MTLNOVEL Chapter 242
The two subordinates behind Xiao Ya exchanged glances.
0
Did she say Mr. Ke Muning?
0
She did mention Mr. Ke Muning, right?
0
Yes, she definitely did!
0
How could this person be the master's goddaughter?
0
Xiao Ya suddenly turned around. Not wanting them to slip up, she took the initiative and asked in German, "Does Ke Muning have other goddaughters? That's outrageous!"
0
Xiao Ya spoke with an angry expression.
0
The two subordinates felt their scalps tingle.
0
What should they do? She's angry?
0
They had never had to comfort a young girl before!
0
How should they console her?
0
Even if their master were here, he might not be able to handle this well!
0
This uncertainty pushed back everything else they wanted to say, leaving them only able to stammer, their lips moving wordlessly before finally squeezing out: "We'll... we'll call the master to ask."
0
Edith suddenly interjected, "Was that German?"
0
Xiao Ya lifted her chin slightly, nodding proudly.
0
Edith smiled and said, "I know a little bit too."
0
Really? Or just pretending?
0
Xiao Ya remained unfazed and said, "Oh? Then repeat what we just said."
0
Edith's eyes flickered.
0
Weren't Chinese people supposed to be modest and reserved? Especially Chinese girls, who should be completely opposite to foreign girls.
0
This one was truly arrogant.
0
A thousand times more arrogant than Qin Yue had ever been!
0
"Were you asking them to call home?" Edith asked.
0
So she could only understand scattered words.
0
Xiao Ya felt slightly relieved.
0
If Qin Yue could understand the dialect, their future conversations would be even more secure.
0
Xiao Ya continued in German to Edith: "Whose property is this? Your family's? What's fun to do here?"
0
Edith's expression stiffened slightly: "Are you asking what's fun to do?"
0
But quickly someone behind her said: "She also asked whose property this is?"
0
Xiao Ya then said another phrase in German: "DiebstahlversicherungetwinRatenabzahlen."
0
This time no one responded.
0
This wasn't a complete sentence, but rather a string of financial vocabulary.
0
It showed that when slightly more technical words were used, they couldn't understand at all.
0
Finally satisfied with her test, Xiao Ya felt completely at ease.
0
Edith watched her, eyes flickering, feeling very displeased while also becoming alert.
0
This Chinese girl was extremely guarded; she was testing to see if they could understand.
0
Such a person... Edith felt hesitant.
0
But then Xiao Ya lifted her chin again, looking down her nose at them, and snorted, "So you really can't understand. What was that about knowing German?"
0
Edith: "..."
0
So it wasn't about testing them? It was purely about mocking them?
0
She's so arrogant.
0
Too arrogant!
0
Only a Chinese family could raise such a proud yet peculiarly naive girl who hadn't been exposed to much of the world.
0
"Don't be so proud, we know things you don't," Edith said with a smirk.
0
"Like what?" Xiao Ya asked.
0
"Like driving, can you drive?"
0
Xiao Ya: "...No." She was underage and couldn't drive.
0
"We also know how to shoot," Edith's smile grew wider.
0
"I know guns are banned in your country. Would you like to try something new? Not just guns. Have you ever had alcohol? Want to taste some?"
0
"Parents, teachers, they all restrict your freedom, but here, you can have absolute freedom, experience everything you've never experienced before..."
0
Edith said, taking the lead: "Come on, though I suggest you don't bring your bodyguards when doing these things. They might tell your parents. I hear Chinese parents love to educate their children with fists and sticks. You wouldn't want to get beaten, would you?"
0
"What if they have to follow me?"
0
Edith turned back: "Then it's my turn to mock you. Don't you even have the courage to fight for your own freedom?"
0
Xiao Ya turned to her subordinates: "Wait for me here."
0
The subordinates nodded.
0
If Edith had been more observant, she would have noticed these "bodyguards" were suspiciously compliant, not even attempting a single word of protest.
0
Edith led Xiao Ya across the carpet to a set of double doors.
0
Behind the doors was dim lighting, with gun racks on one side and a swimming pool on the other.
0
"Aren't you curious why there aren't any targets?" Edith turned and asked.
0
Xiao Ya obligingly nodded.
0
Edith picked up a gun: "Are you scared?"
0
"No."
0
Edith loaded the gun and fired at a light globe on the ceiling.
0
The globe instantly shattered, pieces scattering everywhere.
0
The other girls couldn't help covering their faces to avoid the falling shards.
0
Qin Yue had seen such tricks before, and rather than this deliberate "performance," she was more interested in Xiao Ya's expression.
0
But... she didn't even blink.
0
Edith hadn't noticed Xiao Ya's expression. She slowly lowered the gun and asked, "Was that fun?"
0
"Not really."
0
Edith took a small breath, surprised that this one seemed to be "worldly."
0
She pressed a button on the wall, and a door opened.
0
Inside was a small dark room.
0
Xiao Ya's first reaction was to look for the emergency exit.
0
Edith raised the gun and fired another shot.
0
In the dim light, a shadow suddenly shuddered but couldn't make a sound.
0
Edith said, "This is why we don't need targets. Do you find it fun now?"
0
As Xiao Ya's eyes adjusted to the darkness, she finally saw that huddled on the ground was a girl who was also only in her teens.
0
The bullet had grazed past her feet, leaving a smoking hole in the ground.
0
Xiao Ya stepped back half a step: "Using people as targets? That's illegal."
0
"Can't handle it?" Edith finally felt like she had regained control of the situation.
0
She shrugged: "But you've already broken local laws. The law states that minors can't enter bars."
0
She paused, then continued: "If my hand were to slip, and I accidentally killed this girl. You're at the scene, you'd be implicated too.
0
Then your family would have to rush over here because you're being prosecuted... Your studies would be interrupted, and there are many other consequences. Do you need me to continue?"
0
"Wondering what to do?" Edith moved closer, "Let me tell you what to do."
0
"Here, some people always have special privileges."
0
"If you join us, your studies and life here will be very smooth, even teachers will fear you..."
0
Xiao Ya naturally thought of what she had seen before - "Brotherhood?"
0
Edith paused: "You've heard of it? Well, yes, I heard there are many rumors about brotherhoods in your country. But we're not a brotherhood, we're a sisterhood."
0
"Now, tell me, which Chinese family's daughter are you?" Edith coaxed.
0
"My brother is the Chief Inspector," Xiao Ya said briefly.
0
Edith's eyes lit up.
0
Currently serving?
0
Even better!
0
Qin Yue looked confused. Was she making this up? Where did she get a brother who was Chief Inspector?
0
"So we're friends now?" Edith asked proactively.
0
Xiao Ya thought briefly, then said: "That depends on what other interesting things you have."
0
Edith was surprised: "Isn't what we've shown enough?"
0
Xiao Ya took the gun from her hand.
0
Edith was caught off guard, her expression changing slightly: "You..."
0
Xiao Ya expertly loaded the gun and pulled the trigger.
0
"Bang—"
0
The bullet hit the mural on the wall, right between the eyes of the woman in the painting.
0
That painting was Edith's self-portrait.
0
Xiao Ya said: "This, I've played with long ago."
0
Everyone else instantly fell silent.
0
Was she really a Chinese child?

Qin Yue was also stunned.
0
Outside the door.
0
The subordinates were trying to call Ke Muning.
0
"No signal?"
0
"Looks like they've installed special signal jammers here."
0
The subordinates spoke while maintaining perfectly neutral expressions. They were used to others blocking signals before going in to take care of people.
0
They'd picked the wrong ancestors to play this trick on.
0
They took out a device and pressed a switch... Ten minutes later, the signal blocking was disabled.
0
They eagerly redialed Ke Muning's number: "Sir, do you have a second goddaughter?"
0
"The young miss is very angry now," they reported honestly.
