Chapter 179
From the darkness surrounding the tent, Adrian heard a low growl.Adrian's eyes narrowed. "Wolves?"Both of Adrian's hands clenched tightly, ready in case danger suddenly attacked him.But then footsteps approached Adrian, accompanied by the sound of coughing. Adrian's gaze focused on the source of the sound.Not long after, the campfire light illuminated the figure of an old man, thin as a skeleton, walking unsteadily because of the heavy, tall horns on his head.The man wore almost no clothes, only a small pair of tattered shorts. He also had long, tangled white hair.Adrian narrowed his eyes warily. "Who are you?"The man coughed again and sat down near the campfire. "What food did you bring? It smells so good.""May I eat with you?"Without waiting for Adrian's approval, the old man grabbed a can of sardines and bit into the can with his sharp teeth until it broke. Then he swallowed all the contents in one gulp."Oh my, how delicious."Adrian observed the old man. He did not look

Adrian nodded in understanding. "Alright, I will meet him.""By the way, where can I meet Jade?"The boatman explained, "To meet Jade, you should enter the Aclal Sun forest first.""So don’t go straight to the Aclal Sun dock because you will not find anyone there."Adrian asked, "After entering the forest, where do I go?""Actually Jade lives in a treehouse not far from the river.""So after entering the forest you have to find the river first and walk along it to find that treehouse."Adrian nodded once more. "Alright."The boatman said again, "But my advice is, if you want to meet Jade, don’t bring any electronic devices.""Or you will not meet him.""Or if he meets you, he will not lend you his boat.""Or if you want to ask about the Aclal Sun river, he will not answer."Adrian's eyebrows furrowed. "Is he anti-technology and hates it?"The boatman answered, "Emmm... about that I don’t know for sure.""He does not talk much and looks mysterious.""Maybe you can find out for yourself

Adrian did not take the key right away.He asked, "If you as Ronin's father do not know where the villa is located, does that mean you do not have the ownership documents for that villa?"Theron nodded. "Yes. It was not a location he registered legally to avoid tracking."Adrian nodded. "In that case, do you have any clue about the villa's location or anything you remember, Mr. Harvey?"Theron was silent for a moment as if digging through old memories.Then he took the dog tag and turned it over. On the back of the letters REA was a short sentence engraved by Ronin himself.Adrian and Evelina read the words, "Honesty is water. Calmness is water."Evelina said with furrowed brows, "This is very poetic.""Is that a poem?" In her heart she felt puzzled.Theron shook his head. "I am not sure. Ronin was not the poetic type."Adrian examined the object. At a glance there seemed to be nothing special about the dog tag. But perhaps that was the point, so that no one would think the dog tag wa

Adrian nodded in agreement. "Alright. I will come with you."Then the two of them got into their own cars and drove toward the Harvey mansion.In the car, Adrian and Evelina listened to the radio broadcast that was airing the morning news.A female radio announcer said, "Good morning, loyal listeners of Radio Vecredal. Back with me, Veronica Smith, in the morning news program.""The main news this morning comes from the Rospula Ministry of Health. In a press conference held last night at the Ministry of Health Building, Minister of Health Gregory Sanders announced the success of the mutant modification program for children that has been running for the past five years.""According to Sanders, the success rate of this program has reached eighty-seven percent. Children who underwent modification were reported to be able to control their powers, live normally, and even contribute to society. Sanders called this program a national breakthrough that places Rospula as a leader in mutant tec

Evelina stared at him. For a moment, she said nothing. Then she nodded slowly. "You are right. If my brother put traps there, it means he was hiding something.""Something he did not want anyone to find."Adrian said, "If you are willing to try persuading your father, I would really appreciate it.""This is not just about Leo. But if we can uncover many things, we can stop the practice of mutant modification on children."Evelina nodded. "You are right. Those children do not know what they will face after becoming mutants.""If that practice is not stopped as soon as possible, there will surely be more victims.""Yes. Those poor children."After thinking for a moment, Evelina said, "Adrian, I will try to find a way to get the key to that villa."Adrian smiled. "I hope you really get it."Then the two of them entered the Vukiofras room after Evelina put on a special protective suit.Adrian approached the Vukiofras seedling box together with Evelina. The plant had longer roots and fresh

The three of them looked at each other and were lost in their own thoughts. If that man really was Leo's father and had been secretly watching Leo all this time, he must have had a reason for not showing up until now.Adrian commented, "It does sound strange if he watched Leo but never appeared all this time.""Especially since Leo has had difficulty walking, his condition was very weak, and he needed a lot of money for treatment and therapy."Alexander leaned back in his chair. "Maybe that is why he did not come to Leo."Both of Anders's hands gripped the armrests of his wheelchair tightly. "Do you mean he came now because Leo is already able to balance his power?"Alexander nodded. "It is possible.""I am only guessing from the recording. His attitude looked very cold and there was no affection for Leo even though he claimed to be Leo's father.""I think Vivian was right. There was no longing on that man's face for Leo."The armrest of Anders's wheelchair broke. "Damn it!"As someon
