Summer placed his glass down and headed downstairs.
Christ was not particularly tall, standing around 5’9”, with a physique that leaned towards stocky.
Upon seeing Summer come down, a flicker of concern crossed his face.
"Summer, where did you get that Jellyfish Seal? Have you seen that girl Cynthia?"
Christ and the Grand Elder were among the senior members of the organization; they had watched Cynthia grow up.
They had taught Cynthia the art of hypnosis, but she had surpassed them, becoming more skilled than her teachers.
Summer was sought out by Christ because, although Summer had a strong presence within the organization, he rarely meddled in its affairs.
In recent years, it had been K, the young upstart, who had been openly commanding others.
After Cynthia’s disappearance, K, still at a young age back then, had already mastered the art of winning people over.
Over the years, even without the Jellyfish Seal, everyone except the Grand Elder and Christ had come to heed his word.
Only Summer remained neutral, but now that he had suddenly sided with K, Christ wanted to know what was happening.
Christ was oblivious to the fact that Summer was the mastermind behind Forbidden Island, and unaware of Summer’s cold-hearted nature.
"How's Cynthia been all these years? Why hasn't she come back? Summer, where is she now?"
Christ no longer possessed his former vigor; both he and the Grand Elder had been waiting for Cynthia’s return.
Cynthia was the Holy Daughter of BK; she should be honored. How could she be a solitary existence?
Summer found his worried look amusing.
Once upon a time, the sight of Christ's worried expressions would have sent him rushing to Cynthia's side, to torment her relentlessly.
He found delight in having deceived everyone; to a degree, he identified with K.
K also enjoyed manipulating others, showing cunning beyond his years.
He had harbored resentment for a piece of advice from Cynthia for years.
Summer smiled, his face amiable and warm.
To an outsider unaware of her true nature, seeing his smile would make them think he was a kind teacher.
But beneath the facade, he was beastly at heart.
"I haven’t seen Cynthia. I accidentally obtained the Jellyfish Seal during a trip in Windhelm. That even surprised me."

Is author playing with our emotions?...
Why are there no updates yet, Author. We've all been waitibg for quite a while now. Please, update soon, Author. Thanks....
Author, my thoughts on the book. When are You going to write on Cornelia and Omar Casson's romance? You made no mention, describing in detail how Maja and Uan's white wedding ceremony went. Also, you didn't write on Carol's baby delivery. What about Tyler's romance. Is there closure on Phelps Herrington being truly certified dead, so also his twin brother? Dylan's research institute "little girl", what became of her and Dylan's romance? Beck's blind dates, what were the results, is he married now, so also Dylan to his "little girl"? Why hasn't Ian's father- Steven come forward to meet Maja's parents as the in-laws meeting each other especially with his supposed past with Lillian; Maja's mother. I hope I won't remain curious for too long on the aforementioned issues, Author. Thanks for doing a good job on Zoey and Fitch's romance, though. Kudos....
