Suddenly, Gilbert pulled Kisa to his chest."You'll find out tomorrow, so why worry so much?""But I feel uneasy. Something has been feeling amiss throughout our journey. Something's wrong, but I can't seem to put my finger on it.""I think you're overthinking because you're too anxious. Why don't..." Gilbert said as he gazed shifted to the neckline of her shirt, "We do something else? It'll help with sleep."The man smirked naughtily as he continued peering at the neckline of her shirt. There was a fire in his eyes that looked feral and came with a hint of suggestiveness.Kisa took a deep breath before shoving him away. Then, she turned her back to him.'I'm trying to tell him something serious, but he's always thinking about such things; we're on completely different channels,' she thought.The smile on Gilbert's face dropped a little.Then, he lay flat and cushioned his arm at the back of his head.'She's feeling uneasy, but so am I. Right now, I can't even guarantee that t
"I wasn't the one who started the fire. I also wasn't the one who threatened to make them disappear, so why are they afraid of me?"Gilbert growled in annoyance. Then his gaze grew icy, "What did you mean just now? Are you doubting me?"Kisa avoided his gaze and said flatly, "I didn't mean anything. But it's hard not to suspect you with how you're reacting right now.""What is there to suspect? Kisa Becker, whatever the f*ck you're trying to say, just say it to my face!"Gilbert was incredibly annoyed. He had a dark expression that looked as if he were about to beat someone up.Kisa took a step back and gazed at him darkly, "I'm not trying to say anything. As for the truth, we'll find out once the two jailers calm down later," Kisa said.Then, she walked toward a stone on the training grounds and sat down.Gilbert peered at her back coldly. Suddenly, he turned around, and his fist landed on the wall.The wall was made of dirt, so his punch almost shattered the entire wall.Kis
"You're all bad guys. Was making my daughter-in-law almost lose her life not enough? Now you're even trying to kidnap my grandchildren. Why are you outsiders so evil?"After hearing the old woman's words, Kisa immediately understood the situation.It turned out the old woman had thought Kisa wanted to kidnap her grandchildren.Gilbert said icily, "Nobody's kidnapping your grandchildren. Another thing, once I get the answers that I want, your two daughters-in-law will return safely.""Go rot in hell, you bad guys! Ever since you all came, our village hasn't been peaceful. Get lost!"The old woman's shouts quickly attracted the other villagers.Kisa glanced at the villagers. Most of them were women, children, and the elderly; few of them were young or strong men.Gilbert ignored the old woman's insults. He also ignored the fearful and repulsive gazes of the villagers.Then, he held Kisa by the shoulder and walked toward the house's entrance.A few of Gilbert's subordinates wante
Gilbert grabbed one of the jailers by the collar. He lifted the frail woman's frame instantly, "You'd better hurry up and tell the truth about what happened during the fire back then. Otherwise, you best believe I'll flatten your village to nothing!"The jailers visibly cowered.Then, Gilbert flung the jailer aside roughly. He crossed his arms while standing aside, "Another thing, the two of you better be telling the truth."Gilbert's expression was extremely ruthless and cold.The two jailers were terrified.One of the jailers said hurriedly, "I'll tell you. I'll tell you... But I don't know much about the fire back then.""That's right. We don't know much about it.""Then tell me everything you know," Gilbert responded icily.However, Kisa instantly furrowed her brows."Why do the voices of these jailers sound a little familiar?"She quietly dug her nails into her palms as she recalled the fire that had happened back then."Hold on... There are a few lines I want you two t
Kisa asked three questions in a row.Gilbert became tenser when each question was asked. He stared at the two jailers fiercely. His face was extremely gloomy and frightening because of nervousness and fear. Although he did nothing, he was scared that the jailers would talk nonsense and frame him. He panicked when he thought of the mysterious man who rescued the jailers.'The relationship between Kisa and me had finally become better. I can't let her misunderstand me anymore. Otherwise, we can't return to the past.'The jailers looked at Gilbert with evasive eyes as if they were ready to take hints from Gilbert to talk.Kisa frowned and said to Gilbert, "Go outside. I'll ask them.""No!" Gilbert's face was sullen. "What if they attack you?""You can let your subordinates watch over here."Gilbert still refused to go outside.Suddenly, Kisa sneered, "Why? Did you do something wrong? Do you worry they will expose you, so you insist on threatening them with your eyes here?""Kisa!
Gilbert stood up quickly and looked at Kisa nervously.As Kisa came out, so did the two jailers.There was still a look of fear on the jailers' faces. They handed each other as support and looked at Gilbert with evasive eyes as if it was really him who threatened them back then.Gilbert's heart was filled with anger for a long time. Seeing this, he walked toward the jailers immediately. He was full of fierceness, and his face was gloomy. The jailers screamed in terror.Kisa stopped him. She turned her head to the two jailers and said calmly, "Head home."Although the two jailers were full of fear, there was still a bit of guilt in the fear."M-Ms. Becker, we were possessed and did such insane back then. We're suffering the retribution now. Our days wear on like years in this remote and impoverished place. I hope Ms. Becker will stop hating us and hurting our children.""Yes. Besides, we have told you everything we know. I hope you won't disturb our life in the future. Oh! We rea
"I showed them the photo of Sharon. They were certain that it wasn't the woman in the photo."Kisa was also full of doubts when mentioning this.'I couldn't think of anyone else who had the motive to start that fire back then except Sharon. Another question is why the two jailers were scared of Gilbert.'These doubtful points made Kisa feel unease, and this matter was not over yet.Suddenly, Gilbert took her into his arms when she was thinking about it. He hugged her tightly. There was no irritation or gloom in his tone but joy and excitement, "Everything is fine as long as you believe that fire has nothing to do with me. I'll figure out who set the fire back then."Gilbert's voice became cold abruptly with a malignant scowl as he spoke, "I'll make the murderer pay a terrible price and revenge for you and our child."Speaking of the child, Kisa was reminded of the jailers' words. They had said, "You... have more than a child, right?"I can't remember clearly. The situation was m
Gilbert told Kisa, "Those two jailers locked you in the cell and caused you to suffer for the burn, but you just let them go? I'll make them suffer if you want to revenge.""What do you think of this place?" Kisa asked an irrelevant question suddenly.Gilbert remained silent and looked at her with confusion.Kisa looked around; all she saw were desolate mountains, dilapidated houses, and the distant horizon. This small village, located in the col, was extremely remote and decrepit.She looked at Gilbert, "They had been hiding for six years in fear. That's their punishment. Besides, even if they hadn't done those things at the time, others would have done it. It was ordered by the warden, after all."Gilbert narrowed his eyes slightly, "I must find the warden.""What if he passed away?"Gilbert pursed his thin lips and said nothing.Kisa said solemnly, "Besides that warden, we need to look for the woman they mentioned."The warden just followed that woman's order. So, that woma
