Chapter 1579 – The Excited Kids II
*****The kids, on the other hand…After the eldest girl had shushed them, every excited whisper immediately dropped to the softest murmur, so much that anyone standing only a few steps away would barely hear a thing.It was as though they were discussing the greatest treasure in the world.Yet despite lowering their voices, their excitement hadn't diminished in the slightest.If anything, it burned even brighter, bubbling out through sparkling eyes, trembling shoulders, and smiles so wide they threatened to split their faces.“With a bag that big,” one little boy whispered with absolute confidence, his imagination completely abandoning mathematics, “I can own one thousand, million, trillion Labubus!”His tiny pupils shone as though he had already become the richest child on Earth.The moment the absurd number left his mouth, however, several of the older children froze.They slowly turned toward him, then another boy folded his arms, puffed out his chest like an accomplished mathemat
Chapter 1578 – The Emotional
*****None of the children moved or blinked at this moment.In fact, none of them seemed to have heard the younger boy's words.Every pair of eyes remained glued to the colorful Labubu dolls inside the bag, their expressions blank with disbelief, as though they had forgotten where they were, who they were, and even how to think.Time seemed to stand still, and the abandoned warehouse, which had been noisy only moments earlier, fell into complete silence once more.That silence lingered for what felt like an eternity before..."So... so many..." one of the girls finally whispered.Her trembling voice sounded like someone who had wandered through an endless desert before suddenly discovering an entire lake waiting just ahead.The words finally snapped a few of the children back to reality.Instantly, several blinked repeatedly, while others rubbed their eyes so hard their eyelids turned red.Then, all at once..."So many!" a boy who didn’t appear older than eleven suddenly screamed, nea
Chapter 1577 – The Pitiful Scene in The Abandoned Warehouse II
*****The children simply blinked after hearing Little Lola’s words.For several seconds, nobody reacted, almost as though their brains had refused to process those words.Then..."Di... did you just say..." a frail twelve-year-old boy asked in a trembling voice, "...Labubu?"Every pair of eyes immediately locked onto Little Lola.Without hesitation, she nodded enthusiastically."Mm-hmm!"The certainty in her innocent face struck them like lightning.Almost immediately, several mouths slowly fell open.One child rubbed his ears, another slapped his own cheek, and one particularly dramatic teenager even pinched herself before muttering under his breath, "Nope... still awake."The warehouse became strangely quiet once again.Finally..."Hum..." the youngest boy, who appeared to be around ten years old, scratched his messy hair with genuine confusion. "What's a Labubu?"Everyone immediately looked toward him.He blinked innocently. "Is it delicious?" he continued seriously. "Can it be ea
Chapter 1576 – The Pitiful Scene in The Abandoned Warehouse
*****The building had obviously once served as a massive storage warehouse before years of abandonment claimed it.Its high ceiling was riddled with countless cracks, while several steel support beams had rusted almost beyond recognition.Rainwater stains streaked the cracked walls, while sections of the ceiling had partially collapsed long ago, leaving jagged openings through which the cold night air drifted freely.Yet none of those things captured Grace's attention for more than a heartbeat.Because... there were children, about twelve of them.Some looked no older than ten, while the others appeared fifteen to sixteen.They had clearly been asleep moments earlier.Most were still rubbing their sleepy eyes while sitting halfway upright.Others remained wrapped in threadbare clothing as they stared toward Little Lola with sleepy smiles.But their condition...Grace couldn’t help but suddenly feel her vision blur.Children their age should have been sleeping inside warm bedrooms.The
Chapter 1575 – The Abandoned Warehouse
*****Grace's face gradually lost its color even before she realized it.Her fingers tightened so forcefully around the phone that her knuckles turned white, and a surge of fury exploded inside her chest.‘They hunted homeless people, imprisoned them, and then demanded money... from people who barely had enough to eat?’The sheer cruelty of it made her feel physically ill.Beside her, Xavier remained outwardly composed.Only the tightening of his jaw betrayed anything at all.His fists slowly clenched.‘Lock homeless people in cells... then extort the little money they somehow managed to earn...’The more he thought about it, the colder his gaze became.He had witnessed countless forms of corruption over the years.Yet hearing such injustice described so innocently by a little girl who had lived through it stirred a murderous rage deep within him.For one brief instant, the surrounding air seemed to grow colder.Then Xavier quietly shut his eyes again and forced out a breath.When he
Chapter 1574 – Grace and Xavier’s Disbelief
*****Unlike the lively marketplace they had just left, not a single soul could be seen here.What made the place even more unsettling was its condition.Years of neglect were written into every inch of the landscape.Bushes had spread wildly along both sides of the narrow pathway, reclaiming land that people had once walked across every day.The road itself was riddled with countless potholes of different sizes, many of which were filled with stagnant rainwater.The buildings were in even worse condition.Most leaned slightly to one side, their faded walls peeling away in large patches while broken windows gaped like empty eye sockets.Several roofs had partially collapsed, and scattered debris lay near rusted doorways.The lighting did little to improve the atmosphere.Only a handful of aging solar street lamps remained standing, many of them crooked from years of neglect.Their weak, flickering glow barely managed to push back the growing darkness, making the entire district appear

Very good plot and story and the pacing is also quite good except for elongated methapor words and praises that seems no relevance on the scene or plot being played, making the novel quite dull...
