Al had already arrived at the construction site where his former bedroom was being leveled to the ground.
At this point, only two workers could be seen laboring there, busy with their tasks.
"Weren't there supposed to be three of you here?" Al asked, his tone casual yet sharp enough to make his presence immediately known.
The two men turned around, and unlike their usual demeanor, they seemed oddly uneasy in front of Al. It was a stark contrast to the attitude they had displayed before, back when the issue about the coffee had taken place.
"Ah… well… the other one went to meet with Sir Mudi," one of them replied, trying to sound normal while continuing his construction work. But the stiffness in his movements betrayed the tension he felt.
Al narrowed his eyes slightly, his expression unreadable. Something about their behavior was off.
"Are you two all right?" he asked, curiosity mixed with suspicion in his voice.
