After I became a real young master, I became famous for my bad behavior

Ivan threw the brick in his hand and pointed at the hole he had made:

"Why bother with so much? Just get in. We've already moved everything in here, so there's no point.

"Just wait, I'll make this hole bigger so we can go in straight."

Ivan turned his head away quickly after saying this, as he remembered the dark history of Eric being shot in the head when he was still in college.

"I can't laugh. I can't laugh. Otherwise, the vest won't hold up..."

Eric watched Ivan's amazing moves and saw how he took a few moves to tear the wall into the shape of a door.

(Quite neat)

Click.

Ivan unscrewed the last brick above his head, and then he breathed a sigh of relief:

"Haha, done! We're safe now."

When Eric entered, Ivan was surprised to find that this was a library. The books on the shelves looked quite old.

"Uh..."

Eric carefully took a dusty book from the bookshelf and flipped through it carefully. He knew that these books were at least ten years old and the pages had long since turned yellow.

Ivan could see that Eric was already being careful.

Eric added as he read:

"I heard from my mother (Nora) that this place used to be her territory, which means that this is the library she built when she was Viscount Lange. In other words, everything in here belongs to Nora Lange."

"That's it..."

Ivan tilted his head and looked at these things:

“So, we just need to move these books, right?

"To be honest, these things are just a pile of garbage for the current residents. Madam Nora's worries are unnecessary."

Eric couldn't help laughing when he thought that the current resident was Haynes: the head of the family, Atole, couldn't even tell the real family tree from the fake one, let alone the other family members?

They definitely don't like these junks.

"well,"

Eric stood among the "junk metal" and explained to Ivan,

"But these things were the only wealth that the Langers had at the time. They were also the rare peace and happiness they had before they met Haines."

Ivan the chicken pecked and nodded:

"Let's start moving then. Don't waste too much time here."

"Otherwise, if that petty Lisa sees it, she'll probably be wondering what good stuff Madam Nora has hidden."

...

Ivan took the books down from the shelf one by one and stacked them carefully in the box that Eric had brought.

But he was cleaning the second layer from bottom to top, and after emptying the bookshelf, the back of his hand touched a layer of brown paper behind the bookshelf.

"what?"

Ivan touched it carefully and confirmed that the surface texture here was different from that of the wall. So he bent down and checked the situation carefully.

He felt around and finally found the curled corner of the kraft paper. He grabbed the curled corner and pulled it hard.

tear-

Eric was stunned by the noise. He put down the jewelry box in his hand and turned to look at Ivan. He saw Ivan's hand groping for something in the bookshelf.

"What are you doing?"

"There's a hole here," Ivan muttered.

"Isn't it normal for such an old place to have holes?" (Eric)

"Ah, you don't understand."

In the original work, if there is a hole or something like that, there must be something hidden inside.

After groping for a while, Ivan felt something made of iron on the back of his hand.

"...Oh, there really is something!"

He tentatively grabbed a corner of the box, then straightened up, exerted a little force with his right arm, and took out the small iron box.

The corners and lock of this iron box are rusted.

After Eric put the jewelry box into the box, he walked a few steps to Ivan and said, "Ah... a box hidden in the wall? I'm afraid it's some confidential document."

Ivan handed the box to Eric - you are from Impess, it is more appropriate for you to open this thing.

Eric took the small iron box, glanced at Ivan Bai, and then used a little force with both hands to break the lock of the iron box:

"ah.

"It looks like something from a long time ago..."

As he spoke, Eric took out one of the yellowed papers and unfolded it carefully.

It's a portrait.

The painting depicts the young Lange couple, that is, the portrait of the "Baroque Viscount Lange" period.

James' black hair and green eyes and Nora's milk tea hair and pink eyes are too eye-catching. Of course, we have to say that "time never defeats beauty". The couple was very beautiful when they were young.

(Because she is still a beauty among her peers)

Ivan came close to Eric and looked at him, praising him:

"Well, the Duke and Duchess in their youth were a couple of looks."

"That's not true~"

Eric couldn't help but complain.

"(Off topic) Jason and James are brothers, but their looks are so different. Luckily I inherited my mom's looks, otherwise I really wouldn't be able to show my looks to people."

Ivan chuckled.

Then, Eric flipped through the other portraits. When he unfolded them, he saw a little boy with black hair and green eyes who looked very similar to Scott.

The lower right corner of the portrait is marked "Scott".

"Oh, Scott was very cute when he was a child." Eric said lightly.

Ivan also noticed this portrait:

"Hmm...Since there's a portrait of Scott as a child, there should be a portrait of Slok as a child, right?"

Eric put the box on the table:

"Just take your time to read it. I still have to keep collecting things."

"Because you see these people often, right?" Ivan agreed.

However, Ivan still carefully picked up the small iron box and held the portrait of Scott in his left hand.

Ivan suddenly felt something was wrong:

"Eric."

"what happened?"

"Are you sure this is Scott? Scott has a mole on his neck?"

Ivan looked at the barely noticeable mole on the little boy's neck in the portrait and felt more and more that something was wrong.

Eric paused for a moment.

But he is her brother, so of course he knows that Stella has no mole on her neck.

If it weren’t for the fact that Mrs. Nora wrote in her letter that “she was too obsessed with Slok’s death at the time and denied Stella’s existence—Stella’s childhood portrait had been burned by her, so naturally no one knew what Stella looked like when she was a child.”

Otherwise he wouldn't let Ivan into this place.

The truth is, the little boy in the portrait is the deceased brother Scott, and the current "Scott" is the sister Stella.

But in order to conceal the truth, Eric answered while packing his things:

"I really didn't notice. Could it be Slok?

"Didn't mother say Scott and Slok were twins? They look alike and that's normal. I became a member of Impes when I was 8 years old, and Slok had already died by then. I don't know what the difference is between them."

"Oh."

This gave Ivan the urge to go back and look at Scott's neck.

After Ivan folded the portraits, he planned to put them in the box.

But while cleaning the portraits, one fell to the ground.

Eric also noticed the fallen portrait, and Ivan's eyes also followed that direction.

What they saw was a portrait of a girl with black hair and green eyes, with the word "Stella" marked in the lower right corner.

Ok?

Ivan became alert:

Why would a portrait of Scott's half-sister, Stella, appear in Lady Nora's personal space?!
