The four of them came out of the 18th Prison and sat down in a nearby gazebo.
A servant brought them a pot of cold tea and poured it for each of them.
The sunshade and gentle breeze made them feel cool when they calmed down. But some people just couldnât sit still, like Allonzo Hobson.
So in less than a minute, while the other three enjoyed the breeze and the gift of nature, Allonzo asked someone to fetch two ice creams.
Clark Manor is so big, with thousands of servants. The salary and welfare here are good.
So in summer, there are refrigerators with ice cream available at intervals in
Clark Manor.
Only they are hidden so well that they donât affect the overall classical atmosphere of the house.
Allonzo fetched two of them and specifically got a strawberry flavored one for
Daisy Zane. He placed it in front of Daisy and said, âBrook Sister, here.â
Putting the spoon in his mouth, he sat down and removed the lid, saying,
âArenât you guys hot in this weather?â
Daisyâs cool eyes were instantly drawn to the ice cream.
Kevin Clark looked at Daisy.
Hugo also noticed that something was suddenly off and glanced at Daisy as well.
âSister Lucia, eat it, itâs free,â said Allonzo.
Daisy stared at the ice cream for two seconds, then pretending not to see Kevinâs gaze, reached out to open the ice cream box.
As she reached for a spoon, she caught sight of Kevinâs hand reaching out in the corner of her eye.
Daisy quickly pressed down on Kevinâs hand, then looked up at him.
Allonzo bit down on his spoon, looking at the two of them, unable to swallow the ice cream he had just put in his mouth. Hugo was also startled by the sudden coldness in Daisyâs demeanor and looked at the couple.
Kevin exchanged a look with her and laughed, âWhat? If I donât let you eat, are you going to kill your husband?â
Daisyâs expression remained unchanged, and she just stared at him without speaking.
Anyone else would have been scared witless.
But to Kevinâs eyes, it only made her seem cuter.
She looked like a little wild cat protecting her food.
Proud, aloof, and adorable.
âIâll help you tear it open,â Kevin saw that she didnât let go and compromised, âYou can pretend to steal it. I wonât see.â
It wasnât until Daisy realized that he wasnât lying that she let go of his hand.
Kevin looked at the red handprint on his hand, picked up a spoon, tore open the packaging bag, and then put it in the ice cream in front of her.
Allonzo swallowed the ice cream that had melted in his mouth and began to angrily scrape at the ice cream in his hand with his spoon.
He thought the couple was going to fight, but they were actually showing off their love!
Hugo quietly looked away, sipping his tea with the manners he had cultivated for thirty years, trying not to roll his eyes in frustration.
Daisyâs face didnât change, but after taking a bite of ice cream, Kevin could clearly feel her happiness.
So he smiled softly.
Allonzo angrily ate two more bites, feeling his mood improved, and then asked, âArthur, why did that man just break his hypnosis by himself?â
Kevin finally took his eyes off Daisy and looked at him, âHe must have had special training on Edward Kirstenâs address.â
âSpecial training?â
âYeah.â Kevin Clark explained, âFor instance, I just asked him where he last saw Edward Kirsten. This question probably reminded him of something too painful to bear. So he broke out of the hypnosis himself.â
âThis kind of training must be very cruel.â Hugo Clark said, âCruel enough to make a death warrior of this level fear it.
âMmhmm.â
Allonzo Hobson rested his chin on his hand and said, âSince we canât get the address out of him this time through hypnosis, the same result will happen next time. We can only wait until he is willing to talk.â
âThen there is no definite time.â Hugo Clark said solemnly, âWith his current reaction, his psychological defenses are high, and he will definitely stalemate with us for a while.â
Allonzo Hobson nodded.
âIâve already sent someone to check those three locations.â Hugo Clark said, âTheyâll take a cautious look for now, without alerting anyone. I donât know if there have been any transfers.â
âIn all my life, Iâve never met someone as difficult to deal with as this Edward Kirsten guy.â Allonzo Hobson said, âHigh intelligence, very cautious. If I lived this carefully every day, I would die.â
Daisy Zane ate her ice cream leisurely, and she agreed with Allonzo Hobsonâs six words.
âThatâs why⦠you canât be born a bad guy.â Hugo Clark said, âYou donât need to be caught by others, youâll expose yourself.â
âTo hell with that! I definitely wonât!â Allonzo Hobson replied, his legs crossed, âI pursue freedom, leisure, and a simple life. You donât understand.â
Hugo Clark ignored him.
âThe enemy is hidden in the dark, taking advantage of their concealed position. Naturally, it will take some effort.â Arthur North said, âEven the most sophisticated criminals will show flaws.â
Allonzo Hobson nodded, eating his ice cream, quiet for a while, and then asked, âYou said that this person has undergone special training for addresses.
What about names? Could Edward Kirsten be a fake name?â
Hugo Clark didnât say anything, but he acknowledged the possibility.
âThere hasnât been any training,â Arthur North said, âbut the name he knows could be fake.â
Allonzo Hobson started nodding again, but after only two nods, he suddenly stopped.
Because he heard Daisy Zane slowly speaking, her voice casual, âItâs not fake, his name is Edward Kirsten. Edward as in scenery, Kirsten as in inkstone, and white as in the color white. But⦠I donât know if he had any other names before.â
All three men looked at her again.
Arthur North remembered the note he found in Red Cliff Village.
See you later. The signature was a single character: âKirsten.â
Daisy Zane sat upright, her back straight, her legs together, and even her skirt hem was tidied up when she sat down. But her posture looked relaxed and casual.
Proper and comfortable.
âBrook⦠Brook Sister, how did you know?â
Daisy Zane gently scraped her ice cream with a spoon, paused, and said softly, âI lived with him for four years.â
Arthur Northâs hand under the round table slowly clenched.
The usually calm Hugo Clarkâs pupils trembled slightly.
But the biggest reaction came from Allonzo Hobson, who had dropped the wooden spoon from his hand onto the ground, making a slight collision sound with the stone brick.
What explosive news this was.
Allonzo Hobson even felt a momentary ringing in his ears, as if something had dully knocked on his head.
âI lived with him in Continent A for four years.â Daisy Zane ignored their reactions and continued, âBut I donât know where his laboratory is; I only found out 319 was his creation when I met an acquaintance at Red Cliff Village last year. The only thing I know is what he was researching, but he never let me get involved.â
Allonzo Hobson listened to her calm voice, which sounded like she was narrating a script, and swallowed hardâ¦.
