Chapter 131: Intention

Brightman staggered back a few steps after being pushed by Huo Yin, but he quickly regained his balance and looked coldly at the boy blocking Anno's way.

Just as he was about to take a step forward, Dennis put his hand on his shoulder. "Bryman, take it slow. Don't scare the little one."

Upon seeing Dennis, Winnie and Doris immediately came over and picked Anno up.

Dennis led Brightman forward and greeted them with a smile.

Winnie and Doris exchanged a glance, both seeing the confusion in each other's eyes.

Why did Dennis come here? And he brought the child with him, without any guards, but he was clearly here for them, no, for the baby.

They arrived in Amber Island the day before yesterday. Tang Ting and Locke invited them to bring the children to stay for a while and revealed some information about Anno's background to them.

At this point, the two of them alone cannot protect Nuonuo and help her find the core; they need the help of more people.

The night Hailier revealed the location of Nono's core to them, they returned to find themselves under surveillance.

At this point, both of them understood that sooner or later, their superiors would find them and take them into custody.

At this point, time is of the essence.

Logan contacted her sister Shari, a beast with avian genes, an explorer who travels extensively to explore various aspects of the universe.

She first sent Xia Li to the Sky Tower to investigate Nono's core, and then they would make a plan after finding it.

Tang Ting had also left some information with the people he trusted in advance. They anticipated being investigated by their superiors, so they made arrangements in advance.

They understood that the baby's identity was merely a trigger; the problems in the North River system had been accumulating for years, and now was the time for them to erupt.

All they can do now is protect their families and children.

They are human beings, and human beings are complex, but they are also parents. Humans can be selfish, but paternal and maternal love cannot.

Parents' love for their children is always pure.

As people from the Northern River Star, perhaps everything they did was wrong, because their hearts were indeed biased towards Nono, towards their own child.

But as parents, they will do anything to protect their children and not allow them to suffer any harm.

They will not blame any problems on the children; that is the behavior of the weak and incompetent.

They will not make any excuses for the problems in the North River system. What they need to do is protect Nono and safely return her to her clan before solving the real problems in the North River system.

They could give everything for the North Star system, including their lives, but they didn't want to blindly follow or be a person of blind loyalty.

I don't want to be immersed in a false sense of prosperity, but to trample all the filthy truths under my feet.

Most of the apathetic yearn for life, while a few who wield the sword yearn for death.

In the current state of Beihe, only blood and pain can awaken those who are lost in delusion.

They are willing to bear all the consequences.

When Tang Ting and Logan's parents learned the truth, they were surprised and began to worry about Anno and them.

Now I finally understand the Zerg's recent actions.

Although both sets of parents still have many questions, they believe in their child and want to protect their home and family.

Tang Ting and Luo Jin stayed at Green Hill. They knew that the people above would definitely take them away for investigation, otherwise they wouldn't have made arrangements in advance.

Even Su Ya brought Huo Yin with them to Amber Continent, so things were probably more complicated than they had imagined.

“Bryman said he wanted to see Aloo, so I brought him here.”

Dennis said gently to Winnie and the others, "I also brought Brightman out for some fresh air."

Doris said calmly, "Is Minister Do You Have So Much Free Time?"

Dennis: "Even when you're busy, you still need to relax a bit. You don't need to be nervous. I only brought Brightman with me."

Dennis waved his hand and said, "Look, we didn't bring any guards. We just brought the kids out to play."

Winnie said, "Since Minister has also brought the child out to play, please make yourselves at home. We'll take the baby back first."

"So eager?"

Dennis smiled and said, "How about I treat you to a meal and we can chat about Tang Ting and the others?"

Dennis and Tang Ting have brought things out into the open, which means that Tang Ting and Locke have been taken away for investigation.

Winnie was about to refuse when Doris gave her a wink and stepped forward, saying, "We are naturally happy to welcome Minister and His Highness to visit the baby."

She needed to know how Dennis and his team would deal with Downing and Locke. Although she understood that Dennis might not tell them the truth, she also needed to see their attitude towards the baby in order to prepare for the next step.

If they were too obvious in their rejection and wariness, it would reveal to Dennis that they already knew Baby's identity and wanted to send her back to the Zerg.

Let's get rid of them first.

In a luxurious villa, waiters served plates of exquisite food to the table.

Anno sat on a raised chair, eating her baby food with a spoon.

Huo Yin sat beside her without eating a single bite, his eyes constantly fixed on Brightman, who was sitting opposite Anno.

Brightman didn't eat a bite either, he just looked at Anno.

Winnie sat next to Anno, occasionally putting other food on her plate.

Doris was chatting with Dennis about Downing and Locke in the yard.

"What are you going to do with them?"

Dennis smiled and said, "This is the investigation department's business, so it will naturally be done according to procedure. If they haven't done anything against the rules, they'll be back soon."

Doris: "So, on what charges did you begin investigating them?"

Dennis: "Oh? You didn't know?"

Doris sneered inwardly, but didn't show it on her face: "If I knew, I wouldn't have come to ask you."

"Then it seems they've kept it from you too."

Dennis looked at the little cub eating earnestly in the living room. "Tang Ting researched things she shouldn't have. As for Lokin, someone reported her for violating military law. Helier abused his power and transferred her to the First Legion. But we'll have to wait for the investigation results. You don't need to worry too much. Even if they are convicted, it won't affect you and Aloo. You don't need to make her leave the home she's lived in for so long; it will make her uncomfortable."

Doris's eyes flickered slightly, but her expression remained calm: "It's just that the children are on holiday, so I brought them out to play. Nono is very well-behaved and doesn't feel uncomfortable. She also wants to see more of the different world outside."

Dennis smiled slightly upon hearing this, "If the baby wants to see them, I can arrange it."

Doris glanced at them. "Then thank you in advance, Minister. If Nono wants to see them, I'll trouble you again."

In the living room, after Anno had almost finished eating, she pushed her bowl away. When she looked up, she saw that the boy named Brightman was staring at her, as if she were the only person in his eyes.

She felt very uncomfortable with his direct gaze, especially since she didn't know him.

But she also felt an indescribable feeling about him that attracted her and made her want to get closer. She was subconsciously resistant to people who were clearly strangers but had something that attracted her. She didn't want to let this feeling control her senses and behavior.

After seeing that she had finished eating, Brightman walked over to her and extended his hand to her.

Huo Yin was about to attack him again when Su Ya stopped him, saying, "Huo Yin, he is His Highness, the heir to the governorship. Don't hit him."

Huo Yin coldly stared at Brightman. He had never felt such hostility towards anyone before. His intuition told him that the boy in front of him was no good.

Anno ignored his outstretched hand and turned to Winnie, asking, "When are we going back?"

Winnie glanced at Doris and the others, patted her head, and said, "We'll go back in a bit."

Annuo: "Go back to Green Hill."

Winnie and the others brought her to Amber Island these past two days, and she's been feeling uneasy. Tang Ting and Locke contacted her yesterday, but there's been no news from them today.

Although they said they had important work to do before they left, she always felt that things weren't that simple.

Hearing Anno's words, Winnie's heart tightened. She said softly, "Okay, let's go back in a few days. There are still many places in Amber Island that we haven't taken the baby to play."

Anno: "Can I make a call to my mom and dad?"

Winnie thought to herself that Nono was really too perceptive. They had talked to her about her parents' work before, and she had been very well-behaved and hadn't asked any questions. But now that she was asking, it was clear that she had sensed something was wrong.

She had no choice but to continue telling Nuonuo, "Mommy and Daddy's job is to be a baby who can't communicate. They'll be able to communicate with you in a few days."

After hearing this, Anno didn't ask any more questions. She jumped off the chair and went to get the hat that was on the sofa.
