A Mysterious Man novel Chapter 99

Kevin really does not understand how Troy has turned into this cautious and anxious person, in the past he has never seen Troy like this.

As a result Kevin doesn’t care for sleep anymore and goes to hold Troy down and presses him onto the sofa.

“Come back, we haven’t eaten a meal together in such a long time. Let’s eat breakfast together.”

Troy looks at the clock on the wall and says, “Isn’t it a little early…”

Kevin follows the gaze of Troy and sees that the clock is pointing at 6. So he also realizes that it is early?

Kevin shakes this look off his face and says, “I saw you looking all anxious and restless as if you had many words you wished to say. If I don’t let you say them now then later on you will come again and knock on the door.”

Troy suddenly realizes that Kevin has seen through his thoughts, and scratches his head with embarrassment.

“So, tell me. Take the opportunity to tell me now.”

Troy hesitates for a short while, “I will serve you the porridge first to let it cool down.”

“Troy, be quick.”

“I… I’ve been hiding something from you.”

“What?”

Kevin just knows that Troy will not tell him the truth, so hearing him say this is not a surprise but still waits for him to continue.

“It’s just that now is still not the right time to tell you. Anyways yesterday Andrei called me.”

“What did he say to you?”

It seems as if he is recalling a rather unpleasant memory and his eyebrows crease together, “He asked me why am I still alive.”

Hearing this question, Kevin’s hands start to tremble, “What does he mean by why are you still alive? Could it be that the airplane accident from before…”

Troy shakes his head, “I don’t know, he just said this to me and didn’t say anything else. However I fell apart due to my own speculation about what he meant, as you saw how I was yesterday.”

“Are you sure it really was Andrei?”

“It is him; I will never in my whole life be able to forget his voice…”

It’s just why is it Andrei? If it was Bella then it makes sense, however who is Andrei in that he can say these things?

“It seems that since you have returned, they have started again to…”

Kevin makes a bold assumption, “What if you all had long since been targeted, and then they took that opportunity to attack you all at the same time in one go?”

Troy shakes his head, “You can say this about Baron and me however regarding Sunny; how would someone like her ever provoke people like this?”

“In addition I even don’t know anything about where Andrei came from. If he gets involved with other organizations, then he won't be so easy to deal with."

Kevin suddenly remembers Steven Ellen’s diary. Written on it is that before Andrei was called PY Gangster and after that girl disappeared, the Elliott family seemed intent on protecting him.

If this is the case then they have definitely run into big trouble.

“Wait for me, I need to go back and look through a few things. If I find evidence then I will give you a call, however before this you absolutely must prevent Sunny from going to see Andrei.”

“Why does she want to go see Andrei?”

“She looked at your call history.” More precisely is that it was both of them.

“This silly girl is so stubborn and never puts a matter to rest. Ok, I understand.”

Kevin raises his eyebrows after he hears him call her silly, “What did you just say?”

“My bad, sorry, you should go now.”

“Good boy, look after your mother.”

…

Get lost, Troy yells inside.

Kevin drives directly to his house and notices that Irene is not there.

It seems that ever since he saw through her she has not appeared in a long time.

It’s just strange that breakfast and lunches are always prepared every day and if he doesn’t come back to eat them then the next day she will replace the meals.

There’s no need to do this. Kevin sighs, I didn’t do anything anyways right?

But he doesn’t have time to think about Irene now. He goes straight upstairs, and in his bedroom, he flips through the diary and account book that had been kept for a long time.

Then he takes them both with him and goes directly back down the stairs.

In the kitchen he sees the breakfast prepared for him that hasn’t been touched yet and hesitates for a while.

He does not dare to eat this breakfast now.

Once he drives back to Troy’s apartment, he sees that Sunny is still not awake and Troy is guarding the place like a loyal dog.

“You really are so good, now I think you should go back, your husband should be awake by now.”

Troy feels slightly upset after he hears that he has been dismissed, “That’s it?”

“Yes, what else?”

“At least let me look at the legendary materials!”

Kevin looks at him calmly, “When you are finally willing to tell me the truth, then I’ll show them to you.”

At a loss on what to do Troy looks over at Sunny’s room and grits his teeth. He must remain trustworthy.

He then stands up rather distractedly, “I will not look then!”

As he says this he walks directly out the door, bringing a gust of wind with him.

“Shut the door.”

His response is the sound of the door closing.

“Fight me!”

Kevin chuckles softly and then after he sits down he starts to flip through the diary.

This time he knows what he is looking for inside, therefore he directly goes to look at the content relating to the Elliott family and the Hawkins family.

The only thing he doesn’t know is whether Steven just doesn’t remember much or if there just isn’t much information regarding PY Gangster.

Kevin casually flips over a few pages when he discovers a section missing. This diary has a few pages that have been torn off by someone.

Kevin assumes that he has read it wrong, so he reads it back and forth several times, until finally he can confirm that the content before and after did not match.

This diary really has been tampered with by someone.

In addition looking at the parts that have been torn off, could it be that these were the parts containing information on Andrei?

Thinking of this, Kevin is taken aback by his own thoughts. It seemed that it was time to visit the head of the Hawkins’s family.

Now he wonders if he should go together with Sunny or not?

Still thinking about this, Sunny’s door clicks open and she stands by the doorway both composed and fully conscious. It turns out she has been awake all this time!

“Come over here, it seems that a few pages have been torn out from your father’s diary.”

Kevin beckons Sunny over to him and tells her about the problem he has encountered.

After she hears this she falls silent.

“Do you think that the missing pages are regarding Andrei?”

“I don’t know, we guessed that maybe it’s because those pages contained information about what happened to Troy. It’s hard to say since my father’s diary has had pages torn from it.”

Kevin is stunned for a moment after what is said but then he quickly reacts, "I feel I have hit a dead end.”

“Do you want to come with me to find Andrei?”

Sunny looks at Kevin, asking such a question like that.

Just now although she was lying on her bed, however she has been unable to sleep. Therefore she clearly heard the conversation between Kevin and Troy and thus has established her own thoughts about the matter.

“I can’t be so passive in this matter anymore, since I can also be considered as a victim, therefore I have the right to go ask and understand more.”

“However Andrei is such a sly man, will he really so easily tell you what you want to know?”

“No he won’t, therefore I must find some kind of loophole.”

“Alright then I will go with you. When the time comes look at me and don’t speak carelessly. Andrei has been sitting as the head of the Hawkins family for many years now so he will not be easy to provoke.”

“You are so annoying, let’s just go.”

Kevin gives a wry smile and then grabs Sunny’s hand, “Go and get washed and then eat some breakfast so we have some energy to fight this enemy.”

Sunny does not say anything; her eyes are fixated on Kevin holding her hand like this.

“Oh, I’m sorry.”

Kevin has no other choice but to let go of her hand and then carefully looks at the expression on Sunny’s face.

However he doesn’t see anything except for an indifferent and composed look on her face.

Watching as Sunny leaves, he feels slightly emotional. Time waits for no one and the once innocent white rabbit has already learnt to keep a composed look on one’s face.

Once they have both showered and finished breakfast it is already past nine o’clock.

As they are preparing to leave the house, they bump into Troy who is sneaking around.

Kevin stops moving and asks, “What are you doing?”

Troy is startled, “I was just looking to see if you have finished with everything yet.”

Kevin then notices that Troy is unexpectedly all neatly dressed.

Therefore he frowns, “You’re not planning on coming with us are you?”

Troy blinks his eyes with an innocent expression on his face and doesn’t say anything.

“Don’t even think about it, go and look after Macie. I have my own plan for this.”

At this moment Baron who was inside his room walks out after hearing their conversation and gives Troy a strange look, “What are you going to do?”

…

Troy feels this world always has some kind of evil intention towards him.

He then returns to his room furiously and pulls at Macie’s hair that has just been tied up by Baron.

“Baron, someone has messed up my hair!”

Troy’s mind that is full of melancholy is unable to find any way to express himself, and after hearing Macie talk about her hair he pulls her hair a little harder, “You silly child, what hairstyle do you want?”

“You scoundrel, I’ll kill you!”

After hearing the sound of movement Baron frowns and then nods his head at Kevin, “Be careful.”

After getting a response back, Baron walks back in helplessly and tries to pull apart the two of them entangled with one another.

“Both of you sit down and eat your food!”

It may be a little strange but after he says this, Macie obediently sits down and Troy stops messing around.

Both Macie and Troy groan together in unison and then start to eat their food.

...

Baron suddenly feels that he is older than he actually is and is raising both a son and a young daughter.

However the daughter’s real parents are currently standing outside preparing to go sort out an important matter.

Baron feels that in his previous life he was doing logistical work, and is not the gang leader that he is in his current life.

“Baron why are you just standing there all spaced out? Come on and eat some food.”

Troy doesn’t realize that he has stirred up Baron’s emotional state of mind, which causes his cheeks to bulge while he shouts back.

“Just shut up.”

Baron rolls his eyes, and swallows the egg yolk that Macie gives him.

He chokes a little.

Going back to Sunny and Kevin, they have just walked to the elevator, and Sunny has an appearance as if she is about to do something very important.
