The next day, when the setting sun sprinkled a red glow over the mountains, Anne returned to the villa.

Jessica had been instructed beforehand that all the harpies behaved in the same way, at least, on the surface. After asking about herself after leaving, Anne made her way to John's room.

"Patriarch, I still have something to report to you." When Jessica saw that something was wrong, she quickly stopped her.

Pushing open the door without looking back, Anne said indifferently: "Wait a minute, I'll take a look at his injuries first." The sooner he heals, the sooner he can get out. Hey, aren't you dead yet..."

Anne's words interrupted. Turning her head slowly, she said coldly, "What about people? ”

The heart was not good, Jessica hurriedly said: "Patriarch, you listen to me, in fact, Mr. John..."

"What about people?"

Her body trembled involuntarily, and Jessica didn't dare to hesitate, so she said according to the pre-thought statement: "Mr. John's injury has been able to walk on the ground, so he left by himself the day before and the day before yesterday. ”

"What about people?"

"Patriarch, damn it, in fact, Mr. John is leaving because I asked him to leave. Because I don't think it's going to be good for anyone if he stays here. I have made a claim about this matter, and I deserve death, and I ask you to punish it. Jessica buried her head deeply.

Anne said indifferently: "If you lie, he will never leave by himself because of your objection." ”

Suddenly, a strong uneasiness swept through her heart, not from Anne seeing through her lies, but from what she had just said. Jessica said tentatively, "Patriarch, why are you so sure? ”

"Because I just know." Anne said arrogantly.

"It's over, it's over, is the patriarch really..."For a moment, Jessica felt that all thoughts were lost.

But the desire to protect Anne overshadows everything, and Jessica is determined not to tell Anne about Lever taking John. As soon as she gritted her teeth, she was about to continue to argue.

At this moment, Anne suddenly said, "Who has been here?" ”

Shocked, although I don't know how Anne would know, Jessica has instinctively denied: "No one." ”

"Hmph, do you think I'm blind? The glass in the house has all been changed, and the grass outside has been turned over, and if you tell me that this is your idle time to pass the time, then I ask you, why are the fingers of those people missing? With a sneer, Anne said sarcastically.

The patriarch, who never thought that the patriarch who was so silent would be so sharp, Jessica was stunned for a while. Suddenly, a sharp arrow had touched her forehead.

"I don't want anyone to challenge the authority of the patriarch. Now I ask one last time, who has been here? Where did he go? With her bow and arrow, Anne pulled the bowstring to the fullest, and said word by word.

Her expression was cold, without a hint of banter. In fact, as long as you know a little about Anne, you should know that she can definitely handle it with this kind of expression.

With a deep sigh in her heart, Jessica slowly closed her eyes: "Patriarch, kill me." ”

"You—" Anne was furious, "do you think I don't dare? ”

The fingers clasping the bowstring loosened slightly, and Anne was about to shoot Jessica. At this time, a person suddenly jumped out and knelt beside Jessica: "Patriarch, please let Elder Jessica go." "But it's Naobi.

"Say." Anne didn't move.

Glancing at Jessica in a panic, Naobi quickly told him about Lever's arrival, wounding everyone, and taking John away. In the end, she said, "Patriarch, Elder Jessica is completely concerned about your safety, and is by no means intended to deceive, please let her go." ”

"What?" Anne was startled and put away her sniper bow: "Explain the situation more carefully." ”

Although she escaped with her life, what she tried to hide was told by Naobi, and Jessica did not have the slightest joy on her face. Looking at Anne, who was listening carefully to Neobi's account of the situation, she felt a lot of emotion for a while.

"O great Poseidon, can't I stop it after all?"

At this time, Anne had heard Naobi finish all the situation, and after thinking for a moment without saying a word, she turned to Jessica and stretched out her hand: "Bring it." ”

Knowing that there was no way to hide it anymore, Jessica had no choice but to hand over the gargoyle to Anne.

Taken into Anne's palm, the gargoyle's eyes lit up, and the hands that had been clasping his chest slowly lifted and pointed to the north. Obviously, this is telling Anne Lever where to go.

As soon as her fingers tightened, Anne pinched the statue and put it in her arms, turned her head and walked out.

"Patriarch, where are you going?" Jessica hurried forward.

Without looking back, Anne said coldly, "I swore that I would never let anyone hurt my people again. Whoever that guy named Levle is, I'll give him the price he deserves. ”

"No, patriarch, you can't go. That guy isn't human, and no, he's not non-human either. You don't know how terrible that guy is, the chill that feels like life will be sucked away when facing him. It's too dangerous for you to go to her. Jessica said eagerly.

"Let go of me." Anne's voice was eerily calm.

Jessica didn't let go: "Patriarch, although we have been insulted, we are all alive, isn't this the most important thing?" Please don't risk it for us, if something happens to you, we, our Harpy Clan, will really be wiped out..."

Taking a slow breath, Anne said slowly in the deepest tone: "Let go, don't forget who is the patriarch." The next time anyone dares to disobey me, I'll kill her. ”

Stunned, Jessica couldn't help but let go of her hand. Anne commanded, "After I leave, you immediately take the whole clan to Vault 2, understand?" ”

Before everyone could answer, she had already walked out, and at this moment, Jessica suddenly said in a frenzy: "Patriarch, you are for John, you are going to save him, right?" Why, why for a human being..."

"His life is mine, and no one can take it from me."

Hearing this, Jessica stared at Anne's back and didn't say anything more. After taking two steps, Anne stopped again: "By the way, I have found some more people scattered around the world, and we will be reunited soon." ”

With that, she left the villa without looking back and disappeared into the sunset.

Long after Anne left, Jessica was still on her knees and did not get up. Walking over quietly, Naobi helped her up and whispered, "Elder Jessica, I'm sorry..."

"Why?" Jessica shook her head in frustration, no longer having the strength to blame: "Don't you know that this will kill the patriarch?" ”

Naobi lowered his head and said in a mosquito-like voice, "But if I don't say it, the patriarch will really kill you." And even if we hide it from her now, the patriarch will always know one day, and with the patriarch's temper, I'm afraid she won't be happy in the future, so I thought, it's better to..."

"Simple Naobi, how can their business be so simple—" Jessica closed her eyes in pain.

Looking at Naobi, whose face was flushed, Jessica's lips trembled, as if she wanted to scold her, but in the end she just sighed: "You, you... Alas, forget it, it's useless to say anything now. ”

"Elder Jessica, are we going to support the Patriarch?" A harpy asked.

Jessica shook her head, "No, it's useless for us to go. Everyone quickly packed up and went to Vault No. 2 as instructed by the patriarch. ”

"Patriarch, I can't stop you anymore. Now I just hope that this John is really worthy of you to do this to him..."

That night, there was only one empty villa left on the hillside, and no one was to be seen...
