Chapter 116 Do You Not Find Freya Very Mysterio...
Felipe slumped onto the couch, still sleepy and startled, and irritably asked
Kristian, "Why are you scaringat this hour?”
"Scaring you?" Kristian was baffled by the complaint.
"Why are you here?" Felipe changed the subject while yawning. "You didn't cto mope about your divorce
with me, did you?"
"For this." Kristian stretched out a small playing card.
As soon as Felipe saw it, his drowsiness disappeared, and a mischievous grin appeared on his face.
"Gerard said you told him that | should see you if | was curious about how Freya's playing card got to your place,"
Kristian said, his eyes intently fixed on Felipe.
Felipe nodded nonchalantly. "Yeah, that's correct."
"When did she leave it?" Kristian pressed on, eager for an answer.
"That night when you chere to pick her up," Felipe said, still amazed by Freya's skills.
Kristian looked confused.
Felipe didn't mince words. He handed the card back to Kristian, stood up, and began walking upstairs. "If you
really want to know, cwith me."
Kristian followed him.
Felipe walked through the bedroom to the balcony with his hands in his pockets and nodded toward a severed
line. "Last tshe was downstairs there, she used that card you're holding to cut through this line."
"I didn't chere to joking with you." Kristian was skeptical.
Cutting a line accurately from a distance with a playing card was beyond ordinary.
Even if Freya had once been the Briggs family's bodyguard, it seemed far- fetched.

Felipe arched an eyebrow. "You don't believe me?"
Kristian shot him a skeptical glance that said, "Really, do you think I'm that naive?"
"Alright." Felipe had expected such skepticism and turned back toward his study. "Con, you'll see for
yourself."
He turned on his laptop and pulled up the surveillance footage from that night.

As the footage of Freya fighting the bodyguards played, Felipe watched Kristian's grave demeanor and started
narrating, "She's quite the force. She single- handedly took down several of my guards."
Kristian watched closely. Freya's fighting technique was precise and deliberate, each move made with maximum
efficiency.
Her skills were clearly beyond what you'd expect from a typical bodyguard.
"You don't need to see the bit where | had a chat with her," Felipe said as he fast- forwarded the video. "Let's
skip to the important part."
Kristian remained silent, allowing Felipe to skip through the footage.
Felipe paused the video just as he had taunted Freya, saying, "So what happens when your countdown ends? Do
you imagine you can simply force your way in?"
Immediately he said that, Freya flung a playing card, which sliced through the line on the balcony.
“See that?” Felipe exclaimed, still feeling a shiver.
Kristian suddenly interrupted, "Wait."
"What?" Felipe looked at him, confused.
Without a word, Kristian rewound the footage to the moment right after Felipe spoke.
This time, he concentrated hard on Freya's left hand, not missing a blink.
Yet, he still couldn't understand how the playing card had cinto her hand. It seemed to appear out of
nowhere.
He slowed down the playback speed, but it remained unclear.
"What's the matter?" Felipe asked as he watched him rewind the video repeatedly.
Kristian was deep in thought. While he still held Freya's playing card, he requested, "I need a copy of this
footage."
"Aren't you set to divorce her?" Felipe hesitated, then locked his laptop screen. "Why do you need it?"
"Just give it to me."
"No." Felipe was puzzled by Kristian's insistence.
"If you really want this footage, helpfind Farrah first." Felipe's voice showed
his desperation. He had been searching endlessly with no success. "She was sent away by your wife. You need to
bring her back to me."
"Givethe footage first, and I'll have Gerard help you with that," Kristian retorted, his patience wearing thin.
Felipe leaned back in his chair and faced him squarely. "I trust you in other matters, but first, you have to help
Felipe didn't question Kristian's integrity per se.
It was more about Freya's mysterious nature. If she held other secrets, finding Farrah could becan
impossible task.

"Alerith," Kristian suddenly declared.
Felipe was taken aback. "What?"
"Farrah is in Alerith." Kristian wanted to wrap things up there.
relipe gave him a skeptical look. "How do you know this?"
"If you want to protect someone, where would you put them?" Kristian asked him.
Felipe answered without hesitation, "Jeucwell."

It was his territory. Keeping the person close was the most secure option.
"Alerith is Freya's territory." Kristian, despite his reluctance to accept it, everything about Freya suggested she
was more than she appeared. "Trent is also in Alerith, so Farrah is most likely there."
"She's never liked Alerith," Felipe blurted out.
"If not for those past events, she might have chosen to go to a city she liked. Considering you had to take her to
the hospital twice, she'd feel most secure being with Freya's men."
His simple remark suddenly widened Felipe's perspective.
He looked at Kristian with mixed emotions, then pulled out a flash drive with the
copied video from his desk drawer and gave it to him.
"Thanks." Kristian collected the flash drive and turned to leave.
"Kristian," Felipe called after him.
Kristian stopped, his aura as imposing as always. "Anything else?"
"Do you not find Freya very mysterious?" Felipe hinted, hoping Kristian would
catch on. "A person your skills and knowledge can't seem to crack..."
"She's a hacker." Kristian summed it up in one sentence.
Because she was a hacker, he had ceased further investigation as he was convinced that it was futile to try and
unearth any leads.
Felipe rose to his feet, one hand casually in his pocket. "It's rare for a hacker to manage feats like hers. Even the
top guards you've brought on board can't run five kilometers, but Freya..."
Kristian stayed silent.
He pondered as well, but certain thoughts were better left unexplored. Once he began, he knew he wouldn't be
able to refrain from digging further. They were about to get a divorce, and finding out her background seemed
irrelevant at this point.
"Good endurance might indicate she enjoys sports, and her combat skills could suggest she's trained in self-
defense." Felipe was smarter on this topic than Kristian. "However, the ability to sever a line from the ground
floor and fix a playing card to the wall isn't something just anyone can do.”
