Chapter 1550 Betrayal
Ian knew Kurt might have appeared because of Sebastian’s arrangement. That was why he wouldn’t ask Kurt too many questions, nor would he get in Kurt’s way.
Kurt answered honestly, “I did not see Duncan, but I found Vivi in a cave. She sprained her ankle, so I got her somewhere safe before I came to find you.”
Ian was surprised that Vivian and Duncan came in. “They came here too? What is this place anyway? How did they even come across this spot?”
“There’s a cavern right under the path you took. We came in through that place. Since you’re injured now, I’ll take you back to where Vivi is. Leave Duncan to me. I can search for him myself,” Kurt suddenly suggested.
Ian noticed his cold gaze, but he looked away after a moment and stared at the dusty cave.
“It’s all right. I’ll go with you. If my guess is correct, this place should be Eddie’s base back when Daddy and his friends fought him. Right after the battle, Daddy even came to look for the equipment’s research before he got into trouble. He gave it to me, but I couldn’t make them, so I gave them to Duncan.”
Kurt said nothing, and silence fell between them. It was not a peaceful silence, however, for the atmosphere was tense. It was nothing but the calm before the storm.
In the end, Kurt took Ian and went deeper into the base. They did not have to worry about Vivian, since Kurt knew the place like the back of his hand, and she had GPS in her smartphone. He could locate her whenever he wanted.
They went deeper into the base, and just as expected, they came to the center of the cavern about half an hour later. It was the research base under the temple that Sebastian had locked away.
When they came to the place, they heard the sound of something being knocked about. It was the sound of a glass container being rubbed, but it also sounded like a metallic item being knocked about.
Ian was as pale as a sheet of paper. He stood at the entrance, and he stopped walking. It took all he had to look at the person within the base, and he couldn’t even walk.
Found him. When Kurt saw the person, his eyes were filled with murderous intent, and it permeated the air around him. “You stay here. I’ll go inside alone.”
He patted Ian’s shoulder before he went into the base alone.
He knew how Ian was feeling. Because of his personality, it was hard for him to make friends whom he could fully trust. The reason he cheered up and became a happy guy over the last three years was thanks to Duncan.
