Chapter 391: Chapter 8 Milan’s Deduction

When Alyssa finally looked up, Virgil couldn’t help but sincerely admire her, truly a beauty in the making. Although not as much as Lailiya, she had a very clean aura about her.

"I have a few things I need to make clear to you," Klein approached Alyssa and suddenly looked towards her neck.

"Big, big brother???"

"I need you to make Lumi An Dailun fall completely for you. He is different from Damon Dailun; he is sometimes too naive of a pacifist. Kind, but excessive in his kindness."

"I..."

"Lailiya arranged for someone to teach you how to please men, right? You are attractive and your body has developed well, you have enough to make Lumi An Dailun fall for you. Fortunately, unlike Damon Dailun, we can’t even find any mistresses of his... which actually surprises me. With his personality, an innocent-looking girl like you will definitely catch his favor."

Hearing these words, Virgil felt uncomfortable. Were these words suitable for a brother to say?

Lailiya then said, "Big brother, there’s no need to say these things now, is there?"

"But, you cannot fall for him," Klein emphasized firmly, "and you cannot bear his children. Do you understand?"

"Yes... yes... I understand."

Lailiya then approached and said, "Big brother, you’re pushing her too hard. Alyssa, listen carefully, protecting yourself is your first priority, I will arrange a better position for you in the hospital. You can also discuss with me which department you’d like to go to."

Virgil watched the scene, seeing it clear as day... one was playing good cop, the other bad cop, practicing a mix of kindness and severity. And Alyssa, clearly not seeing this, could only obediently comply.

"Never underestimate the Dailun Family," Klein continued to remind, "The Dailun Family has ruled over the hospital for two hundred years, and in their heyday, the head of the Dalen Family could sit on equal terms with Napoleon Bonaparte himself."

"What?" At this, Alyssa was clearly shocked, "Really?"

Lailiya nodded and said, "The earliest rise of the Dailun Family coincided with the fall of the Spanish Habsburg dynasty. You studied history, so you should know that the last king of the Spanish Habsburgs, Charles II, was called ’the Bewitched,’ right?"

"My European history is a bit weak..." Alyssa couldn’t help but show a look of embarrassment.

Although Virgil grew up in the United States, he had a good grasp of European history, which gave him and Lailiya quite a number of common topics to discuss back in the day.

"The symptoms of Charles II were actually due to a curse, and in the late 17th century, the deputy director of 666 Hospital failed to cure him, leading to his death in 1700. With the new century, a changeover of deputy directors was due, and the then-deputy director’s failure to cure Charles II ended the Spanish Habsburg dynasty, and ultimately enabled the Dailun Family to ascend to power."

In Virgil’s memory, history books surmised the moniker ’the Bewitched’ for Charles II referred to him simply suffering from epilepsy, but now, how many things dismissed as superstition by modern science were actually forcefully fitted into a materialist worldview?

"It wasn’t a failure to cure..." Klein stated more explicitly, "but rather... the deputy director at the time was assassinated by Edward Dailun, the then head of the Dailun Family."

Virgil could see... Klein’s aim was to implant a bloody and terrifying image of the Dailun Family into Alyssa’s mind to maximally prevent the possibility of her being turned by them.

"The death of Charles II resulted in the lack of a successor for the Spanish Habsburgs, which then led to the Holy Roman Empire launching the War of Spanish Succession against France," Klein continued with a sneer. "The Dailun Family, for their selfish interests, plunged Europe into war. You should understand just how nefarious a family this is."

Were these things... true or false? Virgil remained skeptical. However, there was no question that Alyssa seemed to believe it all.

"Prepare yourself, Alyssa, we leave for the Dailun family estate in fifteen minutes."

After leaving the room, Klein quietly said to Lailiya, "Compared to America, I still prefer the air over here in Europe."

Lailiya wasn’t in the mood to discuss this with Klein; instead, she said, "Didn’t you scare her a bit too much? Alyssa is key in maintaining the relations between our two families and in finding out Mary’s whereabouts."

Klein, with an indifferent expression, said, "Mary... More than that, I want to know what exactly Rosa Medel and Damon Dailun are researching. Today’s occasion might not see Rosa Medel appear with the Dailun Family."

Saying this, he turned to look at Virgil.

"So, I need your help with this, Virgil."

...

Milan’s mood was becoming increasingly restless and uneasy.

Returning from the hospital, even in her own family mansion, she still couldn’t find a trace of peace.

A sense of calm before the storm enveloped her entire being.

Someone within the family was brewing a plan... but no one had told her. This was Milan’s current intuition.

She walked to the desk, took out a piece of paper, and wrote down several names, along with their interrelations.

She then wrote down "elevator," "thirteen passengers," "Mary Faust missing."

"Klein Faust doesn’t care about Mary Faust’s life or death at all," Milan murmured to herself, "but for them, this is a perfect opportunity to strike at us."

Klein Faust was Mephisto Faust’s favourite child, and his abilities and character were most like Mephisto’s. Therefore, Mary Faust, who advocated for maintaining peace between the two great families through marriage, was completely incompatible with him.

But... he was still pushing forward with this marriage!

On the other hand...

She circled the name Rosa Medel.

"When Mary Faust disappeared, Rosa was right beside her. Rosa is the deputy head of the Demons Department, effectively Mary’s superior, so it’s actually not strange for the two of them to be together. But..."

She didn’t believe it was a coincidence.

"If Mary saw there were thirteen passengers in the elevator at that time, why would she still get in? Why would she ignore the warning stipulated by the hospital director?"

Had Mary fallen into some madness? Was she manipulated by Rosa Medel? Exactly how much did the second and third brothers involve themselves in this incident?

At this time, Milan didn’t yet know about Rosa applying for three red masks.

Finally, she picked up the pen and wrote "Hospital 444" in the center of the paper.

Not long after she wrote it, she faintly felt a throbbing pain from the black inverted cross on her forehead.

The first rule of 666 Hospital is: The name of the hospital is 666 Hospital, a hospital with an all-English sign, primarily treating patients from European and American countries.

This hospital is not called Hospital 444.

Not called Hospital 444...

Milan looked at the words "Hospital 444." She studied Chinese and was the best at speaking it within the family. She knew that just as Westerners avoid "666," the number 4 is extremely unlucky for Chinese because it sounds like the word "death."

"Rosa Medel, she once said that..."

Every time Milan thought of this woman, she experienced a strong psychological shadow. Even when facing Natalie, she didn’t feel this way.

"If Mary went somewhere, could it be... could it be..."

She lit a match and burned the paper she had just written on.

As the flames slowly consumed the words "Hospital 444," the throbbing pain from the inverted cross on her forehead gradually lessened.

In the end, she watched the paper turn to ash.

The throbbing pain in her forehead, from then on, completely disappeared.

"Miss."

Just then, a servant’s voice came from the door: "The Faust Family has arrived."
