-Singing and dancing in a harmonious setting came to mind when
Elise heard the words ‘cultural festival’.
When it was associated with children, celebrations generally featured adorable performances. What the
audience wanted to see was the kids’ innocence and vigor. However, she knew that the Triune’s
cultural festival must be different, so she moved closer to the wall to get a better view.
Several men surrounded the plaza to maintain order. They were clad in the clothes of medieval
European guards with swords in their hands. Geez! Talk about looking intimidating.
The person giving instructions to the kids was a woman. Her clothes were similar to those of the other
guards, but she was supposed to be of a higher rank.
“All of you, go up there!” the woman ordered while pointing at the platform that was just as tall as she
was.
The kids divided themselves into two groups and went up the steps in an orderly manner. Soon, the
platform was crammed with people. Some of them could only stand on the steps or near the fences.
“Listen up. Two people will form a group. You can choose your partner freely. The only thing you have
to do is to push everyone else off the platform. Only one group will be left.”
When the woman finished explaining the rules, she activated the timer and said, “You only have five
minutes. Start now.”
The next moment, the kids on the platform flared up like oil in a frying pan. The kids on the steps were
pushed down before they even managed to form into groups.
Nevertheless, they were considered lucky. The woman was lanky, and the fences around the platform
were about 1.6 feet tall. In other words, the platform was about 6.5 feet in height. The ground was
made from cement. If fragile kids like them fell to the ground, they might hurt their necks and brains,
which were no laughing matter.
These people are so mentally distorted by letting kids take part in such a cruel game. Elise furrowed
her brows, for she was concerned about these kids.
Much to her surprise, other than a spectator like her, no one around her questioned the legitimacy of
this game. Even the participants reacted like robots and got into a fight upon receiving the order. One
by one, the kids fell off the platform and thudded against the cement ground, which was a heart-
wrenching sight.
In just two minutes, only a chubby kid and a thin one left. They were apparently in the same group. The
chubby kid was already celebrating their victory with raised fists.
“Well done. Both of you have passed the test. Come down.” The woman stopped the timer before
announcing their victory.
The chubby kid draped his arm around the other kid’s shoulder and shuffled toward the steps, ready to
accept some compliments. However, before they even walked down the stairs, the thin kid suddenly
pushed the other one down.
In an instant, the chubby kid lost his balance and rolled down the steps. By the time he reached the
ground, he had passed out.
The woman took a glance at the kid on the floor before looking up. “Why did you make a move on your
team member?”
“For the same batch of kids, only one will get the chance to receive the organization’s training. There
are no team members, to begin with. He and I have been competitors since the beginning. There’s no
reason for me to miss such a chance.” The thin kid appeared calm and collected, as though he didn’t
feel his action was despicable at all.
Elise looked at his bony face and felt disgusted.
She initially thought that the woman would chastise him, but to her surprise, the latter praised the
young kid instead.
The thin kid adjusted his glasses without responding to her. Nevertheless, his expression was smug
and conceited.
At that moment, Elise felt as though she was looking at another Owen. The next instant, she realized
something and placed her hand on her belly.
I see. That’s what they’re up to. Owen has decided not to kill me because his target has always been
the child in my womb. Alexander’s child! The child has Alexander’s genes, and coupled with Triune’s
distorted education system, they’ll be able to nurture a powerful destroyer.
Elise curved her lips into a sneer. It seems that they know they’re no match for Alexander.
“This child is just as bright as Mr. Morgan when he was a young kid. I’m sure he’ll be successful one
day. I suppose we can pin our hope on him for Triune’s future.” After a sigh, Emily urged them to get
going. “The show is over. Let’s go.”
Elise followed her calmly, but she could never move her eyes away from the kid on the platform.
A while later, the kid seemed to have noticed her stare, so he turned his head eerily.
As their gazes met, the kid’s blue eyes seemed to have set Elise’s heart ablaze like a ghost fire. She
shuddered while having a premonition. Then, they rounded a corner and left the plaza behind.
The room Elise was confined to this time was more spacious than the previous one. They didn’t seem
to have other plans for transferring her to this place.
The only difference was that the young woman was now responsible for taking care of her instead.
…
In the dungeon, a man held a wine glass at a 45-degree angle. As the red liquid slid down his throat, he
gulped it down and felt pleased.
“I haven’t had such fine red wine for a long time. It’s worth 30,000.” While looking at the expensive wine
in his hand, he appeared languid.
Alexander stood across from him with a contemptuous gaze. It seems that Owen is indeed poor. He
has only gotten a bit of money from Smith Co., but that’s enough to make him act conceitedly.
“Since I’ve granted your wish, you should fulfill your promise. I have to check on Anastasia,” Alexander
reminded him.
Ignoring him, Owen tilted his head and poured himself another glass of wine.
A moment later, he finished half of the wine and beckoned to a subordinate slowly. The subordinate
then put down a laptop and let Alexander look at the screen, which showed Elise pacing around in her
room.
Alexander clenched his fists, thinking that Owen was cunning. Since he didn’t say he had to check on
Anastasia face-to-face, Owen took full advantage of it and only showed him the footage.
“How do I know if it’s pre-recorded footage?” Alexander questioned.
As though having expected his response, Owen signaled for his subordinate to pass Alexander a
phone. A call had been connected.
Alexander took the phone and saw Elise holding one as well through the security footage. Then, a
familiar voice was heard saying over the phone, “It’s me. I’m fine, and the kid is safe too. Johnny, you
must work closely with Mr. Morgan.”
Alexander set his mind at ease, then asked, “Where are you, Mrs. Griffith?”
He realized that Elise was in a different room, so he was worried he wouldn’t be able to locate the
woman. In that case, once they started taking action to destroy the enemies, Elise would be targeted.
“I have no idea. They took me to a different place yesterday, but I don’t know where it is.” Elise touched
her belly and gave him a hint. “There are many kids around here. I’m sure I can give birth to a healthy
child.”
