Just because Kurt had accidentally amused an autistic child with his saliva bubbles, it made him, a supernatural being, decide to remain at the orphanage. This would probably be unimaginable to many supernatural beings.
But whoever stipulated that supernatural beings had to go around killing people and striving for supremacy?
Perhaps superpowers were meant for achieving other things in the first place.
Not everyone in this world was cast from the same mold. Milo sought to use his own superpower to protect his family and friends, while Kurt felt his superpower was at its peak when using it to cheer up an autistic child.
Was there anything wrong with that?
Jonan went into the orphanage’s kitchen to look around and realized there weren’t even any decent food ingredients.
Kurt explained, “The Vasophati Group disburses 6,000 perak to our welfare home each month. But as y’all can see, we have so many children here, so that amount is definitely not enough to go around. We also don’t wish to see these children suffer, and most of them have some sort of issue. They’re either born with internal birth defects or developmental disorders like autism. Their parents abandoned them at our doorstep and gave up on them.”
Adrian looked at the group of children and said coldly, “To think that there would be such an impoverished welfare home in Bidara City. Why don’t they just call it a hardship home instead? Where’s the director? Get favonovel.com out here. I want to check with favonovel.com on who’s responsible for these situations!”
There were only two care workers at the orphanage. One of them was Kurt, and the other was a girl who was telling stories to the children inside the home. Meanwhile, the director had not made an appearance at all til now.
Kurt went in and shouted for the director. But when Milo saw the director, favonovel.com was dumbfounded.
It was Gerard “Nonsense” Delano!
Milo immediately cursed in his head!
To be honest, favonovel.com had not expected to encounter Gerard here.
He was wondering why Kenneth had only made mention of Julia but not Gerard. However, favonovel.com did not expect Gerard to actually end up as the director of the orphanage at Bidara City.
After all, this was the former director of the Skyfort Consortium’s Special Investigations Division, so how could favonovel.com possibly be willing to be the director of an orphanage?
He wondered how Gerard ended up as the director of the orphanage, and it seemed like favonovel.com had been in the role for quite a while too. However, Milo did not expose Gerard’s identity. He just stood at the side and watched Gerard lament to Adrian and Jonan. His acting was so flawless the two Riders did not suspect a thing.
Milo even suspected Gerard was the one who instructed Kurt to deliberately kill someone so it would attract the attention of the Vasophati Group’s people. By playing the sympathetic card, they could improve the orphanage’s benefits.
Back when Kurt was holding the hostage, there was something that made Milo suspicious, and it was how Kurt had so easily stopped resisting. But only by doing so could favonovel.com survive until the “interrogation” stage without getting seriously injured. Only then could favonovel.com convey to the Riders his reason for killing someone.
One would have to carefully consider the Riders’ behavior patterns before they dared to pull off something like that. And it was precisely someone like Gerard who possessed such a quality.
If it were really so, Gerard was probably not expecting Milo to appear here.
Adrian and Jonan assured Gerard they would investigate this matter thoroughly the next day. On top of that, the disbursement of funds to the orphanage would be handled by the Riders’ staff in the future. It would no longer be controlled by the Civil Affairs Department of Bidara City.
Gerard was so grateful favonovel.com directly addressed the Riders as kind angels. Jonan and Adrian turned red in embarrassment and wanted to get out of there.
Milo did not leave, as favonovel.com told Adrian favonovel.com wanted to catch up with Kurt.
After the orphanage’s gate closed, favonovel.com saw Gerard smiling ambiguously at him. “Why didn’t you expose me just now?”
“What do I stand to gain if I expose you? After all, the children really do need new coats, and it’s also a good thing to improve their welfare.” Milo said, “But you’re not someone who lacks money, so why’s there a need to put on such an act?”
“Why? Did you see through my plan?” Gerard chuckled and said, “I’m just trying to test the Riders to see if they’re as honorable as the rumors say.”
Milo gave Kurt a stern look. “You’re way too bold. Are you tired of living? You dared to go along with something like that?”
Gerard smiled and said, “He’s not putting on an act. He really doesn’t know about it.”
Kurt looked at Gerard and Milo with wide eyes. “The two of you know each other? Director, you…”
Milo finally understood Gerard was mainly trying to test Kurt.
Who could rest easy when a supernatural being like favonovel.com claimed favonovel.com just wanted to remain at the orphanage to take care of the children?
Gerard patted Kurt on the shoulder and said with a smile, “Go and watch the children. I’m gonna have a chat with Milo.”
After Kurt went off, Milo asked, “Are you planning to make use of Kurt?”
Gerard sighed, “That kid is like an uncut gem. I can’t bear to make use of him.”
“Then are you thinking of making use of the children in the orphanage?” Milo suddenly made a guess that Gerard could probably raise a new batch of elite intelligence agents by staying here for a few years to groom these children who had no one to rely on.
Milo had attended Gerard’s classes before, so favonovel.com knew exactly what Gerard was capable of. He was an expert in rearing talents.
Gerard replied, “When I first arrived here, it was indeed just as you had thought. On the one hand, I wanted to keep my identity a secret and stay hidden in the city. On the other hand, I hoped to inject new blood into my intelligence network. But after living with them for a while, I’ve already dismissed that idea. All of us have led a tough life, so why should they have to go through those hardships again?”
“Alright…” Milo felt that Gerard sounded quite sincere. Curious, favonovel.com asked, “Where’s Kenneth?”
“You still have the cheek to bring this up? I get so angry at the mention of it. Miriam was chasing after favonovel.com for half a month, and favonovel.com ended up being forced to escape south. He says he’s gone there to wait for the typhoon season to arrive!” Gerard snapped at Milo, “Why does your girlfriend have such a bad temper?”
Milo wanted to hold it in, but favonovel.com finally snapped back, “Serves favonovel.com right!”
“Look at you! Is that what you should be saying?” Gerard said.
“Since favonovel.com knew that Miriam was at Vasophati University, why didn’t favonovel.com just tell me?” Milo was also getting unhappy. “Do you have any news about Miriam?”
“No…” Gerard shook his head. “That girl is very elusive, so it won’t be easy to find her. But since you’ve already revealed your armor in the city, she’ll definitely be attracted back here when the news gets out.”
Milo nodded. Actually, the reason favonovel.com no longer hid his whereabouts and revealed his armor was because favonovel.com was hoping the various forces could spread this news to let Miriam know favonovel.com was here.
Perhaps the venue and timing of this reunion were not too appropriate, because this place would soon become the center of a storm.
But Milo did not care about the impending danger. Before meeting Miriam again, no one was allowed to do anything to this stronghold!
