    Chapter 3410 Shaken Off By Luca


    "Wait a little longer. By the way, what kind of ancestral hall is this?" asked Hera.


    "It''s a local family''s ancestral hall. I heard it''s been designed by the owner of argepany, and now it''s also one of the tourist attractions." The taxi driver was not from around here, so he did not know all the details, but he knew it had be a popr spot. " Now, thanks to the reputation of that boss, many architectse here as one of their reference points."


    Hera frowned deeper. What was Luca doing here?


    The driver suggested, "If you''re interested in sightseeing, the attractions inside are pretty good. But for outsiders, they charge an entrance fee. Maintenance costs a lot of money, so they charge tourists from outside."


    "I''m not here for sightseeing," replied Hera, "Don''t worry. I''ll pay you for however long I stay here. You''ll get your money."


    The driver heard that she was paying, and did not press her further and remained quiet.


    Hera stared at the entrance of the ancestral hall, nning to wait for Luca toe out. On the other hand.


    Luca quickly entered the hall, where the vige chief was talking to someone inside.


    The vige chief immediately recognized her when she walked in and he walked over with enthusiasm, "Ms. Craw, what brings you here?"


    "I''m here on business." Luca nced around and nned to leave through the back door. The vige chief heard her and asked eagerly, "Oh? Is that so? Did Lukee with you?" "No, he''s busy," Luca answered casually. Then she asked, "Chief, is the back door open?" "Yes, yes. Thanks to your help with the design, our ancestral hall has be a tourist spot. Many peoplee to visit, and it''s brought in some ie for our vigemittee. To ensure the safety of visitors, we''ve opened the back and side doors," exined the vige chief.


    "Alright, chief. I have some other matters to attend to. We''ll chatter." Luca quickly headed toward the back door.


    "Huh?" The vige chief watched her leave in a hurry, as though something was chasing her.


    He looked around the entrance, but no one was there.


    After Luca exited through the back door, she followed the GPS, turned onto another street, hailed a taxi, and gave the driver the address for the vi before leaving.


    Hera had been waiting in the taxi for nearly half an hour, but Luca still had note out.


    The driver, growing impatient, finally spoke, "Miss, if you''re waiting for someone, you might as well go inside. I''m about to head home."


    Hera frowned. She paid him and got out of the car.


    The moment the car door mmed shut, the taxi sped off in a sh.


    "You!" Hera exhaled sharply, choking on the stale air as she coughed twice in quick session.


    The sun outside was scorching, and after just standing for half a minute, she felt like she could not breathe. After pondering for a moment, she decided to enter the ancestral hall, hoping to find Luca.


    Even if she was discovered, she could not stand outside for another second.


    As Hera approached the entrance, a person dressed as a security guard blocked her. "Are you here to visit?"


    "Yes." Hera furrowed her brows. She remembered what the driver had said and nced to the side. The entry fee was 100 dors per person.


    "What kind of tourist spot is this? Just an old ancestral hall, and they charge 100 dors?" Hera grumbled and took out her phone to scan the payment code.


    The security guard replied confidently, "Our ancestral hall is special. Do you know Mr. Crawford from T Corporation?"


    Hera''s eyes flickered with confusion. What did this have to do with Luke?


    Recalling what the driver had said, she was mildly surprised. Could this ce have been designed by Luke?


    The man, who was like a deity, was a genius in architectural design. His creations were highly sought after and admired by many.


    Hera recalled how obsessed she was with him back then. Even though she and Luke could never be together, she wanted to see his work. After paying, she walked straight in.


    Once inside, she proceeded cautiously, fearing that she might bump into Luca.


    However, after touring the entire hall, she still did not encounter Luca.


    "Where did she go?" Her face darkened as she confirmed that Luca had note out after


    she had been watching the entrance from the taxi.


    While Hera was puzzled over this, she turned a corner and saw another door.


    It was a different exit than the one she had seen earlier.


    Hera''s face turned livid, and she quickly walked to the door, asking the security guard stationed there, "Did you see a woman leave just now?"


    The guard gave her a puzzled look. "This ancestral hall is famous, and many people visit.


    Men, women... there are plenty of women whoe and go."


    "Just..." Hera found herself at a loss for words. She tried to describe Luca, but her mind went nk.


    The only thing she could think of was that Luca was beautiful.


    However, Hera refused to admit that she was beautiful.


    She stomped her foot, snorted coldly, and quickly walked out of the ancestral hall.


    Hera could not find Luca anywhere, and she guessed that Luca must have already left, possibly long ago.


    Her expression became gloomy as she thought to herself that Luca had known she was


    following her and had used this ce to escape. She increasingly felt that Luca was meeting with Lucius.


    Only a meeting with Lucius could exin why she was so evasive.


    "Luca, you''re not getting away!" Hera seethed in anger. When she turned and saw the security camera at the entrance, she paused and walked back.


    The security guard stopped her. "Are you going in?"


    "Obviously!" Hera replied impatiently. "Is the person in charge here?"


    "Yes, he''s in there. But you need to buy a ticket to enter." The security guard pointed at a


    sign and the QR code to scan. "You can pay by scanning or by cash."


    "I just came out of there!" Hera''s eyes widened. Was this not clearly a scam?


    "I don''t care where you came from. Didn''t you notice? The rules are right here." The


    security guard pointed at thest line of the sign.


    Hera read the line, which said, "Anyone leaving the premises, regardless of how many tickets they''ve purchased, must buy a new ticket to re-enter the hall."


    "How about you rob me, then?!" Hera fumed, pointing angrily at the security guard.


    Hera did notck a hundred or two hundred dors, but the frustration of being tricked by Luca made her anger re up.


    The security guard wasn''t working for her, so he was not about to take her attitude. With a dark expression, he said, "Do whatever you want. If you don''t want to pay, just get lost and stop causing a scene here."


    If this were in the past, Hera would have definitely turned around and left, perhaps even kept the evidence to file aintter.


    However, she needed to see the surveince footage now, so she clenched her teeth and scanned the QR code to pay.


    "See? I paid!" Hera said triumphantly, pointing her chin at the guard.


    The security guard rolled his eyes. "So what? What does that have to do with me?"


    He then took out his phone and continued watching videos. While he appreciated beautiful women, he could not be bothered with a woman like her who had such a bad temper, no matter how attractive she was.


    Hera was furious.


    She made a mental note of the guard''s name tag. As she walked into the ancestral hall, she said aloud, "I''ll remember your name. I''m definitely going to file aint about you!"
