The Mozzafiato people had finally arrived.It was Ricard and Etham.Over the years, Justin had always felt that Ricard harbored a dislike for him, always treating him with a cold and distant attitude, occasionally throwing in sarcastic remarks. The one person Ricard truly listened to and revered was the King. Ricard was domineering and treated everyone with disdain, especially Justin.Why did Ricard reserve such special hostility for Justin? Lately, Justin had begun to understand.Ricard was filled with jealousy and resentment.Justin hadn't realized it at first, but now that he knew, it would become Ricard's weak point.As for Etham, he was someone who followed the King’s orders, likely tasked with monitoring and controlling Justin. Etham was like a pawn of the King, a spy. But Etham didn’t seem completely corrupted by evil. He could still be tricked by Justin, occasionally showing signs of helplessness and hesitation. Etham could still be saved.Ricard and Etham arrived with a large
Ricard looked at Justin, surprised by his calmness and determination. "So you agree to return?" Ricard asked, his voice still filled with doubt.Justin nodded, his eyes never leaving Ricard. "Yes, I will return. But make sure everything is ready and does not affect my health."Ricard breathed a sigh of relief, but remained serious. "We are prepared. A specialized plane is waiting and has full medical equipment and accompanying doctors."Etham, despite being scolded to his face, still worried about Justin. "Justin, are you sure? If you don't feel well, we can wait."Justin looked at Etham, smiling gently. "I'm fine, Etham. Thank you. Let's go back."As Ricard and Etham walked out of the room to arrange everything, Dr. Wyder approached Justin's bed, her eyes filled with worry and seriousness. "Justin, I know that you want to return to find out the truth, but be careful. Mozzafiato is not a safe place for you right now."Justin looked at Dr. Wyder, feeling sincere care and concern from he
**Chapter 129**Since the day he was brought back to Mozzafiato, Justin decided to stop taking the special supplement that the King had "specifically designed" for him. Although the supplement was advertised as enhancing his health, Justin always felt uneasy about it. He decided he had to find out the truth, and the only way to do that was to stop using the supplement without anyone knowing.During this time, Justin acted as if nothing was amiss. He participated in daily activities, appearing cheerful and healthy in front of everyone, including the King. He knew this wouldn't be easy, but he didn't want to raise any suspicion.One day, feeling confident enough about his health, Justin decided to ask Verney, the royal family's trusted physician, to examine him. Verney was the only person Justin felt he could trust to some extent, although he wasn't entirely certain."Verney, I want you to examine me," Justin said suddenly, catching Verney off guard. "I feel like I need a thorough check-
Etham took a deep breath, looked Justin straight in the eyes, and began to speak. "You are an excellent leader, Justin. Over the years, I have learned a lot from you. You always know how to handle situations calmly and decisively. You treat everyone fairly and never abandon anyone."Justin nodded, a slight smile playing on his lips. "So, your impression of me isn't too bad, huh? Since we've been working together, I've always seen you as a friend, a reliable teammate."Etham smiled too, but his smile was somewhat forced. "Yes, Justin. I really appreciate you. We've been through so much together, and I feel like we've become a family."Justin looked at Etham for a moment, then said, "We've been together for so long. I also consider you as family."At that moment, Etham's face turned pale, as if he was afraid of something. He looked down at the cup of tea in his hand, trying to hide the anxiety in his heart, but he couldn't escape Justin's sharp eyes.Justin laughed, making the atmosphere
Justin stayed in the hospital to recover and wait for an opportunity. Time passed slowly and heavily. He sensed a change in the atmosphere but couldn't pinpoint what was happening. Every day, Justin felt an underlying tension, as if something big and dangerous was waiting ahead.One day, Etham suddenly disappeared. Justin noticed the absence of his loyal subordinate right from the first morning when he didn't see Etham bringing breakfast as usual. The unease in Justin's heart grew, and he decided to ask around.On the first day, Justin called the nurse to his room. "Where's Etham? Why hasn't he brought my food?"The young nurse looked at him with a calm but slightly puzzled expression. "Sir Justin, Etham is busy with work at the government office. He'll be back soon."Justin didn't feel reassured but tried to stay calm. He decided to wait another day.On the second day, Etham still hadn't appeared. Justin's anxiety grew. "Where's Etham? Hasn't he returned yet?" he asked the nurse again
Justin weaved through the dark hallways, careful not to make any noise that might attract attention. He moved quickly and quietly, always carefully checking every turn and hallway to make sure no one was following.Finally, after a long search, a glimmer of light from an open room caught his attention. Justin stealthily moved closer, and he saw a laptop lying on the table. The room was deserted, and it was obvious that no one was there at the moment.Justin took a deep breath, then whispered to himself, "I'm sorry to have to do this, but I promise to return it soon." He quickly entered the room, picked up his laptop and left without making any noise. The laptop is heavy but essential for his plan. He knew he had to act quickly to avoid detection.Justin returned to his room before the power was restored. He hid the laptop under the bed, carefully shielding it so no one could see it. He leaned back on the bed, trying to breathe evenly and stay calm.Just a few minutes later, the female
In the quiet hospital room, the air was thick with Justin's tense thoughts. The dim light from the desk lamp was not enough to dispel the darkness and heavy thoughts in his head. The red dot on the computer screen still moved slowly, indicating Etham's location. Etham is still alive, but imprisoned somewhere underground. Justin must find a way to rescue him, but how to get to the underground secret room is a difficult problem.Justin knew there had to be an entrance, but finding out where it was and how to get in was another matter. He wondered if the entrance was under the city monument? If that's the case, it's certainly very heavily guarded. Justin needs a perfect plan, but every plan must consider safety and not being detected. He needed information and a way to reach out without being exposed.That night, Justin couldn't sleep. He rolled around in bed, his mind heavy with overwhelming thoughts. He outlined many options, from sneaking in at night to disguising himself as a security
Julie sat in the chair next to her father's hospital bed, her eyes sparkling with determination. "You didn't come here alone. Caesar, Monica, and even Leona came too but they were in the suburbs. Only you escaped here first."Justin looked at his daughter, a feeling of worry rising in his heart. He gently asked, "Did you leave any news for Caesar, Leona and Monica? If not, they will be very worried and go crazy looking for you."Julie smiled mischievously, "Of course I did. I knew they would be worried so I left a message."Justin sighed in relief but still couldn't help but worry. "Julie, this place is very dangerous. Please go home first. I don't want you to be in danger."Julie pouted, her eyes shining with determination. "No, I won't. I had a hard time getting here, so why should I just go back like that? I can be a messenger between both places, that will be safer for you."Justin shook his head firmly. "No. Don't you know that traveling between two places is dangerous? I can't l
