344 One Of The Four Evils

William, Ian, Jekyll, Celine, Matthew, Leah, and the black-haired middle-aged man sat inside the conference room inside the Ainsworth Residence.

Ella stood beside William as she observed the stranger who was also eyeing her with curiosity.

Jekyll cleared his throat in order to catch everyone's attention.

"Let's all start with an introduction," Jekyll said as he looked at William and the rest who had just arrived in Lont. "This is my father Vladimir. You can just call him Lord Vlad or just Vlad. He is your grandfather's… best friend."

Matthew and William frowned as they glanced at Vladimir who was still looking at Ella with great interest.

Their grandfather, James, liked to boast and tell stories about his adventures. However, he didn't mention, not even once, that he had a best friend that went by the name Vladimir.
