    Chapter 206


    Samantha became excited upon hearing the voice from the walkie–talkie.


    Even Danton smiled and said, “I’m sure the thing we’re looking for is inside. Bring it here.”


    “Yes, sir.”


    Shortly after that, the men who had gone into the basement returned with a rusty–looking safe. After


    they ced it on the floor, Darton and Samantha walked over and bent over to get a look at it.


    “Mr. Danton, Ms. Samantha, here’s the sate you asked for. Judging by its exterior, it’s probably seven


    to eight years old.”


    The rast around it was so bad that it could not be opened. However, the fact that It was so well hidden


    must mean it contained something very important.


    Danton asked, “Could this be the thing that Henry left behind? Do you think he locked away all of his


    documents inside?”


    Unsure of the answer herself, Samantha said, “It’s possible, but I can’t say for sure. Let’s take it back to


    my office first. We’ll find out what it is once we find a way to pry it open.”


    Danton nodded and had his men load the safe into one of their vehicles.


    Samantha stood up and looked at Adrian. “Let’s go.”


    However, Adrian ignored her and headed to the deepest parts of the nursing home.


    “Dear?” Samantha called out to him again hefare chasing after him.


    When she caught up, she realized that Adrian was staring around the nursing home in a daze. That


    was when she knew he was most likely reminiscing about his time with Henry.


    Adrian stopped before a wallpaper that had a few drawings on it. All of them were Ultraman. Although


    the drawings were not spectacr per se, it was enough to trigger his memories,


    Adrian reached out and touched the drawings. He vaguely recalled the time when he was seven years


    old. He followed his father to this very ce with the same scenery and wallpaper.


    However, the ce was no longer the same as before. Time had already passed, never to return again.


    Adrian was still a child at the time, and he got so bored that he drew Ultraman, a character he admired.


    He even recalled his father holding him in his arms and saying, “That’s not what he looks like, Adrian.


    Here, let me show you


    Henry then held Adrian’s hand and continued drawing on the wall.


    “What would you like to be when you grow up?” he asked the young Adrian.


    “I want to be Ultraman and protect Earth,” Adrian replied in his childish vuice.


    Henry burst into tears and held his son in his arms.


    And now, that very same child who wanted to herome Ultraman was all grown up. Yet, the man who


    had apanied him in drawing the character was no longer alive.


    Now, that boy was the strongest leader, with the ten strongest battle warriors as his apprentices. He


    possessed all the wealth


    the world and the strongest army


    He may not have be Ultraman, but he ended up being a hero with hundreds of sessful battles


    under his belt. He had so many contributions that they were uncountable


    He had protected an entire era by defending Navia’s burders.


    He turned himself into a legend that spread all throughout Navia for evesting time,


    Yet, the man this boy wanted to show all this was no longer there to witness his feats.


    “Father!”


    Adrian’s thoughts returned to the time when he was very, very little as he stroked the drawings.


    “Father, Father!” Adrian would always call out to him with that childish voice of his, rubbing his face


    against his father’s


    stubble.


    Now that he was all grown up, his father was no longer around.

    “Adrian,” Samantha called out when she saw how much of a daze he was in


    Samantha’s eyes were filled with tears. She knew that Adrian was thinking about all the times he and


    Henry had had together. ‘Henry was an outstanding man and a kind and proud father.
