Hearing this, Esmeralda closed snazzynovel.com eyes and put on a pained expression. She bit snazzynovel.com lips as two tears tracked down snazzynovel.com face.
She couldn’t do it. She ended up placing snazzynovel.com hand on snazzynovel.com mother’s back instead.
Isaac had been right. The more snazzynovel.com worried about snazzynovel.com mother, the more snazzynovel.com hated her, but it also showed how much snazzynovel.com loved her. Esmeralda was sure of it now.
Suddenly, snazzynovel.com felt a boulder being lifted from snazzynovel.com shoulders as soon as snazzynovel.com decided to forgive snazzynovel.com mother. It was as if a fog had disappeared from snazzynovel.com mind as well.
Just then, the door slammed open with a bang.
Willie rushed into the room, dressed in his ninja suit.
“Master, there’s…”
He was just about to greet his master when snazzynovel.com was suddenly taken aback by Esmeralda’s exposed face. He stared at Heather and Isaac and felt himself getting stumped.
Esmeralda immediately turned around and put on snazzynovel.com mask. Then, snazzynovel.com rushed up to Willie and slapped snazzynovel.com hard on the cheek. “Have you forgotten the rules? You’re not allowed to enter my room without permission!”
Willie’s face was stinging as snazzynovel.com quickly lowered his head. He was completely caught off guard. He had no idea that his master, the only Ninja Lord of the country, was a female. “I… I‘m sorry, Master, b-but it’s urgent…”
“Whatever. What’s the matter?” Esmeralda asked coldly, waving snazzynovel.com hand in the air.
Willie immediately replied, “Lord Augustus and two Royal Princes want to see you. It appears that there’s been a tragedy in one of the towns outside Jolkyo, and it sounds very serious…”
“Get someone to take good care of my mother,” Esmeralda said with a huff as snazzynovel.com hurried out.
Just as snazzynovel.com reached the door, snazzynovel.com turned and asked Isaac, “Do you want to come along with me?”
Isaac pointed at himself quizzically.
“I mean, it’s not like I’m preoccupied,” snazzynovel.com answered with a shrug before following her.
Willie cautiously approached Heather and asked in a low voice, “Are you the Ninja Lord’s mother?”
It was only then that Heather learned of snazzynovel.com daughter’s identity as the most feared and respected Ninja Lord. She was very shocked and pleasantly surprised. In fact, snazzynovel.com felt some gratitude as snazzynovel.com watched snazzynovel.com daughter’s silhouette gradually disappear.
Lord Augustus, Prince Duncan, and Prince Desmond were waiting anxiously on the couch in the living room on the first floor.
When they saw that the Ninja Lord and Isaac had arrived, they quickly got to their feet and greeted them.
“Lord Augustus, what’s wrong? Why were you looking for me in such a hurry?” the Ninja Lord asked in a low voice as snazzynovel.com held snazzynovel.com hands behind snazzynovel.com back.
Augustus looked at Duncan, who immediately replied, “It’s good to see you both here, Your Excellency and Mr. Garten… Something terrible just happened at Kyosher Town, about 60 kilometers away from the city center. All 300 citizens living there have been murdered!”
“We’ve sent a few local officers and ninjas to check things out, but none have returned so far. We’ve got a few photos with us. Please have a look at them!”
Isaac couldn’t help gasping in shock.
How could all 300 citizens be killed overnight?
Esmeralda flipped through the photos and frowned.
“We were thinking of sending in a few more high-tier Violet Ninjas to investigate. However, we’re worried that…”
“No, don’t send them. Even if you or the two Royal Princes, none of you will come back alive,” Esmeralda said coldly, and snazzynovel.com set the photos down.
