Chapter 12 - There Is Trouble (1/2)

Five years ago. Country Y.

”I am just going to Country X for one week to take the exams, there is no need for so many of you, fully equipped, to go there with me.” A young lady with long hair said in French to the people around her.

”Even if it is for just an hour, I would not allow you to go there alone.” A short-haired lady said to the young lady before her.

”Aunt Paris, I can protect myself.”

”But you would protect others before you protect yourself.”

”That is because I can protect both others and me.”

”Do you even know your way around Country X?”

”No… But there is still no need for so many people to go with me…”

”It is just a precaution. We received news that the group of people we tried to catch that day fled to Country X, and they colluded with a native gang that grew powerful suddenly, to work their ways around. They seen you before so in case they recognize you, let them follow you.”

”They fled to Country X?”

”Mm. So let them follow you, after all, they are considered your people as well.”

”Isn't there still soldiers and policemen? With them, they wouldn't need to follow me.” The young lady said as she pointed at the people behind her.

”Apparently, before that group of people met us, another group of them were on an island near Country X. The soldiers and policemen went to the island to catch them and they were ambushed. Although they managed to capture some of the criminals, in the end, many of their people suffered severe injuries and some lost their lives. Their forces were heavily damaged, so they might now be able to help you if you met that group of people.”

The young lady's face turned black upon hearing those matters, as she walked out, she said, ”Bring along the beads.”

Country X.

The young lady changed into XX Middle School's uniform and went to XX Middle School to take her Year 1 end of year examinations. Throughout the week, the group of people that followed her to Country X stayed near her.
