After packing up their things, Larry and Joan called to inform Finnick and Vivian and left directly without going back to Norton Residence.
Back then, five out of eight of Larry's group who survived decided to bury their three deceased friends in Pillere as it was relatively close to the city where they lived.
Initially, they used to talk about their plan to live in Pillere after retirement, so Larry and the rest decided to bury them there to fulfill their wish.
Guys, since it's your wish to settle down here, we've fulfilled it for you by laying you to rest here. Rest in peace.
While on the way, Larry concentrated on driving and said nothing as he was engrossed in thought.
Knowing that he was in a bad mood, Joan did not talk to him either.
After a few hours, they arrived in Pillere.
As agreed beforehand, they drove straight to the hotel Larry's friends stayed.
As soon as they got out of the car, four of Larry's friends, including Caspian, went up to greet them.
Since Larry was hospitalized a few days ago, he asked Caspian to come over first to make the arrangement, which was why he did not come with Larry and Joan today.
“Boss, you're here.”
They greeted Larry one after another, and the latter gave each of them a hug.
Despite Larry's calm facade, he was feeling excited deep down.
“You must be Joan. I've long heard from Caspian that you're not only kind and virtuous but also beautiful. Blessed is he who has you,” said Larry's friends half-jokingly after exchanging greetings with Joan.
