I, Valon, am frantically searching for my mother.

"Calm down, sir! Calm down! She's just a human, why are you arguing with her? Besides, sir, think about it, she's still Sophia's mother!"

Vivian keenly noticed the heaving of Golden Dragon's chest beside her and quickly hugged Wayne's leg tightly to prevent him from acting impulsively.

Wayne took a deep breath and felt that Vivian's words made sense; Sophia's mother's extraordinary abilities were not necessarily entirely due to personal reasons.

A single grain of dust falling from the sky can become a mountain for an ordinary person.

What if the former Mrs. Anne was also a lovely Sofia?

Is it only under the immense pressure of life that they finally became so extraordinary?

Wayne forced himself to calm down again.

"Mrs. Anne, I've come here today only to tell you one thing."

"About the child you sold ten years ago... Sophia."

"She's still alive."

Anne's face was expressionless.

Wayne continued in that calm tone:

"She went through a lot of bad things. But she was strong and kind. She always... missed her mother very much, and she believed that her mother loved her and had her reasons."

"If you're willing, even just out of a little pity... I want her back with you. I'll leave her some money, enough for you to live on for a while."

"You don't need to do anything for her, just give her a place to sleep and talk to her occasionally."

This was the only solution Wayne could think of.

Sofia is still a child, and staying with her mother is obviously the best option.

Even with her mother in this state, Wayne wasn't sure whether to continue sending Sophia back...

After hearing this, Mrs. Anne's face showed undisguised disgust, and she rolled her eyes.

"Hey you, this is such a big golden dragon, why don't you give it something nice? Why do you always give it useless stuff?"

"That kind of thing...it's fine with me. If you want it, you can keep it yourself, right? I don't want that kind of money-losing thing!"

From afar came the old woman's heart-wrenching screams:

"Choose a child, Anne! Don't forget to choose a child!"

Anne then reluctantly drew out her voice.

"Okay, Mom~"

"Sigh, whatever, you can send the child over if you want, although they're probably still eating a lot at this age."

"But after a few years, when they grow up and come work with me, we can sell some kids on the side and make the money back."

……

We really need to hire a dragon spirit for our family.

Wayne couldn't help but marvel once again at how something was about this place, Hull.

Fortunately, Wayne himself is a dragon, and he managed to hold his own against Sophia's mother, who had defied the heavens several times.

Then, he looked expressionlessly at Vivian.

"Damn it, I can't take it anymore, Vivian, detain her!"

Vivian was excited at Wayne's sudden order.

"Alright, sir! You should have done this a long time ago!"

The girl proudly puffed out her not-so-ample chest and boasted:

"Master Jinlong, you can rest assured that this is a small matter. Don't let my appearance fool you; I've been consistently working hard for the past ten years..."

This one is an old miner.

No wonder he vaguely heard strange noises coming from Vivian's room next door last night.

"Wait, you mean you...?"

"hold head high!"

Vivian blinked, then nodded matter-of-factly and naturally, before adding:

"Sir, didn't you tell me yesterday that we must make a good plan, and that every strategy is foolproof, it's all about simulation..."

"What the hell are you talking about?"

The more Wayne looked at Vivian, the more she resembled a god, and he couldn't help but fly into a rage, saying:

"Damn it! Vivian, are you even human?! You're all alone, aren't you? Why would you do something like this?"

"And also, didn't you just touch me?!"

Vivian shrank back at the shout, but her face didn't show much fear; instead, she blinked innocently.

She explained in a tone that suggested it was perfectly normal:

"Oh dear, Master Jinlong, well, there's nothing we can do about it..."

"Just think about it, you suddenly appeared yesterday and killed so many people, blood flowed like a river... I... I was under so much pressure! I was scared and panicked, I tossed and turned on the floor all night, unable to sleep, I felt like I was about to explode!"

"No, how can I sleep if I don't do that? There needs to be a way to release stress, right?"

As Vivian spoke, she unconsciously clenched her knuckles.

"As for that..."

After settling in, under Wayne's fierce gaze, Vivi cautiously revealed her two chubby, fair little hands.

Then she twirled her hand in front of Wayne twice, turning it over and over, and then, in a tone that seemed to seek praise, she whispered:

"Sir, I've always washed my hands thoroughly!"

"Use hot water! And I even use a special cleaning trick, it's very clean. If you don't believe me, smell it, it definitely has no smell!"

As Vivian spoke, she actually wanted to put her hand near Wayne's nostrils.

"I'll smell your grandpa!"

Wayne couldn't take it anymore, so he raised his hind leg and kicked Vivian in the butt!

"Ouch!"

Vivian was caught off guard and was kicked so hard that she stumbled right next to Mrs. Anne.

"Fine! I guess I'll have to do this kind of thing!"

Wayne opened his mouth, spitting out a few sparks, and immediately gave the order:

"Vivian, grab her! And while you're at it, cover her mouth! Don't let her scream!"

"no problem!"

Vivian, who had just been kicked, instantly perked up. A vicious grin spread across her face as she swiftly approached the still-stunned Mrs. Anne from behind.

"Huh?!"

Mrs. Anne was still a little confused by what seemed to be the actions of the two Tangs and hadn't reacted yet.

By the time she realized the danger and tried to call for help, it was already too late.

Vivian used a rather professional technique, covering Annie's mouth with one hand while trying to move the other hand downwards.

Wayne glared at her, and Vivian realized that her main task wasn't to detain people, so she chuckled awkwardly and then covered Annie's mouth even more tightly.

"Well done, Vivian!"

Wayne nodded in satisfaction; finally, it seemed somewhat reliable.

So now, only the last step remains.

Wayne slowly lowered his massive dragon head, his magma-like vertical pupils coldly staring at Mrs. Anne, whose eyes were filled with terror.

Then, he looked up at Vivian, who was regretting that she couldn't do more.

He said in a calm tone:

"Vivian."

"Now."

"Give me--"

Wien paused, making sure every word was clear and unambiguous.

"Pull her pants down."
