Looking at the king sized bed in front of him, he couldn't help but feel amazed by its size change. "That's pretty cool, isn't it?" Annette asked gleefully next to him.
"It truly is. This is a very useful feature of the bed. I thought I may need to buy a new bed to replace this one in the future, if I ever needed to invite guests over." Lain replied, with a smile. He knew he was short of money, so a new bed would've been hard to acquire as he was right now. This feature truly saved him from future trouble.
After another two minutes of Annette looking around the room, while Lain played with the holographic screen in front of him. Adjusting the settings of the furniture in the room, Annette finally said to him. "Well, that should be the end of the house tour. The back of the house, from what I can see, is just a forest of overgrown Riddlegrain grass, and Old Pike trees. Old Pike is the name of triangular red colored trees, if you're wondering. They have a slightly sweet citrus-like scent and taste to their leaves that makes them a favorite snack for children in our city to snack on."
"I see. Thanks for the help! I'll try plucking the some leaves in the future, they may be great for brewing tea" Lain replied, before they both walked out of the room, towards Hui Shi, who was standing in front of the floor to ceiling window in the kitchen, pondering over things Lain, and Annette were unaware of.
"Brother Lain, I would hold off on bringing guests over right now. I heard you earlier mention this, and I would caution you on this, since I believe we're being monitored by the Fang Clan." Hui Shi said gloomily with a look of concern written on his face, as he saw Lain and Annette walk towards him.
"We're being monitored?" Annette replied in shock. Before looking around desperately. She couldn't help but shiver, since she didn't notice anything strange, even though after Mon Dupa's appearance, she became a lot more alert of her surroundings subconsciously.
"Really?" Lain asked as well, while looking around in slight doubt. He was too focused on the house tour earlier to pay attention to his surroundings. He had just arrived in the city, so he thought he should have no enemies.
"Yes. I just saw a monitoring insect patrolling the outside of the house, that I believe may be from the Fang Clan. There aren't many insect controlling will powers in this kingdom from my understanding. So, if my guess is correct, this monitoring insect is likely from the Fang Clan. But since there are other insect controllers in this kingdom, it could be them, although the likelihood of it being them is very low." Hui Shi replied. He couldn't help but ponder again if his current guess was correct. Although the Fang Clan was likely the culprit, he reasoned that he, Annette, and Lain may have other enemies that he didn't know of, that may be capable of either controlling an insect or hiring an insect controller to monitor them.
