On Carson\u2019s lake island, today marked the first time in all his time in Betrico that so many people had appeared on his usually quiet island.<\/p>\n
The place was packed with people in black suits, the atmosphere solemn and grand.<\/p>\n
Inside the study, Carson sat leisurely in the main seat, brewing coffee with skilled, graceful movements.<\/p>\n
It had to be said, that the more time passed, the more Carson\u2019s knowledge and composure were evident.<\/p>\n
Across from him sat Arthur, a man who commanded respect from everyone in today\u2019s world.<\/p>\n
It was rare to see Arthur so humble, but in front of Carson, that was exactly how he was<\/p>\n
\u201cMr. Garcia, you\u2019ve been in Betrico for quite some time now, and this is my first time visiting your island. I\u2019m truly sorry about that. Your island is incredible. It\u2019s like paradise! I\u2019ll definitely be coming here more often,\u201d Arthur said.<\/p>\n
Carson poured a cup of coffee and handed it to Arthur with a smile. \u201cYou\u2019re in such a high position now, handling so many matters daily. For you to come here often would be inappropriate.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s rare for you to have the time to visit, so I\u2019d like you to try some fresh coffee beans that were just harvested and roasted right here on the island.\u201d<\/p>\n
Arthur eagerly took the cup and sipped. \u201cThis is great coffee. It leaves a delightful taste on my lips and teeth. I\u2019m lucky! The first time I visit, and I get to taste fresh coffee!\u201d<\/p>\n
After finishing the coffee, Arthur put the cup down and looked at Carson with a serious expression<\/p>\n
Carson took a sip of his own coffee and placed the cup down. \u201cWhat\u2019s wrong? Something troubling you?\u201d<\/p>\n
Arthur chuckled lightly and shook his head. \u201cIt\u2019s hard to hide anything from you, Mr. Garcia.\u201d<\/p>\n
Carson, slightly proud, responded, \u201cI\u2019ve known you since you were in military school. Even when you frown, I can tell what\u2019s on your mind.<\/p>\n
\u201cNot to mention, since the moment you stepped onto my island today, you\u2019ve had a troubled look on your face. It\u2019s hard not to notice.\u201d<\/p>\n
Compared to being around his parents, Arthur felt more at ease with Carson. He didn\u2019t hold back and took out the photos Morris had given him from his pocket, handing them to Carson<\/p>\n
He began. \u201cMr. Garcia, these are photos Morris gave me. As Morris mentioned, there\u2019s no trace of any connection. The serum from Hank\u2019s gene bank doesn\u2019t match mine at all.<\/p>\n
\u201cBut he, especially in this photo without his glasses, looks so much like me. I feel like it\u2019s a pity that we\u2019re not related by blood. I don\u2019t understand this at all, so I came to ask you.\u201d<\/p>\n
Carson listened and, still smiling warmly, said, \u201cThat\u2019s something you\u2019ll have to answer yourself. Whether there\u2019s a connection or not, whether it\u2019s true or false, you know best in your heart.<\/p>\n
\u201cAs for the mystery, it will eventually be solved, but it won\u2019t be you who solves it. Your primary concern should be the people, focusing on resolving the internal issues that Clusia is facing.\u201d<\/p>\n
Arthur didn\u2019t fully understand, but since Carson said it, there must be a reason behind it.<\/p>\n
He didn\u2019t want to dwell on his current problems. Since they rarely met, the two of them played a few rounds of chess.<\/p>\n

Eventually, Carson sent Arthur on his way, reminding him to focus on national affairs.<\/p>\n

Just as Arthur stepped out of the door and hadn\u2019t yet reached the ferry dock, Eugene approached him. \u201cMr. Garcia, is Arthur dealing with a difficult situation?\u201d<\/p>\n
Carson didn\u2019t nod or shake his head. \u201cAfter Cherise\u2019s wedding, the problem will be gone.\u201d<\/p>\n
Eugene was puzzled, not understanding how Arthur\u2019s situation was related to Cherise. He scratched his freshly shaved head, feeling empty inside.<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, just as Arthur stepped ashore, Cherise\u2019s car pulled up across the river, preparing to head to the island.<\/p>\n
Seeing the crowd of people dressed in black and sensing their powerful aura, it was obvious that Arthur, whom he had never met, had arrived.<\/p>\n
As Cherise walked a few steps forward, she heard someone calling her name. \u201cYou must be Cherise?\u201d<\/p>\n
With that voice, a figure emerged from behind the sea of black suits, a prominent person whom she had only ever seen on television.<\/p>\n
Arthur approached, carrying the air of someone in a high position, with elegance, dignity, and authority.<\/p>\n
Cherise walked up to Arthur, and when they were close enough, she nodded at him. \u201cMr. Jarrett, it\u2019s a pleasure to meet you.\u201d<\/p>\n
Arthur\u2019s smile was quite different from his usual serious demeanor. He looked at Cherise with warmth and friendliness. \u201cCalling me Mr. Jarrett feels too distant. You\u2019re not just my junior, you\u2019re also my nephew\u2019s wife. Just call me by my first name.\u201d<\/p>\n
Cherise hadn\u2019t expected Arthur to be so talkative. After a brief moment of thought, she responded, \u201cAlright, Arthur.\u201d<\/p>\n
She nodded as she spoke.<\/p>\n
Arthur was quite impressed with Cherise. She was poised, graceful, and had a rare kind of elegance that many women lacked.<\/p>\n
If it were any other woman, she would likely have refused to call him by his first name.<\/p>\n
But Cherise was different. She accepted without hesitation, and this form of address would also spare her husband any awkwardness. It was interesting, indeed.<\/p>\n
\u201cArthur, did you just meet with Mr. Garcia?\u201d Cherise asked, noticing that Arthur remained silent.<\/p>\n
Arthur replied, \u201cYes, it\u2019s been a while since we last met. I came over to chat for a bit, but not long after, he sent me away, saying I have lots of national affairs to attend to.\u201d<\/p>\n
Cherise chuckled lightly. \u201cI see. Arthur, then I won\u2019t keep you any longer. I need to hurry up and get to the island. First, I don\u2019t want to keep him waiting. Second, I don\u2019t want to delay any important matters for Clusia.\u201d<\/p>\n
Arthur let out a hearty laugh. \u201cAs expected, we are just like our master. Alright, I\u2019ll head off now. Cherise, if we get another chance, let\u2019s talk again.\u201d<\/p>\n
