Chapter 899

After Karl had sent Joyce away.

Karl returned to his office.

When he looked back upon what happened today, he felt like he was

dreaming.

For four years, the heavy stone he had been carrying in his heart finally

fell to the ground at this moment.

But he did not feel at ease at all, because, as he knew, a stronger

opponent had appeared.

Otis, the second most powerful man in the military, was much more

difficult to deal with than Ricky.

Back then, even if it was but a mere Ricky, his carelessness almost

cost him his life. Today's Otis would be more than that. But, he was no

longer the Karl of that year either, and now, he had tremendous power

in his hand.

That said, his long-cherished wish for four years had finally come real

and he felt so relieved.

As long as Joyce was safe, he would have no regrets.

He felt relieved, and he thought of Juanita, who had been his silent

support for four years, and he picked up his cell phone and dialed her

number.

Usually they didn't see each other much, and after the accident four

years ago, Juanita became quite shy instead. She had been

deliberately avoiding him. If it wasn't for the continuous efforts of the

two families to create opportunities for them to meet, he was afraid they

might have already lost contact.

He seldom took the lead in such a matter, and he was usually very

busy at work, so he seldom called her.

A few moments later, the call was answered.

Juanita's sweet and delicate voice came, "Well, Karl, are you looking

for me? Is there something wrong?"

“I want to see you tonight, Cloud Sea Restaurant, six o'clock. How's

that?" He paused for a moment, "We can talk about it ... about getting

married.”

Apparently, the person on the phone, froze for a moment.

“Your mother is pushing you again? It's okay. I'll talk to her, and I don't

want to get married yet."

"No. My mom didn't say anything, and I wanted to call you myself." Karl

said softly.

This time, on the phone, the silence lasted much longer.

Karl waited patiently for Juanita’s reply.

After a long time, so long that he almost thought she had hung up long

ago.

"Did you ... find her?" She asked.

"Hmm."

Karl faintly uttered a word, and he sounded relaxed.

"Good. See you tonight." She answered softly and immediately hung up

the phone.

On the other hand, when Luther called Joyce, to his surprise, the call

was answered by Karl.

After Karl hung up the phone, an inexplicable fear and panic welled up

in him.

What could the bizarre murder of that Mr. Walsh of Blue Maple have to

do with her? It was clear that she was with him yesterday.

He rushed to turn on the TV.

It so happened that the channel was broadcasting the Hotel Dragon

murder live.

A police cordon had been set up underneath the building, several

police cars were parked at the entrance, police officers were busy

going in and out, and reporters had all gathered in front of Hotel

Dragon.

The news anchor narrated excitedly, “This morning, a bizarre murder

occurred in our city. The deceased is Mr. Walsh of Blue Maple Group.

So far, the police have not found any suspicious people entering the

scene. According to our sources, the deceased does not look like he

has died a natural death. There are even comments that it looks more

like it was done by non-humans ..."

Since Anderson was beside him and the TV was showing a bloody

picture, Luther then turned off the TV.

He really didn't expect that that Mr. Walsh of Blue Maple Group had

died, and he didn't know if it was the older Mr. Walsh or the younger Mr.

Walsh.

After four years of absence, Karl went to the House of Inspection

Special Investigation Unit?

How did he get involved in this case?

What could the murder have to do with Joyce?

And why was Karl with her? And he was answering her phone calls?

There had been too many questions that could not be explained.

At that moment, Anderson tugged on Luther's sleeve, "Uncle Luther, I'm

hungry.”

Luther held his forehead. How he forgot that she left home in a hurry

this morning and left the child with him?

Really!!! A great deal of trust in him!!!

Forget it. Since she was with Karl, there could be no danger for the

time being.

He could forget about that for now, and it's more important to take care

of Anderson.

"Okay, I'll make you something." He stroked Anderson’ soft hair, his

dark eyes overflowing with soft light.

"Uh-huh, wait for you.” Anderson nodded.

Luther approached the kitchen and opened the refrigerator.

He took out eggs, ham, vegetables, and apples.

He made a pot of cereal.

Then, thick sandwiches were made and apple juice was squeezed.

Then, he set the breakfast neatly on the table and called out,

"Anderson, let's have breakfast.”

Anderson quickly climbed up to the chair.

Luther served him a bowl of cereal, made another sandwich, and

poured a glass of apple juice.

"Wow, that looks so delicious.” Anderson clapped his little hands, "I

can't see that you can cook t00."

Luther froze, "Why would you think that way?"

Although he could not cook too complicated dishes, he sure can make

some simple ones. Without Joyce around him, he often stayed by

himself. He did not want to go out, did not want to see people, and

when it was time, made some food for himself to just get by, day after

day, year after year.

Those days and the loneliness made him cringe. He never wanted to

go back to the past.

And in front of him, Anderson was having his breakfast with great

pleasure. It felt so good.

"Anyway, you look like you're not very good at housework.” Anderson

heckled, "But the cereal you made is really quite tasty.”

"Huh." Luther laughed out loud.

He looked like a young master who could not do anything, didn't he?

"Eat more." He gently knocked Anderson’ little head.

Just when Anderson finished his breakfast.

The door to the apartment suddenly creaked open.

Joyce came in from the outside, and she used pupil recognition to

unlock the door.

As soon as she entered the door, she smelled the breakfast, which

instantly whetted her appetite.

"Mommy, you're home." Anderson ran to the door, hugged Joyce's thigh

and jumped excitedly.

Joyce looked up and saw Luther's angry handsome face, and then

looked at the breakfast on the table. She said awkwardly, "You're

awake. Have you all had breakfast?"

"Huh." Luther glared at her with displeasure and pointed to the clock on

the wall, "So you still know your way back. It's almost noon."

She knew she was in the wrong, “Is there any breakfast left? I haven't

had breakfast yet."

In fact, she was about to throw up from hunger.

"Saved it for you." He glanced at her coldly and gave her a bowl of

cereal and set it on the table.

"Okay, thanks."

Joyce put down her bag, sat down at the table, and ate in silence.

Soon, she finished a bowl of cereal.

Luther sat next to her and waited patiently for her to finish eating. Then,

he suddenly reached out and pressed her arm firmly, "Are you okay?"

His bright black eyes were filled with concern, and his worry was

undisguised.

“I'm fine."

Her heart warmed up and she shook her head.
