"I agree too..." Vincent said with a bitter smile while accepting his fate. In order to untie a bell, the person who had tied it was required. Since what Molly had done resulted in a chain reaction later, he had to solve the problem with her assistance.
Standing up, Vincent raised his head to look to the top floor of Grand Night Casino. Although he couldn't see anything, he fixed his eyes on it for one minute. Then he lowered his head to look at Harrow and Tony. "I will come back. I must come back!" he said. After saying that, he turned around and left resolutely.
"Harrow," Tony said as he looked at Vincent, who was disappearing in his sight. "If Vincent isn't able to return, I'm afraid he will kill you and me."
Harrow wore a smile on his face. "In the worst case, I can go back home to help my father deal with business, while you..." he paused, shaking his head regretfully before he continued, "you can do nothing but receive his revenge. Aha..."
Harrow left too, while laughing. As he rolled his eyes, Tony cursed Harrow silently, turned around and entered Grand Night Casino.
At the top floor of Grand Night Casino... With a cigarette between his fingers, Brian stared at Vincent's receding figure with an elusive expression on his face.

Time flew fast, over a year had passed and a new summer was here.
Looking at the blooming roses all over the hill, Molly's mind drifted to a distant place. She was dressed in her training clothes.
"Mommy--"
a clear voice came from a distance. Molly turned her head, seeing two figures, one big and one small, running towards her. She squatted to pick up Mark into her warm arms. Mark had grown much taller in this past year. Thanks to Victor taking good care of him, his heart had integrated well with his body.
"Miss Molly," Vincent greeted her with a slight bow very respectfully.
Molly nodded at him with a sincere and grateful smile. Over six months ago, Victor had sent this man to her side, saying that he would follow her and be her attendant from then forward. She hadn't asked why but now she was not a coward as she had been. In fact now she was more open to change and accepting things bravely with a reinforced positivity.
"Mark, why did you come here?" Molly asked him upfront.
"I came to watch mommy's examination..." Mark raised his eyebrows and pointed to the people in front who were preparing the exercise field. "Mommy told me yesterday that you would certainly pass the examination today!"
"That's necessary!" Molly raised her eyebrows, with a confident expression.
Looking at her, Vincent could not tell how he was feeling now. When he had met Molly for the first time, he hadn't liked her at all, and he hadn't wanted her to stay with Brian. Later, he had come to stay by her side in order to come back to the XK Intelligence Agency. But when he had met her after a long time, he realized that her aura, attitude and everything was different almost as if she was reborn. Gradually, he changed his long-standing opinion about her.
Now he believed that this woman loved Brian no less than Brian had loved her before. Their love was unparalleled.
While bearing these thoughts, Vincent looked at the training ground. Maybe Molly didn't know, but he knew very well that
