He placed the picked vegetables into a bamboo basket, returned to the courtyard of a simple house, and set the basket down.
âI have some guests arriving,â he told the woman inside.
âIâll go out for a bit and be back soon.â
The womanâs voice was soft and gentle, sounding very young.
âHow many guests? Do they need to stay for dinner? Should I make more dishes?â
Kyson smiled.
âNo need.
This house is small and canât accommodate them.
Besides, there wonât be a chance to entertain them in the future.â
The woman continued, âHilda will be back soon.
You should hurry up and fetch the guests.
If you miss dinner, sheâll be upset.â
âMm, it wonât take long.â
Kyson took a deep breath of the fresh air and headed toward the mountain.
The sun was already setting and places were slowly becoming dark.
The light at the top of the mountain gradually dimmed.
The breeze blew on Kysonâs face, making him feel cold.
Standing on the top of the mountain, Kyson was very calm.
Despite the cold breeze, he didnât even shiver.
The roar of the engines of the five helicopters grew louder and louder, but Kyson remained still, waiting for the helicopters to land.
After a while, the helicopters finally landed.
Wearing a black military coat and military boots, Nathan got off the first helicopter, pulling a long face.
His gaze instantly met Kysonâs.
Following Nathan, Sonny also got off the helicopter.
He breathed a sigh of relief as soon as he saw Kyson.
Kyson could have run away, but he didnât.
Instead, he came to meet them.
There must be something they did not know.
Sonny was glad that he wouldnât be punished when they returned home.
âNathan, I canât believe you brought a dozen of people all heavily armed just to meet me.
People might think Iâm a criminal,â Kyson said with a playful smile.
Nathan gave Kyson a cold look.
He didnât have time for Kysonâs nonsense.
He cut to the chase and asked, âIs Lucinda here with you?â
Kyson smiled and casually replied, âThis isnât my place.
I just found her here.â
There was a hidden meaning in Kysonâs tone, and a slight smile played on his lips.
âNathan, Iâm lucky this time.
I found her before you did.
If she chooses me, will you respect her decision?â
Nathan frowned deeply, a murderous look shining in his eyes.
He strode over to Kyson and grabbed the collar of his shirt angrily.
âIf you try to take her away from me, I would have no qualms about putting you back in prison.â
Kyson looked calmly into Nathanâs eyes and they stayed like that for a few seconds.
Then Kyson said with a smile, âRelax.
If I really wanted to take Lucinda away from you for good, I would have simply changed my number to ensure that you would never locate me.
Besides, I would have prepared a big sum of money to take her abroad to a small country.
Once she and I were out of this country, it would take you a long time to find us, even with the help of the powerful National Security Bureau.
Am I right?â
