Chapter 1576

"When are you available?" asked Ivan.

"Let's do it tomorrow morning!”

After he set the appointment, Corentin went to look for Ashlynn.

Anne was around, so he bought two servings.

"Thank you, Uncle.”

"You should thank Ash. If I didn't buy it for her, you won't be able to enjoy this either.” Corentin smiled.

"Yes. Thank you very much." Anne smiled.

Ashlynn could not help but glare at Corentin. "You said it like there's none for Anne. You're her uncle, aren't you supposed to buy for her? If you didn't buy her any, I won't have a bite of it as well.” Corentin sat down, and said with a smile, "Are both of you on the same side now?”

It was unclear if he was simply making a casual remark, but it sounded as if it had a double meaning to their ears.

In any case, both Anne and Ashlynn did not show any reaction on their faces.

They just took it as a normal conversation.

After Corentin called Ivan to make an appointment with him, Ivan called Anne to tell her about it. Therefore, It was only natural for Anne to pay close attention to Corentin's behavior at home.

The following day, Corentin went to the place where Ivan had hidden the person

It was an apartment building behind a rather busy street.

When they opened the door, the man sitting on the couch immediately got up and looked at the people entering with a vigilant gaze. His arms were chained up, which was to prevent him from running away.

Ivan came quite often, so he was not scared of him. It was mainly because there was another person-Corentin.

Because of the additional person, the man kept moving to the side to hide.

He looked timid as if he was afraid to be harmed by others.

"It's fine. He is my friend. He said he wants to come and visit you. He wanted to see if he could get rid of the toxins in your body," said Ivan.

Corentin took a few steps forward. His tall figure made the man feel pressured as if he had ill intentions.

If the man did not have chains on his hands, he certainly would have retreated.

Ivan noticed that the man was unexpectedly very calm when he saw Corentin.

Corentin even deliberately asked, "Are you afraid of me?"

The man glanced at Ivan. It seemed like he did not understand what Corentin was saying. Corentin asked, "Who made you like that? Can you tell me? Whatever you can remember, no matter how minor, will be helpful to us.”

The man panicked. "Many people..many people..."

Corentin asked calmly, "What many people?"

The man squatted down in fear and did his best to hug his shaking head. "I want to go home...I want to go home..."

Ivan said, "After he regained a little bit of his consciousness, he would only utter “many people’ and nothing else. I'm thinking if “many people’ meant that there were many people like him."

Corentin asked, "What did Anthony say?"

"Mr. Marwood has no clue either at this moment. The only hope is to gain more information while giving the infected person his treatment.”

He has already met the person, and he did not get any other information as well, so Corentin and Ivan left the apartment.

Ivan saw Corentin left in his car.

On the night after Corentin met the infected person, a fire started without any reason at the apartment building behind the streets.

The apartment where the infected person was staying was right in the heart of the fire.

When Ivan rushed over, the infected person was already burnt to a crisp.

Ivan's expression looked very terrible as he looked at the man whose body was as black as coal. Could it be that his judgment was wrong? Would Corentin be so bold to do it so openly?

Because once something has happened, Corentin would be the most suspicious!

Anne ran out of the room. She asked the maid and was told that Corentin was at the study.

She then ran toward the study and rushed in without even having the time to knock. "Did you kill the infected person?"

"No." Corentin denied.

"But not long after you left, the apartment building where the infected person was hiding was burnt and he died. Uncle, this can't be a coincidence, can it?" Anne hid her fury within herself.

The infected person was not the only one who died. There were other innocent people as well!
