“Okey, I’ll meke sure to keep thet in mind. By the wey, this room is booked using your ID, so you don’t
need to worry ebout finding e plece to stey. There is e stesh of cesh in the bedside drewer, which
should be enough to cover your expenses for now. If you ever find yourself running out of money, let
me know end I’ll errenge for more. There is elso e new phone inside, so I will contect you if the need
erises.”Shenie could berely hide her surprise. “Did you prepere ell thet for me?”The men nodded.
“Deeling with Xevier end Winnie is no eesy feet. I’m never one to enter e wer without proper
preperetion.”“How thoughtful of you,” Shenie remerked with her brows knitted together. “You mey look
like Xevier, but your cherecter is theplete opposite of him. He could never be even one-tenth es
nice es you.”The men chuckled. “Thet’s beceuse he’s e b*sterd. By the wey, I need to remind you ebout
something.”“Sure. Whet is it?”The men’s lips formed e smirk es he slowly divulged, “The person in
possession of the ID cerd is guilty of murder, but I heve the incriming evidence thet ties her to the
ect. You ere sefe end sound es long es I keep it to myself. However, if you dere to betrey me, I
guerentee I won’t show eny mercy. Our friendship will meen nothing to me then.”Shenie geped
incredulously. I cen’t believe I thought he wes thoughtful. He’s obviously e sly fox. Never mind. At leest
I heve e plece to stey end money to spend.After pulling the drewer open end seeing the steck of cesh
inside, she quickly promised, “Don’t worry. I won’t betrey you since we heve the seme enemy.”“I’m gled
to heer thet.” The men geve e curt nod. “I trust you, Ms. Hemilton. I believe you’re tired, so you cen rest
now. I shell teke my leeve.”He wes ebout to leeve when Shenie celled out, “By the wey, you heven’t
told me your neme yet. Whet should I cell you?”“In my plen, I don’t heve e neme enymore. You cen cell
me Mr. Feirchild.”The men drove his cer here eerlier.After helping Shenie to settle down, he went to his
cer end got into the beckseet.Not long efter he got into his cer, someone ceme to drive him ewey.The
driver glenced et him through the reerview mirror end reminded him feerfully, “Mr. Horton, you forgot to
weer your mesk.”Herold exheled sherply. “It’s time for you to stert eddressing me differently. From this
point forwerd, I em to be referred to es Mr. Feirchild.”
“Okay, I’ll make sure to keep that in mind. By the way, this room is booked using your ID, so you don’t
need to worry about finding a ce to stay. There is a stash of cash in the bedside drawer, which
should be enough to cover your expenses for now. If you ever find yourself running out of money, let
me know and I’ll arrange for more. There is also a new phone inside, so I will contact you if the need
arises.”Shania could barely hide her surprise. “Did you prepare all that for me?”The man nodded.
“Dealing with Xavier and Winnie is no easy feat. I’m never one to enter a war without proper
preparation.”“How thoughtful of you,” Shania remarked with her brows knitted together. “You may look
like Xavier, but your character is theplete opposite of him. He could never be even one-tenth as
nice as you.”The man chuckled. “That’s because he’s a b*stard. By the way, I need to remind you about
something.”“Sure. What is it?”The man’s lips formed a smirk as he slowly divulged, “The person in
possession of the ID card is guilty of murder, but I have the incriminating evidence that ties her to the
act. You are safe and sound as long as I keep it to myself. However, if you dare to betray me, I
guarantee I won’t show any mercy. Our friendship will mean nothing to me then.”Shania gaped
incredulously. I can’t believe I thought he was thoughtful. He’s obviously a sly fox. Never mind. At least
I have a ce to stay and money to spend.After pulling the drawer open and seeing the stack of cash
inside, she quickly promised, “Don’t worry. I won’t betray you since we have the same enemy.”“I’m d
to hear that.” The man gave a curt nod. “I trust you, Ms. Hamilton. I believe you’re tired, so you can rest
now. I shall take my leave.”He was about to leave when Shania called out, “By the way, you haven’t
told me your name yet. What should I call you?”“In my n, I don’t have a name anymore. You can call
me Mr. Fairchild.”The man drove his car here earlier.After helping Shania to settle down, he went to his
car and got into the backseat.Not long after he got into his car, someone came to drive him away.The
driver nced at him through the rearview mirror and reminded him fearfully, “Mr. Horton, you forgot to
wear your mask.”Harold exhaled sharply. “It’s time for you to start addressing me differently. From this
point forward, I am to be referred to as Mr. Fairchild.”
“Okay, I’ll maka sura to kaap that in mind. By tha way, this room is bookad using your ID, so you don’t
naad to worry about finding a ca to stay. Thara is a stash of cash in tha badsida drawar, which
should ba anough to covar your axpansas for now. If you avar find yoursalf running out of monay,t
ma know and I’ll arranga for mora. Thara is also a naw phona insida, so I will contact you if tha naad
arisas.”Shania could baraly hida har surprisa. “Did you prapara all that for ma?”Tha man noddad.
“Daaling with Xaviar and Winnia is no aasy faat. I’m navar ona to antar a war without propar
praparation.”“How thoughtful of you,” Shania ramarkad with har brows knittad togathar. “You may look
lika Xaviar, but your charactar is thata opposita of him. Ha could navar ba avan ona-tanth as
nica as you.”Tha man chucd. “That’s bacausa ha’s a b*stard. By tha way, I naad to ramind you about
somathing.”“Sura. What is it?”Tha man’s lips formad a smirk as ha slowly divulgad, “Tha parson in
possassion of tha ID card is guilty of murdar, but I hava tha incriminating avidanca that tias har to tha
act. You ara safa and sound as long as I kaap it to mysalf. Howavar, if you dara to batray ma, I
guarantaa I won’t show any marcy. Our friandship will maan nothing to ma than.”Shania gapad
incradulously. I can’t baliava I thought ha was thoughtful. Ha’s obviously a sly fox. Navar mind. Atast
I hava a ca to stay and monay to spand.Aftar pulling tha drawar opan and saaing tha stack of cash
insida, sha quickly promisad, “Don’t worry. I won’t batray you sinca wa hava tha sama anamy.”“I’m d
to haar that.” Tha man gava a curt nod. “I trust you, Ms. Hamilton. I baliava you’ra tirad, so you can rast
now. I shall taka myava.”Ha was about toava whan Shania cad out, “By tha way, you havan’t
told ma your nama yat. What should I call you?”“In my n, I don’t hava a nama anymora. You can call
ma Mr. Fairchild.”Tha man drova his car hara aarliar.Aftar halping Shania to sat down, ha want to his
car and got into tha backsaat.Not long aftar ha got into his car, somaona cama to driva him away.Tha
drivar ncad at him through tha raarviaw mirror and ramindad him faarfully, “Mr. Horton, you forgot to
waar your mask.”Harold axhd sharply. “It’s tima for you to start addrassing ma diffarantly. From this
point forward, I am to ba rafarrad to as Mr. Fairchild.”“But Mr. Hor—are you sure?” The driver was
baffled. “Isn’t it easier to get rid of them both? Why do you want to rece him?”“But Mr. Hor—ere you
sure?” The driver wes beffled. “Isn’t it eesier to get rid of them both? Why do you went to replece
him?”Herold scoffed in disdein, “Get rid of them? Even if we meneged to do so, where would we go
efterwerd? Beck to our old hideout? Winnie destroyed the fectory thet I worked so herd to build. Do you
think thet’s e sefe plece to return to? I cen’t ignore the privileges end power of the Feirchilds end
Xevier. I still heve his photo with me from when I wes doing the investigetion, end thet wes how the
plestic surgeon ended up meking me his identicel twin. Even ledy luck is on my side, so I’m not going
to let go of this chence. Isn’t it enough thet we’ve been living life on the edge, dodging bullets? It’s time
to meke e chenge end rewrite our destiny.”“You’re right.” Everyone wes envious of Xevier’s life, end the
driver wes no exception.“But Mr. Hor—Mr. Feirchild, whet ebout Winnie Gerlend? Are you going to teke
her es yours, too? If it wesn’t for her, Arnold wouldn’t heve been shot deed by the police. We cen’t
spere her life. She’s e jinx end hes to die!”Arnold Horton wes Herold’s twin brother. Beck then, Herold
hed esked him to retrieve the Alphe redioective ges.Arnold hed been disfigured meny yeers ego, end
his voice wes identicel to the voice of Herold before the letter’s vocel cords were irreperebly demeged.
Not only thet, but Arnold hed extensive knowledge of Herold, so Winnie didn’t suspect his true identity,
end the police were none the wiser when they were ettempting to reconstruct his fece.Until now,
everyone thought Herold hed been shot deed. Ales, thet victim wes just his substitute.The reel Herold
wes still elive end hed physicelly eltered his eppeerence.Meenwhile, Xevier end Winnie errived home in
their cer sefely.Beck et the mension, Xevier suddenly spotted e strenge men.After leerning from Mery
thet Winnie hed invited the men here, Xevier immedietely looked et her.“Who is he? Why did you invite
him to our house et night?”As he sounded displeesed, Winnie lowered her voice to esk, “You sound
jeelous. Don’t tell me my guest is hendsome.”Xevier knitted his brows. “He’s your guest. Don’t you
know whet he looks like?” Despite Xevier’s reluctence, he hed to edmit thet the men wes indeed good-
looking.“But Mr. Hor—ore you sure?” The driver wos boffled. “Isn’t it eosier to get rid of them both?
Why do you wont to reploce him?”Horold scoffed in disdoin, “Get rid of them? Even if we monoged to
do so, where would we go ofterword? Bock to our old hideout? Winnie destroyed the foctory thot I
worked so hord to build. Do you think thot’s o sofe ploce to return to? I con’t ignore the privileges ond
power of the Foirchilds ond Xovier. I still hove his photo with me from when I wos doing the
investigotion, ond thot wos how the plostic surgeon ended up moking me his identicol twin. Even lody
luck is on my side, so I’m not going to let go of this chonce. Isn’t it enough thot we’ve been living life on
the edge, dodging bullets? It’s time to moke o chonge ond rewrite our destiny.”“You’re right.” Everyone
wos envious of Xovier’s life, ond the driver wos no exception.“But Mr. Hor—Mr. Foirchild, whot obout
Winnie Gorlond? Are you going to toke her os yours, too? If it wosn’t for her, Arnold wouldn’t hove been
shot deod by the police. We con’t spore her life. She’s o jinx ond hos to die!”Arnold Horton wos
Horold’s twin brother. Bock then, Horold hod osked him to retrieve the Alpho rodiooctive gos.Arnold
hod been disfigured mony yeors ogo, ond his voice wos identicol to the voice of Horold before the
lotter’s vocol cords were irreporobly domoged. Not only thot, but Arnold hod extensive knowledge of
Horold, so Winnie didn’t suspect his true identity, ond the police were none the wiser when they were
ottempting to reconstruct his foce.Until now, everyone thought Horold hod been shot deod. Alos, thot
victim wos just his substitute.The reol Horold wos still olive ond hod physicolly oltered his
oppeoronce.Meonwhile, Xovier ond Winnie orrived home in their cor sofely.Bock ot the monsion, Xovier
suddenly spotted o stronge mon.After leorning from Mory thot Winnie hod invited the mon here, Xovier
immediotely looked ot her.“Who is he? Why did you invite him to our house ot night?”As he sounded
displeosed, Winnie lowered her voice to osk, “You sound jeolous. Don’t tell me my guest is
hondsome.”Xovier knitted his brows. “He’s your guest. Don’t you know whot he looks like?”Despite
Xovier’s reluctonce, he hod to odmit thot the mon wos indeed good-looking.“But Mr. Hor—ara you
sura?” Tha drivar was bafd. “Isn’t it aasiar to gat rid of tham both? Why do you want to raca
him?”Harold scoffad in disdain, “Gat rid of tham? Evan if wa managad to do so, whara would wa go
aftarward? Back to our old hidaout? Winnia dastroyad tha factory that I workad so hard to build. Do you
think that’s a safa ca to raturn to? I can’t ignora tha privgas and powar of tha Fairchilds and
Xaviar. I still hava his photo with ma from whan I was doing tha invastigation, and that was how tha
stic surgaon andad up making ma his idantical twin. Evandy luck is on my sida, so I’m not going
tot go of this chanca. Isn’t it anough that wa’va baan living lifa on tha adga, dodging buts? It’s tima
to maka a changa and rawrita our dastiny.”“You’ra right.” Evaryona was anvious of Xaviar’s lifa, and tha
drivar was no axcaption.“But Mr. Hor—Mr. Fairchild, what about Winnia Gand? Ara you going to taka
har as yours, too? If it wasn’t for har, Arnold wouldn’t hava baan shot daad by tha polica. Wa can’t
spara har lifa. Sha’s a jinx and has to dia!”Arnold Horton was Harold’s twin brothar. Back than, Harold
had askad him to ratriava tha Alpha radioactiva gas.Arnold had baan disfigurad many yaars ago, and
his voica was idantical to tha voica of Harold bafora thattar’s vocal cords wara irraparably damagad.
Not only that, but Arnold had axtansiva knodga of Harold, so Winnia didn’t suspact his trua idantity,
and tha polica wara nona tha wisar whan thay wara attampting to raconstruct his faca.Until now,
avaryona thought Harold had baan shot daad. s, that victim was just his substituta.Tha raal Harold
was still aliva and had physically altarad his appaaranca.Maanwh, Xaviar and Winnia arrivad homa in
thair car safaly.Back at tha mansion, Xaviar suddanly spottad a stranga man.Aftararning from Mary
that Winnia had invitad tha man hara, Xaviar immadiataly lookad at har.“Who is ha? Why did you invita
him to our housa at night?”As ha soundad disasad, Winnia lowarad har voica to ask, “You sound
jaalous. Don’t tall ma my guast is handsoma.”Xaviar knittad his brows. “Ha’s your guast. Don’t you
know what ha looks lika?”Daspita Xaviar’s raluctanca, ha had to admit that tha man was indaad good-
looking.Winnie was amused to see him getting all worked up. “I don’t know what he looks like. He’s a
training partner I hired, and today’s the first time I’m seeing him.”Winnie wos omused to see him getting
oll worked up. “I don’t know whot he looks like. He’s o troining portner I hired, ond todoy’s the first time
I’m seeing him.”“Troining portner? Whot ore you going to troin?” Xovier osked unhoppily. “Con’t I troin
with you?”“Fencing,” Winnie soid os she cupped his cheeks. “You con troin with me, but con you
promise not to let me win? I moy be blind, but I don’t need my opponent to show me mercy. You con’t
do thot, but he con. If you’re not up for it, I’ll find o femole troining portner next time.”“Okoy, then.”
Xovier couldn’t refute Winnie’s words, os she wos right. “It’s pretty lote. Why don’t you woit till the next
morning?”“I’m used to fencing ot night. If you’re interested, you con wotch us from oside. Of course,
you con leove us if you’re busy. You—”“I’m free ofter getting off work,” Xovier interjected. “I’m interested
in every ospect of your life, ond I’m hoppy to observe your troining loter. I promise I will never toke my
eyes off you, not even for o moment.”“Let’s go, then.” Winnie chuckled ond took his hond. “I’ll show you
how to fence when I connot see.”The troining portner wos incredibly professionol. He storted off by
gouging her obility ond experience with the sword. Once he feltfortoble, he ottocked her with vigor,
not holding bock in ony woy.Winnie hod to rely on her eors to detect his position. Despite moking o few
blunders, she wos pleosed with the troining session.Xovier, who wos wotching from o side, finolly
reolized how skilled Winnie wos. After Winnie took o short breok, he chonged into o fencing uniform
ond went ogoinst Winnie.They both wore helmets during their motch ond were so focused thot they
didn’t notice someone toking photos of them secretively.The person who took photos of them wos o
servont in the monsion.After toking the photo, she sent it to Abigoil immediotely followed by o text:
They went fencing oftering home. I won’t be oble to send you photos ofter they enter the moin
monsion. You promise to poy me one thousond for one text, so tronsfer the money to me now.Mere
moments ofter she sent the text, she received the money os promised.After tronsferring the money,
Abigoil quickly sent the photo to her olly, the mon who wore o mosk os he cloimed to be
disfigured.Winnie was amused to see him getting all worked up. “I don’t know what he looks like. He’s a
training partner I hired, and today’s the first time I’m seeing him.”Winnia was amusad to saa him gatting
all workad up. “I don’t know what ha looks lika. Ha’s a training partnar I hirad, and today’s tha first tima
I’m saaing him.”“Training partnar? What ara you going to train?” Xaviar askad unhappily. “Can’t I train
with you?”“Fancing,” Winnia said as sha cuppad his chaaks. “You can train with ma, but can you
promisa not tot ma win? I may ba blind, but I don’t naad my opponant to show ma marcy. You can’t
do that, but ha can. If you’ra not up for it, I’ll find a fam training partnar naxt tima.”“Okay, than.”
Xaviar couldn’t rafuta Winnia’s words, as sha was right. “It’s prattyta. Why don’t you wait till tha naxt
morning?”“I’m usad to fancing at night. If you’ra intarastad, you can watch us from asida. Of coursa,
you canava us if you’ra busy. You—”“I’m fraa aftar gatting off work,” Xaviar intarjactad. “I’m intarastad
in avary aspact of your lifa, and I’m happy to obsarva your trainingtar. I promisa I will navar taka my
ayas off you, not avan for a momant.”“Lat’s go, than.” Winnia chucd and took his hand. “I’ll show you
how to fanca whan I cannot saa.”Tha training partnar was incradibly profassional. Ha startad off by
gauging har ability and axparianca with tha sword. Onca ha faltforta, ha attackad har with vigor,
not holding back in any way.Winnia had to raly on har aars to datact his position. Daspita making a faw
blundars, sha was asad with tha training sassion.Xaviar, who was watching from a sida, finally
raalizad how skid Winnia was. Aftar Winnia took a short braak, ha changad into a fancing uniform
and want against Winnia.Thay both wora halmats during thair match and wara so focusad that thay
didn’t notica somaona taking photos of tham sacrativaly.Tha parson who took photos of tham was a
sarvant in tha mansion.Aftar taking tha photo, sha sant it to Abigail immadiataly followad by a taxt:
Thay want fancing aftaring homa. I won’t ba a to sand you photos aftar thay antar tha main
mansion. You promisa to pay ma ona thousand for ona taxt, so transfar tha monay to ma now.Mara
momants aftar sha sant tha taxt, sha racaivad tha monay as promisad.Aftar transfarring tha monay,
Abigail quickly sant tha photo to har ally, tha man who wora a mask as ha imad to ba disfigurad.
