369 Wordless Ending
Unlike the first open visit, Xia Lan, who came to the Governor's Office again, sneaked in. Although the guards in the Governor's Office were extremely strict, they were as easy as walking in the garden under his superb concealment ability. Unless the Governor's Office has an unknown guard barrier or a mage with extremely powerful perception, it would be difficult for ordinary superiors to detect his traces.
However, when he kidnapped a servant in a mansion and asked about the whereabouts of Holebas, he learned that the other party was not in the mansion. After asking about the specific whereabouts, Xia Lan knocked the servant out and hid it in a corner of a courtyard. Putting himself in his shoes, he would definitely not have someone take Hermiya and his daughter to the Governor's Mansion. In this case, Holebas must have gone to the agreed hijacking place. The question is, where did Holebas go?
Maybe it needs to take a risk.
Xia Lan thought to herself, and the hidden aura gradually released a little. After a moment, she realized that a strong guard in the mansion was quickly following the trace. The fish took the bait, and Xia Lan immediately pretended to escape.
After leaving the Governor's Office and coming to a dark alley, Xia Lan stopped and her wide black cloak covered his face. After a while, a middle-aged man with a rich appearance slowly walked out of his sight.
"I thought the mansion was thieves, but I didn't expect to meet a master." The rich middle-aged man stroked the beard on his mouth, and looked at the mysterious man shrouded in black with interest on his round face and chuckled. "Tell me, what's your purpose in coming to the Governor's Mansion? Could it be that he was instructed by some forces to assassinate Sir Holebas?"
"Sir Holebas and I have no grudges." Xia Lan lowered her voice, making her voice look as low and vicissitudes as possible.
"Oh? If you have no grudges with Sir Holebas, you can visit you with dignity. Holebas is always very welcome to a strong man like you. So why do you have to sneak into the mansion secretly? Or do you have any secrets that you can't tell?" said the rich man with a smile.
"Do you know where Sir Holebath went?" Xia Lan said suddenly.
"Of course I know. As the steward of the Governor's Office, nothing is something I don't know." The rich middle-aged man said with his head raised.
"It seems that my choice is right."
After the words came, Xia Lan bowed her body, and a bright sword with green light shone in the dark alley in the blink of an eye.
The rich middle-aged man seemed to have expected it. After his fat body was as quick as a spirit cat, he avoided the sword tips stabbed by a mysterious man. Two silver lights slid out from his cuffs, and in a flash, he crossed the figures that were attacking the other party.
White Wolf Breaking Night
Xia Lan snorted coldly, and the sword edge directly slashed the two sharp blades in the hands of the rich middle-aged man at an incredible trajectory angle. In an instant, two silver rays were flying and spinning in the air, and Xia Lan's sword blade was already firmly placed on the neck of the rich middle-aged man.
“Where did Holebas go?”
The winner was decided in a moment, but Xia Lan simply said directly.
"You won, but I won't tell you where Sir Holebas is." The rich middle-aged man covered his bloody hands, his half-closed little eyes staring at Xia Lan.
"Even if it's death?" Xia Lan's sword blade moved and immediately drew a bloodline on the other party's neck.
"I'm afraid of death, but I'm even more afraid of the consequences of betrayal." The rich middle-aged man said coldly.
"I said that I have no grudges with Sir Holebas." Xia Lan frowned.
"I can hear this countless times every year." The rich middle-aged man sneered.
Xia Lan was silent for a long time. It was indeed difficult to meet such a hard guy who sacrificed his life and wanted to protect his master's secrets. He reached out and slowly pulled down the cloak that covered his appearance.
"Now you should know my purpose!"
"It's you?!" The rich middle-aged man was slightly stunned. His memory was very good. He would not forget the young man who visited Sir Holebath a few days ago. It was a secret he revealed that Sir Holebath had traveled tonight. He shook his head and said slightly, "Maybe I should have thought it was you."
"Where is Sir Holebath?" Xia Lan asked again.
"No. 52, the abandoned warehouse in Baifan District." said the rich middle-aged man calmly: "Before this, I need to tell you that Sir Holebath has no malice towards them, mother and daughter."
Xia Lan withdrew her sword, and quickly disappeared into the alley without looking back.
The rich middle-aged man wiped the blood flowing from his neck, and suddenly hissed in pain, and couldn't help but curse: "Damn! I was almost killed. That guy, why is he so strong? He seems to be able to step into the fernu law with half his foot. Fortunately, I pretended to be dead and pretended to be dead. It was really dangerous just now. Well, when I go back, I must ask the Jazz to compensate him well... The two beautiful girls must not be less comforted, the treatment fee of one thousand gold coins, and the mental loss fee of one thousand gold coins..."
The rich middle-aged man walked out of the alley while nagging. Finally, he turned around and looked at the direction of Xia Lan leaving and muttered to himself: "Sir, I hope you must not do anything stupid. I don't want to lose the leisurely and beautiful life now."
...
Hermia woke up from a dizzy state. The sudden abnormality of her body made her instinctively struggle. In an instant, an inexplicable palpitations surged into her heart, because her hands and feet seemed to be tied to a chair, and even her eyes were covered with a thick cloth strip. In the last memory left in her mind, she vaguely remembered that she was hungry to Catherland. When Catherland was looking for the servant to arrange food, she went to her mother's room, but she didn't remember anything.
Who is it? Who kidnapped her? Where is her mother? Where is she?
At this moment, a slight moan suddenly came from his ears. Hermiya suddenly heard that this was her mother's voice. She immediately shouted: "Mother! Mother! Are you okay?"
"Is it Hermia? I'm fine... but, we..." Ms. Anderin said weakly, as if she was still not awake from her drowsiness.
"We seem to have been kidnapped." After knowing that her mother was fine, Hermiya immediately felt relieved. However, her current situation once again made her feel nervous.
"Kidnap..." Ms. Anderin murmured. Then a squeaking sound of a chair shaking. After a moment, her voice slowly rang. "It seems that this is true. It's just the first time we have come to Port Louis. We are not familiar with the place and have no grudges with others. Why do anyone come to kidnap us?"
"I don't know..." Hermiya said, trying hard to suppress her inner fear.
"Andelin, long time no see."
Suddenly, a deep voice echoed in my ears.
"You...you...you are Hartley?!"
When Hermiya heard the voice and was about to question the other person's identity loudly, the mother beside her spoke. From her mother's incredible tone and the name she said, the person who came was...
"Andelin, it's me." Without surprise, the owner of the voice admitted the name.
"Hartley... Why? Why?" Andrelin's emotions suddenly began to get out of control, with unspeakable sadness in her voice.
"I'm sorry for inviting you mother and daughter in such an impolite way, but I have no malice towards you." Holebas said with a complicated look at Hermiya and her daughter who were tied to a chair in front of him.
"Why do you treat us in this way? Why do you tie our eyes? Do you just don't want me to see you?" Anderin sobbed.
"Sorry, Anderin. Please forgive me for my last resort." Sir Holebas said bitterly.
"You... are you the kind-hearted man who abandoned his mother and left?" Hemia could no longer bear the emotion and shouted out as she heard the sad conversation between her mother and the other party.
"Andrin. Is this our child back then?" Sir Holebas ignored Hermiya's personal attack, but looked at Hermiya with kindness.
"Yes, she is our child." Ms. Anderin said sadly.
"No! I will never admit that this guy will be my father!" Hermiya said excitedly. "In my eyes, he is just a scumbag who is unkind and loyal, abandons his wife and daughter!"
"A scum? Haha, if I am a husband and father, I can indeed afford this title." Holebas said with a wry smile.
"So many years have passed, Hartley, can you tell me the truth about you leaving back then?" Anderlin said calming down his inner sadness.
"When I bid farewell to you and went home, I tried to beg my parents to agree to our marriage, but I was strongly opposed by my parents and even put me under house arrest. Later, my parents arranged the marriage for me, and I..." Having said this, Holebas could no longer say, because he was indeed ashamed of Anderin and Hermia. If he had been more determined and brave back then, maybe he and Anderin would have another ending, but there was no if in this world.
"Why do you have to hide your identity over the years, even if you don't even want to visit us mother and daughter at all?" Anderin cried again.
"The fiancée family that my parents promised me back then is very powerful in Esdaq Trading City. If they know your existence, your situation will be very dangerous, so I..." Sir Holebas explained slowly.
"Doesn't you forget our existence forever if we didn't come to Port Louis to find you?" Hermiya suddenly spoke in a sarcasm.
"..." For a moment, Holebas was silent.
"It seems that I'm right! Hum! Mother! Now you should finally know the true face of this man, right?! Forget him! He is not your husband, nor is he my father!" Hermiya snorted coldly.
"Hartley, is this true?" Andrelin still seemed to have not given up.
"Yes, Anderin, forget me."
Sir Holebas said this with a painful face and turned around and left.
"Hartley! Are you unwilling to tell me your real name in the end?" Listening to Holebas's departure, Ms. Andrelin fell to the ground with the chair excitedly, tears wet her vicissitudes of face, and her grief was speechless and affected the atmosphere around her.
"I will notify people to rescue you at that time."
Holebas did not answer, but left this sentence and there was no sound again.
When he left the warehouse, Holebas was about to get on the carriage and leave, he suddenly stopped because he saw a familiar figure leaning against the street light at the corner of his eyes.
"Sir Holebass, is this really good?" Xia Lan looked at the other party and said indifferently.
"Young man, if you are willing to keep this secret, you will gain my friendship." Sir Holebas looked at Xia Lan with expressionless expression.
"What should they do?" Xia Lan turned her eyes to the warehouse and signaled.
"I will arrange for the pharmacist to treat Anderin's illness. After that, please send them back to Brito." Sir Holebas said.
"They will resent you for the rest of your life." Xia Lan said calmly.
"At least they can live."
Holebas sighed slightly with a bitter smile, and then got onto the carriage.
Looking at Sir Holebas's carriage gradually moving away, Xia Lan leaned against the street light for a long time, and Hermiya's loud cry for help came from the warehouse opposite him, but he was indifferent.
Is this successful?
