In the northern part of the city, in a secluded courtyard, there were two sets of dim lights in a room.
One of the black-robed men looked at Seuss with a grave expression, and said in a hushed voice, "Leader, we didn't receive any information about Snarr and the others, nor were we able to find any leads."
"However, judging from what we found after returning to our stronghold, we've left behind many of our belongings and weapons, so Snarr and the others most likely didn't leave Chaos City of their own accord. They must've encountered some mishap while searching for Alex, and were wiped out," another black-robed man said with a grim expression.
"Could it be that they found Alex?"
One of the black-robed men exclaimed before immediately covering his mouth with a hint of horror in his eyes.
The atmosphere in the room instantly plunged to the freezing point. All of the black-robed men were silent, and they could see the horror in each other's eyes.
Even though they had been targeting Alex for the past few years, the first thing they were struck by was not surprise, but horror instead.
That legendary man had left behind an indelible record, and at the same time, he had left a deep shadow in the hearts of all of his opponents.
"There's no way that it was Alex. He's already crippled, so there's no way that he could wipe out Narson's entire team on his own." Seuss shook his head with certainty. His lips curled into a cold smile as he said, "However, no matter who it is, they must pay the price for killing a small team of our Black Eagles. Blood for blood, a tooth for a tooth."
All of the black-robed men's expressions eased slightly upon hearing that, and confidence returned to their faces.
"Even though there's no way that Alex was the one who killed them, this doesn't necessarily mean that he has nothing to do with this. I'm going to deploy all of the Black Falcons to Chaos City and conduct a thorough search to track down Narson and the others, as well as to capture Alex." Seuss clenched his fists with a cold smile, and said, "I have a feeling that he's in Chaos City right now. It's not in his nature to go deep into the mountains."
"Yes!"
All of the black-robed men replied in unison.
…
After bidding farewell to the city lord and his daughter, Meg took Amy and Anna upstairs. He bribed Barbara with a black pepper steak, and asked her to give Anna a bath. After putting on a pretty pink nightgown, the two of them lay down on a little bed.
"Meow ~"
Ugly Duckling was crying out from under the bed, and it was clinging to the foot of the bed as it poked its head out.
Amy poked her head out from under the bed, and said, "Ugly Duckling, I already have Big Sister Anna. I don't want you anymore. you can sleep on the floor from now on."
"Meow ~" Ugly Duckling's ears immediately drooped, and it withdrew its front paws from the foot of the bed as tears welled up in its eyes.
"Ugly Ugly Duckling." Amy of the bed of her of course, and of course, and to her of the world, of the Black Falcons of the bed of of Chaos of of the world of the world. of the Black of of of of Black black black to the bed of black of of the Black black black black black bed bed to it...
Of Amy of of Amy to Ugly Duckling immediately jumped up in excitement, and looked up at Amy with an expectant expression.
"Seeing as Big Sister Anna has already agreed, then I'll reluctantly agree to let you sleep on the bed, but you have to be good." Amy nodded after a brief moment of contemplation. She lay down on the bed, picked up Ugly Duckling, and placed it between the two of them.
"Meow ~"
Ugly Duckling found a comfortable position between the two of them before closing its eyes and falling asleep.
"Good boy." Anna stroked Ugly Duckling's fur gently with a smile on her face.
"But it's getting fatter and fatter. I feel like this bed is going to collapse under its weight soon." Amy sighed as she pinched Ugly Duckling's face.
"It's even cuter when it's chubby. Look how fun it is to pinch it like this. It's like it's made out of water." Anna pinched Ugly Duckling's face with both hands, and gently pinched it into a round pancake, then a square.
"Wow! I didn't know you could do that! " Amy's eyes lit up, and she was instantly intrigued. She reached out to pinch Ugly Duckling's face to the sides, and it immediately changed its appearance, causing the two little fellows to burst into laughter.
"How pitiful." Meg, who had just come out of the shower, couldn't help but shake his head with a smile upon seeing this scene. Other people's cats were all masters, but here, Ugly Duckling's status in the family was automatically reduced by one no matter who it was.
The two little fellows had a lot of fun, and Amy turned to Meg, and said coquettishly, "Father, can you tell us a bedtime story?"
Anna also turned to Meg upon hearing that, and her eyes lit up with anticipation. In the past, Grandpa would tell her a bedtime story every night to coax her to sleep.
"Alright, then let's tell you a story about Snow White today." Meg sat down on the bed with a stool.
"Is Snow White made of ice cream?" Amy asked, raising her little hand.
"No, Snow White is called Snow White because her skin is as white as snow." Meg shook his head with a smile. His daughter's brain was really wired like no one else's.
"I see. What a pity." Amy nodded regretfully.
Although he didn't know what Amy felt regretful about, Meg still began to tell the story of Snow White in a gentle and low voice.
"In the harsh winter, the snow was like goose feathers dancing in the sky. The queen sat by the window, looking at the white snow, and made a wish …"
Snow White's tragic life began with this beautiful wish. Because of her beauty, she was envied by the new queen, and was kidnapped into the forest. She met the seven dwarves, but still couldn't escape from the queen's clutches. First, she was almost strangled to death, and then she was almost killed by a poisonous comb …
Amy and Anna were completely immersed in Meg's story. They were worried about Snow White's life and death, and their anger toward the vicious queen fluctuated along with the story.
However, when he reached the part where Snow White ate a poisonous apple and died as if she was in a deep sleep, Meg stopped.
As a father, he really couldn't tell them the original story. A necrophiliac prince fell in love with Snow White's corpse, spent money to buy her corpse, and ended up with her in the end.
This was not in line with his worldview.
"Father, what happened after that? Did Snow White really die? "Amy looked at Meg sadly.
Anna's eyes were also filled with tears. This Snow White was as pitiful as she was.
