Chapter 423: 375: Alvin Phantom
Kevin Clark settled Daisy Zane in and went to meet Adrian Roberts and the others.
They reported all the goods they had gathered, including those from Gael Easton.
Then, they talked about everything that had happened along the way in great detail.
Of course, they omitted the part where Black Fox handed her a cigarette and Daisy Zane smoked.
Allonzo Hobson wasn’t surprised anymore, Daisy’s layers of identity no longer shook him: “Brook Sister… even knows Black Fox.”
Kevin Clark was also calm: “Black Fox dares to be so fearless; there must be someone behind him.”
“Do you mean… Brook Sister is behind him?”
Kevin Clark didn’t say anything more.
“Third Master… the wife you’ve married.” Allonzo Hobson laughed, “This is expanding your power.”
Kevin Clark’s mouth curled up slightly.
Adrian Roberts and the others caught on, but they only knew the tip of the iceberg.
This Lady Zane… there was more to her.
Seeing that there was nothing else to discuss, Adrian Roberts and the others left.
Only Kevin Clark and Allonzo Hobson remained in the room.
After a while, Allonzo Hobson said, “Arthur, who do you think Brook Sister is aligned with? She can get the arrest warrants from the Mountain Sea Continent and use people under Alvin Phantom, knows Logan, and can even stay at the Hundred Demons Pavilion on M Continent.”
All these clues were pointing to one place.
Hundred Demons Pavilion.
Since Allonzo had asked this way, he must have thought about it too.
“So, who is Brook Sister?”
Kevin Clark still didn’t say anything.
“Luke has always been on the Mountain Sea Continent, and we have seen Logan. Although we haven’t seen Samuel’s ghost’s face, we know he’s a man,” analyzed Allonzo Hobson. “That leaves Alvin Phantom, Roy Ryder, and Damian Brown. Roy and Damian are women. Alvin… only heard the name, never seen.”
“Alvin Phantom’s probability is relatively high,” said Kevin Clark.
“Indeed,” Allonzo Hobson agreed, “Ghost King Pavilion Master has such good fortune.”
Kevin Clark remained silent, cursing that the Ghost King Pavilion Master was old and ugly in his heart.
Only then will the little girl focus only on him.
“Fortunately, we don’t have any conflicts with the Hundred Demons Pavilion,” said Allonzo Hobson. “Otherwise, it would be hard to explain.”
Kevin Clark kept cursing in his heart, not paying attention to Allonzo Hobson’s words.
In the room, Daisy Zane finished her bath, drying her hair while looking at the group chat messages on her cell phone.
Luke: [I heard… Gael Easton’s goods were intercepted at the border. It’s rumored that Dark Radiance intercepted them, and that Big Boss helped Dark Radiance.]
Afterward, the chat was filled with question marks.
Daisy Zane really wanted to know how Luke found out.
She did meet Logan the night before, but she didn’t tell him why she appeared in the M Continent.
Where was the leak?
Black Fox…
But looking at the
full screen of question marks, it seemed Black Fox didn’t mention her marrying into Dark Radiance.
Everyone knew she married Kevin Clark, but they didn’t know the relationship between Kevin Clark and Dark Radiance.
As for Black Fox… he only knew Dark Radiance, not Kevin Clark.
They had scattered information that was put together but not completely combined.
Logan: [Big Boss, have you been away from home for too long? Did you enter the wrong house?]
Damian: [How is it that Dark Radiance deserves the help of our Hundred Demons Pavilion Master?]
Logan: [Big Boss kept telling me not to touch Gael Easton, but she ended up doing it herself.]
Samuel: [Can you compare yourself to my sister?]—-
Logan: [Big Boss, Big Boss, Big Boss. Are you there? Are you there? Are you there? I also want the goods from Gael Easton. Are Gael Easton’s goods fragrant?]
Logan: [Dang, I probably won’t sleep tonight. Gael Easton’s goods should be really fat, right? White and shiny money.]
Logan: [Big Boss, are you sure you didn’t get lost with the goods? Why don’t you let my brother pick you up?]
Luke: [I’m always ready to take someone to Dark Radiance to pick up Big Boss.]
Logan: [I want Gael Easton’s goods too, I want Gael Easton’s goods too, I want Gael Easton’s goods…]
Daisy Zane ignored them, turned off her cell phone, and lay down on the bed.
When Kevin Clark returned, what he saw was Daisy Zane lying on the bed with wet hair, holding a stack of papers in her hand.
He went to the restroom and got a hairdryer, then sat down next to her and touched her hair: “You didn’t dry your hair.”
Daisy Zane looked at the things in her hand without raising her head and said softly, “I was waiting for you.”
Kevin Clark smiled and plugged in the hairdryer to dry her hair for her.
His fingers ran through her hair, and she quietly waited.
Lowering his gaze, he suddenly saw the obedient side of her through the cold sharpness emanating from her body.
Like a little child, waiting quietly for him to dry her hair.
After drying her hair, he leaned down and kissed the top of her head, then put the hairdryer on the bedside table.
Only then did she raise her head and look at him, “Is this…yours?”
Kevin Clark looked at the things she was holding.
It was a printed thesis. A thesis about pharmaceutical formulation.
Strictly speaking, it wasn’t his,
It was a thesis that the dean of the Pharmaceutical Formulation Institute had asked him for help with a few years ago.
For convenience, he printed it out. He printed two copies – one of which he had edited and taken back to the Imperial Capital for the dean. The other unedited copy was left here.
He didn’t come to this place more than once a year, so the thesis was left there, untouched by anyone.
“I helped someone read it.” Kevin Clark said.
Daisy Zane’s eyes held a hint of curiosity: “What did you study in college?”
“Pharmaceutical formulation.” Kevin Clark touched her face and added, “and a minor in philosophy.”
Daisy Zane hadn’t expected the pharmaceutical formulation part.
If she hadn’t seen the thesis out of the blue tonight, she wouldn’t have thought in that direction.
“Double major.”
“Yeah.”
“I’ve always thought you studied something programming-related.” Daisy Zane said, “So…are you working in pharmaceutical formulation?”
“Sort of.”
Daisy Zane didn’t ask further.
Being able to help someone with their thesis, which was deeply researched, meant that he was definitely not working any simple job. It might be related to the Research Institute.
If it was related to the Research Institute, she couldn’t ask further.
There were too many interests and family connections involved in the Research Institute.
It wasn’t just about the Clark and Lane families anymore, and the power involved extended beyond the Imperial Capital.
Dealing with deep waters, it is also inconvenient to disclose.
Daisy Zane sorted out the thesis and put it on the bedside table, then lay on her side in bed: “Why did you choose philosophy as a minor?”
Kevin Clark held her hand and said softly, “William Lane’s grandfather, Uncle Lane. He used to hold a high position, have you heard of him?”
“A little.”
Perhaps it was because of Old Master Lane that the Lane family had not only the Doomsday Hotel but also Sophie Ortiz as the Dance Association Chairman.
There was little information about the others.
“He wanted me, Roy Madison, and Lila Campbell to succeed him.” Kevin Clark said, “But in the end, none of us took that path.”
Daisy Zane still remembered. Kevin Clark had said that Old Master Lane was his mentor.
That’s why Kevin Clark had considered going into politics.
So you…”
“I had decided to give up that path when I was in college.” Kevin Clark said, “But I felt guilty towards Uncle Lane. I chose this major…just to play mind games. I wanted to find some comfort.”
Daisy Zane listened to his words and was silent for a while, saying, “It’s good.”
“Hmm?”
“It’s good now.”
Kevin Clark understood what she meant, smiled, bent down, and kissed her, “As long as my wife thinks it’s good.”
