Upon arriving at the Summers residence, they noticed that the doors were tightly shut. Observing the closed doors, Catina expressed her confusion, “The Summers family is considered prominent in Forlisle, so why have they gone to bed and closed their doors so early?”
Cloud also found it extremely strange. “It’s rather odd for such a prominent household to close its doors so early. It shouldn’t be the case.”
It wasn’t that late, but the doors of the Summers residence were tightly shut. This was somewhat unusual.
“Cloud, go knock on the door and see.”
Jared furrowed his brows and instructed Cloud to knock on the door. He wanted to find out why the Summers family had closed their doors so early. Did something happen?
Cloud stepped forward to knock on the door. He knocked for quite a while before someone finally opened it from the inside.
“What’s all this knocking about? Who are you people, banging on the door of the Summers residence so recklessly?” a young man bellowed angrily.
Upon seeing the other party open the door with anger and speaking inappropriately, Cloud instantly became furious.
“What’s the issue with knocking on the door? Is it forbidden to knock on the doors of the Summers residence?” Cloud retorted with a cold expression.
The young man was taken aback, about to yell, but Jared quickly stepped forward with a faint smile. “My friend,” he said, “we are here to see the head of the family. My name is Jared, would you mind informing him?”
Jared believed that as long as the gatekeeper revealed his name to Tyler, Tyler would undoubtedly come to greet him personally.
To his surprise, the young man waved his hand and said, “The head of the family is in seclusion. He’s not seeing anyone…”
“Seclusion?” Jared’s face was full of surprise. He had only just left the Celestial Battlefield not long ago, so how could he be in seclusion so soon?
“Then I’ll look for Jacques. Jennifer will do as well…”
Although Tyler had retreated from the world, Jacques and Jennifer were always around.
