Chapter 1588


    Linda shook her head. She hadn’t spoken much with Daniel over the years. However, he was always


    kind to her when they were young.


    She recalled a time when she was at university, and Daniel, still in primary school, took money from


    home to find her in Jangasas all on his own. When Nichs was in prison, he would frequently call her


    tofort her, fearing she would be sad.


    His way of thinking was childlike but pure. During her lowest moments, she felt the warmth of family


    through him.


    Later, she would visit him in Cumulus City. They would enjoy joyful conversations with her sibling on


    the famous food street.


    But as time passed, they grew apart.


    She had only heard rumors of his involvement in a family dispute. Despite being the least likely to


    inherit the family assets, he emerged victorious at a young age. People described him as cunning and


    heartless, showing no mercy to those who crossed him. He became a powerful figure in Cumulus City.


    Yet, he still held great respect for her.


    In their limited interactions, he continued to care for her. During the years she lost Lina, he even


    secretly had people searching for her.


    “Maybe he has no ill intentions,” Linda reassured herself. “After all, he’s been in Cumulus City and has


    no grudges against Centrolis. Perhaps he’s genuinely here to invest.”


    Cordelia nodded. “I hope so.”


    Meanwhile, someone quietly observed the lively cafe courtyard from afar with aplex smile.


    –


    The theme park’s renovation began swiftly, surprising even Zuko.


    Toph couldn’t help but sigh—someone had beaten him to the gift he intended for Arya.


    Lina chimed in with a smile. “Get her something else. And how did he beat you to it? He didn’t renovate


    the theme park for Arya.”


    Lina was curious about the new look. After discussing with Zuko, she was surprised to find they shared


    simr thoughts. They decided to take their daughter to the theme park, taking advantage of the good


    weather.


    Upon their arrival, they noticed the stark differences from their previous visits.


    Persephone pointed at arge cotton candy house and eximed, “Daddy, mommy, look!”


    Thinking she wanted candy again, they prepared to educate her. But then they heard her say in her


    childish voice, “That man promised me he would turn this ce into cotton candy, and he really did!”


    “What man?”


    “He’s…” Sephy looked around and spotted the man in a ck trench coat not far away. “That’s him!”


    Zuko and Lina turned their gaze in that direction.


    Despite his middle age, the man was tall and carried himself with an air of distinction. He was


    engrossed in studying and discussing construction ns with those around him.


    Lina wanted to confirm if this was the same man Persephone had encountered twice before. She


    approached him and greeted him politely, “Hello, sir. May I ask…”


    Daniel turned his face toward her and smiled as their eyes met.


    “You…” He squinted. “If I’m not mistaken, you’re Pammy, right?”


    “Sir—”


    “It would be absurd to address me like that,” he said as he put away the drawings and put his hands in


    his pockets, radiating a calm charisma. “Shouldn’t you call me ‘uncle’, Pammy?”

    Lina was taken aback, her mind nk.


    Zuko hurried over and stood by his wife and daughter, warily eyeing the man before them.


    “Don’t look at me like that.” Daniel grinned. “I’m your family.”


    Zuko and Lina were bewildered by the sudden appearance of a family member.


    Persephone, however, had her guard down.


    “Daddy, mommy, he said hisst name is Quimby!” Sephy beamed. “He also wants to be my friend!”
