandering around the third floor for a bit, he spotted Astrid and Roman engrossed in a zombie game.
He recognized them instantly, even though he could only see their backs..
Both were wearing Pikachu hats, carrying Pikachu backpacks, and looking pretty darn cute.
Just as they beat the game, Roman shot up and threw himself at Astrid, shouting, "Awesome! You're the best!!"
Astrid, holding Roman, got up to head to the next game when she saw Elio not too far away.
Roman looked at Elio, who was staring at Astrid, and said with disdain, "Check out Elio. He looks like he's never been out in the world!"
Astrid chuckled and walked towards Elio while holding Roman, "Elio, got a favorite game? Let's play together!"
Roman shouted. "Elio never plays games!!!"
"Today, you'll see what a real gamer looks like!" Elio grabbed Roman from Astrid, "Astrid's so skinny; how can you keep making her carry you?" "I'm strong enough; I can handle it!" Astrid reached to take back Roman, but Roman kicked his little legs and reached out, trying to jump back into Astrid's arms.
But Elio wasn't having any of it. He held onto Roman tightly, "Roman, what did I do wrong that you hate me holding you so much?" Roman replied, "Astrid's embrace is so warm and soft; you've never been held by her, so you wouldn't know how wonderful it feels." Elio furrowed his brow. Besides when she was sleepwalking, Astrid never really hugged him voluntarily.
