[Investigation of Hamilton Family Major Assault Case Finds No End. Paused Due to Disappearance of Evidence]

The titles of five newspapers became something that Aland paid attention to. It was the umpteenth time that Aland had read the five newspapers, but his heart still felt pain every time he reread the headlines.

It's been ten years since the incident of his family's big attack. Aland Balvert Hamilton, secretly collected all the newspapers that reported about the incident of the Hamilton family's major attack.

But from all the news, no one said that the investigation ended well. Moreover, the last news on the investigation into the attack on the Hamilton family was in the 2018 edition of the newspaper.

Newspaper printed five years ago.

After that, no newspapers reported about the attack on the Hamilton family again. It was as if the incident had disappeared from the memories of the townspeople in just an instant.

Alan sighed. "I've bought the 2019 and 2020 editions of the newspapers. But there's no news about my family's attack anymore."

Is everyone so quick to forget?

Annoyed, Alan turned over the cover page of the newspaper. He closed the newspaper with a bit of force, then let out a rough breath.

It says on the cover of the newspaper: 2022 Edition.

Last year.

After three years he decided to stop looking for the newspaper that published the news about the attack on the Hamilton family, this year Aland tried to buy a new edition of the newspaper. Unfortunately, there is still no news about the incident, or how the investigation is progressing.

Aland clenched his fists, trying his best to control the anger that suddenly rose up.

"Shit. I've been holding on for years, but there's no information I can get hold of. How am I supposed to find out about that incident?" muttered Aland, feeling very frustrated.

Aland knew that someone would control the media. Too bad, Aland didn't know who would do that, apart from the Daneltha Family. But Alan wasn't sure.

There is someone more powerful, who doesn't want to show his presence in the slightest, controlling everything.

"ALAND! ALAND! HEY, YOU SLOW! ARE YOU SLEEPING IN THEIR?!"

Alan's attention immediately shifted to the sound of knocking on the wooden door. Because the walls of the room where he slept were made of wood, there were gaps for sunlight to reflect the silhouette of a person outside.

There's no question. Aland knew who was standing outside his room now. Who else but Madam Ellene?

She had been happy to annoy him since the first year she was in this house. Aland's life becomes a nightmare because Madam Ellene doesn't give him the chance to live a decent life.

"HEY YOU STAY IN THIS HOME IS NOT FREE! WHY ARE YOU LAZING?!"

Alan groaned a little as he rolled his eyes lazily. The call always sounded at seven in the morning, and he felt irritated after hearing it.

If someone else was in Aland's position, then Aland was sure that no one would survive.

"ALAND! DO YOU LISTEN TO ME?! IF YOU'RE STILL SLEEPING, I WILL LET YOU BACK TO BEING A bum ON THE STREET!"

Reluctantly, Aland tidied up a pile of newspapers. Also, put the papers he used to record the chronology and some evidence into a special folder.

Even so, he had not yet had time to finish his work. But because Madam Ellene, his cruel adoptive mother, couldn't wait to torture him again. 

"ALAND!"

Annoyed, Aland finally replied, "YES, MADAM! I WAS WOKE UP!"

"YOU YOU ARE LAZY! WHO CALLED YOU RELAX?!"

In between tidying up his things, Aland glanced sharply at the door. Even though his heart didn't like being treated this way, it was a shame that Aland had to hold back.

Aland still has to complete his plan to find out who is behind the big attack on the Hamilton Family.

"I WILL GO OUT!" Aland called out so that there was no sound of Madam Ellene's yelling.

Luckily, Madam Ellene stopped knocking on the door and screaming. Shortly after tidying things up, Aland stepped towards the clothes hanger before picking up the bodyguard suit.

"QUICK GET READY!"

Alan didn't answer anything. He, in front of a dull mirror that shows the whole body, wears that bodyguard suit.

After finishing, Aland hurriedly rushed out of the place he thought was a hut. There was no Madam Ellene at the door. Seems to have left after shouting out the last command.

Through the grass because the hut-shaped residence was in the backyard of Madam Ellene's family mansion. It was about two hundred meters to the main entrance of the mansion, on the west side of the main building.

Aland didn't forget that today there was an anniversary party for Madam Elllene and Sir Leonard.

"Aland, hey!" A call from the right side was heard.

When Aland turned his head, he saw Gionard, a fellow bodyguard, approaching him. Aland stopped walking and waited for Gionard to approach.

"Gio, are you up late?" he asked.

Gionard arrived beside Aland, they walked hand in hand. His head nodded.

"Yes, I received a warning from Madam Ellene earlier. The door where I live was suddenly knocked loudly."

Alan smiled crookedly. It wasn't the first time Madam Ellene had done that. Madam Ellene's behavior towards the other bodyguards and herself was completely no different.

"He never treated other people well," said Aland.

"You... I heard Madam Ellene's scream, was it while rebuking you?" asked Gionard.

In this mansion, there is a special area for bodyguards who are considered the lowest. Each bodyguard gets one hut-like dwelling, and the distance between the huts is five meters.

So, it was only natural that Gionard would hear Madam Ellene's screams because her hut was beside Aland's hut.

"Yes, he was reprimanding me. I don't know why he asked to get ready now. Even though the party was still four hours away."

Hearing that, Gionard grimaced. "There may be other preparations. You, don't feel bad for Madam Ellene bringing up the tramp to you."

To be honest, Alan didn't feel offended at all. After all, he deliberately concealed his identity as a 'homeless' person.

"Why be offended when what is said is fact?" Aland grinned at Gionard.

Aland's not being too serious has become commonplace for Gionard. So, Gionard just sighed softly, feeling sorry even though he didn't have to feel sorry for Aland.

When they reached the asphalt road that turned towards the south entrance of the mansion, Alan noticed Madam Ellene's presence. Madam Ellene is seen talking to two bodyguards.

Madam Ellene noticed the arrival of Aland and Gionard. Madam Ellene turned around, placing her hands on her waist with an angry expression on her face.

'Here we go again,' Aland thought.

"Aland! That lazy and selfless kid really pisses me off!"

Aland was used to Madam Ellene's cursing. In the eyes of the woman, Aland was just a piece of trash that was not treated properly.
