Chapter 729 Cafe Lake Dragonia

Ferell drove into the parking lot of Cafe Lake Dragonia

The café was located just 30 yards southeast of Dragon Manor, nestled in a simple, five-story building

The entire building had five floors in total.

The café occupied the first and second floors.

The third floor was reserved for staff rest and office space.

The fourth and fifth floors were off-limits to everyone-private areas for the cafe's owner.

Behind the building was Lake Dragonia

Across the lake, on the other side, stood the back of Dragon Manor.

From a higher vantage point, the second floor of the café offered a clear view of Dragon Manor's rear garden.

The owner of the café was a mysterious figure, quiet and elusive.

No one knew much about him.

Very few had ever seen him in person.

It was rumored that he was an older man, probably in his fifties.

The employees and regular customers simply referred to him as Flint.

On

n most days, Flint stayed hidden away in a small, tucked-away room at the back of the cafe.

He didn't leave much.

Sometimes, though, he'd step out to greet the customers.

Everyone knew that when Flint appeared, it was a rare event. The cafe would run a special-everything was half-off. Sometimes, they'd even get their drinks for free. The cafe had been around for 20 years.

In all that time, no one had seen Flint make a fortune, nor had they ever noticed the cafe struggling.
