Chapter 113 Action
At noon, at the gate of Ci'en Orphanage on the southeast outskirts of Igwynt.
The moment of celebration was interrupted by an unexpected change. Men in black suddenly appeared and surrounded Viscount Field, who was welcoming his seventh adopted daughter. The sudden change shocked everyone on the scene.
"My dear... this is..."
Anna was a little scared at the scene in front of her, while the housekeeper beside her spoke in a comforting tone.
"Don't worry, the Viscount will take care of it."
The men in black surrounded Viscount Field, the butler, and Anna. Everyone was on guard with guns in hand. After taking a quick glance at the men in black in front of him, Viscount Field spoke in a serious tone.
"Hunters, call your captain out to talk."
"No need for captain, I'm here."
A steady voice came from the hunter's head, and several hunters made way on the left. An older man in a well-fitting suit, with a mustache and neatly combed hair walked out slowly. This was none other than James, the current director of the Igwinter Security Bureau. Because this operation was of great importance, he came out in person.
"Hehe...it turns out to be Director James." Looking at James who walked out of the hunters, Field smiled slightly, then spread his hands and continued speaking.
"Can you explain the current situation? Mr. Director, has something happened here that is beyond our comprehension?"
James took two steps forward and looked at Viscount Field and spoke slowly.
"There is no Viscount yet, but we have received a tip that shows that you are in danger. We are here to protect you."
"Oh? Protection? Thank you for your concern, Director. But I don't need any protection. Please go back." Field waved his hand and said directly with a hint of anger in his expression, but James obviously had no intention of retreating.
"Your Excellency, this case is of great importance and involves the lives of many innocent people. I hope you can go back with us and cooperate with our investigation."
"I said I won't go and that means I won't go! James, I warn you, you have no right to take any coercive measures against me! All those who ordered you to get out of the way! Otherwise, I will call the city police!" Field said loudly with a wave of his hand. At this time, he was even more excited and obviously very angry.
Compared to Field's excitement and anger, James was much calmer.
"The city police also have no right to interfere with us. Don't worry, Your Excellency the Viscount... We will ensure your safety."
Seeing James's persistence, Field was speechless from time to time and didn't know how to respond for a while. At this moment, the butler who had been standing silently behind Field took two steps forward and walked to Field's side, holding a cup of tea and said to Field.
"Master, don't worry, have a cup of tea to calm your nerves. Or you can go with this gentleman today, and I will take Miss Anna home."
Taking the tea handed to him, Field stared at the butler beside him. After the two looked at each other for two seconds, Field drank the tea, returned the cup to the butler, turned around and looked at James again, and then said to him.
"Okay, I'll go with you. Please get out of the way. My housekeeper will take the child back first."
"No, the child must stay first. After we finish our business, you can come here to pick her up, Your Excellency." James responded sternly. Field frowned for a moment, then responded in a compromising manner.
"OK."
After saying that, Field leaned over and said to Anna, who was still very nervous, with a smile.
"Anna, please wait in the yard for a while. I will pick you up later. Be obedient."
"Hmm...I understand, dear."
Although she was a little reluctant, Anna still nodded obediently, then she carried the box and walked towards the gate of the orphanage reluctantly.
"Please, Your Excellency."
James stepped forward and personally invited Field. Field followed James without saying a word and got on a hunter's carriage. Seeing this, all the hunters returned to their own carriages.
Until the last moment, a hunter looked around the orphanage for a while, and only after seeing a worried white-haired girl at the door of the orphanage hall did he breathe a sigh of relief and leave and get on the carriage.
Then, the coachmen drove the black carriages away from the orphanage and drove away into the distance.
Carrying a small suitcase, Anna walked back to the orphanage with a sense of loss. The nun and several companions came up to comfort her.
"Sister Deidre, Viscount Field is a kind man. He will be fine, right?"
Anna looked eagerly at the old nun who was the dean and said, while the dean was praying.
"The Virgin Mary will bless those who are sincere and kind-hearted. If His Excellency is like this, then he will be fine... Okay, Anna, go back to the dormitory and have a rest. I will notify you when His Excellency comes back."
"Um……"
Nodding, Anna walked into the orphanage. She looked around the hall, trying to find Dorothy, but she didn't find her.
Just like that, Anna, feeling even more disappointed, walked out of the dormitory with her head down.
Just as she was passing through an empty corridor, a figure was approaching quietly from behind her.
Then, a pair of rough and fierce hands stretched out from behind Anna, picked her up, and covered her mouth with force.
"Ngh! Ngh! Ngh!"
Anna struggled hard, but it was completely useless. Her weak strength was not enough to break free from the restraints. The loosened suitcase fell to the ground. A bald man with a ferocious expression held Anna firmly from behind. He was the orphanage worker, Fitch.
"Don't move, kid..."
Holding Anna hostage, Fitch jumped out of the corridor window, then quickly ran over the wall in front of him, and then ran out of the orphanage through a secret side door.
Then, Fitch ran forward all the way, passed through a grove of small trees and finally came to a road. At this moment, there was a luxurious carriage pulled by three horses waiting for him. In front of the open door, a butler named Luer was waiting there with a cane.
"Sir! I have brought the things!" Fitch looked at Luer and said respectfully when they arrived in front of the carriage, and Luer nodded in response.
"Get in the car, we'll leave right away."
"yes!"
Then, several people got on the carriage and left the place quickly, and all this was seen by a crow in the sky.
"Hmph... maybe those guys have a spy inside the orphanage, who is monitoring the kids and organizing their rehearsals..."
On another side of the road, in another carriage, Dorothy murmured, then she turned her head and looked at the nun sitting next to her and spoke.
"They can't wait and have already started to act. Please be ready to track them, Sister Vanya."
"Um... OK, OK..."
