As she spoke, she looked up at Josiah, who hadn’t forgotten to grab his phone before leaving. She gestured for <b>him </b>to hand it over to her.
“I’m afraid we can’t call the police now,” <b>said </b>Josiah helplessly. “My phone is in my jacket pocket. You <b>can </b>check it out. It’s probably dead because it was used as a torch for too long
The already quiet path suddenly became even quieter.
With a sense of helplessness, Lysander said, “If my memory serves me right, your charger is in the car, mine is in the dormitory, and the only phone in the vige is at the health center.”
It was truly a case of disasters upon disasters.
Upon hearing their willingness to help, Rhizone was extremely grateful and couldn’t help but offer a word
of caution.
“Josiah, Dr. Thome, you both are good people, but these bad guys supposedly work for a big corporation called Guerra Group. They are powerful and if they find out you’re helping, they might juste after you!
When he mentioned Guerra Group, his tone was particrly disdainful.
This was Josiah’s first time hearing someone speak of hispany in such a tone, and his expression instantly becameplex.
Lysander didn’t share these concerns. With a puzzled expression, she asked, “Guerra Group? Which Guerra Group are you talking about?”
“I’m not sure,” Rhizone <b>said</b>, leading the way ahead while sharing what he knew about the situation.
“While ying in the vige, I found a business card they had discarded. My sister read the words on it to me. She said they were from a big city, rich and powerful. They didn’t care about our well–being at all. Their only intention was to drive us out <b>and </b>take over ournd.”
When he spoke of those people’s atrocious behavior, his words grew in number, clearly indicating his intense hatred for them. He even clenched his hands into fists <b>as </b>if he wished he could grow up instantly to drive them away<b>.</b>
Lysander’s emotions became incrediblyplex when she saw that.
“Is it… Guerra Group from Harborbrook<b>?</b>” she asked.
Rhizone’s eyes lit up. “That’s right! I remember now. They are from Harborbrook!”
In Harborbrook, there was only one Guerra Group.
Josiah’s heart skipped a beat as he dered firmly, “No way. They couldn’t possibly be from Guerra Group. That business card is likely a fraud. Guerra Group has no ns whatsoever in this area.
As thepany CEO, no one knew his <b>business </b>better than he did. Yet, this was the first time he had <b>heard</b><b>. </b>of this matter.This content ? N?v/elDr(a)m/a.Org.

Guerra Group to swindle others?”

Josiah responded in <b>a </b>voice only the two could hear, “I can only say that there’s a possibility. We need to investigate further to know the specifics. However, I can assure you, Guerra Group would never <b>engage </b>forced buying and selling, and my subordinates wouldn’t dare to defy my orders behind my back.”
in
I’m virtually one with mypany, with exceptional unity throughout. Even if someone had nerves of steel, they likely wouldn’t dare to act recklessly in public in the name <i>of </i>the CEO. What’s <i>the </i>difference between this and seeking death?
Rhizone wasn’t as quick–witted as his sister, walking for a long while before stopping. “Josiah, how do you know that Guerra Group didn’t <b>have </b>such a n? Are you acquainted with them?” he asked.
He became curious about Josiah’s identity.
Josiah was concerned that his exnation might not be clear, potentially leading <b>to </b>unnecessary misunderstandings. Instead of admitting his identity directly, he said, “I have a friend who works at Guerra Group, so <b>I </b>have some understanding of the situation there.”
Rhizone remained silent, but he had already developed a hostility toward the so–called friend mentioned by Josiah
After a while, he <b>said</b>, “These people would show up now and then. Once, I happened to be fishing amongst the lotus flowers when they were causing havoc by the pond and overheard one of the bad guys saying his boss was the father–inw of the big boss of Guerra Group, more influential than that big boss. himself. The big boss seemed to be called something like Mr. Guerra. When they mentioned him, they said this old man had a formidable son–inw, so no one dared to mess with him…”
The situation gradually became clear.
To the outside world, Josiah had two former fathers–inw. The first wife was overly enigmatic, with no information about who her father was. As for the second, he was none other than Dillon Lanister of
Riveron Corporation.
Thepany had always desired to venture into the upscale residential business but was hindered by ack of connections.
With so many cluesing together, there was hardly any room for other possibilities.
In a moment of shared understanding, Lysander and Josiah thought of the same person. She lifted her gaze intending to confirm his thoughts, only to meet his gaze that held the same meaning-
The two found their perspectives unexpectedly aligning..
Josiah struggled to recall thest time he shared the same thoughts with Lysander.
At that moment, he was on the verge of thanking Dillon for his foolishness. Had the man been smart, he wouldn’t have revealed his identity so tantly.
To verify the specifics, Josiah pondered before asking Rhizone, “Is the boss of those bad guys Lanister?”
surnamed
Rhizone replied firmly. “Yes. They would respectfully address him as Mr. Lanister on the phone before. rying his words to intimidate us vigers.”
“Did they ever do anything that left behind evidence of their wrongdoings?” Josiah asked slowly.

Rhizone’s eyes lit up, but only for a fleeting moment. Then, his gaze dimmed again, and he hung his head low, <b>offering </b>them a few words of advice in a disheartened tone. “Josiah, Dr. Thorne, are you nning to gather evidence against them? It’s pointless. Every time theye under the pretense of persuasion, they wreak havoc in the homes near the pond. If someone happens to be out, they <b>even </b>smash their front doors to smithereens.”
<i>No </i>wonder their home seems so sparsely furnished. Any decent piece <i>of </i>furniture had <i>probably </i>already <i>been </i>destroyed by these thugs under Dillon’smand
“These people are utterlywless!” Lysander despised injustice, and the mere thought of the hypocritical facade Dillon and Tiffany had disyed in public sent chills down her spine.
Despite his awareness of Dillon and Tiffany’s true colors, Josiah still felt a <b>chill </b>upon hearing these words. He asked, “When you said it was pointless earlier, was it because someone had already tried it?”
Rhizone said dejected without turning his head, “Yes. He was the smartest guy in our vige. He returned after graduation and was furious when he found out someone was bullying everyone. He said he would find awyer in the vige to sue them. Grandpa ine was very supportive of him but was too old to go with him, so he went alone<b>.</b>”
“What happened next?”
Rhizone continued, “Later on, he went missing for a while. No matter how hard we searched, we couldn’t find him. It wasn’t until the police came to our vige, inquiring about any missing persons, that he was finally brought back home.”
Despite not being hit by the wind, Lysander instantly felt a chill from head to toe. “I–Is he still alive?”
The vigers are deeply secretive about this matter. Even <i>though </i>I’ve <i>been </i>helping at the health center for quite some time, it’s <i>my </i>first time hearing anyone mention it. No wonder everyone has nothing but praise for Josiah His appearance is truly a godsend for the vigers.
Josiah always prepared for the worst in advance. He never asked questions that could potentially leave psychological scars on a child. However, what Rhizone spoke of was even more terrifying than silencing someone by killing them.
“That person
had already been moved to a different location by his family. The police found him somewhere far from here, saying he had been wandering for a long time. He had be so demented and confused that he couldn’t articte anything clearly. Moreover, he had a broken leg beyond any hope of recovery,” Rhizone replied.
