She turned around abruptly and saw a somewhat haggard middle-aged man standing behind her.
As for when he came in, she didn't sense it at all!
"You …"
Hera's mouth was a little dry, but she held the cute little boy tightly in her arms.
"Ms. Hera. I didn't expect us to meet again so soon. "
Ma Wen magically took out a glass of milk from the void conch and handed it over in a friendly manner. "Is his name Xiao Guai?"
"Children at this age need nourishment."
Xiao Guai was a very cute boy. His hair was the same as his mother's, blond.
In this Stony Mountain where hair colors were mixed, pure blonde hair was rare.
Hera was a little dazed. She didn't take the can of milk, but shielded Xiao Guai behind her.
She said with a guarded expression, "You … what do you want to do?"
Her eyes were filled with astonishment and panic.
If she was alone and her lair was discovered, she could still escape calmly. But it was a little difficult to take a child with her!
This man named Robin actually had such an ability.
She had been in Lion Town for a long time, and the Golden Lion's men had been deceived by her amazing disguise skills when they wanted to catch her.
But she didn't expect to be seen through by a foreigner at a glance.
This caught her completely off guard.
…
"What do I want?"
Ma Wen couldn't help but laugh. "My wallet is still in your hands. What do you think I want?"
A trace of embarrassment flashed across Hera's face. She hurriedly threw Ma Wen's wallet back.
"I didn't take a penny from it," she said. "If that's what you're here for, then you should be satisfied."
Ma Wen caught the wallet, then walked to a table at the side and gently placed the wallet and milk on it.
"I think you need these two things more than I do."
Ma Wen stepped back and looked straight at Hera.
The latter looked hesitant. "No one will show mercy to a thief and a liar."
"Of course — if she's not a single mother struggling to make ends meet."
Ma Wen's eyes were very sincere. "It's not easy to make a living in a place like this. She used to be a noble lady, but now she was reduced to going out at night and using her disguise to steal a little money. This kind of fall was not something an ordinary person could bear. Most people are even willing to die. You didn't because of him, right? "
His gaze fell on the little boy.
Hera took a deep breath. "Listen, Mr. Robin, I'm not interested in your deductive skills. I don't know how you found out about our origins. But since you are such a powerful person, if you still have a little pity in your heart, please let us go. "
"I don't mean to make things difficult for you." Ma Wen said seriously, "I just want to find out where Liu Xing is."
"I can tell that you're actually not afraid of going against the Golden Lions, am I right?"
Hera hesitated for a moment before she finally gritted her teeth.
"Alright!"
"I'll tell you everything about the meteor."
"But you still need to help me with two things."
Ma Wen frowned. "Two things? Isn't that a bit too much? "
Hera's eyes were very calm. "Trust me, no one in the entire Lion Town knows more about the meteor than I do."
…
In the end, Marvin and Hera reached an agreement.
The two of them had a preliminary conversation in her simple and crude room. In the meantime, Hera still trusted Ma Wen and handed the can of milk to Bab.
Bab drank very happily.
He stared at Ma Wen with his big eyes from time to time. When Ma Wen noticed, he continued to drink.
A very shy little boy. Ma Wen liked him very much.
Hera's request was very simple.
That was to protect him.
Her eyes were very sharp. Ma Wen had been able to track her all the way here, so he was definitely an expert among experts.
And it just so happened that tonight, she was going to trade information with an employer.
As for the content of the trade, she didn't disclose it. She only said that the other party was a very scary person.
And this time, Hera would gain a lot of money from this information trade. This money was enough for her to take Bab away from Lion Town, a place where crooks and honest people mixed together.
She would go with him to the [City of Hope] in the center of the Stony Mountains.
That was the city built by the three sisters.
"Actually, I've wanted to go to the City of Hope for a long time. The order there is much better than here, and the people are more friendly. "
"The strength and potential of the three sisters far exceed that of the golden lion."
"It's a pity that I don't have any skills other than disguise and theft. I don't want to steal money from good people. So when this business is done, I will have the money to open a shop in the City of Hope of the three sisters. No matter what business I do, at least I have the ability to raise Bab, right? "
Hera described her plan in a low voice.
Her eyes were glowing with hope.
Although after the brilliance of the disguise faded, her beauty could only be considered average, Ma Wen felt that at this moment, Hera was much more beautiful than the beautiful girl he met in the tavern.
Ma Wen agreed to her request.
He would protect her to complete this transaction, and then after the transaction, send the mother and son to the City of Hope.
After the transaction, Hera promised that she would tell Ma Wen all the secrets of Meteor.
As for the target of the transaction, Ma Wen asked a few questions, but Hera remained silent.
Only when Ma Wen asked about the strength of the other party, Hera hesitated and said:
"Probably, around grade three … Actually, I'm not very sure. She was very fast, and I only saw her attack once."
"Three grade two professionals, all of them from the golden lion, were all killed by her."
"She took five seconds."
Ma Wen nodded slightly, and he had a rough idea in his heart.
As long as it wasn't a legend.
Legends were not cabbages. Ma Wen had encountered enough of them. If he could encounter a few more legends that appeared out of nowhere near the Stony Mountains, Ma Wen would probably doubt whether he had a [Legend Attraction Aura].
The transaction time was 10 pm. The location was near an abandoned barn in the northern part of the Lion Town.
After Hera coaxed Bab, she let him go back to the basement.
Xiao Guai was a very good boy. He followed Hera's instructions very obediently.
After carefully checking the house's concealment, Hera left with Ma Wen.
…
The night in the Stony Mountains was very cold.
The wind blew the branches constantly, and under the waning moon, they looked like layers of ghosts.
Outside the barn, Hera was alone, holding a sheepskin scroll tied with hemp rope in her hand, and looking around cautiously.
And Ma Wen had already activated the stealth mode and hid on the side.
Once there was a problem with the transaction, he could quickly rush to Hera's side to prevent her from getting into trouble.
Ma Wen was also very familiar with this kind of protective mission in his previous life.
In the darkness, a nimble figure appeared.
Ma Wen narrowed his eyes, and in the next second, he was suddenly shocked:
"It's her?"
