Is boyfriend the dark knight today? [Comprehensive British and American]

The call was from Solan.

This surprised Bruce a little.After he left Dawn that day, although the two were still in a cooperative relationship, they were in a state similar to a cold war.Otherwise, Dawn won't ignore him for a long time, so that the subordinates here think that Bruce is out of favor.

In his mind, even if Dawn wanted to contact him, it should be Dawn himself who called.

Solan took a deep breath on the phone: "Mr. Warner, I'm very busy here, so I'll make a long story short."

"We need you to leave Florence as soon as possible without informing anyone," he said, "anyone. Even our subordinate forces."

Bruce's heart skipped a beat.The request was unusual, and something must have happened to Dawn.

He thought about it, took a step back, and closed the open car door. "What's wrong? Did something happen?" After a moment of silence, he asked in a low voice.

Many speculations flashed through Bruce's mind in an instant, including the mutiny of Florence's forces, some enemies who wanted to capture him to threaten Dawn, and so on.

Solan didn't answer him: "I will send a plane to take you away at the designated place in half an hour. If you have any place you want to go, you can bring it up now."

"Anywhere?" Bruce asked.

"Anywhere." Solan affirmed, "As long as I can do it, but you have to hide your whereabouts."

There was a brief silence on the phone.

Bruce suddenly remembered something, and asked, "Has your annual meeting been held yet?" A vague sense of absurdity came to his mind - if that was the case, then Dawn would be a shipwreck in the gutter.

"The annual meeting will start in two hours." Solan didn't evade his question this time, "Have you figured out where to go?"

"Don's missing, isn't he?" Bruce lowered his voice.

Without waiting for Solan's answer, the sudden disordered breathing on the other end of the phone said everything.

"Father is fine." Solan said coldly, with undisguised guard in his voice, "No matter where you heard the news—"

"If you want to know," Bruce raised his voice to cut through the utterly unconvincing cover-up, "it might have something to do with Adelaide. That's all I know."

The voice of the young man on the other end of the phone stopped suddenly, but only for a moment, he resumed his original tone: "Is there any place you want to go?"

The voice over the phone was distorted, and Bruce couldn't clearly judge whether he believed his words, but telling this piece of information, he had already done what he could, so he didn't pay attention to this matter.

Compared with Dawn, who is not in danger of his life at all, Bruce still pays more attention to his mysterious origin.Solan asked him where he wanted to go several times, which made him suddenly think of the words left by Sherlock.

Judging from Solan's meaning, it is obvious that he has to leave Florence, so this is probably the only chance——

It was so coincidental that it seemed as if someone had arranged everything.

But that couldn't have been planned.There can't be any connection between Sherlock and the Dawn family, or Dawn wouldn't have capsized after Sherlock had pointed out Adelaide's plans.

"If I want to go on a rich man's cruise ship, can you do that?" he asked.

This question was obviously not expected by Solan. He paused before speaking: "I can ask someone to negotiate with the other party. If the other party agrees, there is no problem on my side."

Soran is surprisingly easy to talk to.But since he agreed to the matter, Bruce didn't delve into the inside story.He returned to the place where he temporarily lived, packed up the things he needed to take away, and arrived at the location designated by Solan on time.

I don't know what he told Evelyn.In short, before boarding the plane, Bruce finally received Solan's reply, and Evelyn agreed to his request to board the ship.

Although it was agreed to let Bruce board the ship, it is unrealistic to board the ship directly by plane. Bruce needs to change to other ships in the nearest city to reach Evelyn's cruise ship.

It takes more than 24 hours during this period.

When Bruce finally boarded Evelyn's ship, the owner of the cruise ship was already standing on the deck waiting for him.

Evelyn, Jill to be precise.Evelyn.He was a thin young man with a pale complexion and a pair of extremely dark eyes, like a dull black hole.

Probably like Dawn before, Evelyn's trip this time is also for vacation.The man's clothes were not very particular, the sleeves of the white shirt were rolled up to the elbows, revealing a pale and thin arm.

The tropical sunshine didn't seem to bring any change to him, and his whole body was glowing white under the sun.Just looking at the outside, it looks like a vampire living in a dark castle all the year round.

As the host, Evelyn was still enthusiastic about Bruce's uninvited visit. With a smile on his face, he personally welcomed Bruce into the cabin.

……

Dawn lay on the bed with his eyes closed.

He didn't often let the siren help him to sit up, after all, lying down was much more comfortable than sitting up when he was weak all over.

According to the usual routine, since he already knew that his general weakness was due to being drugged, he should find a way to avoid taking drugs again.

But the fact is that the drug is not ingested by him orally or by breathing, but is injected by the siren with a syringe at regular intervals every day.Under such circumstances, it was simply impossible for Dawn, who was basically powerless, to resist.

His body was out of control, and Dawn didn't stop thinking.

He had hoped to use the conflict of interest to find out the identity of the person behind the scenes, but he had no clue.However, this does not mean that this method is the only way to delineate the range of suspects——

He originally thought that the matter was planned by people from other families who took the opportunity to gain greater benefits, but after thinking about it, he never thought that any collaborator he had contacted would do such a risky thing.

After thinking for a few days and finding nothing, Dawn finally changed his mind: the people behind the scenes may not come from the outside.

The Sirens said on day one that they were just going to let themselves disappear for a few days.If he didn't want to take advantage of the opportunity to make a profit, then something must be affected by him, so the people behind the scenes had to kidnap him to ensure the smooth implementation of the matter.

As the patriarch, he has almost the ability to make a final decision on the internal affairs of the Dawn family. If it is because he does not want his influence, then the possibility of the people behind the scenes coming from the Dawn family is far greater than others.

Dawn thought it would be related to the family's annual meeting.After all, at this year's annual meeting, people who will assist Soran will be selected, which is considered a big event for some people.

Yet he remembered his itinerary well.It has been the fifth day since he woke up. According to the original plan, the annual meeting should be successfully completed in the afternoon of the third day.Without Dawn's influence, the purpose of the people behind the scenes should have been achieved.

But Siren still didn't intend to let him go.

Of course, the possibility that they locked him up for a few more days to confuse the public cannot be ruled out...

……

Evelyn politely invites Bruce to sit on the sofa.Soon a waiter brought the tea.

"You found me sooner than I expected," he said, looking at Bruce with scrutiny. "I didn't expect it to be you, Mr. Warner."

Bruce went straight to the point: "I want to know the whereabouts of Clarion."

Evelyn, who was drinking water from a teacup, suddenly choked.

This attracted Bruce's somewhat suspicious gaze. After hearing what the other party said before, Evelyn should have expected that he would come to the door.There's no reason to mention Clarion to make the other party suddenly lose their composure.

The man put down his teacup, put his left hand on his lips and coughed twice, suppressing the itchiness in his throat, and looked at Bruce again as if nothing had happened.

"Clarion? How could Mr. Warner think that I would know the whereabouts of a mercenary?"

Bruce looked at him questioningly.

"I wasn't sure beforehand, but your reaction tells me you do."

He also seemed to know that his previous gaffe was too obvious.Evelyn just lowered his head and thought for a moment, then raised his head to look at Bruce again.

"Yes, I do know." He said frankly, "But I can't tell you."

"Or you can pass a word for me." Bruce didn't force it.To him it made little difference between finding Clarion himself and Clarion coming to him.

"When you see Clarion, please tell him: August 22nd," Bruce said.

August 22nd was the day he appeared in front of Dawn.

If something unusual happened to Clarion that day, he would definitely come to see Bruce on his own initiative.If the other party didn't come, it was very likely that Clarion himself didn't know anything, and there was no point in meeting each other.

Hearing this date, Evelyn suddenly showed a thoughtful look, as if he also knew that there was something special about that day.

Bruce had a panoramic view of all this, and he was even more certain that Clarion might be the clue.

Evelyn just pondered for a moment and then said: "I can only say that when the time is right, he will probably come to you, Mr. Warner." He spoke quite firmly, as if he knew the other person he was talking about very well. .

Bruce's piercing blue eyes stared at Evelyn for a long time, trying to read something in his expression.

Evelyn didn't let this stare last for long, just for a moment, he stood up and interrupted the gaze with his movements.

"You're not here for the reasons I think," he said with a sudden laugh.

Bruce frowned, puzzled.

It seems that in Evelyn's eyes, there should be another reason for coming here?

The owner of the cruise ship didn't mean to explain to his guests, but turned sideways and gestured to the attendant who was standing beside him.

"It seems that I'm going to bring a surprise to Mr. Warner."

The author has something to say:
