Elijah Schmidt's expression grew grave as he stared at him. After Owl Eagle finished speaking, he slowly walked to the floor-to-ceiling window, prompting Frederick outside to hurriedly close the door.
The room became eerily quiet for a moment, and Owl Eagle stood by the window, his eyes gazing at the dark sea in the distance that seemed like a haunting specter, pitch-black, just like his childhood—indelible and shadowy.
Owl Eagle was sent to an orphanage in Sea City at the age of two. Although he was young, he had already begun to retain memories, knowing his name was Walter Schmidt and his mother was Yianran Dudley.
A month before, his mother had died of a serious illness in the hospital, and because he had no one to rely on, a kind-hearted person had taken him to the orphanage.
Owl Eagle always kept his mother's diary with him. As a child, he was illiterate and couldn't understand it, but as he grew up, he learned to read and pored over the diary page by page.
