“Director Foster, should I say something?”After Joseph logged into the page, he asked.“You can say something if you like. But even if you say nothing, the moment your account lights up, they’ll know you’re back.”“You haven’t logged into this account for years. They all thought you were dead.”Neil Foster replied patiently.“I’d better say something,” Joseph said after a moment’s thought. “Otherwise, they’ll really believe I’m dead.”With that, he fell silent, carefully organizing his words.“All right. Young Master, say whatever you wish.”After speaking, Neil Foster said nothing more.At the very same moment, in Dreadmoor, in the capital city—A man dressed in traditional Dreadmoor attire, a narrow mustache beneath his nose, sat upon an enormous dragon-headed throne.Just then, another man entered in a hurry. He was also dressed in traditional clothing, a long saber strapped at his waist.“Downwell, that man has returned.”The saber-bearer spoke gravely, in the harsh tongue of Dre

“One of the reasons we sought you out, Young Master, is indeed Miss Alice’s safety—and it is also the most urgent one,” Neil Foster said, nodding.“What exactly is the situation?” Joseph asked, his brows knitting slightly.“At present, Miss Alice’s name sits at the very top of the assassin bounty list,” Neil Foster replied.“Her death carries a reward of 1.1 billion dollars.”“Capturing her alive is worth as much as 1.5 billion.”“With such staggering sums on the table, desperate men will always emerge. Foreign assassins will soon begin infiltrating Elysia, and Miss Alice will be placed in extreme danger.”Neil Foster exhaled softly, his expression grave.Hearing this, Joseph clenched his fists once more, his face growing darker by the second.“What they want is the research in Alice’s possession,” he said. “Why resort to killing her?”His thoughts were in turmoil, and he spoke almost without thinking.“The answer is simple,” Neil Foster replied.“First, such research being born in El

Hearing the question, Neil Foster and Brian Adams exchanged another glance.“It seems you’ve already remembered quite a lot,” Brian Adams said, taking the lead.Although he did not answer Joseph’s question directly, his words were, in effect, an answer.“So my mentor truly still has other family?” Joseph frowned, his hands tightening into clenched fists.Once again, the image of the little girl from his dreams surfaced—the despair, the helplessness, the quiet sorrow that clung to her.What had she gone through to leave such an impression?“Young Master, may we explain everything to you step by step?” Neil Foster asked after a moment’s contemplation.“Yes. But today, I must have an answer,” Joseph said firmly.“Young Master, let us speak in the inner room,” Neil Foster said, gesturing politely as he led the way.Before long, the three of them entered a room that appeared to be a private reception lounge. Neil Foster poured each of them a glass of water, unhurried and composed.“I’m c

The two receptionists at the front desk were striking in both looks and figure—the kind of beauty that lingered in one’s memory after a single glance.However, Joseph was accustomed to being around women like Alice, Mason Alvarez, and Heidi—exceptional beauties in every sense.Compared to them, such ordinary attractiveness hardly drew his attention.“You’re looking for someone?” The long?legged receptionist in black stockings paused in surprise.“I’m here to see Brian Adams,” Joseph replied.At the sound of the name, the two receptionists exchanged a look, instantly understanding something unspoken.“Are you Mr. Joseph?” one of them asked.“I am,” Joseph answered.“Please follow me, Mr. Joseph.”One of the receptionists stepped forward, gestured politely, and led the way.Joseph followed without hesitation.After walking for a short while, he studied the woman’s gait from behind, a flicker of surprise passing through his eyes.Her steps were unusually light—far too fluid for an ordi

“Not at all. Your health was already good to begin with. Medicine isn’t omnipotent,” Joseph replied modestly.The meal passed in warm harmony. It had been a long time since so many people had gathered around the same table in this household.After dinner, Joseph conducted a brief checkup on Old Mr. Cooper and found no issues of concern.He stayed a while longer, chatting with Old Mr. and Old Miss Cooper, before finally taking his leave from the Cooper family.Heidi, as always, was reluctant to part with him and insisted on seeing him all the way to the door.At some point, he wasn’t sure when it had started, but the girl had grown especially attached to him.She used to be just a little girl. Now she had become a stunning young woman. Time truly flew.Driving home, Joseph watched the congested traffic stream past his window, his thoughts wandering.Looking back on the past three or four years, most of his time with Heidi had been filled with laughter and ease.She was warm, sincere, a

“What I know more about concerns the secrets of the Cooper family. As for the little girl in your dreams, you should ask Brian Adams about her.”“What I can tell you, however, is that your mentor did have other family members. He was never alone in this world.”“Your mentor is your family. And your mentor’s family, naturally, is your family as well.”Old Mr. Cooper spoke earnestly, his tone heavy with unspoken concerns.“I understand.”Joseph lowered his head slightly. As the image of the little girl from his dreams surfaced again, the urgency, despair, and aching pain in his heart grew even more distinct.“As for your mentor’s family background, it would be better for you to ask Brian Adams. They had intended to tell you everything from the beginning, and I believe they are already prepared.”Old Mr. Cooper thought for a moment before continuing.“That was exactly my plan,” Joseph replied with a nod.“One more thing,” Old Mr. Cooper reminded him. “No matter what you remember, you mus
