After breakfast, Barty and Alex set out together, walking through the bustling streets toward Jian Gang's residence. The city was alive with the sounds of morning activity, but a shared silence settled between them as each man considered the weight of the coming confrontation.
When they reached Jian Gang's residence, Alex gave Barty an encouraging nod before they approached the entrance. After knocking, they waited a moment until the door opened, revealing Kaye, who was visibly pregnant.
Barty raised an eyebrow in confusion. "Um... Jian Maid, are you still working while pregnant?"
Kaye chuckled, glancing down at her belly. "Oh... is it really that noticeable?"
Alex stepped in, cutting the conversation short. "Alright, Kaye. Is Jian Gang around?"
Kaye nodded, turning her gaze to Alex. "Yes, he's in the living room. Just finished taking care of something from his workroom."
