Chapter 1554

Good Kurt

Matteo pretended to be angry and shot her and Kurt a glare. “Do you think I don’t know what you guys
are thinking? When we get to that place, I don’t care what kind of stuff we’re facing, just don’t stand in
front, all right?”

Matteo was the big brother in this case. He looked at his sister and the young man who was following
him, and he thumped his chest. He wanted them to listen to him, and he would protect them no matter
what happened.

Vivian looked at her brother with admiration, while Kurt only smiled and said nothing.

A short while later, they arrived at the lab. Shin went to open a cabinet and took out a few hazmat suits.
“The radiation is powerful here. Wear this. Someone will take you kids down there in a minute.”

There’s someone else here?



The three of them quickly wore the suit, and not long after that, they heard the sound of bells ringing.
They looked up and saw a young lady in blue traditional attire.

“Master, my father said you wanted me here.”



Shin looked at her, and he pleaded to her politely, “Yes, Lucy. I need you to lead these kids down. You
know the place well.”

Vivian was confused, and so was Matteo, since he didn’t know anything about the girl.



Kurt, however, was calm. Karl had told him everything. Judging from the clothes the girl was wearing, he
realized that she might be a descendant of the aborigines whom Eddie had hired to build the
underground base.

“Sure, Master,” the girl named Lucy agreed readily.

She approached the trio in hazmat suits, and she smiled at them. “Hello. I’m Lucy, an aborigine here.”

“Hi, I’m Vivian.”

“And I’m Matteo.”

The siblings introduced themselves happily, and Matteo even extended his hand to the girl who came all
the way to help them.

Lucy blushed, and she shook his hand. Then she looked at Kurt, who was still quiet.

Vivian’s patience was running thin. Since their guide had come, she urged, “Let’s go inside. It’s getting
late.”

Lucy looked at Kurt one last time, then she followed Vivian inside. Hm, he didn’t even look at me for once
the whole time. What an odd person.

They finally came to their destination in the end. Shin, who was worried that they might get in trouble,
sent a few fighters to stand sentry outside the place.

The lab was built upon the waterfall’s source, and that was why Duncan noticed the black stone’s
element in the water. If they wanted to get the black stones, the only way to do that was to drill through
the underground.

“There’s actually a natural cavern here. It’s been here for hundreds of millions of years. The base is right
above it, and the waterfall’s source is below it,” Lucy explained the moment she came in.



Matteo quickly responded, “So that means the black stones should be on the cave’s ceiling, and that’s
where we’re heading, right?”

“Yes, but it’s dangerous. You guys saw how big the waterfall is. If you fall down by accident, the
stalactites will pierce you, and you’ll be swept away by the current as well. That’s going to be really bad.
The waterfall’s right out there, and it’s really high up. Fall, and you will perish,” Lucy emphasized.

When she finished explaining, Vivian blanched. “T-That’s really dangerous, Matt. What should we do?”

“It’s fine. I came with my tools, and you’d better not underestimate me. I trained a lot in the camp, and
I’ve become awesome.” He calmed Vivian down just like he did when they were kids, then he spread his
tools out.

Kurt noticed it, and he came over as well. “What’s the plan?”

“Huh?” Matteo looked up at Kurt. What’s the plan? I’ll be going down and getting the black stones. It’s not
something a kid like you can do anyway.

Matteo smiled and gave Kurt a grappling hook. “Be a good chap. Find a sturdy spot and latch this onto it.
After that, just keep an eye on my sister.”

A few moments of silence later, Kurt went away to find a place to latch the hook onto.

Good chap?

The veins on his forehead popped.
