Chapter 292: Something’s Not Right
“No… I’m not going with you.”
Eliott Garner turned tail and ran, but how could he possibly outrun these soldiers? He was caught in no time.
“It’s not a matter of whether you follow us or not, but how long you’ll be detained. Take him away.”
At the command, Jaime Rowe immediately took him away. Along the way, the captain of the law enforcement team was also taken away. Severe punishment awaited them.
Thud.
Jeff Reczek threw the law enforcement officer who had yelled the loudest onto the ground. That officer’s face was red, his eyes wide with fear. He could feel that if he said another word, the poor guy would die.
“Next time, don’t be like this.”
“Yes, yes, I won’t dare to do it again.”
The law enforcement officer quickly nodded, fearing that Jeff Reczek might not be satisfied and do what he did again. He never wanted to experience that kind of pain in his life.
“Sir, it’s taken care of.”
After finishing, Jeff Reczek returned to Robin’s side.
“Alright.”
Robin nodded.
Then he noticed that Rosey Chambers had moved a step closer behind him, her big eyes looking at Jeff Reczek, as if she were about to write the word ‘fear’ on her face.
One was a timid rabbit.
The other was a ferocious tiger.
That was probably the situation.
“Step back, this girl’s trembling,” Robin said.
He could feel it.
Rosey Chambers was very scared, her legs shaking.
“Oh.”
Jeff Reczek stepped back a bit with some grievance, then touched his big head. He might look fierce, but he was gentle by nature. Leslie and Fiona both liked him a lot.
“Thank you.”
Then, Rosey Chambers whispered her thanks behind Robin, like a mosquito.
“Speak up, are you hungry?”
But Robin turned around with a fierce face and scolded her harshly.
“Thank you!”
Rosey Chambers was startled and instinctively yelled her thanks.
After that, she took two steps back, somewhat shocked that she could say something so loud.
“Alright, let’s go.”
Robin smiled.
Rosey Chambers was a rare, innocent girl, as pure as a blank sheet of paper. She was very naive and knew nothing, which made her very timid. She was probably the kind of girl who lived in a remote countryside for a lifetime.
In the current chaotic situation in South Border, girls like her were the most likely to suffer a fate worse than death.
In fact, Rosey Chambers knew this.
Robin could see it.
But she didn’t hide in her remote countryside; instead, she came to St. Sunday, the largest city in South Border. In the coming days, the focus of the entire South Border would shift, and the danger would increase significantly.
She did all this for her grandmother.
To call her timid didn’t seem quite right.
Anyone could see that she was a good girl.
That’s why Robin was willing to help her. In this chaotic world, he couldn’t help many people. Besides, he needed to investigate the situation in St. Sunday, and having Rosey Chambers with him was just right.
“Oh… okay…”
Rosey Chambers didn’t dare to argue with Robin.
Her cloth bag was still on Robin.
Robin was so fierce; she could only nod repeatedly.
Soon the group left the train station and officially entered St. Sunday, the largest city in South Border. In their sight, there were still tall buildings and heavy traffic.
There were still so many people.
It seemed endless.
“Commander, why don’t these people run?” Jeff Reczek asked, scratching his head.
“First, the South Land army hasn’t reached here yet. Second, they’ve enjoyed too many peaceful days and don’t have a sense of crisis. Third, St. Sunday is an important and economically developed city. Even if South Land takes South Border, they won’t want to damage St. Sunday; otherwise, it would take a lot of time to restore the economy, and it would be counterproductive. Fourth, there are probably people in St. Sunday who are already prepared to surrender to South Land,” Robin explained slowly.
“Surrender? Why would anyone surrender? We’re all Kisia people.”
From behind, Rosey Chambers asked curiously.
“Kisia people? The Harding family, aren’t they Kisia people too? This time, the rebellion has caused countless civilians in South Border to be displaced. Do they show any mercy?”
Robin shook his head.
Rosey Chambers stopped talking. From her perspective, how could Kisia people surrender? However, there was already an example of this in the heritage family, the Harding family, who had been in Kisia for thousands of years. They had directly joined forces with foreign tribes and attacked Kisia, causing countless deaths and injuries.
In this world, there were truly bad people.
“I don’t like traitors. I will uproot the Harding family.”
A fierce light flashed in Robin’s eyes.
If you asked him what he hated the most, it would be treason. Kisia raised you, and in the end, you betrayed them. Unforgivable.
“Yes.”
Jeff Reczek’s face was full of anger as well.
The Harding family was truly despicable. For thousands of years, no such large family had betrayed the country. The Harding family had set a precedent, and it was premeditated.
If it hadn’t been for Robin being in Stillwater and sensing something, calling in the one hundred thousand Ghost Wolf Iron Cavalry, it would have been too late to turn the tide.
The Harding family’s plan was almost seamless.
“Let’s go. Which hospital is your grandmother at?”
Robin asked, tilting his head.
The country girl, with her big watery eyes, said weakly, “You… you’re really going?”
“Mhm.”
Robin, with the cloth bag in hand, said fiercely, “Hurry up, take me there.”
“Oh… oh… okay…”
Rosey Chambers was a bit scared and quickly nodded.
She had just met Robin and knew him for less than an hour. With her personality, she naturally didn’t want Robin to come along. But after Robin scolded her, she had no choice.
She could only take him there.
Moreover, she felt that Robin might… probably… perhaps, not be a bad person.
Jeff Reczek was the bad one, looking so fierce.
As she thought about this, they arrived at St. Sunday’s First Hospital, the best and most expensive hospital in the entire city.
“Your grandmother is staying here?”
Robin frowned.
He glanced at the price list. The cost of staying in the hospital was several thousand per day. Staying here for a while would cost tens or even hundreds of thousands.
Rosey Chambers, a simple country girl, brought only a small amount of money wrapped in a cloth bag, holding it in her hand all the time. It seemed strange that her grandmother would be in such a hospital.
“Uh-huh, my classmate helped me arrange a room here. By the way, my classmate has been taking care of my grandmother all this time. His name is Favian Bird. He’s a good person.”
Rosey Chambers said earnestly.
“A good person? Not necessarily.”
Robin shook his head.
Rosey Chambers was naive and had not discovered anything yet. However, he could sense that something was not right.
