Chapter 460


    An hourter, the yacht ferrying Abel and his crew sailed out to sea, breezing past hundreds of inds


    big and small. Close to noon, Sam finally pointed toward an ind in the distance. “Mr. Ryker, look!


    That’s where Master lives,” she informed Abel.


    “Wow, you were right. I’d take an entire month locating this ce on my own…” Abel said, squinting his


    eyes to get a better look at the faraway ind, He instructed the crew to speed up, and in less than an


    hour, the yacht arrived on the shores of the mysterious ind. From afar, the ind did not look to be


    inhabited nor have any buildings, but now that they were up close, Abel was surprised to discover that


    the ind was a bustling city sprawling with vehicles and modern buildings.


    “Master owns all of the businesses on this ind and about a dozen other inds nearby too,” Sam


    exined. “Adelmar Ind is just a collective name for all these inds, but no one from the outside


    world knows about it. This ind itself is known to us as Dawn Ind because it is the first of the


    inds to see the sun rise at dawn.”

    Abel was momentarily silent, for he had not expected such aplicated backstory of the inds. It


    was no wonder information was scarce when they tried to look up the ind themselves.


    “This is where I’ll leave you,” Sam announced as soon as the yacht docked at the pier. “You’ll find the


    magnificent Dawn Manor in the middle of the city center. That’s where the Master lives. As for which


    ind Ms. Emmeline is on, you’ll have to ask the Master yourself.”


    Abel and his motley crew stepped off the yacht ontond while Sam remained on board. Luca watched


    Sam’s figure gradually disappear from his sight as the little yacht reversed out of the pier and drifted


    back into the open seas. They then made their way to the nearest road to hail a cab to Dawn Manor.


    In less than ten minutes, the cab stopped outside a ptial Victorian-style building surrounded by


    manicured gardens as far as the eye can see. Luca paid the cab fare, and the group made their way


    toward the manor’s imperious front door, built out of copper and wood, and decorated with intricate


    wood-carved floral motifs. A smartly dressed man in a suit appeared from the security room at the side


    of the mansion barely seconds after Abel rang the doorbell. Abel informed him that he would like to


    meet with the head of the Adelmar family.


    “Please hold on,” the man said politely before returning to the room. Momentster, he came back out


    again. “Master will not see you,” he informed Abel curtly.


    Abel’s breathing intensified. Of all the oues he had imagined, he had not expected the head of the


    Adelmar family to turn him away. What was he supposed to do now?!


    “Hold on!” Abel snapped quickly before the man walked away. “I would like to see Benjamin York then.


    Ask Benjamin to meet me!”


    The man shook his head. “I’m sorry, Sir. There’s no one here with that name.”


    Abel was dumbfounded. “No one named Benjamin York?” Was he at the wrong ce? “And this is


    where Mr. Adelmar lives?” he asked the man.


    “Yes, it is,” the man confirmed.


    “Then how could Benjamin not be here?!” Abel almost yelled.


    “There’s definitely no one named Benjamin here,” the man reiterated.


    A few long moments after, Abel finally looked down in defeat. “Alright. Thank you then,” he said before


    walking away from the door.


    Luca chased after his employer. “Mr. Abel, what just happened?” Luca was equally as confused.


    “This must be the ce,” Abel insisted. “Perhaps they have their reasons for not wanting to meet with


    us…”


    “What do we do, then?” Janie asked anxiously. “What happens if we can’t find Emma or Mr. Benjamin?”


    “That won’t happen. As long as we find the Adelmars, we’ll find her,” Abel sounded as though he was


    trying to convince himself as well.


    “But why did the man say there was no one named Benjamin York?” Luca wondered out loud.


    “Call Sam and ask her,” Abel instructed. Luca immediately called Sam on his cellphone, but the call


    could not go through even after a few tries. There was probably no phone signal on the yacht.


    “Let’s find a nearby hotel first. We’ll think of a nter,” Abel said, finally resigned to his unlucky fate.


    “That works. I saw plenty of posh hotels on the way here. It feels like a tourist town around here!” Luca


    said.


    “Yes, the way this ce reeks of wealth and opulence… It feels almost like Dubai!” Janie added on.


    “Looks like my father wasn’t wrong when he said the Adelmars could probably rule a nation with their


    wealth…” Abel concurred.


    “So the Adelmar Group back in Struyria is probably one of their many businesses…” Janie remarked.
