Chapter 259: Assembly

Trunks’ expression was exceedingly off as he dashed in front of the girl like lightning. He reached out a hand to touch the necklace of crystal shards on her neck. He said with a choked up voice, “Annie, it’s definitely you!”

The original Rainbow Sickle mercenary band members all clustered around Trunks and looked on with confused stares. Grant, who’d been tossed into the air by Han Shuo, couldn’t help but say, “Chief, Miss Annie doesn’t look like that!”

“It’s definitely Annie. I gifted her that crystal necklace, and the black mole behind her left ear are all proof that she’s Annie!” Trunks’ voice was thick was tears as he held onto the girl and sobbed with joy.

The mercenaries, who’d been doubtful before, all cheered when they heard that Trunks had confirmed her identity. The used their mallets to bash each other’s chest as they seemed to want to use pain to express how excited and happy they were.

“Annie, Annie, what’s wrong? Why can’t you speak?” Trunks asked frantically when he realized the girl in his grasp wasn’t moving, and was as quiet as a puppet.

“Allow me!” Han Shuo dashed in front of Trunks and placed his right hand on Annie’s back. A beam of black light entered her body and cleaned away the restraints placed on her.

The girl, with her head lolling to the side, suddenly had color suffuse her cheeks again. She seemed to feel Trunks’ shaking as her long eyelashes fluttered, suddenly snapping open into bright eyes as she looked at Trunks, perplexed.

That lasted for only a moment. A shrill scream immediately broke from the girl’s mouth. She struggled fiercely and threw punches and kicks at Trunks. She resisted ferociously and cursed loudly, “Damn it, who are you? If Janet knew, she’d kill you for sure. Let go of me, let go of me!”

However, the girl didn’t seem to have practiced martial techniques. Her punches and kicks didn’t cause Trunks much damage when they landed on him. Trunks let go of the girl in bafflement, “Annie, do you not remember me?”

“Who’s Annie? I’m Betty. You must have the wrong person. You’re crazy!” The girl dodged Trunks and looked huffily at Han Shuo. “You evil robber, what do you want with me here?”

Han Shuo didn’t respond as he looked at Annie with deeply furrowed brows. Linley looked at the deeply emotional and dejected Trunks, “Trunks you’re not recognizing the wrong person, are you?”

Shaking his head firmly, Trunks said, “I gave her that crystal necklace, and the black mole on her ear is still there. This is definitely Annie, but I don’t know why her looks have changed and why she doesn’t remember me.”

“Then there’s nothing wrong about it. These marks mean that it must be her. Memories are sometimes forgotten after enormous stimulus, and some magical potions can be used to change one’s appearance.” Han Shuo said calmly.

“That’s right. That must be the case. Where did you find her?” Trunks immediately agreed when he heard Han Shuo respond.

“You jerks, what do you want to do with me? Hurry up and let me go or Janet will never let you off the hook!” The originally gentle girl became a bit frantic because of her dangerous circumstances, and she kicked up quite a fuss.

“I grabbed her from Janet’s hands. It looks like we’ll understand what’s going on only after we find Janet. I have things to discuss with her anyways.”

“Annie, where did you get this crystal necklace?” Trunks asked in a shaky voice as he walked towards the girl and pointed at the necklace on her neck.

“How would I know? It’s mine. You must have the wrong person. Please, let me go. I can have Janet let you guys go too.” The young girl seemed to feel Trunks’ affection for her and begged pitiably.

“Do you remember your childhood, the matters of you youth?” Trunks eyes glimmered with light as he looked closely at the girl, asking anxiously.

Shaking her head like a rattle-drum, the girl bawled, “I don’t remember, I don’t remember anything and I don’t want to. Let me go!”

By now, even the original Rainbow Sickle mercenary band members could see that she had indeed lost her memory, and was sure that this had to be Annie, who’d been missing for three years.
