Julie looked at the leader, her eyes filled with mockery. "If you are truly brave, take off your mask and face us like a man."The leader smiled faintly, his loud and threatening voice rang out. "Who do you think you are to give me orders? I will make you regret that foolish confidence."Julie did not flinch, still keeping a cold smile on her lips. "If you don't have the courage to take off your mask, then let me tear it off for you."She quickly pulled out two pistols from the holster, her eyes flashing with determination. Without giving the leader time to react, Julie rushed into battle with amazing agility and accuracy.Gunshots rang out in the night, bullets flying through the air, aiming straight at the leader and the surrounding black-shirted men. Julie moves flexibly, dodges her opponent's attacks and counterattacks strongly. She wields her two handguns as if they were extensions of her body, each shot fired with deadly precision.The leader tried to defend, but he did not expec
Julie replied loudly, "Yes, Uncle Leona," and ran quickly to her car. She pulled out a sturdy roll of rope from the cart, then returned and slung the rope down to where Leona was clinging to the riverbank.Mrs. Eleanor and their daughter also approached, seeing the situation, they quickly understood and joined forces to help pull Leona up. Mrs. Eleanor held tightly to the rope, along with Julie and her daughter, they joined forces to pull Leona out of the dark water.Justin, even though he was suffering from a terrible headache, still tried to concentrate on helping. He tried to keep his balance and used his remaining strength to pull Leona to shore. The pain in his head continued to torment him, but he knew that he could not let his loved ones face danger alone.Leona was finally pulled ashore. He breathed a sigh of relief, looked around and saw that everyone was safe. "Thank you, everyone," Leona said, his voice filled with gratitude. "We have escaped danger temporarily, but there is
Justin stood in the middle of the bridge, feeling the confusion flowing through him, his heart full of bewilderment and disorientation. He had just been pulled into a world he was not familiar with, a world where unfamiliar faces seemed strangely familiar. He suddenly realized that everything around him was strange and filled with hidden meanings.When Leona appeared, Justin's heart nearly stopped. The young man with bright eyes and a warm smile recognized him immediately. "Justin!" Leona called his name, his voice full of joy and surprise.Justin was even more astonished when he realized that Leona was the person who had appeared in his dreams for many nights. "Leona? Is it you?" he asked, his voice trembling.Leona stepped closer, gently patting his shoulder, with a gentle smile. "There are things you will understand later, Justin. For now, come with me to the base. Everything will become clear."Justin stood there, hesitant. Leona's words were like a mysterious promise, making him c
Mrs. Eleanor caught his surprised look and smiled as she explained. "Yes, Justin. This car is equipped with a special bulletproof exterior. During times of war and conflict, having a safe vehicle is extremely important."Julie ran up from afar, holding a helmet, her eyes bright with excitement. "Dad, I'll ride the motorcycle ahead and lead the way! You follow behind, okay?""You can ride a motorcycle, Julie?" Justin turned to his daughter, unable to hide his astonishment."Yes, I learned a long time ago. Don't worry, I'll lead the way safely." Julie smiled brightly and nodded firmly."Alright, I trust you." Faced with Julie's determination and confidence, Justin could only smile and nod.Julie put on the helmet, started the motorcycle, and sped ahead. Mrs. Eleanor got into the car, signaling Justin to sit in the passenger seat. "We'll follow Julie."On the road to the base, Justin and Mrs. Eleanor talked about the past, about what had happened, and the unknowns. Mrs. Eleanor shared
Justin smiled, gently patting his daughter's head. This was a kind of affection that a lord like him had never experienced before.As night fell, the entire base was bathed in the warm glow of lights. Everyone gathered together, sharing stories and laughter. Justin felt as if he had found a part of himself that he thought he had lost forever.Mrs. Eleanor sat beside him, her eyes gentle. "Justin, I know there are many things you still need to learn and discover," she said. "But don't worry, we are here to help you. To me, you are family."Justin took a deep breath and nodded firmly. "Thank you. I don't know how many times I've said this, but..." Justin hesitated, unable to finish his sentence."Oh, don't worry about it! You don't need to be formal with me!" Mrs. Eleanor replied warmly.A peaceful day passed by.The next morning, Leona took Justin on a tour around the base. As they walked, Leona reminisced about past memories. Suddenly, Leona stopped by a large ancient tree. "Justin, do
The reactions of those around him hit Justin like a powerful blow, leaving him frozen in place, unable to believe what he had just heard. The worried and pained expressions on everyone's faces only deepened his confusion."What did you say?" Justin stammered, fear evident in his voice. "The King is not my father?"Leona, Monica, Caesar, and Julie's expressions changed immediately. Leona stepped closer to Justin. Monica and Caesar exchanged glances before Caesar approached, gripping Justin's shoulders firmly, his eyes filled with determination."Justin, listen to me carefully," Caesar said, his voice strong and resolute. "The King is not your father. He is your enemy, the one who kidnapped you and brainwashed you."The shock hit Justin like an electric current. He felt his mind spinning and his heart being squeezed. "No... that can't be true," he uttered, his voice nearly breaking. "That can't be true."His head began to throb intensely, and faint memories started to surface, but they w
At that moment, he passed by Mrs. Eleanor's room. The door was not fully closed, only ajar, and from inside, her voice could be heard explaining about poisons and medicine to Joy. Justin paused for a moment, listening to the conversation."Joy, you must remember that each type of poison has different effects and dosages. Incorrect combinations can lead to serious consequences," Mrs. Eleanor said, her voice warm and full of experience. "Medicine is not just about treating illnesses but also understanding the body and what can affect it."Justin had walked past the room, but suddenly he remembered something and turned back. He gently knocked on the door, feeling a bit intrusive. "I'm sorry to interrupt," he said, his voice hesitant.Mrs. Eleanor looked up and smiled. "It's alright, Justin. Come in."Justin stepped into the room, feeling a bit awkward. "I... I heard you talking about medicine. Do you have knowledge in this field?" he asked, his voice still hesitant.Mrs. Eleanor nodded, h
Justin decided that the only way to verify everything was to return to Mozzafiato. He needed to confront the King and confirm the truth about his identity. However, he knew that returning wouldn’t be that simple. He couldn’t just show up without a legitimate reason. To ensure his plan, he needed to stage a kidnapping in which he would be the victim.This thought gave Justin a headache. Who would play the role of the kidnapper? How could everything look as real as possible without putting himself in danger? He returned to his room and paced back and forth, trying to find a solution.His room was dark and quiet, with only the sound of his footsteps echoing. The pictures on the wall were like silent witnesses, observing his confusion and tension. He knew that this plan had to be perfect, with no room for error.Justin felt tense, and his mind began to ache. The headache seemed to tear through each thought, making it even harder to concentrate. To relieve some pressure, he decided to turn
