Lord of the Mysteries

After seeing the marks on the paper, Pacheco turned his head and said to Barton, “What happens next will be quite complicated. I will seek the police’s help.

“And you can return to the foundation and wait for further questioning.”

Barton, who was staring at the paper, wasn’t disappointed. Instead, he felt relieved, and he hurriedly nodded.

“Alright.”

After reading the traces left behind by Vernal, Barton’s intuition told him that the matter was very dangerous.

As an ordinary person, avoiding danger was an instinctive choice.

Of course, this was also because Vernal could only be considered one of his ordinary friends. It wasn’t worth taking a huge risk and getting involved in this matter.

After answering, Barton turned around immediately and walked past the hotel owner and attendant and arrived at the street.

This time, he didn’t choose to take public transport and instead boarded a rental carriage.

Barton’s trip outside was considered as a special matter. It was rather urgent, and with the deputy director of the Compliance Department to testify for him, he could make a claim for the expenses incurred.

The difference between spending the foundation’s money and using one’s own salary was two completely different feelings.

On the way, Barton looked at the scenery outside the window and couldn’t help but think about Vernal’s current situation.

Is he still alive?

The room was filled with a strong stench of blood…

I hope he’s still alive. May the Lord bless him.

If he’s still alive, where will he be now?

Where…

Could it be?

There!

As his thoughts raced, Barton suddenly thought of a possibility. He quickly instructed the coach driver to change routes and head home.

Not long after, he returned home.

“What happened?” Barton’s wife approached him with a surprised look.

It was still quite some time before lunch, let alone getting off work.
