Chapter 432

"Mr. Dai-bun, where did Unni go?"

"Unni? She probably won't be back until tomorrow or the day after. She went somewhere for some business."

"I see."

"Why do you ask?"

"Oh, no reason. I just haven't seen her since yesterday."

Adriana carried a laundry basket and chatted casually as she hung it on the clothesline outside. Other club members were also busy helping with chores, some hanging laundry next to Adriana, while others were already folding the crispy dry clothes.

She had spent a few months at the Rotary Club.

Adriana had become accustomed to life here.

All the club members now lived like normal people.

Of course, when Adriana arrived, the Rotary Club's income was already stable, but many people had not been able to escape the poverty they had been living in.

But a lot had changed since Adriana arrived.

The most important thing was hygiene.

Since the hygiene of the leader, who should have been a role model for everyone, was extremely poor, there were quite a few members who were not much better.

Once Adriana started washing Royar, even inspecting his nails, everyone became scared and started to maintain their hygiene on their own.

Everyone was amazed to see how the fierce and foul-mouthed dog in the club would turn into a pet dog when he stood in front of Adriana.

Eventually, Adriana became responsible for managing the cleanliness, cleaning, and hygiene of the Rotary Club headquarters.

Above all, since there was no boss, Adriana, who would run around looking for things to do, became a source of energy for the older Rotary Club members.

It was frustrating to see young people working hard to do more, while adults drank and got drunk.

So, even if they drank, they would tilt one or two glasses and then quietly go to bed when it was time for Adriana to sleep.

"If you're going to sleep, be quiet."

So Adriana unknowingly became like a daughter to everyone in the Rotary Club.

Adriana had also learned about some of the characteristics of the Rotary Club during her few months there.

Royar usually lay on the sofa in the reception room on the top floor of the club headquarters all day, or did nothing unless he went for a walk with Adriana.

Literally, he just sat there like a guard dog.

The club's business was also managed by subordinates, and Royar did not know specifically what was going on or how much income was being generated. On the contrary, now it was becoming a way for Adriana to discuss matters that require payment with Mr. Dai-bun and have Royar deliver the message. No matter what was said, Royar just roughly understood and did as he was told. Adriana asked Mr. Dai-bun what Unni does for work, and he said that when she lived under the bridge, Unni had a lot to do. She protected the club members during fights with other homeless groups, dealt with friction with gangsters, and even went to seek revenge if a club member was beaten somewhere. Royar was an essential presence back then, and Mr. Dai-bun told Adriana that Royar had nothing to do now that the situation had improved. However, Royar would still disappear for a few days once a month, and the club members just accepted it as a usual occurrence. Adriana was curious about what Unni was doing, but Royar just vaguely said that she had something to do and didn't explain in detail. So Adriana just thought it was something she didn't know. One afternoon, Adriana was cleaning the reception room on the top floor of the club as usual when she saw a group approaching the club, and she recognized a familiar face at the front. Translation: Ellen Arthurius, the younger sister of the hero Lagan Arthurius and the possessor of the relic Lament, was walking towards the club headquarters with soldiers at the front. Although the recent truth was surprising, Ellen's image as Reinhardt's friend was stronger for Adriana. Adriana had heard that Ellen occasionally visited the club and was greeted warmly by Unni. Although everyone in the club was somewhat impressed by the fact that Ellen was actually the hero's younger sister, Ellen seemed to have a good relationship with everyone in the club. However, Ellen was approaching the club with a suspicious expression, leading armed soldiers. Adriana was about to go outside to see what was happening when Mr. Dai-bun urgently approached her and led her to the club's basement. Mr. Dai-bun told Adriana to follow the path that led to the underground sewer where Unni was located and not to return to the club. Adriana was confused and didn't understand what was happening. However, Mr. Dai-bun had already opened a secret space on the basement wall and urged Adriana to leave. Mr. Dai-bun looks at Adriana with wide eyes, as if there is no time to explain much. "Deliver that message to Unni and then quickly come out of the sewer. You have to come out quickly. After delivering the message, do not stay with Unni. Never." Suddenly, the sound of a door opening and a dull sound echoes ominously from upstairs. "Adriana, after delivering the message, you must separate from Unni until before nightfall." Mr. Dai-bun grabs both of Adriana's shoulders and tells her not to forget, as if emphasizing it again. * * * Adriana didn't think she knew much about the Rotary Club. She thought she was just doing what she could there and was just starting to learn about the real work of the Rotary Club. But Adriana realized that she really didn't know anything. She didn't know why there was a secret passage in the basement of the Rotary Club headquarters. She was just running. Why did Ellen bring soldiers to the Rotary Club headquarters, and what did she come to ask? What is Royar doing in the sewer? Why should she deliver this message to Royar and separate before nightfall? Adriana knows nothing. Because dangerous things could happen to everyone, Adriana ran and ran to do what Mr. Dai-bun urgently asked her to do. The secret passage was not very long. Adriana pushed up the exit, which looked like a sewer cover, and came out. A forest with trees appeared, not Hwangdo Street. It was an exit that would not be visible to human eyes, so Adriana ran towards Hwangdo Street in the distance.
