Chapter 1337
“So, after Vanya passed away, her daughters went missing?” The voice of 1-1 resounded, pulling
Sheldon’s thoughts back to the past.
“That’s right.”
1-1 paused, then asked again, “And what happened after they scattered?”
“After they scattered, the eldest daughter ended up in the slums, while the younger one was traded
several times by human traffickers, ending up back in our homeland as an orphan.”
1-1 was not yet sure of Vanya’s identity, but his hands began to tremble, “And then what?”
“And then…” Sheldon let out a deep sigh, “The eldest daughter, Emilia, didn’t have it easy either. She
died years ago. The younger one, Eleanor, was luckier. She married Bernard.”
Sheldon didn’t know much about Emilia and Eleanor’s specific experiences, so he simply explained in
a few words and didn’t say anything more.
“Vanya’s eldest daughter… is dead?”
1-1’s eyes were filled with disbelief, but Sheldon nodded and said, “She’s been dead for many years.”
Noticing 1-1’s shocked expression, Sheldon found it a bit odd, “Why are you so interested in Vanya and
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇther daughters?”
Snapping out of his thoughts, 1-1 shook his head at Sheldon, “You should go.”
Sheldon stared at 1-1 and wanted to ask more but eventually didn’t. He got up and left.
Immediately after his exit, the man in black who had been sent out earlier called in.
“Sir, there’s nobody on the deserted island.”
“I see.”
No one being there meant that she had been rescued. As long as she was rescued, there was still
hope.
Thinking this, 1-1 picked up his phone and dialed 1-3, but he didn’t answer. Anticipating what might
have happened, 1-1 quickly put on his mask and headed for the biochemical area.
As he entered, he saw a bunch of men in black lying scattered across the floor.
Bernard had single-handedly taken them all down with a scalpel.
And 1-3 was in the midst of a bloody fight with Bernard, neither willing to back down.
Seeing this, 1-1 furrowed his brows, pulled out the gun from his waist, and fired a shot towards the wall.
“Bang-”
The loud gunshot echoed in the room, and the brawling duo quickly stopped and looked towards the
source of the sound.
“What’s this all about?!”
Confronted by 1-1’s question, 1-3, somewhat embarrassed, pushed Bernard away and stood up, “This
jerk said I couldn’t beat him one on one. I didn’t believe it, so I…”
He had discarded his weapon and started a fistfight with Bernard.
As the fight escalated, the men in black saw 1-3 at a disadvantage and joined the fight.
To everyone’s surprise, Bernard didn’t utter a word, even when he was surrounded and beaten.
1-3, who had never been bullied before, immediately ordered the men in black not to use their guns,
opting to handle Bernard himself.
He was determined to beat Bernard into submission, but after a while, not only had Bernard not given
in, but 1-3 had also taken quite a beating.
Seeing 1-3’s mask almost smashed to pieces, 1-1 shot him a stern look, then jerked his chin towards
the door, “Come with me.”
1-3 immediately nodded, stepped over the bodies of the men in black, and quickly followed 1-1 out of
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmthe biochemical area.
Bernard, slowly getting up from the floor, watched the two figures recede, his brows furrowing…
He was so close to unmasking 1-3.
After exiting the biochemical area, 1-3 removed his hood and spat a mouthful of bloody saliva onto the
ground, “I must say, Bernard’s got guts. I kind of like him.”
“Didn’t you notice that he was trying to provoke you so he could remove your mask?”
“I noticed…” 1-3 wiped the blood off the corner of his mouth, “But he couldn’t.”
If Bernard dared to unmask him, he would shoot him.
“Be more careful around him in the future.”
Faced with the imposing 1-1, 1-3 was somewhat afraid and quickly nodded in agreement.
“Yes.”
1-1 took out his cell phone, pulled up the surveillance footage, and handed it to 1-3.
Seeing the face on the screen, 1-3 was taken aback, “Who is this?”
“This girl is Eleanor. She’s Bernard’s wife.”
1-1 briefly explained, then coldly ordered 1-3, “Go find her and bring her back home.”
1-3 understood, nodding at 1-1, “And what about Bernard?”
“Don’t touch him for now.”
1-3 returned the phone to 1-1, “Okay, I’ll go find her now.”
