After several twists and turns along the way, the group of six finally arrived at their destination.This was the smallest country nearest to Hestia Border, and it was less than half an hour away.When they stood on the balcony on the second floor of the mansion, from afar, they could see people in black outfits constantly patrolling back and forth at the border of Hestia Border, and the security was very tight.Adina was exhausted. She washed her face and sat on the balcony with an occupied mind.The kids were still resting on jet lag, but she could not sleep at all, so she just got up and thought about what to do next.“The climate here is very dry. You have to drink more water,” Flint said in a hoarse voice. “Luckily, my father called me two days ago to let me take charge of the project here, or I wouldn’t have been able to find an excuse to come here.”Adina looked up. “Does Morton Corporation also have a branch company here?”“Skirmishes always happen here, so they have to
No matter what, he could not figure out why Mom would bring them and run away over the night. She even wiped off all their tracks along the way.Mom had done this to avoid Dad.But why would Mom want to avoid Dad?Even if they were to get divorced, she did not need to take the four of them out of the country.As Alden was about to speak, his phone suddenly vibrated.This was the communicator that he carried along all the time. Even Mom did not know it existed, so it was not thrown in the trash can.He clicked on the communicator, and he saw that someone sent him a private message.Terry North. [My device shows that you and Hal the Milk Lover seem to have arrived near Hestia Border.]Alden narrowed his eyes.When they had executed the mission last time, they formed a temporary mission group. When they clicked on the member information of the group, they could see their locations. Only people who had too much time on their hands or people with certain motives would click open ot
The group of four sat by the window.It seemed that the two blonde-haired young men rarely came to dine in at the restaurant. They raised the menu up and ordered in a frenzy. The four of them soon ordered a table full of dishes.Money was of the least concern to Flint. He said casually, “How are we going to be content with only this? Let’s order a few bottles of your favorite alcohol.”The two men immediately ordered a few bottles of expensive whiskey.The table was full of specialties in this area, but Adina was not interested at all.She sat at the dining table with an indifferent smile. “Coul, have you always lived here?”The young man named Coul ate some meat while he said, “I’m an illegal immigrant, so I have no other choice but to live here. I used to be able to collect some protection fees to live a life, but now…” When Coul spoke of that, he paused for a while. It was only after he looked around with his small eyes that he lowered his voice and said, “Since the new lead
York rudely pushed Flint away, while several lackeys behind him immediately grabbed Flint’s arm and restrained him.Flint tried to resist them. “Let go of me. Let go! Coul, why are you still standing there?”He wanted the two youths to help them out. There were about five people on the other side, so they might not lose if they teamed up and fought back.Coul walked over with a pale face. He lowered his voice and said, “Morton, York’s uncle just joined the core military camp to serve as a bodyguard for Terry North. He has a lot of power in his hands. You can’t fight him. You should just give a woman to him to make a friend with him…” Flint was furious. “Just now you said, as long as I say a word, you’d do everything for me.”“Morton, we really can’t afford to mess with them. You’re on your own now.”The two young men who had eaten their fill of food and drinks slipped away.York laughed. “Now this place is implemented with a new policy. I also won’t force myself on you. $1,000
Adina curled her lips into a sneer.She had lived abroad with two children for four years, so she had encountered such a thing many times.There was a glint in her eyes, and just as she was about to speak, there was a sudden commotion at the entrance of the restaurant.“Terry North!”“Terry North is coming!”When Adina heard that, she looked over.A man in a black cloak strode in through the doorway.He was tall and slender, but he was wearing a golden mask that covered his entire face. Only his black eyes were visible.When Adina saw his black eyes, she knew that he was an Astroysian man.The man’s gaze was sharp and fierce. He glanced around the restaurant as if he was a natural king. His every gaze emanated a strong sense of aggression.Adina found it familiar for some reason.She felt like she had seen it somewhere.York was still holding Adina’s chin, but his hand suddenly trembled.He immediately released her before he turned around and acted obsequiously. “Boss, wha
York still wanted to explain, but the guards just covered his mouth and dragged him out.His lackeys were so scared that their faces turned pale. They went weak in the knees and immediately knelt on the ground as they begged for mercy.Terry North stared at them and menacingly said, “Get out of here.”The people there, including the most ordinary old men, had blood on their hands. It was not an easy task to transform them.However, handling York alone would at least bring peace to the street for at least half a month.Terry North picked up the chair that had fallen to the ground before he sat down steadily and said, “Bring the menu.”When the restaurant was in chaos earlier, the owner and waiters had hidden in the kitchen. They only came out and continued to run their business now. The owner fearfully handed Terry North the menu, not daring to even look him in his black and profound eyes.The owner had been running the restaurant for more than a decade. Over the years, Auguste h
Flint quickly left Hestia Border with Adina.Thirty minutes later, their car stopped outside the mansion.As soon as they got out of the car, all four children rushed out of the house.“Mommy, Uncle Flint, you’re finally back.”“Mommy, are you injured?”“Uncle Flint, where did you go? What happened?”The children were so sharp-sighted that they noticed the tear in Adina’s shirt. She was not bleeding, but there was a deep red mark on the shirt.Their black eyes were filled with deep concern.“It’s not a big deal. Come on, let’s get inside first,” Flint casually said.Adina changed her clothes and went downstairs. She put on the apron, smiled gently, and said, “Give me thirty minutes. Lunch will be ready soon.”“Mommy, we already had lunch,” Harold said in a carefree manner, “Georgie and Al made steak together.”Alden nonchalantly said, “Mommy, we also left you and Uncle Flint a set. Go ahead and eat first.”Flint cut a piece of steak and put it in his mouth before he dramati
While Flint had suspected it long ago, he was still shocked. “Isn’t Duke the only child in the Winters family?”“Dad does have a twin brother.” George pursed his lips and said, “I heard about it from Grandma on Grandpa’s death anniversary when I was three.”Melody widened her eyes blankly. “When did Daddy become our uncle?”“Did he make the switch after the wedding?” Harold found it incredulous. “After Daddy and Mommy got married, he went on a business trip for two weeks, and he became more frightening after that. It turns out that he isn’t Daddy. So, where did our daddy go?”Tears streamed down his cheeks.Adina raised her hand and wiped away his tears before she put on a calm front. She gently smiled and said, “I found out that your daddy’s here. That’s why I took you out of the country to look for him. Don’t worry, I’ve found some clues. I’ll be able to find Daddy very quickly, and our family will reunite soon.”The shock in Alden’s eyes was slowly replaced by relief.He thou
