Personality V: I will save everything

Chapter 634 Missing Person Notice.

Holmes suddenly realized that he might have said something wrong. His brows frowned slightly and his eyes flickered.

Antonio was obviously dissatisfied with Holmes' question. He gave Holmes a fierce look and continued:

"In short, Natasha and her current husband didn't know each other from the beginning. They met at a certain time and place, and then gradually developed feelings for each other. But now they are very happy, so please don't ask about these details anymore, okay?"

Holmes heard the impatience in Antonio's words, but he was not angry.

Instead, he gave an understanding smile and nodded to show that he understood.

"Yes, I see," said Holmes quietly. "Since they are happy now, I will not ask any more questions. Thank you for telling me this information."

After saying that, Holmes chose to shut up and no longer ask questions about Natasha and her husband.

He knew that sometimes enough was better, and he didn't want to make Antonio uncomfortable.

the other side,

Kurt was filled with anxiety and uneasiness about meeting his book fans in the pub. He was never good at communicating with others, let alone facing a group of strangers. At this moment, what he was most worried about was that his mental illness would suddenly break out.

Once he got sick, he would probably lose control, which would not only put him in an embarrassing situation, but also cause trouble for the people around him. Especially in Miss Bourbon's tavern, if he suddenly went crazy here, the consequences would be disastrous.

However, just as Kurt was worried, he noticed another scene: Demi, the proprietress of the tavern, was yelling at a group of drunkards.

"Sit down, all of you! You bunch of drunkards, just sit down and be nice, don't force me to throw you out!" Demi's voice was loud and majestic, as if the whole bar could hear her roar.

Kurt couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. It seemed that those drunks had annoyed Demi first, and Demi was also a very brave lady.

This way, he doesn't have to worry about his mental illness breaking out for the time being.

.................................................. ........................

After scolding those drunks until they calmed down, Demi suddenly realized a serious problem - there were not only adults in her bar today!

And those curse words she used just now seemed a bit... inappropriate.

Demi's eyes involuntarily turned to Itakuya's direction, and her heart suddenly tightened. However, when she saw Kurt tightly covering Itakuya's ears, she couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Kurt's actions were very quick and timely. He obviously realized the negative impact those words might have on the child, so he took action without hesitation.

His hand was like a solid barrier, effectively blocking out those unpleasant words and protecting Itakuya's young heart.

Kurt secretly thanked himself for his quick reaction. As soon as Miss Demi uttered the first syllable of the word, he covered Itakuya's ears as fast as lightning.

He didn't want this innocent child to hear those vulgar words.

"I'm so sorry..." Demi said apologetically, her voice trembling slightly. She covered her mouth as if trying to hide her embarrassment, and carefully climbed down from the bar counter.

This is not the first time something like this has happened. For Demi, it is almost a daily occurrence for some people to cause trouble in her pub.

These people were either drunk or just looking for trouble.

However, Demi had no way to deal with it. After all, it was common for drunkards to cause trouble in a bar, just like it was common for patients to appear in a hospital.

Faced with these troublemakers, the only thing Demi could do was to intimidate them with her powerful aura.

She knew very well that if she was not fierce enough, these people would become more aggressive and might even attack her.

So, every time she encounters such a situation, Demi will not hesitate to show her tough side and let those troublemakers know that she is not easy to mess with.

.................................................. ........................

Demi was very nervous, she felt that she would definitely be laughed at by Mr. Kurt Frank.

After all, Kurt was such a successful novelist, he had money and fame, things that seemed to come easily to him.

In contrast, Demi is just a small, low-level tavern owner whose life is dull and unremarkable, in stark contrast to Kurt's brilliant achievements.

She felt like a crazy woman who might do anything to protect the pub, but it was the only thing she could do.

Demi thought that Kurt might never understand her situation, after all, they came from two completely different worlds.

However, to her surprise, Kurt's answer was totally beyond her expectations.

"You never have to apologize for those spikes you have," Kurt said gently. "You're only doing it to protect yourself."

These words were like a bolt of lightning, instantly piercing through the haze in Demi's heart.

She originally thought that Kurt would sneer at her behavior and appearance, but she didn't expect that he could understand her difficulties.

.................................................. ........................

There was something a little strange in the atmosphere, and Kurt was keenly aware of it, so he decided to cleverly change the subject to ease the slightly awkward atmosphere.

His eyes fell on a photo behind the bar, which seemed to be a breakthrough, so he pointed at the photo and asked with a smile: "Is that your family?"

Demi looked in the direction of Kurt's finger, with a hint of barely perceptible sadness in her eyes, but she quickly regained her composure and replied softly, "Yes, the people in the photo are my brother and mother."

As she spoke, Demi reached out and took the photo down, held it in her hand, and stared at her relatives in the photo, as if she could see the happy times of the past through the photo.

Kurt noticed Demi's change of mood and waited quietly, not interrupting her thoughts.

After a while, Demi spoke slowly, her voice slightly low: "My mother died of illness. That was the darkest moment in my life. Not long after, my brother suddenly disappeared and I have not heard from him since."

She took a deep breath and continued, "But I can't give up. I have to keep this pub open because I believe that only in this way can my brother find his way home."

Kurt was moved by Demi's strength. He looked at the seemingly weak woman in front of him and felt a surge of admiration in his heart.

"Can I take a closer look?" Kurt cautiously reached out his hand and asked Demi for the photo. He hoped to observe the person in the photo more closely and perhaps find some clues from it.

Demi hesitated for a moment, but finally handed the photo to Kurt, as if she had an inexplicable trust in him.

Kurt took the photo and looked at it carefully. In the photo, Demi was still an innocent child with a bright smile, and the young man standing next to her should be her brother, right?

"Well, in that case, I have a good idea......"

.................................................. ........................

In fact, this idea can be traced back to when Kurt went to visit Kreacher.

In recent times, a puzzling thing has occurred frequently in the city: many parents have reported to the police that their children have disappeared mysteriously.

This situation put the police into extreme dilemma and anxiety.

The police chief felt overwhelmed by the situation. Scotland Yard had limited police resources and was unable to cope with so many missing children cases.

What's worse, they have various other cases to deal with and cannot devote themselves to the work of finding missing children.

Someone suggested printing flyers to expand the search area, but the sheriff was well aware of the limitations of this method.

Those flyers were often posted on the wall for less than an hour before being torn down by various people, some of whom might use them as post-it notes, while others might simply burn them as firewood.

In short, these missing person notices are unlikely to attract people's attention and fail to play the role they should.

However, the sheriff and Lydia are good friends, which provides a glimmer of hope.

When the sheriff came to the hospital to deal with Efron Weisz's affairs, Kurt happened to be in the hospital to visit Kreacher. During the communication, Kurt suddenly had an idea and thought of a brilliant idea.

"Give me the photos of the children, along with their names and characteristics, and I will print them in my latest novel," Kurt said seriously.

He knew very well that missing person notices posted on the wall would often be torn off or even thrown away as garbage, but if this information was printed in a novel, the situation would be completely different.

Kurt is a best-selling novelist himself, and his works have a large number of readers. When his new book is published, many people will definitely buy and read it. In this way, the photos, names and characteristics of the missing children will be seen by more people.

And because readers pay for the book, they are less likely to destroy it, which means information about missing children can be spread more widely, increasing the chances of them being found.

Kurt believes that this way, a better publicity platform can be provided for the missing children, so that more people can pay attention to their situation. Perhaps, one of them will suddenly remember seeing a child when reading the novel, or can provide some clues about their whereabouts.

In short, Kurt hopes that through his efforts, he can help these children return home as soon as possible and reunite with their families.

.................................................. ........................

The sheriff was naturally delighted with Kurt's help.

However, as he was about to hand over the children's information to Kurt, a worry came to his mind.

So the sheriff couldn't help but ask Kurt a question: "But will this have a bad impact on your book? After all, people buy books because they like your work and the plot of your book. But if they find information about missing children in a book after reading it, they will probably feel uncomfortable, right?"

This question is indeed thought-provoking.

After all, readers often buy books for the pleasure of reading, not to be bothered by sudden heavy topics.

Who would want to be immersed in a wonderful story and then have the wonderful reading experience suddenly interrupted by information about missing children?

However, Cooter had a very different view on the sheriff's concerns.

He answered without hesitation: "How can someone who doesn't even care about missing children read my book?"

Kurt doesn't care if doing this causes him to lose readers.

He firmly believed that if a reader would be disgusted by his work simply because there was a missing person notice in the book, then he would rather not have such a reader.

.................................................. ........................

Turning back to the present,

After hearing what Kurt did, Demi covered her mouth in surprise. Kurt's actions were almost self-destructive, but he still did not hesitate.

"So, Miss Demi, if you're willing, could you give me a photo of your brother before he disappeared, as well as his features? It's just printing one more person anyway."
