Pablo stood in front of Baron and said in a voice audible only to the two of them, “The Goddess likes her very much and asked me to bring her again in a few days. Baron, some wishful thinking would never come true. Emerald Tribe is small. No matter what happens here,” He pointed to the eagle wheeling in the sky and smiled, “It could not escape my third eye.”
Baron took a step back and kicked Zack, scolding, “You damn fool, why don’t you cover me?”
Before Zack could make a response, he had stridden out.
This was clearly an insult to Pablo. The servants of Pablo were irritated. However, Pablo remained unmoved. He took a look at Zack, who had been kicked against the wall, and then at Kason, who had been watching indifferently from the beginning. Only then did he say to the people behind him, “Let’s go.”
The group moved on.
Zack, who was in the corner, slowly stood up and looked at Emily behind the wheelchair. Coincidentally, he met her curious gaze.
In two seconds, Emily sensed that the masked man was looking at her, and she immediately looked away in fear.
Standing there, Zack watched them leave. Then, he raised his hand in slow motion to touch the mask on his face. He lowered his head when he recalled how she shrinking back in fear.
Emily walked to the crossing before she finally turned back to take a look, only to find the masked freak had already left.
The buildings and people here were very strange. She raised her head and saw the flying eagle again. It had a broad wingspan and cast down a huge shadow almost like a small mountain. It cried so sharply that the sound might poke through the sky. When it passed above her, it created a small whirlwind.
Emily watched it flying for a long time without showing any intention to eat a human. She gradually relaxed.
Pablo asked, “Are you afraid of it?”
Emily was not familiar with him and did not want to talk to a stranger. But it seemed to be a little impolite to ignore him. Therefore, she just nodded gently.
She still distrusted these people. What if they did not take her to her mother?
But she instinctively believed the white-haired boy on the wheelchair, who had said that he would send her home.
Thinking of this, she moved closer to the wheelchair.
“It’s right to be afraid. A girl should not be so brave. Or else, how could men protect you? Do you understand?” Pablo said as he turned to look at Kason, who sat motionlessly on the wheelchair.
Emily nodded with a bewildered look.
Pablo found Emily quite interesting. He continued to tease her, “Who do you think is more handsome, he or me?”
Emily did not know how to answer.
She looked at Pablo more carefully. With a smile on his face, he did not look like a villain.
Then she turned to Kason. She walked to the front of the wheelchair and scrutinized Kason’s face.
He had a distinctly outlined face. His nose was straight, his eyebrows dark and sharp, and his eyelids slightly cast down. Probably because of the dazzling sun, he half-closed his eyes, just like a lazy lion basking in the sun. While relaxing, he was still a source of deterrence and oppression.
One could not tell from his appearance that whether he was a good person or a bad guy.
Kason looked like a star on television, who could play the big boss sitting behind the office desk reading documents. But the boss should not dress like him. They usually wore a suit, and tie, and had their hair combed back…
She stared at Kason for such a long time that Pablo smiled sarcastically, “Do you look at him longer because he is more handsome?”
Emily finally turned aside, scratching her head, and muttered, “You both look good.”
Pablo studied her and said objectively, “You look good, too.”
Emily looked at him innocently and answered, “You look good, too.”
Pablo was stunned.
He didn’t know what to say.
So, he decided to shut up.
Kason, sitting in the wheelchair, cast his eyes on Emily. She was still wearing the white robe wrinkled by water. Her hair was much longer and reached her waist.
She seemed to be thinner. Her robe was loose and worn, with a belt was wrapped around her wasp waist, which was so delicate that he felt he could snap it easily.
Emily turned around but found no one looking at her on her back. She scratched her hair in bewilderment and continued walking forward.
Every house had a courtyard. Some people planted fruit and vegetables before their doors, while some filled the yards with flowers. Some of the pears and apples were hanging out of the wall. The patrol picked them up but did not keep the fruits for themselves. Instead, they knocked on the door and returned the fruits to the owner. Only if the owner voluntarily gave them the fruit would they received and showed gratification.
There wasn’t any trash bin or cleaners on the way, but everywhere was clean and tidy.
Emily learned from people in the patrol that Pablo, who was always smiling, was the patriarch. Although she did not know what a patriarch was, it must be a very powerful position because everyone in patrol had to salute Pablo when they passed by.
He must be a high-rank official.
As Emily thought about this, she felt a little hungry again.
Fortunately, Pablo stopped the team before long. He pointed at a seemingly ordinary door and said, “We’re here.”
The servant went up to knock on the door.
As soon as the door opened, Emily saw an acquaintance and immediately ran to him.
It was Noah who opened the door. He first saw Pablo and was about to politely let him in. But then he saw the man in the wheelchair.
“What’s wrong? Who’s here? Why are you silent?” Ferne asked in a low voice.
Noah thought it over and did not answer, intending to leave the surprise to everyone else.
Emily had already rushed in. When Ferne saw that it was Emily, he immediately heaved a sigh of relief. “Heavens, my little Emily, you’re finally back!”
Jaquan rushed into the door and shouted, “Emily is back! Emily…”Jaquan swallowed the second line and his eyes popped out at the sight of the man sitting on a wheelchair.
Ferne jokingly patted his shoulder and said, “Jaquan, are you so excited to meet Emily again that you lost your voice?”
Jaquan pointed at the door. “Look for yourself.”
“What’s wrong?” Ferne glanced at the door, “Isn’t it Pablo…” But then he saw the man sitting in the wheelchair behind Pablo. He immediately let out a “fuck!” Then he looked back at Jaquan and shouted the curse again.
When he thought of Noah, he immediately closed his mouth. But he could not hold up the excitement and had to say it to himself.
Fuck!
Donna rushed out at the news that Emily had come back. Tears trickled down her face when she saw Emily safe and sound.
“Emily, you really scared me to death!”
“Mom, I am back! This young man sent me back.” Emily threw herself into Donna’s arms. After half a day of shock, fear, hunger, and panic, she said the second line, “I also ate two apples. I promised her that I would pay him later.”
Janessa and Emma, among others, also exchanged relieved smiles at one another.
“Alright, alright, alright. I’ll give him the money. Your safety is the priority. I have almost worried to death,” said Donna, wiping away her tears.
Others were also coming in at this time.
The attendant guarded at the door, while the patriarch, Pablo, pushed the wheelchair in and closed the door.
As a result, when the last one came out of the room saw the man in the wheelchair, he staggered and fell to the ground. He stared at Kason for a long time, forgetting to get up.
Other than Donna and Emily, everyone else seemed to be turned into stone. It was strangely quiet. For a long time, no one spoke a word.
Until Emily pointed to the person in the wheelchair and said, “It was this young man who sent me back.”
The silence was finally broken. Some, like Ferne, came back to their senses. He walked to Kason and tried to pinch his face. Before he succeeded, Kason beat away his hand.
As a result, Ferne looked at his hand beat by Kason and smirked at Noah, “He really is Vincent… Damn, he used to beat me like this…”
Noah was speechless.
For a moment, he did not know what to say.
