Chapter 575: Chapter 393: Saving the Collapsing Building (Part 3)_3

"...Faye, you’ve been reckless again, how many gates did you go through today?" Faye’s biological mother immediately checked her daughter’s injuries upon seeing her.

"Eleven gates, but I did take medicine. Besides, I couldn’t get in touch with you all this time, and I was a bit anxious," Faye had already chosen her excuse.

"Silly girl," Faye’s father approached and patted her head, "Eleven gates, if I had known you’d come, I definitely wouldn’t have let Malin lead the army."

"Lead the army!" Faye’s eyes widened.

"I’m sorry, Faye," Manli’s mother continued her smile, but this time the guilt was plainly visible on her face.

Faye glanced at her younger brother lying in the bed, "Who is the assailant."

Joe couldn’t dare meet the gaze of his sister.

This filled Faye with pain, as she, the family’s only daughter, turned her head to look at her father, covering her mouth to cough twice.

Everyone saw the blood at the corner of Faye’s mouth.

Manli turned and slapped her third son; this time, the angry mother finally showed a hint of compassion.

"Manli, stop hitting Joe," Anna spoke up, pleading for the youngest of the family.

"It’s your brother’s debts of dalliance outside, his irresponsibility in his deeds, you can’t blame others," Goethe, the father, seemed a bit embarrassed.

Faye took a deep breath, the girl, holding back her furious emotions, looked at her father and ultimately smiled, "As long as he’s okay." After saying this, Princess Mowish let her smile fade, turned around and headed for the door, "Lena, arrange a carriage for me. I want to go home and rest well."

As Faye stepped out the door, she heard her brother pleading, "Sister, forgive me."

"Forgive you? Alright, while you lead the army, just have your fiancée accompany me for a day," Faye said, then slammed the door behind her.

......

Maya liked to nap in the afternoon, because cat-people always do, but less than thirty minutes into her sleep, Maya opened her eyes.

Because Jessica had pushed open the bedroom door.

Maya frowned slightly in dissatisfaction—this shouldn’t be the case; her sisters all knew of Maya’s temperament, and anyone who disturbed her nap would be held in Maya’s grudge for a whole week.

For a cat-person, this was already a very long-lasting hatred, second only to harming oneself or one’s friends.

"Malin is leading the army."

Maya instantly became alert.

"Where is Sister Faye?"

"The news just came in; Faye has gone home. She passed through eleven teleportation gates and couldn’t go on any further. Passing through any more gates would cause even greater and irreversible harm to her body. Therefore, we’ve decided to send you to Mr. Malin’s side."

"Why me?" Although she asked this question, Maya was quickly putting on her Shaman robes.

"Faye is the leader of the sisters, and you’ve followed Mr. Malin the longest, so we sisters think you’re the most suitable," Jessica said as she watched Maya change into her clothes and came over to embrace her: "My sister, I leave everything in your hands."

"I will accompany... Mr. Malin," Maya nodded firmly.

"Please do." Jessica released her arms and pointed towards the corridor, "Go, Clovis will open the teleportation portal for you and Lulu. She has already confirmed the coordinates with Mr. Malin. They can initiate long-range teleportation, something Faye can’t do. She can only pass through three portals for any teleportation over 100 kilometers."

"Why is Lulu also going?" Maya asked curiously.

"She’s a Night Watcher; it doesn’t concern us. That’s why she can go, but we can’t. Go now, Maya."

"I’m off." Maya said and then strode towards the staircase leading to the hall.

At the staircase, she met Matilda, who had already put on her Paladin armor: "To be honest, I find it hard to accept giving this opportunity to you."

"... Then why are you letting me go, Matilda?" Maya asked, a hint of confusion in her voice.

"Besides Faye, you are the most qualified," Matilda said with a smile, then she patted Maya on the back: "Go, don’t keep Mr. Malin waiting."

After that, Matilda embraced Maya and stepped aside from the stairs.

Maya nodded and took the small suitcase Matilda handed her, descending the stairs quickly.

There, Lillim smiled and helped Maya tie up her naturally curly long hair: "Take care on your journey, my sister."

"I will bring Mr. Malin back safely," Maya said, touching cheeks with Lillim, then she faced Nova and Rewo.

"I thought you two would go, especially you, Nova," Maya said to Nova.

"I really wanted to, but Faye has helped me, and I can’t betray her," said Nova, patting little Rewo’s head: "My cousin hardly has the ability to protect herself; she’d only burden Mr. Malin."

"...I’ll help Mr. Malin," Maya stated, and after shaking hands with Nova, she walked towards the already-open teleportation portal. "We entrust Mr. Malin to you," said Clovis to Maya.

"Leave it to me," Maya nodded, then looked at Lulu, who had changed into her grey Night Watcher combat suit: "Why are you going?"

"Because it’s Mr. Malin’s first time leading an army. I want to see the performance of Mr. Malin, who the Church has such expectations for. The Church will support me, and don’t worry, I’m not a burden," said Lulu.

"Alright, let’s go," Maya took the Firearm that Clovis threw to her, and stepped through the teleportation portal.

Lulu picked up her Revolver and small suitcase, said farewell to Clovis, and also entered the teleportation portal.

"I hope they’ll be safe," sighed Jessica, standing on the second floor, her werewolf girl’s face full of concern.

And Matilda frowned: "What exactly is happening with the Mowish family? Faye hasn’t said anything, but I can tell she’s very angry. Could there be some kind of incident?"

"Then I would be the biggest winner," Nova laughed.
