Returning from the Dead: His Secret Lover novel Chapter 1613

That gave Karl an epiphany, and he finally understood what Sebastian was implying.

“You mean Jason is planning on returning to Elysium to fight for the king’s position?” he asked.

With his eyes still fixated on the cigarette, Sebastian’s lips curled in disdain as he replied, “Perhaps. It’s also possible that he’s simply being used as a pawn by someone else.”

Karl froze.

A pawn? What does he mean by that?

“You mean…”

“Calvin had never left SteelFort when Charles went looking for him, so no one had ever seen his face. After that incident in which Calvin was captured, that b*stard was the only one who had seen him, but he’s dead now. Who else do you think would still remember his face?”

Karl stared at Sebastian, his mind in turmoil.

He’s right! Why didn’t I think of that? Being SteelFort’s best assassin, Calvin rarely showed himself before his enemies! Even if he did, he would be sure to keep his face hidden. The first time he showed his face was when he parted ways with Mr. Hayes at the nightclub in Jadeborough. They were dealing with the Jadesons at the time. But shortly afterward, he was captured by that b*stard Hubert, and no one else seemed to have come into contact with him until Sabrina rescued him later on. Hubert worked for Alfred at the time. And Alfred works for Eddie!

His eyes were bloodshot after he came to that realization.

It was already evening by the time Vivian received a video call from Sebastian.

“Vivian, I have a question for you. Will you answer it for me?”

“Sure thing, Daddy!” Vivian replied while sitting in front of her laptop.

Feeling relieved, Sebastian wasted no time asking his seventeen-year-old daughter, “Vivian, do you still remember Calvin?”

“Huh? H-How did you know about that, Daddy?” she stuttered, panicking a little as she did not tell Sebastian about her meeting someone who looked the same as Calvin.

While guilt ate away at her conscience, she stared at her father anxiously.

To her surprise, however, Sebastian did not get mad at her in the slightest. Instead, he maintained that gentle look in his eyes as he said, “I’ve always known that, Vivian. I know you can’t bring yourself to forget him. Now that the bad guys who caused his demise back then have reappeared, I want to ask you if you’re willing to avenge Calvin by bringing them to justice.”
