Reborn Through Fire (Kisa and Gilbert) novel Chapter 1266

Chapter 1266 Prohibited Area

“Why?”

Seeing Arthur’s serious and panicked expression, Kisa grew even more curious about the things within the archway.

Arthur replied, “That’s my grandpa’s territory. No one’s allowed to go in there.”

Kisa’s eyes glinted slightly.

“Why is that? Don’t you all stay together? Why are there territories?” she asked in confusion.

“It’s not that we have territories.”

Arthur peered into the archway. Then, he walked toward the villa.

Kisa quickly caught up to him.

“If it’s not that you have territories, then what is it? Didn’t you just say that’s your grandpa’s territory?”

“We don’t have territories. Everyone in the Mullen family can move around as they please anywhere in the courtyard except for that place.”

“Hoho. You’re making it sound like that place is a prohibited area.”

“Something like that.”

Arthur thought for a bit and continued, “Actually, in the beginning, that area was similar to the other areas in the courtyard. There was a rockery, pond, and gazebo. I even used to often play there when I was younger. After that, which was a few years ago, grandpa suddenly got someone to renovate that area. I heard that a basement was built. I also heard that the basement is decorated lavishly, has a huge garden built on the ground floor, and a little stream with water directed in from the outside. It’s beautiful,”

“You… heard?”

She asked Arthur, “Then, do you all know why your grandfather built that basement?”

“My grandpa said it’s to avoid the summer heat. Anyway, that place is a prohibited area in the Mullen residence. Other than my grandpa, nobody is allowed to go there, even my grandma.”

Kisa darkened her gaze.

‘To avoid the summer heat? How could it be something as simple as avoiding the summer heat? Why would Mr. Mullen Sr. make it seem so secretive and serious if it was merely for that? Unless there’s something hidden in that basement, Kisa thought.

Then, she subconsciously glanced at the area again.

It was pitch black, and it did not seem like anyone was staying there at all.

Arthur saw Kisa constantly looking at the place. He could not help but remind her, “Even the Mullen family isn’t allowed to go there, not to mention outsiders. That’s why you should be mindful and not get too curious. Otherwise, nobody will care if the bodyguards beat you to death.”
