Chapter 122
*Hrxjace’s POVHRORE
The next morning, the first thing I did was pick up my phone to call Rika and the others, informing them of our
arrival.
Afterwards, | got ready to meet this anonymous person as agreed.
Fagel was also ready by the t| walked out of my room.
"Good morning, Your Highness." He greetedand | gave a nod in response.
"You ready?" | asked and he nodded.
"Yes."
"Let's go."
We both walked to the elevator and out of the hotel. The car was already awaiting
us by the twe walked out, so we got in and left the hotel.
"He said three blocks away, right?" Fagel asked and | nodded.
"Driver, take us to the cafe three blocks away." He instructed and the driver hummed in response.
We stayed silent all through the ride there. The driver was driving smoothly through the busy streets.
| turned slightly in Fagel's direction and | couldn't help but notice his nervous energy beside me. His leg bounced
up and down, and his hands fidgeted with the hem of his shirt.
| chuckled and nudged him with my elbow. "Relax, Fagel," | teased, a smirk playing on my lips. "This person
might not be a bad person, we don't even know this person."

Fagel shota playful glare. "Your Highness," he retorted with a laugh, "That's exactly why I'm nervous. We're
walking into the unknown here."
| rolled my eyes in mock exasperation and turned my attention to my phone, pretending to be absorbed in
something important. But in reality, my mind was racing with the possibilities of what awaited us at the cafe.
Despite Fagel's nerves, | couldn't deny the thrill of anticipation building inside me. Sure, there was a hint of
danger lingering in the air, but that only added to the excitement of the situation.
As the car pulled up outside the cafe, | shot Fagel a grin. "Ready to face the unknown?" | quipped, opening the
door and stepping out onto the sidewalk.
Fagel laughed and followed suit, his nerves seemingly forgotten for the moment. We stepped into the cafe
together and looked around, in search of the figure or person that we called yesterday.
Just then, my eyes caught someone at the corner who kept staring at us, he suddenly raised a finger and
gestured for us to ccloser.
"Over there." | tapped Fagel's shoulders and we both walked to where this anonymous person sat.
He stood up once we arrived before him and looked into my eyes. He had the lower part of his face covered and
only his black eyes were visible before us.
"Welcome, but we aren't about to stay here and discuss, please follow me." He said and walked out of the cafe.
| glanced at Fagel and he dragged in ragged breaths.
| followed suit first and Fagel joined behind us.
We followed the masked person outside and crossed the road to the other side. He walked into the building there
and we still followed patiently behind him.
We entered the elevator and went straight to the top floor. Once we arrived before a door, he paused it open and
gestured for us to cinside.
"Who are you?" Fagel couldn't hold back the tension that threatened to swallow him up.
"Take a seat." Was all the person said and I did first.
| scanned the room and saw that it was just a normal condo, but a luxurious and well hidden one.
After we had settled down, | finally asked, "Tellwhy you've brought us here." The masked person turned in
my direction and sighed.
He then sat on the couch opposite us.
"Firstly, thank you for actually trustingenough to chere. Then secondly, you won't regret this." He said
and | raised a brow.
"Ok, let's have it."
"My nis Jo, I'm a member of the Wren Family you cfor." At those words, | and Fagel looked at ourselves.
He was the member of the Wren family we cfor?
"But, why are you helping us?" And how do you know it's your family we cfor?" Fagel asked before | did and
| stared at Jo expectantly.
He chuckled low and replied, "I Know it's my Wren family you cfor because
we are the ones with the highest shady business in the entire Avenir."
"And what about the first question? Why are you helping us?" | asked and he sighed.
"I wanted to be the leader of the
Wren family in order to stop the deal and organization my father introduced before his death, but was
overpowered and almost Killed by my step sister." | frowned at that information.
"Your stepsister?" | asked and he nodded.
"My step sister runs the organization now. She ruled the entire family with an iron hand and castedaside
whent went against her. She sent smasked men aftertoo." He explained again and blinked.
His step sister almost killed him and even sent masked men after him? Why was
she cruel?
"But why would she want such a position?" Fagel asked.
"Because our father willed it all in her nand her biological brother's name. Our father was killed after he
tried
dto
kill the sperson he had
a truce with. So she aims to get revenge."
"Wait, that means the head of the Wren family is dead?" | asked and he nodded.
"He died syears back and my stepsister ascended as the leader."
"And who is this your stepsister?"
"Her nis Serenity Wren." At those words, | jolted up from my sitting position with widened eyes.
"Serenity? Could it be the sone | know?" | asked and Jo raised a brow.
"You know another Serenity?" He questioned and | nodded.
"Yes, but her nis Serenity June, not Wren."
"That's her!! She went to Fangoria and changed her nfrom Wren to June!
She hid her true identity!"
"What?!"
"Yes, it is Serenity Wren and Not Serenity June."
