Chapter 1082: What’s your next step?
Amanda and Estelle were in a state of shock to learn that the man they thought was dead was alive. They couldn’t believe that he had been hiding from them all this time, starting a family, and that he had a daughter named Ina.
Inessa’s phrase that Adrian died on the day of the disaster three years ago finally finished them off emotionally.
“Is he alive or dead?” asked Amanda after a long silence.
“Everything points to the fact that he really died,” Idan replied sharply instead of Inessa. And then he added, “Although, given what he’s done, I can’t rule out the possibility that he’s still alive.”
All the women stared at him, their faces expressing different emotions. But he caught one thing in mon with all of them — hope.
“Do they really all want to hope that he’s alive?” — Idan thought ironically. Even in Ivette’s eyes, he saw that hope.
“Even you?” he asked himself.
And it couldn’t help but annoy Idan.
“How can these women still be so attached to him after all he’s done?”
“Amanda,” — Idan called, pushing aside all strange thoughts.
“You said earlier that few people could tell the difference between brothers by their looks alone.”
“So tell me, who could tell them apart? And is this man alive now?”
Amanda thought about it, and a name immediately popped into her head.:
“Eleanor.”
“The mother of Adrian and Damian,” she added. “If anyone can tell them apart at a glance, it’s her.”
“As for whether she’s alive, yes, she lives in a separate estate with a large garden next to the main residence of the Blake family.”
“Hmm… and one last question,” Idan said. “Was this woman at Adrian’s funeral and did she see her son’s body, as well as Damian himself?”
Amanda, slightly puzzled, quickly replied, “Yes, she attended the ceremony and personally confirmed that the body belongs to Adrian.”
“Okay,” Idan stood up from his seat. He learned everything he wanted to know, and now he has a new goal — to meet with his “grandmother” and talk to her.
For some reason, this whole situation seemed strange to Idan, and he thought that perhaps it was his “grandmother” who could shed light on the truth.
“Until I figure everything out, stay here and make yourself at home. As soon as I resolve all the issues, I will immediately bring you back,” Idan addressed Amanda and Estelle, and then, turning to his mothers, he added: “Please look after them.”
“Okay, we’ll take care of them,” Inessa and Ivette replied readily.
Arabel and Irene left the women, got up, and left the house with Idan.
They went out onto the terrace, where they sat down in armchairs and spent some time in silence.
Irene spoke first, “What’s your next step?”
“After I finish the business with the Flaming Crane clan, I’ll probably visit this Eleanor,” Idan replied.
“So you decided to visit the Blake family after all?” asked Arabel. “How are you going to do it: openly or secretly?”
“I don’t want to get involved with the Blake family, so I’ll visit Eleanor secretly.”
If it hadn’t been for his desire to find out the truth, Idan would never have gone there.
“How are things with Arslan and the others?” asked Idan, changing the subject.
“They’re still exploring the dungeon and preparing to challenge the Breakthrough Hall at the same time,” Irene replied.
As someone who had already reached the Platinum Rank, there was no need for her to participate in the trials of the “Breakthrough Hall”. According to her own system, she won’t get much benefit from it.
“And you, sister-in-law, how are you?”
Irene, like most of the couple’s loved ones, was aware of Arabel’s plans to use the time room to speed up the birth of her child.
“It’s a little boring, but I’ve found a temporary hobby,” Arabel replied, piquing the interest of her husband and Irene.
“I decided to study alchemy and see if I have a talent for it,” she said without further ado.
“We also received an alchemy cauldron and the resources to create three pills — pills of beauty, longevity and youth as a wedding gift,” Arabel reminded her husband.
“Oh, I almost forgot about it and even thought that you gave them to the Master,” Idan said.
“I only gave the cauldron to the Master, and only you and I can use the resources and recipe,” Arabel replied.
The recipe she received was a simplified version, so they could only create these three pills using the functions of “Alchemy”.
However, Arabel, as in the case of cooking, sought to create something without the help of a system. So she started learning the basics of alchemy.
“I thought that since we’re opening our auction house soon, these three pills would make a great first lot,” Arabel said with a smile.
“Indeed,” Irene agreed. “What kind of woman would turn down the opportunity to get all three pills? They are especially useful for mortals, so Awakened Ones who have old relatives will definitely want to purchase them.”
Idan suddenly laughed, attracting the attention of his wife and sister.
“I remembered how angry you were when the System took away your beauty pill.”
Arabel blushed deeply as she recalled that moment. Irene, who was watching her, couldn’t help but smile.
“Considering that no one has found a way to get into the Nexus yet, you can take your time,” Idan advised and suggested, “I have a feeling that access to the Nexus is hidden precisely behind the Dungeon Simulator and the Dungeon Shop.”
Arabel and Irene agreed with his suggestion.
Thus, they still had a lot of time to prepare.
At that time, Geminia was engaged in the construction of an auction house, leading her descendants. She took her time and wanted the building to be unique and unrepeatable.
Everyone was busy with their own business.
Most of the Awakened Ones were in the Dungeon.
Those with only a Regular System sought to increase its rarity, while those with a Rare System wanted to reach the Platinum rank.
They had about 1-2 months to do everything about everything.
After that, just like last time, after each Disaster, all the Awakened Ones will be teleported to Junonia by their own Systems and given a special task. Only after pleting this task will the Awakened One have a chance to return back.
I would like to express my gratitude to those who give gifts, power stones and golden tickets. Your support allows me to stay motivated and continue working on the book.
