Chapter 2870

“That… That’s actually a wonderful idea…! Good thinking, Von!” replied the smiling Xavia who still found herself occasionally getting surprised by how gentle and caring this giant actually was… Patting her head, Zivon then kissed her on the forehead before replying, “Let’s make the world a better place… One step at a time…” Upon learning of Zivon’s plan, Ian really wasn’t all that surprised. After all, he shared the sentiment. With that, he read Zivon’s message one more time before texting, ‘Way ahead of you, honestly. Don’t worry, we’ll start incognito with that child, and the others will soon follow.’ ‘Glad to hear that,’ replied Zivon. Reading their conversation, Xavia couldn’t help but smile. No matter how dark the world seemed, there were always going to be beacons of hope like these two, huh? With all their good deeds, she could only hope that God would reward them by returning Fabiola to them soon… Speaking of Fabiola, she was soon approached by a stranger who whispered, “Hey, over here. You’ve been kidnapped, right? Follow me and I’ll take you home…” Upon hearing that, Fabiola immediately flinched and began taking a few steps back… The truth was, she had constantly attempted to run away from the island back when she was first captured… and sadly, whenever she met a ‘kind’ person who could help her escape, she was always led back to that devilish old lady and beaten up… There even came a point when the old lady started sending people like this stranger to test her loyalty, so… Not wanting to get beaten up again, Fabiola pursed her lips before running off and yelling, “S-stay away! I want my mommy!” Watching as ‘he’ ran off, the man couldn’t help but frown… and after a while, he contacted Ian and said, “…Are you sure he’s a trafficked child? He doesn’t seem like he’s been kidnapped…” This, of course, left Ian startled. After all, he had evidence that the child had been sold to the island… What’s more, the papers had stated that the child was a girl, yet… Feeling like something was off, Ian replied, “…Try talking to the child again. I’ll contact you if I find anything.” “Roger.” Moving back to Fabiola, she was already back at home, a saddened expression on her face. After all, she really hoped that she could leave this place already… She really missed her family, and she wanted to wear pretty dresses again… It didn’t help that she was already starting to forget what her loved ones looked like after so long… Were they even still looking for her…? Her train of thought was cut short when the old woman suddenly said, “There you are… Come. Eat.” Upon realizing that the old woman was beaming, Fabiola immediately concluded that she was pleased because Fabiola had passed her test. Well, at least she evaded a beating and she’d at least have a proper meal… It was later that night when Fabiola, who was playing outside the house, was greeted by the sight of the same stranger from earlier! “Hush… Listen, I’m on your side, and I just need to know if this is your true home. If it isn’t and you’re just staying this way because you’ve been trained to remain silent, don’t worry, I’ll protect you and this will all be over soon… If you really do belong here, though, then just say the word and I’ll leave forever…” …Huh? The old lady usually wouldn’t send the same person to test her… Could it be that… This really was a good person? Unsure of what to think anymore, she ultimately replied, “…Can you really bring me out of this place?”
