The week had flown by, and soon Friday arrived… Kurt hadn't shown up since the day his pursuit failed. And Lucien and his friends bought a lot of resources daily and sent most of them to William's house.
Every day after school, they stopped by. Lucien used his inventory to take some of them to Nina's house, where she was hiding them in a storage room no one in his house used. Afterward, Lucien would return to William's house once more and help his friend organize his supplies. Only then would he fill his inventory with his items and leave.
