Chapter 215 Let Him Go
The day Cather returned, Rose Island was surrounded by a sea of fire, with large swathes of flame devouring everything in sight.
The fire illuminated the entire sea area, and looking down from the sky, it looked like a sunset in the middle of the night.
It's breathtakingly beautiful and heartbreaking.
A warship bearing the emblem of the Northern Continent Royal Guards was docked in the bay.
Densely packed people in black combat uniforms swarmed like ants towards the island that had turned into a sea of fire, holding guns, military knives, and daggers in their hands.
When they see children running out of the base building, they will kill them without mercy.
The body was dragged away, brought to shore, and thrown into the dark sea.
Its soft, ungrown body was like dough, and it had almost no ability to fight back against this group of steel-like robbers.
"Enough! Enough!" Kaiser looked at the tragedy in front of him with bloodshot eyes. He wanted to rush over, but was held down by the special guards behind him.
He turned and yelled at the leading woman, "Tessa! Stop it! Make them stop! I said I'd bring him back to you!"
Tessa turned her head to look at him, suddenly sighed, and asked curiously: "Do you really think that I am only looking for the missing child?"
Cather looked at her in shock.
Tessa pointed at the island in flames. Facing Kaiser's incredulous gaze, she slowly said, "These children will become the sharp claws of the Golden Triangle nobles in the future. The power in the hands of the Golden Triangle nobles is already great enough. Now, it's time to take control."
"I have no problem with you managing those nobles in the Golden Triangle! But these children are innocent!"
"A knife is innocent before it kills someone, but who can guarantee that it will never kill anyone?" Tessa looked at him quietly, then suddenly tilted her head and smiled gently. "Don't worry, my men are very skillful. It won't hurt much."
"It's been so many years since we last met..." Kaiser's eyes were bloodshot, his tears reflecting the firelight, and his voice was hoarse. "How did you become like this?"
"Thank you for that." Tessa looked at him gently, her tone full of gratitude. "Thank you for teaching me so that I could successfully join the Royal Guard."
"——Power is truly much more useful than force."
Kaiser looked at the woman in front of him in disbelief, his voice trembling, "You've changed, Tessa, you weren't like this before..."
Tessa came over, gently stroked his face to soothe him, and said softly, "Thank you for saving me before. Now I have my own path to walk. Can you help me again?"
Before Kaiser could say anything, he was pulled back onto the boat from behind.
No matter how he struggled or how heart-wrenchingly he screamed, he could not awaken the other person's conscience.
The woman wearing military boots, holding a gun, and dressed in a black combat uniform was no longer the little girl he had rescued from the dungeon, but the commander-in-chief of the Royal Special Guard of the Northern Continent.
Her power is so terrifying and unimaginable.
"Tessa!"
At the last second before being pulled into the cabin, Kaiser suddenly burst out with unprecedented strength.
He desperately pushed away the people who came to catch him, walked towards Tessa who was about to get off the boat, and shouted, "Let go of that kid named Ning Yan! Tessa, I have never begged you for anything, I only beg you to let go of that kid named Ning Yan! I beg you to let him go!"
Hearing the sound, Tessa turned around and saw that Kaiser had been pinned to the ground by the special guard.
Blood and tears welled up in his scarlet eyes, his face pressed against the deck. He tried to raise his head, hoping for a response, a promise.
Tessa smiled and said gently, "Teacher, those who are favored by you are all elites."
Kaiser's eyes widened little by little, and the blood in his body began to flow backwards and solidify at the sight of Tessa's familiar yet unfamiliar smile.
He heard the other party say: "I am enough for such an elite."
"..." Looking at her leaving back, Cather suddenly started shouting madly: "No! Tessa! He is just like you before, he is just a child, he is just a very pitiful child!"
"Tessa! Let him go! You can throw him anywhere!"
"He won't threaten you! I swear he'll behave himself while I'm around!"
"Tessa!!!"
Boom——
The huge tree in the dense forest fell.
The flames spread everywhere, and the children who escaped from the clutches of the devil hid in the dense forest, but they were pursued not only by the cold special guards, but also by the raging flames.
At the end of the dense forest is a cliff, in front is a sea of fire, and behind is an abyss.
There was no escape for them.
It was impossible for a group of children, the oldest of whom was only sixteen, to remain calm in the face of such a life-and-death moment.
Fear and terror are infinitely magnified.
In the end, all the hatred was directed at one person——
That extra alien.
The misfit.
The person of unknown origin.
"K!" The oldest child suddenly turned around, staring intently at the person in front of him, pointing at him, and shouting, "It's because of you! They're here because of you!"
The others looked at him in bewilderment at his sudden attack.
Someone went over to pull him back: "Eun! Don't do this, this isn't the time for an internal conflict..."
You En pushed him away, turned around with a sullen face, and shouted, "What do you know? Do you know who he is? He is from the Northern Continent Special Guard! He is a traitor who escaped from there! If it weren't for Ning Yan and his instructor insisting on keeping him! None of this would have happened today!"
"What?"
"What did you say, Yune?"
"Impossible. Mr. Grant has already checked K's identity. Wasn't he sold from the underground city?"
A group of teenagers, a group of children, began to argue.
Panic and resentment, hatred mixed with fear, emotions that even adults cannot avoid, surrounded the dozen or so teenagers at this moment.
Finally, I found an outlet in one person.
Someone suddenly stood up and summoned the courage to shout at K: "Where are you from? Tell me clearly!"
"Yes, tell me clearly, are you from the Northern Continent?"
"Tell me, what's your relationship with the Royal Secret Service?"
"Look at how calm he is! Maybe all this is a conspiracy between him and those people from the Northern Continent! He's an undercover agent! A traitor!"
"Ning Yan, why don't you come here quickly? He's a sinister and cunning bastard! He's been lying to us all along!"
"You're the one who killed us! The instructors shouldn't have rescued you! You're the scourge! You're the one who killed them!"
K stood motionless in front of Ning Yan, without saying a word or refuting.
Spitting and hating, condemning and cursing, had no effect on him.
His face showed no change of emotion.
Finally, Ning Yan couldn't help it and shouted, "Alright! Shut up! Have you forgotten how you escaped death just now? Without him covering our retreat, would we still be able to stand here?"
"Especially you, You En." Ning Yan turned around and said coldly, "Aren't you just holding a grudge against him for kicking you in the jungle and embarrassing you? But don't forget, you, and you, and everyone here! Every success in your subsequent assessments is due to K's contribution!"
"At first, he didn't understand a lot of things. He did hit you, but it wasn't always you who started the conversation!"
"But what happened later? Didn't he help you during the assessment? Didn't he save you?"
"What an ungrateful bunch of beasts!"
The dense forest with flames shooting up into the sky and the cliff with biting cold wind, it was hell in front and behind.
And the devil was outside the jungle and in front of them.
You En's face was grim as he sneered, "Are we beasts? If we were beasts, we wouldn't have kept him in the first place! Who knows if he's just pretending to be nice to gain trust? Who knows if you're not in the same group?"
"Where's your instructor, Kaiser? Where's your life and death partner, Moros?"
"Where are they?! Where did they go when we were being hunted down and on the verge of death!!!"
Ning Yan was stunned. He opened his mouth but couldn't say anything. He lowered his head and frowned hard.
Because he doesn't know either.
Moros was missing, and Caesar had not returned since leaving the island, and he had no idea where they were.
Seeing his expression, You En suddenly started shouting: "See! He's guilty! They did it! Everything is their conspiracy. They are traitors, undercover agents, spies——"
Bang!
A gunshot rang out.
