Chapter 1104: "What do you mean by that?" Rhys demanded, his expression growing stern.
"It's just that sthings are too complex and messy for someone your age. Right now, focusing on your recovery is what's important." "Hm?" Rhys frowned deeply. The idea of accepting treatment just to return to his incompetent thirty-three-year- old self was unappealing.

Christopher, increasingly flustered, fumbled for words.
"Um... It involves matters... Well, not really meant for children's ears!" From her hidden spot, Harlee was at a loss for words. Inappropriate for children? Since when had anything between her and Rhys been considered inappropriate? "Explain yourself!" Rhys insisted, his gaze turning cold.
Christopher glanced fearfully at Harlee, hiding in the corner, and then made a quick escape.
He rationalized that Rhys' mental state might shift again soon, so a temporary rift wouldn't matter much. With that thought, Christopher hastened his departure.
Rhys attempted to catch up with Christopher, but Harlee's guards intercepted him and pushed him outside.

As the men in black prepared to depart, Harlee quickly added, "And remember, no harm must cto him!" "Understood!" Her men nodded solemnly and withdrew slowly.

He had no recollection of the years between ten and thirty-three, and the missing pieces of his life made him distrust everyone, even Christopher, who had once been significant to him. The gaps in his memory were a puzzle he was determined to solve on his own.
After gathering his thoughts, Rhys stood up resolutely. In this strange world, he knew he had to navigate his own path forward.
Unable to communicate in the local language, Rhys wandered through the streets aimlessly, lost and disoriented.
