"Of course!" Adam said. "He's the son of my second maternal aunt. I knew him since we were wearing diapers."
Abel was surprised.
His cousin is named Anthony Green?
"What's your cousin's job?"
"He's running the family business," Adam replied. "It's a small company anyway. Nothing remarkable."
"Oh," Abel said.
Looks like that Anthony Green isn't the one I'm looking for.
Why are there so many people named Anthony Green? Inspector Charles has a dozen Anthony Greens in his
database.
"Why did you ask about Anthony?" Adam asked, feeling a little uneasy.
"Nothing. Just asking," Abel said.
Adam did not say anything. The tension was awkward.
"Well then, I should take my leave. Rest well, Adam," Abel said as he stood up.

He did not want Abel to remain there. He always felt uneasy when talking to Abel.
Adam was also afraid that he might accidentally say something that he was not supposed to. Also, Abel had a
dominating presence, and his eyes looked like they could see through a man's thoughts.
Abel left the room. Luca and several bodyguards followed behind him and went into the elevator.
The first-floor lobby was crowded. Everyone made way for the group because they looked intimidating.
Suddenly, Abel heard someone call out his name from behind him. "Mr. Ryker?"
Abel stopped walking and turned around. Luca and the others also turned around.
They saw Paul standing there.
Next to Paul was Edmond, his eldest son, and several bodyguards.
In front of Edmond was a wheelchair with Flynn sitting on it.
Abel was surprised. He walked toward them.
"Mr. Murphy, I thought you'd already left Struyria."
"Look at my son," Paul said with some difficulty. "I couldn't leave."
Abel lowered his head and looked at Flynn.
Flynn sat there with a hollow gaze and saliva dripping out of his mouth. He looked like he was paralyzed.
"What happened to Flynn?" Abel was shocked.
"The doctor said he suffered major blood loss, and his brain was deprived of oxygen," Paul said as he started to sob.
"I didn't expect Evelyn to harm him."
Abel remembered when they rescued Flynn from the basement, he was close to death.
If Waylon had not fed him medicine, Flynn would have died in two hours.
"I've always wanted to thank you, Mr. Ryker," Paul said.
"No, I don't deserve your thanks. I didn't manage to save Flynn," Abel said.
"You've already done your best," Paul said. "The doctor said it's a miracle that Flynn is still alive."
"But what are you going to do with him?" Abel said, feeling sorry. "He's still so young."
"You don't say." Tears streamed down Paul's face. "Flynn is about your age. You're powerful and respected, while
he's…"
Paul sobbed. He could not bear to finish the sentence.

Paul nodded. "I was thinking of asking the Wonder Doctor for help. There might still be hope for Flynn."
The Wonder Doctor? Abel remained silent.
Emmeline could not even see with her eyes now. How was she going to treat Flynn?
However, he could not tell Paul that.
He would let Emmeline decide what she wanted to do.
"That sounds like a good idea," Abel said.
Paul was about to leave when he suddenly remembered something. "Mr. Ryker…"
Abel nodded. "Yes?"
"Well…" Paul lowered his voice. "Edmond went to look for Evelyn's body at the location you gave him, but he didn't
find anything."
He didn't find anything? Abel was surprised.
"There are wolves in those mountains. Could they have eaten her body?" Abel said.
