When Terence heard the question from Casey, his eyes instantly became sharper, and that bloodthirsty aura on his body seemed to be more terrifying.
After a long time, he gave a long sigh and said, "It involves the biggest secret of Guanling, I can't tell you this secret yet, when you reach to a certain level, you will know why naturally. For now, it's best for you not to think about the reason for this matter, otherwise it won't do you much good."
After hearing Terence’s word, Casey had no choice but to give up. He knew that Terence did not tell him the secret because he wanted to protect him, perhaps at his level now, he was indeed not qualified to learn that secret.
After that, Terence told Casey a bit more about their history with the Turner family and the sphere of influence of Guanling to the world.
The Token of War that Terence gave Casey could allow him to command all the people and forces that Guanling had distributed in the outside world, and he also taught Casey the ways to contact those people from Guanling in the outside world, telling Casey that no matter what his needs were, he could seek help from the people from Guanling.
As long as Casey returned to the outside world, he would become the spokesman of Guanling in the outside world, and he would have the same power as Terence, and could call on all the resources of Guanling as a means to confront the Turner family.
After clearing the air, Terence patted Casey's shoulder and smiled, "You are my greatest pride in my life."
Casey nodded seriously at Terence and said, "I won't let you down."
After the brief reunion, what awaited Casey was still a parting, but now that he knew that Terence was still alive and had become the owner of Guanling, he finally could relieve.
The two of them chatted about some commonplace things, and Casey told Terence that he had gotten married. Terence looked very happy when he heard this, and asked Casey if he was a grandfather yet.
Casey shook his head with a smile and told Terence that he didn't have a child yet, but when Terence was able to get out of Guanling, maybe he would have a grandchild.
After a long time, Casey got up and walked towards the outside, and as he reached the door, Terence called him back again.
"You must be careful out there, and remember, don't provoke the people of the Pantheon." Terence said seriously.
In the helicopter, Casey looked down at this place that existed in the middle of a mountain range, comparable to the Seven Wonders of the World. He was full of emotional thoughts.
This time, he came to Guanling, he had learned a lot. Of course, the biggest reward was that he made to meet Terence.
As he watched Guanling gradually becoming smaller, Casey also withdrew his gaze.
He took a deep breath, then slowly closed his eyes and began to think about what he should do next.
It would take him a day and a night to get back to J City from Guanling, even by helicopter. He missed Edith so much, and he wondered what she was doing now. When he came back, he couldn’t wait to have a good time with her.
In H City, in the villa of Tomson Riviera.
Edith was sitting in front of the window, both eyes staring out of the window. She looked very confused and her face was full of doubt, as if she was struggling with something she couldn't figure out.
After a long time, the door of the room was pushed to open and a maid came in and said respectfully to Edith, "Miss, it's time for you to eat."
Only then did Edith come to her sense and turn to look at her, finding that the maid had already pushed the food cart over.
"You can put it there, I'll eat later." Edith said.
The maid nodded and put everything on the food cart to the table, and after getting it done, she bowed to Edith and turned around and left.
As soon as the maid left, the man with the dragon head walking stick in his hand walked in and smiled at Edith, "Is the food not to your liking? You've eaten very little in the past few days, you've just recovered, it is not good for your health if you eat only a little."
Edith looked up at the man and didn't answer the question, but said, "Father, I still can't remember anything, I can’t recall my past memories, but my instincts tell me that I don’t belong here before, and sometimes I still wonder if you are my father or not."
The man laughed and said, "My silly daughter, of course I am your father, you are just under the illusion of being injured."
"But I feel like I've lost someone very important, my instincts make me want to look for this person, but I can't remember who this person really is, and it's causing me great pain." Edith replied.
"Edith, the doctor has said that this is just a nervous delusion that occurs after you have been injured. If you lose anyone, is it not clear to me as your father? This is because you have not rested well." The man replied.
Edith nodded and said, "Okay."
"Edith, you have to remember that your name is Sylvie Sue, you are the daughter of Darius Sue, the princess of the entire business empire in H City. It doesn't matter if you can't recall your past, what matters is your future, after you have fully recovered, I will take you to meet some people, if they can’t help you to bring back your past memories, then let them be your future memories."
"We have to look into the future and come out of the memories of the past, this may be a gift from God to you."
The man spoke to Edith with a solemn face.
