I was stunned for a moment. He did not look away from me and said, "Arianna, no matter what happens, you have to first keep yourself safe. Don't worry about me. Whatever happens, just protect yourself."
I was still speechless. I didn't understand why he was suddenly saying such things to me. I looked at him in confusion, "Hendrix, is there something you're not telling me?"
He gave me a small smile, not answering my question. He drove to the hotel.
When we reached the hotel, I was tired. After taking a shower, I had a lot of things in mind to ask him, but because I was too sleepy, I fell asleep on the bed almost instantly.
The next day.
When I woke up, Hendrix was already up and was making a call on the balcony.
He heard me approach and ended the call. He looked at me and said, "We're going to Hayes Manor later. We'll leave after you wash up."
I nodded. That was our purpose for the trip after all
At Hayes Manor.
When we were in the car, Hendrix told me about the Hayes Family's long history. During the war, they relied on reselling weapons. Later, Master Roberts was brought back to the mainland, and he grew up there. After a few years of peace in the country, Master Hayes somehow got dragged back into the war. Later on, he met a group of old comrades, that was when Master Roberts and Master Hayes met. Of course, this included Naomi's grandfather, Ziglar. These old comrades had all experienced life and death together. Therefore, even though they now lived in different parts of the world, they still think of each other.
