Chapter 559: Chapter 502: Dark Radiance in Action
Once mid-October passed, the weather became increasingly cooler.
As a result… Charlotte Lane’s right to eat ice cream was stripped away once again.
After getting off work at the Research Institute, Charlotte Lane and Kevin Clark went back to Clark Manor together.
After dinner, Kevin Clark went to the study room to talk to Elina Clark for a bit.
It only took 30 minutes, but when he came out, he only found Tom Wayne and Hardy Clark in the living room.
“Where’s Auntie?” Kevin Clark asked.
“Auntie said she was tired and took Charles Amos back to the North Court,” Hardy Clark replied.
Kevin Clark frowned slightly.
Hardy Clark, holding Tom Wayne’s arm, snuggled on the sofa watching TV, and said, “Third Uncle, you’re so inconsiderate of Auntie. You didn’t even know she was tired, and you went to the study room with Grandfather after dinner, leaving Auntie here alone.”
Tom Wayne glanced at Kevin Clark, and upon seeing his dark face, chuckled in his heart.
Kevin Clark looked at Hardy Clark, “Sit properly.”
Hardy Clark subconsciously straightened her body, then cautiously glanced at Kevin Clark.
But Kevin Clark did not look at her again, and simply left.
At this time, in the North Court, Charlotte Lane and Charles Amos, one big and one small, sat on the swing near the rose field. Each of them held an ice cream in their hands, seeming very happy.
“Why are we here?” Charles Amos asked.
Charlotte Lane lazily said, “Keep it down.”
“Why are we here?” Charles Amos asked quietly.
“It looks nice here.” Charlotte Lane looked at the first day’s full moon in the sky.
Charles Amos looked at the roseless roses and did not dare to refute.
“But there are mosquitoes here.” Charles Amos said, “We didn’t bring mosquito repellent. Why are there still mosquitoes at this time?”
“Do you want to eat ice cream here or go back?” Charlotte Lane asked calmly.
Bring mosquito repellent? Too much smoke would give their position away too quickly.
“Eat ice cream.” Charles Amos chose without hesitation.
Although Charlotte Lane said that, she still used the sleeve of her removed coat to drive mosquitoes away from him, “Do you want to go to school?”
“Huh?” Charles Amos almost choked on the ice cream in his mouth.
“I don’t think I can let you be this happy.” Charlotte Lane said lightly, “It’s time for you to taste the bitterness of studying.”
Charles Amos: “……”
“Your social circle is too narrow, and all the people around you are adults; you should try to get in touch with peers.” Charlotte Lane said.
“Why? I think I’m quite good as I am now.” Charles Amos said softly.
“Give it a try.” Charlotte Lane said, “If it doesn’t suit you, we can talk about it later.”
Charles Amos did not speak.
Charlotte Lane didn’t say anything either.
The two quietly ate their ice cream for a while, and when Charlotte Lane finished one, she opened another new one.
“Dad wants to change my name,” Charles Amos said.
“Don’t you want to?” Charlotte Lane asked.
Edward North had discussed the matter with her, and she had told him to ask Charles Amos at the time.
“Not that I don’t want to.” Charles Amos said. “My dad’s last name is Clark, not Jack Amos. It just feels a bit strange to suddenly change it. And… why do I have to come up with the name myself? Isn’t it your job?”
“Just pick a character.” Charlotte Lane said.
Their generation’s name just happened to have the character “garden.”
Just pick one after the word “garden” would do.
“You grown-ups are so lazy!” Charles Amos complained.
As soon as he finished speaking, the two saw a light appear in the distance on the corridor.
Charles Amos immediately looked at Charlotte Lane.
Charlotte Lane also got off the swing and, holding Charles Amos’s hand, said, “Let’s go.”
The two quickly took a shortcut and left.
So when Kevin Clark arrived, he only saw a small ice cream spoon under the swing.
Kevin Clark looked at the ice cream spoon: “……”
He picked it up, threw it in the trash can, sighed softly, and then returned the way he came.
By the time he returned to the room, Charlotte Lane was already sitting at the bay window, hugging her computer, looking at the experiment report that Turner Daniel had sent her.
Hearing footsteps, Charlotte Lane glanced at Kevin Clark without saying anything, and then looked back at the computer.
Kevin Clark leaned against the doorway and looked at her, “Hardy said you were tired and came back.”
“Yeah, I was a bit sleepy just now, but now I’m not tired.” Charlotte Lane said without changing her face.
Kevin Clark looked at her for a while, smiled, and then turned around and left.
Seeing him leave, Charlotte Lane watched his retreating figure and blinked lightly.
The direction of the matter… it didn’t go quite as she expected.
Her fingers slowly tapped the computer, thinking when Kevin Clark returned after just over two minutes with an ointment in his hand.
She watched Kevin Clark approaching.
“Why are you looking at me?” Kevin Clark walked to her side, looking down at her. “Do you think I left because I was angry?”
Charlotte Lane raised her eyebrows slightly.
Kevin Clark brought a chair over with his foot, sat down, squeezed some ointment, and applied it to Charlotte Lane’s arm.
There were three mosquito bites on her arm.
“I just went to see Charles Amos, and he said he wasn’t bitten by mosquitoes,” Kevin Clark said.
“Maybe… his blood isn’t sweet enough.”
Kevin Clark chuckled, “How many did you eat?”
“What?”
Kevin Clark looked at her.
Charlotte Lane looked at him too.
“Charles Amos has already confessed, so you should confess too,” Kevin Clark looked at her, his eyes suddenly hardening, “Otherwise…”
“Or what?”
Just as Kevin Clark was about to speak, Charlotte Lane’s cell phone suddenly rang.
Both of them turned their heads to look, and the note showed a bunch of random codes. But Kevin Clark remembered this chaos, it was Luke.
Charlotte Lane answered the phone.
Luke said directly, “Boss, I have something to report to you.”
“Go ahead.”
“Do you know that Dark Radiance has been very active lately?” Luke suddenly asked cautiously.
Charlotte Lane looked at Kevin Clark.
Kevin Clark’s eyes asked her a question.
“I don’t know,” Charlotte Lane replied to Luke.
Luke was silent for a moment, then said, “Dark Radiance has been active on various continents recently. In just half a month, they have disrupted sixty-seven 319 transactions and arrested many people.”
Charlotte Lane’s eyes flashed lightly.
Seeing her not speaking, Luke continued, “They say there have been several seemingly resting places where there was fierce fighting. And in one place… during the fight, they saw a masked man being escorted away. Although they were too far away to see his face clearly, they speculated that it might be Edward Kirsten.”
