Chapter 356 The Game And The Mission
Suddenly, a harsh electronic crackling sound came from somewhere inside the estate
“Welcome to Bridge Hill Manor.”

Damian immediately called out toward the courtyard, “Who are you? Weren’t we told we’d be able to see Chloe when we got here?”
“Tsk, tsk, tsk. Why are you in such a hurry?” The voice came through the static, making it sound even more grating. “Let’s play a game If you clear it, you’ll get to see Chloe. How about it?”
Damian scoffed. “What kind of stupid game? My time is valuable. Come out already! Quit playing these stupid mind games!”
“Hahahaha! If you don’t want to play, then go home. Pretend none of this ever happened.”
As soon as the voice finished speaking, the electronic static abruptly disappeared.
Silence settled over Bridge Hill Manor. Even the rustling of the fallen leaves in the wind seemed unusually loud.
Vincent glanced at Iris with a trace of concern.
Iris thought for a moment before making up her mind. Since they were already here, there was no reason to turn back.
As soon as Damian realized the voice was really gone, he grew anxious.
After all, finding Chloe was the main reason they had come.
“Hey! Don’t hang up! At least explain what’s going on!”
There was no response. The static did not return, and no one answered him.
The three of them exchanged glances before making a decision..
Apparently, they really were going to have to make their way through the estate.
Vincent stepped inside first, followed by Iris and then Damian. They walked together along the only path available until they reached the middle of the courtyard, where the path split into three separate directions.
Vincent and Damian looked at each other.
The three paths were obviously designed for three people. Whoever had arranged this had specifically instructed them to bring Iris, but they had also known that Damian would come with her and had prepared accordingly.
Under Vincent’s gaze, Damian’s body gradually stiffened.
“I can’t do this. I’m good at tracking people online, but I’m not exactly experienced with this kind of thing in the real world.”
Vincent sighed in disappointment.
“I don’t feel comfortable letting Iris go alone. Let’s all give it a try. Iris and I will take one path together, and you can choose one for yourself”
Before Damian could respond, Iris interrupted him.

There’s no need for that. We can all take the same path.”
As she spoke, she posed toward the path on the right, the one Damian had been about to choose.
Damian stared at her in surprise “ins why do you want to take this one? It doesn’t look any different from the other two
Iris walked over to Damian and pointed toward the weeds growing along the edge of the path
it actually is different. At first glance, all three paths look the same, but there’s an obvious difference between a path that’s frequently used and one that isn’t. You just have to look at the vegetation along the sides.”
Vincent and Damian walked over to the third path and examined the weeds before looking back at ins
Ins suddenly realized what had happened. The two brothers had grown up surrounded by wealts and herury, so they naturally wouldn’t have paid attention to something like this
The weeds along this path look fresher than the ones on the other two
Damian scratched his head
“Wouldn’t fresher weeds mean that no one has used this path?”
Iris straightened and brushed nonexistent dust from her clothes before looking at hum
-That would normally be true if we only considered now. fresh the vegetation looks we would assume that this path hasn’t been disturbed recently But look at the soil it’s loose which means in was dug up recently. And look at these leaves The tips are already starting to turn yellow”
She pointed at the plants.
“That means the vegetation was brought here from somewhere else and transplanted into the soil. It was probably moved recently, but because it wasn’t getting enough nutrients while it was being stores, some of the leaves have already started to yellow”
Damian’s eyes lit up as he looked at Ins
This was the kind of knowledge you couldn’t learn from a textbook
Vincent, however, remained unconvinced
“That doesn’t necessarily mean this is the right path. They could have done this intentionally to mislead us.”
“They wouldn’t have,” Ins said: “Look at the other two paths The soil is already noticeably dry, which means it has been sitting undisturbed for at least two or three days
She looked at him.
“If those paths haven’t been used for several days, then why would someone go to the trouble of making this path look different?
ins almost wanted to open her brother’s head and see what was going on inside How could he have missed something so obvous? Was this really the man who was supposed to help run their family’s company?
