Although her Father was right in front of her, no matter how much she called out, her Father seemed not to hear or see her.
She reached out her hand, but it strangely passed through her Father's body, and her Father showed no sign of abnormality.
"H-how could this be?!" Shado murmured in a lost voice, turning to look at Samuel.
Samuel said calmly, "This is the Mirror Space. You can see him, but he cannot see You. I brought You here only to put Your mind at ease, not for You and Your Father to reunite."
"Why?"
"I need people to work for me. As long as You perform well, I will allow You to come back and personally save him from here!"
Shado looked at her Father deeply for a few moments, then came before Samuel and asked, "What do You want me to do!"
Samuel gently stroked Shado's cheek, looked at her resigned expression, grabbed her shoulder, and teleported directly out of the Mirror Space, arriving in an alley facing a street in Central City.
The two walked out, and Shado quickly realized that the people around them seemed to be able to see them, which meant they had left the Mirror Space.
"Give me Your hand."
Shado raised her hand in confusion, and a string of beads was placed on her wrist.
"This is a void battle bead. You can contact me through it."
After Samuel finished speaking, he used his Mind Manipulation Ability to download the memory about the void battle bead to Shado.
Shado was in a daze for a moment, then showed an incredible expression. She already knew what the void battle bead was and how to use it.
Samuel handed her a bank card and instructed, "Your first task is to buy a house, and then investigate a few people: Barry Allen, Caitlin Snow, and Cisco Ramon."
Shado nodded and said, "I will complete the things You have assigned as soon as possible, but—how, how should I address You?"
"My name is Samuel. You can also call me Void Lord!"
"I, I remember."
Shado waited for a few seconds, and seeing that Samuel seemed to have no other instructions, she turned and left in a certain direction.
Although she inexplicably gained a 'Master' for the rest of her life, Shado was still fortunate!
No matter what, she had left Purgatory Island, and those people couldn't use her to force her Father.
Just this alone, she felt it was worth it!
Moreover, she now had a chance to rescue her Father.
If she had to do it again, she would still make a wish to Samuel.
Exchanging what the other party wanted for what she wanted, this wish, or rather this transaction, she felt was still fair!
...
Starling City.
News of the yacht carrying the Quinn Father and Son encountering a shipwreck had already spread. Although less than a day had passed since the shipwreck, the Captain had sent a distress signal immediately when the shipwreck occurred.
Moira Queen, the wife of Robert Queen and mother of Oliver Queen, had already dispatched a rescue team, but no accurate news had been reported back yet.
The news had already broadcast relevant information. It was no exaggeration to say that one-fifth of the people in Starling City already knew that the Quinn family's Father and Son had encountered a shipwreck and were currently missing and their whereabouts unknown.
When Laurel Lance heard this news, her head buzzed, and she was completely stunned!
Her younger sister Sara and Samuel were also on that ship. If the Quinn Father and Son were in trouble, then they—
Laurel Lance frantically dialed her sister's and Samuel's phone numbers like a madwoman, but each time the result was the same.
Unable to connect!
In desperation, she could only tell her Father the truth: Sara and the Boss of the bookstore where she worked were also on that ship!
Quentin Lance's reaction was the same as hers, his little head buzzing. While asking Laurel Lance for the detailed inside story, he went to the Quinn family to understand the search and rescue situation.
Night slowly fell, bringing joy to some families and sorrow to others.
At the Lance house, in Laurel's room.
Laurel Lance sat on the bed, her eyes red, crying silently. She now regretted not strongly preventing Sara and Samuel from getting on the ship during the day. If her attitude had been stronger then, they wouldn't be in trouble now.
"Laurel."
A familiar call softly sounded. Laurel Lance was stunned and subconsciously raised her head.
"Samuel!"
Looking at Samuel standing before her, Laurel Lance cried out in surprise, immediately got out of bed barefoot, and hugged his neck tightly with her arms, throwing herself into his embrace.
"It's really great that You're okay, I thought You—where's Sara? Where is she?" Laurel Lance tilted her head up, looking at Samuel with hope.
Samuel shook his head.
Laurel Lance's heart sank instantly, and a bad premonition surged up.
"What does shaking your head mean? You haven't found her yet, or is she already—"
Samuel cupped Laurel Lance's face, wiped away the tears sliding from the corners of her eyes, and said softly, "Don't worry, Sara isn't dead, and she's fine, it's just that she might not be able to come back for a while."
"Why?"
"Why can't she come back?"
"You, are You lying to me, are You comforting me?" Laurel Lance questioned disbelievingly.
Samuel held her hand and sat down by the bed, seriously recounting the events of the shipwreck and how he later sent Sara to the League of Assassins.
Laurel Lance listened with a mixture of belief and doubt, her face full of confusion and incomprehension.
There were too many situations in Samuel's explanation that couldn't be explained by common sense, such as him knowing Sara's orders or future, that joining the League of Assassins was a turning point in her destiny, and that in the future she would become a hero who saved the World.
...
And for instance, he wasn't found by the search and rescue team and sent back, but teleported back directly!
Foreknowledge? Teleportation?
This was simply a fantasy!
"I know You don't believe it, don't worry, I've already notified your father, and in two minutes, oh, a minute and a half, he'll be home, we can talk together then!" Samuel said with a smile.
Time seemed to become particularly long at this moment, Laurel Lance stared at the clock almost second by second.
A minute and a half later, the sound of footsteps pounded, and then, the door of the room was suddenly pushed open forcefully.
"Dad." Laurel Lance called out in surprise.
Quentin Lance didn't respond, he drew his gun, staring intently at Samuel, and walked over.
"The person who was talking in my head, it's You!"
Samuel smiled without speaking, but his voice resounded in Quentin Lance's mind.
"It's me."
Quentin Lance's eyes narrowed, and he said in a deep voice, "I don't care what trick You used, and I don't care, I just want to know how Sara is, where is she!"
"Tell me immediately, otherwise—" Quentin Lance raised his gun.
Before the muzzle could even point at Samuel, Quentin Lance felt the hand holding the gun suddenly lose control, and then the gun in his hand suddenly flew with a whoosh into Samuel's hand.
Samuel looked at him with a slight smile, and the gun in his hand was instantly crushed into powder, scattering all over the floor.
"Otherwise—what?"
