Twisted Dreams-Chapter 271 - 338: The Mysterious Father

The Evolver lifted the trash can lid, and a stench surged forth, choking the Evolver's nostrils.

The Evolver's five senses are stronger than normal people, with a sense of smell similar to that of a hunting dog.

The contents of this trash can were so foul that the Evolver's face turned green, and he dropped the lid like he'd been shocked, covering his nose and cursing:

"Get this thing out of here!

Damn it, there should be an order that forbids anyone from bringing a trash can upstairs!"

Actually, wheeled trash cans shouldn't be brought above the ninth floor. This is a rule set by the restaurant to accommodate high-level employees.

Apparently, many of the high-level employees didn't know about this rule.

Reid apologized repeatedly, pushing the trash can into the freight elevator, pressing the button for the fourth basement floor.

That's the garbage disposal area, where a still-running garbage truck is parked.

Reid tossed the trash can into the garbage truck's container and drove the truck towards the outside.

He showed his employee card at the first checkpoint, and at the second checkpoint, he displayed an access permit that practically cost him his entire fortune to acquire.

This access permit came from the owner of the garbage truck who likely fled overnight.

(The author used to work abroad, and a lot of details should be written here, but to avoid suspicion of padding, we'll leave it out.)

Reid left the second checkpoint, slammed the gas pedal, and drove towards the direction of his home in the suburbs.

.....

In the suburbs, a small town, an independent house.

Reid got out of the car and hurriedly opened the garbage container, helping Su Yutang out.

Su Yutang felt dizzy and nauseous, a sensation that constantly swept over her.

When was the last time she, who always wore custom clothes and sprayed high-end perfumes, ever touched trash?

During the couple of hours in the car, Su Yutang felt she was tortured to death.

Reid hurried to support Su Yutang, apologetically asking:

"President Su, are you alright?" 𝕗𝗿𝕖𝐞𝐰𝗲𝕓𝐧𝕠𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝐨𝚖

Su Yutang wanted to vomit, but she held it back for the sake of her image. She said:

"You do have a place to shower, right?"

She had to take a shower quickly and change into clean clothes.

Otherwise, looking like this would be too suspicious, making it hard to return to Xia Country.

Reid nodded repeatedly:

"Yes, yes, come with me."

Su Yutang added:

"I also need a phone."

.....

Reid indeed had a daughter, about seventeen or eighteen, in her youthful prime.

His daughter worked at a fast-food restaurant in New City, but today she was called home by her father.

Having taken someone from the God Creation Group, his daughter certainly couldn't live alone in New City; it was way too dangerous.

Reid had his plans; he wanted to live incognito up north.

His daughter was in her bedroom packing her luggage, constantly complaining:

"I really don't get why you're suddenly making me leave.

I don't want to live in the countryside; I haven't even graduated from college!

You're always so assertive; it's no wonder Mom left you.

If I didn't worry that you'd drink yourself to death, I would have gone with Mom.

Who the hell is that woman from Xia Country? Where's this garbage truck from? And what happened to your small car?

You don't tell me anything that's happened; sometimes I feel like I'm adopted. Are you really my dad?"

His daughter's nonstop chatter actually showed a lot of concern for her father.

Reid worked hard mainly to save more money for her.

Reid kept apologizing, opened his computer, and clicked on the [Seven Commandments] software.

He found the backend and submitted task completion.

The screen displayed:

[Thank you for everything you've contributed to the Seven Commandments Association.

Devout Knight, you have been promoted to a Missionary.

Within three days, the Undead Technique symbolizing a Missionary's identity will be delivered to you.]

Reid became excited, palms sweating.

He believed in Death God, believed in the Seven Commandments Association, believed that Undead Techniques truly existed in the world.

The bathroom door opened.

Su Yutang emerged like a lotus coming out of water, drying her hair, wearing Reid's daughter's clothes.

She placed the phone on the coffee table, sat on the sofa, crossed her legs, scrutinizing Reid:

"Thank you, but why did you save me? Who exactly are you?"

Reid's face grew serious, saying:

"I'm Reid, a Missionary of the Seven Commandments Association; nothing more can be said."

Reid's daughter packed her luggage while eavesdropping.

The Seven Commandments Association, a Missionary, it seems her father has joined some mysterious organization, and holds a high status.

Her eyes hid surprise. Could her seemingly naive father have some mysterious identity?

She sneaked a peek at Su Yutang.

This woman had such great aura; even wearing her cheap clothes, she looked model-like.

Definitely not average.

This beauty said, her father had saved her?

What's all this about?

Su Yutang's brain raced.

She speculated that the Seven Commandments Association might be an organization worshiping Death God, and Reid was completing a task for them.

It's astounding that the Seven Commandments Association knew her identity.

Well...perhaps the leaders of the Seven Commandments Association are members of the Demon Club.

This thought made sense.

Su Yutang felt slightly excited, realizing the Demon Club hadn't forgotten her.

"What are your next steps? Tell me your plan."

Su Yutang asked.

Reid described his future plan.

He intended to take his daughter far away to start anew, leaving Zhige City.

Su Yutang raised her eyebrows:

"Just that?"

Su Yutang confirmed that Reid was merely a believer in Death God, without any formal training.

The plan he proposed was painfully naive.

If he went ahead with his plans, Reid would definitely be caught by the God Creation Organization by tomorrow.

Su Yutang stood up, saying:

"You must come with me now, this place is unsafe. I will take you to Xia Country."

Reid waved his hand:

"No need to bother, I will soon receive the miraculous powers bestowed by Death God to protect myself and my daughter."

Su Yutang was speechless.

Even someone as powerful as herself struggled to withstand a single round against Jin; she couldn't believe that this newbie yet to enter the Extraordinary Realm could resist the God Creation Group.

Su Yutang spoke seriously:

"You don't understand the God Creation Group; their power is beyond your imagination.

You must take your documents and come with me now; my people are waiting at the airport."

Reid hesitated.

Su Yutang continued:

"In Xia Country, I'll provide you with a good job, and ensure your daughter can attend college."

Reid's eyes widened, filled with delight.

His own job was negotiable, but letting his daughter attend college was an incredibly tempting offer.

He swallowed hard and said:

"No trouble at all, President Su, the Seven Commandments Association has already rewarded me."

Su Yutang said:

"What the Seven Commandments Association gave you is theirs; what I give you is mine. Quickly, pack your things."

"Okay!" Reid nodded emphatically and hurriedly packed his belongings.

Reid's daughter's face revealed shock, then delight.

She missed one chance to attend college, and surely wanted to study abroad.

But the cost was too high, something her ordinary family couldn't afford.

Reid's daughter took a secret glance at Su Yutang, then at her father.

This woman must be extraordinary!

Just who was her father to earn gratitude like this from such a woman?

Reid's daughter felt like she was the protagonist's child in a TV drama.

Reid's daughter began to imagine secretly.

The mysterious protagonist leads an incognito life, then the organization delivers a mission, forcing the protagonist to carry it out head-on.

Eventually, the protagonist completes the mission, saving a female CEO abroad, but at the cost of ending a peaceful life.

Reid's daughter had to admit it sounded a bit juvenile, yet her speculation wasn't far off the mark.

In her eyes, Reid, just an ordinary middle-aged man, became unfathomable.
