Chapter 498 Food Slave Guild Gathering (1)

However, they wouldn\'t stay at the Fox base camp because Roland Gilwynn would be with them on this trip.

Last night, Scarlett already asked Rex to provide them with a castle or villa.

"Brother, how about the house?" Scarlett asked with concern. They would fly in a few days, and she wasn\'t sure where they would stay.

"I have an old family villa, but they need to clean up and renovate it..." Rex explained. "But you don\'t have to worry, sis. The place will be ready when you arrive." He reassured her after seeing her worried gaze.

Scarlett didn\'t reply to him immediately. She appeared to be deep in thought about this matter. She knew it would take some time for Rex to prepare that house.

Now, she wondered about just renting a hotel. However, she had no connections in Norway, leaving her feeling clueless and afraid the place they rented was unsafe. 

As Scarlett was thinking deeply about the house, Logan, who was driving the car, suddenly said, "Young Madam, why didn\'t you ask Master Xander? If I\'m not mistaken, Riley Group has a huge company in that country, and I believe he also has a house there."

Scarlett\'s smile grew wider when she heard, "Gosh!! You\'re right, Logan. I forgot about it..." She had forgotten that Xander had offered to help a few days ago. But she had refused because she thought Rex could help.

"Brother Rex, you don\'t have to worry about the house. Just prepare the people who will help us. I will call Xander now and ask him to prepare the house for us to use..." she said.

She immediately made a call to Xander. On the second ring, Xander\'s deep but gentle voice could be heard from the other end.

"Baby..." Xander was surprised to receive her sudden phone call. A few minutes ago, she texted him that she was about to go to lunch with the others. So why was she calling again? It worried him.

"Is everything alright?" Xander asked with concern.

His worried tone prompted Scarlett to explain quickly, "Yes, everything is alright. But it seems I need your help, hubby..."

"Help? What kind of help, dear?"

"Do you have a house in Oslo? We need a safe house because Fox can\'t bring my father to their base camp..." She explained.

"Hmm, I have several houses there. No worries, I will ask James to go there to prepare everything."

Scarlett was delighted to hear that. She knew it. Her husband could handle this kind of thing, especially in Europe, where his company was quite big. 

She actually could have asked her father for help. However, she didn\'t want to use her father\'s royal facilities. After all, her mother was an outsider; she was just the woman her father loved, not a Gilwynn family member. Not yet. That\'s why she preferred to use her own resources.

"Thanks, husband, you are the best," Scarlett said, but suddenly she heard Rex faintly chuckle. She glanced at him with a frown.

\'Damn, sister! Why torture me with your PDA!?\' Rex silently vents his anger in his mind while turning his gaze away.

"Babe, you said you would go to lunch with your friends, but it sounds like you\'re still on the street?" Xander asked.

"I\'m heading to the restaurant now. With Rex..."

"Rex? He\'s already arrived?" Xander was surprised; he thought Rex would arrive tomorrow.

"Yeah... He is so heartless! He\'s already been in this city for three days but didn\'t—"

Rex grabbed her cell phone before she could finish her words. Her cell phone swiftly moved to Rex\'s hands. He pressed the speaker\'s voice before greeting Xander, "Hi Xander, how are you, man? Well, I miss you..."

Scarlett, "..."

She was utterly speechless while shaking her head, looking at Rex acting like a child. Gosh.

Xander ignored his playful words, "You are indeed a good friend. You only called us today... "

Rex could only smile when he heard Xander\'s sarcasm; he said, "My bad, man. Apologies..."

"Come to our home, have dinner with us tonight. I want to discuss something with you," Xander said. He needed to talk to him about Scarlett\'s physical and psychological health.

"Sure, I will. Alright, we are arriving at the restaurant. See you, man!" He said while giving Scarlett her phone back.

Scarlett talked about a few things with Xander, then immediately got out of the car and entered the restaurant. She already gets a text from Theodor that he already arrived.

Theodor chose this place for their first gathering this month—an oceanside seafood restaurant near the business center.

It was an old restaurant in the Royal City, well-known for its delicious seafood dishes. Securing a reservation here was not easy, but with Theodor in their group, that wasn\'t a concern.

When Scarlett and the others entered the VIP room, they were taken aback; everyone else had already arrived, even though she had left the office before the others.

Scarlett leaned towards Logan and whispered, "Did you deliberately take a detour to get here?"

"Yes, Young Madam," he answered politely. "I noticed you needed more time to talk to Rex."

"You truly are an exceptional assistant, Logan," Scarlett praised, giving him a thumbs-up.

"It\'s my duty... Madam." Logan slightly nods. 

Scarlett nods at him. She didn\'t need to introduce Rex to anyone else; they were all friends. Instead, Rex ignores her and engages in a serious conversation with Tyler.

She could only smile as she sat between Theodor and Zara, with Logan and Cruz sitting opposite them.

Just before they were about to order from the waitress, there was a knock on the door, and what Scarlett saw surprised her.
