The Innkeeper

Chapter 1162  Keep those flags coming

Instead they tethered the planet to themselves so that when they teleported, the planet traveled with them. It naturally put a burden on the teleportation, but that wasn\'t a problem for Lex. His system could handle it.

Now all he needed was to tether Moon to the planet she was fusing with, which was easier said than done. But that\'s what the Emporium was good for. Powell worked out a deal and hired someone on his behalf, since he was such a high value member of the emporium.

Since Lex didn\'t want any powerful people observing Moon to keep her secret hidden, the hired person would just prepare everything he needed for the tethering and then Lex would do the rest himself.

It would take some time, but that should be fine. But his good mood was ruined as soon as he came back.

Z and Moon were sitting on a sofa, eating pizza and watching an anime about a ninja kid. It was a starter anime, and it was an amazing one. Due to the unique circumstances of her life, Moon might have never seen it.

It was nice that she was finally getting the opportunity to enjoy her life. The problem was… where the hell were Harry and Jubilation? Why was it just these two, watching the ninja kids\' sad backstory?

Z naturally noticed Lex\'s arrival, so he paused the show and very innocently offered Lex some pizza.

Resisting the urge to give the kid 20 more years worth of work, Lex put on a neutral expression.

"Thanks for the offer, but I just came here to give you all an update," Lex said, refusing the pizza. "I\'ve found a solution to Moon\'s issue with the planet. I cannot cancel your fusion, but at least distance from the planet, and teleporting alongside it won\'t be a problem much longer. But we will need to wait till the solution is ready."

"That\'s great," said Z, looking serious. "Once Moon can return to the Inn safely, I can move on to locating the assassins who came after her."

The idiot, stupid, dense little teenager had no idea how the words he said were making Moon\'s eyes shine even brighter, and it was irritating the hell out of Lex. But then he took a deep breath and calmed himself down.

Technically speaking, they were both adults. They could do what they wanted.

"Until then, stay here and keep an eye on things. If any issues arise, don\'t hesitate to contact me."

"Where are you going now?" Moon asked, finally looking at him.

Resisting the urge to pass a sarcastic comment, Lex said, "I need to tie up loose ends. I heard that Belle hasn\'t been doing well since your planet was kidnapped, so I\'m going to go find her. If you have any idea where Liz is, it would be great if you could help. Otherwise I\'ll try to find her on my own."

"Liz has been on the run for a while, so I have no idea where she could be. She used to send me postcards from time to time so I knew she was safe, but that won\'t be easy anymore. As for Belle… good luck. If possible, make a video of the reunion. I want to see how she reacts to seeing you."

Lex\'s lip twitched. He knew exactly what Moon was thinking. But he would not let his older sister bully him anymore.

"Stay safe," said Lex, before teleporting away. He returned to the Inn, but from there he was about to buy a ticket to the planet that was, for now, being used as the new home for the William family. That is where his sister would be.

After meeting her, Lex also had a very good idea how he was going to find Liz. It was the exact same way he intended on finding Damien.

Since they were blood relatives, he would use a spiritual technique to locate those closely related to him. He hoped these things wouldn\'t take too long.

Just as Lex bought the ticket, and was about to leave once more, he paused.

Someone from the newsroom had sent him a message. He opened the slip and read what it had to say.

Finally, a hint of a smile returned to his face. He crumpled the paper, then tore the ticket, teleporting to the planet of Pangaea. It was an ocean planet with only a single, massive continent. n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

Finding out that this is where Belle was rebuilding the William family wasn\'t hard at all, even without the Henali portal. Considering that he was rebuilding ties with his sisters, and knowing that the chances of Belle willingly following him to the Inn were nil, he decided to just build a connection to this planet instead of teleporting here from the Emporium. That way he could come to Belle whenever he wanted.

Of course, this was under the circumstance that his older sister had not been completely brainwashed and wasn\'t being controlled by his grandfather through some sinister technique. Or barring some other, unforeseen circumstance, because those just never happened to Lex, right?

Shaking his head, Lex lamented his inability to avoid raising flags, not that he believed in such things, and spread out his spirit sense. He had teleported over the ocean, so first he had to find the continent and then look for his sister.

But as soon as he spread out his spirit sense, the first thing he saw was a mermaid, and she was mesmerizing.
