Chapter 387 - Saved His Little Sister (2/2)

”Megan, Master Shou does work for Lord Knightley. What's worse… I just received reporters that a few mercenaries' are on their way here as well since reports of the Young Princess in the black market spread. Someone is offering a huge amount of money for her.”

”What?! Who?!”

”I don't know, I've tried to check on this but not even the higher-ups have any information about the mystery person. The higher-ups stated that we should not get involved. Since the higher-ups said; Master Shou belongs to an old clan in Japan which has a good connection with ours. If ever they are to attack us, it just means we have done something against him and the higher-ups would not even take action.”

”What? So you're telling me we're to die here for helping her?”

”I don't know… Maybe Master Shou received information about our relationship with the girl in the past. I mean, they might be here to retrieve her back. We better give her back to them…”

”No! We aren't doing that! She wishes to regain her memory and I'll help her.”

”Big Sis! Are you crazy? Even the higher-ups does not wish to get involved. We're only trash in front of Master Shou's eyes. We can't go against him… I mean, you yourself said Akita is with him.”

”Still… We need to help her find the Professor.”

Jo was about to go mentally crazy seeing Megan was not listening to any words he was saying. ”Have you really lost your mind? The Professor? God knows where he is now… I mean, he could be dead or so.”

Megan was in deep thought and was unable to hear any of the words Jo spoke of, she then a thought flashed into her mind.  ”No, you'll help her.”

”Wait, what?!” Jo was baffled to what Megan just suggested.

”I'll handle Akita and the girl. Take Elizabeth with you… Find Scott.”

”Scott? The b*stard? Big Sis, you want me to take her to Scott? He is worse than the Professor.”

”No, last time I heard, Scott was in the west. Go take her there… Go look for K at the capital. Ask him to prepare some identification for Elizabeth. Once you have those prepared, go and take her to the west. Make sure you find Scott…”

”Big Sis, have you gone mad. Scott is our clan's mortal enemy. I mean, his every clan mortal enemy for he listens to no one just like the girl. Both of them are like…” Jo couldn't finish his words when he realizes that he'll be traveling with the girl who has a killer instinct of a predator. ”Big Sis, think about this carefully. You want me to take her to Scott. You do know who she is right? I mean, just being the Young Princess is already a death sentence for me. But now, you want me to take the Little Lady of the past to meet Scott when the two of them don't get along in the past as well.”

”That's why I'm asking you to take her to Scott. She has no memory of the past. Once you'll meet Scott, Scott will know where to find the Professor. Then, you'll be free…”

”Free? How sure are you that I'll be still alive when I get to meet Scott?”

”Don't worry, Scott won't do anything to you.”

Jo sighs desperately, ”How sure are you about that?”

”Because you have her.”

”So?”

”Do you know why Scott and her do not get along?”

”Why?”

”From what I heard, the Professor saved the Little Lady and became her guardian. Scott, who was under the care of the Professor as well during that time…”

”And so?”

”Do you really think Scott will hurt you when you saved his little sister?”

”What? Sister? Isn't she the Knightley's daughter.”

”She is, but Scott has always considered her as a sister. Scott was one of the reasons as to why she was able to do all those cruel things. Who would go against Scott? Going against him means having your whole clan dead by morning.”

”So, you're saying he'll spare me as long as I'll take care of her. But wait, where are you going?” Jo suddenly realized the Megan has not mentioned anything about herself at all.

”As I said, I'll handle Akita and her girls.” Megan forces a courageous smile on her face despite she knows what's about to come.

”Big Sis, must you really do this?”

”She needs to know the truth. Also, I hope she'll make me a fruit tart too.”

Jo said nothing and saw how upsetting this plan is. Will either one of them be able to live in the end.
