Orion recognized the person Xander had called, who was stationed outside.
Frowning, he asked, “What’s the matter? Why are you so flustered?”
The neer shook his head, rifying that he wasn’t flustered, just anxious.
“There’s someone outside looking for you.”
Orion inquired, “Who is it?”
The person replied, “I don’t know.”
Orion thought to himself, Isn’t that a pointless question?
“Well, let’s go and see,” he said, taking a step towards the exit.
The person followed him closely.
At the doorstep, Orion saw the person who hade to find him.
To be precise, it was a boy!
He appeared to be around 5’7″ tall, skinny, covered in dirt, as if he hadn’t bathed in a long time, even his hair was tangled.
Orion couldn’t even make out his features because his face was also dirty.
Curious, Orion asked, “You’re looking for me?”
The boy nodded.
“Who sent you to find me?” Orion asked.
“A Z-country person named Evan,” the boy replied, looking at him. “He told me about this ce.”
Orion immediately regained hisposure upon hearing Evan’s name.
However, he didn’t trust him immediately.
There had been a series of recent events, and things had beplicated.
“Is that so?”
“Yes,” the boy said, extending his dirty hand, which held a set of numbers.
It was Orion’s number.
“He said that if I couldn’t find you here, I should call you.”
The boy continued speaking.
Orion had already ced his trust in him, but he didn’t let him inside the house. Instead, he whispered to the person beside him, “Tell the people inside the house that I have to go out for something.”
Freya and the two children were living here.
Since this person’s background was unknown, he couldn’t let him enter recklessly.
Orion took the boy to a hotel.
“You go and clean up; I’ll get you a couple of clothes,” he said.
The boy nodded.
Orion gave him money and asked the hotel receptionist to buy some clothes.
Finding a secluded spot, he called Xander.
After a while, the call connected.
“Hello…”
“Xander, have you found Evan?”
“We’ve located him, but we haven’t rescued him yet,” Xander replied.
Leaning against the wall, Orion said, “A man has arrived here. He looks around sixteen or seventeen years old and is a foreigner. He ims that Evan sent him to find me. I can’t determine whether he’s a friend or foe!”
Xander was also uncertain. “Wait a moment. Let me hang up and call you backter.”
Orion waited for a while.
After a long time, Xander still hadn’t replied.
Orion was getting impatient and was about to decide whether to call back or not when the phone finally rang.
He immediately answered and eagerly asked, “What’s the situation? Why did it take so long?”Content ? N?velDrama.Org 2024.
“We’ve figured it out. He’s not a bad person, but it’s better not to keep him in the house,” Xander briefly exined the background of the boy.
The couple who had saved Elijah died.
This boy was their son.
After Evan was captured, he was imprisoned with him.
When Evan had a chance, he helped the boy escape.
Evan had only revealed Orion’s address to him, not the estate’s address, just in case!
If this person had ill intentions, letting him go to the estate would be inviting the wolf into the room.
So Evan disclosed Orion’s address instead.
Orion had acted cautiously this time, considering the situation thoroughly. Instead of directly taking him home, he brought him to a hotel.
After ending the call, Orion turned and walked back.
He pushed open the door to the hotel room.
Sitting on the sofa, he waited for a while.
He intended to probe into the background of this boy.
After a considerable amount of time, the boy still hadn’t emerged from the bathroom.
Orion nced at the time.
It had been over an hour.
Shouldn’t he have finished washing up by now?
Why hasn’t hee out yet?
He walked over and knocked on the door.
There was no response from inside.
He raised his hand and pushed it open.
Inside, there was still mist from the water, but the boy was no longer there.
Where did he go?!
