The Queen They Buried

Chapter 21

The base of God’s Fury was a luxury villa by the river, four stories high. The first floor was the living room; the second had bedrooms for the members and coaches; the third was a remodeled training room, and the fourth was a flat-level gym.

When Alvin brought Aubree here, the team’s support player, Hector, stumbled down from the second floor with messy hair and sleepy eyes. “Alvin, are you here for training? Is this pretty lady your girl?”

Alvin’s eye twitched. Thinking of Bowen’s inexplicable concern for Aubree, he retorted inwardly, ‘My girl? My Aunt-in-law might be more accurate.’

“No, she’s the new mage player I brought in, nicknamed ‘Phoenix,” he replied.

Hector’s drowsy eyes immediately perked up at his words, widening from a slit to a perfect circle. “Alvin, you mean this lady is going to replace Killian?”

The villa was a birthday gift from Alvin’s family when he was a kid. It wasn’t extensively renovated, so the soundproofing wasn’t great.

At the sound of a shout from Hector, the other members half-asleep on the second floor all poked their heads out.

The looks they gave Aubree were all the same-full of disbelief, and some even hid disdain.
