Unveiled: The Survivor's Triumph

Chapter 118 Don't Be Afraid, I'm Right Behind You

Three cars zoomed through the night, engines roaring.

The wide asphalt road, with bare branches on both sides, blurred past us. Back when I was a kid, Starlight City was just a sleepy little town. But in the last decade, it blew up. The Starlight City now? Totally unrecognizable.

I've always been a bit of a hermit, especially after my parents' accident. Didn't have the time or energy to go out much. So, even though I'm from Starlight City, I barely know the place now. But this stretch of road? It felt weirdly familiar. If I'd walked this road before, it must've been ages ago.

After another twenty minutes of driving, we finally pulled over. As soon as I stepped out, a big neon sign caught my eye: Silent Grove Village.

Silent Grove Village was this swanky resort that popped up a few years back. Never been, but I've heard the buzz.

The gatekeeper spotted us from a distance, swung the gate open, and called out, "Mr. Windsor."

Ethan nodded and strolled in without breaking stride.

I was scratching my head. Was Silent Grove Village another one of Skyline International Corporation's properties? We walked in without a hitch.

The name Silent Grove Village probably comes from its tucked-away spot in the thick forest, making it super quiet. I wasn't here to sightsee; I just wanted to find Faye ASAP.

After climbing some stone steps and walking through a corridor, a guy came up to us from the other end.

"Mr. Windsor."

"Where is she?"

Ethan's face was calm, but you could hear the urgency in his voice.

"Follow me."

He quickly led the way, saying, "I compared the missing person notice you sent. I think the girl should be the one you're looking for."

From his words, it sounded like Faye was safe, and I felt a bit of relief.

Next to the corridor was a row of wooden houses, and I could hear the clatter of mahjong tiles. Must be the game room.

After climbing another set of stone steps and passing through an archway, the guy led us into a room in the courtyard and was totally floored.

"Where is she? She was just here. I even brought her some food. How could she be gone now?"

He looked like he was about to panic, his neck turning red with anxiety.

The room was decked out in Baroque style. There was food on the big round table, untouched.

The guy suddenly gasped and pointed at a nearby wine rack.

"Where'd those two bottles of wine go?"

Ethan squinted at the untouched food on the table and said just two word.

"Find her."
