Chapter 196: All had been wiped out
As soon as Tyrone wrapped everything up, he finally got the time to visit Carlos. The current Mirage Historian was the one that Aire referred to that could answer all of his questions pertaining to the Voyager’s Watch and the ordeals revolving around it. Although Aire knew everything about the Voyager’s Watch, he was not careless to ask and compromise her daughter knowing about the ordeal she would face in case any details from her would cause alterations on the preordained future.
Driving the car to the address, he stopped at a flower shop he managed to pass by. The sun was setting already by then, and the flower shop was about to close.
He had a smile as he quickly asked for a bouquet of red roses. It was for Raine to congratulate her on the job well done in saving Xander, as well as for the innocent lives saved in the process. Red roses suited her best and he could not wait to tease her about it, a beauty with thorns.
Going back inside the car, he still wore that beautiful smile on his face as he opened his car’s glove box, checking the small box that he kept inside. It was something he bought when he went out with Aire and the latter bought presents for the others. He opened it, letting out a sigh of mixed excitement and nervousness. It was a ring with a red diamond in the center accentuated by small white diamonds encircling in it. It was a rare gem like Raine.
Grabbing the ring, he put it inside the envelope with the bouquet of roses alongside his note. He was overflowing with love for Raine, and he longed to show it to her openly like this. She deserved the wonderful things he was giving her, and this was only the beginning. He couldn’t wait to do a lot of stuff with Raine in the future and give her everything he had...
He placed the bouquet on the passenger’s seat and started the engine to drive back up on the road toward his destination. Arriving, the security at the gate let him in as soon as he mentioned his name. He then parked the car and saw an old man approaching him as he went out.
"You finally arrived. A bit later than I expected though," the old man commented. It was the first time that Tyrone had met the old man, who instantly introduced himself, "I am Carlos."
Tyrone accepted the handshake and followed the old man as he walked inside his house. He led him into one of his secret rooms where he kept some of the important files regarding the Mirage Diaries.
"Please sit... Would you like something to drink? I’m good at brewing tea. Would you want to try it?" Carlos asked, and Tyrone nodded with a smile. He didn’t sit yet, instead only walked around inside the room as he stared at the books around him.
