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

"Family matters...are far from as simple as they appear."

It was also at this time that Maria finally learned about Lady Sicily's situation.

She was originally a thug for the Sicilian family, but was later accepted as a member of the family because she saved the family's reputation through several battles.

But unfortunately, the Sicilian family did not have much of a piece of cake in Syracuse, and her joining would inevitably divide up the remaining resources. The elders in the family disagreed, so she was sent to Colombia in the name of development.

But what they didn't expect was that in addition to being a good fighter, Lady Sicily also had an amazing strategic vision. With just simple support, she had developed a Sicily branch that was no less powerful than the main family.

This made them feel satisfied with Lady Sicily, but also wary, and they proposed more than once to bring Lady Sicily back to Syracuse and send other newcomers to take over this "rough and tiring" job.

To put it bluntly, it was just a greedy beast that felt that the trouble had been sent away, and when Lady Sicily became rich, she wanted to come and take away the wealth.

But unfortunately, under the arrangement of Lady Sicily, their plan has never been successful... But they did not give up, but kept watching this place in the dark.

As for the matter of the Popolo Winery, not only did Mrs. Sicily put in a lot of effort, but people from Syracuse also helped a lot.

This mistake gave the other party a perfect excuse.

What Lady Sicily has to face now is not only the pressure of strategic mistakes, but also the intensity exerted by those greedy guys in the family.

This really broke her heart.

The other person's physical condition was deteriorating at a speed almost visible to the naked eye.

From the beginning when she went out without any makeup at all, now she has to use some makeup to cover up her haggard face.

These days, she only smiles a little when she is alone with Maria and her daughter.

But fortunately, thanks to her unremitting efforts, the Texas family, which was originally the least likely to attend but the most critical, finally agreed to Mrs. Sicily's invitation on the morning of the banquet.

This made her very happy.

Maria could not understand this joy and just sat upstairs, waiting for everything to develop.

Of course, Maria had the patience to wait, but the baby in her arms did not.

Just as Maria was leaning back in her chair and reading a book, the baby, who should have been sleeping soundly, suddenly started crying.

The chubby little hands grabbed the air randomly.

"Ok?"

Maria checked the girl's body and finally confirmed it after making sure that she had not excreted anything.

"Are you hungry?"

This is troublesome.

After searching for a while, Maria frowned and found that the original milk powder had been eaten up.

There was no other milk powder prepared in the room.

Maria had no choice but to temporarily place her finger on the girl's lips and let her suck it. She then stood up and prepared to find Mrs. Sicily to ask where she could get the nutrition the child needed.

And it was after Maria walked downstairs.

Two men slowly walked towards her.

Maria saw the other person's gangster-style outfit, nodded slightly, and prepared to leave.

But the other party suddenly saw the baby in Maria's arms, frowned, and stretched out his hand.

"Wait a moment……"

Chapter 103: Solo

"Wait a moment."

Just when Maria thought that the other party was just a guest and she didn't need to pay attention to him.

The other party suddenly stretched out his hand and blocked Maria's way.

"You...are not from the Sicilian family?"

A shorter, fatter man, smoking a cigar, looked at Maria.

After looking Maria up and down several times without any hesitation, his eyes fell on the child in Maria's arms.

The baby had grown some hair at this time. Although it was still very light, anyone with a discerning eye could see that it was light yellow hair...but Maria had white hair.

"Is this your child?"

The obese man frowned and asked again.

Maria just turned her head and looked at the other person silently.

"Yes."

"……show me."

As the man spoke, he reached out his hand, wanting to hold the baby to confirm something.

But Maria just waved silently.

Before the people around him could react, the cigar in the man's mouth was cut in half.

The burning part fell to the ground silently.

"For babies, it's better to stay away from bad things like tobacco."

Maria walked past him calmly and continued to leave with the baby in her arms.

Such complete indifference, or even provocative attitude, made the fat man instantly furious.

But he was more puzzled by the existence of the baby.

After a long silence, he waved.

The thugs on the side also hesitated for a few seconds, then adjusted themselves and strode forward, trying to stop Maria.

But obviously, they still underestimated each other's strength.

Although Maria looks very slender, everyone who has fought with her is terrified by her despairing strength.

The thugs didn't even get a chance to put their hands on Maria's shoulders before they felt their vision spinning.

After a moment, they fell heavily to the ground.

For them who live on the tip of a knife, this little pain is almost non-existent.

But the absolute suppression of power displayed in it made them feel uneasy.

They stood up and looked at each other, each with a dull expression like a baby.

Obviously, no one saw clearly how Maria did it.

On the other side, the obese man's brows were furrowed to the deepest point.

He didn't really want to cause trouble, and his original purpose was just to take a look at the baby, wanting to confirm whether it was the Sicilian lady's child as rumored.

But Maria's attitude of not giving him any face made him gradually angry.

And after seeing that the thugs were useless, he decisively grabbed the gun hidden in his black coat.

But he did not escape the thing immediately, but threatened in a low and slow tone.

"Ma'am, I don't want to make things too unpleasant..."

"..."

Maria stopped, turned her head silently and looked at the other person.

The dull look made the man's eyebrows sink.

"I just want to see your cute baby... I think that no matter who you are here as, as a member of the Sicilian family, this request should not be too much to ask, don't you think?"

He obviously didn't realize the seriousness of the matter, and Maria gradually lost her patience after being stopped again and again.

She should have expressed her refusal from the very beginning.

And those who make her unhappy... usually don't end well...

Just as a conflict was about to break out, the sound of footsteps gradually came.

"You two, what happened here?"

The person who came was Mrs. Sicily.

For today's banquet, she specially changed into the most expensive handmade silk dress... It was a precious fabric that came from the country of Yan, east of Terra. Even the socialites in Colombia would be proud of a handmade silk handkerchief.

Lady Sicily, on the other hand, was wearing a dress that was clearly one-piece... which made her already elegant and graceful demeanor even more alluring.

She chuckled and came over to Maria's side, her eyes widening when she saw the baby.

"Is this your offspring? He looks so cute."

“…Thanks and praise.”

"Oh, I forgot to introduce you, Uncle Solo." Mrs. Sicily's attitude was very calm. Even when facing the man who was obviously furious, she continued to speak in calm words.

"This is Miss Maria from Victoria, an ancient noblewoman..."

"……noble."

After hearing Mrs. Sicily's explanation, the man who was originally a little proud also changed his expression slightly.

The 10,000 most common people in the world are from the Chinese nation, and the 1,000 most common people in the world are from the Chinese nation.

"Sorry, I'm being too sensitive..."

"...It doesn't matter."

Maria glanced at the other person and spoke softly.

Although Lady Sicily spoke simply to help Maria out of the situation, what she didn't know was that Maria was indeed of noble blood.

In just a moment, she adjusted her posture.

From its original slightly drooping posture that allowed it to enter the battlefield at any time, it became more upright, more elegant and proud.

Her eyes turned away slightly, and the sharpness in them made everyone afraid to look at her.

It's something that can't be described in words.

Just by changing her demeanor slightly, Maria's aura seemed to expand several times.

This momentum also dispelled the last bit of doubt in the man's heart.

Now, the only puzzle left in his mind was how Lady Sicily got in touch with the nobles of Victoria?

And why would this unknown nobleman appear in this family banquet?

Of course, Maria would not give him answers to these questions, nor would Lady Sicily.

Maria simply turned her head and winked at Lady Sicily impassively before continuing.

"Thank you for agreeing to let me bring my child here, but it's a little hard to say. My child still needs nutrition..."

"I think I understand. You don't have to embarrass yourself by saying those inappropriate words. Please follow me."

Mrs. Sicily immediately understood what Maria meant. She nodded, gestured to the man beside her, then turned around and left with Maria.

And Solo stayed where he was.

Beside him, the family members who followed him leaned closer to his ear.

"That child..."

“…Let’s not delve into this for now.”

Solo was silent for a moment, then waved his hand.

Syracuse is very powerful, but the family's weight is obviously not as great as that of the nobles from Victoria.

It would be better for them not to delve into this matter.

He looked at Maria and Lady Sicily walking away, his eyes full of thought.

Chapter 104: Breath of the Wolf

"I'm sorry... for disrupting your plans and arrangements."

Hiding in an empty little room, Maria drew the curtains. After making sure that no one was following her, she quietly leaned against the door and silently apologized to Lady Sicily who was not far away.
