The memories that enveloped Jeremiah made him feel increasingly resentful. "I did attend the banquet, but I don't know where Xav went. Are you still looking for him this late?" "Yes. Since you don't know where he is, I'll head back."

Maybe the past cast a certain light on Jeremiah, making Yvette see him through a filter, but she never thought of him as bad.

Jeremiah stepped forward before Yvette was about to get into her car. "I'll go with you to find him," he offered.

"It's alright. You should go back to rest." Yvette immediately refused. She already felt guilty about waking him up this late.

"No, I can't let you go looking for him alone this late. I wouldn't be at ease." Before Yvette could say anything else, Jeremiah had already sat in the driver's seat. "Let's go. I'll drive." Seeing this, Yvette couldn't refuse any further. She nodded and said, "Alright."

Jeremiah started the car and drove toward the city center. It had been a long time since the two of them had been alone together like this.

"Did he go missing during the banquet?"

"No, it was after the banquet."

Jeremiah took out his phone. "I'll have someone check the nearby surveillance footage."

"There's no need; I've already checked. But there's a section of the road that's a blind spot for the cameras. He disappeared in that area," Yvette explained.
