On the way, they drove all the way from the Xia state to the border and bypassed Thailand.
Crystal, Lord Albert and Douglas, the four of them sat in the same car. Along the way, Douglas and Toby drove alternately with Toby. It took them five or six days to finally arrive at Xinjiang.
They found a small hotel to stay.
Crystal held Lord Albert's arm and walked into the hotel.
"Grandpa, are you tired after driving all the way? Come on, have a seat. I'll get you a cup of tea."
Crystal helped Lord Albert sit on the sofa, got up and poured a glass of water for Lord Albert, handed it to him and sat on the sofa opposite.
Crystal looked around. The room was simply decorated and the environment was clean. The reason why she didn't go to the big hotel was that she was afraid of being found by Ryan.
Although Edgar had told her that Ryan had gone to the neighboring city with the fake followers, the truth was not absolute. She couldn't take it lightly.
On the other hand, Crystal thought it was better to keep a low profile.
Crystal withdrew her thoughts and looked at Lord Albert, "Grandfather, why did you bring us to Xinjiang?"
Lord Albert took a sip of water and put it down. "Ivy, do you know some legends about the Empire on the Internet?"
Crystal nodded and said, "It's said that the Empire is the most secret and richest country in the world. Some people also said that there is no the Empire in the world. The so-called the Empire is just a mirage and can't be trusted."
Lord Albert nodded and said with a meaningful smile, "Ivy, in fact, the spread on the Internet is not fake. The so-called the Empire is indeed the most secret and rich country in the world, and its location is in the Craig desert."
The more Crystal heard it, the more confused she became. "Is the Empire in the desert?"
Lord Albert nodded with a smile.
After a while, Lord Albert said to Crystal, "Well, Crystal, you are tired too. You can go back and have a rest. After tonight, we will all go t
ough what happened to Angela, Crystal suddenly thought of her and Edgar.
Leaning against the phone, Crystal turned over and lay on the bed, staring at the roof.
"Honey, if I walk in front of you, will you miss me?"
Crystal asked with emotion. She didn't expect that Edgar, who was on the other end of the phone, was stunned and then angry.
"Crystal, what are you talking about some nonsense? Let me tell you, it won't happen, never. I swear here, I, Edgar, won't let it happen. Crystal, listen carefully. If you really leave me, I won't miss you. I will marry another woman and have children with her. So if you don't want this to happen, just live well. I will wait for you to come back safe and sound."
Crystal lifted her foot and smiled sweetly.
"Edgar, if you dare to find another woman behind my back, I will torture you to death. Wait for me to go back safely. You can't find another woman."
Hearing what Crystal said, Edgar suddenly smiled and said, "Okay, honey, I'll wait for you."
Then, Edgar told Crystal something happened of Hilary in the school.
After hearing the successful performance of Hilary, Crystal smiled more happily and her mood was not so heavy.
But she swore to herself that she would not let Angela die for nothing. She would let the person who killed Angela get the deserved punishment.
