The World of Beasts: She's Got Their Hearts novel Chapter 140

As Ryan had expected, someone came less than three minutes later. "Officer York, Lord York would like to see you."

Ryan did not move. Instead, he spoke scornfully toward the second floor, "I wonder if I can leave the Lordship Estate alive today."

The therian did not get angry at what Ryan had said. Instead, he smiled even more widely and continued to try and persuade him to rush into the villa. "Officer York, you know the answer to that. You and Lord York are cousins.

"Why must you make things look so bad? Isn't that just going to make the two of you a laughingstock?"

Ryan huffed and got up slowly. "Oh, really? I thought we were enemies. I was almost refused entry, and he even said specifically that he wouldn't see me."

"Don't be silly, Officer York." The therian glared at the guard and smiled as he led Ryan into the villa. "Let's not make Lord York wait."

Ryan ignored him and strode into the villa on his own. Colossus City had so many civilians, and they could not be neglected just to spite Russell.

When Ryan arrived upstairs, Russell was already waiting in the study on the second floor.

The plump male got up quickly from the couch when he saw Ryan, and there was even a smile on his face. "Ryan, what's going on? Why is it suddenly costing 100,000 Cosmocoins for one?"

"Oh? Lord York, I can't possibly allow you to address me so informally." Ryan sneered.

"Ryan, come on. It's not that big a deal." Russell waved a hand and poured a cup of coffee for Ryan using the water dispenser bot.

"Must you keep that Nelson fellow?"

Ryan did not take the drink that Russell held out to him.

"He once saved my life, so of course I have to help him."

It was the same excuse as always.
