“Let’s wait a couple more days! Once the situation here stabilizes a little more, I’ll definitely go back with you guys.”

Barney was still concerned about the situation at hand.

“Sure, then let’s wait for a few more days.” Sophie had no issue with the arrangement.

Arius shrugged nonchalantly in response. “All right. You two can decide when it comes to things like this. I’m practically useless every time we’re caught in this kind of situation.”

Hence, Arius did not even bother to provide any insight. As long as Barney and Sophie agreed with each other, that was enough.

“Dr. Smith, I’m getting tired. I’ll be getting some rest now. You should too! It’s been a while since you’ve gotten quality rest,” Arius urged, unhappy at the fact that Barney had over-exerted himself as though he was still young. In Arius’ opinion, Barney should accept that he was getting old and that his body was not as strong as it used to be.

“All right. All right. I got it. I’ll go rest now.” Barney did not argue. After all, he knew that they always had his best interests at heart.

With that, Arius and Barney went to rest.

Likewise, Sophie and Tristan retired back into their room as well.

At that moment, Anglandur was in a state of chaos. It was a complete mess everywhere. Thus, there was no point in going out.

Soon after they returned to their room, Tristan received a call from Ophelia.

A line formed between Tristan’s brows as he frowned.

A situation had arisen at Lombard Group’s branch company. In the past, Felix and Ophelia were the ones in charge of dealing with such issues. However, Felix was not here at present, which meant that Tristan had to go over to investigate the problem himself.

“What’s wrong?” Upon noticing the sudden change in his expression, Sophie thought that something terrible had happened.

“It’s no big deal. I need to go out for a while. You can stay here and rest.” Since it was nothing major, Tristan did not think it necessary for Sophie to follow him.

To his surprise, Sophie latched onto his hand.
