Chapter 1027 Jacob noticed that Travis had gotten off-track and quickly intervened.

"Mr. Mullen, we can't use Prince Rafael as an example. Sure, men like that exist, but that's not what we're discussing right now." Travis put on a look of deep sympathy, as if he were offering sage advice, and continued, " Vivi says she doesn't want to marry, and I'm all for it. If she doesn't marry, she won't get hurt. Young love is intense, but after tpasses, it just becomes gross.

"It's like iron with a coating of gold-when that coating falls off, the iron rusts and decays. Even with genuine feelings, it turns out like that. And then you have someone like Yuvan, who's all scheming and never tasted the sweetness of love. He's like an old thief. The minute a woman like Vivi steps into his life-someone who can heal his broken heart and also help him out-he becomes like a dog in heat and shows all his ugly sides." Jacob was utterly lost. After a long pause, he asked, "Is that something your mentor said?" If one hadn't been through so much, how could one possibly speak such words of weariness and wisdom? Travis definitely couldn't have said something like that.

"Yeah, my mentor has said a lot of things like that. Want to hear more?" Travis grinned.

"No thanks," everyone responded in unison, more than a little disgusted by the idea.

Yet, there was truth in Travis' words. Everyone took a moment to think, realizing that his perspective was rooted in human nature, which surely overpowered the behavior Yuvan had previously shown.

Carissa quietly noted the number of skilled servants and maids she had encountered at Edgeview Estate earlier that evening.

"There were 18 maids and 23 attendants. They didn't seem like suicide soldiers. Suicide soldiers undergo intense training, especially for high-risk situations. They instinctively react with defensive reflexes because they've been trained in life-or-death crises. I tested three of them today-one maid and two attendants. They showed no change in expression or bodily reaction when faced with unexpected pressure," she said.

Rafael nodded in agreement. "I agree. Suicide soldiers don't need to be calm-they need to be ruthless and completely obedient. Those who are as steady as that are most likely martial arts experts, probably used as bodyguards." They were all trained in martial arts and had undergone crisis training, but every move they made was calculated. However, suicide soldiers operated in the shadows. Their sole mission was to relentlessly pursue their target without hesitation, to the point of death.

When Icarus tried to assassinate Carissa, he had suicide soldiers with him. A few of them had been captured, and they had been tested. Just as Carissa had said, they responded 1/2 +25 BONUS Chapter 1027 exactly as expected.

"I've gone through nearly every part of Edgeview Estate except for the study in the central courtyard," Carissa said. "I didn't feel the bloodlust of a suicide soldier, but I can't say for certain that there aren't any. There could still be hidden rooms or secret chambers where they're being kept." "I'll look into it," Violet replied.

"No," Carissa cut her off firmly. "You're not going. You can't go back to Edgeview Estate." "Why not? It's the perfect opportunity! That was the plan when we went there tonight." Carissa shook her head. "At the time, we didn't know how vile Yuvan truly is. You can't go. That man is cunning and vicious, and he uses all sorts of strange poisons. If he poisons you and takes control of your mind, you'll be forced to do whatever he wants." “I'll be careful," Violet insisted. "Who knows? I might just find the suicide soldiers myself.”

Carissa was adamant. "No! That's not why we went there in the first place. We weren't looking for suicide soldiers-we were just trying to figure out what Molly's intention's were in inviting you and to observe the security of the estate. All their guards are disguised as servants and maids. They blended in everywhere without any clear order. That kind of unpredictability is even more dangerous. If you fall into a trap, you won't be able to escape. 11

"You can't go," she reiterated. "If they invite you again, you must refuse! Travis, keep an eye on her." Violet grinned playfully. "If you tellnot to go, then I definitely won't."

Having Travis keep an eye on her was pointless. He lacked what she had in abundance he was the En.
