Chapter 1669: All thanks to Hugo

Earlier that day...

As the night approached, Kiara and Cassandra bid Grace farewell. They didn't want to overstay, considering they had spent their entire day in Grace's home. But as they were walking out of the building, Kiara paused.

"Hmm?" Cassandra hummed, looking at her friend with confusion. "What is it, Ki?"

Kiara pursed her lips before she said softly, "Aren't we supposed to be careful? Because... you know?"

Hearing this, both were quiet for a moment. They remained standing just a step out of the building's entrance. After a second, Cassandra pulled up her hood. It was a good thing she was able to bring Kiara's hoodie last night.

Kiara watched her friend cover herself, sighing internally. 'That's not what I meant... but I guess it's what's best for us for now.'

She didn't like the thought of seeing her friend act like she needed to hide. But with the effect of the ongoing case, they had no choice.

"Do you think someone recognized me?" asked Cassandra, pulling her hood down more until it was almost covering her eyes.

"Nope." Kiara shook her head. "If they did, they would've been taking pictures of you... or something like that, right? You're not a celebrity, but you're quite famous nowadays."

Her bubbly shift in tone and her wide smile made Cassandra wonder if she should laugh or be insulted. But in the end-

"Pfft-" Cassandra stifled a laugh, covering her lips with the back of her hand.

"Hehe." Kiara smacked her lips, then huffed. "Anyway, we seemed to have forgotten the reason why we witnessed Anteca's Lieutenant General beg his big brother. Do you think we should go back to my place?"

Cassandra shrugged. "Anywhere is fine, but I'm worried about our safety."

"Me too..." Kiara pressed her lips into a thin line as she pondered what to do, where to go.
