Chapter 704 A Slap to the Face, Mother and Daughter Reunited [1st Update]
His tone was neither hurried nor slow, yet it carried an immense sense of authority.
Two months ago, when Norton had just returned, the knight commanders of the four major knightly orders had already paid their respects.
The reappearance of the Sage's Chariot in the Sage's Court also signifies a further division of power.
The expression of the Holy Grail Knight commander changed drastically in an instant.
His legs buckled and he knelt down with a thud.
Sinai's eyes were covered, so he couldn't see anything, only hear sounds.
As if sensing her tense body, the man raised his hand, touched her earlobe, and let out a cold laugh: "Shh, baby, don't be nervous."
This kind of intimate contact is no different from the flirting between lovers.
But his voice remained cold and devoid of any emotion throughout.
"Lord Chariot!" The leader of the Grail Knights knelt on the ground, finally finding his voice.
He was nearly driven mad, his throat dry: "I deserve to die! I was presumptuous! I didn't see anything!"
He stumbled upon the Sage's Chariot having a tryst with a woman.
Sinai's body tensed even more, and her pupils contracted sharply.
The Sage's Chariot?!
Sages are all one, so why would the Sage's Chariot come to cover her?
Norton's voice was icy: "Why aren't you getting out of here?"
The leader of the Holy Grail Knights scrambled away, not daring to look back.
"The assassin isn't here, keep searching!"
Sinai breathed a slight sigh of relief, but at that moment, she felt her body temperature gradually rising.
Oops.
She had exhausted herself while escaping, and the antidote's effects wore off prematurely, so her body was about to revert to its original state.
We absolutely cannot change back at this time.
But in terms of both physical strength and combat prowess, she couldn't compare to the Sage Chariot.
A full minute passed before Norton finally released his grip on Sinai, but his other hand still covered her eyes.
Sinai's wrist was grabbed, and a strong force pulled her forward.
Ten minutes later, Norton stopped and let go of both hands.
He stood behind her, his tone casual: "Go this way, get out."
Sinai turned around, only to see darkness.
A slender figure could be vaguely seen from behind, but nothing else was clearly visible.
Sinai rubbed her reddened wrist.
I didn't even see what the Sage's Chariot looks like.
Sinai walked out along the passage and arrived at the city center.
By this time it was completely dark, and the nightlife of the World City was just beginning.
"Bang!"
The next second, she went from 172cm back to 120cm.
Sinai: "..."
She took out the child's clothes from her spatial folding bag, changed the child's clothes, and left.
**
This way.
The knights searched the area but couldn't find anyone who matched the assassin.
Forced to return to the Sage's Abode, he sought an audience with the Sage Magician.
“My Lord Magician,” the Grail Knight commander said respectfully, “we haven’t found the assassin. It’s possible that—”
Before he could finish speaking, he felt a powerful pressure enveloping him.
Norton arrived unexpectedly and stood right behind him.
The leader of the Holy Grail Knights was startled and knelt down again, his body trembling: "Lord Chariot."
Norton didn't look at him, his voice cold: "Get out."
As the people closest to the Sage, the four knight commanders were naturally aware of the Sage's strength.
The Sage Demon represents the pinnacle of combat power.
His combat power is too high; no sage has been able to detect it yet.
The Sage's Chariot and the Sage's Power combined might be able to barely manage a draw.
Even if the chariot's combat power is lower than that of the demon, it is still not something he can fight against.
Compared to the magician, the tank is definitely more terrifying.
The leader of the Holy Grail Knights didn't dare to say a word and immediately withdrew.
“Get out.” Norton crossed his arms and leaned against the wall. “You believe me, I have the ability to completely tear your room apart.”
"..."
A dozen seconds later, someone came in through the back door.
The man was completely shrouded in a black robe and wore a hood.
It looks eerie and terrifying.
Sage, magician!
"Chariot, what are you trying to do?" The magician's voice was dark and hoarse. "We are both sages, there is no difference in rank between us. What is the meaning of your sudden intrusion?"
Norton raised his eyes, then simply raised his hand.
With a "smack," a hand landed on the magician's face.
The force was too great, and the magician was caught off guard.
He opened his mouth and spat out a mouthful of blood.
The magician was both shocked and furious: "Chariot, do you intend to start a second Sage's War?!"
"You won't learn your lesson until you see blood." Norton stepped forward, bent down, patted his face, and smiled. "Your men disturbed me, my prey escaped, and I have no food today. What are you going to give me in return?"
"Chariot!" the magician exclaimed furiously. "The priestess has performed divination and examined the horoscope. The horoscope indicates that the demon is returning. We should work together."
He raised his voice: "At this point, you still want to fight amongst yourselves?"
“I said—” Norton tightened his grip, tearing open his wound again, “Leave me alone.”
The magician gasped in pain: "You..."
The intense pain prevented him from standing up for the time being.
Only a sage can harm a sage.
Damn it!
The magician was so angry his heart and lungs ached.
This time, he's really done for.
Unexpectedly, when the tank returned this time, its temper was still as unpredictable as before, and its actions were completely illogical.
The magician stared intently at the man's back, his eyes filled with malice.
Even wise men have secret rendezvous with women.
That's outrageous.
The magician wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, took a deep breath, and staggered out the back door.
Outside the door.
The leader of the Holy Grail Knights did not leave; he remained kneeling on the ground.
"Lord Chariot." Upon seeing Norton emerge, he trembled even more violently. "If you need women to relieve your urges, Her Majesty the Queen can select noble ladies from throughout the city for you!"
He lowered his head: "It is their honor to serve you."
The Holy Grail Knight leader couldn't see very clearly from the front, but he could tell that the woman had a great figure.
Norton coldly uttered a single word: "Get out."
The leader of the Holy Grail Knights once again fled in a panic.
Norton frowned.
What woman?
He recalled for a moment.
oh.
Norton shrugged.
Tsk, he's already forgotten what that woman looks like.
Anyway, he didn't look at it carefully.
**
This is the air traffic area.
The scene of the explosion.
After the rescue team dispersed the crowd, they went to rescue people.
To their surprise, none of the cars hit by the explosion were occupied, and there were no signs of injury or death.
“Captain,” one of the team members said, “According to the victims, someone rescued them. This person was very fast, and they didn’t even see their face.”
The rescue team leader was stunned: "Is that so?"
He immediately turned on the live monitoring and found that a lot was missing.
And coincidentally, they were all the footage of the victims being rescued.
The system was hacked and erased.
Who has such great ability?
The rescue team leader could only think of the word "sage".
He must be a sage without a doubt.
It's impossible for anyone other than a sage to save all the victims.
Another team member said, "Captain, we still haven't found anything that looks like a bomb, so we can't speculate on how the explosion happened."
"There was only one body, completely charred."
"Return the team for now." The rescue team leader pondered for a moment. "Report this matter to the Sage's Academy immediately!"
Anyone who dares to plant a bomb in a busy area should not be let off lightly.
This way.
"Madam!" The head guard rushed over, looking anxious. "The rescue team has sent word that they've found a body, and preliminary assessments suggest it might be the Divine Physician!"
The head guard's heart was also cold.
It's over.
The young, renowned doctor had gone to great lengths to revive Suwen, but now he had gotten himself into trouble.
How will the Lengel family repay this now?
Su Wen tightened her cloak, her face showing no sign of surprise, and said calmly, "Return to the family."
The head guard dared not speak and followed Suwen back.
At 11 p.m., no one in the Lengel family dared to rest.
A notice about the deceased has been posted on the W website, but no one has come to claim the body.
Who else could it be but the miraculous doctor who treated Suwen?
Bi'er and the Second Madam exchanged a glance.
The death of a renowned doctor is actually good news.
"Go and rest, everyone." Su Wen waved her hand dismissively. "For the next three days, starting tomorrow, everyone must stay at our home residence every night. No excuses are allowed. Do you understand?"
Bi'er opened her mouth, about to say that she would be staying overnight at the research institute for the next few days to ensure the perfect progress of the experimental project, but was stopped by a look from the Second Madam.
She was holding a grudge inside.
Sure enough, Suwen woke up, and all their power was taken away.
Suwen watched as everyone left one by one before returning to her bedroom.
Many of the devices in this room are outdated and still look the same as they did twenty years ago.
But she liked it very much and had no intention of changing it.
On the bedside table is a photo of the two of them.
The man had a handsome face with sharp features.
His posture was upright, like a sharp blade drawn from its sheath.
Lu Yuan, the patriarch of the Leinger family!
"I don't know where you are," Suwen whispered, "but I know that if you were still here, you would definitely come back."
She stroked the photo and smiled: "I met a little girl today, she's smart and beautiful."
"If our Tantan were still alive, she would be about this age."
Suwen stared at the photo for a long while before putting it back.
She went into the kitchen to prepare some snacks.

The next day.
graduate School.
Yesterday's bombing has been the subject of much discussion.
"Ying, I don't know if you saw it." Ye Siqing said with lingering fear, "I was on the air bus going to the East District to buy something when I got stuck in traffic. There was smoke coming from the road ahead."
“I didn’t see it.” Ying Zijin said without changing her expression. “I was buying clothes in the city center that day.”
She not only saw it, but she was right at the epicenter of the explosion.
"Alas, this is truly terrifying. What a pity for that divine physician." Ye Siqing sighed. "To be able to revive Madam Suwen, his medical skills must be exceptional. I've heard that many nobles want to invite that divine physician to treat their illnesses."
Ying Zijin seemed to be deep in thought.
It seems that the lifelike doll that Fu Yunshen made for her is indeed so realistic that it can be mistaken for a real person.
However, the cost was indeed too high.
An explosion not only destroyed a car worth 1 billion yuan, but also ruined a lifelike mannequin worth 2 billion yuan.
Ying Zijing looked down at her phone.
[Sinai]: Someone saved me yesterday, Ah Ying, I'm sorry to have dragged you into this.
This explosion was clearly aimed at Sinai.
Ying Zijin's eyes narrowed slightly.
"I'm fine, it was bound to happen sooner or later. Starting today, you can stay in the villa without worry. This afternoon I'll take you to meet my friend."
She rested her chin on her hand and started searching online for tips on taking care of a six-year-old child.
We'll pack it up and hand it over to Norton later.
Let alone children, Norton has only a handful of people he's in contact with.
One of them, one of them, one of them, a vice principal—that's all.
The rest of the people were for dissection in Norton's eyes, regardless of gender.
There was a knock on the door at that moment; it was a senior student.
The male student blushed slightly: "Student Ying, someone is looking for us outside."
At the same time, a new message popped up.
[Suwen]: Little Divine Doctor, I've arrived. I'm in the woods behind your dormitory building.
Ying Zijing lowered her eyes and stood up: "I'm going out for a bit."
Ye Siqing nodded: "Okay, there's only one last bit left in the experiment, we're sure we can finish it."
With Ying Zijin around, she is now confident of surpassing Group A.
I don't know where Bi'er gets her sense of superiority from, she's been coming over every day to mock them these past few days.
Ye Siqing then buried herself in her experiments.
Here, Ying Zijin arrived at the location Suwen had mentioned.
Suwen was standing under a big tree.
She looked up after hearing footsteps.
The girl did not disguise herself this time.
Her phoenix eyes were shrouded in a hazy mist, clear and captivating.
Her features were exquisite, her beauty as breathtaking as cherry blossoms on a branch.
"Thud—"
The lunchbox in Suwen's hand fell to the ground.
For a long time afterward, Norton spent his days taking care of children.
**
Yesterday, my teacher told me that she had recommended Ying Huang to one of her other students.
I:? ? ?
This is a social media frenzy, I'm too tired to laugh anymore :)
