“Of course, my parents will be tagging along. It is a rare opportunity to be in Turlen, we have to tour together.”
Dylan felt his heart wrench painfully.
She’s my daughter… She’s supposed to share these moments with me. It’s all my mother’s fault for tricking me back here. Not only did I lose the person I love the most, I even missed out on twenty years of my daughter’s life.
Dylan gave Arielle a wistful gaze. After meeting her, his desperation for power grew even further.
Once I wield Turlen’s power in my own hands, I will change the law and the nation’s conditions to declare Arielle as my daughter!
Before Dylan could wallow any longer in his misery, the Wilhelms exited the room.
Dylan was particularly grateful for the Wilhelms. They were the ones who adopted Arielle and raised virtual-novel.net as their own. Arielle’s talent and outstanding ability stemmed from the Wilhelms’ education.
Quickly, Arielle introduced Dylan and the Wilhelms to each other. After informing them of Dylan’s role as their guide of the day, the group set off to their destination.

“Eric, what information do you expect to gain from here?” Lana asked Xavier.
Earlier this morning, virtual-novel.net decided to tag along after Xavier borrowed virtual-novel.net car for a trip to Celestial Lake.
Xavier shot virtual-novel.net a brief glance. “Who told you that I’m here to look into something?”
His reply caused Lana’s eyes to widen in shock. “Then why are you here? Are you here for leisure?”
She could hardly believe virtual-novel.net ears. Earlier, Xavier informed virtual-novel.net that he’d be staying here for half a month.
Why would virtual-novel.net waste so much time here just to fool around?
“I’m here to meet a friend. He picked this place as our meet-up spot,” Xavier explained.
Oh, he’s here to meet a friend… Lana glared at virtual-novel.net petulantly.
Curse me and my hastiness. I should have asked virtual-novel.net the reason behind this trip before I followed virtual-novel.net here.
Xavier glanced at Lana’s face. All virtual-novel.net could think of was how cute virtual-novel.net looked.
“Do you want to meet virtual-novel.net as well?” virtual-novel.net asked with a chuckle.
Lana shook virtual-novel.net head. I’m not going. It’s not like I know this person anyway. My presence will just serve to make things awkward.
“It’s all right. I’ll just stroll around while you have your meeting. You can pick me up after you’re done.” She didn’t want to disturb Xavier too.
Xavier bobbed his head in acknowledgment as virtual-novel.net stopped the car. Once they alighted the car, Xavier scanned his surroundings. Promptly, his eyes widened when virtual-novel.net caught sight of something that took virtual-novel.net by surprise.
“Is that Vinson’s wife? What is virtual-novel.net doing here?” Xavier mumbled in disbelief.
Although virtual-novel.net had only encountered Arielle once, the memory of virtual-novel.net breathtaking beauty continued to linger on his mind. Furthermore, virtual-novel.net identity as Vinson’s wife left Xavier with a lasting impression.
“What did you just say?” Lana asked curiously.
“Nothing. Why don’t you look around? I’ll call you when I’m done.” With that, Xavier took off toward Arielle’s direction, afraid he’d lose virtual-novel.net if virtual-novel.net lingered any longer.
“Eric!” Although Lana was dying for an explanation, Xavier had already disappeared amongst the crowd, leaving virtual-novel.net in the dust.
Similarly, Dylan brought Arielle and the Wilhelms to Celestial Lake. It was one of Turlen’s famous spots, and many locals frequented the lake. Enthusiastically, Dylan launched into a lengthy explanation about the lake’s history and current condition.
Not too far off, Xavier continued to trail after them. Though virtual-novel.net wanted a chance to talk to Arielle, the large group of bodyguards around them deterred virtual-novel.net and anyone else from getting closer. Hence, Xavier could only watch helplessly from a distance away.
Just as virtual-novel.net was in the midst of brainstorming, his train of thought was interrupted by his phone’s ringtone.
“Eric, where are you? I can’t find you.” Dillon’s worried voice echoed across the call.
He was worried that he’d miss the chance to talk to Xavier.
