Captivated by the Ruler of the Underworld
Chapter 401 Handle the Mess Alone

Sylvester lounged on the living room sofa in light yellow loungewear, gold-rimmed glasses perched on his nose, giving off a gentle vibe. His long legs were casually crossed, and he held a sea pearl with a pinkish-purple sheen in his hand, gently stroking it, exuding an undeniable aura of authority.

In his left hand, he held Robbie's phone, staring at a portrait sent by his subordinate, deep in thought. The background of the portrait was clearly the temple within the Island Nation.

During this exploration of the Island Nation, they didn't find members of The Immortal Man, but they did uncover several important clues. One was that King Max of the Island Nation had dug up all the sea pearl clams around the Holy Light Tribe and sent them to his ailing queen. Another was this portrait. The message from his subordinate said that the person in the portrait was a medical expert from Pliar country who had treated the Island Nation's people during a viral epidemic. To honor him, the Island Nation's king had a portrait made, which now hung in the temple as a sacred item! And now, this person resided in the palace.

Robbie stood respectfully to the side, looking down at the portrait on the phone, a thought suddenly flashing through his mind. He quickly said, "Sylvester, I have a discovery."

Sylvester leaned back slightly, casually handed the phone to Robbie with his left hand, and then lifted his eyelids to glance at Robbie, "How could your brain find something useful?"

Robbie took the phone, his mouth twitching.

Robbie was stunned, unsure whether he should speak or not.

"Why aren't you speaking?"

Robbie touched his nose and began, "The information collected by the subordinates says that this person is skilled in Pliar country's medical techniques, and his facial features are also similar to those of other members of The Divine Doctor Association. Lela's master was from The Divine Doctor Association and passed away at a young age. Do you think these two could be the same person?"

Hearing this, Sylvester raised an eyebrow and looked at Robbie, "Bravo! You're starting to get smart.

"But don't tell Lela about this."

Robbie was puzzled, "Why? If these two are really the same person, Lela should be happy."

He thought to himself, 'If this person really is Lela's mentor Robert, and if Robert is still alive, Lela would be quite happy, right?'

Sylvester's voice was cool. "Happy?"

This matter was not that simple!

He mused, 'If Lela knew about this, with her intelligence, she'd probably be quite upset once she thought it through.

'And if we dig deeper, if there's some covert connection between the Island Nation and the Holy Light Tribe, then could The Immortal Man have ties to the Island Nation as well? 'Furthermore, what's the connection between The Immortal Man and this divine doctor?'

'I have to explore these questions, but Lela must never find out.

'If my suspicions prove true, it would only make her more distraught.

'So, no matter what I uncover or the truths I discover, I'll bear the burden alone.

'Let me handle the mess alone.

'Lela just needs to stay by my side, remain healthy and happy, and pursue whatever she wishes. That's all that matters.'
