The open-air garden was already covered with heavy snow. Due to a shortage of manpower and the fact that this place was not very important, the old housekeeper did not send anyone to clean it up. The snow piled up more and more, almost covering everything.
Arthur groped his way among the white snow, found the stone bench, wiped away the snow on it, and sat down.
The garden was very quiet, but one could faintly hear noises coming from the surrounding buildings. Some of the voices were quite familiar. They sounded like Lorenzo's. This guy always had a very loud voice when he got mad, just like an actor on stage, eager to attract everyone's attention.
"Aren't you going in?"
A voice sounded, and then Seleu came from behind.
"No, you can just talk to Lorenzo about this. My presence will only disturb everyone's interest."
Arthur smiled. He knew very well that he was not suitable for such a happy occasion, at least not for other people.
In the eyes of Shrike, Blue Emerald and others, he is a serious boss, in the eyes of Eve, he is a conservative father, and in the eyes of Lorenzo... Well, let's not consider this rotten guy Lorenzo for now.
After various considerations, Arthur finally chose to wait here.
"The house is filled with a youthful atmosphere, and an old guy like me can't adapt to it."
He looked at the window where the sound came from and said to Seleu.
"Yeah, okay."
Seleucus didn't say much and just stood beside him.
"Aren't you going to sit down?"
Arthur pointed to the stone bench beside him, which he had also wiped clean.
"No, it's very cold."
Seleu responded indifferently. Hearing this, Arthur was stunned for a moment, then laughed even louder.
"Okay, okay, anyway, it's hard for us to interfere with these things right now, isn't it?"
Arthur looked at the heavy snow and said helplessly.
"Young people are great. You have done a great job. Deus ex machina is foolproof. It is time for me to step down and leave these matters to you."
Seleu nodded without making any further comments.
"Watson's report has been circulated among the nation builders. Her report was very timely. There have been changes in the Seven Hills. We initially suspect..."
As he spoke, Seleu's voice became lower, hiding the unspeakable nightmare.
"Did you tell Lorenzo all this?" asked Arthur.
"No, it's a rare day off, and I don't want him to be too stressed."
"Yes, maybe this is the last vacation," Arthur pointed out Seleu's worries, "You know you can't stop him."
Seleu was silent for a few seconds, then nodded reluctantly.
"yes."
"Alas, there is nothing we can do about it. You know he is a stubborn guy," Arthur said. "Besides all this, we are also speeding up the mobilization to cooperate with you, and we have some new information here."
"What news?"
"The news comes from Gaul Naro. I have been sending spies there for so long, and they have finally brought back some useful information," Arthur said with a proud look on his face. "Those old guys are not completely useless."
"What's wrong?"
