Chapter 471


    Mrs. Potter originally did not understand why Rickard would fall for Hesper. In fact, Hesper’s


    appearance was considered ordinary, so if she and Rickard were to stand next to each other, they


    probably would not make a perfect match.


    Needless to talk about her background, Hesper was only an ordinary designer.


    But Hesper had a unique quality that could not help but attract others’ attention. She was a solemn and


    sinceredy, so much so that even Mrs. Potter had taken a liking to her, let alone a man.


    "You should grab some well-deserved rest for now, Ms. Rivera. I’ll take my leave first."


    "Okay."


    ...


    On the other side of things, Rickard was standing in front of the gate of the grounds of Daybreak, and


    his hawk-like gaze was fixed on the slowly opening gate.


    "Yo, what''s brought you here, Mr. Duval?" Riley covered his face and chuckled. "It seems that we still


    haven’t figured out the extent of your ability, Mr. Duval. You actually managed to find it here."


    Myriade stayed behind Riley, ncing at Rickard as if she was facing a formidable enemy.


    "Did you really think I was only joking with you before this?" Rickard took a step forward. "Hand over


    the person who made a move on Hesper, as well as the mysterious doctor. I’m not interested in the rest


    of Daybreak."


    "If that’s the case, what a coincidence, Mr. Duval, that the person who assaulted Hesper Rivera is no


    longer a part of Daybreak, but we’d be more than happy to offer you the doctor and his apprentice."


    Riley waved his hand, and two men in white coats slowly walked out from behind him.


    "...Julian?"


    Rickard frowned.


    Ever since Hesper left Genecity and went off-grid, Rickard tried to look for her through Julian, but he


    never found him either. Unexpectedly, he actually went abroad secretly and became the apprentice of


    the mysterious doctor.


    Julian stood behind Riley, and Riley turned around and smirked at him. The distance between them


    was not very close, so Riley said in a voice that only the two of them could hear, "Look, now that


    Rickard is here for your master, fancy a guess? Who does he need your master for? How much


    painstaking effort and hard work had you put in while working right next to your master before you


    finally managed to persuade him into offering to help treat Hesper? What a pity, everything you’ve done


    so far is going to be someone else’s achievement now."


    Julian clenched his fists, but his master had already taken a few steps forward. Although he was an old


    man who would only treat someone that he wanted to, he had been locked up by Daybreak for such a


    long time that even if Rickard were to ask him to treat a person who wanted to kill him in the end, he


    would still agree to the request.


    "Professor..."


    Professor Miles turned around, grabbed Julian, and made a face at him. "Are you an idiot? Isn’t it better


    for us to get out of here first?"


    "...Are you really going to treat Rickard?"


    "He’s going to pay us money and is rescuing us. What can’t be done? Seeing him now, I think he’s

    someone that fate sent my way."


    Riley chuckled behind him, causing Julian to swallow a huge gulp of saliva. However, his throat was


    still dry.
