Chapter 2779: Lost and Broken

Chapter 2779: Chapter 2779: Lost and Broken

"Where was it discovered, who discovered it? What was the situation around her at the time, and how was her condition?"

Julius Reed quickly walked ahead, pointing at Shadow Kims: "Give me the most detailed investigation report! Don’t miss any details."

After speaking, his figure disappeared.

When he reappeared, he was already in a room in Demarco Mount’s place.

Hiddy stood at the door, personally keeping watch.

Lillian Tompson had too many secrets. Now she was in a coma, and Hiddy was uneasy, planning to keep watch personally.

Inside the room, there was also Long Wu sitting by the bed.

On the outermost edge of the hall, a group of masters guarded.

Even the Wolf Cavalry had been called out to handle the search work down the mountain.

"How is it?" Julius Reed walked into the courtyard, asking rather urgently.

Previously, he still didn’t care much.

But now, he really owned those powers, making him have to be nervous.

The matter might really not be as simple as imagined.

There might be hidden truths within.

"She’s in a coma, and people have already been arranged to diagnose her." Hiddy grabbed Julius Reed’s hand, saying nervously: "Be careful, it might still be a conspiracy. I will guard here to ensure no one goes in."

"Alright." Julius Reed kissed Hiddy on the forehead and pushed open the room door, stepping swiftly to Lillian Tompson’s bedside.

"You’re here?" Long Wu stood up, looking at Lillian Tompson: "She is deeply comatose, showing no signs of waking up. The arranged doctors can’t find any problems."

Julius Reed didn’t speak but opened God’s Eye.

In an instant, golden light shone on Lillian Tompson.

Nothing.

Empty!

"What’s going on?" Seeing Julius Reed act, Long Wu realized the matter was not simple.

Especially... that God’s Eye.

"Her soul, which is telekinesis, has been taken away." Julius Reed retracted the power of God’s Eye, taking a deep breath: "Who on earth would do this?"

"If she really betrayed you and was silenced, then it is deserved." Long Wu looked coldly at Lillian Tompson.

Whoever betrayed Julius Reed was Long Wu’s enemy.

The former empress hated traitors the most!

But what she didn’t know was that Julius Reed hated traitors even more.

It’s just...

Is Lillian Tompson really a traitor?

"It’s still hard to say now. Until the truth is found, I am still willing to believe Lillian Tompson is innocent."

Julius Reed stood up and pressed his fingers on Lillian Tompson’s brow.

A long time ago, Lillian Tompson and Julius Reed had a conversation.

He roughly knew what Lillian Tompson thought, and also understood this girl’s helplessness and feelings for him.

So Julius Reed was still willing to believe that Lillian Tompson hadn’t betrayed him.

"Everything needs to be backed by evidence."

He worried that Long Wu might do something excessive, so he comforted: "Trust me, I will definitely find out the truth."

"Julius Reed." Long Wu looked at him, her red lips slightly parted: "I am not having issues because Lillian Tompson arranged someone to send me a necklace, but I feel she betrayed you!"

"I know." Julius Reed nodded, habitually reaching out to hug Long Wu, "Okay..."

"Get lost!"

Long Wu pushed him away, snorting lightly: "What’s this, you just kissed Hiddy outside and now want to take advantage of me?"

"Fine, I’ll go out and continue kissing Hiddy."

As Julius Reed turned, he was immediately hugged from behind by Long Wu.

"Did I let you leave? After being apart for so long, can you not even say you miss me?"

Long Wu’s tone carried resentment, sounding very aggrieved: "Everyone else is your little darling, am I nothing?"

"You... certainly are." Julius Reed turned around, gently giving Long Wu a kiss: "Wait for me to finish handling things."

"Alright, you’re busy!"

Long Wu reluctantly said, but still leaned in to give Julius Reed a kiss on the face and said: "Be careful in everything, safety first."

Finishing, she returned to the bedside, keeping watch over Lillian Tompson.

Julius Reed pushed the door to leave and saw Shadow Kims standing at the door, holding a bunch of documents in his hand.

"According to your request, the scene where Lillian Tompson was discovered and all the information is here. There are photos, text, and the people who found her." Shadow Kims pointed to a few people in the distance: "They’re all here."

"Alright, let’s go take a look." Julius Reed took the photos and walked toward those people.

"Let me ask first, when you discovered her back then, Lillian Tompson was just lying by the pool?" Julius Reed held a photo, studying it carefully.

In the photo, Lillian Tompson was lying sideways by the river.

It seemed she had been comatose for a long time.

"That’s right. We were ordered to patrol, and when we got to the riverbank, we saw Lillian Tompson. She is your maid, and we all know her."

A patrol team member said: "So we took photos, strictly following Mr. Shadow’s instructions to preserve the scene and brought her back."

"She was unconscious, and we didn’t dare to delay. Otherwise, we wouldn’t have moved her easily."

The companion explained.

According to normal procedures, the scene should be protected.

But they feared Lillian Tompson might die, so they urgently took photos and brought her back.

"At that time, was it confirmed there was no one around? No footprints either?"

Julius Reed knew that going there now was meaningless.

If someone really wanted to destroy some traces, they would have already done it.

No traces could be left behind.

The words of these first witnesses become very significant.

"There was nothing. At that time, there was only Miss Lillian Tompson there. We inspected the surroundings, and there were no footprints either."

The patrol team members spoke with some helplessness: "We truly don’t know what’s going on. She fainted for no reason. And when we backtracked her route, we found she simply walked straight here and went nowhere, just stayed here."

"It’s very unusual. If she were to leave, she would have directly left, but we analyzed and found she was just sitting there as if waiting for someone."

Everyone involved in the rescue was speaking.

Each person shared their findings.

Avoiding missing any detail.

"The problem is, there is a blind spot in the surveillance there. If one truly wanted to leave, it would indeed be challenging to track. But why did she quietly leave and stay there?"

The patrol team leader looked at Shadow Kims: "Mr. Shadow, what do you think?"

Julius Reed listened carefully on the side; these people were not lying.

Yet, the matter was indeed very odd.

"Lillian Tompson didn’t immediately faint. According to my estimation, she should have stayed there for quite a while."

"Or, since she started going down the mountain, she has been here and hasn’t moved."

"As if waiting for someone, but who? There are indeed no traces around."

Shadow Kims worried that Julius Reed might be suspicious, so he explained: "My deduction is very accurate. If anyone stayed around, they could be detected, even at the imperial level!"

"But the result I checked shows that no one came except Lillian Tompson." Shadow Kims spoke with some helplessness in his tone.
