When the Wind is Sweet: The Fairy Tale of Mr. and Mrs. Lancaster-Chapter 628: What Is President Lancaster Plotting?

Black Hawk supported his body, staring blankly at Adrian Lancaster, unable to read his thoughts at all.

However, after a while, Black Hawk snapped back to reality and still lifted the quilt.

As he got up, he began to speak, "President Lancaster is a very busy person, having been absent for so many days. What brings you here on the first day of the new year?"

"I’m giving you time to calm down," Adrian Lancaster replied, "After so many days, I trust that you’ve thought it through — whether or not you want to cooperate with me."

Black Hawk’s grip on the quilt paused for a moment.

Turning his gaze again to meet Adrian Lancaster’s eyes, he saw the restraint in them. It moved him that Adrian was famously protective of his wife.

Honestly speaking, after being confined for so many days, he had practically fallen ill, and his psychological defenses were starting to crumble.

Black Hawk couldn’t have anticipated his fate at Adrian Lancaster’s hands.

Once off the bed, he had only taken two steps.

Adrian Lancaster’s gaze fell upon his thigh; the wound there probably still hurt a lot, as he walked with a limp.

Adrian Lancaster turned and opened the room door.

"President Lancaster." The person outside greeted him with utmost respect, bowing.

He glanced back at Black Hawk and then stepped outside, and Black Hawk followed. 𝒇𝒓𝙚𝒆𝔀𝓮𝓫𝒏𝓸𝙫𝓮𝓵.𝓬𝙤𝙢

As they passed the doorway, Adrian Lancaster’s subordinates seemed to fix their eyes on him.

This was the first time he had stepped through this door since being imprisoned.

He was unsure of what Adrian Lancaster would do next; maybe... hand him over to the police?

Providing him food, shelter, and surveillance was already an expense.

But Adrian Lancaster certainly wouldn’t let him off the hook.

Thinking along these lines, Black Hawk reached the stairway where he saw at least seven or eight men in black standing in the living room below.

Their aura was icy, perhaps from being around Adrian Lancaster for too long.

During the descent, Black Hawk also saw some people standing in the courtyard, knowing it was impossible to escape.

Truthfully, he felt somewhat panicked; who wouldn’t strive to survive?

After coming downstairs, he followed Adrian Lancaster into the dining room.

"Sorry, last night I was with my wife for New Year’s Eve, so I didn’t come to find you here." As he spoke, Adrian sat down at the table with an attitude like treating an old friend.

Black Hawk stared at the table full of food, startled for a moment. Was this exquisite and lavish spread prepared for him?

The appetite kicked in, and his feelings... were quite unsettling.

Adrian Lancaster glanced up, noticing him standing still, his gaze softened, "Sit down."

On the table, the servants had prepared double portions, identical for both of them.

Black Hawk didn’t look at him; after some thought, he sat in the chair opposite Adrian.

Looking at the bowl of shrimp and corn porridge before him, he opened his mouth, "Don’t ask me anything; I know nothing."

He didn’t intend to betray Elias Young.

Adrian Lancaster withdrew his gaze and picked up a spoon, "I didn’t ask you." He then sampled the porridge; whatever happens next, they’ll discuss after eating.

Adrian Lancaster’s insight was strong; he wanted to observe Black Hawk closely.

Black Hawk slightly raised his eyes, watched him for a long time, always unable to discern his thoughts, but Black Hawk felt Adrian Lancaster’s experience and composure was incongruent with his age.

The breakfast atmosphere was odd, void of interaction.

Adrian Lancaster treated him like air, silently and elegantly dining, not giving him a look.

With the tempting aroma filling the air, Black Hawk’s stomach had long been growling.

Finally, he picked up the spoon; just a sip of the corn porridge made him realize its exceptional taste.

Unlike Adrian Lancaster’s elegant manner, he directly lifted the bowl and gulped it all at once, as for what happens next, he’ll take it step by step!

During the meal, two henchmen stood at the restaurant entrance, eyes sharply observing everything inside, taking note of Black Hawk’s every move.
