Meanwhile, on the rooftop of the Tranquil Hotel, Roderick remained seated, completely at ease. His expression was as calm as the sea beside the hotel.Even though he was unworried, he patiently awaited the underworld king's next move. Whatever plans they had ahead, Roderick was ready to confront them.At that moment, a slight smile appeared on the Silent Emperor's face as he gently asked Roderick, "May I have a seat?"Roderick was a bit taken aback. When did enemies start sharing a table with their opponents?This amused him, but he granted the request. "Of course, you may."With an unending smile on his face, the Silent Emperor appreciated the gesture as he settled into the seat. "Thank you."For a moment after sitting down, he said nothing.Roderick tried to determine if this was a trick to make him relax so they could capture him unexpectedly.Then, Roderick asked, "I thought the matter between us had been settled. Why do you keep stalking me? What do you want?"The Silent Emperor

"Mr. Holmes..." Benjamin swallowed hard as he quickly called for Roderick's attention.He locked eyes with Roderick as if he didn't see the dangerous thugs who were already very close to them."You wouldn't believe who is approaching our table right now, Mr. Holmes."Roderick slowly dropped his wine glass as he sensed the seriousness in Benjamin's voice. He gradually looked in the direction Benjamin signaled and saw the underworld king and his men approaching.'The whole matter has been settled. What have they come here to do?' Roderick thought inwardly with a smug smile.Benjamin was surprised to see a smile appear on Roderick's face as he caught sight of the thugs.They are currently in danger, and yet Roderick could smile? Benjamin didn't know what to think.Then, he quickly explained his observations to him. "Mr. Holmes, this is serious trouble. How are we going to escape it? Everybody in the club ran away for their lives as soon as they saw the Silent Emperor walk in."Roderick h

Benjamin instantly reached for his phone and quickly searched for the most expensive and lively hotel in Meadow City.Within a few minutes, he found his choice - The Tranquil Hotel.The hotel's reviews praised its quiet and calm environment. He also learned that the hotel was named after the gentle sea beside it.‘Perfect choice!’ Benjamin thought to himself as he quickly drove to the location.In a few minutes, the car stopped in front of a well-built hotel. The tranquility of the surroundings was unmatched.Benjamin had a slight smile on his face; he was pleased to find the hotel environment just as the reviews had described.He would have been disappointed if it had been otherwise—a case of what I ordered versus what I got.He was about to turn to Roderick to ask for his opinion about the hotel when he noticed his somewhat frowning face.“Mr. Holmes, don’t you like this hotel? I can search for a better one if you want. Please give me a moment.”Roderick stopped Benjamin as he was a

Roderick's mind went back to the events that had occurred that day, and he remembered that he had rescued some ladies from Rakshasa's prison.What Roderick was trying to understand now was how that had anything to do with the woman. Could it be that one of her children or family members was among the ladies?Given the great ability the old woman possesses, Roderick didn't want to believe that his thought was right.This was because he felt someone with such great ability should be able to save her family members if they were in such a situation.After a round of thoughts, Roderick finally settled that he was just trying to guess. He felt there might be something else behind it.Then, Roderick said to Benjamin, "I'm still trying to understand if one of her children was among the ladies I rescued. I should have been stunned by how she knew that I did such a thing today, but she is more knowledgeable about hidden information than I can imagine."Benjamin didn't know why he was feeling un

Both Roderick and Benjamin were instantly taken aback. They remembered that the old woman had only helped them get into the market and return to the spot where they met her when they arrived.They were seriously stunned to see how she had become the seller in this store now.Roderick had to let go of his surprise and quickly walked closer to the old woman and spoke."Mother, I'm the one to whom you gave the last slot in the market earlier."The old woman nodded where she sat and responded, "Of course, I can recognize your voice."Roderick felt good to hear that. He was about to explain to the old woman why they had come to her when she spoke up."I know you must be surprised to see me in the market now. The truth is, even though I'm seated at the entrance of the market, I'm aware of everything that is going on inside."Benjamin felt a quick strike in his heart upon hearing that. He believed that for the old woman to have such an ability, she would be able to see into people's past as

A few moments later, they finally arrived at the part of the market where precious stones were sold."Very good. I think we are getting closer to our goal now," Roderick commented as he glanced at the row of stalls of the precious stone sellers.They had passed a few stalls when Benjamin spoke up. "We should be able to get the stones you desire here, too. It's not necessary to walk all the way to the end of the stalls."Roderick nodded and responded, "You are right, Mr. White. But my first target is rare herbs. Once I find them, we can return to get any precious stone of our choice.""That's alright then," Benjamin answered. He now understood that Roderick was more concerned about the rare herbs than anything else.Moreover, the day was coming to an end, and the old woman at the entrance of the market had mentioned that the market would close soon. Given that, they had to go for what they need before what they want.Benjamin remembered that Roderick had asked him about the availabilit
