After a short while, Nolan closed the book and said, “Let’s go and meet them.”The Regent Restaurant was situated in the eastern region of Ambergate Street. It was the largest restaurant in Ambergate Street, known as “The Pearl of Ambergate”.The vintage buildings here added a touch of antiquity to the street. The street was filled with different stores, such as pawn stores, themed restaurants, jewelry stores, hotels, banks, cafes, and many more. Most of the people were locals, but there were some foreigners as well.Two groups of people stood inside Sky One, the largest private room in the Regent Restaurant.A waiter was standing by the table while serving tea.Titus picked up a cup of tea and asked, “So you’re Ms. Reynolds? Can you tell me more about you?”The woman sitting across the table was wearing a white blazer lined with a black shirt. She looked smart and professional.She had put on makeup and sported shoulder-length hair that she collected neatly at the back of her e
While they were on their way back, Nolan had been looking outside through the window, his gaze deep.Quincy glanced at him through the rear mirror and asked, “Mr. Goldmann, is that Sue really Strix’s apprentice? Don’t you think she’s a little bit too young?”Nolan withdrew his gaze and said, “Well, we’ll know about it after we find Hernandez.”“Hernandez?” Quincy was stunned. “Are you saying that Hernandez knows Strix? During the outbreak 30 years ago, Strix made a name for himself after he showed up in Stoslo. However, other than knowing his name, it's said that only a few people have seen him. No one else has seen him after he left the medical world. How does Hernandez know Strix?”Nolan lifted his head and replied, “It’s because of Marina.”“Ms. Vanderbilt’s mother?” Quincy was taken aback. “Wasn’t Ms. Vanderbilt’s mother related to the Metropolis? She knew Strix too? Could it be that Strix…”“The only thing we know about Strix is that he’s from Morwich. As for whether or not
After the physical examination, Maisie came to the operating room in a hospital gown. She lay down, looked at the operating lights, and thought about how she had made it through when giving birth to her children. Strix approached her and hung the blood bag beside her.They had applied anesthetic to the surface when they started drawing Maisie's blood, so she did not feel much pain. However, as blood began to flow out of her veins, she slowly felt some pain.The pain came to her slowly, but it was throbbing when they squeezed the blood. It felt as if someone was constantly cutting at the same wound with a knife.Maisie frowned, but she bit her lips and endured the pain. She started to feel dizzy, chest tightness, and difficulty in breathing when it reached a certain point.“Start the blood infusion,” Strix commanded calmly.Maisie was losing her blood, so they needed to start the blood transfusion as soon as possible. Sasha used the blood bag they had prepared in advance. They al
Erwin stopped beside her. “Are you feeling better?”Maisie nodded with a smile. “I’m almost fully recovered. By the way, Uncle Erwin, have your men found any information about my grandfather in Stoslo?”Erwin was slightly astonished, then shook his head. “Not yet.”Maisie lowered her eyes upon hearing this.‘I haven’t heard any news about my grandfather so far, and I’m afraid things are getting more ominous than propitious.’Maisie stood up slowly. “I want to go back to Stoslo.”“You can’t go back now.”“Why?” Maisie was stunned for a moment. She then asked when she saw Erwin’s slightly gloomy face, “Did something happen?”Erwin did not hide anything from her. “Someone developed a new vaccine in Stoslo using Strix’s identity, and this has caused a huge commotion in the country. The fall of the Kents had just taken place after the disappearance of Hernandez, but someone actually impersonated Strix to develop a new vaccine at this exact time. This is strange, and I’m afraid the s
Titus relaxed and smiled upon hearing this answer. “Okay, that’s great.”Quincy’s expression looked obviously surprised.‘The virus is actually under control? But if this person isn’t Strix, who else would have such an ability? Could it be that both my guess and that of Mr. Goldmann are wrong?’The corner of Sue’s lips raised, and she gave off a smile. “Mr. Goldmann, do you trust my teacher now?”Titus had obtained that good result he wanted, so it was only natural for him to be more willing to believe in her. “It’s really thanks to Mr. Salazar. I’ll remember the kindness that you’ve shown the Goldmanns for the rest of my life, so feel free to bring anything up to me if you need it in the future.”“There’s no need for such a strong promise, Mr. Goldmann. My teacher has spent his life doing this research, and there’s nothing he needs. He’s satisfied as long as he can help more people.”Titus deeply appreciated Sue’s modest and reserved answer. “If you have any needs in the future,
Maisie did not speak.Nolan felt a little helpless. “My grandfather was the one who asked her to stay back to take care of me.”‘Although I didn’t need it.’Maisie smiled. “Your grandfather really cares a lot about you. Strix from Stoslo has managed to control the virus in your body, and she’s Strix’s apprentice. Ergo, this makes her a great benefactor. Your grandfather should be breathing on your neck at this very moment, asking you to divorce me sooner and then marry her, shouldn’t he?”Nolan slightly frowned as he pinched her nose. “Aren’t you afraid of getting a bad tooth when you can’t stop being so sour about things?”“Don’t you touch me with the hand that you just used to grab her just minutes ago!” Maisie smacked his hand off her arm. She took offense to what had happened as if her belongings had been touched by someone else. She felt extremely disgusted!Nolan took her into his arms, and his voice sounded hoarse. “There’s no more room in my heart for another woman—you ha
‘His enemies would think that they’ve gotten him, but in fact, it was them who were getting played in the end.’Nolan pinched her chin, and his thin lips were slightly closed. “You told me that you were only going to be away for a few days. Yet, you were away for so long that I thought you’d never return.”Maisie blinked. “What if I really didn’t come back?”Nolan did not answer.Maisie grabbed onto the slightly cold hand that was holding her chin. “Nolan, wait for a while more. I’ll definitely be able to save you.”Nolan was slightly taken aback, then kissed the top of her head and forehead. “Did you go to Morwich to get Strix to save me?”“Yeah.” She wrapped her arms around his waist. “Strix already has a solution, but we still need to wait for a bit more.”…Sue took the elevator to the hotel's top floor as her expression turned sulky.‘I’ve been hiding in Stoslo for three years and finally received the news about Daniel’s death. But I didn’t expect that sl*t to be alive!
Maisie listened to his reply. “We do share some backstory, but I’ll resolve this matter myself. I’ll get Erwin to bring the new vaccine to you when the results are out.”As for the backstory he had with the impostor, Strix did not tell her. Still, she knew that it must be something huge.‘He impersonated Strix, but the vaccine he developed is genuine. It’s just that they’re useless to Nolan. This is equivalent to saying that his original intention isn’t malicious, nor did he deceive others by turning the virus into a vaccine, just like what the Kents did in the past.‘But if he doesn’t have any malicious intent, why is he doing so? Is he trying to force Strix into reappearing?’Maisie had had to rush to catch the plane, and her body had not fully recovered yet, so she did not even eat dinner and went to bed early after taking her medication.The light from the lamps and the shadows of the greenery in the courtyard interlaced with the moonlight, and all these were projected on the
