Chapter 717

“Mommy, we‘re fine!”

“Mommy, we saved Karl!”

Alden and George stared at Adina obediently with their brilliant eyes.

Adina felt as if a huge weight had been lifted off of her chest.

She held Alden and George‘s hands in hers and went inside the house together.

Karl changed his shoes at the entrance of the foyer. He smelled something aromatic and said with
exaggeration, “Smells awesome! Is that a Cairnstanian dish? Looks tasty!”

When Alden and George were with Terry, Adina prepared a table of dishes.

The children and adults sat around the table and took their meals.

Karl praised non–stopped as he ate the food. “Adina, you‘re a great cook. Your dishes are scrumptious.
It‘s no wonder your sons are so clever.”

“Stop talking , will you?” The corners of Flint‘s mouth twitched. Karl was almost turning thirty, still, he
seemed so unreliable.

After he was half full, Karl stroked his chin and asked, “ Have you ever wondered why Terry wears a
mask?”

Harold blinked his large eyes and said, “Most superheroes wear a mask, too. For example , Superman,
Kid the Phantom Thief, Ninja Turtles…”



“Well, I was going to say that he looks ugly,” Karl said dryly. “I think his face was scarred when he killed
Auguste. As such, he looks very ugly and dares not to show his true form.”

Alden recalled George‘s unusual behavior when they were at Terry‘s mansion.

He turned his head around and asked, “George , did you notice anything unusual?”

George opened his mouth and was going to say something. However, he suppressed his nonsensical
thoughts and did not speak them out.

If he told them that Terry‘s voice was similar to his father‘s, would this cause unnecessary fantasy to his
mother and siblings?

The higher the expectation, the greater the disappointment. “I think Terry is not as bloodthirsty and
ruthless as the legend has it,” said George. “Besides, he gave us the name list without hesitation.”

Flint brought his computer over. “Let‘s see what kind of name list he has given to us.”

After he inserted the hard disk into the computer, a folder popped up. True enough, it was an internal
military document that showed the name list of Astroysians who had joined the military in the recent
month.

Adina pursed her lips and said, “Each of us is going to scan the names on the list. We‘ll select the
names that are monosyllabic and have similar phonetics.”

They assigned the work among themselves, and each of them was given more than a hundred names.

They finished checking the names from the list within twenty minutes.

There were only about ten names with similar phonetics and monosyllables as Duke. Moreover, the ten
people‘s ages and areas were mismatched with Duke‘s.



In other words, Duke was not inside the Black Party‘s military camp.

Adina and her group looked solemn.

If they could not find Duke among the commoners and military at Hestia Border , did this show that
Duke had…

Adina tried to suppress the thought of Duke‘s likely death as soon as it entered her mind.

She strongly believed that Duke was not dead.

Duke would strive to survive for the sake of her and their children…

She felt the tip of her nose sore, and tears began to well up in her eyes. She turned around and wiped
the corners of her eyes, trying to hold back her tears.

Bam! Bam! Bam!

Someone knocked on the mansion‘s door loudly.

Adina rose and went to the side of the door. She saw two bodyguards in green military uniforms. She
looked cold.

She turned her head around and whispered, “Flint, take the children upstairs.”

Flint pursed his lips. “Hide yourself and your children. Let me handle them.”
