Sherry asked hurriedly, "Miss, does that mean that the enemy came for Mr. Larson?"
Kathleen muttered, "That may not be the case. He might not be the real target.
However, I feel that I won't be in any danger for the time being. The enemy is strong, but since he's letting me go, he may have realized Mr. Larson's strength.
Perhaps he deemed Mr. Larson a threat in Aurous Hill, so he attacked Mr. Larson..."
Sherry was puzzled by Kathleen's assumption. "But all this is too strange... M r. Larson is indeed very strong. However, h e had never shown his ability or attacked anyone in Aurous Hill. Besides, he's just a bodyguard, not a killer. He’s not an active threat to others. Why would the enemy target him?"
Kathleen pursed her lips. "That's what I'm trying to figure out now..."
She was interrupted mid-sentence by the sudden ringing of her phone. The one who called was her grandfather, Jordan Fox.
Kathleen hastily grabbed her phone and strode to the inner room. Once she was in her bedroom, she answered the call.
She greeted respectfully, "Grandpa."
Jordan asked anxiously, "Kathleen, where are you now?"
Kathleen replied, "I'm already back at the hotel."
Jordan asked again, "Is there still no news from Julian?"
Upon hearing that, Jordan sighed in relief. He didn’t expect Kathleen to treat his affairs with so much attention. Her actions touched him greatly.
With that, he gave it a thought and finally decided, "Alright, Kathleen. If you insist on staying in Aurous Hill, I'll send Master Yant to you to keep you safe.”
However, Kathleen refused this as well. " You mustn't let Master Yant come here! Assuming that our enemy is indeed a Dark Realm master, he's likely to be hostile to any other martial artists in Aurous Hill. To a Dark Realm master, Mr. Larson, a six-star martial artist who suddenly appeared here, is just like a fox entering the hunting range of a tiger. Naturally, Mr. Larson became a target. So will Master Yant!"
"Besides, the enemy is far too powerful. Master Yant has no chances of winning. I should stay here and slowly look for clues. I n this way, I can continue to get closer to the owner of the Rejuvenating Pill, killing two birds with one stone."
Jordan hesitated for a moment and finally agreed. He sighed heavily and said,"
Kathleen, I'll leave this to you. If you need m y help with anything, just let me know!"
