CHAPTER SIXTY-TWOClinton had to continue on foot since there was not enough space for his car to fit.The gate was wide open, but no one had ever been brave enough to go into the abode of the Dukes.Clinton could see the castle that looked like an ancient temple. Everything but the paint was still intact, making it almost impossible to tell if the castle was the same as the leaves that were growing around it, or if it was never painted but allowed to stand tall in the middle of nowhere.Clinton’s steps were calculated. He could never take any chances since it looked like there could be traps ahead of him.He wasn’t certain, but it seemed like he saw someone peeping at him from one of the windows up high in the castle. But he continued walking, determined to get what he wanted.Just a few meters away from the castle, he heard a creaking sound that made him look. The wooden door was opened from the inside, and the dust that flew to the sky was evidence of how long the doors had been sh

CHAPTER SIXTY-FOURClinton struggled with the urge to go after the old man because he knew that it could lead him to revealing a secret he promised to take to his grave, but his uncle’s life was at stake, and it was either he played along or lost his only family member.He was forced to take a step after them, and then the second, the third, before he started marching faster to catch up with them.Lord Zackl walked very fast until his energy could no longer carry him, and he was forced to slow down, causing his guards to catch up with him.Clinton kept a little distance of caution, observing as they walked through a hidden tunnel that led them into a secret room.The old man opened the door to the room with a large key hanging on his neck, and then he went in with just Clinton while the guards stood at the door waiting.“I am sure you can identify the herbs when you see them.” Lord Zackl gestured to Clinton who began to look around the secret room while he kept his eyes wide open.The

CHAPTER SIXTY-SIXThe old lady was still shaky, and she grabbed the handle of her door, getting ready to run into the house.“Uncle is alive,” Clinton said calmly, and the old lady returned her gaze to him.“That’s a lie.” She said, but the look on Clinton’s face was something she couldn’t ignore even if she wanted to.“No! That’s not possible! He died! I saw him! They told me he was never going to wake up again.”“He is alive, Lady Dorathy, and I can prove it to you.” Clinton sounded very certain of everything he said, but the old lady didn’t seem to believe him.“I know that this is very difficult for you to believe, but it’s the truth. Uncle Edmund is alive.”“No! He is dead! I saw him!” The old lady said with tears falling from her eyes. “Why have you suddenly come to remind me of the past?! You should have stayed where you were! Go away!” Lady Dorathy was scared of being seen with Clinton, and he was wondering why she was on the lookout.“Uncle Edmund is alive, Aunty. That’s the

CHAPTER SIXTY-EIGHTFor a moment, Clinton waited for Rachael to say something else, but it became obvious that she meant the words she said earlier.“You are serious?” He asked, but she was too embarrassed to admit it.Clinton left her standing and moved to shut the door. Then he sat down on the same couch he was sitting on when she knocked.Rachael stared at him for a while. She thought he was going to speak to her, but it turned out that he was busy with what he was doing before she came.“Aren’t you going to ask me why I am here?”“You can as well say it or you leave, Rachael. The choice is yours.” Clinton was very cold with his response, and Rachael was taken aback.For a moment she stood still, but when she saw that Clinton was not going to give her any attention she moved and sat down beside him.“My company needs help, Clinton.” She said with a forced tone, and then she bent her face to the ground.She never thought that there was going to be a time when she was going to ask th

CHAPTER SEVENTYClinton sighed. He knew that he had no other choice but to repeat what he said earlier, but in clearer language.“What I wanted to say was that we will have to burn it out of him by placing something hot on his chest and letting it burn. That’s the only way.”“No way! Do you want to kill him?!” Rachael fired in disagreement, but Clinton still maintained his words.“That’s the only way. I wish there was another way.” He said to the old man who was already scared before he could do what he said.“Who made you a Doctor?” A female voice said from the back, and everyone turned to see Lady Selene walking into the room.She had been listening to all their conversations and waiting for the right time to go on.“I always knew that you had evil intentions for all of us. You want to kill Lord Caleb so that you can inherit everything he has. That’s not going to happen!” Lady Selene fired in annoyance.Clinton scoffed. “That’s very funny.” He said with a smirk on his face, but the
