Wicked Reincarnation

Chapter 225: Rescue 3



Chapter 225: Rescue 3

"Are you ok?" Lia heard Yano's voice coming out of her hand. The golden circle glowed and lit up the dark surrounding. Right now, Lia stood in an empty street after taking Yano's portal.

"You seem to mess up the coordinates frequently."

"Sorry," Yano's embarrassed voice made Lia smile.

"It's alright, I'm not far from the M family's mansion."

"Ok, keep me updated."

"Yes," with that their conversation ended.

Lia's heartbeat calmed down after Yano's voice faded. Just a few hours ago, Yano and Lia shared their first kiss. Lia could still feel Yano's lips on her. Just the thought and sensation of it made Lia tingling and red from embarrassment.

But she couldn't deny it felt too good to be true and she craved for more. Once all of this was over, Lia wanted to be in Yano's arms forever and spend the rest of their lives together.

For that, Lia needed to get going. The night in the capital was quiet. Just like how Lia previously came back from the abyss to the capital, the city in the aftermath of the battle, has been void of any people and warmth. The silent night accompanied Lia as she swiftly made her way to the M family's mansion.

Lia barely remembered the one time she visited the M family's place, back then Lia was with Leo and they played in the garden away from everyone.

The M family based themselves in the third layer, just next to the forest that cut the third layer short, and north-east of the academy that was in the first layer. Lia's current position was in the fourth layer, she just needed to rush to south and would be there in less than 5 minutes.

The surroundings flashed as Lia ran at full speed. No sounds emerged, even though lights were on in some houses, nothing could be heard.

Soon the mansion came into Lia's view. Surprisingly, there weren't any guards. Maybe it was because that no one would think of the crazy idea to attack one of the council families, especially one that had a captain in the Ghost King's private army.

The wall that surrounded the mansion was at least two metres tall. Lia effortlessly jumped over it and landed in a little garden in the front area of the mansion. A small pond surrounded by pebbles created a tranquil sound of water dripping. The path was also covered by little stones that created a noise that ripped the peaceful atmosphere as Lia kicked them against each other.

From the front area, Lia could see that a few lights were on. She already made up her mind to sneak into the mansion and not just announce her presence. The way she'd get into the mansion would be through the brother. Lia picked up one of the stones and stealthily walked around the mansion to check the windows. She needed to find the room of Eri's brother.

A few minutes later a stone was thrown against a window. A few seconds after that, a small shadow appeared in front of the window. Then the next, the window was opened and a small head popped out.

The confused eyes of a young boy looked around in the dark garden before he surprisingly fell to the ground. His gaze remained on the window as a beautiful female stood in the frame jumping in front of the small boy.

However, the boy wasn't afraid as he watched the female closing the window and turning to him. The boy stood up and dusted off his clothes before he said, "Big Sis."

"You still remember me?"

Lia looked at the messy hair of the tired boy.

"Of course," the boy nodded as if the answer to her question should've been obvious.

"You don't mind if I'm here?"

The boy shook his head, "I'm alone No one's home."

Lia froze, "Your parents and sister aren't?"

The boy shook his head again. Lia could understand Eri going away but Elder and Madam M really left their son alone at home?

"What about attendants? Guards?"

"We don't have them."

"What?" Lia narrowed her eyes. What was the meaning of this? How could a council family not have people to guard and protect them?

"Did they leave because of the war?"

"We never had them."

Boom. Boom.

Lia's heart sped up. Something was wrong here. How could they-

Lia watched the boy's face. Every time Lia talked to him she's got these eerie feelings.

And Lia finally knew why. Because the boy spoke of important and dangerous matters as if it didn't have anything to do with him. He didn't care or maybe he didn't realise the importance of these things.

"Aren't you afraid?" Lia felt bad for the boy who stared at her with no emotions only asked, "Why?"

"You're right. Nothing will happen to you. When will your parents come back?"

"I don't know."

"You don't know?" however the boy made no attempt to answer.

He just continued to stare at Lia, "What about your sister?"

"Soon."

So he didn't know when Elder and Madam M would come back but knew confidently about his sister? Could it be that his parents might-

Lia looked with a complicated gaze at him before throwing unnecessary questions away, "When is soon?"

"Maybe in a few days?"

"That's soon?"

"Yes, sis is on a mission."

Lia tensed up. On a mission? That wasn't good. Absolutely not. Eri being on a mission meant that Min had planned something and if Min planned something then it'd be definitely something on a large scale.

"Do you know anything else about this mission?"

"Only that the other captains will be away too."

Lia bit her lips. It was indeed a large scale mission.

"Where?"

"I don't really know."

"I see," things have changed.

They need to change their plans. Whatever Eri and the other captains were doing, Lia had to figure it out and report to Yano and the others to figure out a way to counterattack.

They couldn't let Min gain the upper hand.

"So all the captains have left the capital?"

The boy nodded.

If all the captains were gone then this could be Lia's chance. Not minding the boy listening, Lia tapped on the circle.

Not even a second later, Yano picked up, "Lia everything alright?"

"Yes, it's just," Lia glanced at the boy, "Things have changed. Apparently, the captains are out of the capital on a mission. You know what this means, right?"

"Trash has begun to sort himself out."

Lia couldn't help but laugh hearing Yano's words, "He's planning something."

"Yes, this is what I thought-"

"No," Yano cut Lia immediately off not even giving her a chance to speak, "Come back. We'll discuss it with everyone and then come up with a new plan."

Lia knew Yano would say this. She also knew that what she was about to do was reckless but a better opportunity than this couldn't surface again.

"I'll stay here and scout the situation."

"No!" Yano's voice was filled with anxiety, "Lia please come back. Let's-"

"Yano, I can do this. Trust me. If only M- Trash and some soldiers are present, it's easier for me to sneak into the palace and we'll need less time."

"Do you even hear yourself talk? Even for me, it'd be impossible. Just come back. Don't do anything stupid."

"I won't. If things go south, I'll instantly retreat. I also have this to talk to you. I'll keep you updated. Trust me."

"Lia" Lia knew Yano still wanted to bring her up from the idea but they both knew Lia's stubbornness.

Although Lia should know better, there wasn't a better opportunity than this. Lia could figure out the secret in the palace as well as what mission Min sent the captains on.

"Alright," Yano eventually gave in, "But if I call you, you quickly pick up, ok?"

"Yes, I promise."

"If the situation is dire, run the hell away, ok?"

"Yes, yes," Lia smiled a bit hearing Yano's weak sigh.

"Please take care. If anything happens to you-"

"I know, I'll get back to you," with that Lia ended the conversation and was ready to leave when the young boy tugged on Lia's clothes, "Big sis, you're going to the palace."

"Yes," Lia wondered what the boy would do. Part of the reason why Lia let this boy hear was because she anticipated his reactions.

"But that place is full of bad people."

It was as Lia thought. The boy held no good feelings towards Min and his private army.

"Why are they bad?"

"Because they they because my sis is also bad. Just like they all are."

"Then do you know what I'm going to be doing?" Lia crouched in front of the boy and took his hand.

"No," the boy aggrieved shook his head.

"I'm going to destroy the bad guys," Lia couldn't believe the words that came out of her mouth but apparently it seemed to work as the boy widened his eyes.

"Then if all the bad guys disappear will my sis become good again?"

Lia didn't know how to answer this, she didn't want to make empty promises only for it to stab her back in the end.

"I'm not sure. This will be all up to your sister."

In the end, it was best to tell the truth and not get his hopes up.

"Mhm ok," the boy lowered his head before he looked up at Lia with such a serious and determined look that shocked Lia, "I'll help you."

"You want to?" How could this boy help her? Furthermore, if Eri found out that Lia had used her precious younger brother then Eri was bound to end up wanting to kill Lia, no?

"You are the most wanted person."

"So you knew..."

This boy was still as frightening as Lia thought him to be on their first meeting.

"You won't be able to handle the palace much less sneaking in," and he was quite clever too.

"So you want to help me get in?" although Lia was sceptical she still quickly caught on.

Studying his serious face, Lia was assured that he indeed believed in his words.

"Yes, I can."

"You sure are confident. I see, however, you only help me get in. Once I'm inside you run back here and stay as your sister might have told you, ok?"

"Yes!" the boy nodded eagerly.

Lia couldn't let him be harmed, he was quite adorable too.

"Then tell me, how are you going to help me?"
