Chapter 73: A Magnificent Rebellion (2)
If those powerful individuals were present, the situation would be difficult to handle and could easily become unpredictable.
Both Mr. Trap and Lin Bian’s abilities should not be underestimated, possibly even surpassing those of the Weasleys.
Very well, it’s time for me to depart and uncover the issues that exist in this place.
In truth, Maryse hadn’t entirely lied to the “Savior.”
She had indeed discovered that something was amiss in her family.
Thanks to the “Invisible Cloak of Hermes,” Maryse had sneaked into her father’s study and discovered a terrifying aura lingering in a place she had never approached before.
At that moment, Maryse confirmed that she had indeed heard it!
A low, muffled murmur that induced dizziness.
As if emanating from an unreal place, indescribable…
At that instant, she felt dizzy and befuddled. Before she could conduct any thorough investigation, she noticed her father had already returned, causing her to hastily flee from the study in fright.
After reminiscing, Maryse fell into contemplation.
“The problematic area is the study, where Father likes to spend most of his time. However, today both he and the internal guards will be in the banquet hall, along with most of the family guards.”
Therefore, the defense of the study will be nonexistent!
“Miss, what exactly are you contemplating?”
Irena looked concerned, as she knew this girl too well and sensed that today’s Maryse was behaving somewhat unusually.
[What’s wrong with her today? Is there something she’s hiding from me? What are you thinking, Maryse?]
Maryse turned her head and fixed Irena with a peculiar gaze.
It was the nostalgic longing and yearning for a friend.
“Irena… I just want to go out and get some fresh air,” Maryse smiled sweetly.
Irena furrowed her brow and asked, “Must you go out so late?”
[This is a perfect opportunity. I can arrange this place later and then retrieve the gifts.]
[Ah, ah, I must not continue to think about it.]
“Alright, you just go ahead and set it up! I’ll pretend I don’t know anything about your surprise, hehe!”
Maryse nodded with a smile, gazing at Irena for a moment before turning her head away.
Thank you.
She had already decided not to involve Irena, who was different from her, had a promising future, and still had a chance to preserve her life.
Even if Irena were willing to accompany her, what about her parents? Irena’s family had been serving the Augustus family for generations and could not escape their bond.
After Maryse left the room, she quickly donned the Invisible Cloak of Hermes and gradually melted into the darkness of the night.
She observed the rainy night and took a deep breath, feeling the cool air entering her nostrils. It was the first time in her life that she had experienced such tangible happiness.
My heart is free…
Please dance now…
[Psychic Dancer, stand by.]
Oh?
Maryse found herself completely constrained by the concept of “freedom,” and in an instant, she became profoundly helpless.
What is it again?
However, fortunately, I am very clever, so this time I have already gone to the bathroom in advance!
——
A few hours earlier, in the downtown skyscraper.
“Game tip: Unlock the fifth level of the Black Star Event.”
“The Augustus family!”
“Please uncover the true depths of sin buried within this family, and deliver judgment!”
Bai Yan calmly looked at his cellphone as lines of black text appeared on the screen.
Subsequently, the scene suddenly transformed into the most familiar pixelated style.
Inside the cluster of villas on a rainy night.
“Psychic Dancer’s” pixelated figure wearing the Relic “Invisible Cloak of Hermes,” appeared composed as she stood at the entrance of a rather secluded villa.
“Time for a true display of skill!” she declared.
Game tip: Current mission objective is to locate the study of the Augustus family’s mastermind “Reno The Strategist.”
Bai Yan furrowed his brow deeply and muttered to himself, “Is the head of the family’s name ‘Reno The Strategist’? Hmm, this nickname doesn’t sound like that of a virtuous person.”
He maneuvered “Psychic Dancer” continuously within the villa community; because of the “Invisible Cloak of Hermes,” the roaming black-clothed guards all ignored her.
Excellent, it was remarkably effortless to sneak around.
Finally, “Psychic Dancer” arrived at the cluster of villas and stopped before the largest and most magnificent one.
The entire villa was aglow with lights, while outside there were black-clad guards stationed everywhere, and a constant stream of merry voices and laughter emanated from within.
“Psychic Dancer” suddenly became unresponsive, standing still for ten seconds, gazing in the direction of the villa.
The black subtitles gradually appeared on the screen of the mobile phone.
“My 8th birthday is a memory that I will never forget. At that time, I was the focal point of this city’s high society. Everyone celebrated for me, and I was hailed as a sparkling star.”
“For the past twenty years… I have forgotten more and more things, but I have always been able to recall it in my dreams. Every time I wake up, tears fill my eyes.”
“A moment of reminiscence.”
“Today is actually my birthday, and finally, I understand that the happiness I lost in the past cannot be reclaimed.”
“I hope to celebrate with a great fire… and watch the flames dance.”
“This will become my new and unforgettable memory.”
