“If it was you, would you be able to still your mind? Your children and family are being controlled byothers, and even your own freedom is being restricted. All you can do is sit and wait like a loser in aplace like this. Can you keep your mind still under such circumstances?” “I can.

If not, I wouldn't have been able to stay here for the past few decades,” said the old monk with asmile. Sebastian was about to drink from his teacup when he stopped. The snow was still fallingoutside. The wind had not stopped either. However, at that moment, when he looked at the oldmonk, it was as if he had temporarily forgotten his frustration.

All Sebastian saw was the smiling face of the old monk. The past few decades. So, who exactly is he?He was able to save us from Louis and has been staying at the temple for so long. What is his realidentity? “Who exactly are you?” In the end, Sebastian could not help but ask.

The old monk chuckled heartily again. "Mr. Hayes, you've asked me this question umpteen times.Haven't I already told you? My name is Master Abner, the abbot of this temple.” “No, you're not.You're probably related to him,” murmured Sebastian while cradling his cup of tea.

The old monk was in the midst of placing a chess piece down, but he paused mid-air for a briefmoment before continuing. Sebastian noticed that and continued, “Louis said his power is prevalent,and I was defeated by him in the end as well. Yet your temple is right under his nose and doing well.That could only mean the two of you must know each other and go a long way back.” “Haha...” Theold monk laughed once again. However, this time, he did not beat around the bush. His silencecould also be taken as an admission. There was even a slither of approval in his eyes.

The old monk seemed to be praising the young man for his intelligence. “So, what kind ofconnection do you think I have with him?” “Louis is the founding father of the country. The ten menwho fought alongside him back then were awarded medals, but they have been slaughtered by me.Therefore, you're not one of them.” “All right. Who do you think I am then?” The old monk becamemore interested in Sebastian's guess. Even though it was regarding his own identity, he still held theteacup and eyed the young man with interest. He reminded Sebastian of a busybody waiting tolisten to some juicy gossip.

"Are you his son?” Pfft! The old monk spat out a mouthful of tea onto the chessboard. Well, well.Good job, you brat! It took the old monk a long time before he cleared his throat and put the cupdown. “Mr. Hayes, you have a wild imagination. Louis is eighty this year. As for myself, I'm aroundsixty-odd years of age.

Do you think Louis became a father around the age of ten?” Sebastian stopped talking. Can't thepeople back then conceive when they are at that age? Still, because of the strong reaction of the oldmonk, Sebastian dismissed that theory. In the afternoon, Sasha returned to have lunch and heardabout the incident.

She did not think it was possible, but it made her think of someone. “Do you remember something?Back then when Sophie invited me to the Limmer family’s Golden Heights, I saw their family tree.Apparently, Louis has a younger brother.”

"A younger brother?” “That's right. They fought together, and Louis later became the foundingfather. Nothing is mentioned further about the brother. Do you think the old monk might be hisyounger brother?” Sasha analyzed the situation. Sebastian frowned but did not comment. It was nottheir fault.

They were too young to know about the generation before them. On top of that, they were beingheld captive there. It would be even harder to replace out the truth. Little did they realize that Karlwould sneak up the mountain that night. “Mr. Hayes..."

“What are you doing here? Do you know how dangerous it is?" The couple, who had been wokenup in the middle of the night, became worried when they saw their loyal subordinate. Karl could notbe bothered. After braving the snow and seeing the two of them, he took out something that waswrapped with paper.

“Mr. Hayes, take a look at this. During the time when we were being held captive at SteelFort, wefound this when we were sorting out the old stuff.” Sebastian took the item. The light in the corridorwas dim. Before he could see anything, he felt something cold and metallic touch his skin.

By the time he opened up everything, a golden item appeared in front of him. “Is this a medal?”Sasha's eyes widened in disbelief. A medal. That's right. It's another medal! Sebastian saw it as well.Those things irritated and irked him. Hatred oozed from his eyes, and he felt like throwing it away.
