The Box

"What is it?"

Evan Lin was quite curious about Damon Wang as well.

That gu parasite was later used by Evan Lin on Gavin Duan, allowing Gavin to become extremely powerful.

Ordinary people could never encounter such a gu parasite.

So, Damon Wang's background clearly isn't simple.

But up until now, Damon Wang has vanished completely, as if he evaporated from the world.

And now he's reappeared, wanting to give me something?

Evan couldn't help but feel a bit puzzled.

He and Damon Wang really weren't close; at most, they just got what they needed from each other.

"It's this."

Big Tank didn’t dare hide anything. He quickly took out an old-fashioned square wooden box from under the car seat.

The box was pitch black all over, with no special carvings or markings.

At first glance, it was just a very simple box.

Really nothing out of the ordinary.

"I was afraid of losing it, so no matter where I went, I kept it with me, just waiting to hand it over to you."

"I originally wanted to call you and let you know, but I was afraid you were too busy, so I didn’t dare disturb you."

As Big Tank spoke, he seemed a little embarrassed.

Evan Lin took the box; it felt slightly cool to the touch and wasn’t heavy.

"What’s inside?"

Lynn Chen asked curiously from the side.

Jill Jing and Gavin Duan’s attention were also drawn to the box.

Evan Lin frowned slightly; he could clearly sense waves of baleful qi coming from inside the box.

The baleful qi was extremely dense.

If not for the box itself, the murderous aura inside would have already burst out.

"Aren’t you going to open it and take a look?"

Lynn Chen saw Evan holding the box in silence, with no intention of opening it, and grew a bit anxious.

"There’s nothing worth seeing—probably just some little gift."

Evan shook his head and put the box away.

Whatever was inside might be something bad.

He didn’t want Lynn Chen or Jill Jing to see it.

Seeing Evan put the box away, Lynn Chen nodded and didn’t say anything more.

The car drove all the way toward Whitewood.

By the time they arrived in Whitewood, night had completely fallen.

Snow was coming down over Whitewood County.

After entering the county seat, Big Tank had all the accompanying Audis disperse, then personally drove Evan to the villa community.

"Do you want me to let Thomas Liu know you’re back?"

"While you were gone, he really took our projects seriously. Thanks to him, everything went smoothly."

Big Tank said this with genuine sincerity.

Thomas Liu had also repeatedly asked Big Tank about Evan Lin, but Big Tank truly didn’t know what Evan was up to.

Still, as a person—

Put yourself in someone else’s shoes.

Big Tank had met countless people and could genuinely tell that Thomas Liu cared about Evan Lin.

That concern might have some interest mixed in, but it was mostly the earnest expectation of an elder for a promising junior.

"Let’s tell him tomorrow. It’s already late."

Evan said.

He only knew Thomas Liu was close to Allen Ju, but wasn’t sure if Thomas knew Evan’s identity as Master Lin from Seacrest.

Evan really admired people like Thomas Liu, who sincerely wanted to accomplish real things.

The car entered the villa compound and stopped in front of the house.

Evan and the others had just gotten out when the villa door opened from inside.

"Mom, what a coincidence—were you just heading out?"
