Chapter 1538 Entering The Hideout
Are they making the first move against us because they’re scared that the Seets would be in trouble?
When Saul noticed that Sally was scrutinizing Kyle, he had an idea. “Ms. Sally, Mr. Seet misses you so much that he can’t sleep. That’s why he came to visit you specially.”
Sally scoffed. “He wishes for us to die so badly that he can’t sleep, right?”
Kyle was speechless.
He glared at Saul and reprimanded, “Stop spouting nonsense!”
Saul glanced at Kyle.
At this juncture, is your pride or your life more important? Of course, it’s your life! As long as you can survive, it doesn’t matter if you have to say something nice.
“Ms. Sally, you’re mistaken. How can Mr. Seet possibly wish for your death? His greatest hope is that you’ll live happily forever.”
Sally turned her head and glanced at Saul.
“As long as the Seet family is alive, the Maupay family will never be happy. Fate decrees that only one of us will survive.”
“No! It’s not true that only one of us will survive. As long as we resolve the misunderstanding, we can coexist peacefully!”
“A misunderstanding?” Sally scoffed coldly. “Kyle, how can you tell me that it’s a misunderstanding at this moment? Don’t you find it hilarious?”
“I can prove it!”
Sally frowned. Judging from how serious Kyle looked, it did not seem like he was joking.
Did he discover something?
“How can you prove it?”
“I just need to see someone.”
“Who?”
“Your mother.”
Sally fell silent, for she knew her mother’s temper well. Her mother would barely be bothered to talk to her children, let alone a stranger.
How will things unfold if she met Kyle? Will she be triggered?
“Trust me!” promised Kyle firmly when he noticed that Sally did not say anything.
After a moment of silence, Sally glanced at the rest in the secret passageway. “Go back and rest. Don’t alert my father about this! I won’t spare anyone who dares to speak nonsense in front of him.”
“But Ms. Sally, they…”
“Do you have a problem with that?”
When Sally shot a stern glare at the person, he immediately stopped talking. “N-No…”
“Keep an eye on the rest, then. If anyone dares to say anything, I’ll hold you accountable!”
“Yes, Ms. Sally.”
Turning around, Sally looked at Kyle and Saul. “Follow me.”
With Sally leading the both of them, they walked forward for a while before stopping in front of a stone wall.
“Could this stone wall be a hidden door too?” Saul scrutinized it curiously.
Instead of answering him, Sally ordered them to turn around. When Saul noticed that Kyle had turned around cooperatively, he quickly did the same too.
However, he wished to see how Sally opened the stone wall. When he turned around to sneak a peek, he saw the door being pushed open slowly.
He was still too late—he did not manage to see what Sally did before pushing the door open.
“Alright, you can turn around now.”
Both of them turned around. Looking at the path in front, Kyle remembered what Juan had said earlier, “A safe house.”
“Your father, Steven, is very alert.”
“That’s because his opponent is Evan Seet, the ruthless reaper.”
Kyle was speechless.
“You’re mistaken. My father isn’t the one who’s ruthless.”
Sally turned around and glanced at him. Who else could it be other than your father? He’s the most ruthless of them all!
They walked for a long while before spotting a wooden door.
Kyle glanced behind. If he had not been discovered, and if Sally had not appeared, he and Saul would never have found this place.
“It must’ve taken a long time to construct such an enormous hideout underground, right?”
“It took ten years! My father secretly mobilized all of his resources and spent ten years constructing this underground hideout. Considering the problems that would arise if we live here for the long term, he made plans accordingly. It’s no different living here compared to living above ground. Furthermore, it’s well-concealed. Unless we’re willing to expose ourselves, no one can discover us.”
