Chapter 248: Do they also deserve to die?
[PRESENT TIME]
When Kim landed after the long flight, she didn’t waste any more breath and headed straight to Fil’s hometown. According to Jackson’s people, there was only one person who moved into the town nearest Fil’s parent’s home.
The house was small and old, with some new patches around. The dim yellow light on the porch brought this somber atmosphere.
When the wind blew from behind Kim, she glanced up at the house. It was already evening here, but Kim was never afraid of darkness or the night. Yet, right at this moment, she couldn’t deny the traces of dread creeping up her spine.
"Did you confirm?" she asked the second she felt a presence behind her.
"Yes," answered the man in black. "It’s him."
A glint flickered across Kim’s eyes as all her facial features turned sharp. In the blink of an eye, the two figures outside the rundown townhouse disappeared, only to reappear inside the quiet home.
There was only one source of light in the house, and it was coming from the kitchen. Just like the one on the porch, the color was a warm yellow. Looking around, there wasn’t anything worthy of a second look. There was barely any furniture and appliances.
Kim cast the people inside a quiet look and nodded. Knowing that signal, they disappeared from her sight, leaving her all alone.
She gazed at the kitchen, her jaw clenching. Her steps were as light as a feather, her presence slowly diminishing. When she reached the kitchen, a thick layer of frost coated her eyes.
There, having dinner at the table, was the very familiar Quentin.
