Don't confiscate my identity as a human race
Chapter 1531 868 Lanci's Return to His Old Haunts

Parie North Shore District 4.

Baptiste's Mansion.

The warm winter morning sun spread across the stone slab streets, and even in the cold winter, Huadu wasn't too cold. Lanci, with the Little Black Cat on his head, walked to the far end outside the mansion.

This was the mansion passed down through the generations of the Baptist Family. It was once the most magnificent presence on this street, but time had painted the morning glory iron gate with a layer of rust. The tall poplar trees flanking like guards had also broken.

"Sigh, what a lovely mansion, just like the old residence of my Wilford family, also ruined."

Looking at the grand Baptiste's Mansion, now almost half-collapsed, Lanci couldn't help but sigh.

On the night when the Gray Flame Demon Beelzebub attacked, the broken walls resembled the sharp teeth of a giant beast. Under the torrential rain of the dark night, the mansion doors were thrown open, with rubble scattered across the foyer and garden, and the barriers over the mansion had been dismantled.

Now, the peeling walls, broken glass, and vines crawling over the walls made it look precarious, ready to collapse under the heavy weight of time at any moment.

Lanci glanced into the garden.

It was still morning, and a team of construction workers wearing work uniforms had started their work in the mansion's courtyard. The foreman, holding a blueprint, was discussing the restoration plan with the idle craftsmen.

The workers set up scaffolding, with masons carefully climbing to the roof to replace damaged tiles, carpenters skillfully repairing broken doors and windows making them smooth, and bricklayers dexterously filling the wall cracks and repainting them.

"Actually, on that day, to protect Xiu Bao, the residence of the Wilford family in Nanwantina was destroyed by the decayed alchemical beast. If Duke Migaya knew, he would surely inject more funds into your chamber of commerce and repair the old residence."

The Cat Boss, lying on Lanci's head, said to him.

"Now I understand, the Wilford family was actually an asset under the Alansar Family's name. No wonder this company had to encounter the Wilford tragedy; originally Duke Migaya disappeared, and the major support was gone."

Lanci also later heard that the Wilford Chamber of Commerce's largest shareholder was Duke Migaya.

"Then you struggled for two years, and the world changed."

The Cat Boss reminisced about Lanci's two-year Lan Cat adventure, thinking only that it was fate that allowed it to survive until now.

Let's not talk about if Lanci is willing to return to South Crayney to help Loren take over the emperor's work; Loren might immediately pack up and run. Even if Lanci returns to the Northern Continent, he could become the President Rocky McCarthy, and even the current emperor of South Crayney treats Rocky like an advisor.

Anyway, at least one country on the North and South Continent each, he won't have any trouble finding work.

"At the beginning, I just wanted to visit the Capital City Ekrite until I heard the name of the Legendary Sealing Master, and so the story began."

Lanci, with hands in his coat pockets, gazed across the street at the mansion.

"You still can't forget your initial white moonlight wish, can you?"

The Cat Boss suspected that Lanci and Sigrid wanted to turn Asksan into a weekly routine copy.

"This journey is always full of unexpected turns, isn't it? Looking back into the past, you'll find that from setting sail, not a single step was as we planned when we started."

Lanci, smiling, lifted his hand to pat the cat.

The unexpected always runs through life, and this is life.

"Indeed."

The Cat Boss didn't expect itself to become a Ninth-order Divine Beast.

In the Cerryti Empire, it had indulged enough as the Protectorate Beast.

The man and the cat stood at a distance from the mansion chatting.

After the Huadu incident, the wars driven by the Cerryti Empire on the South Continent began. The southern Aquidan Territory of the Poseen Kingdom borders the northeast of the Cerryti Empire, separated only by mountains and possibly endangered at any time.

A portion of the Baptist Family's assets was in the Aquidan Territory, so they didn't rush to repair the old mansion with the looming threats but suspended the restoration project, preparing to settle long-term in another lavish house amid the Maple Forest of North Shore 2 District.

Recently confirmed that the South Continent's situation had stabilized, so the Baptist Family began officially repairing the damaged old mansion.

"Speaking of which, Lanci, aren't you going in to take a look?"

The Cat Boss knew that even if Lanci didn't know the crew members, with his connections, he could quickly get familiar with the workers, not to mention he was already acquainted with the Baptist family, making it easy to connect with Count Bathist.

"Don't disturb their work."

Lanci shook his head, preparing to stroll to the maple woods of District 2.

"You've worked here for a long time; stay and look a little more before you leave. You might see something you won't see again, and you say life is all about chances."

The Cat Boss had followed Lanci, witnessing him take on all kinds of jobs, and no matter the job, he performed like an indifferent mercenary, striving for excellence.

But the truth was, the Cat Boss knew that Lanci put his heart into every work. He wasn't someone who worked hard but someone who enjoyed working, so he could do everything impeccably.

The Cat Boss suggested that Lanci go in to take a look before visiting the other Baptist residence in the Maple Woods.

While Lanci and the Cat Boss were chatting freely.

"Rocky?"

A voice sounded behind them.

"...?"

Dressed in a gray coat, Lanci turned around only to see a familiar figure standing at the end of the stone road.

Her blonde hair was cut shorter than the first time he saw her; a portion had been singed by a mysterious demon attack that day. After trimming, it turned into medium-short hair, and now a few months later, the daughter of the Baptist Family hadn't returned to her initial long-hair look.
