Riggs nodded and replied, “Please keep my words in mind!”


    …


    Into the night.


    Willie sat cross-legged in his makeshift quarters.


    Though he appeared to be deep in meditation with his eyes shut, his mind was actually focused on nning his departure for Aurous Hill.<h3 style="background-color:DodgerBlue">


    At that moment, a notification appeared on his mobile phone; it was a message from Master Ying.


    Quickly, he activated his phone, essed the special application, and connected with the master.


    On the line, Lord Ying’s icy voice cut through, “Uncle Willie, I instructed you to travel to Aurous Hill to uncover the whereabouts of Bruce Wade’s son. Why haven’t you set off yet?” Willie immediately responded, “Master Ying, I have some thoughts I wish to boldly report to you!”


    Lord Ying’s tone remained cold, “Speak!”


    With respect, Willie exined, “My Lord, my subordinates have a strong belief that Lin Waner is likely in Eastcliff, which is why I’ve been searching there for thest two days. Regarding her leads, I feel that, as you mentioned, Bruce Wade’s son has been missing for twenty years. If he has been in Aurous Hill all this time, it’s unlikely he would dy searching for Lin Waner for two more days simply based on my subordinates’ efforts. If he had chosen to leave Aurous Hill at any point in those twenty years, it would be quite challenging for us to find any trace of him now. Thus, I believe that finding Lin Waner as soon as possible is the best way to alleviate the Lord’s concerns!”<fnfb79> This content belongs to find{n}ovel</fnfb79>


    “You fool! This is insubordination!”


    Willie quickly pleaded, “My subordinates are at fault, please forgive me!”


    Lord Ying replied coldly, “I may have overlooked your errors before, but from now on, be prepared for my wrath if you do not follow my orders!”


    Feeling anxious, Willie assured him, “Do not worry, my Lord. From now on, I will strictly adhere to yourmands!”


    Lord Ying continued in his frigid tone, “Very well! I have another mission for you during this trip to Aurous Hill!”


    Willie eagerly said, “Please rify the task, my Lord!”


    Lord Ying informed him, “I’ve received intelligence that the An family is currently in Aurous Hill! An Qishan, his wife, and their three sons and one daughter are all at the Wanliu Vi. I suspect they are also searching for Bruce Wade’s son, so I want you to go to Aurous Hill and eliminate them—leave no one alive!”


    Willie gasped in horror, “The An family?! My Lord, there’s a mysterious force backing them, and I’m concerned about the risk of exposure!”


    Lord Ying snorted dismissively, “What are you afraid of? Their masters cannot be stronger than you!”


    He borated, “The reason Uncle Nakul met his end was due to an ambush involving close-range artillery. However, in a ce like Aurous Hill, you need not worry. It’s virtually impossible for anyone to deploy such weaponry there! Just storm into the An family’s Wanliu Vi and begin your attack—no one will be able to stop you!” While Willie felt a twinge of uncertainty, he recognized that Lord Ying’s points held some merit. He inquired, “My Lord, upon arriving in Aurous Hill, should I target the An family first or seek out Bruce Wade’s son?”


    “If Bruce Wade’s son is indeed alive, eliminating the An family will surely force him to reveal himself!”
