Chapter 1603 Meeting Faye
After breakfast, Nicole and Evan immediately set off to K Nation along with Faye.
Back then at that night, Faye had mercilessly threatened Steven and turned the tables at the right moment. Although Nicole had not witnessed it with her own two eyes, she had heard Juan’s detailed retelling of the tale.
Countless expressions crossed Juan’s face as he told Nicole what Faye had done, and that fascinating recount made Nicole curious about Faye.
When she saw Faye, she studied her from head to toe. Faye was about the same size as her, and they even shared a similar face shape. Faye also seemed like she was rather strong.
Perhaps that impression was a result of how Faye had been training in combat for many years.
“You’ve suffered in Steven’s hideout on my behalf. I should thank you for that.”
Faye never thought that beauty and status were not the only things Nicole had; the latter was also friendly and even willing to thank her. Hence, she froze in surprise when she heard Nicole’s words.
“Mrs. Seet, don’t say that. I didn’t suffer. I owe Mr. Seet a favor, and it’s only right for me to return the favor.”
A favor?
Nicole spun around to cast Evan a questioning look.
She had never heard of Evan talking about Faye owing him any favor. Back then, when they decided to have Faye take her place, he had told her that Faye was supposed to be her bodyguard.
“It was a trivial matter. You don’t need to always keep that in mind,” Evan remarked.
“To you, it was a trivial matter but it was something major to me. You were the one who saved my family from doom. To repay the favor I owe you, I, Faye Woodson, will do my best to protect Mrs. Seet.”
Faye was still filled with gratitude every time she thought about what happened back then.
It was then Nicole realized that Evan had saved Faye and her family in the past.
It seems like Evan Seet, the reaper, has been doing lots of good things. However, in what situation did Evan save Faye and her family? What kind of ill luck did Faye’s family encounter then?
Nicole wanted to ask for more details, but it seemed inappropriate for her to dig too deeply into someone’s past. After a moment of mulling about it, she decided to suppress her curiosity and drop the idea.
To her surprise, Faye began talking about it.
“Mr. Seet, do you know still remember what my grandfather said to you?”
Evan nodded.
“Do you remember how my grandfather had instructed me to keep the Redgold Dragon Coffer safe? Don’t worry. The one I’ve given to Steven that night was fake. The coffer is still with me.”
Faye then gave him a smile before continuing, “Mr. Seet, my grandfather even told me that the Redgold Dragon Coffer was sentient. It would look for the one it’s fated to be with. Whoever has it will be its owner. Therefore, it’s destined for that coffer to be yours. However, it’s not easy to open the coffer. My grandfather and father had studied it for most of their lives, but they still can’t open it. In fact, they even brought disaster upon themselves while doing so…”
At the thought of the disaster back then, the images of the bloodbath flashed in Faye’s mind, making her eyes redden.
She could still remember the large pool of bright red blood staining the soft white snow of that night.
That was the blood from her grandfather and father’s fight with their enemies.
The ones who had come had announced that they were going to annihilate her family.
She, her mother, and her grandmother were all hiding in the secret tunnel. Faye had to watch as the enemies hurt her grandfather as blood pour out of his chest. It stained his shirt, and it stained the snowy ground. Distracted by his worry about his father, Faye’s father then suffered a strike from the enemy on his arm.
There was nothing they could do but hold their breaths as their enemy stabbed their blade toward Faye’s grandfather’s heart at lightning speed.
At that very second, Evan and his bodyguards appeared and intervened in the fight. They saved Faye’s grandfather and father before engaging in the fight against the intruders.
If not for Evan, her family would have all ended up dead.
Hence, Evan was the savior of her family.
Once the enemy fled, Faye’s grandfather handed the coffer to Evan. One reason was to thank Evan for saving the family. The other was because he was afraid that the Redgold Dragon Coffer would lure disaster to their family again.
