The sunlight streaming through the small window wasn't enough to illuminate the entire attic; at least it wasn't pitch black.
Two bodyguards followed Shirakawa in and pinned a man down. The man's mouth was stuffed with a smelly sock, so he could only groan and make no sound.
It was like a secluded room, with everything you could want. There was a pile of men's clothes in the corner, and next to it was a washbasin and a bucket filled with water.
There was an empty plate on this side, complete with knives, forks, and spoons, and several unopened bags of bread next to it.
Judging from this, they must have lived here for a long time.
After looking around, Eddie immediately walked over to the bodyguard. He squatted down and grabbed the chin of the person being held down. Although many years had passed, Eddie recognized him at a glance.
"Is it really you?" he exclaimed in shock.
…………
After getting Hartwallens down from the attic, Eddie could get a better look at him from below, where there was light.
Twenty years have passed, and everything has changed.
In Eddie's memory, Ferenc was the head of the Warrens family, second only to the emperor. Hart, as Ferenc's most trusted assistant, was also incredibly powerful. He was not only given the prestigious Warrens surname, but also drove luxury cars and lived in villas. He was arrogant and proud.
Now, you can no longer see his former arrogance and rampant behavior. Because he has been staying in the attic, a place without sunlight, for many years, his already fair skin looks even whiter, and his face is bloodless.
Having been tormented for so many years, his spirit had long since collapsed. At 1.73 meters tall, he already looked very small, and over the years he had become extremely thin, with little flesh left on his body, looking like a bloodless skeleton.
Eddie looked at the sock in his mouth and questioned the bodyguard, "What's going on here?"
The bodyguard replied respectfully, "He tried to bite us when we went up, so we gagged him."
I see.
Seeing Hart glaring angrily at him, Eddie gave a cold smile and squatted down to look at him.
“Hart, it’s been a long time. I never thought you were still alive.”
Ferenc died back then, but the cunning Hart escaped, and no one knows where he went.
They thought he had died somewhere long ago, but they never expected that he would still be alive and kicking in this world all these years, right under their noses!
Eddie finally understood why Nina Herman had chosen this house back then.
When arranging for Mrs. Hermann and her son, Li Yuan instructed that they should not be allowed to live on the first or second floor, for fear that they might have ulterior motives and try to escape. Later, when they found this impoverished community, Mrs. Hermann applied to live on the top floor when choosing a floor.
The bodyguards were only notified not to live on the first or second floor, but Mrs. Hermann chose the top floor. If she lived on the top floor, she would have no way to escape, so her request was approved.
Unexpectedly, they chose the top floor not because they were content with their fate, but because they wanted to hide Hart, who was wanted by Ling Yin and Warrens!
Hart glared angrily at Eddie, who struggled desperately like a madman. But because he had lived in darkness for many years, his body and mind had been severely damaged. He was not even as strong as a cat. He was held down by two bodyguards. At first, he could move a little, but soon he was held down tightly and could not move at all.
Even so, Eddie could still clearly see the hatred in his eyes.
