Chapter 12


    “Watch out! Hide!” With that, the group hurriedly hid in the dark corners.Kingsley pulled a silent pistol


    out from his waist, slowly pointing it at a shadowy area not far from them.To that, Hades whispered,


    “Someone’s in the shadows.”Both sides stood off silently, none daring toe out into the light


    first.Thus, Kingsley closed his eyes and focused on listening to his surroundings…There were six


    different breathings on the second floor: his, Hades’, two Group 4 soldiers’, Boris’, and the hidden


    figure across from them.With closed eyes, Kingsley tilted his head slightly as he listened to the


    somewhat erratic breathinging from across them.The next second, he pulled the trigger, and Bam!


    The figure fell to the ground, having no chance to even fight back.“Who goes there!?” Boris spoke in


    Sweoyan upon hearing noises outside. “Is it you, Abegg?”However, what responded to him was a kick


    on the door. “Speak Qustian!” Kingsley ordered.Appalled by the four strangers barging in, Boris shot up


    from his chair and spoke in a broken Qustian. “Who are you people? How dare you trespass?!”Kingsley


    smirked in response. “I’m your father!”At that, he turned to his men. “Tie him up!”Seeing that he was in


    apromising position, Boris turned to a desk drawer, but just as he was about to open it, Hades


    appeared by his side and tied his hands behind his back the next second.The knot was so secure that


    there was no way he could break free.Following that, one of the two soldiers went up to the drawer and


    pulled out a pistol. “Ares, a pistol,” he reported to Kingsley.“Secure it. Bring it back along!”“I am Andrew


    Kean’s teacher!” Boris shouted at the top of his lungs. “I am an ambassador of the academic


    exchanges between Sweoya and Qustia! You cannot treat me like this!”After knocking the professor out


    cold, Hades went back out into the corridor to clean up Abegg’s blood at the fastest speed, leaving no


    traces of their presence.Following that, the group headed out of the neighborhood gates with a fainted


    Boris and a dead Abegg, where Group 3 immediately took over, loading the two Sweoyans into their


    vehicle.Meanwhile, Group 2 reconnected the surveince, returning everything to normal.Just like that,


    this half an hour would forever be an unsolvable mystery…“Hades, you and the guys head back


    first. Keep Boris alive. I’ll question him myself some other time.”After a pause, Kingsley added, “Oh,


    one more thing. Find out the address of the Nicholson Manor ASAP!”Though the house was burned toOriginal from N?velDrama.Org.


    nothing, thend still belonged to the Nicholson Family, and he must reconstruct the manor there to


    console histe parents!However, he was only five when his parents were murdered. So all he could


    vaguely remember was that his house was massive, and it was sectioned into five big areas. As for the


    address, he had lost it in his sea of memories. The Cleapolis now waspletely different from how it


    was a couple of decades ago. Not even Grandpa Joe could tell where exactly the Nicholson Manor


    might be. Thus, he could only ask his men to scout.“Yes, Ares!”After acknowledging, Hades led the


    others back to Coliree Group, while Kingsley hailed a cab back to Neveah’s parking lot, heading back


    to Reene’s mansion in his janky Santana.By the time he got home, it was already past three. A whole


    day of ‘adventure’ got him pooped, and he fell right asleep as soon as he hit the couch…After the sun


    had risen high up in the air the following morning, Kingsley stretched and opened his bleary


    eyes…“F*cking sh*t!”A pair of gorgeous eyes were staring right at him from less than four inches


    away!Startled, Kingsley shot right up, shrieking, “Serena, what the hell?!”Serena narrowed her foxy


    eyes. “Our little Kingsley sure has gotten more and more good-looking. I’m beginning to doubt if I


    should kill you.”“Serena…” Kingsley slowly reached for the cushion aside and brought it to his chest.


    “Are you going to give me the ride of a lifetime before killing me…”“Dream on!” Serena cursed, but


    there seemed to be a tint of red on her face. “Get up. Reene has already made breakfast!”Right at the


    next second, Reene’s voice came from the dining room. “Breakfast is ready. Come and eat.”“C’mon,


    let’s eat!” Kingsley dashed to the dining room.After the three sat at the table, Serena put a bowl of


    oatmeal with fruits in front of her little brother, cooing, “Have some oatmeal, Kingsley. The fruits are


    really sweet.”“Umm…” Suspicious, Kingsley picked up the bowl and scrutinized it before shaking his


    head. “I don’t have a sweet tooth.”With that, he chucked the entire bowl of oatmeal into the trash


    can.“Congrattions. 98 more to go,” Serena said with a hint of a smile in her foxy eyes.Just then,


    Reene’s phone rang. However, Reene frowned upon seeing the caller ID, answering, “Hello?


    Mom?”“Reene, we’ve arranged a blind date for you today. Would you like to meet up with him?”


    Ysabel’s voice was so loud that even Serena and Kingsley heard her loud and clear.“Mom, I don’t want


    to think about my love life now.”“He’s the son of President Kean, your father’s old acquaintance. He just


    returned from studying in Sweoya, and his family is super influential. You really don’t want to think


    about it?” Audibly, Ysabel was clearly beginning to get upset.“But I still have work to do today. I—”“I’m


    telling you, your father pleaded and beggedst night before we finally get this chance.” Ysabel


    shrieked before even letting Reene finish her words. “Go, or we’ll think you want to see us


    doomed!”Reene bit her lower lip, stuck in a difficult position. But just as she wanted to refuse again,


    Kingsley said inly, “Say yes. I’ll go with you.”
