"Sweet Angel Orphanage?" Jalen paused for a moment before recalling something. "Oh, I think I have some impression of this orphanage before." Roland's ears irked up the moment he heard Jalen's words. "I think this orphanage was involved in a scandal before, causing it to catch the public eye, exposing some of the dark secrets that the orphanage has hidden for so long." "The matter back then was actually very funny. As far as I can recall, it seemed that one of their orphans escaped, causing…

Janine nodded her head after hearing Roland's explanation. Although she knew that Roland was an orphan, it was only at this moment that she realized that he actually grew up in such a remote orphanage, away from the bustling Fore City. "Are you sad that the orphanage that you grew up with is now gone? " Janine asked curiously, recalling Roland's melancholic smile earlier. Roland chuckled, "You can say it that way.

Jalen's mouth twitched upon hearing Roland's words. For a moment, he forgot how to speak as he stared at Roland with a twitching mouth. In the end, he really did not speak any words at all.

The next moment, Nestor introduced the five of them to Roland, but mainly focusing on the man who was wearing a different outfit than the group. According to Nestor, the man's name was Jalen. Apparently, he was the son of the real owner of this plot of land before, the local Chairman of this town- Jansen.
