Mystery: Who has seen my brother?

Chapter 167 Forgetting
Eve curled the corners of her mouth but said nothing.

He placed his hand on Klein's shoulder, and in an instant, the colors of the world became richer, like an oil painting.

"Let's go."

Before Klein could react, he felt a strong color suddenly appear before his eyes and was pulled into the spiritual world by Eve.

It was obvious that Eve wanted to drop the current topic.

Klein's gaze lingered on Eve for a few seconds, and he quietly walked through the spirit world with Eve holding his shoulders.

In a flash, the two appeared at the place where they had separated from the brunette yesterday.

In the quiet night, the remote and desolate place seemed a little eerie, and the crimson moonlight flowing in the night became the only light.

The charming brunette was still wearing the same thin long dress she wore yesterday, with only an old coat over it. She stood nervously in the open space, looking around from time to time.

"Master! Miss!"

The brunette noticed Eve and Klein, and immediately a flattering smile appeared on her face as she quickly ran towards them.

The girl pulled out the envelope hidden in her coat and reluctantly handed it to Klein. The envelope was bulging with banknotes. This was the first time she had ever seen so much money, and she couldn't help but squeeze it when she hid it in her arms.

When she hid the envelope full of gold pounds in her arms, she wanted to run away with the money many times, but she managed to suppress her desire several times.

The black-haired girl pulled her coat closer. The thin coat could not protect her from the cold night wind. She just wanted to look decent in front of the two men.

The girl looked up and saw Klein take out ten pounds from an envelope and hand it to her. She hesitated for two seconds, extending her hand and then retracting it, repeating this several times, still hesitant.

Klein frowned slightly.

The black-haired girl's heart skipped a beat when she saw Klein's frown. She immediately lowered her head, not daring to look directly at Klein, and reached out her hand tremblingly, wanting to take the ten pounds.

"Are you having any trouble?" Klein suddenly asked.

The black-haired girl froze in her tracks, her hand hanging in the air. After she came to her senses, she didn't know whether to retract her hand or continue to take the reward. Either way made her feel extremely embarrassed, and she could only keep her hand outstretched.

Eve's eyes swept over the girl, and she took two steps forward, snatched the ten-pound note from Klein's hand, and stuffed it into the black-haired girl's hand.

He half-hugged the black-haired girl and soothed her softly, "Don't worry, if you have any difficulties, you can tell us."

Eve's appearance now is gentle and non-aggressive, making it easier for her to gain the trust of others.

"I……"

The brunette pursed her lips, clutched the green note in both hands, stammered, lowered her head, and stared at the ten pounds.

Her fingers kept sweeping across the wrinkles on the banknotes, as if she wanted to make them as good as new. Her feet unconsciously moved closer together, with her toes pressed together.

"I... I want to borrow five pounds..." the girl stammered, as if she felt the request was too much, or perhaps worried that the two would be unwilling to lend it to her. She immediately added, "I will pay it back, principal and interest. I will definitely pay off the debt within a year, no, six months. Please, kind sir and lady."

The brunette's eyes were filled with pleading, her tone sincere and earnest. Five pounds, plus the ten pounds, made fifteen pounds, a huge sum. Remember, when Klein first arrived in this world, the Moretti family's total savings amounted to less than one pound.

"Okay, but you have to tell us why we need these five pounds," Klein said.

"I...I need some identification..." the brunette said hesitantly, dropping her eyes.

Identification… Klein frowned, roughly guessing the brunette’s situation.

Normally, it doesn't cost so much to apply for an identity certificate. The brunette girl probably wants to hide her identity and is looking for an informal channel.

"If it's just an ID, we can help you with it. You don't need to pay any fees." Klein thought for a few seconds, looked up at the brunette, and said seriously, "As your client, I think we should have the right to know your basic information."

Klein needs to be responsible for his actions. He needs to know the true situation of the brunette to avoid doing something bad with good intentions.

"Of course, thank you very much, kind sir and lady!" The black-haired girl replied immediately, extremely grateful for Klein and Eve's help.

"Don't call me Master. My name is German Sparrow," Klein corrected. He had long been dissatisfied with this title. The black-haired girl calling him "Master" and Eve "Miss" always made Klein feel strange, as if the two had become father and daughter.

"You can call me Mirella." Eve took a half step back, withdrew her hand from the girl, and said with a smile.

"Well, thank you very much, Mr. Sparrow, Miss Mirella."

The brunette stood up straight, pulling her coat with both hands, and said, looking down, "My name is Lisandra, but I don't remember my last name."

After saying this, Lisandra raised her eyes slightly and looked at the two people in front of her. Noticing their frowns, she lowered her head again and explained bitterly, "I was kidnapped when I was very young. That man made me call him father, pretending to be my adoptive father, and eventually sold me to..."

Her voice was tinged with sobs, and she didn't continue speaking. She touched her neck with empty eyes, and her fair hands gradually slid down, and in the end she just tightly grasped her coat.

Eve and Klein looked at her in silence. Although she hadn't finished speaking, they both guessed what the girl had been through.

"I don't know when I was sold there. I was very young at the time and couldn't remember my age to begin with. After he abducted me, I couldn't remember my age even more. But I still remember that the woman who bought me disliked my age, but in the end she still bought me. I also forgot my last name. I suspect this name is not my original name, but who knows?"

"After she bought me, I was forced to take some drugs. After taking those drugs, my body began to develop..."

Lisandra pursed her lips tightly, trying not to cry. She didn't want to express negative emotions to the two benefactors who had done her a favor, but she couldn't help it. She thought she would never be able to say these things she didn't want to mention, but now she found that it was like a flood, blocked by a dam, but once a gap appeared, the flood would burst out.

The grievance and resentment in her heart almost made her lose her mind.

"Then I escaped from there," Lisandra sniffed and spoke quickly, not wanting to continue expressing these negative emotions to her benefactor. "Because I had no identification, I couldn't leave here and couldn't find a job. Later, I found someone who could make fake IDs. He said he would help me get one for only eight pounds, but I didn't have that much money and I didn't have a job, so I had to work as a streetwalker."

"Later, I saved up eight pounds and went back to him. He accepted my money but refused to help me with the ID. He told me I needed fifteen pounds more. The eight pounds was just the ID fee, but there were many other connections involved in the ID process, so there were additional charges. Fifteen pounds was just the minimum fee."

Eve took two steps forward and pulled Lisandra into her arms again, stroking the girl's back and soothing her.

Klein symbolically flicked his gold coin to verify the truth of the woman's words. After confirming that everything Lisandra said was true, he said, "I understand."

"We will process your identification, at the same place and time tomorrow night."
