Chapter 1322 - 1262: Playing a Recording for Night Owl

Kalare,

Kalare is located in the eastern part of the Orienta, with a triangular land protruding between the Naminua Ocean and the Gulf of Dirir, known as the Kalare Peninsula.

Because it resembles a rhinoceros horn, it is also called the "Horn of Goldland", and Kalare is located at the tip of the horn. "Kalare" means "a place where cow’s milk or sheep’s milk can be obtained."

It is also an ancient land, with the earliest inhabitants being indigenous black Africans. In the early Middle Ages, Arabs immigrated to the coastal areas here, intermarried with the local black Africans, and established many sultanates.

Sienna Johnson’s impression of this place is "pirate" — the globally renowned Kalare pirate.

Just upon stepping onto this land, she didn’t see the pirates, but was greeted by a gunfight. Despite Sienna having "seen some things," she was still frightened because many of the proficient gun-holding soldiers were just kids.

Around ten years old, skinny and small, about the same as domestic seven or eight-year-olds. Domestic kids of that age are still being pampered in their mothers’ arms, but these children here are ready to kill with guns.

"What kind of place is this?"

Sienna dusted off the dirt on her body, still shaken.

A bullet had just hit the wall behind her; had she lifted her head, she might have had it blown off.

"Hell!" Adrian Desmond responded.

"Are you sure Night Owl is in this place?"

"Sure. Hell, right? Someone like Night Owl would definitely come to a place like this."

Adrian later got the news that Night Owl was indeed severely injured, and those who hurt him were over fifty extremely skilled bounty hunters globally.

These hunters were hired by wealthy people to avenge the siblings of the wealthy who were tortured to death by Night Owl. Adrian didn’t know how these hunters found Night Owl on Mist Island, but one bounty hunter named Vitas gathered all the hunters for an assault on Night Owl.

This led to the incident where Amanda saved the severely injured man.

Sienna, dressed all in black, only revealed her eyes, with everything else wrapped in black fabric.

"You look good in this clothing." Adrian looked at the woman wrapped in black fabric and praised.

A woman should dress thoroughly when going out, not let the beauty meant for her husband be seen by others.

"What’s good about it? Those who don’t know might think I’m going to a funeral." Sienna retorted.

"Beautiful women are evil, causing men to commit crimes and to fall into hell. So, beautiful women should wrap themselves thoroughly."

Adrian rolled down her sleeves, covering her fair wrist and delicate hand.

Under the sleeve, Adrian couldn’t help but touch her hand, feeling its smoothness.

"Who said that? What a ridiculous reason!"

"The truth!"

Adrian saw Sienna’s face full of disagreement and said, "Don’t believe it? If you took off that black robe and stood by the road, it’ll take less than a minute before a man abducts you into a car...

Ha... You should know what happens when a beautiful woman is abducted by a man into a car."

"I don’t know."

The climate in Kalare is hot; the Black Widow-like attire absorbs heat and is made of thick material. Sienna felt she was getting heatstroke.

"It’s so hot. Where exactly are you taking me?" Sienna complained.

"First, to a friend’s house."

"How far is it?"

"Half an hour’s journey."

Sienna stopped, looking at the long road ahead. Heat waves steamed in the sun’s rays. Most of the road was unpaved, with dust flying as cars passed.

"Why aren’t we driving?"

"About ten kilometers from here, there’s a skirmish. Walking slowly over, it should be over by the time we arrive. Driving over would be heading right into the guns...

You once said you wanted to see Kalare and your mom. Perfect, I’ll accompany you, giving you a taste of the natural scenery here."

"I’m not in the mood now." Sienna said, her face forlorn.

Adrian laughed, "You’re always living with a heavy heart. If the sky falls, isn’t there a tall one to hold it up?"

"Are you that tall one?"

"Taller than you!"

"..."

"So, rest assured, if the sky falls, it won’t hit you."

"Adrian, I feel like biting you!"

"Go ahead!"

Adrian generously extended his arm to Sienna’s mouth. Sienna looked at his arm, still covered in dirt, and disdainfully brushed it aside.

"Ah... It’s so dirty."

"You’re so troublesome!"

...

Abraham’s mansion, sprawling across thousands of acres.

The luxury nearly rivals the Imperial Palace in Abyanabad. But in such a slum-like place, it suddenly appears so mismatched.

Sabrina Conner chews betel nuts, looking at the soldiers at the door as black as coal, contemplating how she might get in later.

"Marion, are you sure you heard Sixth Master’s orders correctly?"

Adrian’s order is to infiltrate Abraham’s mansion and play a recording for Night Owl, rather than directly killing him.

Night Owl is severely injured and separated from his subordinates; is this not the best time to finish him off? Yet Adrian forbids them to act.

"No mistake!"

Sabrina spat out the betel nut, completely baffled by Adrian’s rationale, "Why doesn’t Sixth Master want us to directly kill Night Owl?"

"No clue."

"Didn’t you ask Sixth Master?"

"No."

"Marion, aren’t you curious, don’t you want to know the reason?"

"Not interested."

Marion focused on the soldiers, waiting for the darkness to fall so they could begin their action with the cover of night.

Sabrina looked at Marion and said, "You’re so young, can’t you be a bit curious?"

Only then did Marion look at the chatty Sabrina, understanding why no one wanted to do tasks with her — it was really... annoying.

"Sixth Master has his reasons. We don’t need too many ideas, just absolute obedience.

Sabrina, you talk too much, shut up!"

"I won’t! You’re mute; I’m not."

...

As night fell, Marion and Sabrina, dressed all in black, slipped into the mansion like shadows. The mansion is vast; Abraham’s children all live with their mother. Amanda’s mother passed away long ago, and Amanda lived alone in a three-story little building.

Night Owl is in the eastmost room on the third floor.

Sabrina and Marion jumped in through the window; Sabrina’s pistol aimed at the man on the bed.

"Hey, brat, wake up, Grandpa’s here to see you."

The man on the bed slowly opened his eyes; it was Night Owl...
