Chapter 367: Thirty-nine, go ahead and look, leave the matter to me_3
Although Sheriff knew the master had personally taken action, there should be no serious problems.
But could it really go so smoothly?
Was it truly worth it to sacrifice the young lady and risk so much?
Even if they really obtained the Golden Score, with the Treell Family’s power, could they truly play the Seven Notes·Divine Song?
Sheriff didn’t know. He only knew that he must protect the child in front of him at all costs.
And at that moment, a carriage suddenly stopped in front of the Treell Family’s door.
The little girl cheered with joy, “Daddy’s back!”
She was about to rush over but was preemptively stopped by Sheriff.
He stared intently at the carriage.
the Hailuo Family’s carriage!
Why would it be the Hailuo Family?!
Where was the master?!
Where was the young lady?!
A series of questions flooded Sheriff’s mind as the carriage window slowly opened.
A face that Sheriff least wanted to see appeared before him.
“Hi, Grandpa Sheriff…right?” Hewinia smiled brilliantly, “Where’s Daphne? I’ve come to take her to school.”
In that moment, Sheriff felt as though his heart and lungs were about to stop.
“It’s Sister Hewinia!”
Naturally, the little girl recognized Hewinia and, cheering excitedly, was about to rush over, but she was firmly held back by Sheriff.
“It’s Martha, huh.” Hewinia chatted amiably with the little girl as if she knew nothing, “You’re getting taller.”
“Yes, yes, Sister Hewinia!”
The two of them chatted warmly across the distance of over ten meters, as if they were close sisters.
Only Sheriff’s face grew pale. Looking at Hewinia’s beautiful face, he felt as if he were staring at a devil.
His hand had already moved to the Magic Wand behind him.
Even though there were countless people watching this scene because the carriage was stopped in the middle of the road, and the Hailuo Family’s insignia drew many yearning glances, in theory, Hewinia wouldn’t dare to act at such a time.
But Sheriff was still very afraid.
Because the last hope of the Treell Family rested solely on him.
And as Hewinia chatted with Martha, her gaze kept falling on him, making him realize that Hewinia already knew everything.
This meant the master had already failed.
Sheriff’s hand gripping the Magic Wand was already dripping with sweat. He didn’t know how long this “casual conversation” had lasted before he heard Hewinia call out to him again, “Mr. Sheriff, isn’t Daphne at home?”
He snapped back to his senses and looked at Hewinia once more.
He opened his mouth and with difficulty said, “Miss Daphne…is not at home.”
“I see.” Hewinia nodded with slight regret, “Alright then, I’ll go to school by myself. Happy Seven Notes·Syllable, little Martha.”
“Happy Seven Notes·Syllable!” Martha waved energetically, oblivious to everything.
Then the carriage drove away.
And Sheriff was left drenched in cold sweat.
Hewinia had just left like that?
Did Hewinia not know he was aware of the real situation, or was this a warning for him to keep quiet?
Sheriff couldn’t figure it out.
But he knew what he had to do at that moment.
The master had instructed that if they did not come back, he should go to the Taichu family.
It was a Monster! She must be taken down by the Taichu family!
He must not delay, must not harbor any hope for luck!
For the sake of the Treell Family, he had to act now.
With that thought, Sheriff immediately stood up, hurriedly gave some instructions to Martha with a pat on her shoulder, and then turned to run outside.
But after just two steps, he felt light as a feather.
Then, the world spun around.
He saw Martha standing there in a daze.
On Martha’s shoulder was still his hand.
Finally, amidst the little girl’s panic-stricken scream, everything plunged into darkness.
