Chapter 465

Hearing the conversation in the ward, Melody could not believe his ears.

She thought, ‘What is going on with Lucas and Ken?’

For a moment, Melody suspected that she was

hallucinating. After all, Lucas and Ken did not know each other at all before this. Their personalities were also worlds apart. It was impossible for them to chat so happily. Ander was also a little surprised.

He thought, ‘The cold Ken is actually getting along well with my son?’

The two of them reached out and pushed open the door almost at the same time.

Lucas was sitting on the bed with a hand on Ken’s shoulder. Ken did not look uncomfortable at all, as if he had accepted Lucas’s intimacy. The two of them were like friends who had known each other for many years.

However, Ken usually looked at Sod with disdain when Sid touched him.

Melody thought, ‘How did these two people hit it off at first sight?’

Ander coughed twice. When Lucas heard the voice, he noticed that Melody and Ander had returned. He quickly let go of Ken’s shoulder and called out cautiously, “Dad, Melody.”

Melody looked at Lucas and then at Ken. In the end, she chose not to ask anything and only said, “Ken, let’s go.”

“Alright.” Ken nodded slightly and stood up with some difficulty.

Melody could not help but take a few steps forward to help Ken up and help him out.

When he passed by Ander, Ken suddenly said, “Professor Morgan, when are you free? I want to treat you to a meal and have a chat.”

“Sure…” Ander nodded. “I happen to have something to talk

to you about in private. How about this? When Lucas is discharged from the hospital, I’ll come and ask you for a time.”

“Okay.” After setting the approximate time, Ken continued to put his weight on Melody’s shoulder and slowly walked out.

After the two of them left, Ander looked at Lucas with a deep gaze. “You better take care of yourself and go help Melody as soon as possible. Don’t keep causing trouble for us! I’ll settle the score with you about Bonnie in the future!” Lucas knew that he was in the wrong. He lowered his head and did not dare to speak.

At the same time, in the corridor.

Melody could not help but ask, “What did you talk about with Lucas? Why are you chatting so happily?”

“It’s nothing,” Ken said calmly, “That kid likes to race, so l talked to him about some things that happened when I was a professional racer.”

Melody thought, ‘That kid? Why do I feel that Ken is especially doting on Lucas? This is completely unlike the usual Ken.’

Melody stared at Ken suspiciously for a few seconds. When Ken turned to look at her, she silently retracted her gaze and bought a wheelchair for Ken. Her shoulder was about to be crushed by Ken.

Before leaving the hospital, Melody asked the nurse if Rodney’s surgery was successful. After receiving an affirmative answer, she drove to the Youth Center with Ken. On the way, Zack called.

Melody thought, ‘Zack has already talked to me about work. Why is he calling now?’

Melody picked up the call with a puzzled expression. He heard Zack say anxiously, “Melody, quickly look at the photo I sent you.”

Melody clicked on the picture sent by Zack.

It was a screenshot of the news. It was shockingly written that a group of hooligans who called themselves the Death

Riders had fought each other to death because of an

internal dispute. The death toll was more than 30.

After seeing what was written on it, Melody suddenly frowned.

She gripped her phone tightly and said in a surprised tone, Those people are all dead?”

“Yes… Although those people are mercenaries, it’s impossible for them to all die in a chaotic battle because of some internal dispute. The only explanation is that Ulric did it. In order to completely seal their mouths, he really doesn’t treat them as humans!”

Melody closed her eyes and said, “I didn’t expect…”

She knew that Ulric was an animal, but today, Ulric once again refreshed her understanding of him. She realized that Ulric was not even worthy of being an animal.

Zack let out a long sigh on the other end of the phone and said, “I don’t know why, but I feel very uncomfortable. Although those guys aren’t good people, they didn’t deserve to end up like this.”

Melody did not know how to respond because her focus was different from Zack.

She was more concerned about whether the clues to the fire would be cut off.

It was not that she was cold-blooded, but she had seen more of the cruelty of this world than Zack.

She said, “Zack, I know about this. I’ll pass on the message to Ken and discuss with him what we should do next. Take care of yourself and call me immediately if anything happens.”

“Yeah.” After the call ended, Melody turned around and wanted to report to Ken what Zack had just said.

Ken was the first to speak. “I heard everything.”

Melody saw that his eyes were dark and his entire body seemed to be filled with hostility. She knew that his impression of Ulric had changed from disgust to hatred.

This was the first thing that she wanted to happen after she met Ken. She hoped that Ken and Ulric would completely turn against each other.

But now, she was not happy at that moment at all. Instead, she was worried that Ken would encounter more danger because of this.

Melody calmed herself down and shook off those messy thoughts. She said, “Ulric must know that we have already guessed that the fire at the Youth Center is his doing, so he wants to erase all clues and traces. If we don’t hurry up, it will be even harder for us to find evidence.”

Ken nodded in agreement. “The lead about the Death Riders has been cut off. We can only start from the Youth Center. However, just the portrait from Averi is not enough evidence… We have to think of a way to gather more evidence. However, the Youth Center has already collapsed. The people above will definitely clean up the ruins

immediately. At that time, let alone clues, I’m afraid we won’t even be able to find a tile.”

Ken turned to look at her and said, “That’s why I need you to contact someone.”

“Who?”

“Samuel Grover.”

“Mr. Grover?”

“That’s right.” Ken nodded slightly. “If he can show up and say that this wasn’t an accidental fire, the higher-ups will definitely take it seriously and start investigating this matter. This will buy us a lot of time.”

“I understand. I’m afraid he suffered quite a shock today. I can only talk to him tomorrow.”

“Yes, tomorrow will do.”

As he spoke, Melody thought of something and spoke again, “I heard that there are many places that were on fire in Silverlake today. The resources of the fire department were simply not enough to allocate. That’s why it took so long for a fire truck to arrive at the Youth Center. Do you think that those places where the fire started were also done by Ulric?”

“I’ll have someone investigate all the fires today.”

Melody nodded and was about to continue speaking when Ken suddenly said, “Melody, do you have anything else to tell me other than business?”
