In the basement, Abel had been working continuously for yet another 18 hours, but his bloodshot eyes still revealed his high spirits.

At that moment, Michael suddenly went downstairs to the basement.

The moment he appeared, he asked, “What’s wrong? Any news about the Phantom Wolf?”

Abel rubbed his temple in exhaustion. “The lip prints and fingerprints that we lifted from Sophia matched the ones left by Phantom Wolf at the crime scene. We are 100% sure that the fingerprints belong to him, but we are unable to identify who he is. We can only wait for him to appear again.”

Michael handed the diary to Abel.

“Subconsciously, he read the verse, “If the city generals were present, the barbarians’ horses would never have crossed the mountains.” This verse and this handwriting…

He tightly furrowed his brows in such a way that a bug could be squashed in between. “Where did you get this from?”

Michael replied, “The handwriting must seem familiar to you. Scan it first to make sure that it is really his.”

Abel quickly turned and started to scan the verse adopted from the poem ‘War’ on the notebook.

Coop’s handwriting was registered into their database. Abel then retrieved the information about the images and handwriting belonging to the Mitchell Family. In less than a minute, the system found the person in Mitchell Family whose handwriting matched the ones on the diary—and the photo of a young man appeared on the display screen.

 

The man in the photo was a really young man, who looked like he was less than 30 years old. He was handsome with prominent mixed-race facial features. He had deep eyes, a sharp nose, and high cheekbones with a slight curl at the corner of his lips, which seemed like a king’s dominant smile.

Upon seeing that face, Michael was stunned and a name that made his body and soul tremble escaped his lips. “Cooper Mitchell!”
