YM778.TV Chapter 121: Do You Like Him?
After some consideration, he decided to go to another building to experiment. "You should wait here with Olivia, just in case she needs your help."
Emily nodded. She didn\'t feel worried since the area near them had already been checked by Petricia and Zargath.
She then turned her gaze to the scenery. "What a big city. If every building can glow like this, it will make a beautiful view."
Emily could see whoever designed the city did it with aesthetics in mind, despite everything being in square form.
Some buildings were taller than others; the highest building she saw reached around 59 feet (18 meters).
If every building glowed, she felt it would turn into a beautiful pattern of lights, not to mention if it could glow in different colors.
Her lips then curled upward into a beautiful smile.
There\'s one thing Emily keeps in her heart every time she comes to a dungeon; she enjoys the scenery. She didn\'t tell anyone because she knew they were on a mission risking their life, not on a sightseeing tour, but she just couldn\'t help it.
She loved finding new places like this. For Emily, it just reminded her how vast the world was, with many things waiting for her to discover.
Each place, told many stories, a story waiting for someone to discover it.
"People risk their lives for the exotic resources in dungeons, and to make sure there are no dungeon breaks, but honestly, for me, even without those, I wouldn\'t mind risking my life just to see this," Emily mumbled in a somber tone.
Just looking at the area, Emily could already imagine the city thriving, with the door and some furniture she had seen; she was sure the species living here was also humanoid.
With how intact the building was, Emily suspected the building was abandoned. She then planned to go around, looking at the area to find more clues about what happened.
Emily then took a step, walking back to the camp.
"Aunt Olivia, do you need any help?" she asked while looking at Quartz and Zold, who were still unconscious.
"No, both of them are fine. Where is that stupid brother of yours?"
"Ah, he ran away, saying he wanted to check something about the crystal."
Olivia clicked her tongue in annoyance. "Just you wait, Alex!" she mumbled.
Seeing Olivia\'s expression, Emily let out a small chuckle, "Why are you like this, Aunt Olivia? Do you like my brother?"
Although she asked this, she was sure Olivia had feelings for her brother; otherwise, she wouldn\'t react like this.
This made her feel confused, what happened between them made Olivia fall for Alex, but Emily didn\'t want to pry into his relationship.
It\'s not that she wasn\'t curious, but she knew if she did that, Alex would do the same to her personal life.
Alex was always a vengeful person, and in Emily\'s opinion, he was petty too; no matter how small the grievance, he always returned it.
Hearing her question, Olivia\'s cheeks turned a shade of red. "What... What are you talking about, Emily? I\'m just angry with his remark!
I told you, I just gave him a whole speech on taking risks alone, but now he says something similar again!
How could he think it will only be his problem?"
Since Olivia denied it, Emily didn\'t press her for an answer.
"I\'m not taking my brother\'s side here, Aunt Emily, but if people could change with only one speech, the world would be a better place now."
Olivia knew what Emily said was right. \'Am I too hasty?\' she asked herself. But every time she saw Alex, she couldn\'t help feeling annoyed with him.
Deep inside, she felt wronged, even though it didn\'t make sense; she couldn\'t help to feel like that.
\'You are the one saying you like me, even though I rejected you. How can you just forget all those feelings, that Fast! Am I now the only one…\' Olivia then let out a helpless sigh.
"Aunt, I want to look around the area. Will you be alright?"
"I am fine, just don\'t go too far, so you can come back in case something happens," Olivia replied without looking at Emily, her mind still busy thinking of her own feelings.
Emily then moved, wanting to leave the camp, but Olivia\'s voice reached her ear, making her stop.
"I always forget to tell you this, but Emily, just call me \'sis\' like your brother does. It\'s just weird you call me \'aunt,\' while he calls me \'sis.\'"
Emily didn\'t mind the request, so she agreed to it and then left the camp. Her first destination was the building she was standing on.
She looked around the crystal rooftop and then found a trap door on the slanted area of the roof.
There was also another door at the front, but Emily was interested in finding a way to open the trap door. The reason she found this is because she knocked around the area and heard this one was hollow.
\'Since this is just a normal home, it should be easy to open for them.\'
Emily then tried randomly pressing the area around the trap door. Her lips curled into a smile when her hand found something.
The place didn\'t look different from the eyes, but when Emily\'s finger reached it, it passed through like there was nothing blocking her hand.
Feeling around the area, Emily found something like a knob; she pushed it down, then a click sound could be heard.
The trap door then pushed forward, becoming slightly raised. With a simple push, the trap door opened, showing a staircase down to the house.
What she saw amazed her; not only was the knob not hard to press, but even when the trap door opened, there was no dust at all.
Going inside the house, Emily found everything was clean; there was a table, a chair, and some cupboards.
\'Other than the material, it\'s not that much different from the furniture that I usually use.\'
