The Spirit Hunter System
A Child Doesn't Lie
The next day afternoon.
A Rolls-Royce Phantom stopped in front of a magnificent residential estate in City B. The back door of the car is open. From there, the figure of Adam wearing formal clothes came out. His expression seemed calm when he saw the large house in front of him.
After a while, Adam finally decided to come forward and hit the doorbell.
At that moment, Andrew's figure had realized Adam's coming. Not directly opening the door, he stared towards the little girl standing beside him while holding the puppet. Looking at the girl, her gaze became softer.
"Remember what you said, honey. Whatever happens, you have to stay hidden before I tell you to come out or someone knocks on the basement door three times like I taught you last time.
Do you understand?"
Andrew held the girl's shoulder. Staring at his eyes with a reluctant expression, he spoke softly.
"I understand, Father."
Andrean hugged the little girl for a while before finally lifting up and carrying her. He immediately drove the girl to the basement. There, there was a small hidden room. There were mattresses, pillows, blankets, even some of the girl's favorite snacks.
Asking his daughter to hide, Andreas then said.
"Dad loves you."
After saying that, Andreas closed the door and went to the living room.
Looking at the front door, he could not help but sigh deeply. Recalling the figure of the leader of the Phantom Blade, Andreas muttered.
"It seems that person is completely different from what you expected, Chairman."
After saying that, Andreas opened the door.
When the door opened, the figure of Adam wearing a black suit stood quietly while looking at him.
"Chairman of the Wings of Freedom, Adam."
Hearing the young man before him introduce himself calmly, even somewhat coldly, Andreas smiled.
"I've met and known you, Mr. Adam."
Andrew shook hands with Adam. After that, he said.
"Please come in."
"En."
Adam nodded lightly. After that, he followed Andreas into the house.
Arriving in the living room, Andrew invited Adam to sit down. Of course, the young man immediately sat quietly.
Andreas sat in his place while staring at Adam.
"So, what does Mr. Adam want from me?"
Hearing Andreas being so direct, Adam put the parcel on the table.
"I heard your daughter likes macaroni and sweets. Because it happened to pass by, I brought it."
Hearing Adam's words, Andrew's eyes narrowed. Wings of Freedom has been investigating his identity as well as his family.
"By the way, where's your daughter, Mr Andreas?"
"Sorry, that girl's been excited lately. So she went to play with her friend, maybe just came home in the afternoon."
Andreas scratched the back of his head and said in an awkward tone. Although it sounds polite, actually Adam himself already knows the truth.
'He lied. I heard a girl's voice even though it was faint. So, most likely Andreas told his daughter to hide or run away first.
Conclusion ... Andreas knows my arrival.'
Still putting a flat expression on his face, Adam shook his head lightly.
"Then it's a pity, I can't meet your sweet daughter. Just leave my regards to him later."
"Of course, Mr. Adam."
Receiving a gift from Adam with a polite expression, Andreas took him to the kitchen. Before leaving, the man asked.
"Tea? A coffee? Or fruit juice?"
"Fruit juice, please."
Having drunk coffee in the morning, Adam decided to drink another one in the afternoon and evening.
After a while, Andreas returned with two glasses of orange juice and a few jars of snacks.
"Please don't hesitate, there's only this in our place."
"Sorry to bother" said Adam.
After the two of them sat still for some time, the atmosphere became even more awkward.
"So ... what do you really want from me, Mr Adam?"
Hearing the question, Adam's expression became even more serious.
"Honestly, here I come to ask you something important, Mr. Andreas."
"Please say."
Just say ... what price do you want?"
"..."
Hearing Adam mention the name Golden Dew, Andreas' eyes narrowed. His expression became serious. He immediately became cold.
"Sorry, Mr. Adam. I don't know much, so you can find out through someone else."
"The vice chairman of Phantom Blade doesn't know an industry under them .. Do you think of me as a fool, Mr Andreas?"
"Even if I knew .. it had nothing to do with Wings of Freedom. Besides, haven't you gone overboard, Mr Adam?
In fact, if there is no prohibition to try to seize the sites of other groups, it is not rude to immediately seize the sites belonging to your senior in such a slim and cruel way.
Rather than trying to create a problem with the Phantom Blade, I recommend you to digest the Bloodlust Axe site. It is not good to make many enemies for yourself, Mr. Adam."
"Sorry, Mr. Andreas .. This is too important so I can't just let it go."
Finished saying that, Adam saw the figure of Andreas had stood up and pointed the gun at his forehead. Even just pull the trigger. At such a distance, it was impossible for Adam to move immediately. But he was also not interested in taking it for granted.
"Are you sure of your choice, Mr Andreas???"
When Adam's question was finished, the room temperature suddenly dropped. Andreas was surprised and hesitant. But when he remembered his daughter's smile, then remembered the chairman and his colleagues. But one thing is certain.
Andreas has no intention of hurting his daughter or betraying his comrades!
"I—"
"Wait!"
A shout suddenly sounded as the figure of the little girl ran over from behind the door while carrying her puppet. He stopped in front of his father. Putting the doll in front of her body, the girl opened her hands wide.
"Don't hurt dad!"
"What are you doing here? Didn't dad say—"
"I'm not leaving dad!"
"..."
Andreas' voice choked. He still points the gun at Adam, but the little girl protects him instead. Apparently, her daughter was worried that something bad was happening to her.
Adam stood up from his seat. He then looked at the figure of Andreas and his daughter.
"I have absolutely no intention of hurting you. I just need information on Golden Dew.
I also have no intention of antagonizing the Phantom Blade. The reason I did it was a personal matter, it shouldn't be something related to the Phantom Blade."
Looking towards the two, Adam said sincerely. This made Andrew doubtful. Meanwhile, the little girl looked surprised.
Tilting her head with an innocent expression on her face, she asked.
"Mr Owl???"
"..."
After the girl spoke, the atmosphere of the room instantly became quiet.
Andreas looked towards Adam with a surprised and somewhat panicked expression. Apparently, he was afraid that the young man in front of him suspected that he had a relationship with a fugitive that was highly sought after by the upper party.
"What are you saying, honey? Who's Mr Owl? We don't have an acquaintance called Mr Owl, do we?"
"Did you forget? Father said, I must remember the kindness of others. Didn't Mr. Owl ever save my life, so I'll keep on remembering it."
"..."
Andreas' back was soaked in cold sweat. He stared at Adam with a serious expression, ready to pull the trigger at any time to kill the young man. Even in front of her own daughter's eyes!
Adam reached into his pocket. His sudden movements made Andreas immediately warn.
"Don't move! Don't move or I'll shoot!"
"..."
Adam ignored Andrew. He saw the little girl running towards him and hugging his legs tightly.
"Good day, Mr. Owl!"
"..."
Seeing a pair of clear and innocent eyes staring at him, Adam smiled wryly. He stretched out his hand to stroke the little girl's head. The other hand took something out of his pocket.
"I give up" said Adam softly.
Saying that, Adam took out a business card that Andreas had given him earlier. It was because of the innocence of Andreas' daughter, and Adam finally also decided to trust the man.
"That's ..."
Looking at the business card in Adam's hand, Andreas dropped his body onto the chair. He immediately leaned back and let out a long sigh, looking very surprised.
Glancing at the young man stroking his daughter's head, Andreas smiled wryly.
"You really scared me ... Mr. Owl."
