Chapter 76: Ch 76 Thomas’s Archives
Klaus drove his supercar through the winding roads of the countryside, William seated calmly beside him.
The early morning light painted the rolling hills and dense forests in soft hues. After approximately an hour of travel, the car approached its destination.
The landscape began to shift, the scattered farmlands giving way to a hidden, secluded valley. The air grew cooler here, a fresh scent of pine and damp earth replacing the city’s lingering odors.
A colossal mansion, almost double the size of William’s city residence, came into view.
It was not merely large, it was an imposing structure, built from dark, weathered stone that seemed to emerge naturally from the landscape.
Its architecture suggested that it was hundereds of years old.
It was situated at the bottommost point of a secluded valley, entirely surrounded by towering mountains on two sides.
These mountains, massive and silent, covered in ancient trees and jagged rock formations, provided a natural, formidable defense, isolating the mansion completely from the outside world.
As the supercar approached the main gates, a grand, wrought-iron structure adorned with intricate, unidentifiable symbols, a signboard became visible.
It read, in bold, carved into dark wood: "Bennet Ancestral Home." The massive gates swung open silently as the car approached, a long winding driveway, paved with dark, smooth stone, led them deeper into the sprawling estate.
As the car entered the mansion grounds, several black-suited security personnel, their forms solid and watchful, emerged from their hidden positions.
They walked in a uniform formation alongside the vehicle, their hands were resting subtly on the hilts of concealed weapons.
