"Brother, it's not that we're heartless, it's just curfew. We've already sent people to the chief's mansion, and I'll let you through as soon as we get a reply!" the guard said confidently to Norn.

Norn sat in the carriage, clutching his slightly aching chest. He didn't mind, but the evening wind was blowing hard, and he figured many people would catch a cold if they stayed here too long.

"What are you doing?"

Berto's voice came, causing the guards to turn their heads.

"Captain Berto, what brings you here?"

"What are you doing? Why won't you let them through? Are you just going to leave these children here to freeze?"

Berto's gaze swept over the thinly dressed demi-human girls, and seeing them trembling, anger welled up inside him.

"Father!"

The cat-girl sitting next to Norn suddenly cried out, got out of the car, and ran towards Berto.

"Mira!" Berto hugged his daughter tightly, rubbing her messy hair back and forth with his right hand, his eyes gradually blurring with tears.

"Father, it was this older brother who saved us, and he even brought the bad guys with him!" Mira said, pointing at Norn.

Berto looked in the direction of its finger, and his warm eyes suddenly narrowed.

The person sitting in the carriage was none other than the human boy whom he had been chasing with all his might, and whom he had threatened to make drink the Soul-Stealing Water, turning him into a walking medicine pot!

"I told you, I was truly framed," Norn said with a smile to Berto, who was disheveled in the wind.

Seeing Berto's expression as if his mind had gone blank, Norn continued, "Don't just stand there. The most important thing right now is to give these children a place to stay. We'll send them home tomorrow. There are still quite a few sick children on the bus."

"Oh, okay! Come with me, I'll take you to the chief's mansion."

Bertol pulled a guard aside and said, "You know where I live, right? Please take my daughter home."

With Berto's help, Norn and his group received the green light all the way and successfully entered the magnificent chieftain's mansion.

Most of the girls following the carriage came from small villages outside the city. They were immediately attracted by the bustling decorations around them when they first entered the city.

Just then, a group of soldiers came towards them, led by a burly gray bear-man.

It wore a dark blue silk robe, the hem of which swayed in the night wind, making it look both majestic and imposing.

"Chief!"

Berto knelt down on one knee, his head facing the ground.

The girls following the carriage immediately followed suit, calling out "Chief" in a few scattered calls.

"Get up, get up! I was just about to look for you." The chief turned and called to the soldiers, "Quickly take the children inside!"

After the soldiers took the children away, Norn said, "Chief, the kidnappers who trafficked the girls are also in the carriage. Please take them with you."

The chief turned his head to the soldiers, and several soldiers jumped onto the carriage. Following Norn's instructions, they lifted the partition, revealing four people who had already fainted inside.

Perhaps because the space was too narrow and the air was not circulating, coupled with the bumpy ride, a lot of vomit had accumulated under them.

The soldiers carried them out and left via another route.

At the chief’s residence, the chief had his servants prepare hot soup and bread for the girls and make beds for them to rest in two empty rooms.

Norn and Berto sat in the chalk hall, brightly lit by fluorite chandeliers. A servant brought them a bottle of healing potion, which Norn drank, and the knife wound on his chest quickly healed.

Berto sat somewhat awkwardly opposite Norn. Once the servant left, it stood up and bowed deeply to Norn.

"I am terribly sorry, Lord Norn! I am ashamed of my previous disrespect towards you, and I also express my respect for your glorious deeds of enduring humiliation to rescue the missing child!"

"Don't worry about it. I did this to make up for my past mistakes. If I hadn't stopped you, you would have brought them to justice long ago."

Norn waved his hand, picked up the hot tea in front of him, and took a sip.

"But I'd like to ask, where is my carriage? Are all the things on it stolen?"

"Um—the carriage has already been put up for sale at the carriage shop, and the horse has been bought, but the bag of gold coins and blood crystals inside is still there."

"That's good."

Norn nodded in relief. After all, he had risked his life to get those blood crystals, and each one was so expensive that he couldn't bear to lose them.

At that moment, Norn felt his head darken considerably, and then a pair of large hands landed on his shoulders.

Looking up, he saw the grizzly bear chief looking down at him with a smile.

"Chief!" Berto stood up in response.

"Don't be nervous, sit down." After saying that, the chief released his hand and sat down diagonally opposite Norn.

"Hello, my name is Musolo, and I am the chieftain of this city of Miguang. Thank you for saving those children; I will definitely spread the word about you!"

"No need for that, Chief. I'm just trying to make amends for my past mistakes," Norn said, waving his hand in refusal.

"No, this absolutely needs to be publicized. Since this incident came to light, news of humans trafficking demi-humans has spread throughout the city, and even chiefs in other territories have heard about it. This has given those who hate humans and advocate war a perfect excuse. If it is not stopped in time, Miguang City will probably become unsettled again."

"I see. Then please, Chief, continue with your normal propaganda and don't over-mythologize me."

Norn knew all too well that fame brings trouble, and at this moment he just wanted to quickly settle into a life of luxury and idleness.

"That's natural."

No sooner had Musolo finished speaking than Berto, who was sitting to the side, couldn't sit still any longer. He suddenly stood up and bowed to Musolo, saying:

"Chief, in this matter, due to my eagerness for quick success, I committed a heinous crime!"

Upon hearing this, Mussol's expression turned serious. "What crime have you committed?"

"I misunderstood Lord Norn at the time, thinking he was an accomplice of those humans who trafficked girls. In order to get information out of him as soon as possible, I bought Soul-Stealing Potion from the black market and fed it to Lord Norn!"

!!!

Musolo's pupils dilated in shock, and the ceramic teacup in his hand was suddenly crushed, scalding tea mixed with blood splashing all over the table.

"How dare you! How dare you do such a thing!"

Seeing Mussolo suddenly stand up and open his hand to slap Berto, Norn quickly stopped him:

"Calm down, Chief! Look at me, I'm perfectly fine now. There's not a single sign of addiction."

Mussolo was struck dumb. He turned and examined Norn closely, asking suspiciously, "Did you really drink the Potion of Souls?"

"He did drink it, a whole bottle, which I fed him," Berto said, bending over without getting up.

Mussoro rested his chin on his hand thoughtfully, and a light slowly shone in his eyes.

"Don't you really crave that potion at all?"

"Not at all. That stuff is bitter and astringent; who would like to drink it?"

"Come with me for a moment!"
