Evelina's grip on her phone tightened. "Sure. Let me know when you have arrived in Vecredal.""Okay." The call ended.After several hours of driving, Adrian arrived at his mansion at noon. He parked the car and went straight inside. Landyn greeted him with a worried face. "My Lord, you are finally back. We were very worried."Adrian nodded. "I am fine."Landyn let out a breath of relief. "Have you had lunch?""If you have not had lunch, what would you like to eat? Let me prepare for it."Adrian shook his head. "I already ate on the way."Then he walked to the living room. In the living room, it turned out Alexander, Anders, and Vivian were talking. All three turned toward Adrian almost at the same time.Alexander said, "You are finally back.""I have important news you need to know."Vivian nudged her father's arm. "Dad, Adrian just got home.""Let him rest. We can talk about it later."Alexander smiled faintly. "Ah yes, you are right.""Please rest, Mr. Reid.""We can talk later whe

Adrian did not answer right away while Ruby looked at Adrian with a pleading gaze.After thinking for a moment Adrian answered, "After twenty years of Jade taking care of you, are you sure you will leave him just like that?"Ruby lowered his head, suddenly his memory was filled with memories of his behavior that had troubled Jade over the past twenty years.Then answered in a low voice, "You are right.""I sound ungrateful.""So what should I do? I am really afraid of becoming a burden to Jade any longer."Adrian answered, "You are healed now.""Trust me, you will not be a burden to Jade.""On the contrary, if you want to thank Jade, now is the right time."Ruby raised his face, looking at Adrian. "Thank him, how?""I don’t have money yet to pay for all his hard work and patience."Adrian smiled faintly. "The most expensive thing Jade sacrificed for you was his youth.""That will not come back even if you pay him with a lot of money."Both of Ruby's hands clenched tightly. "You are ri

Adrian sat down and let out a breath. "There were many traps in there. I was forced to release my power."Jade stared at Adrian in amazement. He still remembered how Adrian had been unaffected by Ruby's energy blast. And not long ago he had felt an earthquake that made the river churn because of Adrian."You are very strong, Mr. Reid."Adrian smiled faintly. "Thank you."Jade began to move the oars away from the waterfall. His curiosity about Ronin and the secret villa made him ask, "What did you find in there?"Adrian let out a breath. "A lot. Too much."He took out the maps and Ronin's notebook from inside his jacket. Jade's eyes widened when he saw the maps."That... that belongs to Ronin?"Adrian nodded. "He stored everything. Data about the child mutant modification laboratories, photos of the victims, a list of targets and so on."Jade received one of the maps and opened it. Inside were photos of child mutants who had become victims. Jade covered his mouth. His eyes welled up wi

Adrian slid down with the collapsing floor. He landed on a large, soft bed.For a moment he let out a breath and did not want to get up."This place is completely insane."Dust was still flying above him, but down here the air was different. Drier. Cleaner. As if there was a ventilation system still working.Adrian got up from the bed. He turned to the nightstand. There was a wedding photo of Ronin and Elsa. The room was also quite spacious with good, expensive furniture like a VIP room in a five-star hotel.If the room were photographed, people would not believe it was inside a cave and had almost killed him.On the other side of the room there was a sofa and also a grand piano.Adrian's eyebrows furrowed. Yes, he was not seeing things. There really was a grand piano in that room.In his heart Adrian wondered and could not fathom why Ronin would have thought to bring a grand piano to a place like this.Because he was tired, Adrian finally decided to sit on the chair in front of the p

Both of Adrian's hands clenched tightly. "Damn it."Then he said, "I am a messenger from the Harvey family. Can you not make those traps stop working?"Bony shook his head. "Unfortunately I cannot."Adrian asked again, "Why is that?""Even though I am not an intruder.""I am the person sent by the Harvey family to restore Ronin's name."Bony did not answer right away and the blue light in both eye sockets blinked. "It is not that I do not want to help you or assist you.""But I was simply not equipped with the program to activate and stop the traps.""That means being allowed to enter does not mean you will definitely be able to leave safely.""Only Mr. Ronin can stop those traps."Even so Adrian was not afraid and looked at Bony. "I understand.""Now please open the villa door for me."Bony nodded, then said, "Open the door."Not long after, the stone behind Bony creaked and revealed a door.Before entering, Adrian turned to Bony. "Is there another robot or another person inside?"Bo

Jade brought Adrian to the waterfall. Not long after, they arrived at the waterfall.A gentle breeze brushed against Adrian and Jade, making their hair flutter. The atmosphere around the waterfall was very calm and the air was very cool.Jade said after pulling his rowboat to the side. "We have arrived."Adrian nodded. "Thank you.""Please wait for me until the afternoon. If the sun has set and I have not returned, just leave me. It is fine."Jade answered firmly, "Understood."Adrian walked carefully on the slippery rocks, then passed through the waterfall. From his boat, Jade could not see what happened to Adrian.Suddenly Jade wanted to say something. "Mr. Reid!"But Adrian could no longer hear him.Behind the waterfall, Adrian observed the high stone wall. At a glance the stone wall looked ordinary. There was no special carving, no button, and no place to insert a key or scan the dog tag that supposedly had a chip inside it.Adrian felt around the wall. Then he found a different s
