Trunks' expression was extremely off as he dashed in front of the girl like lightning. He reached out to touch the necklace strung together from broken crystals around her neck and said in a choked voice, "Annie, it must be you!"
Some of the original Rainbow Sickle mercenaries surrounded Trunks with uncertain gazes. Grant, who'd been thrown into the air by Han Shuo, couldn't help but say, "Chief, Miss Annie doesn't look like this!"
"It's Annie. I gave her this crystal necklace, and there's a mole behind her left ear. It proves that she's with Annie!" Trunks' voice was choked with emotion as he hugged the girl and sobbed, crying tears of joy as he shouted.
The mercenaries who'd been a bit doubtful were all overjoyed when they heard that Trunks had confirmed the girl's identity. They all cheered excitedly and hammered each other's chests, seeming to want to express their excitement through the pain.
"Annie, Annie, what's wrong? Why can't you speak?" Trunks cried out in panic when he realized that the girl in his arms wasn't moving at all. She was as silent as a puppet.
"Let me!" Han Shuo's body flashed and he was already in front of Trunks. He reached out with his right hand and pressed it against Annie's back. A beam of dark light shone from his palm into Annie's body, clearing away the power that was restraining the girl.
The lifeless girl's face suddenly flushed red. Her long eyelashes fluttered as she seemed to feel Trunks's movements. She abruptly opened her large, bright eyes and looked at Trunks with a bit of confusion.
After staring blankly for a moment, a sharp cry of surprise suddenly came from the young girl's mouth. The young girl struggled fiercely, using all her hands and feet to greet Trunks' body. She kicked Trunks with all her might while yelling and cursing, "Damn it, who are you? If Janet finds out, he'll kill you. Let go of me, let go of me! "
However, the girl didn't seem to have practiced martial arts. The series of punches and kicks that landed on Trunks' body didn't cause him any harm. However, Trunks had a baffled expression as he released the girl. He blankly stared at the girl and said, "Annie, could it be that you don't remember me?"
"Who's Annie? I'm Betty. You must have mistaken me for someone else. Are you crazy? " The girl dodged from Trunks' side and angrily looked at Han Shuo. She said angrily, "You damned bandit, what are you trying to do by capturing me?"
Han Shuo didn't answer her question. He frowned and stared deeply at Annie. Then he looked at Trunks, who was revealing his true feelings, and asked, "Trunks, you didn't get the wrong person, did you?"
Trunks shook his head with certainty and said, "That crystal necklace was given to her by me. The black mole on her ear is still there, so it must be Annie. But I don't know why her appearance has changed, and why she doesn't remember me?"
"Then there's no problem. As long as these characteristics are there, it's definitely her. Sometimes, memories can be forgotten due to some great stimulation. As long as you use some magic potions, you can change your appearance to something else." Han Shuo calmly said.
"That's right, it must be like this. Where did you find her?" Trunks immediately said with certainty after hearing Han Shuo's explanation.
"You bastards, what do you want? Hurry up and let me go, or else Janet won't let you go." The originally gentle girl became a bit flustered and impatient because of the danger she was in, and she shouted loudly in alarm.
"I caught her from Janet's hands. It looks like I can only understand what's going on after I find Janet. I just happen to want to talk to Janet."
"Annie, where did you get this crystal necklace?" Trunks walked in front of the girl and pointed at the necklace on her neck, asking with a trembling voice.
"How would I know? She's mine anyway. You must have the wrong person. I beg you, let me go. I can make Janet let you go. "The girl seemed to feel Trunks' concern for her and begged pitifully.
"Do you remember what happened when you were young? What happened when you were young?" Trunks' eyes sparkled as he stared fixedly at the girl and asked hastily.
Shaking her head like a rattle drum, the girl yelled, "I don't remember, I don't remember anything, and I don't want to remember. Hurry up and let me go."
By now, it wasn't just Trunks, even the other former members of the Rainbow Sickle mercenary band could see that she had indeed lost her memory. They were certain that the girl was Annie, who had been missing for three years.
"I want to find Janet and ask her. Uncle Grant, take two small teams and come with me." Trunks' expression was resolute as he instructed Grant and then said gently to Annie, "Annie, stay here for now. They'll take good care of you just like before."
"I'm not Annie, let me go!" Annie couldn't help but cry out when she saw that Trunks was about to leave.
"Let's go, we'll take care of things together tonight." Wiping his eyes, Trunks didn't look at the crying Annie and gestured at Han Shuo before walking towards the area where they'd landed with large strides.
Two small teams of twenty people, plus Odysseus' group, as well as Han Shuo and Gilbert, walked towards the flat area where they'd landed. They followed the excavated stone steps and climbed up the cliff.
"Why did you leave in such a hurry last time?" Odysseus asked Han Shuo with a smile as he climbed up. Gordon, Aphrodite, and the others were also chattering away.
"I had no choice. I also had a bunch of things to do last time. Add to that the fact that Ferguson kept his eyes on me, so I had no choice but to leave in a hurry." Han Shuo smiled apologetically at Odysseus and explained.
"Hey, Brian, are you really the master of this mercenary band?" Gordon leaned against Han Shuo and looked left and right. He couldn't help but ask in a low voice when he saw that no one was paying attention to him.
Nodding, Han Shuo said softly, "Yes."
Gordon's face was full of surprise as he chuckled, "You're really amazing to have established such a large mercenary band. We were only willing to join because Trunks said that you're the master behind the scenes of the Soul Destroyer mercenary band."
Patting Gordon's shoulder, Han Shuo nodded with a smile and didn't say much. The friendship that Han Shuo had built with them in the Dark Forest was indeed effective.
"A merchant has unintentionally discovered a silver mine in a mountain valley. It's said that there's even mithril inside. The powers surrounding the Valley of Sunshine have already fought a few battles for the silver mine. I've received accurate information that Laureton of the Cairo mercenary band will also be there tonight. The Cairo mercenary band has occupied all the high ground in Tanai, so it'll be very difficult for the other powers to deal with them.
This time, Laureton has already left the Valley of Sunshine for the mithril. The other hostile powers definitely won't let him go. There'll definitely be a fierce battle at the silver mine tonight. I've come back to bring some people to join in the fun and see if we can fish up some benefits. " Trunks stood on the cliff and explained to Han Shuo from the flat land that was curled up by the clouds.
Startled, Han Shuo said, "Silver mines are already very rare, and mithril is a top quality material for forging weapons and armor. No wonder everyone's eyes are red with greed. It looks like this fierce battle is unavoidable."
"That's right. Even in a place like the Valley of Sunshine, mithril is a priceless item. The value of a silver mine with mithril is simply immeasurable. Therefore, as long as the powers in the Valley of Sunshine have some power, they all want to head to that mountain valley for a share. The merchant who discovered the silver mine was instead killed at the first opportunity. It's a pity that the news still leaked out." Trunks nodded in agreement and said in a low voice.
"Let's go, we'll also go take a look. If there aren't any accidents, Janet will also appear in that mountain valley." Han Shuo thought for a moment and suggested to Trunks.
"Yes, that's what I was thinking as well!" Trunks replied.
Afterwards, the group of thirty or so people silently left the cliff and headed towards their destination according to Trunks' directions.
The mercenaries that Trunks had brought with him were mostly experienced and extraordinary members of the Soul Destroyer mercenary band. Each and every one of them didn't forget to check their equipment on the way, vigilantly paying attention to their surroundings and carefully avoiding other groups of people.
When the sky had completely darkened and the crescent moon had yet to appear, Trunks stopped behind a boulder and pointed to a mountain valley densely covered in creepers. He said to Han Shuo, "That's the one. I think that all the major powers in the Valley of Sunshine have already entered. I'm afraid that there are countless small powers like us who want to make a fortune. It's a bit impossible to hide without being discovered. "
"The others stay here. You, me, and Gilbert will go in first. Follow me. As long as we're careful, no one will discover us." Han Shuo turned around and calmly instructed Trunks.
Trunks had long since witnessed Han Shuo's miraculous abilities. He immediately turned around and instructed Grant and the others, "Uncle Grant, you guys hide here for the time being. We'll go in and scout. I'll send a secret signal to inform you if anything happens."
As well-trained veteran mercenaries, they wouldn't have any objections to their leader's orders once they started moving. Grant nodded and said in a low voice, "Understood."
"Follow me!" Han Shuo called out softly and bent his body level with the shrubs. He took the lead and walked out. The three yin demons filled the surroundings, taking in all the movements.
