Chapter 152 Complications!

When she saw the familiar faces of children, Mira gave her confirmation. "They are indeed the children from our town. I am well acquainted with them and their parents."

She seemed happy that some of the kidnapped children had been found, but because she didn't see the figure of her daughter Ashly among them, Mira felt a little lost in her heart.

'No, everything will be fine. Just how these children were rescued. My daughter will also be back to me soon.'

Mira comforted herself in her heart, then she observed the kids with a distressed expression when she saw the bruises on their bodies. "Um, Miss Alicia, why are all the kids asleep?" She couldn't help but feel a little weird.

Alicia pressed her lips, then sighed and opened her mouth to speak. "They are not sleeping. The kidnappers have drugged them unconscious."

"What?!" Mira was shocked. "What kind of drug?! Will they be alright?!" she asked, her voice carrying a hint of worry.

"Lily, explain it to her." Alicia just let Lily answer Mira's questions. Because she knew Lily could explain the hallucination herb and its effects in much detail.

{Okay, Sister Alicia.} Lily's voice sounded. {Miss Mira, it's like this...}

...

After Lily's explanation was over, Mira's face paled, and her legs went weak. She couldn't help but fall to her knees in despair. "N-no way... How could this be?" She was in a state of disbelief. "Mental disorders... schizophrenia... brain hemorrhage... forever unconscious."

Tears started bawling down her eyes as she glanced at the unconscious children. The fear of her daughter suffering from something so terrible made Mira's chest tighten. Her heart wasn't calm anymore. She was having trouble breathing when she thought of her daughter ending up in such a situation with no hope of recovery. n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

Alicia and the others could understand Mira's state of mind now. Diana sympathized with her when she saw Mira's miserable state, but she had no clue how to comfort her. In the end, she could only put her hope in her smart classmate Alicia beside her.

Olivia was about to say something but stopped when she saw Alicia take a step forward towards Mira. 'You have already surprised me many times, Alicia. Will you surprise me again?' She thought with a faint smile and anticipation in her heart.

"Miss Mira..." Alicia called out gently as she crouched beside her.

"... Miss Alicia... my Ashly... she..." Mira couldn't complete her sentence, but her lost and despairing eyes explained everything.

Alicia's eyelashes trembled as found the current state of Mira very familiar. 'I remember... she is reflecting my past self... when I lost... Mom.'

Even if, now that she had started to find happiness in her life, along with Luis. Alicia clearly remembers that despair and that year of longing when she hoped that her mother would return to her, and everything was nothing but a bad dream. Then, many months later, reality struck her, and after that, she only lived for the sole purpose of taking revenge on her mother's killers and bringing her to justice. Although Mira and her situation were different. They both shared the experience of despair of losing their most loved person.

A few minutes later, some guards, along with a medical team, arrived at the location. When Mira saw them, she immediately recognized them. "They are the patrol guards from the town and the staff from the hospital."

The medical team hurried to check the state of the children. After getting to know some ins and outs about the situation from Mira. They all understood the seriousness of the matter and started treating the bruises of the children. After they were done. Alicia said, "Please, take the children back to the town and be prepared for when we rescue the rest of the children."

Just as they nodded, Lily's voice sounded from her Mana bracelet. {Sister Alicia, I found more children.}

"!"

"Huh...!" Alicia was surprised, then hastily asked. "Where?!"

{Master asked me to search for container drums similar to the previous ones. I found such containers inside a warehouse in Gusto Town.}

With her explanation, Alicia understood and marveled at Luis' idea, but that wasn't important right now. "Tell me the location of the warehouse. Also, how many enemies are there?"

{There are 7 of them, but.}

"But, what?"

{This time there are no humans. They are Beast-Kin.}

As soon as Lily's voice sounded, not only Alicia, but even the beast-men were shocked. "What, how could that be?" a beast-men guard asked out loud in disbelief.

Before others could say anything, Alicia said with a cold expression. "Lily, display the image of that warehouse."

{Okay.} Lily immediately turned on the hologram of Alicia's mana bracelet and projected an image.

The projection displayed the image of a dim warehouse where several beast-men could be seen guarding several container drums kept in the warehouse.

{I have confirmed that those drums are made of the same anti-scan material. It's a 95% probability that there are children kept inside them.}

"So, not only humans. There are even beast-men among the kidnappers." Alicia uttered with a deep frown. ***
