Blue Lake Estate.
Richard walked out from Eden, found the butler Jia Lie with a serious expression, and instructed him.
"Jia Lie, I need to go on a long trip now."
"A long trip?" Jia Lie was taken aback.
"Yes, a long trip. Don't ask where specifically I'm going; just manage the estate well while I'm away.
If someone visits me, like Bobbobovic or Joseph, tell them I'm leaving to search for a rare material due to research reasons, and might not return for some time.
If they're not in a hurry, they can wait awhile before seeking me out; if they are, they can leave a letter. I'll contact them promptly after I return and read the letters. Got it?" Richard asked.
After hearing this, Jia Lie nodded vigorously as he looked at Richard: "Got it."
"Good." Richard lightly patted Jia Lie's shoulder and turned to leave.
