"What are you talking about! Percy is my father... Terence?!" Casey said in astonishment.
When Casey heard what Annabel said, he almost lost his manner and directly said that Terence was his father.
Annabel stared at Casey in a little fear, wondering what happened to him and why he would be so gaffe after knowing that Percy was Terence.
After all, if it was someone else, he would not be interested in Percy's past name at all.
"Yes, Terence who you are looking for is Percy." Annabel gave Casey an affirmative answer.
Casey also noticed that he himself was a little gaffe. He sat down on the sofa and adjusted his state. He cleared his throat and said, "Sorry, go on."
"Before Percy entered Guanling, his name was Terence. This is what I heard from my father. He told me this incident was also known to him by accident. This incident can be regarded as a secret of Percy. He told me that I can’t tell others it, because it involves the origin of Percy. Once someone else knows about this matter and cause Percy some trouble, there is only one thing waiting for me, which is to be killed by Percy."
Annabel did not lie. She really heard it from her father. Percy was so ruthless. He would indeed kill everyone who caused him trouble, no matter what the person’s identity was.
"Where is Percy now?" Casey asked.
Annabel shook her head quickly and said, "I don't know. After successfully climbing high ladder, he can leave Guanling. He... he may have already left here."
Casey frowned again. What Annabel said wasn’t impossible. If Percy was really Terence, he might indeed have left Guanling after successfully climbing high ladder.
It was just that Casey had a lot of doubts. He didn’t understand why Terence, who had always been serious with a trace of gentleness, would become a bloodthirsty executioner after entering Guanling. He killed all his opponents. He even killed everyone in the same room as him on the first day when he entered Guanling.
Even if the people in the dungeon were desperadoes outside, Terence didn't have to kill them all. After all, they were locked in the dungeon of Guanling, which was equivalent to punishment for them.
If Terence really left Guanling after climbing high ladder successfully, what was the purpose of his entry here? What had he done here?
Another thing that puzzled Casey was that if Terence really left Guanling and returned to the outside world, why had Terence not come to him in the past few years?
Even if Davies family was controlled by Sasha and Margaret, Terence would have ways to find Casey. Based on Casey's understanding of Terence, Terence would definitely find Casey after he left Guanling.
However, for so many years, Casey had not seen Terence. Even there was no news about Terence in the outside world.
If Terence had really returned to the outside world, unless he hid in a deep mountain or a forest, Casey, who had been working to find Terence, would definitely get some clues.
Casey frowned and was troubled by these doubts. If he wanted to figure out these doubts, he would have to see Terence himself.
"That... that's all I know. Now can you tell me what is the relationship between you and Terence?" Annabel asked tentatively.
