After Surviving the Apocalypse, I Built a City in Another World novel Chapter 285

Meanwhile, on Bright’s side, Micheal found a new person waiting for him.

His eyebrows rose as he saw the handsome man with shimmering golden hair, leisurely drinking tea in the lounge.

A lot of women were also staring at him, gesturing to want to talk, but did not carelessly approach as they would’ve, say, been watching Fable instead.

It probably had to do with the man’s power and position. Not to mention, the man reeked of class. He was definitely well-bred.

Eventually, though, the women did gather courage to chat him up but before they could approach, the man’s eyes lifted and met his.

Micheal’s eyebrows rose and he immediately walked to him. "Mr. Oslo."

Oslo nodded, relaxing his back against the upholstery. "Ms. Althea told me you were looking for me."

"Yes," Micheal said, walking over and sitting to the seat in front of the aborigine.

As he sat, he heard the man utter, "Where’s the other one?"

"He went out with his sister." He said, "Are you here for the blueprint?"

"Yes." He paused, "Well, you can tell him he (as an Allied territory) can now buy the blueprint in the village center. The price is 100 gold upfront and 5% of the subsequent profits will go to Altera.

"However, the drawings could only be so detailed, due to the lack of papyru… paper. How much you could copy would still depend on you."

"...thank you," Micheal said and lifted his head when he saw the man leave. "Wait."

Oslo paused, meeting the other man’s eyes. "Tell your Lord of our utmost gratitude."

The blonde smiled, and he just walked away.

…

At this time, another set of goodbyes was happening in the aforementioned lord’s home.

After receiving the order of their imminent departure, Winona ran to Althea to say goodbye.

"I will come back." She said, burying her blonde head on her friend’s shoulder. "With my grandma, unfortunately."

"I’ll reserve a villa for you. I’ll add furniture." Althea said and the other woman lifted her head and looked at her with furrowed eyebrows.

Winona wanted to reject it, but she wouldn’t hear the end of it if grandma found out.

In the end, she accepted Althea’s kindness. "I’ll make sure to pay you."

Althea chuckled, patting the other girl’s head. "Just take it as advanced payment for being an excellent employee."

"Awwww."

The two chatted for a few more minutes, with Althea saying all the precautions, and was teased by Winona for becoming an old mother.

"Remember," Althea finally said, "You must take care of yourself."

The two hugged and Winona finally had to leave.

"Wait," Althea said, taking out a few small boxes from her space.

First, she showed the largest box. It was a custom organizer with sections, about 100 millimeters in each dimension. "Do you still have space?" Althea asked.

Winona blinked and nodded.
