Aveline jabbed the doorbell repeatedly, her stubbornness matching the house’s silence. As twilight deepened, an autumn chill crept into the air, the Wind’s bite growing sharper.

Aveline lowered her hand and sighed in resignation, turning to leave.

She headed straight to the hotel, only to find the manager trying to evict Zane.

“Sir, we are closing for renovations. Please leave, the manager insisted.

Zane protested, “You were open when I arrived. Why all of a sudden you’re closing?”

The manager responded, “Sir, please don’t make this difficult for us.”

Aveline approached and said, “Is it really for renovations, or did someone order you to do this? If you don’t tell me the truth, I will make sure you really close down for good.”

The manager hesitated upon seeing her, then said, “I’m sorry, but I can’t disclose that information. We 5 will refund your payment in full.“,

Aveline’s face darkened as she turned to Zane. “Mr. Zane, let’s go.”

The hotel staff were just following orders from above.

Zane, carrying his bag, followed Aveline, sighing heavily. “What now? It’s clear they won’t let Bobby go. They’re making it impossible for me to stay in Cloudflare City!

Aveline thought about taking Zane back to her place, but the apartment belonged to Selena, her good friend. She was welcome to stay there, but bringing someone else would be crossing a line.

She looked at Zane. “There’s a small inn nearby we can try for tonight. I’ll find something more

suitable tomorrow.”

Some local inns were known for their flexibility with guests and payment methods.

Zane shook his head immediately. “That won’t do. I can go to a nearby city and commute back and forth every day. It’s no trouble.”

Aveline smiled gently. “I also need to find a place to stay in anyway. Don’t worry about it.”

Hearing this, Zane fell silent for a moment before asking, “Ave, I really hate to trouble you.

Aveline replied, “Don’t say that. Without your help, I wouldn’t have been able to attend college.”

Zane smiled faintly. “You would have managed. You’ve always been very smart.”

Remembering the past seemed to calm Zane down a bit. Aveline took Zane to a small inn, paid for the room, and told him to rest well before leaving.

She stood on the quiet roadside and called out, “Brian!”

There was no response, but she knew he was there, watching over her from the shadows.

“You want my forgiveness? Show yourself,” Aveline continued.

After a moment of silence, a figure emerged from the nearby bushes. Dressed in black, he blended seamlessly with the night. Had he not revealed himself, he would have been nearly impossible to spot.

He approached her with a blank expression. “What must I do for you to forgive me?”

He had been protecting Aveline as part of his penance.

Earning her forgiveness meant he could return to Lucas‘ side. He didn’t want to stay with this woman; he preferred the thrilling tasks he received from Lucas.

Aveline looked at him directly and asked, “Where is Lucas?”

Brian shook his head. “I’ve been protecting you. I don’t know.”

Aveline insisted, “You’re his subordinate. You must know other colleagues. Ask them. I need to know where Lucas is. Find him and tell me, and I’ll forgive you.”

Brian paused. “Really?”
