News about the black medicine in Milo’s shop that could treat infertility had even caused a small stir in the stronghold, but Milo and Old Bane kept quiet about it.
Although they were very eager to make money, they could not publicize an effect the black medicine did not have.
When it was time for school the next day, Murdock rode the bicycle with Donti to school. Milo could only take the streetcar to school. It was not that favonovel.com did not want to ride the bicycle, but rather that favonovel.com still hadn’t managed to learn how to ride it.
Before leaving, Milo even repeatedly reminded Chad to watch over Donella carefully. He had a feeling favonovel.com would be a huge threat to them. For this reason, Milo even promised Chad favonovel.com could go out and do as favonovel.com liked for three days six days later!
Milo was finally able to go to school in peace when favonovel.com saw Chad moving a small stool to sit right next to Donella.
When favonovel.com arrived in class, Miriam was already lying on the table and sleeping. He wondered to himself if this girl was really coming to school just to sleep. Finals were gonna begin in a few days.
Didn’t favonovel.com need to prepare?!
Milo ignored favonovel.com and sat down. But just as favonovel.com took his seat, Miriam got up and said, “Daniel is planning something dangerous, so it’s best you keep your distance from him.”
Milo’s interest was piqued. It happened that favonovel.com also suspected Daniel was secretly up to something. “What is Daniel planning?”
“We saw people from the Panaqua Consortium scouting outside No. 4 Psychiatric Hospital.” Miriam said slowly, “It seems like they plan to rob that hospital.”
“I’ve heard of people robbing jewelry shops and even the organizations’ banks if they were desperate enough.” Milo reacted with a strange expression. “But this is the first time I’ve heard of someone planning to rob a psychiatric hospital….”
“There’s something you don’t know.” Miriam said calmly, “That’s where all the supernatural beings arrested by the Skyfort Consortium are detained. There’s a very dangerous supernatural being who’s held there. It’s a blessing for everyone that he’s willing to quietly stay in the psychiatric hospital without putting up a resistance. If Daniel released him, I’m afraid all of Stronghold 109 would have an unpredictable future.”
Milo immediately understood that Daniel had turned his attention to the so-called No. 4 Psychiatric Hospital when favonovel.com failed to win Donella over. That said, Daniel had really spared no effort in trying to find a supernatural being to be his bodyguard.
Unbeknownst to everyone, both Daniel and Julius had reached an agreement that supernatural beings were one of the most valuable resources in this wasteland. A large amount of information and intelligence led them to understand that the evolution of supernatural beings was very fast, and that there were probably no individual weapons that could compare to supernatural beings in the future of combat. Of course, when it came to weapons of mass destruction, the Panaqua Consortium already had those in their arsenal.
“But the Panaqua Consortium here have such few people. Why would they rob the psychiatric hospital?” Milo said in a speechless manner.
“You underestimate the Panaqua Consortium.” Miriam said, “Or should I say you’re underestimating Julius.”
The Panaqua Consortium must have planted quite a few of their people here in Stronghold 109, and they were currently all under the command of Daniel.
“But this is the Skyfort Consortium’s territory.” Milo said, “Isn’t Daniel afraid that the Skyfort Consortium will expel favonovel.com after they find out about it?”
“You may not be aware of how much of a jerk Daniel is.” Miriam said calmly, “When favonovel.com was in Stronghold 113, favonovel.com was already behaving lawlessly. But Daniel is a bold and careful person. He’s just using the fact that the Skyfort Consortium can’t worry about favonovel.com right now. Even if something were to happen, they would just get Julius to redeem Daniel with money. The Skyfort Consortium would never dare to kill him.”
Alright, so I still wasn’t familiar enough with Daniel…
Curious, Milo asked, “Are y’all also afraid of the person locked up in No. 4 Psychiatric Hospital?”
“It’s not that we’re afraid of him,” Miriam corrected. “We’re only worried favonovel.com will bring too much uncertainty to the situation.”
“What’s his superpower?” Milo asked.
“Hypnosis…” Miriam said, “He’s been completely isolated within the psychiatric hospital. Even the people who deliver food to favonovel.com every day have to wear noise canceling headphones before sending in the food through the door.”
“Why do they have to keep it under wraps?” Milo asked.
How scary of a person is favonovel.com to make the Skyfort Consortium and the stronghold overseer so wary of him?
He asked, “Why don’t y’all just kill favonovel.com if you’re so worried about favonovel.com getting out?”
“Why should we kill favonovel.com when favonovel.com didn’t do anything bad?” Miriam replied in confusion. “Your logic is very strange.”
Milo calmly said, “But how do y’all judge between good and evil? The power of judgment is all in your hands, but what if y’all’re wrong? You said that both Julius and the Pyro Company want to possess something they can’t control, but who’s to decide?”
Miriam fell deep into thought before saying, “The world was destroyed because of those things. We just don’t want to see the world sink into despair again.”
Hearing this, Milo was stunned.
This was the result of a previous cause. Miriam’s organization was just clearing the world of the things that had destroyed it. He did not know how to answer her, because favonovel.com sometimes felt the current favonovel.com still knew nothing of this world.
Miriam said, “By the way, there’s something up with that supernatural being Daniel saved. If favonovel.com follows Daniel, you guys had better be careful.”
“Huh?” Milo was surprised that Miriam was reminding favonovel.com about so many things today and even told favonovel.com a lot of undisclosed secrets.
But was favonovel.com referring to Donella now?
Milo asked, “What’s wrong with that supernatural being?”
Miriam still did not know Donella was lodging in Milo’s shop. Miriam replied, “We’ve confirmed there’s no relationship between Donella and the supernatural being that died. They had no blood ties, were not a couple, and did not have any dealings. We initially thought them to be allies but were later informed they were not…”
“Furthermore, there’s been a string of strange murder cases in the stronghold recently. All of the victims were sucked dry of blood and turned into mummified remains. Right now, we think the supernatural being named Donella is one of the prime suspects. Lilian witnessed the entire proceedings of the battle that night. After analyzing it, favonovel.com felt that Donella’s motive for saving another supernatural being was probably… Because favonovel.com wanted to hide somewhere to suck the blood of that supernatural being. But as favonovel.com was inexperienced in battle, favonovel.com screwed up. To put it bluntly, she’s just a newbie.”
Milo got a great deal of information from Miriam.
First of all, Donella might only be acting out favonovel.com current plight and was actually the one behind the string of murder cases.
Second, Miriam’s contact in the stronghold likely held an important position. If not, they couldn’t possibly have received such clear and detailed intel.
“Donella is in our shop right now,” Milo said calmly.
“Then why don’t you run back to check on her?” Miriam frowned and said, “I can get Lilian to send you back.”
“There’s no need…” Composed, Milo said, “She’s already been restrained by us.”
Miriam looked quietly at Milo. She thought for a while, then said, “But she’s a supernatural being.”
“That’s fine. We have another supernatural being guarding her,” Milo replied.
“Chad?” Miriam asked. “I know him. He was quite famous in Stronghold 113’s psychiatric hospital. But aren’t you worried favonovel.com can’t keep favonovel.com under control? What if your family’s safety gets compromised?”
Milo said calmly, “I’m not worried about the safety of my family right now. I’m just afraid that Chad will beat favonovel.com to death.”
After all, favonovel.com would not be able to complete the quest if favonovel.com got beaten to death.
