Vicky glanced at the driver and took out her phone quietly. Her expression darkened when she noticed that she received no signal on her phone.
"Ms. Shaw," said the driver. "Don't worry. We won't hurt you. We're only inviting you over because Old Mister wants to see you."
"Old Mister?"
"There's a signal blocker here on the car, so don't try anything, Ms. Shaw," added the driver monotonously.
Vicky gazed down and confirmed that she could not make any phone calls.
10 minutes later, the taxi arrived at a mansion where someone was already waiting by the door.
It was none other than Magnus.
"We meet again, Ms. Shaw," Magnus said.
She glanced at him and said, "I'm sorry, but I've suffered from amnesia and don't remember who you are."
Magnus was not at all offended and smiled patiently. "Allow me to introduce myself again, then. My name is Magnus Hawthorne."
Vicky nodded wordlessly, and Magnus proceeded to guide her into the mansion.
The mansion exuded a quintessential oriental style with its winding corridors and picturesque scenery that resembled a painting. After a leisurely walk of about twenty minutes, Vicky found herself led to a secluded rear garden.
There, Magnus respectfully addressed the elderly man seated on a stone bench, "Sir, Ms. Shaw has arrived."
The old man leaned on his cane, his gaze fixed upon the chessboard on the stone table. Without lifting his head, he said, "Take a seat."
