The Vanguard tracked the surveillance around their headquarters and finally found a trace of evidence.

However, when the deputy team followed the clue to 111 Goldbloom, the people inside had already left.

The deputy team touched the bathroom glass door, still stained with steam, and gritted his teeth, "Just a step too late!"

"What should we do, deputy?" a team member asked, "This is the old city, there’s barely any surveillance nearby, we’ve checked them all, but we can’t find where they went."

The deputy thought for a moment, frowned, and said, "Instruct the people at each checkpoint that the escapee is likely trying to leave Crestfall, have them strengthen the scrutiny of those leaving."

"Yes!"

"Also, collect fingerprints from this room, don’t miss any clues."

"Yes!"

The members of The Vanguard efficiently got to work.

On the other side, Damian Knight, who was watching Summer Monroe eat, received a call from the deputy team.

After listening to the report, Damian Knight’s expression turned grim.

He hung up the phone and recounted to Summer Monroe the situation the deputy had described, then said, "I’ll take you back to Redleaf Manor first."

"And you?"

"I’m going to Goldbloom to see if there’s any trace left."

Summer Monroe immediately stood up and said, "I’ll go with you."

Her gaze was resolute, leaving Damian Knight no room to refuse.

Damian Knight had no choice but to reluctantly agree. 𝒇𝓻𝓮𝓮𝙬𝙚𝒃𝒏𝓸𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝓬𝓸𝒎

The two of them bid farewell to the manager and prepared to leave.

The manager inquired, "Boss, about what that foreigner mentioned..."

Summer Monroe shook her head and said, "He hasn’t contacted me, but if he comes again, just ignore him."

"Understood."

Summer Monroe thought for a moment and added, "When you have time, mention to the head chef about our plan to open a chain. In the future, he can stake his skills in shares."

The manager, being astute, immediately understood that Summer Monroe wanted to prevent the head chef from being poached.

"Okay, take care."

The two of them got in the car, and Damian Knight asked curiously, "What were you talking about with that foreigner earlier?"

"A guest said he wanted to acquire Luna Restaurant."

Damian Knight nodded, "He has quite an eye then."

Summer Monroe couldn’t help but laugh and said, "What a pity, no matter who it is, I won’t sell Luna Restaurant."

Luna Restaurant holds great personal significance for her, not only did Damian Knight gift it to her, but it was also her mother’s favorite place. She wants Luna Restaurant to expand globally.

But now, the most important thing is to find Stella Monroe.

...

Driving cautiously all the way, even when there were five seconds left on a green light before it turned red, Damian Knight would stop.

When by himself, even if the light had turned yellow, he would step on the gas and rush through.

A thirty-minute drive turned into more than forty minutes before they arrived at Goldbloom.

"Captain." The deputy team came up immediately upon seeing Damian Knight and said, "We found that this house is vacant, and the owner had passed away long ago. We don’t know how those people found this place."

"What about the surveillance?"

"There’s barely any surveillance nearby, our only option is to check the fingerprints from this room."

"Understood." Damian Knight nodded his head, then turned to see Summer Monroe crouched by a chair, staring intently at something.

He and the deputy team walked over and inquired, "Sadie, did you find something?"

Summer Monroe pointed to something similar to skin flakes on the ground and said, "This."

Damian Knight and the deputy leaned closer and saw these things scattered all over, thin as a cicada’s wing, nearly transparent, almost invisible unless you looked carefully.
