Chapter 643: Section 453: Dominoes (Part 3)
"I’m searching for an answer, my Sophia," he sighed, "why she died, but I won’t have that answer anymore."
The old man sitting in front of Malin sighed. To Malin, he seemed to have completely lost faith; he was moving sorrowfully toward his end. Malin wondered whether he should tell him the truth about the girl—that she, like Colin, was just an experimental subject produced there.
She was an adopted daughter, a child that was picked up. Her parentage was related to the Casters, which led to the glory of the Mischael family.
In the end, they chose to completely side with the Casters. In Malin’s view, this was not a betrayal, but the other families were shocked by the transformation of the Mischael family. They instinctively sensed danger, thinking that the Mischael family had embraced Chaos and eventually chose to carry out a massacre.
Speaking of Sophia, the girl was outstanding. Sadly, in the end, she couldn’t escape the fate of being an experimental subject.
She died, and her death appeared very mysterious to outsiders. It’s impossible for a girl in her teens to die suddenly. Malin’s stepfather sought the murderer who killed her, without realizing that he would never find the culprit.
Even more, he got absorbed by the Casters and became their assistant in collecting materials.
Up to now, he hasn’t understood that he’s been collaborating with the real murderer. His actions... were merely creating more suffering for the Casters.
Thus Malin ultimately couldn’t bring himself to reveal the truth, and he understood why old Hoffman sighed when mentioning his foster father—he must know something, aware that Gaiate would never find the truth.
Considering his father’s poor condition, Malin specially prepared breakfast for him using powder made from the World Tree’s Acorns and stopped him from thinking of leaving.
"Father, don’t go. Stay in Carterburg."
