Chapter 291 - Ch. 291 What Is His Mother's Secret?

As soon as Declan got out of the airport, Kris and Aubrey walked up to him and greeted him with regretful faces.

"Did you find her?"

Both Kris and Aubrey couldn't answer his question and could only shake their heads.

Declan didn't want to waste time and walked straight to his car while the two people he trusted followed him, explaining what they had done.

"I've activated Eagle Eye around where the Miss jumped from, but… we couldn't find any sign of lady's life apart from her vehicle and belongings."

"Speed ​​up the launch of the God Eye satellite. That's the only way to find her."

"But the functional percentage and launch orbit is still not perfect. The scientists are still researching…."

"Then look for other alternatives. I can't believe I couldn't find her."

"How about we borrow a military satellite first? We can connect it to our God Eye system and find Miss Zouch." Aubrey suggested this because she knew there was no other way to find her master's fiancé.

"But isn't that very risky? If the government finds out, they will try to seize our GE and EE." Kris was worried that if the government found out that the OS had a system procedure that could see the entire world under one control, they would pressure Declan and seize what they had been creating all these years.

"Darrel Alvianc won't divulge it."

Declan's footsteps stopped hearing him and turned to look at Aubrey in surprise. "Darrell Alvianc? When you said, we were going to borrow a government satellite…."

"It belongs to the Alvianc group." was her short answer, getting a nod once from her master.

"Do it as you said."

By the time Declan got into the car, Kris had got into the driver's seat while Aubrey got into another vehicle because she had other things to do.

During the trip, Declan did not speak and only read the same document he had read on the plane.

The silence that gripped Kris made Kris feel even more guilty. Usually, the master was silent on the way, but not this scary.

The more calm and silent his master looked, Kris knew the more anger the man harbored.

Declan read the contents of the USB file from top to bottom, then scrolled up again, then down again, and so on.

He hoped that he had misread and that his father was just tricking him, but Declan was sure his father had not lied to him.

Are the contents of this file fake? If indeed what he is seeing right now is the real thing, doesn't his father know that his first love has lived in New York since nine years ago?

Declan closed his eyes, trying to dig up memories he hadn't thought about in a long time.

That night when he was four and knew nothing about his father's affair, his mother came to his room in the middle of the night.

"Deck, I can't stand it anymore."

Little Declan was already asleep, but he woke up feeling a soft caress on the top of his head.

"I don't want to live here anymore. I want to go, but I can't bear to leave you here alone. Do you want to come with me?" a soft whisper but sounded very depressing as if the woman had just had her heartbroken, making little Declan not know what to do.

In the end, he decided to continue pretending to be asleep and listen to every word his mother wanted to say.

"You better come with me. How about we stay in New York?"

Little Declan didn't make a sound and kept his eyes closed as if he had fallen asleep. Without realizing it, the soft caress on the top of his head made him fall back asleep.

The following day, Declan didn't remember his mother's arrival in the middle of the night, and he thought it was just a dream. He couldn't believe that his mother was suffering living in this house where a husband loved her and a small child who adored her very much.

That's why little Declan just thought it was a dream and forgot about it.

However, who would have thought the mother actually took him away from his father's house a few days later. And they went to New York per his mother's whisper.

Declan was still adapting to his new environment and trying to understand why his mother took him away from his father. He couldn't comprehend why they had to move from place to place. Until finally, his mother left him in the Grace Orphanage.

As time went on, Declan understood the reason why they couldn't stay in the same place. His mother did not bring a penny when he left his father.

They could only live in a particular house for the homeless and sometimes slept on the streets when they didn't have a queue for the home.

Maybe his mother left him in the orphanage because she couldn't bear the burden anymore or because she didn't want to see him sleeping on the streets again. Declan didn't know the reason either.

But now… after interacting and getting to know his father a little, coupled with the identity of Dario's first love, he couldn't help but think, is it possible… his mother doesn't want to live in the same place because they're being chased?

Who is chasing them? His father or… Dario's first love's family?

Declan reached for his phone, and after finding a name, he called the person.

"It's me. I just sent you a name. I want you to investigate her past as well as… her daughter's name."

Kris didn't know who Declan was contacting, but judging by the way the man gave the mission, it must be the person with the codename Hawk he was calling.

But why does his master want to investigate a woman's past and want to know her daughter's name?

Was the man not worried about his wife at all? Roxanne Zouch has been missing for over twenty hours, for God's sake.

Neither the girl's father nor the girl's fiancé… are those two not worried about Roxy at all??

"Um, master. Can I ask you something?"

"..." Declan didn't respond and just read the contents of the same file over and over even though he listened to what his right-hand man wanted to ask. "Aren't you worried about Miss Zouch?"

The movement of the hand scrolling up and down stopped hearing this question.

Did he seem unconcerned about the girl?

It looks like he did. Declan couldn't blame his subordinate.

The truth is... he was worried... but was overwhelmed by this sudden fury that he had never felt before.

"She's alive."

"…" what the heck?

Declan had the feeling he knew who kidnapped her.. And even though that person failed to kidnap her, it only means… the Frontier Shadow managed to save her.
