Chapter 391
Even After Death
The castle-like mansion was massive and empty, so empty that one could hear his footsteps echoing
against the walls.
It was late at night. There were a few ancient wall lamps lit up, barely lighting up the darkness.
A piano sound broke the silence, filling the mansion. It was the famous song âThe Dream Weddingâ.
Listening to the song in an eerie castle in the middle of the night was scary. It wouldâve been a relaxing
song if it was played in any other venues.
Accompanied by the song, Chris ascended the stairs.
He found it odd to meet up with the mysterious leader of Toxic Hive this way.
Ethan, who was forced to stay in the yard, hid under the roof. He knew where the nearby
surveillance cameras were.
Hacking a surveillance camera was easy for him. It took him a few minutes to dysfunction
them.
The only scene that was shown on the surveillance footage should be the original scene.
Ethan, who had observed the castleâs structure, sneaked into the first floor through a pipeline.
Like a nimble black panther, he moved his way through the darkness with ease.
He heard the piano sound coming from the roof. The only daring person to play piano at this moment
was Ms. Rosa, who had never revealed her face before.
Most of Toxic Hiveâs laboratories were built underground, so Ethan sneaked into the
underground.
As he had expected, the underground of the mansion was spacious. The width was at least one
thousand square meters, and it consisted of several floors.
Hearing footsteps, he hurriedly hid in the corner near the stairs.
Thanks to the dim light, he could see a man and a woman leaving with hurried steps.
He heard the woman saying, âWhy is Mr. Y here at this hour? Madam told us not to disturb her.
Begonia and Leo are testing the medicines. Iâm afraid he wouldnât be satisfied with only us serving
him.â
âThereâs nothing else we can do. Just bite the bullet and escort him to the backyard so we wonât get in
Madamâs way.â
She sighed and grumbled while picking up her pace.
Ethan frowned while wondering who Mr. Y was.
He thought, âFortunately, Leo is here. And Begonia? Could it be her?â
His heart raced. Could Begonia be the person whom he had been looking for over ten years? Whose
death was the reason for his dreading sorrow?
He swung between happiness and sadness when he found out that Leia wasnât dead.
The further Ethan walked down the stairs, the lower the temperature dipped and the darker it
became.
He supposed that this place was just a temporary hideout because they didnât install an alarm
system. That was why he could sneak into the place successfully.
There were several rooms on every floor. The upper floors were accommodation, while the
lower floors were laboratories.
When Ethan walked to the end of the hallway, there were two rooms.
He knew that it was highly possible that the person he was looking for was in there.
He wasnât planning to alarm Leo and Begonia. Both of them were highly vigilant.
He waited in the darkness for a while when one of the doors opened.
A fox-masked woman appeared.
Her physique was similar to the woman he saw that day. It should be her!
She ascended the stairs hurriedly.
Considering that Chris was still upstairs, Ethan didnât dare to take action. Otherwise, both of them might
not be able to get out of here alive.
Secretly, Ethan entered the laboratory.
He could tell that theyâd recently moved in at a last-minute notice. The simple laboratory
wasnât completely equipped.
There were some bottles, jars, and reports placed on the table. Elated with his findings, he quickly
made a copy of the reports.
While he was copying them, he noticed a bottle of medicine.
It was labeled as âM-1â.
