639 The Sparrow Network
Yarin’s POV:
I should tell Alfred about this so he wouldn’t worry, and I could also entrust him with helping me find someone.
But I didn’t know if I could trust him.
It was true that he already knew my secret, but that was our business, and he was a decent man, and I was sure he’d keep it.
But when it came to Lily, it was a completely different matter. Lily was his sister, and they had the same mother. Besides, Alfred didn’t have much say in the family yet, so I was unsure if he could keep his mouth shut under blood pressure and family pressure.
Lily wanted to escape from that suffocating home. Once Aunt Teresa captured her, she would probably face unprecedented defense and never be able to leave.
But should I hide it? I must ask my parents to look for Lily. I couldn’t go to her personally with my current state. But my mom would definitely tell Aunt Teresa the truth. I was fine, but Lily would be in trouble after she was found.
But, should I do nothing? I couldn’t do it. I couldn’t sit by and watch Lily be in danger.
In the end, I still didn’t tell Alfred anything. I watched as he left without knowing anything.
“What’s wrong with you?” After he left, Heller asked, “You seem to have something to say; however, you hesitated.”
“You can see?”
“No, I can feel it because I know you. You’re worried about Lily. If nothing was going on, you’d have gone to Mom and Dad for help. However, you’re not wrong about anything now. This is very abnormal. Either you’re a scummy flash in a pan, or you know something but can’t say it.” ππ²π±π§πΌπ―π²πΉοΌπ§ππ
“… I have to update my evaluation of you, kid. You’re just acting dumb on the surface, but you know stuff,” I told Heller. He was the only one I could trust.
“Well, Lily is on our side now,” he said. “But if she doesn’t know where to find you, why did she arrange to meet you? You’re really a fool, Yarin. You should have known she was lying to you just so she wouldn’t implicate you.”
Heller’s words pierced through my heart like a spear. I knew that he was right. I was a fool. How could I not see through such an obvious excuse?
“Anyway, the whole city is sealed off now. Lily should still be in the Silver Moon Pack,” I whispered. “Aunt Teresa and Francis must have sent people to look for her.”
“So you’re going to do nothing?”
“No, on the contrary, I have to find Lily before they do. Aunt Teresa could no longer tolerate Lily’s rebellion. Once the Silver Moon Family found her first, Lily could never escape this disgusting life. However, if I find her first, as long as I say she discovered the Lily of the Valley’s base with me, she will become a hero.
“Because since Mom doesn’t blame me, she can’t blame my companions, let alone others. And I’m not lying. If it weren’t for Lily’s help, I wouldn’t have been able to get any information, let alone capture anyone.”
“How do you know that Aunt Teresa won’t disobey you? After we leave, she might punish Lily again,” Heller said.
“She won’t. She’s a yes-man to Mom – don’t look at me like that. I don’t believe you can’t tell. Aunt Teresa’s intention to please Mom is too obvious. She doesn’t even hide it at all.”
“Alright, I can see that sometimes Mom doesn’t seem to know how to face her. I think she treats Aunt Teresa as a friend, but sometimes, Aunt Teresa’s deliberate actions make her quite sad.” Heller also frowned.
“Who knows? Anyway, that’s the matter of the older generation. I’m not interested. I just want to save Lily.”
I couldn’t ask for help from the Silver Moon Family or my parents, so I could only rely on myself.
It was not accurate to say that I was relying on myself. To be precise, I was mainly relying on Heller.
“My favorite animals are sparrows. They are cute and agile, and they are my best helpers.” A row of grey birds was parked beside the window. As soon as Heller waved his hand, they flew into the ward. “What’s more, they’re numerous and ubiquitous. They’re natural eyes.”
A sparrow obediently stopped in his hand. He bent his fingers and gently scratched its feathers. There was no emotion in his lifeless eyes. He really had the demeanor of a master.
However, the next second, his aura disappeared without a trace. “It’s a pity that I haven’t reached that level yet. Right now, I can only control five sparrows at the same time. Don’t think it’s too little. Sparrows communicate with each other very frequently. These five sparrows are enough to cover the entire Silver Moon Pack’s sparrow network.”
“Wow, a sparrow network⦔ I repeated it seriously.
Heller ignored me as he released the sparrow and said, “Lily must have hidden herself. The sparrows won’t be able to find her for a while. All we can do now is wait and pray that nothing unexpected happens.”
