In Terra, she is a hunter and a bad woman.

"...I'm the same as always."

Maria didn't give a direct answer. She just nodded slightly and continued to read the documents.

After sorting everything out again, her brows furrowed.

"There's a problem with the Texas family...Special monsters have appeared in Columbia...The Banshee's secrets and the Sarkaz...And, Cainhurst?!"

Maria remained extremely calm in the first part of the letter, but after the last word appeared, her voice rose slightly.

Her pupils dilated slightly, and her eyes revealed disbelief.

Cainhurst?

Cainhurst!

Shouldn't I be the only Cainhurst left in this world?!

How could this happen? !

Maria's expression became extremely solemn.

This made Mrs. Sicily a little curious.

"You know this?"

"I know... I know very well what this means." Maria's eyes gradually became silent. In a flash, Lady Sicily saw in astonishment that a monster was gradually waking up.

But she didn't have a seizure.

He just took a deep breath and raised his head silently.

"Maybe... we should go and see that land..."

Chapter 241 Exposed

Almost in the blink of an eye, Cellinina had been back in Colombia for a week.

There have been a lot fewer things going on these past few days.

The loudest voices came from the Sarkaz people in the city who were dissatisfied with the public killing of their compatriots and began to protest, but there were also many extremists who believed that what Lappland did was just... After all, Lappland looked like a teenager, and the one who was killed was an extremely dangerous Sarkaz demon!

The two sides quarreled fiercely, which resulted in Cellinina's attempt to bail out Laplande being delayed again and again.

Until now, the time for her meeting with Salvatore Rei, which she had agreed to with her father, had come, and she had no choice but to come here alone...

Standing outside the ward door, Celinina held a few small flowers in her hands, her face looking a little nervous.

Just now, a large number of doctors rushed into the ward to check Salvatore's physical condition.

The girl and Leonardo, who knew nothing about this, could only stand at the door, waiting anxiously.

"It'll be okay...Chelinina."

As if noticing his daughter's uneasiness, Leonardo patted her shoulder and smiled at the confused little face.

Although Cellinina was worried, she could only remain quiet.

They didn't have to wait too long. The doctors who had just rushed into the ward came out with worried looks on their faces.

An ominous premonition appeared in the girl's heart.

She immediately stepped forward to ask.

"Doctor, grandpa's condition..."

"very bad……"

The gray-haired man in the lead shook his head, looking somewhat bitter.

"We have used all our skills, but... I'm sorry, Mr. Salvadore's health is really..."

"What did you say?"

On the side, Leonardo's face suddenly turned gloomy. He took a step forward and lifted the other person's collar.

The old man opposite also showed a bit of panic on his face.

Behaving like this doesn't seem like that of a businessman, but more like that of a scoundrel.

But Cellinina had no time to care about her father's strange behavior. Instead, she raised her hand anxiously and freed the doctor from her father's hand with a clever force. She did not care about the man's astonished expression and turned to ask the doctor anxiously.

"what do you mean?"

"I... I mean..." The doctor was slightly surprised to see the girl perform such a trick, but after quickly stabilizing the girl, he spoke seriously, "Mr. Salvadore has been severely weakened due to excessive physical exertion in his early years. The fact that he's been able to hold on until now has exceeded all of our expectations, but... even so, his current physical condition is not optimistic."

"So... there's still hope?!"

Celinina's eyes widened slightly, revealing a hint of excitement.

The doctor nodded.

"Although his condition is serious, it's not irreversible. However, it would be too troublesome to continue to stay in the Texas Mansion for treatment... and we can't confirm his health condition in time..."

"So...you mean, Grandpa needs to be treated somewhere else?"

After really hearing the doctor's words, Cellinina's expression finally relaxed, and Leonardo beside her also came back to his senses from the little girl's act of taking away his strength. After a moment of silence, he spoke again.

"So… can we go see him now?"

"Hmm... Regarding this, I actually recommend silence... After all, patients are very sensitive to sounds these days, and we're worried..."

Although the doctor did not mean to refuse Leonardo, his words and deeds hinted that it would be better not to meet him now.

This made Leonardo frown.

On the side, Celinina nodded sensibly.

"Thank you for your help. Please go to the conference room and rest for a while. Afterwards, the Texas family will arrange for someone to take you back to your work... along with your hard work pay."

The girl's simple words not only stopped Leonardo from having an attack, but also gave the doctors a reassurance.

After all, when facing Leonardo, this crazy guy completely disregarded their identities and even threatened their lives from time to time.

In contrast, although Cellinina was young, she knew very well what to do and when. At this time, the doctors had done what they could, and success or failure could not be blamed on them. So the girl not only did not blame the doctors for failing to save the life, but also arranged follow-up for them.

This made them unable to help but look at the little girl again.

But it was just one more look.

Anyone with a discerning eye knows that it is not the time for her to have a say in the Texas family.

In a hurry, the group began to leave.

Cellinina looked at Salvadore's ward with her brows slightly lowered, revealing a bit of anxiety.

Leonardo sighed beside him.

"I'm sorry, my little Celinina, the date you want to meet him may have to be postponed..."

"It's okay, Father...it's okay."

Celinina did not show any unpleasant expression. She just raised her head slightly, nodded to the man, and turned away silently.

The man just looked at the girl's back as she left without saying a word.

Then...the father and daughter both raised their heads.

Revealing those wolf-like eyes...

……

"So...is it basically confirmed?"

In the detention center, Laplande and Celinina were talking about what happened outside the ward today.

Both sides narrowed their eyes and discussed what had happened in the past few days.

Meanwhile, a curious Sakota woman was recording today's meeting with a pen in her unique code.

Ever since Lappland was imprisoned here, several people have reached a wonderful tacit understanding silently.

The Sakota woman wants to investigate the real cause of the Colombian man-eating monster, Cellinina wants to find out what happened to her family, and Laplande wants to protect Cellinina.

Although everyone has different goals, the things they want to investigate are connected by an extremely subtle coincidence.

"It's basically confirmed..."

Celinina lowered her head, holding the teacup in her hand.

"These past few days, I've been visiting many of the older generation's homes as planned. Just as you said, I didn't even need to ask, just the slightest hint, and they proactively expressed their support. Father's actions lately have been too extreme and radical, and many people have expressed dissatisfaction with him... And just as we suspected before, after Grandpa became seriously ill, except for the initial period, it was basically Father who arranged his treatment."

"And today... it's just as you said. I have no chance of seeing Grandpa..."

"That's for sure." Laplande wasn't surprised by Cellinina's experience. "Even if the problem was serious, how could an illness last half a year? Your father must have found some way to keep Mr. Salvadore under house arrest."

"Initially, he probably wanted to buy time for his power, rapidly expanding it. Once his influence had grown, he could force Mr. Salvadore to step down... But he didn't anticipate how great Salvadore's reputation was. Even though he recruited many people, few actually followed him. As a result, he can only continue to prolong Mr. Salvadore's illness to buy himself time."

"The reason they called you back was actually just a delaying tactic, hoping to discourage the older generation of family members from becoming so radical... After all, they don't want any major chaos in the Texas family. Given a choice, they would definitely choose you as their front man, allowing them to gradually reclaim their power..."

"And this can also buy him some time."

Lappland took a deep breath and looked at Celinina, whose expression was becoming increasingly serious. She paused for a moment and then looked at the Sakota woman beside her.

After the other party nodded, she continued.

"During this time, Mulis and I have also investigated the various disturbances that have occurred in Colombia over the past six months... We can basically confirm that these were caused by those Sarkaz mercenaries."

"But this shouldn't be the work of the Sarkaz collective. There should be a group of people among them who have formed a special organization and are carrying out these things in a planned manner..."

"The most crucial thing is that those who were victimized or disappeared were often people who had some kind of cooperative relationship with the Texas family... This isn't hard to spot, but until now, few people have mentioned it..."

Lappland's eyes swept over everyone present, and his expression became increasingly silent.

There seems to be only one answer to explain this result.

This group of Sarkaz people reached some kind of agreement with Leonardo... This agreement made them choose to help Leonardo deal with those who did not support him inside and outside the family.

And such an answer made them feel uncomfortable.

Although the fighting in Syracuse continues, they all know that even in the most dangerous times, the family still stands behind them.

But at this moment, they seemed to have fallen into a trap called Colombia.

The entire city has now turned into a giant spider web, and there are only three of them...

Isolated.

How can they solve all these problems?

"Besides..." Laplande looked at Cellinina in front of him, hesitated for a moment, and then decided to speak out what was in his heart. "Others may not know, but the older generation of the Texas family should also be able to see these problems... This should be the best excuse for them to criticize and warn Leonardo, but so far, no one has mentioned it... This means that someone is suppressing their voices..."

"Also, according to my understanding, the one who first brought in the Sarkaz was actually..."

"That's enough..." Cellinina took a deep breath and didn't let Lappland continue.

"I don't know much about you, Father, but... Grandpa isn't the kind of person who would do something like this!"

"But if he wasn't involved, there's a lot we can't explain!"

"That must be because there's something we haven't investigated yet!"

"Then do you have any clues?"

"I……"

"Chelinina, are you awake?"

Lappland's voice became unusually serious.

At least, in her opinion, the current situation is obviously not as simple as just wanting to protect Cellinina in the family power struggle.

Although she also found it hard to believe, based on the clues found so far, all the strange things and deaths that occurred in Colombia in the past six months were closely related to the two leaders of the Texas family!

Salvadore is indeed a heroic figure worthy of respect.

but……

"Ms. Maria said... all heroes grow old one day." Lappland whispered, his eyes drooping.

She felt a little sorry when she saw Celinina in front of her with her head down and not saying a word, but she had to tell her everything.

Maybe many of them are wrong, but in the case of entry, only by putting the preset in the most dangerous corner can they find the most reliable solution to the problem!

"There may be a misunderstanding here, but... our abilities are not as great as Ms. Maria's, and we cannot afford to fail."

"I don't believe Mr. Salvadore is that crazy, but the fact is, before he fell ill, he introduced the Sarkaz to Colombia, which in turn helped Leonardo..."
