Michael Mikkelsen.
Their father.
Just as Catherine is hunted by Klaus, Klaus is hunted by his father, Michael.
After all...
Klaus is not his biological son, but rather the child of Michael's wife and a neighboring Werewolf.
Klaus looked at his brother Elijah, with a charmingly wicked smile.
"I've already unsealed the Wolf Blood, Michael is no longer an issue, instead of using this favor on Michael, I'd prefer to use it elsewhere."
"Like…"
"I haven't decided yet."
Klaus gazed at the spot where Hawk had just disappeared: "But I will decide."
Fox Manor.
Caroline, Elena, and Stefan, who were sitting on the living room sofa waiting, stood up simultaneously the moment they saw Hawk return.
Gwen also turned her head to look at the returning Hawk.
Caroline was the first to speak: "Brother-in-law, how did it go?"
Hawk didn't answer immediately but first went to Gwen, giving her a kiss.
He would always kiss Gwen first upon returning.
This time was no exception.
After the kiss, Gwen also asked,
"Did Klaus give you this favor?"
"What do you think?"
Hawk smiled at Gwen, then turned his gaze to Caroline, Elena, and Stefan: "Klaus is no longer your issue, you don't even need to draw blood, as Klaus has found another Doppelganger to solve his problem."
Upon hearing this, Elena visibly relaxed.
Stefan, however, was taken aback: "Another Doppelganger? I thought Elena was the only Doppelganger?"
Hawk chuckled, glancing at Stefan.
"Apparently not."
"Then…"
"You can leave now."
Hawk directly interrupted.
He had no interest in chatting with Stefan and Elena, and he hadn't wanted to deal with this matter from the start.
But his fiancée had promised to help Elena with this issue.
So…
He stepped in just to support his fiancée, nothing more.
To be blunt,
If Caroline weren't his fiancée's cousin, even meeting him would be exceedingly difficult.
Just like when he was an ordinary person trying to meet Tony Stark, it was very difficult to see Tony Stark.
Stefan understood the implication and wisely chose to back off.
"…Alright, sorry for bothering you, Mr. Phoenix."
"No problem."
Hawk replied calmly, then said a word to Gwen before heading back to their room in the manor with her.
After Gwen closed the door, she turned to look at Hawk.
"Go ahead, I can get to the airport myself tomorrow."
"Wow."
Just as Hawk was about to speak, seeing Gwen's preemptive remark, he laughed: "Seems like I can't hide anything from you."
Gwen looked at Hawk with smiling eyes: "I just know you very well, Hawk, better than anyone. So yes, you can't hide anything from me. Where are you planning to go?"
Hawk smiled softly.
"Molokai Island."
"That is…"
"An island 48 nautical miles east of Honolulu, Hawaii."
"Because…"
"Merrick."
Hawk didn't hide from Gwen that after meeting Klaus, he unexpectedly learned from him that Dr. Merrick was likely on Molokai Island.
Of course.
He left out Klaus's mention of a pit of bones, seemingly formed by many, many of his clones.
Although Hawk didn't take this to heart, he knew if Gwen knew, she would definitely worry, so to avoid trouble, it wasn't called concealing but rather a well-intentioned concealment.
Upon hearing that it was an accidental tip from Klaus, Gwen blinked, then looked at Hawk: "Then you should thank me, Hawk."
Hawk raised an eyebrow.
Gwen smiled: "If I hadn't promised Caroline to help with her problem, you wouldn't have met Klaus, so thank me."
Hawk looked at Gwen seriously.
"Thank you."
"You're welcome."
Gwen smiled brightly, then collected her expression, looking at Hawk: "Go and catch this damn Merrick, finish it early, and come back early. I'll be waiting at home for you."
Hawk nodded.
"Then tomorrow…"
"I can have Caroline accompany me to the airport, so don't worry about me, hurry up and go, and this time don't let him get away."
"Okay."
Seeing this, Hawk said no more and after embracing and kissing Gwen, the moment he looked up, he was already soaring high in the sky.
Boom!
The sonic boom cloud appeared and turned into a bright streak, instantly speeding toward the direction of Molokai Island.
Meanwhile.
Just as Gwen, smiling, opened the door and was about to go downstairs, the phone rang.
Gwen took out her phone, glanced at it, and while walking down the stairs, answered the call.
"Good afternoon, Sharon."
"Gwen, S.H.I.E.L.D. Satellite just detected Hawk's energy fluctuation…"
"Hawk went to find Merrick."
Gwen descended the stairs, heading towards the living room: "Molokai Island, Hawk said it's an island near Honolulu, he just got the info that the real Dr. Merrick might be there."
On the other end of the call, Sharon responded.
"Thank you."
"No problem, you're our friend, Sharon, and as Hawk said, if it's you asking for the whereabouts, it's okay to tell you."
