Blencalgo.
Lying on the hospital bed was a coughing man, so thin he seemed like skin and bones. His eyes were deeply sunken, his face was pale, and his body was connected to many machines.
All this while, Yerick had been under constant surveillance in the hospital.
Today, Yerick wanted to see Theodore.
Naturally, Theodore was unwilling to meet him, but Yerick had someone pass his message to Theodore: Did he want to find Sebastian?
Upon hearing this, Theodore came.
The bodyguard brought in a chair. Once Theodore sat down, he crossed his legs and leaned back against the chair.
Staring coldly at Yerick, he said, “Yerick, it seems you don’t have long to live.”
Yerick smiled. “That’s precisely why I wanted to see you.”
Theodore furrowed his brows. “Where is Sebastian? Do you know?”
“I don’t know where he is.”
“You don’t?” Theodore said coldly, “If you don’t know, then why did you call me here? To watch you die?”
He had come here with some hope, thinking Yerick might know something, but to his surprise, Yerick told him he didn’t know.
“I may not know where he is, but I can offer you some ideas, help you think outside the box. You might find a new clue.”
“You’re that confident, huh? And what’s your real intention?” Theodore asked.
“My intention? Heh, maybe I had ulterior motives before, but now that I’m about to die, I suddenly want to be a good person. After all, we’re half-brothers; I should be considerate of our father.”
“Then why don’t you meet our father but me instead?”
“That’s a good question.” Yerick laughed, saying, “I’m not sure what I would say to him. It’s better to talk to you, my brother.”
“What do you want to talk to me about?” Theodore asked.
Yerick thought for a moment and said, “Sometimes, I wonder, what if I had appeared in front of you all from the beginning and revealed my identity? What if I hadn’t done all these bad things? How would things be now? Would we be real brothers?”
“There are
what ifs.’ What’s done is done. Yerick, the things you’ve done are reparable,” Theodore said, standing up. “I don’t want to talk to you about this. If you want to die, then go ahead. And along the way, think about what you’ve done with your life. You’re not even 20 years old, and look at all you’ve done.”
Theodore had just turned to leave when Yerick spoke again. “Don’t you want to know where Sebastian is?”
“Didn’t you just say you didn’t know?” Theodore asked in return.
“I don’t know, but I can guess. If you find him, remember to thank me at my grave.”
Theodore responded, “You can guess? You think you can figure out where he is?”
“It’s easy. If he were in this country, with your power and the Jackson family’s, he would have been found by now. He’s definitely abroad, but he’s not in Melrine because they are also hunting him. We’ve already ruled out Blencalgo and Metrine. Next, we need to exclude those with extradition agreements with
Melrine-that alone eliminates over a hundred countries. Sebastian
definitely wouldn’t dare set foot in any of them.”
“By your process of elimination, there’s still 40% of the countries left. Where could Sebastian be?” Theodore asked.
“Exactly. Even after ruling out those countries, Sebastian still has plenty of options. But aside from those openly hostile to Melrine, who would risk offending
them by sheltering a fugitive? We should eliminate those as well.
“Then, we remove countries that wouldn’t want to upset Blencalgo. I’m sure Christopher is already reaching out to nations with close ties to Blencalgo, trying to track Sebastian down. After all that, there won’t be many places left for him to hide.”
