In a large manor house with luxurious furniture and tapestries, three men and a woman were facing each other around a heavy walnut wood table. Four still smoking cups of tea were placed on this table but none of these individuals had touched it.
An old man with a well-defined physique tapped his fingers on the table without hiding his gloomy mood, while the three others, twenty to thirty years younger and slightly resembling him, didn't dare to face his gaze and bore the look of a puppy being torn a strip off after having peed on its owner's bed.
If Jake had been present, he would not have recognized this room, but he would have definitely recognized the mansion and the four people present. It was the mansion that the Wilderths had purchased in an Oracle City of the Oracle Playground and that old man was his grandfather Antoine.
