Chapter 391
The castle-like mansion was ma*sive and empty, so empty that one could hear his footsteps echoing against the walls.
It was late at night. There were a few ancient wall lamps lit up, barely lighting up the darkness.
A piano sound broke the silence, filling the mansion. It was the famous song “The Dream Wedding”.
Listening to the song in an eerie castle in the middle of the night was scary. It would’ve been a relaxing song if it was played in any other venues.
Accompanied by the song, Chris ascended the stairs.
He found it odd to meet up with the mysterious leader of Toxic Hive this way.
Ethan, who was forced to stay in the yard, hid under the roof. He knew where the nearby
surveillance cameras were.
Hacking a surveillance camera was easy for him. It took him a few minutes to dysfunction
them.
The only scene that was shown on the surveillance footage should be the original scene.
Ethan, who had observed the castle’s structure, sneaked into the first floor through a pipeline.
Like a nimble black panther, he moved his way through the darkness with ease.
He heard the piano sound coming from the roof. The only daring person to play piano at this moment was Ms. Rosa, who had never revealed her face before.
Most of Toxic Hive’s laboratories were built underground, so Ethan sneaked into the
underground.
As he had expected, the underground of the mansion was spacious. The width was at least one thousand square meters, and it consisted of several floors.
Hearing footsteps, he hurriedly hid in the corner near the stairs.
Thanks to the dim light, he could see a man and a woman leaving with hurried steps.
He heard the woman saying, “Why is Mr. Y here at this hour? Madam told us not to disturb her. Begonia and Leo are testing the medicines. I’m afraid he wouldn’t be satisfied with only us serving him.”
“There’s nothing else we can do. Just bite the bullet and escort him to the backyard so we won’t get in Madam’s way.”

She sighed and grumbled while picking up her pace.
Ethan frowned while wondering who Mr. Y was.
He thought, “Fortunately, Leo is here. And Begonia? Could it be her?”
His heart raced. Could Begonia be the person whom he had been looking for over ten years? Whose death was the reason for his dreading sorrow?
He swung between happiness and sadness when he found out that Leia wasn’t dead.
The further Ethan walked down the stairs, the lower the temperature dipped and the darker it
became.
He supposed that this place was just a temporary hideout because they didn’t install an alarm
system. That was why he could sneak into the place successfully.
There were several rooms on every floor. The upper floors were accommodation, while the
lower floors were laboratories.
When Ethan walked to the end of the hallway, there were two rooms.
He knew that it was highly possible that the person he was looking for was in there.
He wasn’t planning to alarm Leo and Begonia. Both of them were highly vigilant.
He waited in the darkness for a while when one of the doors opened.
A fox-masked woman appeared.
Her physique was similar to the woman he saw that day. It should be her!
She ascended the stairs hurriedly.
Considering that Chris was still upstairs, Ethan didn’t dare to take action. Otherwise, both of them might not be able to get out of here alive.
Secretly, Ethan entered the laboratory.
He could tell that they’d recently moved in at a last-minute notice. The simple laboratory
wasn’t completely equipped.
There were some bottles, jars, and reports placed on the table. Elated with his findings, he quickly made a copy of the reports.
While he was copying them, he noticed a bottle of medicine.
It was labeled as “M-1”.
It seems Ethan only ever married Olivia to take revenge for what happened to his little sister. While Olivia is plagued by her sickness, he holds her chin and says coldly, “This is what your family owes me.” Now, she has no family and no future.
Her father becomes comatose after a car accident, leaving her with nothing to live for. Thus, she hurls herself from a building. “The life my family owes will now be repaid.” At this, Ethan, who’s usually calm, panics while begging for Olivia to come back as if he’s in a state of frenzy …
