Leonardo's POV
"Since we suspect it's connected to V Country's Departure City Reese's Fragrance & Dye Studio, we should dig into the Reese family. We need to find out why your grandmother fled Departure City back then."
"Exactly. We have to investigate." Veronica's expression grew distant. I could see she was thinking about Adalind's dying words—how Adalind had warned her never to set foot in Departure City. What made Adalind say that? What secrets lurked there? What forbidden ground couldn't they return to? "I need to dig deep into this."
"Let me handle it. I'll start by checking the Reese family's current status."
"Thanks."
After we finished searching Obsidian Uriah's hideout, I drove Veronica back. My phone buzzed on the way—one of my men calling.
"Mr. Nelson, we just received word that the criminal Obsidian Uriah assaulted officers, created chaos, and broke free. His current location is unknown."
"Where did this happen?"
"Malone Road, at the Prosecutor's Office."
