Oscar went upstairs to get changed once the conversation between grandfather and grandson came to a close.

An hour later, the two of them arrived at Sunny Avenue and found Mr. Ywain.

Mr. Ywain was an old friend of Oscar’s who specialized in the likes of fortune-telling and esoteric medicine.

The man took a look at the herbs contained in the pack and took whiffs to identify what was in them.

He began to explain, “I can’t say for certain that this is a formula from the Adelmar Clan but to see herbs formulated this way and working this well… Only Robert Adelmar would come up with something like this.”

Oscar’s expression turned grave.

“But Robert hasn’t been in the country,” Mr. Ywain said. “Where did you get this, Oscar?”

“A girl gave this to us,” he answered. “I’ll be interrogating her.”

“In my opinion.” Mr. Ywain stroked his beard. “It wouldn’t be far-fetched to say the girl is a disciple of Robert himself.”

Oscar and Adam shared a look and left with their findings.

“Is she here to mess with the Rykers on purpose?” Adam frowned.
