Chapter 406

    <font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">In thest half hour, most students in the exam room were still grappling with the final tough questions, feeling overwhelmed. Meanwhile, Yvette casually got up, walked to the podium, ced her test paper down, and nodded to the proctor.</font></font>


    <font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Seeing Yvette leave the exam room, the other students were left dumbfounded. They had mixed emotions.</font></font>


    <font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">They thought, ‘What happened to the promised torture of difficult questions? There are differences among people. Observing this, the rest quickly buried their heads back into their tests.</font></font>


    <font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">The proctor couldn’t hold back his curiosity. He genuinely wanted to see how many questions could be finished in half an hour and how many could be right.</font></font>


    <font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">He felt thatpleting the entire test correctly seemed impractical; maybe just barely passing was feasible. But he was taken aback when he took a closer look at the paper.</font></font>


    <font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">At the entrance of Argrol University, Jeremiah drove a ck Jeep. Andrew, Samantha, and Charles were inside the vehicle. Andrew took a piece of vani toffee that Yvette had casually left in the car, and once he started, he couldn’t stop.</font></font>


    <font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">He shook his head as he gazed at the school entrance and said sincerely, “Listen, Jeremiah, when Yvettees out, she might not be in th0e best mood.</font></font>


    <font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">“I’ve heard the exam this time is challenging.” As he spoke, he tossed another vani toffee into his mouth.</font></font>


    <font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Jeremiah leaned against the car window and spoke in a low voice, “You’ve already eaten ten pieces of toffee.”</font></font>


    <font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Samantha snatched thest piece of toffee from Andrew’s hand and put it back. She said, “You’re a grown man eating candy. like a kid.”</font></font>


    <font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Charles quietly swallowed the candy and then nodded in agreement, acting as if nothing was out of the ordinary.</font></font>


    <font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Andrew quickly took back the candy and put it in his pocket. He said, “Samantha, you’ve never tried this. Yvette’s candy is incredibly delicious. You won’t find it anywhere else.”</font></font>


    <font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Samantha paused, wondering, “Candy that one can’t find anywhere else?”</font></font>


    <font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Just then, Yvette left the school and spotted the Jeep. She went over, opened the door, and entered the front passenger seat. Once she sat down, she instantly noticed the familiar sweet smell.</font></font>


    <font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">She gave Andrew a thoughtful look and said, “Don’t forget to transfer the money. It’ll be 30 million dors.”</font></font>


    <font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Andrew was caught by surprise. The candy stuck in his throat, making him turn red. He thought, “Thirty million dors? Are these candies worth that much?”</font></font>


    <font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">In the end, Andrew, with tears in his eyes, transferred 30 million dors to Yvette, feeling his heart shatter. He swore never to eat that candy again.</font></font>


    <font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Normis enjoyed a year–round spring–like climate with great weather and plenty of resources. In the past, it wasn’t a major focus for national support.</font></font>


    However, with the recent boom in tourism, the government had been actively supporting the development of its tourism industry. Normis had be a ce everyone wanted to visit.


    After the nended, Yvette and Jeremiah had a private car waiting at the airport exit. Jeremiah had already sent their luggage via air transport a day in advance.


    Ar a vi in Normis, Andrew stood frozen at the entrance. The vi’s gate looked exactly like the design from Sknd, and even theyout seemed the same.


    Samantha and Charles just paused briefly, then calmly carried their luggage into the vi, leaving Andrew alone at the entrance.


    Watching everyone walk ahead, Andrew called out from behind, “Wait for me!”


    In the living room, Emmett, who had been sent to Afria by Jeremiah and had just rushed back to Normis, stood quietly on the side.


    Emmett was thrilled to see Jeremiah and Yvette. He quickly stepped forward and slightly bowed. He said, “Mr. Chavez, Yvette, you’re here! The room is ready for you.”


    He then nodded toward Samantha and Charles, who had followed Jeremiah in. He greeted, “Ms. Mitchell, Mr. Jameson.” Emmett had already learned about Charles‘ background. Charles was once a dominant figure in the Mysonna underworld and the leader of the Goodman family’s Seventy–Two Chambers undoubtedly a fierce character.


    Emmett remarked inside, ‘Yvette’s circle is indeed full of remarkable people; even someone as tough as Charles is willing to take orders from her.


    Jeremiah nodded and gave a simple reply.


    Yvette’s expression was indifferent. Her voice was cold as she looked at Emmett and said, “Looks like you’re doing well.” Emmett’s mouth twitched. He thought, “Doing well? How did Yvettee to that conclusion? My time in Afria was tough; I was chased by local girls asking if I wanted to have a child with them.


    ‘Have kids, just like that? Do they think kids are like cabbages that can pop up whenever?”


    Finally, two days ago, he received orders from Jeremiah that he could return home. He left Afria as quickly as he could, not wanting to stay a moment longer.


    Emmett nodded with tears in his eyes, forcing himself to say, “It’s fine.” The words felt hollow, as insincere as they could be


    Andrew walked in and saw a few people sitting on the couch. When he spotted Emmett, he eximed inside, ‘What the heck? Why is he back?


    Andrew tossed his luggage aside, plopped casually onto the couch, and shouted, “Emmett, I want vani ice cream!”


    Emmett nced at Andrew, nodding without hesitation. Then, he went straight to the fridge. Inside the drawer, there were stacks of vani ice cream.


    Emmett handed the ice cream to Andrew and softly reminded him, “Don’t overeat.”


    Andrew nodded and said, “Alright. I knew it, Emmett. You’re the best.”


    Charles paused briefly. Samantha was used to it.


    Emmett had followed Jeremiah since he was young. He grew up with the group. Since childhood, he had been particrly fond of Andrew, often without any limits.


    To others, Emmett was always serious and rarely chatty. People who didn’t know them well might even think he and Andrew were brothers.


    Yvette sat on the couch. She raised her eyebrows as she said, “Tm going upstairs to change.”


    Jeremiah gently squeezed her fingers. With a serious look, he said, “I’ll join you.”


    Andrew looked at Jeremiah with admiration. He thought, ‘See? That’s how one elevates flirting–saying the cheekiest things with apletely serious expression. Impressive, truly impressive.


    Yvette nced at Jeremiah with a faint smile. Shezily curled one side of her lips and said, “No need.” Then, she turned around without a second thought.


    Jeremiah watched Yvette go upstairs, then turned to Emmett and said, “The Dungo Vige’s documents.”


    Samantha wasn’t interested in hearing about this, so she went upstairs too. Soon, only Jeremiah, Charles, and Andrew remained in the living room.


    As soon as Andrew heard Dungo Vige, he quickly sat up straight. Emmett gave him a nce, then pulled a stack of papers from a nearby folder and handed them to Jeremiah.


    Jeremiah flipped through the documents as Emmett exined: Mr. Chavez, Dungo Vige is located at the southwest end of Normis, near Glenwood. This vige has a long history and is inhabited by poison sorcerers.


    “Usually, it isn’t very open to outsiders. Several nearby viges have been developing tourism, but Dungo Vige has always turned down the government’s development ns, dragging it out for years. Now, the government has pretty much left it alone.


    “To get to Dungo Vige, one has to go through a cliff, which is why there haven’t been many visitors. Not much information is avable about it. There’s only one interesting point.


    “Over twenty years ago, there was an outbreak of gue in Dungo Vige that killed about half the poption. How it resolved is unclear, and the truth of this story is uncertain. It’s a rumor that came from other viges.”


    Andrew asked anxiously, “Emmett, have you heard anything about Bonnie?”


    Emmett looked serious and shook his head.


    He said, “No, we’ve been asking around, but all we know is that ever since Bonnie entered the vige, she hasn’te out.


    “Someone saw her at the bus station; she looked really anxious, almost on the verge of tears. She even paid a hefty sum to hire an unregistered car to take her back to Dungo Vige.


    “When our people showed the driver her picture, he recognized her, which provided us with a lead.”N?velDrama.Org content rights.
