C-1 then showed the building plans from the Camouflage team's investigation of the abandoned house that was allegedly the orphanage where Jacob had been exiled from the world. Patterson observed the shape of the old building from the video played by C-1 on a tablet connected to a 60-inch screen on the wall of the room. The old man looked serious, even though he had to use glasses to see. Jacob, who had just seen the results of the team's search, was also tense. “The building should be demolished. There is nothing left to save. It's all old and worn out. Do you agree, Mr. Wyatt?” asked Patterson without looking at the man in question. “Go ahead, Sir. That house, is a dark past that must be destroyed and replaced with a new building. Like my future,” he replied, making Patterson smile. “The area is quite large. There are no obstructing buildings around. In fact, the view is quite good. Shady trees surround the area. It's far away from civilian settlements and offices. It's perfect fo
Upon arrival in Moloscow, Jacob and Ewald continued their journey to Rowbon. Elberta, who was still in town, awaited Wyatt's arrival at his house. “Mrs. Elberta, nice to meet you,” Jacob greeted, extending a hand to shake. “We meet again, Mr. Wyatt,” replied the woman who always wore a white dress in the parlor. Elberta's guards stood in several corners of the room. Ewald joined the conversation between the two city lords. “The results of your investigation were excellent, Madam,” Jacob praised, earning a smile from the old woman. “Yes. However, I am worried about the condition of those people. What if they were targeted, like what happened with Lorena and Almero?” replied Elberta which made Jacob and Ewald get serious instantly. “What Mistress Elberta says is true, Sir,” Ewald said, which made Jacob smile. “It may sound cruel, but it's good. This way, the people who have been trying to get rid of the Rodriguez family will appear. Let them be the bait,” Jacob said. “Yes, that
Jacob took the time to buy some Christmas gifts at a mall in the city of Vertiland for the people who had been good to him. Who would have thought, the gifts had to be transported by a pickup truck. Of course, the mall visitors, who saw Wyatt's figure because he bought a lot of goods, made a scene in the five-story building.“Look, the gifts he bought couldn't fit in the trunk of the car! The people who got gifts from him are so lucky!” exclaimed one of the mall customers as she watched the waitresses of the store Wyatt was visiting put the name-brand bags in the closed car.“Yes, I saw him enter some shops earlier. He must have spent a lot of money. I'm jealous,” one woman pouted as she watched Wyatt pick up an outfit, complete with hat, gloves, boots, and belt, to give to one of the lucky women on his list.The news of Wyatt Rodriguez buying up the entire mall became public. Reporters, who were not far from the mall, flocked to take pictures and also a few words from the handsome ma
The former bodyguards of the Rodriguez couple search for the whereabouts of their young master who entered the dark forest. Ten ordered his friends who would later join the RedFox group to split up. They moved in all directions, armed with pistols and flashlights for light. They carried the few supplies they needed, and stuffed them in their pockets. One searched the northwest side. Two went to the west side. Three went to the south side and Four went to the southeast side. Five and Six went to the south-west side. Seven and Eight went to the northeast side. Nine went to the east side, and Ten to the north. As silence fell in the darkness and cold early morning air, suddenly .... "Mr. Wyatt!" shouted Nine when he saw his young master running fast, not far from where he was. Jacob turned his head and saw Nine running after him. "There's a scout, Nine! He's wearing a white mask! He must be a member of the Pale!" Jacob shouted, which made Nine run even fas
Of course, Jacob's request left the men stunned. Keeping a wild and savage animal like a wolf? How could a Wyatt have such crazy thoughts? However, they didn't have the right answer to refuse him. "Our signal was blocked by the people who managed to infiltrate your territory, Mr. Wyatt. We can't receive or send outgoing messages. This was planned," Sheena said, breaking the silence. When Jacob wanted to express his thoughts, he suddenly heard the roar of heavy vehicle engines from outside the gate. Suddenly, this made Jacob and the others rush to the 3-metre-high fence wall to find out. "Shit, we can't climb up!" screamed Six angrily because he didn't have any supporting equipment. "Get up the tree!" commanded Jacob. Five readily did as his young master asked. The man was like a monkey as he quickly climbed up and crouched on one of the large branches. "Your words are true, Mr. Wyatt! There's a black truck carrying a metal cage. I'm sure that's the cell they used to keep the wolv
Jacob looked excited to see how the selection went. The men then separated themselves from the group. They looked for something that could be used as a bed. Jacob approached Ten, who observed 20 candidates with a name sticker stuck on their clothes. "Let me guess. Is this one of the tests to see how they adjust to the conditions, even with limited equipment, and makeshift quarters?" "Yes, you're right, Sir. We never know what the mission will be. Whether it's a reconnaissance, or a field assignment in the open. I want to see who the spoiled brats of the 20 are. Hopefully, they'll be mentally strong so that not many of them fail the first test," Ten replied, earning a smile from Jacob. Guests other than potential RedFox members are provided with room facilities. Although the house in Vertiland is very spacious, there are not many rooms available. The guests understood that, and were willing to sleep together with the people they had to protect. The servants were kept busy preparing
Before the selection began, Jacob invited everyone to breakfast. Of course, their presence in the dining room confused the guests. Ten gave out uniforms that were all black in color. Only Jacob, who, wore a different type of clothing from the candidates. "Are you going to practice boxing, Sir?" asked Nine, who joined for breakfast before going to the hospital for further examination. "Hem," Jacob replied calmly and enjoyed his breakfast. People whispered at Wyatt's dashing appearance, as he wore clothes that showed off his muscular arms and legs. However, since the selection was outdoors, Jacob layered his gym clothes with the uniform Ten had given him. The news that Jacob wanted to take part in the competition caused an instant uproar. "Can we stay longer? We want to see the competition," Jessica whined, eager to see Wyatt in action. Jacob could only nod his head in agreement. After breakfast, some guests were forced to go home beca
However, Jacob was not spared from the incoming attacks, as another participant hit a trap. “Oh!” Jacob was startled when he saw a blue plastic ball flying towards him. Jacob swiftly ducked to avoid the attack. The blue ball hit a man behind him. The man's clothes turned blue. “Shit! Shit! Shit!” he grumbled. Jacob smiled slightly and crawled towards the ball. Suddenly, his hand touched a rope covered in snow and leaves. Jacob held the rope carefully, to see where his attack would lead. However, a female participant quickly ran past Jacob with a smile. Jacob smiled back, but there was a cunning plan in his mind. “Ahhhh!” the woman shouted when suddenly drop balls fell from the left and right sides of a tree. The woman's steps came to an abrupt halt as her face was covered in green paint. Jacob smiled with satisfaction. He deliberately pulled hard on the rope to stop the woman from getting ahead of him. Jacob, who loved competition, quickly got up and passed the woman. “There it
