Inside, Alex thought, ‘Isn’t this because I’m creating an opportunity for Darven?’
Just at this moment, a shout came from outside. “Ahh! Not good, Darven has escaped!”
Alex’s heart thumped.
Anna was about to run out, but Alex grabbed her. “You haven’t fastened your belt yet.”
By the time she fastened her belt and gave chase, Darven was long gone. There weren’t many people left behind in the Divine Constabulary, and most of them lay unconscious on the ground. Those who were still conscious were as weak as a kitten.
‘He’s fairly capable!’ Alex was slightly surprised.
Darven was so old. He didn’t expect the older man to be this vigorous. It clearly displayed a strength of a Shaman that he couldn’t underestimate, and those who weren’t in that field would only meet their end if they met a Shaman.
“Where is he? Where has he gone?” Anna asked.
“He went in the direction of the mountain at the back,” one of them said.
Anna gave chase immediately and quickly reached the mountain at the back.

She suddenly stopped running, then looked back at Alex. “Enough, we’ll give chase up until here. The mountains there are steep, and if the older man sees me chasing him, I’m afraid that he might fall to his death.”
She wasn’t stupid. She could tell that Alex was the one who had let Darven go.
Alex touched his nose. “The mountains are indeed quite steep.”
“Did you manage to get your answers? Your father’s… Whereabout?” Anna said.
Alex looked into the distance. “The mystery around him just keeps getting harder to unravel.”
Beep beep…
Just then, Alex’s phone rang.
He pulled it out to look at the caller ID and found that it was Daya.
Anna also saw her name, and something flashed in her eyes. “I won’t be the third wheel between you and Daya’s lovey-dovey conversation,” she said. “I’ll go back first! Oh right, those people from the Divine Constabulary will be fine, right?”
“Yeah, just splash some water on them,” Alex said.
Anna waved, then turned around and left.
Alex swiped the screen and accepted the call.
“Daya!”
“Alex, do you have some time now? The Lush Scar Removal Cream commercial has been done. Do you want to come over and have a look?”
Alex smiled. “It’s a commercial that you featured in. Of course, it’ll be good. You can just send it over to my mom.”
Daya hesitated, then said, “Well, my mom has come to California, and she said… She wanted to treat you to a meal. The big favor that you did in helping out my family last time, we still haven’t properly thanked you yet.”
