"Why...why me? Why do I have these cat ears...whether it's because I was treated as an alien by my peers when I was a child, or because it brought me misfortune at this moment..."
The suffocating darkness seemed to drown Linnet at this moment.
"Pfft!"
There was the sound of a sharp weapon, followed by the sound of liquid dripping onto the floor.
Linnet's cat ears moved slightly, and the sounds in the surrounding environment automatically gathered in her mind.
"What's happening outside?"
Linnet didn't dare to open the cabinet door. She just put her ear close to the crack of the door and listened hard to the noise outside.
"Stop hiding. Being timid is useless."
A voice, reflected in the darkness along with the moonlight,
"Come out, the one who wanted to harm you is already dead."
The voice was cold and solemn, yet it had a magical power that could reassure people.
Linnet pushed open the cabinet door and looked at Alechino cautiously.
Alechino came over and rubbed Linnet's ear.
"Nice ears for listening. From now on, learn to use them."
Alechino's kneading technique was not gentle, and his words were not kind, but as cold as the moonlight that night.
Like moonlight, it illuminates a corner of darkness.
...
On the first floor of the mansion, a group of guards and butlers were lying on their backs.
Chao Ke flexed his wrists, which were still not fully satisfied, and looked at Linni who had just sneaked in through the door.
Looking at this extremely shocking scene in front of him, even the meticulous Linnie was stunned for a moment.
"If you want to find your sister, go upstairs."
Chao Ke gave Linnie some directions, then carried the butler, who was beaten into a pig's head, towards the basement of the mansion.
Lin Ni, who was concerned about his sister's safety, didn't have time to think too much. He ran to the second floor in the direction indicated by Chao Ke.
Finally, Linnie, panting, ran into the big man's room.
Inside the room, the dirty man paid the price for his actions, while his sister stood intact behind a woman.
"elder brother!"
The surviving brother and sister hugged each other, but Alechino looked at Linny.
I have been paying attention to this child for a long time. He is thoughtful and values his family. He is indeed a good candidate.
Alechino took a step forward and extended an invitation to the brother and sister.
"Your interests are aligned with ours, and you are welcome at Hearth House. We will never betray you here, and betrayal will never be allowed here."
Linnie, who was invited, quickly analyzed the pros and cons in his mind.
The forces of Zhidong... No wonder they acted so ruthlessly and decisively...
After what happened, it's hard for Linnet and I to survive independently in Fontaine... and the noble family I originally served would give Linnet away as a gift in order to please a big shot. Now Linny just wants to kill him, let alone depend on him.
At the moment, it seems that the only option is Hearth House... and... "Never allow betrayal"...
After just a moment's thought, Linnie agreed to Alechino's invitation, and Linnet said nothing, just stood silently behind her brother.
"Wise choice."
Alechino said softly, quite satisfied with Linnie's performance.
Accompanying the brother and sister, Alechino walked to the first floor and met Chao Ke who had just walked out of the basement.
"How was the harvest?"
"It would be a shame to kill that scum directly. He should be beheaded."
Chao Ke handed a notebook to Alecino and said, "According to this log, there are 26 girls imprisoned in the basement. A dozen of them are children of Fontaine residents, two are orphans from the Gray River District, and the rest are playthings specially cultivated by the bigwigs."
Alechino didn't say anything, but Chao Ke understood the anger and murderous intent in her pupils.
"Take the brother and sister back first. I'll be in charge here."
Chao Ke nodded to show that he understood, and left the scene first with the Linni brothers and sisters.
Although he was not at the scene, Chao Ke roughly understood his sister's subsequent handling procedures.
First, search the mansion for intelligence and large amounts of property, and then contact the Fontaine police to clean up the mess and deal with the dead and the imprisoned children.
The assassination of a big shot like this and the involvement of a vicious incident of imprisoning children will probably be enough to give the Fontaine police a headache for some time.
As it was late at night, Chao Ke did not go to the mansion to disturb the children's rest, but took the brother and sister to his home.
Let's put them up in the guest room for one night first, and then let my sister take them to the mansion to register tomorrow.
In the guest room, after Linnie comforted his slightly uneasy sister to sleep, he looked at the moonlight outside the window, his heart filled with confusion.
I don't know if my choice tonight is the right one. Will this mansion be another hell hole?
After thinking for a long time, Linnie sighed, looked at his sister's sleeping face, and fell into a light sleep.
The next morning.
As soon as Chao Ke's footsteps sounded at the door, the two siblings on the bed were both awakened.
Obviously, both of them were on guard and did not dare to fall into a deep sleep.
Feeling the slight movement coming from inside the house, Chao Ke didn't knock on the door again, "If you wake up, get up. I'll take you to eat something."
Linny and Linnet looked at each other and hurriedly got up from the bed. One of them was responsible for folding the quilt while the other was arranging the sheets.
When the two of them left, the entire guest room was unusually tidy, as if no one had stayed there last night.
Chao Ke glanced at the tidy room and said nothing. Building trust and feelings takes time, and this matter cannot be rushed.
Chapter 29 Linnette: So...hard!
In the early morning, Chao Ke and Alechino walked side by side in front, while Linni and Linnet followed behind.
As the group walked down the street, they had the illusion of being a family of four.
Since it was still early, Chao Ke took the three of them to Jiaziwei Restaurant to have breakfast together.
In the restaurant, Louise came early and was processing the chicken that was marinated last night in the kitchen.
Ashley and Butler have not yet arrived at the store because their residence is far from the restaurant.
After washing his hands, Chao Ke also went into the kitchen to help.
Looking at the prepared ingredients on the table, Chao Ke thought for a moment and decided to be fully responsible for the production of the [Crispy Kun Leg Burger], and leave the entire process of the [Big Golden Finger-Licking Chicken] to Louise.
"Ah? Leave it to me?"
Louise was obviously a little timid. Although Chao Ke had taught her the method in detail yesterday and helped her make several batches of finished products, she was still a little scared to cook it all by herself.
In particular, this batch of dishes will be served to others for tasting.
"Just go for it, I'll check the final product."
Chao Ke's words dispelled Louise's worries. After taking a deep breath, she began to try.
Louise looked at the prepared coating batter and carefully placed the chicken nuggets into it, following the method Chao Ke taught her.
Although her technique was still relatively unfamiliar and her speed was slow, the results looked quite presentable.
The outer powder is evenly coated and the subcutaneous area is properly supplemented.
Just by standing behind Louise and taking a few glances, Chao Ke could tell that there would be no major problems with the quality of the fried chicken.
At least you can get 70 or 80 points, which is the level of [Delicious XXX].
Then he stopped staring and started to concentrate on making the crispy Kun thigh burger.
After more than ten minutes, the aroma coming from the pressure fryer confirmed Chao Ke's idea.
【Delicious golden chicken】
[Rating: 82 points]
[Introduction: The golden skin locks the rich gravy in the poultry, and you will feel satisfied when you bite it. Even if only thin bones are left, the aroma left on your fingertips will linger in your mind. ]
[Food Spirit Power +26 (When helping the host in the kitchen to make a dish that the host has mastered, the host can gain 20% of the Food Spirit Power)]
After Louise finished her work, Chao Ke was almost done with his work.
Use a kitchen knife to gently cut open the plump bread dough, then add the fried chicken thighs and other side dishes, and the crispy chicken thigh burger is ready.
After filling four plates with the finished product, he carried them out of the kitchen to Chao Ke and Louise.
In the restaurant, Ashley and Butler seemed to have just arrived and were chatting with their elder sister.
After seeing the plates in Chao Ke and Louise's hands, he hurriedly stood up, took the plates and placed the food neatly on the table.
"You two came at the right time. Let's have breakfast together." Chao Ke invited the two.
Ashley and Butler quickly waved their hands, indicating that they had already eaten at home.
But Butre's body did not cooperate with her master's lies, and a hungry growl came from her lower abdomen.
Looking at everyone's gazes, Ashley and Butler felt a little embarrassed, especially Butler, who had two red spots on her face.
"Sit down and eat some more, and welcome the new member of the family together."
Alechino used a calm voice to rescue the two of them and diverted the topic to another matter.
Everyone then turned their attention to Linny and Linnet.
After finding himself the focus, Linny behaved naturally. He greeted everyone and introduced himself and his sister. However, Linnett seemed a little uncomfortable. After a few simple responses, she lowered her head and even her tail was slightly curled up, showing her owner's inner uneasiness.
"What a cute little sister, can I touch your ears?" Louise stared at Linnet's cat ears, with hope in her eyes.
"Ah? Yes...yes."
After obtaining Linnet's consent, Louise couldn't wait to reach out and gently knead Linnet's cat ears.
