The next day, the sun was already high in the sky.
The scorching sunlight shone into the room through the gaps in the curtains. Andy slowly woke up, rubbed his sleepy eyes, and then leisurely put on his clothes and walked out of the room.
Walking into the living room, he saw Kalifa sitting at the dining table, enjoying her breakfast.
It was still the familiar beef dish; her love for this flavor was truly as deep-rooted as ever.
Today, Kalifa's long golden hair was meticulously tied into a bun, appearing neat and capable.
Her upper body was a deep U-neck T-shirt, perfectly revealing her delicate collarbone, exuding a unique sensual charm.
Her lower body was paired with a black bodycon skirt, perfectly outlining her figure, and she wore high-heeled sandals.
This outfit was fine, but she usually loved wearing stockings, and today she lacked that layer of embellishment, which made it feel a bit unusual.
"Andy, you've been staring at me for over 30 seconds, which means your sexual harassment of me just lasted 30 seconds," Kalifa said with a cold expression and a calm tone.
After speaking, she used her slender fingers to pick up a knife and fork, bringing a small piece of freshly cut beef to her tender cherry-like mouth, chewing it slowly.
She wore thin-rimmed glasses, and her eyes naturally carried a hint of disdain. At this moment, she seemed to completely disregard Andy, her gaze sweeping over him as if he were just air.
"Uh... you're overthinking it. I just noticed you have heavy dark circles. Remember to come back earlier when you go out at night in the future; staying up late isn't good for women," Andy replied calmly, then turned and walked into the bathroom.
The moment Andy stepped into the bathroom, the knife and fork in Kalifa's hand seemed to buckle under the pressure and were directly snapped by her.
Her face was filled with indignation, and her chest heaved violently. She thought to herself that if she continued to stay by Andy's side like this, she would be driven to death by this scoundrel sooner or later!
At the same time, a hint of unease arose in her heart.
Last night, she had quietly left from the balcony after Andy fell asleep, the entire process was meticulous, not making a single sound.
But she didn't expect that Andy still knew she had gone out.
Thinking of this, she couldn't help but break into a cold sweat. Could Andy even know that she went to see Lucci and the others?
With that thought, her delicate and rounded forehead instantly furrowed, and a sense of unease quietly began to grow in her heart, gradually spreading.
By the time Andy came out of the bathroom, Kalifa was still lost in her own thoughts, completely unaware of his presence.
"What are you spacing out for? Are you full?" Andy walked up to Kalifa, leaned slightly, and waved his hand in front of her eyes.
Kalifa suddenly snapped back to reality. As she looked up, she saw Andy's face so close to hers and instinctively leaned back abruptly.
She leaned back with too much force, causing the chair's center of gravity to instantly lose balance, and she uncontrollably fell backward.
Andy, quick-witted, steadied Kalifa, chair and all, then frowned tightly and said with a hint of reproach, "In your current distracted state, how will you enter the Forbidden Area with me later? Also, wasting food is not a good habit."
Saying that, he straightened Kalifa's chair, then casually picked up the leftover steak on her plate and shoved it into his mouth, chewing.
"What? You said you're going into the Forbidden Area later?" Kalifa's eyes instantly widened as she asked with a face full of shock, not even reacting to Andy eating the beef from her plate.
Andy unhurriedly chewed the steak a few times, and after swallowing it, he said with a calm expression, "Didn't I say yesterday that I was going to meet those CP0s today?"
"I know, but you didn't say we were entering the Forbidden Area! Didn't you hear clearly what the Bar Owner said yesterday, that entering the Forbidden Area would lead to a curse?" Kalifa was both anxious and confused, her voice unconsciously rising a few octaves.
"That's right, take out those CP0s, and then enter the Forbidden Area. Is there a problem with that?" Andy looked at Kalifa, deliberately blinked his eyes, and looked innocent.
"But... aren't you afraid? That curse, that strange flame is..." Kalifa looked at Andy, her face turning pale, no longer retaining her usual calm.
Andy's lips curved slightly, and a meaningful chuckle appeared on his face: "Get ready, we'll depart in a moment." After saying that, he turned and walked into the room.
Kalifa looked at the doorway of Andy's room, her heart beginning a fierce struggle.
Should she tell Lucci about this, or report it to her superiors?
After she went to see Lucci and the others last night, and after some inquiries, she also asked Spandam and had already learned that there were 4 CP0s hidden in the forest.
The most crucial thing was that these 4 CP0s belonged to Osrian, a candidate for the God's Knights.
Although she completely didn't understand why Osrian would send these 4 CP0s here and strictly prohibit anyone from entering the Forbidden Area.
But she knew very well in her heart that if these 4 CP0s faced Andy, they would absolutely have no chance of winning, and might even be directly killed by Andy.
In that case, Osrian's plan would be completely ruined by Andy, and what would she do then...
"Still spacing out? Let's go." Andy came out of the room and saw Kalifa still lost in thought. He thought to himself that he had given her a chance, but she just didn't seize it.
"I'm going to report!" Kalifa seemed to have made up her mind, suddenly stood up, staring directly at Andy, and said with a serious expression.
"You're such an idiot. Didn't I just give you a chance? Alright, go ahead and report. I'll wait for you downstairs. Ahahaha!" Andy finished speaking, threw his head back and laughed loudly, then strode downstairs.
Kalifa was completely dumbfounded. He really let her report? What was this scoundrel plotting?
She fumbled to take out her Transponder Snail, staring at the small creature for several seconds, her heart in a fierce internal struggle.
Finally, she gritted her teeth and put the Transponder Snail away again.
She really couldn't understand Andy's intentions, and moreover, she was afraid this was Andy's test for her.
If she really reported it, then she might completely lose her value to Andy.
If she lost her value, would he kill her? And what about Lucci and Kaku who were on the island?
Thinking of these terrifying consequences, she decided to hold her ground for now. She had to see what Andy was going to do, and if he really dared to step into the Forbidden Area.
At the entrance of the inn, Andy, holding Zhu Chi, heard the 'tap-tap' sound of high heels behind him. Without turning his head, he casually said, "I gave you a chance, you know, but you didn't take it..." After speaking, he strode towards the forest.
Kalifa paused for a moment, then quickly followed. At this moment, she had only one thought: to stick close to Andy and see what he was truly up to.
