Chapter 255: Chapter 255 Bad Premonition (First Update)

In the hotel room.

Catherine snuggled in her mother’s embrace, Hai Lan tenderly stroked her daughter’s head. Although she too was very afraid, she still tried her best to comfort her.

They were terrified of being handed over, for that would truly spell the end, and those people had obviously shown their true colors.

Fortunately, Allu and the others had been with them the whole time, constantly assuring them that it would be okay.

Just then, the door opened, and Su Ming and the others entered, talking and laughing.

However, once they entered the room and saw Hai Lan and her daughter so scared, they were taken aback.

Su Ming hurriedly began to reassure them.

"It’s okay now, those guys have already been taught a lesson by Teacher Mia and chased away," he said.

"Really?"

Catherine stood up at once, her face showing immense relief.

"Of course it’s true. Our Teacher Mia is super awesome. Not only did those guys run into trouble, but they also got a good beating in return,"

Rhein and the others exclaimed excitedly.

"Thank you so much, thank you!"

Hai Lan’s eyes reddened with gratitude as she thanked them.

Mia leaned against the wall, looking at the mother and daughter with a helpless sigh.

"Sigh, working for nothing again," she said.

At this moment, Allu and the other girls, seeing how pitiful Hai Lan and her daughter were, asked with sighs of compassion,

"How did you end up in such a situation?"

Hearing the inquiry from Allu and the others, tears slid down Hai Lan’s face, her voice choked up as she spoke.

"When the Kingdom fell, my husband, Prince Amis of the Crimson Kingdom, arranged a ship for my daughter and me to escape. But the Imperial Army pursued us relentlessly, sinking our guard ships. In the final moments, under the protection of our guards, my daughter and I managed to escape on a lifeboat and were lucky to get out, soon after we were picked up by a Federation ship and brought back to Black Flame Star."

Su Ming was also stunned upon hearing this, not realizing that they were actually members of the Crimson Royal Family.

Hai Lan slightly composed herself and continued,

"After arriving at Black Flame Star, we settled down in a hotel. Though we have faced misfortune, our country devastated, at least my daughter was saved, which is a stroke of luck amid the misfortune. So, we thought of staying temporarily at Black Flame Star, waiting for news."

"Oh, so it was a hasty escape, no wonder you ended up on the streets,"

Allu and the others also felt deep sympathy for them.

"Actually, it’s not like that. Although we fled from the Crimson Country in a rush, we did bring quite a few valuable things with us. But when we went out for a meal, the package we left in the hotel was stolen. Since then, we mother and daughter have been driven out, and then those people started targeting us, finding various excuses and reasons to force us to sell what we had at a low price. We really have nothing left to sell, but they still won’t let up. At first, we didn’t know why they were treating us like this. Later, they slipped up in their words, and we found out the things were stolen by them..."

Slap!

At that moment, a loud sound suddenly erupted, startling everyone.

Su Ming and the others turned their heads to look at Mia.

They saw Mia had slammed her hand down hard on the table by the wall, angrily saying,

"That’s outrageous! How can the Federation tolerate such vermin? Is there no law, no sense of reason at all!"

Su Ming, seeing Mia so worked up, furrowed his brow slightly, feeling an uneasy premonition.

The next second, Mia walked over and sat down on the edge of the bed, taking Hai Lan’s hand in hers, and said sincerely,

"Sister, rest assured! I will definitely get justice for you. Think carefully, what was the valuable stuff in that lost bag? Think hard, make sure not to miss anything."

"There was a string of Star Crystal Bead necklaces in the bag, part of my dowry when I got married. There was also a high-purity Titanium Stone, and a box of dried Light Rock Grass..."

Hai Lan carefully recounted the items that were lost from the package.

Mia’s eyes lit up upon hearing this, those were all valuable hard assets. She promptly spoke with righteous indignation,

"Sister, don’t worry! I will definitely get these things back for you."

"Never mind, they are very powerful. Don’t take this risk for us,"

Hai Lan shook her head despondently, well aware that those people were not ordinary and did not want to endanger Mia and the others.

"You don’t need to worry about that, I’m sure I can get them back for you, although it might take some effort,"

Mia said meaningfully.

Seeing Mia so confident, Hai Lan quickly said to her,

"Mia, if you could help us retrieve the package, just leave a little bit for my daughter and me, and the rest is all yours."

Mia could barely contain her smile upon hearing Hai Lan’s words, forcing herself to speak through suppressed laughter.

"Sister, don’t worry, leave this matter to me. As for the rest, we’ll talk about it later when we have time. No rush, right?"

"Okay."

Hai Lan quickly nodded in agreement.

Su Ming sighed inwardly upon hearing this; it was just as he had expected.

At this moment, Mia turned to Su Ming and said.

"Su Ming, come with me."

"Okay!"

Su Ming nodded in acknowledgment.

"Teacher, where are you going?"

Rhein and the others asked curiously.

"Why ask so many questions? Just stay put in the hotel."

After speaking to Rhein and the others, Mia took Su Ming and left the hotel.

-----------------------------

Black Flame Base City Center.

Inside the luxurious estate-style villa’s hall.

A man was seen standing on the thick, handwoven carpet. He was dressed in a finely tailored white floral shirt, his golden hair combed neatly, his eyes brimming with arrogance, and his appearance strikingly handsome.

He held a dart and was throwing it interestingly at a target on the shelf.

At that moment, an elderly butler dressed in a tailcoat approached and spoke respectfully.

"Young Master Isawen, Zhan Wei and the others have returned."

"Let them in."

Isawen said with a smile.

"Yes!"

The butler bowed out.

Soon, the butler led in Zhan Wei and the others, who were wearing bandages.

Isawen’s gaze turned cold when he saw them in such a state, but he still asked with a smile.

"Where’s the thing I wanted?"

"Young Master, we didn’t get the item..."

Zhan Wei answered shakily, but before he could finish,

Isawen hurled the dart in his hand.

Crack!

The dart struck Zhan Wei’s left ear, piercing a hole through it.

"Ah!"

Zhan Wei immediately clutched his profusely bleeding ear and screamed in agony.

Allu and the others were frightened and started shaking.

Isawen walked over and sat down on the sofa, his face twisted into a cruel smirk as he spoke.

"Tell me, why didn’t you get it?"

"Young Master, please spare our lives, the mother and daughter were rescued by people from Imperial Court Academy. We called on Captain Dick to intervene, but it turns out the other party was too influential. Captain Dick ended up beating us up instead, and he also had a message for you: he said to stop bothering them."

Zhan Wei spoke in extreme fear.

After hearing Zhan Wei’s words, Isawen displayed a sinister smile.

"Interesting, you all can leave now."

Upon hearing this, Zhan Wei and the others felt as though they had been granted amnesty, and they quickly scrambled out of there.
