Chapter 256: A Bad Premonition (First Update)

Inside the hotel room.

Katini nestled in her mother’s arms, and Hai Lan stroked her daughter’s head. Although she was also very scared, she tried her best to comfort her.

They were terrified of being handed over; if that happened, it would truly be over. Those people had clearly torn off their masks.

Fortunately, Elu and the others had been with them, constantly reassuring them that everything would be fine.

Just then, the door opened, and Su Ming and the others walked in, laughing and chatting.

However, after they entered the room, they were startled to see Hai Lan and her daughter looking so frightened.

Su Ming quickly spoke to comfort them.

“It’s alright. Those guys have been taught a lesson and driven away by Teacher Mia.”

“Really?”

Katini immediately stood up, her face filled with joy.

“Of course it’s true. Our Teacher Mia is super amazing. Those guys not only came away empty-handed but were also beaten up.”

Rhein and the others said excitedly.

“Thank you all so much, thank you!”

Hai Lan’s eyes were red, and she thanked them with great gratitude.

Mia leaned against the wall, looked at the mother and daughter, and sighed helplessly.

“Sigh, another wasted effort.”

At this moment, Elu and the other girls, seeing how pitiful Hai Lan and her daughter were, asked with a sigh.

“How did you end up in such a state?”

When Hai Lan heard Elu and the others’ questions, tears streamed down her face, and she said with a choked voice.

“When the kingdom fell, my husband, Amis, the Third Prince of Scarlet Country, arranged a ship for my daughter and me to escape. However, the Imperial Army pursued us relentlessly, and our escort ship was sunk. At the last moment, my daughter and I, under the cover of the guards, managed to escape by lifeboat and were then picked up by a Federation ship and brought back to Black Flame Star.”

Su Ming was also surprised to hear this, not expecting them to be members of the Royal Family of Scarlet Country.

Hai Lan adjusted her emotions slightly and continued.

“After we arrived at Black Flame Star, we settled in a hotel. Although we suffered misfortune and our country and home were destroyed, at least my daughter was safe. This was a blessing in disguise. So we planned to stay on Black Flame Star for a while and wait for news.”

“Oh, so you fled in a hurry. No wonder you ended up on the streets.”

Elu and the others also felt great sympathy.

“Actually, it’s not like that. Although we fled Scarlet Country in a hurry, we did bring a lot of valuable things. It’s just that when we went out to eat, the package we left in the hotel was stolen. After that, my daughter and I were driven out, and then those people targeted us, finding various excuses and reasons to force us to sell our belongings at a low price. We really had nothing left to sell, but they still wouldn’t give up. At first, we didn’t know why they were doing this to us, but then they let it slip, and we found out that they were the ones who stole our things…”

Clap!

At this moment, a loud bang suddenly sounded, startling everyone.

Su Ming and the others all turned to look at Mia.

Mia slammed her hand hard on the table next to the wall and said angrily.

“This is too much! How can such parasites exist in the Federation? Is there no law? This is outrageous!”

Su Ming looked at Mia’s excitement, his brows slightly furrowed, and he had a bad premonition.

The next second, Mia walked directly to the edge of the bed and sat down, reaching out to hold Hai Lan’s hand, and said very sincerely.

“Sister, don’t worry! I will definitely help you get justice. Think carefully, what valuable things were in that lost bag? Think hard, don’t miss anything.”

“In that bag, there was a string of Star Crystal Pearl necklaces, which were my dowry when I got married. There was also a piece of high-purity Titanium Chromite, a box of dried Light Rock Grass…”

Hai Lan carefully recounted the lost items in the package.

Mia’s eyes lit up as she listened. These were all very valuable hard currencies, and she immediately said righteously.

“Sister, don’t worry! I will definitely help you get these things back.”

“Forget it. They are very powerful. You shouldn’t take this risk.”

Hai Lan shook her head and said disappointedly. She knew very well that these people were not ordinary people, so she didn’t want to harm Mia and the others.

“You don’t have to worry about that. I can definitely get them back for you, it just might take a little effort.”

Mia said meaningfully.

Seeing Mia’s confidence, Hai Lan quickly said to Mia.

“Adult Mia, if you can help us retrieve the package, just leave a little bit for my daughter and me, and you can have the rest.”

Mia’s smile almost couldn’t be contained when she heard Hai Lan’s words, and she forced herself to say.

“Sister, don’t worry, leave this matter to me. As for the rest, we can talk about it later, no rush!”

“Okay.”

Hai Lan quickly nodded in response.

Su Ming sighed secretly when he heard this. It was exactly as he expected.

At this moment, Mia turned to Su Ming and said.

“Su Ming, come with me.”

“Okay!”

Su Ming nodded in response.

“Teacher, where are you going?”

Rhein and the others asked curiously.

“Why ask so many questions? Just stay put in the hotel.”

After Mia finished speaking to Rhein and the others, she left the hotel with Su Ming.

—

Black Flame Base City Center.

Inside the grand hall of a luxurious manor-style villa.

A man wearing a finely tailored white floral shirt, with neatly combed golden hair, an incredibly arrogant gaze, and an exceptionally handsome appearance, walked on a thick, hand-woven carpet.

He was holding a dart and throwing it at a target on a stand with great interest.

At this moment, an older butler in a tuxedo walked over and said respectfully.

“Second Young Master, Zhan Wei and the others are back.”

“Let them in.”

Isaven said with a smile.

“Yes!”

The butler then retreated.

Soon, the butler led Zhan Wei and the others, who were bandaged, inside.

When Isaven saw them in this state, his eyes immediately turned cold, but he still asked with a smile.

“Where are the things I asked for?”

“Second Young Master, we didn’t get the things…”

Zhan Wei said tremblingly, but before he could finish his sentence.

Isaven directly threw the dart in his hand.

Crack!

The dart hit Zhan Wei’s left ear, piercing a hole through his entire ear.

“Ah!”

Zhan Wei immediately clutched his bleeding ear and screamed.

Amu and the others were instantly trembling with fear.

Isaven walked straight to the sofa and sat down, a cruel expression on his face as he said.

“Speak, why didn’t you get it?”

“Second Young Master, spare us. That mother and daughter were rescued by people from Royal Court Academy. We asked Upper Captain Dick to intervene, but the other party had a very powerful background. Upper Captain Dick, in turn, beat us up and also told us to tell you, Second Young Master, not to bother them anymore.”

Zhan Wei said, terrified to the extreme.

Isaven listened to Zhan Wei’s words and revealed a chilling smile.

“Interesting. You can all scram.”

Upon hearing this, Zhan Wei and the others felt as if they had received a great pardon and immediately scrambled out, crawling and stumbling.
