Chapter 1266 Prohibited Area

“Why?”

Seeing Arthur’s serious and panicked expression, Kisa grew even more curious about the things within the archway.

Arthur replied, “That’s my grandpa’s territory. No one’s allowed to go in there.”

Kisa’s eyes glinted slightly.

“Why is that? Don’t you all stay together? Why are there territories?” she asked in confusion.

“It’s not that we have territories.”

Arthur peered into the archway. Then, he walked toward the villa.

Kisa quickly caught up to him.

“If it’s not that you have territories, then what is it? Didn’t you just say that’s your grandpa’s territory?”

“We don’t have territories. Everyone in the Mullen family can move around as they please anywhere in the courtyard except for that place.”

“Hoho. You’re making it sound like that place is a prohibited area.”

“Something like that.”

Arthur thought for a bit and continued, “Actually, in the beginning, that area was similar to the other areas in the courtyard. There was a rockery, pond, and gazebo. I even used to often play there when I was younger. After that, which was a few years ago, grandpa suddenly got someone to renovate that

area. I heard that a basement was built. I also heard that the basement is decorated lavishly, has a huge garden built on the ground floor, and a little stream with water directed in from the outside. It’s beautiful,”

“You… heard?”

Kisa was starting to find the Mullen family weirder and weirder.

‘He’s the eldest grandson in the Mullen family, and he had to learn from someone else about the landscape in the Mullen residence’s courtyard. How strange,’ she thought.

“Yeah, I heard. Ever since that place got renovated, I have never entered it again. After the basement and the ground level were built, my grandpa had a family meeting. He announced that the area was his and that nobody was to enter. Previously, my second uncle didn’t listen to him. and sneaked in the middle of the night. In the end, the bodyguard surrounding the area discovered him, and he was almost beaten to death. My grandfather even punished him severely and practically took away all of his power in the company.”

Kisa was shocked. “There are bodyguards surrounding that place?”

“Of course. The bodyguards are hidden. Otherwise, why would I pull you away in such a rush?”

Arthur continued earnestly, “Besides that, my fourth uncle’s child, who was five or four years old.

went there out of curiosity. Even though the bodyguards didn’t beat the child, my grandpa confined my uncle’s child and didn’t give him food for three days. The child almost starved to death. After that, nobody dared to go there.”

Kisa immediately felt immense confusion and curiosity from within.

She asked Arthur, “Then, do you all know why your grandfather built that basement?”

“My grandpa said it’s to avoid the summer heat. Anyway, that place is a prohibited area in the Mullen residence. Other than my grandpa, nobody is allowed to go there, even my grandma.”

Kisa darkened her gaze.

‘To avoid the summer heat? How could it be something as simple as avoiding the summer heat? Why would Mr. Mullen Sr. make it seem so secretive and serious if it was merely for that? Unless there’s something hidden in that basement, Kisa thought.

Then, she subconsciously glanced at the area again.

It was pitch black, and it did not seem like anyone was staying there at all.

Arthur saw Kisa constantly looking at the place. He could not help but remind her, “Even the Mullen family isn’t allowed to go there, not to mention outsiders. That’s why you should be mindful and not get too curious. Otherwise, nobody will care if the bodyguards beat you to death.”
