Chapter 512: Chapter 476 That woman… (Part 2) Chapter 512: Chapter 476 That woman… (Part 2) “`
Although Abraham couldn’t fully grasp what Athena intended to do, he still arrived at Mairente City at the first opportunity, and then went to the hotel where Athena was staying.
Although the city Athena arrived at was only a medium-sized Sky City, it was naturally well-developed since it belonged to the Mairente family, and the whole city was thriving, with all sorts of facilities fully equipped, incomparable to an ordinary city.
And soon after arriving here, Abraham had a meeting with Athena.
“It’s Master Abraham, my apologies for not greeting you from afar.”
Despite Abraham’s sudden, unannounced appearance, Athena didn’t seem at all surprised to see him.
Upon seeing Abraham at the door, she politely invited him into the room, and upon entering, Abraham saw the tea and refreshments that had already been prepared.
Clearly, Athena was not only unsurprised by his arrival, but she had also been waiting for him.
Of course, this was normal; conversely, if Athena didn’t know of his return, that would have been abnormal.
And once the two of them were seated in the room in their respective places, Abraham asked very politely, “Miss Athena, what brought you here? Do you miss my cousin?”
Abraham’s cousin was naturally Cyril.
“I’ve been in touch with Cyril quite often, she’s doing well, and my coming here isn’t about her.”
Athena casually picked up the teacup, took a sip, and said nonchalantly, “Don’t worry, Master Abraham, I just got bored staying in Glory City, so I thought I’d step out for a stroll, that’s all.”
That’s all?
Hearing this, Abraham snorted inwardly. He might believe this statement from someone else, but coming from Athena, it was certainly not to be trusted.
“Miss Athena, if you want to clear your mind, why not visit my father’s Sky City? It’s even more prosperous there, and there are more places to unwind.”
“Thank you, but I think it’s quite nice here…”
With a light laugh and a shake of her head, Athena declined Abraham’s invitation and then steered the conversation elsewhere, “Master Abraham, I’ve heard that this Mairente City used to have a different name?”
Giving Abraham a glance, Athena asked slowly.
“What?”
Upon hearing this question, Abraham frowned immediately, gazing intently back at Athena.
“What do you want to know that for?”
“It’s nothing, I just remember talking about this city with Cyril some time ago. She mentioned that it didn’t have this name two years ago, it was changed later, right?”
“Miss Athena, this involves our family’s private affairs, so I’d prefer not to explain.”
“Oh, I was being too curious.”
With a slight smile at Abraham, Athena began leisurely drinking her tea and eating snacks, no longer speaking.
Seeing her lose the desire to continue the conversation, Abraham, although perplexed and slightly irritated, eventually let it go, exchanged a few courtesies, and then prepared to take his leave.
But just as he turned to leave, it was as if he suddenly remembered something and stopped, then sat down again in front of Athena.
“Master Abraham, is there something else?”
“`
Watching Abraham stand up and then sit down again, Athena asked with a smile.
“This…”
Her question seemed to make Abraham hesitate, as if he wanted to speak but stopped himself.
“Master Abraham, if there’s anything you wish to ask, please feel free to do so.”
“This… I am troubled…”
Hearing Athena say this, Abraham thought for a moment and then asked, “Miss Athena, you must have heard about the troubles our Mairente Family is facing… I would like to ask, what should our family do from now on?”
Athena was a very fearsome woman, loved yet feared by everyone. They loved her because she was so smart that she seemed to have the ability to anticipate everything, nothing could be hidden from her discerning eyes, and she always had a solution for every problem. However, people feared her precisely because she was too clever, making it seem as if there were no secrets from her, which was terrifying for some.
Now that such a woman had come to his family and appeared before him, Abraham felt that if he didn’t ask for her opinion on the family’s situation, wouldn’t he be missing an opportunity?
Moreover, based on Athena’s consistent reputation, she would either remain silent or speak the truth; she would never lie. Therefore, if she could provide a clear path forward for the family, it would surely be a good thing.
The fear was that Athena would choose not to involve herself in the family’s affairs, keeping her lips sealed. If that were the case, Abraham would have no recourse.
Fortunately, it seemed Athena was in good spirits today, so when Abraham had just finished asking his question, she smiled and promptly said:
“Rest assured, Master Abraham, as long as your noble family satisfies the war reparations required by the Alliance, the Sky Alliance will not continue to trouble you. A rise from the ashes will not be difficult afterward.”
“Really?”
“Truly.”
“Whew… that’s such a relief…”
Seeing Athena’s certainty, Abraham sighed with relief.
What Athena had said might have seemed no different from offering comfort, but these words were hers, and Abraham certainly wouldn’t have believed them if they had come from anyone else. But coming from Athena, it was a different matter.
So after that, he bowed deeply to Athena and departed with even more respect than upon his arrival.
“Hehe…”
Watching Abraham leave, Athena revealed a playful smile and then looked towards her Magic Energy Projector.
While Abraham was there, the Magic Energy Projector had been flickering with light, indicating someone was trying to contact Athena. Now that Abraham had left, Athena approached the projector.
Arriving at the projector and seeing the continuous flickering light, she sighed helplessly and activated the Magic Energy Projector.
A beam of red light flashed, and the Magic Energy Projector cast the image of a young girl. It was none other than Athena’s good friend from Glory City—Anya.
“Athena, what are you up to? Why did it take you so long to answer!”
As the Magic Energy Projector turned on, Anya’s image appeared, and she pouted cutely, showing an annoyed yet adorable expression.
“I had a guest just now, so it wasn’t convenient.”
Shaking her head with a smile, Athena didn’t elaborate further and casually asked, “Anya, what’s the rush in finding me?”
“What else could it be, I missed you! Athena, when will you come back? It’s so boring here without you!”
