No matter what, he could not figure out why Mom would bring them and run away over the night. She
even wiped off all their tracks along the way.
Mom had done this to avoid Dad.
But why would Mom want to avoid Dad?
Even if they were to get divorced, she did not need to take the four of them out of the country.
As Alden was about to speak, his phone suddenly vibrated.
This was the communicator that he carried along all the time. Even Mom did not know it existed, so it
was not thrown in the trash can.
He clicked on the communicator, and he saw that someone sent him a private message.
Terry North. [My device shows that you and Hal the Milk Lover seem to have arrived near Hestia
Border.]
Alden narrowed his eyes.
When they had executed the mission last time, they formed a temporary mission group. When they
clicked on the member information of the group, they could see their locations. Only people who had
too much time on their hands or people with certain motives would click open other people‘s data and
dissect it.
Terry North was such a busy person. Why would he pay attention to George‘s and his whereabouts?
Alden initially had a favorable impression of Terry North, but the feeling of being spied on gave him
some doubts.
He indifferently sent him a reply.
[We‘re just passing by, on a business trip.]
Then, he turned the phone off.
He looked at the other three kids beside him, pursed his lips, and said, “If we don‘t ask, Mommy will
certainly not explain anything to us. If we do ask, she would try to flip us aside with an excuse. So this
time, we have to unite at the front, or we will remain kept in the dark.”
Harold nodded. “How do we do that?”
Alden resumed, “Hal, you say you miss Daddy, and you want to go back. Mel, you also cry along with
Hal. Georgie, you‘re responsible for beating around the bush, while I will throw her the direct
questions.”
Adina had no idea of the kids‘ plot.
Half an hour later, Flint and her arrived at the edge of Hestia Border.
The security here was very tight because a fight had just taken place, and two consecutive leaders
were assassinated. Therefore, foreign cars could not be driven in, and they would be granted access
only after they were searched.
After walking in through the door, the environment was not much different from ordinary small cities in
foreign countries.
There were many vendors on the side of the road. They were selling everything, and some people
even sold prohibited goods openly. People at the roadside came and left. Some were in suits, while
some walked about in a hurry. It was impossible to tell who belonged to Black Party among the
seemingly ordinary crowd.
Adina lowered her voice and said, “It doesn‘t seem to be as chaotic as described on the news.”
“This is because the new leader who has just taken office issued a new policy, and many illegal acts
have been banned,” Flint softly said. “When I came here with my father for a business discussion a few
years ago, my backpack was snatched away on the street. There were also women being dragged into
the grass at the roadside where they had been walking, minding their own business. Well, anyway, this
area was very chaotic until it became peaceful in the last two weeks.”
“It seems that the newly appointed leader has the intention to rectify the law and order here.” Adina
sighed heavily.
Flint snorted. “There are no good people here. I guess he is harboring some dark thoughts of his own.”
While they talked, they walked into an alley. Two blonde–haired European youths had waited for a long
time. When they saw Flint, they walked over and knocked on Flint‘s shoulders one after another. They
looked very close.
“Let‘s go and eat first.”
Flint allowed the two of them to lead the way, and the four of them went into the nearest restaurant.
The restaurant was well–renovated. It was the peak lunch hour, so many people were dining in.
