Chapter 110 - Chapter 110: Chapter 106 Alice (2/2)

The patrolling guards, upon seeing the “young lady,” all immediately felt a pang of pity, wishing they could find her family right away.

Moreover, everyone thought of the same thing. Since she came from a noble family, there would definitely be a generous reward for helping her find her family.

“Miss, what is your name? Which clan do you belong to, and what is your surname?”

An elderly patrol guard lowered his head and asked Chris kindly.

“I… My name is Alice.”

Chris pretended to be shy, lowering her head and continuing to answer in a voice as close as possible to the one Vanessa had used years before.

“My daddy said I mustn’t tell my surname to strangers no matter what…”

The elderly guard immediately shook his head and said, “No, no, no, Miss Alice, don’t worry, we’re all good people; you can tell us.”

Chris remained silent for a long time, still pretending to be scared and shaking her head, saying nothing.

The guards standing at the entrance of the patrol station looked at each other in dismay, unsure of what to do.

If “she” were just a child from an ordinary family, the guards might have let her be, as there are more than one or two street urchins in Fein City.

They weren’t from Daybreak Orphanage, so how could they possibly manage so many?

But “her” clothes were costly, and if the “young lady” were to leave here and come to harm, when the noble family’s parents came to question them, the trouble would be substantial.

“Wuu…”

Chris cried, with tears falling one by one, occasionally sobbing, all while feeling a growing boiling sensation of spirituality.

Interesting.

He hated boredom and had always enjoyed interesting things, but in actuality, most people were dull, and he had to learn to entertain himself.

The guards invited Chris into the patrol station, some inquiring about her situation kindly, while many others went out to ask various noble clans if they had lost a child.

He watched people bustling about, as though he were brought back to that time long ago.

Back then, at the orphanage, Chris had suddenly pushed a chubby child from behind, causing him to fall flat on the ground.

He knew that the force and angle wouldn’t hurt the other, but it would make the chubby child furious and thereby sufficiently relieve his own boredom.

However, Chris never expected Vanessa to come running out, limping and daring to grab at his clothes.

Vanessa…

That fellow was still as stupid as before, getting angry and sad for people she barely knew and bound by too many ridiculous moral beliefs.

While sitting in the patrol station waiting, Chris thought while stealthily listening to the conversations of the guards around him.

“I heard that the Lorne citizens have already done away with their patrol stations and guards,” one guard said loudly.

“Ah? Then what do they rely on to maintain public order?” asked another guard in surprise.

That guard replied, “It’s still those guards, just with a new name called police. Do you think we the Cyart people, because we copy Lorne in everything, will also be turned into police?”

“What does police mean?”

“It seems to mean ‘order.’ It’s said changing the name was suggested by World Order Church; some of their members demanded this kind of reform.”

Guards or police, Chris thought they would probably be much the same since the people inside had not changed.

Most were hyenas that preyed upon common people, claiming to maintain public order but often oppressing the civilians.

If Nasir would have that something called a police station in the future, maybe someone like Vanessa would need to become a manager to truly maintain public order.

Would Nasir have a police station in the future? Chris thought it very likely.

Because Byrne once told him something when deciding to build a factory. It was a vision and dream for the future.

“Chris, you might not believe it now, but I can foresee the future from books. The population of Nasir will undoubtedly grow more and more, eventually evolving from a town into a thriving city!”

“As long as we can solve the issues with pirates and the Sea God Cult, Nasir’s geographical location and development prospects will become very good, definitely comparable to Fein City!”

“We will have a city, Nasir City. It will be a city built by our own hands, the Fischer family!”

Chris wasn’t well-read and didn’t fully understand some of Byrne’s terminology, but he was completely willing to believe in Byrne’s dreams.

Suddenly, he noticed the various looks the guards gave him, full of concern, worry, greed, impatience.

Chris felt spirituality violently boiling!

At that moment, it had been a full three months since he left Fischer.

When Sheriff Renzo of the Lion clan personally arrived at the patrol station to see the lost girl, the guards were shocked to find that “she” had vanished!

No one knew why the “young lady” could disappear into thin air under the watchful eyes of all.
