Time: 3:10 PM

Location: Shanghai Pudong International Airport

Owen: "Hah... So, this is Shanghai? The 'Pearl of the Orient'?"

Harriet: "Ranked sixth globally for cities with the most skyscrapers."

Owen: "Not interested."

Harriet: ...

Owen: "Can we go eat, I'm hungry!"

"Not until you are informed of the mission."

Owen: "Professor?!!"

Harriet: "You've made it, Professor Hill."

Hill: "It's been a while, hasn't it? How have you been?"

Harriet: "Doing well, and yourself, Professor?"

Hill: "As great as ever."

Owen: "Wait, Professor Hill is here too? How come I didn't know?"

Hill: "Explaining it would be a lengthy conversation, Owen. All you need to know is that my role here is solely to guide you to your destination."

Harriet: "Professor, before we go, I have questions."

Hill: "Feel free to ask."

Harriet: "Regarding the 'secret' referenced in your letter..."

Hill: "Yes, I alluded to it."

Harriet: "What precisely is this 'secret'?"

Hill: "That information will only be revealed once you reach the destination."

Harriet: "Another query, Professor. You indicated that this mission is highly classified, correct?"

Hill: "Indeed, it was explicitly stated in the letter."

Harriet: "Given the secrecy, why choose me? Wouldn't Akira be a better choice?"

Hill: "..."

'What are they talking about?'//Owen thought//

Hill: "It's best if we don't talk about it."

Harriet: "Professor, why keep it mysterious?"

Hill: "Harriet, while there are many things to know and learn, an overabundance of information can get you in the dark."

Harriet: "I'd rather delve into it than remain in ignorance about something I should know."

Hill: "But the cost of knowing is immeasurable."

Harriet: "..."

Hill: "Furthermore, this matter does not concern you directly, so it's best to maintain a distance."

Harriet: "I understand your view, Professor."

Hill: "Rest assured, Harriet. All will become clear in due time. For now, focus on the mission and ensure it is complete."

Harriet: "Understood, Professor."

Owen: "Can we grab a meal after this?"

Hill: "Yes, Owen, yes you can."

Location: Shanghai Jiahui International Hospital

"Patient room 1001..."

"Oh, it looks like some visitors are coming to see you."

???: "Someone's visiting me?"

"Yes, at 4:00 PM."

Inside room 1001, a doctor and a patient are having a conversation. As the doctor finishes speaking, the beautiful boy patient turns to glance at the clock. It reads 3:18 PM.

???: "May I know who it is?"

Doctor: "I'm sorry, but I'm not authorized to disclose that information."

???: "That's alright. And..."

???: "When will I be walking normally again?"

Doctor: "About three more months."

Doctor: "But remember, even when you can walk normally again if you experience any pain or numbness in your legs, it's important to rest, or else your legs may freeze up."

???: "I got it, thanks, doctor."

Doctor: "Then I'll take my leave, take care."

???: "You too."

The doctor has taken his leave, leaving the patient alone in his room.

"Yesterday's World Cup match was insane, with the best young soccer player Itoshi Rin scoring the most goals and ingeniously predicting and thwarting Loki's plans and destroying the France team hideously."

"Now, with only one more match, they can claim the FIFA World Cup Trophy. But their final opponent isn't going to make it easy for them."

"Of course, their last competitor is none other than Real Madrid."

"In the previous World Cup, Real Madrid emerged victorious against U20, but this time, will history repeat itself?"

"Let's wait for this majestic showdown to unfold on February 13, 20xx, at the biggest stadium in Hong Kong."

???: "Itoshi Rin..."

???: "Why do I feel like I've known him before?"

Sorry, sorry, Ciel so sorry😭 😭 😭 😭.

I apologize for the delay. I said it would be uploaded on Friday, but it wasn't until Sunday that I finally posted the chapter. 

It was because I didn't realize it hadn't been published yet. 

Please forgive my sin.

Anyway, this chapter is short ...with only 597 words.

Bye...
