The Devil’s Cage - Chapter 1387

Chapter 1387

After the clear voice from inside the House of Han entered everyone’s ears, Eckart was a little surprised but not dissatisfied .

“One of the rules of the House of Han: it picks its customers . ”

“Mr . Dao will only cook customers that he deems worthy . ”

“As for others? Well…” Eckart shrugged .

Although he didn’t finish his sentence, his meaning was obvious .

“2567, I’ll wait for you outside the bamboo forest . I know we are not worthy of Mr . Dao’s dishes, but the bakery here serves nice pastries as well . ”

Eckart then nodded at Kieran and brought the group with him out of the bamboo forest as if he was walking in his own backyard .

No one in the group would argue with Eckart, though, since all of them were hired muscle .

As the group followed Eckart away, Lyn Amie purposely slowed down and was the last to leave .

“Remember to taste it carefully and tell me what have you eaten and how it tasted,” Lyn Amie said softly to Kieran .

The makeup artist also liked to eat a lot, being able to eat something delicious would be an utmost blessing to him . Therefore, when he entered the bamboo forest, he was quite looking forward to the meal, but unfortunately, he couldn’t come .

Of course, given Lyn Amie’s character, he would feel pity but not hate or dissatisfaction .

After another backward glance at the House of Han, Lyn Amie waved at Kieran and jogged to chase after Eckart and the bodyguards .

Kieran watched the group leave before turning to the House of Han .

At the doorstep of House of Han, there was a 2 meter long, half-meter wide stone stairs . Kieran walked up, the sound of his footsteps followed .

Another female attendant with a maid outfit came with a pair of loose slippers .

“Please change your shoes,” the maid bowed and bent down, obviously wanting to do it for Kieran .

“I’ll change them myself,” Kieran said softly before taking the pair of slippers and putting them on his feet .

It was not that he wasn’t used to this kind of service, Kieran just didn’t want to fall into their pace . When the slippers were put on, Kieran went inside the House of Han .

The wooden flooring was sturdy and clean . The windows were opened, the night breeze was blowing through, dispersing the heat of the summer .

Oil lamps were arranged neatly on the racks at the flanks after the entrance . The shelves had three layers, and the fire of the oil lamps of each layer was dancing under the breeze, yet none were extinguished . The shadow and light of the interior were wavy due to the fluttering flames .

With the light from the oil lamps, Kieran glanced over the decorations of the interior . There was nothing in particular, because other than the rack housing the oil lamps, there was nothing else .

The extra private rooms on the left and right were closed .

Kieran went up to the room on the left because the voice came from there .

Bak Bak Bak!

Kieran knocked on the sturdy wooden door .

“Come in,” the heavy and powerful voice sounded again .

The sturdy wooden door was slowly opened up and a beautiful and tall woman that welcomed Kieran behind the door .

The lady was judging Kieran with her gaze . She then subtly moved aside and made way for Kieran’s entrance . Despite the almost flawless concealment, Kieran still sensed a sense of disgust on her .

However, what interested Kieran more was her body, or rather her physique .

Even with clothes on, Kieran realized her muscles were bulging, and she was in her fittest form possible . It was already hard for a man to achieve such a body, let alone a lady, which made her more impressive .

In addition to that, she was able to maintain her body’s consistency rather than only achieving the ideal body physique .

She was so fit that she could have fought 10 common men alone and swiftly ended the battle single-handedly .

The calluses on her palms told Kieran that she wasn’t just skilled in hand-to-hand combat, but also short knives and firearms .

Based on how she moved her steps aside, Kieran was very sure that her legs were also a pair of killer weapons .

Kieran was most skilled in kicking combat, so he was clear what her obedient look represented: a venomous viper hiding in the shadows .

Hiding in the shadows when still, delivering the lethal blow when moving .

“Bodyguard? Or… killer?” Kieran wondered and compared her to Gorbor .

Kieran shook his head in the end .

There were still differences in terms of strength .

Gorbor, as one of the ace bodyguards of the security company, had undoubted strength and professionalism, but compared to the lady, he was still a bit lackluster .

The thought in Kieran’s mind didn’t slow his movements, though .

When the lady moved aside, Kieran stepped into the room, and he saw a rather skinny man .

The man was wearing elegant white Chinese clothing, his slightly long hair was placed over his shoulder, and when the man caught Kieran’s gaze, he smiled warmly .

“Good evening, 2567,” the loud and heavy voice came from the man .

If the skinny man didn’t show himself, one would think the voice was from a strong and buff, robust man, but when the man spoke in such a voice, a contradicting feeling would fill one’s mind, together with loads of curiosity .

“Em . Good evening, Mr . Dao,” Kieran nodded, stood there, and looked at the man quietly .

No questions, no answers, as if the silence was typical .

“Please, sit . ”

“Liu Ye, bring me the ingredients that I’ve prepared . ”

The man pointed at the wooden stool in front of him before giving his order to the tall woman .

The woman went out without a word, which was followed by the door closing .

Kieran was left alone with the man inside the room . The man’s smile got warmer, he stood up and walked towards the cupboard beside him .

Unlike the empty hall at the entrance, this room was well-equipped .

The table and chairs were placed in the middle, on the left side of the wall after the entrance was a 3-meter wide cupboard which touched the ceiling; on the right-hand side were three more racks, one taller than the other two and on top of the shelves were lush bonsai . With the light from the candle on the table, it looked even more alluring .

On the wall across from the entrance was a large multi-section cabinet, as big as the wall itself . The cabinet split the room into two sections, and it had many different compartments and drawers of various sizes, holding all sorts of ceramic jars and weird sculptures . Some of them were sculptures of animals; some of them were human; at the top of the cabinet was a rolled-up scroll .

The man stood in front of the cabinet, pulled out a drawer, and took out an incense burner, incense coil, and a tea set . Then, he walked over to another compartment, which held a ceramic jar, and took out some tea leaves before he went around another section to grab a transparent glass bottle .

He came back to the table and said, “I’ve collected some tea leaves . Not the best, but it will fit with the dishes tonight, making it a smoother experience . ”

“Oh, and you can call me Boss Dao,” said Boss Dao as he started to make tea with a pleasant look .

“Mn,” Kieran replied with his nasal voice and didn’t say anything else .

He didn’t know how to enjoy tea, neither did he know anything about tea .

But when the aroma of the tea filled the room, Kieran was sure the ‘not the best tea’ he said was quite exquisite .

Kieran then took his cup of tea without being too courteous after being served .

However, before Kieran’s lips touched the cup, Boss Dao spoke .

“The dead, do they really exist?”
