Chapter 911 - 907: Pursuers Arrive
Xiang Yiting blushed, lowered her head, and quietly explained, "I washed my clothes before sleeping, so I just wore them like this."Seeing Xiang Yiting, head down, looking like a child who had done something wrong, Xiao Tian could only shake his head helplessly and sigh as he led the way downstairs, saying, "You’ll have to borrow Adison Claire’s clothes to wear later."
"No, that’s not necessary!" Xiang Yiting said with embarrassment, having never shared clothes with others before.
"What do you mean ’not necessary’!"
Xiao Tian immediately said angrily, "It’s autumn now, the temperature difference between day and night is so great. Are you going out like this to prove that your physical condition is better than others’?"
With just one sentence, Xiao Tian immediately noticed Xiang Yiting’s expression change, making him instantly realize he might have misspoken.
Quickly, Xiao Tian recalled how he had inadvertently observed Xiang Yiting’s constitution before, even concluding that her survival until now was a miracle.
Although a bit harsh, Xiao Tian was confident that his judgment wasn’t wrong.
While Xiao Tian’s words seemed ordinary, if directed at Xiang Yiting, they were truly inappropriate.
With this in mind, seeing Xiang Yiting wordless and lowering her head, Xiao Tian couldn’t help but explain, "Perhaps my words were too harsh. But I really didn’t mean anything by it."
Xiang Yiting forced a smile and said, "It’s okay, I know you’re worried I might catch a cold. Thank you! I’m not upset."
As they spoke, they had already arrived downstairs, where the second floor had now become empty and deserted.
What no one could know was that a tea-colored unknown creature was silently crawling out from the door...
...
Upon reaching downstairs, Xiao Tian and Xiang Yiting coincidentally encountered Adison Claire coming out of her room.
She was wearing light blue tight jeans, travel shoes, and a black coat on top, perfectly highlighting her impressive curves.
A mask covered her face, and a pair of large-framed sunglasses could be vaguely seen in her pocket.
Seeing this, Xiao Tian immediately said, "Give her one of your clothes to change into, quickly, we need to leave immediately."
Adison Claire was shocked to see Xiang Yiting looking like a drenched chicken, but she knew the urgency and didn’t ask too many questions.
Quickly, she pulled Xiang Yiting into her room, and when they came out again, Xiang Yiting had changed clothes.
Although it looked quite awkward, at least she didn’t have to worry about catching a cold.
Xiao Tian raised his wrist, the time had passed five or six minutes, about two minutes before he expected the Water Drop Organization to arrive.
"Let’s go!"
With a call, Xiao Tian took the lead and stepped forward, Adison Claire and Xiang Yiting exchanged a glance and closely followed behind.
As they reached outside the estate’s rusty iron gate, Adison Claire suddenly stopped, a hint of struggle in her eyes, then she gritted her teeth and was about to run back.
Xiao Tian, quick-eyed and quick-handed, immediately grasped Adison Claire’s wrist and asked sternly, "What are you doing?!"
Adison Claire’s eyes were firm and she said resolutely, "I need to go back to get something!"
Xiao Tian pressed further, "What is it? Is it valuable?"
"Not valuable."
Adison Claire shook her head, then added, "But to me, it’s more important than my life; it’s my only motivation to keep living!"
As soon as she finished speaking, a rustling sound echoed from the distant dense forest.
The moon was bright and the stars scarce, with no wind felt at all, so one could only imagine what the noise was.
Except for the unsuspecting Xiang Yiting!
Seeing Adison Claire’s unwavering determination, Xiao Tian thought for a moment and then said, "Can you give me a simple description of the item? I’ll help you retrieve it."
Hearing the increasingly clear and urgent rustling sound, and looking at Xiao Tian in front of her, Adison Claire felt a wave of emotion in her heart.
It was the first time she’d felt such a long-lost feeling of being moved since her appearance was destroyed!
But the more she felt this way, the more Adison Claire believed she couldn’t let Xiao Tian risk himself for her. She knew better than anyone the strength and terror of the Water Drop Organization!
However, just as she was about to politely decline, she saw Xiao Tian urging with an impatient look, "Hurry up and tell me, otherwise no one will be able to escape."
Her eyes flickering, Adison Claire hesitated for a moment before saying, "It’s a pink pocket watch, inside the drawer of the study’s computer desk."
"Alright, you two run in this direction and don’t stop!" Xiao Tian pointed to a direction opposite the dense forest, then immediately dashed towards the estate, heading straight for Adison Claire’s study.
Seeing Xiao Tian’s decisive and swift action, Adison Claire gritted her teeth, held the still somewhat dazed Xiang Yiting’s hand, and started running. Now the only thing she could do was not to let Xiao Tian’s efforts go to waste by following his instructions.
At this moment, Adison Claire had already made up her mind that if Xiao Tian didn’t return this time, she would spend the rest of her life using all conceivable means to launch a frenzied revenge against the Water Drop Organization!
Until the Water Drop Organization is wiped out!
On the other side, after confirming the location of Adison Claire’s study, Xiao Tian directly broke in through the window from the front yard.
After the sound of shattering glass, Xiao Tian braced himself on one knee, then quickly scanned the room, rapidly rushing to the computer desk, opening the drawer according to Adison Claire’s instructions.
Sure enough, on top of several books, lay a pink pocket watch.
The pocket watch appeared very small, unlikely to be worn by an adult, and judging by its appearance, some parts had started to show signs of fading, obviously having existed for quite some time.
Indeed, when Xiao Tian opened the pocket watch, he found that the hands had long since stopped, and the background was a man and a woman with a brown-haired little girl between them, who seemed about six or seven years old.
All three faces brimmed with smiles of happiness, and upon closer inspection, Xiao Tian noticed the woman’s features bore a seventy to eighty percent resemblance to Adison Claire.
Given this, it’s not hard to deduce that Adison Claire was the six or seven-year-old girl in the image, while the man and woman were her father and mother.
With his objective achieved, Xiao Tian pocketed the pocket watch and, taking the photo frame on the desk similar to the pocket watch’s background, he sprinted out through the broken window.
After landing and rolling on the ground, Xiao Tian couldn’t help but pause, for a team of a dozen people had already gathered before him.
Just one glance, and the dozen revealed their hostile intentions, each ready and eager.
