At the foot of Mount Pearl, the heroic girls were dressed in all-black attire with climbing tools tied around their waists. They were ready to go. Daisy glanced at Sis Iris meaningfully, saying, “Our goals for climbing up the mountain this time around are first, to clear the obstructions and bring Lil Fox back to the military intelligence division. Second…”She paused, then said, “Ready to receive your order, Iris?”Iris keenly replied, “Yes.”“The division is sending you to Yorks Stronghold on an undercover mission, Iris.”Iris was in a daze. “Me?”Going undercover required courage and insight. One needed to be bold as well as sufficiently vigilant and shrewd. Among the sisters, Iris was the most innocent and transparent—making her the least suitable for such a job.Therefore, all the sisters found the superior’s orders odd. Daisy had an obscure look in her eyes.“We are to obey the orders of the military intelligence division, so prepare to set off.”Very quickly, the 13
“Were you poisoned?” asked Jenson. Iris probably knew that her time was coming to an end. Once she pulled Jenson in, she uttered her last few words with much difficulty, “Baby Robbie, be careful of our foster father.”Ultimately, she took her final breath.Jenson proceeded to carry Iris on his back. Although Iris was the military intelligence division’s agent, since she knew of Baby Robbie’s nickname, it showed how close their relationship was. Even when she was on her dying breath, her warning to Baby Robbie also revealed how much affection Iris had toward Baby Robbie.Jenson could not abandon Iris because of that.At the very least, he could not let such a kind and innocent girl’s corpse be left behind in the wilderness. She would end up becoming food for wild animals.Jenson walked a section of the mountain road with Iris on his back. Then, he met up with Carson who came to help him.Jenson handed Iris’ body to Carson and ordered, “Carry her back to Green Plum Town. Tell my
Angeline hurriedly dashed out with a cloak in her hands.When Angeline saw Iris’ corpse, she was petrified.Jay was afraid that she would be cold, so he took her cloak and carefully placed it on her. He comforted, saying, “I’ll deal with the things here, Angeline. You don’t have to worry—”Angeline interrupted Jay and tremblingly said, “I know her. She’s Iris from the military intelligence division.”Angeline’s eyes were red in an instant, and her voice became choked. “When I was imprisoned by the military intelligence division and Jens brought people over to rescue me, she was the one who carried me out of their stronghold. She was cautious along the way for fear of me falling. I still remembered what she said to me. She told me that Lil Fox was a good person and that he had no choice but to treat me that way. She didn’t want me to blame him. She was a kind-hearted child. How did she…”Jay was choking with emotions when he said, “It’s no wonder Jens wants us to bury her. This chi
Jay was choked up as he replied, “Yeah.”Jay walked over and gently placed his hand on Baby Robbie’s shoulders. He said, “Jens, the Corvettes picked up a female corpse on the mountainside. She has the military intelligence division’s mark on her body. Come and help Daddy identify her.”Baby Robbie looked at Daddy in shock. He was calling him Jens but was asking him to identify a military intelligence division’s corpse? That meant he must have known that he and Jenson had switched identities. Daddy had tacitly accepted their little plan.Baby Robbie was puzzled by Daddy’s intention.At this moment, Baby Robbie did not want to think about it too deeply. His whole mind was focused on the female corpse they found.“A female corpse from the military intelligence division?”Baby Robbie practically staggered to Green Plum Town. When Baby Robbie saw Sis Iris’ body on the soft couch, he felt as if he was struck with a heavy object and was instantly stunned.Baby Zetty’s tender voice rang
Baby Robbie’s voice began to tremble. “Is it Sis Five?”Sis Five was the most brutal of them all, and only she could do things like killing one of their own.However, Iris’ eyes were still half-opened. Baby Robbie had no clue. In his heart, the other sisters were so gentle and kind…“Thirteen?”“Twelve?”…“Sis Two?”Baby Robbie’s frame of mind was getting heavier. The only one he refused to believe had done it was Sis Daisy, but only her name was left.“Was it… Sis Daisy?”Iris’ eyes gently fluttered across Baby Robbie’s palm like a butterfly flapping its wings.Baby Robbie moved his hand that was covering her eyes to see that Iris’ eyes were already fully closed peacefully.Baby Robbie’s eyes turned scarlet, and the sense of trust that had been built up over the years was instantly disintegrated. He stood up swaying and said, “Rest in peace, Sis Iris. I’ll seek justice for you and vent out your hatred. If they willfully slaughter the innocent, I’ll take revenge and wipe
After the grand old master spread the word, he soon left with Spencer.Jay turned his head and said to the two children, “Get in.”Angeline stood in place while somewhat glaring at Jay. She questioned him, “Where’s Baby Robbie?”Jay glanced at Baby Robbie beside him and a sense of panic flashed across his eyes. “Angeline, Baby Robbie… went back.”Angeline trembled and walked into the house while feeling dispirited like frost-beaten wildflowers. Baby Robbie abruptly ran forward and held Angeline’s hand. He said in a somewhat coquettish tone, “Mommy, don’t worry. Baby Robbie will be fine.”His tone was a little hurried for fear that Mommy would be hurt or sad.Jay’s footsteps froze in place as he stared at Baby Robbie in a daze.This child was born as positive as the sun and could always bring people warmth.Angeline stared at Baby Robbie, and when she caught a glimpse of Baby Robbie’s slightly upward, enchanting peachy eyes, Angeline’s heart instantly… stopped beating.Was th
Maya placed her basket at the entrance of the cave as usual, but at this moment, she suddenly heard a heavy kick coming from inside.Maya took a closer look and found a young girl in a white dress lying at the cave entrance. The girl’s clothes were covered with bloodstains, and there were many scratches on her face.“Little girl.” Maya shook the girl’s arm gently.The little girl had apparently fainted. The kind-hearted Maya hurriedly carried her into the basket and went back with her.“Mama,” Maya shouted as soon as she entered the house.Maya’s mother walked out and was shocked to see the little girl in the basket.Maya explained, “I picked up this girl from the cave near our family’s herb garden. Can you heal her, Mama?”Mama looked uneasy and replied, “The Corvettes were here earlier to inform us not to take in anyone we don’t know.”Maya smiled charmingly. “Look at her, Mama. She’s so young and delicate. How can she be a bad person? The gods told us to do more good deeds a
As soon as Judy left, Maya stepped foot into her house.“Uncle Zechariah, do you have bright red tree resin and pine rosin in your house?” Maya stood by the door and poked her head in. She asked Zechariah who was resting in the courtyard.Zechariah became anxious as soon as he heard the mention of these two herbs. “Who got injured in your family, Maya?”“I saved a wounded girl near my family’s herb garden, Uncle Zechariah. Mama said that her injuries are too serious and she needs bright red tree resin and pine rosin.”At lightning speed, Zechariah went inside the house to look for bright red tree resin and pine rosin. He asked Maya, “Do you know the little girl?”“No.”When Zechariah came out, there was a stern expression on his face that was full of vicissitudes. “Didn’t someone warn you not to take strangers in?”Maya smiled and said, “She’s just a child, Uncle. I can’t just leave her to die.”Zechariah felt like he needed to be vigilant as this matter happened during such a
