Chapter 4: The Prequel and the Beginning

Fifteen-year-old Alexei sat at the table with his cheeks folded and stared at the jumping fire, and since they had succeeded in mixing up from a smuggler to the head of the "trade fair" between Moscow and Paris through the list left by the dead man, Masha had been getting busier and less time with Alexei.

Martha herself has learned to use a gun and a short knife, and through her innate beauty and acting skills, it seems that Alexei no longer needs to do it.

Only when Martha got home, the boy would wait at the door, and as soon as she entered, he would obediently call out to his sister to help with something, or greet guests......

Martha, on the other hand, will show her true tiredness and relaxation, hug the slender but tall boy, and talk to him about big and small things.

Alexey watched the fire swaying from side to side, and always felt that he had become accustomed to waiting a long time ago.

Whenever he felt that life was beginning to calm down, God could not see him settle down, and on this day, the two siblings, who had no resemblance in appearance, set off from Moscow and returned to Paris.

In the winter and spring, when the streets of Paris had not yet awakened, Martha looked at this familiar city, smiled slightly, and then looked at Alexei, who was silent, "It's back to the beginning." ”

The boy didn't answer, he searched intently in his head about the details of the task, this time it would take his skill to snatch the lot, and he would need to see blood if he wanted to......

Martha looked at him, and always felt that he was now full of anger, and like her, he couldn't turn back into the spirit like the child he used to be.

There is no end to such days.

……

The lavish auction was held inside the theater, and Lois greeted her acquaintances, trying her best to ignore the handsome and sassy Mikhail behind her, who seemed to be glowing, and the dragon's extraordinary hearing while probing the whispers of the crowd.

“…… Sure enough, I'm chasing that one......"

"But how does that make sense...... ...... in a way"

Lois pressed the veil, this Mikhail, is excellent in all aspects, even if it is noisy, it is also a trouble.

She went straight to the person in charge of the auction, and as one of the collaborators, she came to familiarize herself with the "market" in Western Europe.

After all, what she came to work with was not an antique treasure.

Lois talked to the auction owner, comparing the information he had revealed, intentionally or unintentionally, with what he had searched, the Van Zo family, the Lancelot family, and ......

This is, there was a sudden warmth in her chest, she turned her head to look at Mikhail, Mikhail was caught off guard and looked at her, the longing in her eyes was not contained, and she was extremely embarrassed.

But it didn't matter, Lois excluded Mikhail, who wanted to get into trouble, took the opportunity to leave the person in charge, and slowly walked to the backstage where the auction items were stacked, his eyes in the dark, and the color changed.

Just now, it was clearly a fluctuation of the spirit of words...... Or maybe it's the same kind of induction!

After a split second of judgment, Lois took a step forward, reached out and grabbed it, and a scream followed.

Lois glared, looking at the white-haired boy who was caught in the ponytail, the boy's fists and feet were quite flexible, but there was no discipline, and he was not tall, Lois easily coped with.

She grabbed the boy and turned his face violently to the light, Alexei, who was grabbed by the little tail, didn't react, he was just here to steal a special auction item, how could such a simple task end like this?

And the eyes of this woman...... Golden, so scary!

He didn't know that he was also a pair of golden pupils now.

There is only one sentence echoing in Alexei's head, I actually failed? How is this possible? Just this woman gently reached out and grabbed it?

At this time, Lois didn't care about the appearance, pointed to the boy in his hand, and pressed down his struggle with the other hand, "You, you...... Why are you here! ”

Alexei glanced at her and whispered in the smuggler's code language, "I don't know you!" ”

As soon as these words came out, all the excitement of Lois was gone, and a hand knife slashed down, and the boy was in pain, howled, stunned for two seconds, and exploded again.

The person in charge and Mikhail stood aside, and saw that the elegant and beautiful head of the house had used a hand knife strong enough to chop stones three or four times before he stunted the boy.

The elegant head of the house took out a handkerchief, wiped his hands, and then ordered someone to tie up the child, a set of fluent words, and found an excuse for the person in charge to get out and leave in style.

She walked so fast that she even forgot about Mikhail, who was still where she was.

The person in charge understands the sluggishness of youth very well, and the girl he has an unrequited love with has such a rude side, which is enough to shatter his dreams.

But Mikhail did not see the violence of Lois, he saw from the white-haired smoky young man the villages by the Yenisei River in the snowstorm.

——————

When Mikhail finally gathered up and returned to his temporary accommodation, he entered the door just in time to see Lois holding scissors and putting bottles and cans on the table, repairing the appearance of the boy sitting on the chair.

Alexei was still in shock of frustration, and sat honestly, while Lois washed his hair, and the long jagged hair made her torn.

While cutting, she explained the reason to the boy, "I couldn't have imagined that you guy, you have amnesia!" I'm your sister! Dear sister! ”

Mikhail looked at the scissors flying in the girl's hand, as if he had taken the scissors and struck the little boy on the head, and the good life he had stolen from others seemed to have been exhausted.

And Alexei heard his sister's remarks, came back to his senses, looked at himself in the mirror, the shortened hair was just enough for him to tie a short braid, and the hair dye cream with a strange color spread on his head, the usual teenager who seemed to come from an isolated place gradually disappeared, and the face of another young girl squeezed into the mirror, the same smoky eyes, similar delicate facial features, Alexei suddenly felt that since the moment the girl pulled his hair, the usual sense of alienation and loneliness in his heart disappeared strangely.

He reached out and pressed his chest, it was not the same as staying with Martha, and there was a familiar warmth in his chest.

Lois looked at him still not quite understanding, smiled and pinched her brother's face, "It's okay, take your time, I haven't seen you like this yet." ”

After that, the crow Wu Ning saw that the other master had returned, and was about to fly over to try to wake up the master, but Lois waved the comb and drove it away, and Wu Ning had to stop, and when he saw Lois's deep gaze, he stopped his activities.

Mikhail stood for a full ten minutes, watching the little boy's hair dyed dark, and the young and beautiful girl hugging his brother's shoulder and laughing uncontrollably, he turned stiffly and returned to his room.

On his long way back to his room, there seemed to be a pair of indifferent eyes behind him, staring at him so tightly that he couldn't turn around, and when he entered the door, he gasped helplessly and nervously.

It's over. That's where your value ends.
