Emma has a dedicated school bus for transportation, and normally the probability of a school bus accident is relatively low, so Mark didn't pay too much attention to Emma.

After lunch, Skye suddenly invited, "Mark, let's go visit Esther at the orphanage today."

Mark actually wanted to refuse because he wasn't very familiar with Esther. To Mark, anyone who wasn't affected by his villainous aura wasn't someone he knew.

Esther was stuck in the awkward position of not knowing her well, mainly because he wasn't interested in older girls.

But to maintain his public image, Mark nodded: "Let's go after we finish eating, and we'll bring Jessica with us."

Mark prefers to have Jessica Jones with him, for no particular reason other than for a sense of security.

In this country where you could be shot in the head at any moment while walking down the street, you really don't feel safe without a bodyguard by your side.

Skye wanted to criticize Mark for being too cautious, but considering what Mark had been through, Skye didn't say anything more.

After lunch, the three of them drove Skye's old RV to Agnes Orphanage.

Since it was a trip "home", Skye specially prepared a lot of living supplies and gifts. The living supplies were donated to the orphanage, and the gifts were for the children in the orphanage.

Perhaps because she came from an orphanage, Skye understands very well what the children in the orphanage need.

Upon arriving at the orphanage, the three met the old director.

After some communication and exchange, the three learned that Esther had been adopted three days earlier.

Mark was also somewhat surprised to hear the news, and at the same time felt sorry for the unfortunate family that adopted Esther.

Skye said somewhat worriedly, "Do you know their address? I'd like to go and see Esther."

Esther was sent to the orphanage by her, and Skye felt she should go and see how Esther was doing after being adopted.

The old director simply gave Skye the address. This request was nothing unusual, since the orphanage sometimes organized follow-up visits to prevent child abuse from happening.

After obtaining the address, the three left the orphanage.

The family that adopted Esther is from New York, specifically in Yonkers.

When the three arrived at the address on the business card, they found an empty house.

Skye felt a sense of foreboding. She asked anxiously, "What happened? Did they move away, or...?"

Jessica Jones ripped off the lock and led the two into the house.

After looking around, Mark analyzed, "This house hasn't been lived in for at least three days."

"Look here," Jessica Jones explained, pointing to the bloodstain on the carpet. "It's human blood, and quite a lot of it."

This confirms that the family that adopted Esther definitely has a problem.

Skye's face showed a hint of panic, and she said in a trembling voice, "My computer is in the car, I'll go check it."

Skye hurriedly entered the RV, while Mark and Jessica Jones exchanged a glance, both seeing helplessness and relief in each other's eyes.

Jessica Jones said in a low voice, "If nothing unexpected happens, that child is probably dead."

She wasn't very close to Esther, after all, Esther had gone to the orphanage the day after she moved in, and Jessica Jones knew that Esther disliked her and was afraid of her power.

Mark at most felt a sense of shared sorrow, that Esther, the absolute protagonist of Orphan, had actually died.

Ten minutes later, Skye got out of the RV with a sad expression on her face.

Skye said in a hoarse voice, "The bounty on Esther on the dark web has been withdrawn. If nothing unexpected happens, she should have been murdered."

"It's all my fault, Esther. I shouldn't have sent her to the orphanage." Skye felt extremely guilty, believing she bore the main responsibility for Esther's death.

"Skye, this has nothing to do with you. Esther made her own decision to go back to the orphanage. Blame the people at Epostdan Investment Company for being so mean," Mark quickly reassured her.

Jessica Jones chimed in, "Mark is right, it's all fate. You don't have to take the blame for this. If we're really wrong, Mark and we both agreed to it, so we share the responsibility."

Upon hearing this, Mark curled his lip; he wasn't the type to take the blame and responsibility upon himself.

Esther's murder can only be attributed to her fate.

After all, it was Esther who left voluntarily. If Esther hadn't left, with the influence of the title of the mastermind behind the scenes, Esther wouldn't have been discovered.

Esther's death was indeed a pity, but it was only a pity.

Mark is now more concerned about whether Esther's death exposed their location.

Based on his understanding of Esther, if those people really interrogated her, the probability that Esther would betray them was almost 100%.

So here's the question: why hasn't anyone bothered them these past few days?

Mark kept this to himself for the time being, and then continued to comfort Skye.

two days ago.

Emma, ​​who had just gotten home from school, was blocked on her way by a woman and two men.

The woman in the lead took out several photos and placed them in front of Emma with a smile: "Little beauty, have you seen these people in the photos before?"

Emma saw Mark first, and then herself.

Realizing that this group was also after the bounty on the dark web, a sly glint flashed in Emma's eyes, and then she pretended to be clueless and began to ponder.

"I think I've seen this sister before," Emma said, pointing to Mindy's photo.

Upon hearing this, a look of joy flashed across the three men's faces. They had already earned $1 million, and now they were about to earn another $10 million.

With financial freedom within reach, the woman leading the group excitedly asked, "Where is she? Can you tell me? I can buy you lots of snacks!"

Emma's eyes lit up at the mention of snacks, and she nodded eagerly, "Are you looking for her? I know where she is, and I can take you there."

Upon hearing this, the woman promptly gave Emma $10: "Here, this is your reward. Now take your aunt to find her."

Emma looked at the money the other person handed her with some disdain, appearing somewhat unhappy.

The woman looked at Emma, ​​who was pouting, and roughly knew what the little brat was thinking.

"A greedy brat! He's probably Jewish, isn't he?" the woman cursed inwardly, but outwardly she smiled and handed over a hundred-dollar bill.

After receiving the $100, Emma then led the way.

She knew her disguise was quite effective, and she also knew what Mindy was doing at this time.

Emma led the three directly to Emperor Ming's training room. To facilitate their training, Emma also rented a room downstairs as their training ground.

Emma, ​​who had arrived at the door, pounded on it: "Sister Mindy, open the door quickly! Auntie and two uncles want to see you."
