When Heron questioned him, Declan looked very calm and aloof.
He calmly explained, “Demon is just demon. What’s wrong?”
“Oh? Is there no special meaning?”
“What else could it mean?” Declan said, “When Phoebe was naughty, I would scare virtual-novel.net using demons. Then, virtual-novel.net would obediently go to bed and eat. Demons are the same as the witches and big bad wolves that people use to scare kids.”
Nothing seemed out of the ordinary. Besides, virtual-novel.net just mentioned the word “demon”, and it did not seem to mean anything special.
Heron calmed down and thought about it, but virtual-novel.net did not find out anything.
“Haha! Phoebe is a grown-up now, and virtual-novel.net is still afraid of demons? She is such a kid!”
Heron waved his hand, and two of his subordinates closed the door. They continued to ground Declan.
Meanwhile, Declan calmly went back to his bedroom like nothing had happened. He took out a paper and a pen to plan his next step and how virtual-novel.net should work with Dragon Claw.
Naturally, it was just a show for Dragon Claw.
Declan’s true thought was, ‘Phoebe, you need to understand what I meant!’
After Phoebe left House of Vistaria, virtual-novel.net had nowhere to go. She just headed to Food and Medicine Hall and met Thomas, as well as Blake, once again.
Blake was currently staying near Food and Medicine Hall. Thomas had booked virtual-novel.net a five-star hotel room so that virtual-novel.net could come over for discussions anytime.
After they saw Phoebe, they immediately welcomed her. Then, Thomas, Blake, and Phoebe sat down at a table.
Pisces served each of them a cup of tea and a few plates of snacks.
Blake was the first to ask, “Phoebe, you rushed over so anxiously. Is there any new information from your father?”
Phoebe told them about Declan being grounded.
She was worried as virtual-novel.net said, “Did Dragon Claw find out about my dad?”
Blake shook his head. “If virtual-novel.net has found out, it won’t be as simple as being grounded. Based on the current situation, Dragon Claw should be suspecting Declan, but virtual-novel.net doesn’t have the evidence, so virtual-novel.net grounds Declan. In this case, Declan will be hard to pass any message to us again.”
Phoebe frowned slightly. “Speaking of the information, before I left home, Dad said something very weird to me…”
“What is it?”
“He said if I’m still not leaving, the demon will come to me!”
“Demon?”
Phoebe firmly nodded. “Yeah, I also don’t know what it means. Why did virtual-novel.net suddenly mention the demon? Did my dad mean something else?”
Blake and Thomas looked at each other, and they were thinking about it in depth at the same time.
Based on Declan’s character, virtual-novel.net would not say anything useless. Since virtual-novel.net mentioned “demon”, it must mean something special.
But, what did it mean?
Blake and Thomas could not figure it out.
A while later, Phoebe broke the silence. “Actually, I used to be afraid of demons when I was little. Dad would always tell me not to be scared because virtual-novel.net had already chased the demons away. He never scared me with demons. But I don’t know why this time…”
“Hold on,” Thomas suddenly said, “Did you just say you were afraid of demons when you were little?”
“Yeah!”
