Lionel Yeager put away his mobile phone and smiled, saying, "All right, someone will be coming to pick us up shortly."
"Who’s going to pick us up?"
Bardon Bard asked curiously.
Lily Tisdale and Bardon Bard looked at Lionel Yeager with puzzled expressions.
"Miss Mabel Hodge."
Lionel Yeager replied, and then shared the content of his earlier conversation with Malcolm Hodge with the other three.
"Oh..."
Bardon Bard suddenly had an understanding, saying, "Look, they are all of the royal family, yet the old fella from the Cobb family is arrogantly looking down on others.
Compare that to Mr. Hodge, who is always so polite in his dealings with others."
Lionel Yeager laughed and said, "Okay, enough with the commentary."
Bardon Bard pouted, "I just really don’t like that old fella from the Cobb family!"
They waited for over half an hour.
A convoy of cars drove over.
The one in the lead was an Extended Version Maybach.
Soon, the convoy stopped in front of Lionel Yeager and his friends.
The car door opened, and out stepped a girl dressed in plain white clothes with a twisted braid, looking as refreshing as a clear water hibiscus.
This girl was none other than Mabel Hodge.
"Mr. Yeager!"
Mabel Hodge greeted with a smile and quickly rushed over.
Lionel Yeager smiled and said, "I’m sorry for the trouble, Miss Hodge."
"Not at all!
It’s my honor to pick you up!"
Mabel Hodge replied with a gentle smile, then asked, "And these three are?"
Lionel Yeager said, "These are my friends, Lily Tisdale, Prajna Bates, and Bardon Bard."
"Nice to meet you!"
Mabel Hodge greeted.
"Nice to meet you too, Miss Hodge!"
The trio responded.
Soon after, Lionel and his friends followed Mabel Hodge into the car and left Cobb Manor.
Over half an hour later.
The car came to a stop at the entrance of Holt Family Estate.
Compared to the Cobb Manor, the Holt Family Estate was not small either. Furthermore, with medicine fields planted all around the Manor, it sent out a faint aroma of herbs, making it look even more tranquil and elegant.
As soon as they got out of the car.
Malcolm Hodge greeted them with a warm expression on his face.
"Master!"
"Mr. Holt!"
Lionel Yeager greeted him back.
Malcolm Hodge, with a beaming smile, said, "Master, if you were coming to Kyoto, why not inform me?"
Lionel Yeager replied, "Mr. Holt, I came to Kyoto for some business matters and did not want to disturb you."
Malcolm Hodge widened his eyes in surprise, "Master, what are you talking about, how can you be a disturbance!
Your visit to the Holt Family has brightened our humble home!"
Lionel Yeager laughed, "Alright, enough with the flattery. It’s time you take me to see the patient you were talking about."
Malcolm Hodge said, "Master, that patient is of no ordinary status."
"Oh?"
Lionel Yeager asked curiously, "What’s so special about him?"
Malcolm Hodge mysteriously smiled and said, "You’ll know once you meet him."
"Okay."
Lionel Yeager nodded his head, then followed Malcolm Hodge into the manor and up to a study room.
Once they reached the study room door, Malcolm Hodge knocked on the door.
"Come in."
