Outside the Lancaster mansion, a modest car stood waiting with the driver by its side.

Alfred had chosen this low-profile setup, understanding it would help Alex stay unnoticed.

As soon as the driver saw Alex approach, he quickly moved toward him.

"Sir Alex, I'm Morris, the driver sent by Mr. Alfred," he said politely, bowing as he opened the car door for Alex to

enter.

Inside the car, Morris handed Alex an electronic pad.

"This one," Alex said suddenly, handing back the pad without hesitation.

Morris was stunned by the speed. How could Alex sift through 576 profiles and choose someone so quickly?

His eyes glanced at the pad's screen, seeing an old photo from an orphanage. A tomboyish girl stood there, smiling with other children.

The name beneath the picture read 'Josephine'.
