Chapter 298

"They got me, huh."

Miriam clicked her tongue, she was grinning but her expression was so bad as if she ate shit. It was good that Lemar was playing outside, it would be bad for him to see her mother like this. 

As for Kyle, he just left last night. Before he left, he spent his time together with Miriam and Lemar. He was stiff because he wasn't used to that but he was at peace, Miriam was happy to see that her family was complete. It was unfortunate that they have to separate again. Lemar wanted to stop Kyle from leaving but the child was afraid that Kyle would hate him. In the end, Lemar bawled so loud when Kyle left. 

Miriam took a long sigh and massaged the space between her brows. She was getting stressed, these recent events were so fast and she didn't have the time to react. Because of the situations inside the mansion, Miriam neglected her surveillance around the world. 

She just returned to her job when she realized that a few things were strange. 

"Now that I think about it, maybe this is part of their plans too. They wait for me to lower my surveillance before they start their plan."

Three major incidents happened in just a span of one hour, and they were all part of a major plan. 

(1)The meeting of the Beastmen tribe leaders ended with a bang, literally. Except for the guards, everyone was fine.

(2)The Big Ben of London had a massive bombing, it was fortunate that no one was hurt. Miriam called the authority before the bombs exploded. 

(3)However, she failed to stop the major jailbreak of the Numb Mountain Asylum. Hundreds of most wanted criminals escaped. Most of them had powerful Skills and they were free from prison. 

"They split my attention…"

Miriam found that there were moles in the Beastmen and planted bombs in guards. She texted Mikael and prevented the assassination, but it still took damage to the Beastmen's ego. 

After that, she called trusted Hunters to stop the bombing in London. She prioritized this one because it was associated with civilians. 

As for the Numb Mountain Asylum, she contacted the warden and guards but it was already too late. The prisoners escaped and used a unique teleportation device to escape, perhaps it was an Item. 

Miriam could see everything but it didn't mean that she could stop everything. She was not a God. 

"Great, they know that I can see their movements that's why they created three incidents to shackle me. I bet the Royalties and the criminals of the Numb Mountain Asylum are their true targets."

She protected the Royalties of the Beastmen but she failed to stop the prison break. To be honest, she did her best and prevent major damage. Her actions were tremendous but it did not change the fact that she failed. 

Right now, Miriam was helping the Hunter's Association to track every prisoner who escaped. She clicked her tongue because it was going to take a long time before all of them could return to prison. 

The prisoners were teleported to different places in the world, it would be hectic. But as long as Miriam knew their appearances, she could find them unless they had an Item or Skills that prevented her from tracking them. 

"Apparently, someone changed his appearance to a guard and helped the prisoners to escape. It's unfortunate that I don't have the real image to track him. Maybe he's not even a male."

Miriam had to see the real appearance of the person first to track him. It seemed like the person who helped the prisoners was good at hiding his trails. 

Miriam asked for a maid to bring her tea. She had to stay all night to locate every prisoner. She felt like she was being put into a tight spot because she knew that even if she found all of them it was not guaranteed that they could be taken back to prison. They became most wanted criminals and were put to jail in Numb Mountain Asylum because they have unique Skills. It would be hard to catch all of them. 

"Let's see if I can catch them in a week."

She leaned back to the chair. She wanted to rest because she had arduous exercise yesterday, but it seemed like she won't have sleep. Well, she had potions to keep her night going. 

"Niña disappeared and I can't contact her, I can't find her if she doesn't show herself in the first place. Andromeda successfully awakened her second Skill and she is leveling together with Adalyn and Titania."

Titania swore her loyalty to Andromeda. Her life was saved because of Andromeda so it was reasonable. She promised to protect Andromeda, especially when she realized Andromeda's second Skill. It was an act of God and Titania vowed that she would be her strongest shield. 

The three girls start hunting Dungeons to strengthen their Skills and level up. No one would hunt Andromeda anymore since the Evolution Stone was already consumed. 

"As expected of Spietato, they know how to play with me just like in the past."

Miriam chuckled and started doing her job. 

………
……
…

Few days after the incident. 

"Baby, I cook one of your favorites~ Chicken Adobo."

Kitsune sweetly said and gave Klein a mouthful. Klien opened his mouth and ate it, it was good. 

"This is tasty!" 

Klein smiled and took another mouthful, he looked around trying to find something. 

"So where is the rice?"

"Huh?"

"The rice, you know, the white stuff."

"I- I don't know. I didn't cook it."

Kitsune started fidgeting, her tails were moving awkwardly. 

"Huh? What do you mean you don't have rice? So you want me to eat Adobo without rice? That's abomination!!!"

"I- I'm sorry, please forgive me."

"Kuya, look at this!"

Klein saw that Mikael was walking to the fridge to grab a coke. Furrneka was still sleeping because she was tired and Mikael wanted to have some alone time. He smelled the scent of Adobo and he chuckled.

"Oi, Adobo!"

"What do you think?"

Klein asked and Mikael had a mouthful.

"It tastes good!!"

Mikael almost jumped. 

"Yeah, but it doesn't have rice."

"Atrocious."

Mikael threw the spoon to the floor, this was the most disturbing moment of his life. 

"You can't expect me to eat this shit without rice!!"

Two men almost destroyed the room because they can't find rice...
