Chapter 120: Chapter 115 Infiltration Plan_2
Nowadays, Chris could kill Baron Kesse, known for his defensive power, more easily than Byrne, and if he chose to ambush, he could even achieve a one-hit kill!
A few months later, Chris celebrated his fifteenth birthday.
Meanwhile, the once younger Byrne Fischer was about to step into his thirties.
There were still seven years left until the peace treaty deadline between the Cyart people and the Rhea people.
The war between the Tempest Church and the Sea God Cult continued, but due to the vast number of islands at sea, progress was extremely slow.
As Byrne had not yet felt the fertility limitations set by the gods for the Extraordinary Exponents, Irene kept urging him to find a way to woo back Margaret and have another child.
However, even though Margaret returned each month to visit the children for a few days, she would not stay long in Nasir Town.
She and Byrne behaved very amiably toward each other, with no more arguments, and she no longer inquired into the affairs of the Fischer family or their children, as if the two had found the best mode of coexistence.
——
Byrne and Irene left Fischer Manor in the night and took a carriage driven by Theo to the Daybreak Orphanage in Nasir Town.
In the courtyard of the orphanage, four youths waited somewhat nervously for their arrival.
The most charismatic blond youth was Carlyle Yeager, who had just turned eighteen.
His blond hair was clad in a white tailcoat, his features were delicate, and his smile was cordial and friendly, always giving the impression of basking in the spring breeze.
Yeager hailed from Fein City, and was the oldest orphan Irene had taken in, even a year older than Vanessa, surpassing others in both intelligence and demeanor.
He smiled at the other three and squinted his eyes as he asked,
“We leave tomorrow, are you excited? If I remember correctly, this will be your first time in Fein City, right?”
Among the others, the tall youth with brownish-red eyes and cropped hair, Savoie, immediately became displeased.
Savoie glared at Yeager and gritted his teeth, “What about it being our first time in Fein City?”
“We all come from the Daybreak Orphanage in Nasir Town, unlike you, who’s seen and known much more in Fein City, but if you look down on us, I’m going to beat you up!”
Yeager was not at all intimidated by Savoie’s gritted teeth, and laughed heartily:
“Don’t mind! Actually, these past few days are my first time in Nasir as well. What I mean is, we all have our firsts, and actually, I’ve always been curious about the place where the Fischer family originated.”
“I’m quite envious of you for being able to see Hospital Director Irene and Mr. Byrne often.”
Savoie frowned tightly, quite annoyed by Yeager’s noble-like tone.
He could vaguely sense that Yeager actually looked down on them, and Savoie was well aware that his intuition was always accurate.
Even Mr. Byrne agreed that intuition was his talent.
Feeling very annoyed, Savoie couldn’t help but step forward, with Yeager seeming to be completely unaware.
“No needless violence! Remember the teachings of Hospital Director Irene!”
The only black-haired woman among the four orphans frowned and scolded the two tall males.
She was tiny Inna, only about one and a half meters tall, dressed in a light green gothic outfit with black hair under a large hat, holding a large teddy bear in her arms, with several patches that were hand-stitched by Hospital Director Irene herself.
Inna hoped that in the coming time, she would not disappoint Hospital Director Irene, and also needed to make her big sister Vanessa proud.
The only one who hadn’t made a sound was Mormir, with brownish-grey hair, of average height and looks, and wearing plain black clothes that hardly distinguished him from an ordinary person.
He focused intently on the distance, waiting for the arrival of Hospital Director Irene and Mr. Byrne, clutching a lucky coin in his hand.
Hearing Inna’s persuasion, Savoie silently nodded and stepped back, “Although you’re a bit of a jerk, it was my mistake to speak of hitting you; Hospital Director Irene once said we shouldn’t attack companions, I shouldn’t forget that.”
The ever-smiling Yeager didn’t mind at all, saying, “You might indeed have misunderstood me, but I owe you an apology too, Savoie. I did indeed misspeak earlier, leading you to the wrong conclusion.”
He paused for a moment and continued with a smile,
“By the way, I have something to tell you, tonight we’ll head to the Forest Tavern in town and won’t leave until we’re drunk, Vanessa, Archibald, and even Erik will be there.”
Apart from Yeager, the six of them were all from the Daybreak Orphanage in Nasir Town, and naturally had a good relationship.
