Chapter: Chapter 135
“To be honest, I think Bai Ling is a bit too overprotective of Xiao Ya,” Leticia said to her sister after Bai Ling had left with her younger sister.
Bai Ling was completely unwilling to listen to reason in this regard; she never seemed to consider telling her sister about her own affairs.
Is that right? Of course not. Bai Ya couldn’t live in a greenhouse forever; if she grew up like that, she would become a fragile ornamental flower.
Of course, if Bai Ling’s goal was to raise Bai Ya into a delicate and useless little flower, then Leticia had nothing to say.
All she could say was that this was a family matter for the Bai family, and it was better for them, the Infino family, to stay out of it.
“I actually wish I was protected like that,” Kira said meaningfully from the side.
“Cough cough cough, Kira, the way you say that makes me feel like you’re subtly criticizing me,” Leticia immediately coughed. Kira’s words were clearly hitting her where it hurt.
Her past attitude towards Kira was the complete opposite of Bai Ling’s. As much as Bai Ling doted on Bai Ya, Leticia tormented Kira.
Bai Ling tried her best to keep Bai Ya from coming into contact with darkness, shielding her world from it all by herself.
As for Leticia, she was quite something. She directly tore open the bloody reality and laid it out before the young Kira, letting her sister know how dark this world truly was.
Kira’s childhood could not be described as carefree. Although her childhood was better compared to her sister’s, Leticia’s childhood was truly dark.
“No, I just think it would be better to combine your methods and Sister Bai’s methods.”
Leticia’s parenting methods could be considered a disaster. Kira didn’t turn out wrong solely because of her strong psychological resilience. If it had been someone else, the Demon Princess might have already become a madwoman.
“That’s true. I also think I was a bit too extreme before; I should have been more gradual,” Leticia immediately agreed, while also making excuses for herself. “But you can’t blame me! I was only a few years old back then. I had to deal with those ill-intentioned people during the day, and I was annoyed by you, Kira, at night. How could I have a good attitude?”
The young Kira was incredibly annoying, especially when Leticia returned to her palace exhausted, only to find her sister hadn’t done any of her homework.
Her temper would flare up like wildfire.
“A disappointing sister who takes her anger out on her own sister,” Kira snorted.
“Uh, this.”
“Your Majesty, Your Highness, dinner is getting cold,” Xue Er said, clapping her hands with a smile, interrupting the conversation between the two sisters.
The maid felt that the relationship between Her Majesty and His Highness was quite good right now.
It would be best if it could continue like this.
Nothing significant happened that evening, except that the captain once again led people to chase the two figures in black around the central city for a good lap.
These two unfortunate figures in black were beginning to suspect that there was a mole in their organization. Otherwise, how could it be that as soon as they met, that detestable gray-haired person would immediately appear and chase them around with reinforcements?
However, they were only lower-level operatives in the organization. After their suspicion reports were submitted, there was no further response. They didn’t know if the organization was taking it seriously.
Judging from the situation over the past few days, they were clearly not taking it seriously at all.
Finally out of the gray-haired girl’s pursuit, the two figures in black leaned against the wall, catching their breath and continuing to discuss the orders they had received from above.
“Are we really going to make a move on that Su Qianqian? I think this is a bit too aggressive,” the tall figure in black said.
“Besides taking action, what other choice do we have? We can’t storm that place, can we?” the short figure in black retorted.
That manor couldn’t be breached head-on at all. Unless the top figures in the organization made a move, their ordinary combat strength would be like throwing an egg against a rock.
“It was you who concluded that we shouldn’t attack. You said you would be a spy, but no one wanted you, and you wasted two of my bombs for nothing.”
“Then I also said that Su Qianqian is probably not easy to deal with.”
“She’s still easier to deal with than the person in that cursed place. You also know the travel speed of a high-level ability user. Unless we break through the defenses within ten minutes and take away that half-elf, we’ll likely have to face Miss Bai and her reinforcements.” The short figure in black snorted. She had tried twice before, and the guards there were very strong, at least not someone she could easily break through.
She couldn’t, and neither could this tall figure in black. It was estimated that even a divine envoy would have to put in a great deal of effort to resolve it.
After careful comparison, the tall figure in black had to admit that it seemed safer to go after Su Qianqian.
At least she was a weak woman who couldn’t even lift a chicken, and she seemed to have been injured before and hadn’t recovered yet, with no one around her.
Looking at it this way, she was truly a perfect target.
If they captured her, even if they couldn’t directly exchange her for that half-elf, it would at least cause Bai Ling’s side to become conflicted.
What they needed wasn’t to directly exchange for the half-elf; as long as Bai Ling’s relationship with the half-elf deteriorated, they would have room to maneuver.
If they could truly confirm that the half-elf’s relationship with Bai Ling’s side had broken down, then their room to maneuver would significantly increase, and they could persuade the half-elf to join them.
“I really don’t know why the higher-ups care so much about this half-elf; she’s just an ordinary person with nothing special,” the short figure in black said with some dissatisfaction. “The operational funds would be better spent on me to research bombs.”
“The higher-ups must know something we don’t; don’t think too much about it. Also, giving you funds to research bombs is like putting money in the bank; at least it won’t be wasted.”
“My bombs are very powerful!”
“Heh heh.” The tall figure in black gave a cold laugh.
Then, her expression froze again because she saw the flashlight beam again and heard some messy footsteps.
No way?
That guy is endless, right?
“Damn it, can’t you two just behave? I want to go back to sleep!” The gray-haired girl walked out from the other side of the alley with a flashlight, a hint of helplessness on her face. She thought her work was done for the day, but on her way back, she saw these two meeting again.
There was no choice but to work overtime.
“Then why don’t you obediently go back to sleep? Why are you chasing us!” the short figure in black exclaimed, “Did we do anything to you!”
“I get paid for chasing you.”
“You fucking bastard, I’m going to kill you!”
