    Almost instantly, Neera’s visage became grave. She asked coldly, “Where is she?”


    “Thora has returned to Essley but has not returned home. She’s been going to the Midnight Bar a lot

    Neera’s eyes narrowed, and her expression became as cold as ice.


    Thora’s friends were from questionable backgrounds, and she knew they weren’t goodpany. She


    wouldn’t let Thora flee, no matter how shady things were.


    She made a quick decision andmanded, “Make the necessary arrangements. I’ll go there


    myself tonight and get her.”


    Adriana was perplexed. When she noticed Neera’s darkenedplexion, she asked quickly, “What


    had she done?”


    Neera tightened her lips and told her everything. She gave a rough ount of Thora’s activities in


    the country.


    “How dare she ruin her father’s good name as a renowned professor?”


    Adriana frowned, surprised that Thora had done such things.


    “How is Jean now?”


    “He has fully recovered and is no longer in danger.”


    “That’s good to hear,” Adriana said, sighing with relief and apologizing slightly.


    “I had no idea there had been so much going on. You’ve been rushing around without rest,


    especially for me.”


    Neera was aware of her concerns. She took the initiative tofort her by holding her hand.


    “Don’t worry, Aunt Adriana. How can I rx knowing you’re sick here? In addition, I hadpleted all


    of Jean’s critical treatments. My junior will take care of the rest. He’s also a medical expert.”


    Adriana sighed, recalling Neera’s earlier decision.


    “You can’t do this, Neera. That bar is notoriously chaotic. That bar is notorious for being chaotic. Those


    who visit are not good people. I’d rather Neil hire someone to find her.”


    “Thora is very cunning,” Neera reasoned as she shook her head. “If she gets away this time, it will be


    even more difficult to catch her the next time.”


    Adriana became increasingly concerned.


    “If you must go,” Chad said abruptly, “take my assistant with you.”


    Neera looked at him, a little surprised.


    “My assistant has somebat training. There’s no reason he can’t deal with it. Most importantly, you


    canpletely rely on him.”


    Considering this, Neera didn’t decline. She said, “Thank you, Uncle Chad.”


    Previously, she had addressed him as “Mr. Gordon“. She recently felt closer to him after witnessing his


    care and support for Aunt Adriana.


    It took Chad a second to adjust to Neera’s new form of address. He thenughed, clearly pleased


    and gratified.


    “Alright, I’ll get it arranged right away.”


    He then quickly exited the room.

    Adriana sighed. “You’re so stubborn. Nobody can change your mind you’ve made up your


    mind. If you insist on going, just be careful, okay?”


    Neera smiled and nodded.


    A young man entered the room about ten minutester. He was attractive, but he had a nk


    expression, like ice.


    “This is Zephyr,” Chad said, “My most trusted assistant.”


    “This is Neera, Adriana’s niece,” he told Zephyr. “You may address her as Ms. Garcia. You will now


    follow and protect her. Her orders are my orders.”


    His tone was soothing and calm, but Neera detected a sense of dominance in it. He had the demeanor


    of those in power, which was very familiar to her.


    She feltpelled to look at Chad closely.


    Neera was aware that he had businesses and assets back home. He held a significant position and


    exuded a sense of grandeur. Even though she was unfamiliar with his background, she assumed it was


    impressive.

    Neera drew back her wandering thoughts. She acknowledged him with a nod, saying, “Hello, I’ll be


    needing your assistance for a while.”


    She left after a brief conversation with Aunt Adriana.


    Chad couldn’t help but smile as he watched her walk away.


    He sat beside Adriana and gently held her hand. “Did you hear? Neera referred to me as “Uncle


    Chad.”


    Guffawing, Adriana asked, “You’re so happy over being called ‘Uncle Chad“?”


    “Of course, it means she’s slowly epting me,” Chad replied matter–of–factly. “She might even call


    me her uncle–inw soon.”
