Chapter 477
Tarquin’s eyes narrowed, “Right now p>
“Just a moment ago, I followed him out of the neighborhood, and before I could even tell you, he spotted me p>
Tarquin was surprised, “He spotted you first p>
“Yeah! And we exchanged a couple of moves; he’s really skilled!” Axel’s voice was heavy.
Tarquin’s expression grew even darker.
True to his name, Axel was swift and sharp, moving like a shadow. It was rare for someone to notice him tailing them, let alone acknowledge his skills.
In the world of martial arts, being second best always meant you were no match for the top dog. And in that world, Axel was the top dog!
So, when Axel says this mystery guy is good, it means he could at least hold his own against Axel.
This was not good news for them. After all, this mystery person was out for blood, making him an enemy.
Tarquin, with a grim face, asked Axel, “Are you hurt p>
“No, and he isn’t either p>
“Where are you now p>
“Outside the neighborhood. I lost him after he figured me out. He engaged with me just to gauge my skills. After sizing me up, he just chuckled and ran off p>
“Does he know you p>
“I don’t know. We didn’t talk; he didn’t mention my name p>
“Did you see his face p>
“No! He was wearing a mask and sunglasses. Couldn’t see a thing p>
“Can you tell if it was a man or a woman p>
“Hard to say in the dark, and with all that gear on, couldn’t make out if it was a man or woman. But, Blossom is a suspect.” “Blossom p>
“Yeah, the mystery person came out of the building where Blossom lives, apartment 2 in building 10, right after she got home. And about half an hour before, Blossom had just returned. It’s suspicious timing, considering she left the building shortly after getting home p>
“You think Blossom changed clothes and went out again p>
“Exactly. She’s been caught dumping stray cat bodies multiple times, and the timing tonight just adds up. Plus, when I had someone knock on her door while I was tailing the mystery person, there was no answer, even though the lights were on. Can’t be sure she was actually home p>
If Axel had been tailing the mystery person while Blossom was confirmed to be at home, she could be ruled out. But now, with no response at her door, her suspicion grew.
Tarquin frowned deeply, lost in thought.
He couldn’t believe it was Blossom.
Blossom, the daughter of Professor Folly, came from a reputable background. Aside from her parents being well-known academics, Blossom herself was as ordinary as they come!
Moreover, she had no reason to be their enemy, nor was there any motive related to Elysia that would make sense.
But, considering Blossom was not as sharp as Elysia and was known for her naivety, it wasn’t impossible she was being used by the mystery person. “Find a way to test Blossom as soon as possible p>
Blossom was not only close to Elysia and the three kids but also had interactions with Elijah. If Blossom was involved, Elijah could be in danger. They needed clarity, and fast.
“And, now that we know this guy is skilled, be extra cautious. Catching him comes second, your safety comes first p>
Catching this mystery person was crucial, but not as critical as Axel’s wellbeing.
“Got it p>
After hanging up, Tarquin took a deep drag from his cigarette, weighed down by his thoughts.
This mystery person was becoming his biggest concern.
