Chapter 606: Sacrificing Family for Justice
Both of them found nothing inside. Damien was puzzled, "Could she not be in there?" Hya replied, "Unclear, the information department said she was indeed taken by John Wilkinson." "I'll follow John Wilkinson," Damien said. "You go back and report to the master." Hya knew what Damien meant; he wanted to deal with Selene secretly. "Alright," Hya didn't say much more. With Damien's skills, dealing with an amnesiac Selene might still be difficult. Hya knew Selene's abilities well; despite always being the one to finish things from behind, in a real fight, she might not be able to defeat Selene. When she was fifteen, she fought Selene and lost; Selene had let her win. It was a life-and-death duel; the loser would die. Selene gave her the chance to live. Hya had always remembered this favor.
Hya didn't follow Damien but instead sneaked back to Celestial Alliance headquarters. She needed to get the antidote quickly to restore Selene's memory; otherwise, Selene's situation would be too dangerous.
Without news of Selene, Reginald was on edge every day. Terrence found it strange too; she went in and there was no movement since. Terrence probed Liam for information, but Liam didn't know either, only that John Wilkinson was handling Selene's case. This meant only John Wilkinson knew.
Reginald moved out of Ravenwood, telling Grandma Sterling he had bought a house outside and would settle in Auroraville, thus moving out smoothly. Reginald moved so quickly that Terrence had a bad feeling. For the next few days, Terrence had people secretly watch Reginald.
Terrence knew everything Julian did at the company. Reginald indeed targeted Julian, trying to set a trap using him. Terrence didn't warn Julian because everything in the company was under his control. A week after Selene disappeared, he arranged a meeting with John Wilkinson.
As one of the victims nearly killed by Celestial Alliance, John Wilkinson naturally agreed to meet Terrence.
At a tea restaurant, John Wilkinson arrived and saw Terrence making tea like a normal person and drinking it; he was quite surprised. "Terrence, your eyes are healed?" John Wilkinson naturally knew about Terrence's blindness. The news of this once-proud son of heaven going blind had spread all over Auroraville, dominating headlines for days. Many people felt sorry for him.
Terrence calmly placed a cup of tea in front of John Wilkinson, "Try this tea; it clears the eyes. One can heal blindness but it's more troubling if one's heart is blind. I've been blind for so long but my heart sees clearer now." There was meaning in Terrence's words. John Wilkinson sat down and asked, "Why did you want to see me?"
"I know Captain Wilkinson is investigating Celestial Alliance. As a responsible citizen, I'm here to provide clues," Terrence said calmly after taking a sip of tea. "I know who founded Celestial Alliance." Liam couldn't find out but John Wilkinson could.
John Wilkinson perked up at this, "Do you really know? Who is it?" "I can't say for certain but I'm almost sure," Terrence said. "If I'm not mistaken, Selene should be with you now. I want to know if she's alive or dead." John Wilkinson asked, "You seem quite concerned about her-a Celestial Alliance assassin-why do you care so much about her fate?"
"Selene once served as my wife's bodyguard for a while and did us favors. When our daughter was born, she gave generous gifts out of sentiment and reason; it's only right to inquire about her," Terrence stated plainly. "You didn't get any useful information from Selene!" It was a statement, not a question.
John Wilkinson admitted, "No, I didn't. She's fine but I can't disclose her location due to team regulations. You just mentioned knowing Celestial Alliance's founder-who is it? How do you know?"
Terrence put down his teacup and looked serious, "He is Reginald Sterling, also known as Reginald Hawthorne-my uncle."
John Wilkinson was shocked again upon hearing this: "Terrence, do you have any evidence?" Rumors had it that Terrence would sacrifice family for justice without hesitation; he had already sent several uncles to prison before and now seemed ready to send another one in.
