The teacher was deeply concerned about it.


    Later, he pondered over what a father should be like. When he wanted to roughhouse with his dad like other kids, all he received was an indifferent gaze.


    His mother had grown ustomed to this, so she often advised him not to seek what''s called familial affection from his father.


    "Adler? Adler!"


    Jenna''s voice snapped Adler back to reality.


    "Hmm?"


    Adler came to his senses, noticing Jenna''s frown. "I''ve been calling you for ages, why didn''t you respond?"


    Only then did Adler realize that everyone was looking at him with concern.


    "I was just thinking that Ms. Elodie made some good points. It even made me start to doubt him."


    "Ms. Elodie has already left, what are you daydreaming about?"


    Jenna rarely saw Adler lose hisposure like this.


    Adler replied, "Of course, I wouldn''t cover up for my father if he was doing something wrong. I truly think she had a point. Maybe I should go home and check. If he really is the leader of The Silent Shadows, he wouldn''t be home tonight. He might even be in the valley." "Everyone was discussing serious matters, and you were the only one lost in thought, now acting all nonchnt!" Jenna said. "We''re not suspecting Mr. Wesley, but Elodie did make some sense. If you really want to go check, I''ll apany you. It''s better to have someone to watch your back."


    Jenna didn''t dare to speak her mind.


    She thought if Wesley truly was the leader of The Silent Shadows, then Adler, despite his youth and clever mind, might not be able to overpower Wesley.


    "Since my dear wife has said so, how could I possibly refuse? Besides, I''m counting on you to protect me."


    In front of Sophie and Colby, Adler intended to hug Jenna.


    Thankfully, Jenna quickly pushed him aside.


    "There are so many people here, mind your image!"


    Seeing Jenna blush, Adler became


    serious. He addressed everyone,


    "Colby, Sophie, if my dad really is the


    leader of The Silent Shadows, please don''t worry about me. But if it,


    iel


    After all, he was Wesley''s son.


    He had so many questions for his dad.


    Even if there wasn''t much of a father-son bond, they were still rted by blood.


    "Alright."


    Sophie said, "If we can prove that Wesley is indeed the leader of The


    Silent Shadows, maybe we ca. hetContentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDra/ma.O(r)g!


    strike first without him realizing his cover''s been blown."


    They were running out of time. Julian and Booker had already been taken in for questioning, and Duskhaven was about to erupt into chaos. They couldn''t afford to waste any more time here.


    They had to take the initiative.


    "Let''s not dy, let''s do it today."


    Jenna said, "The Tredgold family''s security isn''t that tight. We can sneak in and see for ourselves. If we find Wesley, we can take him into custody."


    Colby added, "More people doesn''t


    necessarily mean safer. Sophie and I will stay here. Adler, take Jenna with you to the Tredgold family. It''s a legitimate reason, and you won''t be suspected."  en
