On a bright, sunny afternoon, Xia Zuo lay leisurely in a rattan chair. Two days had passed since he returned to New York, and over those two days, he had finally finished setting up the defensive magic he intended to put in place. Only then did he have a chance to relax.
Just then, Xia Zuo's expression suddenly changed dramatically. He rose from the rattan chair, his face grim, because he felt the defensive magic he had placed on Skye activate.
As Skye grew older, and since the Orphanage had sufficient funds, she and the other children her age at the Orphanage had all been sent to school. Skye was still at school now, yet the defensive magic on her had activated. That meant she had encountered some kind of danger.
"Matron Mary, I'm heading out."
Xia Zuo called out to Matron Mary, immediately channeled his magical power, and formed a golden ring of light before him. He stepped into it and vanished from the Orphanage.
Inside an abandoned factory, an ordinary car quickly came to a stop. Three men got out, and the last man was holding a little girl. It was none other than Skye.
When school ended that day, Skye had wanted to get back to the Orphanage as quickly as possible. After all, Xia Zuo was back now, and she wanted to spend more time with him. She had never expected to be seized by these people just after leaving the school gates and brought straight here.
"Fuck, who knew a little brat would be this much trouble? I'm going to kill her in a minute."
A man who looked thoroughly disheveled cursed furiously. He was the one who had been injured by the magic Xia Zuo placed on Skye when they grabbed her earlier.
