Chapter 654: Understanding the Past of Five Poisons

Angela handed a piece of paper to the white-haired old man, "What about Josh... the man who was extremely obsessed with plants?"

The old man steadied himself, "Since then, he has rarely come to see me. He hasn't been as cheerful as before, and his death took a heavy toll on him. Later, he chose to stay at the school and even got a very pretty girlfriend. With her help, he gradually recovered. He went back to his country a while ago and even visited me before leaving, to thank me for my care." "Then, no more news."

Later, he was imprisoned, tormented daily, never to be released!

Angela's gaze hardened as she asked, "Over the years, every time you missed him, did you visit the monument?"

The old man nodded and then shook his head, "Not really. Since his death, I've moved into his dorm room. I've kept all his belongings, thinking I could take them back to his parents, but some things couldn't be moved, so I left them untouched."

Angela's eyes lit up, "Could you take me to see it?"

It seemed the old man hadn't spoken of such memories in a long time, and he agreed readily, "Sure, let's go."

The dorm was a two-bedroom apartment with the old man living in the right room. The left room, facing the sun, belonged to Five Poisons.

Angela pushed the door open and entered; the room was tidy, everything arranged in a style from many years ago.

It was clear the old man held this place dear.

"May I stay alone for a while?"

Angela asked.

The old man nodded, "Of course, but may I ask, who was he to you?"

Angela pursed her lips, "He was, in a way, my father."

The old man paused, "I felt there was something of him about you; I didn't guess wrong. Child, take your time to remember your father."

Angela thanked him and then closed the door.
