Chapter 1489: Chapter 1461: Some things need to be brought up

When he came out from Matt Bailey’s place, James Norris ’Norris Flowery Fox’ held an extra vial of medicine in his hand.

It was given to him by Charles Norris ’Norris Grandfather’, who claimed that as long as Kiara took it, she would become willing to... you know.

Indeed, this was the legendary Temptation Elixir.

Personally, he was very much against using such disreputable methods, but the seductive words of Norris Grandfather lingered on in his mind.

Gaining possession of the body meant gaining the person; just giving her this could get him a fun woman who would make him forget about burning Matthew Wood ’Woodhead’...

Norris Flowery Fox struggled with himself all the way until he still decided to go and find Kiara, holding that vial of medicine.

"What are you looking at?" Norris Flowery Fox asked Kiara, who was sitting on the balcony.

"The seascape here is beautiful. The scenery doesn’t become ugly just because the people living here are evil, and just as that principle goes, a good person wouldn’t turn bad even thrown into a den of thieves, right?" Kiara retracted her gaze from the sea and turned to say to Norris Flowery Fox.

Good person...

His heart skipped a beat at these two words.

He couldn’t help feeling like she was hinting at something deliberately said for him to hear.

Her reaction was too unusual; Norris Flowery Fox really wanted to ask her why the questionnaire she filled out for Thomas Norris ’Norris Celestial’ was done so carelessly, how she skillfully avoided the lie detector, and whether she really had amnesia?

But seeing her calm and collected demeanor, he felt he couldn’t ask.

As if asking would shatter something fragile.

In his head, it was as though a demon was saying, "Mix the medicine into her food, then she will be yours."

Yet a little angel countered, "Once you do it, you can never go back to how things were. She said you are a good man, a good man, oh~"

After much turmoil, Norris Flowery Fox still couldn’t bring himself to do it.

Forget it, let’s just chat for now. Maybe she might come to like him without resorting to such tricks.

"I... Do you want to see the book I wrote?" Norris Flowery Fox finally found a perfect way in.

"Oh?" Kiara finally turned around to look at him, "You wrote it?"

"Yes, no one else knows it’s written by me, it’s my pen name."

Norris Flowery Fox turned and left, returning shortly with a few books, all specialized texts in Psychology.

Kiara took them and flipped through, a feeling of déjà vu washing over her.

"I feel like... I’ve seen your book at some point."

"Are you sure?" Norris Flowery Fox was surprised.

"Yes, it’s familiar, it must be from the part of my memory that’s missing."

But... the memory she had lost shouldn’t contain any recollection related to this book.

This book was only recently completed by him; the publishing house had sent him a sample copy, and it hadn’t been officially printed and distributed yet. Apart from him, no one else would have seen it, so how could Kiara feel it was familiar?

"Do you really remember me or not?" Norris Flowery Fox hesitated, but still asked.

Kiara blinked, "Maybe I forgot you from a past life, but I remember this life, so I remember you, yet, I don’t remember you."

Wasn’t this the same as not saying anything? Norris Flowery Fox was left dizzy by her roundabout words.

He thought her references to past and present lives were metaphorical—was she hinting that she remembered some parts and forgot others?

But which part of her memory... did she really lose?

It was indeed a mystery.

Kiara looked at him for a while, then shook her head and said.

"Although I have forgotten some things, I believe you are different from the people here, just like this enchanting sea, which, although occupied by a group of evil spirits, remains beautiful, but is helpless to choose otherwise. Fox Cat, I regard you as a friend, and even if I have forgotten a period of time, I trust that you would not betray me in this life or the past. Will you let me down and betray my trust in you?"

"If I let you down... what would you do?" James Norris ’Norris Flowery Fox’ stuffed his hands into his pockets, clutching the small bottle tightly.

Kiara turned her head to look outside the window, where the clouds were light and the breeze was gentle.

"Then you would no longer be my friend, I would unleash dogs to scare you to death, and I would spare no effort to hunt you down for the rest of my life."

James Norris ’Norris Flowery Fox’ hated dogs, but he found Kiara’s first sentence even more distasteful.

To not consider him a friend anymore...

Forget it, no need for the medicine, let’s take it slow, after all, she’s here with him.

While James Norris ’Norris Flowery Fox’ was entangled with how to pursue Kiara, Mario Yuno had also made some progress.

Firstly, he identified several suspects based on various surveillance from that day, confirming they were foreign nationals who had come to the Chinese region and had also found their departure records.

There were no departure records for Kiara, which left the possibility of her being hidden domestically or having been given a fake identity. Mario Yuno continued his investigations, not overlooking any details, from the records of private airplanes to every conceivable mode of transportation.

In the end, he was sure that Kiara’s name had been changed and she was taken out of the country with a fake passport, destined for Rice Nation, but after arriving there, she would definitely transfer again, the specific location though, was unknown.

With the trail gone cold here, the only lead rested on Yuzo Joel’s end, who had conducted deep hypnosis on Chad. This child was not easily hypnotized, but Yuzo Joel still found a way.

Kiara had been missing for two days, and Mario Yuno hardly closed his eyes, sustained solely by his vigorous energy. He wheeled his wheelchair over to Yuzo Joel with the summarized information in hand, intending to hold a meeting.

But at Yuzo Joel’s doorstep, he saw a person he did not expect, Olivia Wheel Smith ’Olivia Smith’, Baron’s wife, Chad’s mother!

Mario Yuno had been looking for Olivia Smith with no success, and he couldn’t determine who had taken Chad away. Now, it seemed that whoever took Chad might well be the real culprit behind Kiara’s abduction!

And at that moment, Olivia Smith emerged from her father-in-law’s house. Could it be...

An idea flashed through Mario Yuno’s mind, yet he couldn’t grasp the main point.

Olivia Smith walked toward him, and Mario Yuno ducked his head and used his hat to cover his face. Olivia Smith did not notice the man in the wheelchair and got into a car and left.

It looked like the father-in-law had something to hide, and Mario Yuno decided to confront him directly and ask why Olivia Smith was at his place.

With that thought, he wheeled into the house, where Yuzo Joel, seeing him come in, quickly waved him over.

"Perfect timing! I’ve got some good news and some bad news. Which one do you want to hear first?"

"The good news first." Mario Yuno had been tormented by Kiara’s disappearance for two days now and couldn’t bear even a bit of bad news.

"I know who took Kiara away! She must be safe now." But whether she’s been eaten by a cat, I can’t guarantee...

"Who?!" Mario Yuno excitedly stood up from his wheelchair; the news was so good that he ignored the pain from the burn blister on his foot.

"JR’s people took her, for a reason that’s not convenient to mention. This is what I inferred from Chad’s case."

"Then where is she now?!"

"That’s the bad news I have for you... JR has hideouts all over the World, and I don’t know where they took Kiara. If we act rashly and startle them, I’m afraid they might harm her."

Mario Yuno plunged from heaven to hell, despondently collapsing back into his wheelchair, striking it forcefully.

"What the hell is JR up to? Got nothing better to do than to abduct my daughter-in-law for god knows what!"

"It’s a relic of history now, and I didn’t think they’d be so obsessed with that experiment from back then... Never mind, you don’t need to know that. You just follow what I said and narrow down the search."

"Are you talking about Soul Particles?" Mario Yuno seemed to have found the key point.

Yuzo Joel turned around, his surprised expression almost asking how Mario knew.

Determined to find his daughter-in-law, Mario Yuno decided not to keep secrets anymore and resolved to lay all the cards on the table with Yuzo Joel. Some things had to be made clear.
