"I'm ......" Isabella, who was standing in front of Skyler, showed a struggling look, clenched her fists in her hand, and then relaxed it: "What about you, why are you here?"

"I don't know. Skyler said that he was confused, and then said everything unsuspectingly, "Captain Xavier suddenly asked me to accompany him here after consulting some documents, and I don't know the specifics. ”

"That's right......" Isabella clenched her fists again, and was about to leave, when she heard the sound of the door opening from her father's house in front of her.

It was accompanied by the appearance of a figure, and the leader of the garrison detachment in Reston Village, Xavier, walked out of it.

"Skyler doesn't know anything. Xavier, who saw Isabella, said with a smile on his face: "As for why you asked us why we came, then I will tell you directly, I am here to investigate the cause of the disappearance of your father, Charles Catteret." ”

"Did you find out? Isabella forced a smile, her clenched fists in her hands, as if there was a slight change.

"I found a lot, but I still had a question. That is, was it you who killed your father with the fireball technique, or was it a magician you were familiar with?"

"Obviously, normal people would choose the latter as the answer, after all, you were only nine years old at the time, and it was hard for people to believe that a nine-year-old girl could master second-level fire magic, and I couldn't believe it. ”

"But now, I have to believe it. Xavier said as he looked at the growing fireball in Isabella's hand.

"Wait, what the hell are you talking about, what fireballs, what killing my father, I don't understand?" Skyler next to him looked at the two of them with a confused expression.

However, Xavier and Isabella obviously ignored him directly, Xavier still maintained that confident WeChat, and I don't know why he was not afraid at all, and continued to ask Isabella:

"Are you going to kill us all now, just like you did with your father?"

"I don't! I don't want to......" Isabella said with a pained expression, "You don't know what he's done! I'm doing it right, he's not worthy of being my father at all!"

"No, I know. Xavier used his mental power to control the fireball in Isabella's hand while soothing: "I have read the diary he wrote, and I know what bad things he has done to you, even the scar on your face is left by him." ”

"Not only that, but I also know that he intends to sell you to someone else for all that little money, and I know all the pain you have suffered. Xavier tried to channel her emotions in words and avoid her getting overly excited.

"Do you know all about it......" Isabella's blank eyes gradually left some tears, "Then you should understand why I did this." ”

"But at first, I really didn't mean to kill him, I just wanted to teach him a lesson. The girl gradually began to lose control of her emotions, and told all the secrets that had been suppressed for a long time, "As a result, he actually fell to the ground because of a fireball, I really didn't plan to kill him!"

"And then?" Xavier continued.

"Later...... I ran home. Isabella's tears dripped down the ground, "At that time, I was still afraid that he would suddenly come back and send me, the unfilial person who attacked my father, to be hanged, but it turned out that the news of his disappearance came, and I think you know what happened after that......"

"I wouldn't blame you if you were going to tell the truth. Isabella completely destroyed the fireball in her hand, "It's all retribution, and since I did this kind of thing in the first place, I should be punished." ”

"And I almost killed Jill and Spencer, which is definitely my fault......"

"However, during this time, I really appreciate the care you have taken care of me, and I will always remember it!"

Hearing this, even Skyler knew what was going on, and hurriedly persuaded Xavier: "Captain, Isabella is also in trouble! Please don't blame her!"

Isabella next to her suddenly showed a surprised expression: "Aren't you afraid of me? I killed my father with my own hands." ”

"I don't mind, whatever your past is, I don't mind. Skyler said affectionately.

Seeing this scene, Xavier quickly coughed twice to refocus their attention, he didn't want to eat dog food in this situation!

Immediately, he asked the girl, who had gradually stopped crying, "Isabella, tell me first, why did you run into the forest by yourself in the first place?"

"Because I've heard that your army is going to investigate the strange noises near the forest, and I know that if you do, you'll find traces here. So far, she has nothing to hide.

"So you used the excuse of catching and seeking, and came to the forest to try to cover up the traces of your killing of your father, but you didn't expect to meet the demon spirit?" Xavier directly helped her tell the rest of the story.

"Yes...... Thankfully, I had the help of my brothers, Jill and Spencer, but I couldn't get the time to destroy all the traces inside...... So Mr. Xavier, you must have seen blood on the ground just now. Isabella said in a heavy tone.

"Why didn't you clean it up in the first place?"

"At the beginning...... I was so panicked when the accident happened that I could only subconsciously push my father's body into the basement, and I haven't been here since, and if it weren't for you to investigate the forest, I'm afraid I wouldn't have come. ”

"Oh, so you didn't clean up the blood from the floor. Xavier gave a thoughtful expression, and then suddenly walked up to Isabella's side, shaking the girl's body in fright.

"Are you going to get me back?" said Isabella, her eyes closed, as if she had already recognized her fate.

Skyler, who was next to him, had an embarrassed expression, swaying between his boss and the girl he liked, and even touched his arm a few times on the blade, but reason finally made him withdraw his arm.

However, what Xavier said to the girl was:

"I'm not going to tell you. ”

He smiled at the two of them: "I don't understand, am I like such an unreasonable person?"

"Charles, after all, is just a father who hurt his daughter, but Isabella, you are a little padded jacket in our barracks, is it right to punish you for a dead man?"

"But you don't believe me, and you think I'm going to denounce you, and I feel very sad!"

"Ah!" For a moment, Isabella and Skyler didn't expect the captain to say such a thing, which made the girl bow her head and say embarrassedly: "I'm sorry, I shouldn't doubt the captain of the detachment!"

"You've been in the barracks for so long, you should have learned to trust us...... Please trust your Excellency, are we really going to hang you for doing this?" Xavier shrugged his shoulders in disgust, and then commanded Skyler:

"Anyway, it's over, Skyler, you take Isabella back first. ”

"What about you, captain?" Skyler asked, puzzled.

"I'm going to clean up the traces of this stupid girl, such a big corpse, if I don't find it, someone else will find it. Xavier said with a smile.

Hearing this, the girl next to Skyler quickly showed a touched expression, and then followed the brother who was four years older than him and walked out of the forest.

Seeing that the two in front of him had gone into the distance, Xavier immediately put away his smile, pulled out the steel sword at his waist with his right hand, and said to the surrounding air:

"Come out. ”
