Love Burned, She Rose Unscathed

Chapter 630

The sight that greeted them was a five-story building that seemed to have sprung up overnight.

It looked brand spanking new, yet it stood in stark contrast to its surroundings - a landscape dominated by barren soil and construction sites. Edna scoffed, "What kind of lab sets up shop here? Only Roseanne could pick such a spot to pull a fast one."

Babur, who had been relatively calm up until now, felt even more at ease.

Just some small-time tomfoolery, trying to stir up attention from the university? How naïve!

"Let's head out. Nothing to see here. Total waste of a trip," Edna muttered.

Babur squinted and then his eyes widened in shock, "Mr. Lorenzo?! What are you doing here?!"

Mr. Lorenzo was a legend in the Computer Science department at Kingswell University, long since retired.

Babur had taken his course during his undergrad years and had stayed on as a faculty member, turning their relationship from that of student and teacher to colleagues. They had remained on good terms. Just last week, Babur had called to check in on Lorenzo.

"Weren't you off to Thornhaven for the winter? How come..."

Lorenzo chuckled, "Couldn't get used to it. After spending a lifetime in Lumina City, everywhere else just seems lacking."

"And you're here because?"
