The Swordsman nodded. “I contacted them. They should be heading
directly to the Sigur Cliff.”
Boris smiled and nodded. “Let’s go there now.”
Duncan summoned the captain of the bodyguards and instructed him
to gather all the Duerson family’s bodyguards. During this period, the
number of the Duerson family’s bodyguards had grown to a
formidable 200, every one of them was at the Energy Cultivation
Realm or grandmaster-level expert.
Seizing the moment, Duncan returned to the living room, sat on the
sofa, and absentmindedly opened a drawer, ncing at the Eight-Part Scepter inside.
He had sprinkled some flour on the package containing the Eight-Part Scepter. If someone had
tampered with it, the flour would have spilled
into the drawer. Duncan reached in and took out the package, giving it
a shake. The flour was undisturbed.
At that moment, a maid ced a tray of tea on the coffee table.”
Boss, have some tea!”
Duncan put down the package, closed the drawer, and asked, “Did
Mireillee down?”
The maid nodded. “Yes, she did.”
“Did she behave strangely in any way?” Duncan asked again.
The maid quickly shook her head. “No, she just asked about how you
usually treat your subordinates and such.”
Duncan raised a brow. He looked at the maid coldly and asked, “How did you answer?”
The maid felt a chill run down her spine under the boss’s intense gaze and stammered, “I said our boss
treats us very well!”
Duncan smiled with satisfaction. “You don’t have to be so afraid of
1. As long as you do your job well and don’t anger me, I won’t
mistreat anyone under mymand.” He was strict with his subordinates, so as to establish his
authority among them. He
wanted them to know his word wasw.
Duncan took a sip of tea, stood up, and headed upstairs. In the bedroom, Mireille was lying on the bed,
sleeping on her side. Duncan sat on the edge of the bed, his well-defined fingers gently caressing.
her fair face, eyes filled with tenderness and affection.
Mireille, waking up with sleepy eyes, saw the man before her and
shed a sweet smile, “You’re back.”
Duncan chuckled softly, “Did I wake you up?”
Shaking her head, Mireille said, “No, I’ve been sleeping for a while. I’m not sleepy anymore.” Then, she
cautiously added, “Will you
apany me to see my grandfatherter?”
Duncan hesitated for a moment but then regretfully said, “I might not have time today.”
Mireille’s eyes dimmed. “I’ve been away for so long. My grandfather
must be worried.”
After a brief pause, Duncan smiled and said, “I’ll take you back to the
Chark+ 361
pharmacy first. When Ie back, I’ll go to the pharmacy and look for you.”
Mireille shook her head quickly. “No, I want to take you home with me!
“How about this: once I’m done with my work, I’lle back, and then.
we can go home together, alright?”
“Alright.” Mireille sweetly smiled.
Duncan bent down and kissed her soft lips tenderly. Just then, The Swordsman called out from
downstairs, “Duncan, it’s time to go!”
Duncan was about to leave, but Mireille wrapped her arms around his
neck and continued to kiss him.
After a while, Mireille blushed and said, “I want to go too!”
Duncan gently brushed Mireille’s nose and said, “You’re not feeling
well. Rest well.”
Mireille pouted. “I’m fine now. I even went downstairs and walked
around just now.”

Duncan also wanted to stay with Mireille, so he nodded and
conceded, “Alright, but you have to promise me to stay in the car and
not run around.”
Joyfully, Mireille kissed Duncan on the cheek, then sat up from the
bed.
Duncan crouched down to help Mireille put on her shoes. It was a heartwarming scene and Mireille
even found herself a bit lost in
thought. If he were not Duncan, perhaps he would have made a
