You call this the mastermind?

How is this possible?

Mellen couldn't help but mutter to himself when he first heard what the other party said.

To say that he rarely appeared in Mrs. Chelsea's life was somewhat reasonable. After all, the relationship between the two was quite special. It was not impossible that he would be "driven out of the house" by Mrs. Chelsea one day because he played too much.

But to say that he had never appeared again was incredible to him.

Because this basically meant that he was dead or missing, otherwise how could there be no trace of it at all?

This kind of thing involved fate, and Mellen didn't dare to guarantee what he would encounter.

But thinking about some rumors about himself that he heard when he traveled to the future a while ago, he felt that it was unlikely that he was missing or dead.

However, in his opinion, the dream of the girl in front of him was bizarre, and no one dared to guarantee how true the content was. This idea was something he had prepared for before listening.

So after hearing the words, Mellen didn't refute anything except nodding.

This made Isabella, the girl who thought Mellen would be shocked, feel a little strange. She wondered if he didn't care about her life or death?

Or the relationship between the two in the future was not as close as she thought? So it was not surprising that he didn't show up again?

Otherwise, why would he be so cold?

"But I'm not sure if what I dreamed about was the whole story. Maybe you appeared in places other than those dreams."

She added, "And I'm not sure what happened. There are no more clues except that you didn't show up again. I suggest you take it as a reference."

"Thank you for your advice."

Mellen smiled slightly, still acting calm.

As a result, the other party's next sentence made him jump.

"The focus of the second half, in my opinion, should be my future son-in-law."

The hotel room was dimly lit. Although night had fallen, the lights were not lit by the two, so the girl sitting opposite Mellen did not notice the weirdness in the expression of the mysterious peer in front of her.

"I never saw him in my dreams, but I have been busy with his existence for the rest of my life."

"...What are you busy with?"

"I'm not sure what those are. Dreams are always vague, so I can only give a rough idea."

After responding like this, the girl frowned unconsciously, "It just seems that none of them are good things."

"Not good things?"

Merlen was stunned when he heard this, "Why do you say that?"

"Because in the end, my daughter died."

The girl said, "She died because of that son-in-law."

"...Can you remember the specific situation?"

"It should be because that son-in-law sacrificed himself for doing something big, I'm not sure."

Isabella answered hesitantly, "But I do remember that in my dreams I always couldn't help but call my daughter a fool, I'm not sure if it has anything to do with this."

Merlen was silent when he heard this.

In a sense, Alyssa is indeed stupid, and he wouldn't be surprised if she really sacrificed her life for him one day.

But how could such a thing happen?

If it was an accidental death, although he couldn't accept it, he could still understand it.

But if it was a voluntary sacrifice, regardless of whether Alyssa was willing or not, he alone would not agree...

What could make him willing to let Alyssa die?

"Unless I was seriously injured and dying, and Alyssa did this to save me, but this is too bloody."

He thought silently.

It's not as acceptable as an accidental death.

No, even an accidental death is unacceptable.

He has the ability to travel through time and space, but he can't even protect the people he loves. What's the use of this ability?

"So, what's the matter with Gilbert?" The complicated thoughts in his heart did not show on his face. Mellen then asked the question he was most concerned about before.

"James Gilbert."

The girl repeated the name, "I think this person has something to do with what I said before."

"Why do you think so?"

"Because in the last dream, I have been chasing this person, but I didn't find him until I died. He and the son-in-law in the dream have a high degree of overlap. I suspect that this person may be my future son-in-law."

Speaking of this, the girl paused, and seemed to be hesitant about whether to say the next words.

Merlen was not sure what she was hesitating about. Anyway, she said in the end, "Because of him, my future life is a bit miserable, so I wanted to investigate him before. If possible, it would be best to kill him directly."

I didn't find him until I died...

The word death made Mellen a little uncomfortable, because since he realized that this world has extraordinary power, he has regarded immortality as his greatest pursuit.

But if even his favorite teacher couldn't escape the end of death, wouldn't it mean that he was a loser in the end?

"Did he die of old age or was he murdered?" Mellen couldn't help asking.

"Of course he died of old age."

"So do you have any more impressions about James?"

"No."

The girl shook her head, "Except for the last part of the dream, this person, or even this name, has never appeared."

"This is very strange."

"Yes, I am also very strange about this matter. He just appeared out of nowhere, so I suspect that he is my son-in-law."

Your suspicion is very likely,

Merlen sighed.

According to the words of the person in front of him, compared to the dead uncle being the so-called big boss, he now believes in another possibility.

That is, the so-called James Gilbert is his pseudonym.

This guess is still unlikely in his opinion, but it is much more reliable than a useless uncle coming back to life and playing tricks.

And it can also be deduced based on the girl's previous words-for some reason, I defaulted to Alyssa's death, so I was guilty and didn't dare to see the teacher, and abandoned my original name and lived under another identity.

Although choosing to use my uncle's name as a vest is a very stupid act, maybe this vest will only be used in specific occasions?

For example, meeting relatives or something.

And the only clue the teacher has is this?

But although he relied on his imagination to deduce a rough outline of the matter, in general, Mellen still didn't believe that such a thing would really happen.

Even though he was a scumbag, he was quite confident in his character in this regard.

No matter what, he couldn't let Alyssa die.

"And even if it was really for some reason, I now know that it can be prevented. Anyway, the tragic situation is really unacceptable."

He thought so.

"But in the face of immortality, would you really not consider sacrificing the life of a stupid woman?"

A voice suddenly came from his ear, scaring Mellen.

Turning his head, he was surprised to find that a third person had sneaked into the room at some point!

And it was his "old acquaintance".

The mysterious Mother of Heaven!
