Chapter 2032
However, Nanako did not deny it immediately nor ran away on the spot. Instead, she put her hands
in front o f her body and bowed deeply. "I understand, Eminent Father!" 4
Yahiko smiled graciously and said, "I''m too old to stand the freezing wind. I''ll go back to rest first.
Don''t stay up toote."
Nanako hurriedly said, "Let me send you into the room, Eminent Father!"
Yahiko waved his hand. "Never mind. Since you like pondering, I’ll let you ponder for a while
longer." 2
With that, he made a half turn while controlling his electric wheelchair and slowly went back to his
room. 1
Nanako watched her father disappear at the end of the corridor. As she still felt the flushing burn on
her face, she gently ced her hands on the thick snow and then ced them on her face.
The cold hands brought down the temperature of her cheeks and also made her heart gradually
return to tranquility. 1
A momentter, she once again stretched out her hand and used her fingers to write some beautiful
words on the thick snow: "Charlie Wade". 1
Then, cupping her chin with her hands, she watched
the snowkes fall on top of the words until they became blurred and finally disappeared.
Only at this moment did she slowly stand up and go back to her room.
Meanwhile, at Osaka, which was only a dozen kilometers away from Kyoto. 2
An one-armed woman, led by several Japanese Self-Defense Force soldiers, arrived at the Self-
Defense Force garrison in Osaka. 2
Property ? of N?velDrama.Org.
The one-armed woman was none other than Yashita, Rosalie’s biological mother as well as the first
daughter of the Harker family, one of the four major ancient martial arts families in Oskia. 2
Since the time difference in Japan was one hour faster than in Oskia, it was already 10 pm in Osaka
at this moment.
Under the escort of the soldiers, Yashita passed through a strict security checkpoint before finally
entering the garrison.
The soldier then led her, and took a high-speed elevator all the way down from inside a building.
The elevator stopped at a depth of 50 meters underground.
This was where the Osaka Self-Defense Force''s triple defense underground base was located.
The triple defense, for civilian use, referred to waterproof, dustproof, and shock-resistant.
For the military, the triple defense referred to the resistance against nuclear, biological, and
chemical weapons. 1
Therefore, this triple defense base was the area with tightest defense by the Self-Defense Force in
Osaka.
Now, this triple defense base was put to other use: to imprison all of the 50 or so martial artists of
the Schulz family, including Rosalie. It was heavily guarded here, so it could effectively prevent
them from escaping. 1
After Yashita was brought in, she was led into a closed room.
The iron door of this room, which was 20 centimeters thick, was much stronger and solid than a
bank vault. 2
After she sat down in the room, a Japanese soldier reminded her in a low voice, "My men will bring
her here in a moment. You only have five minutes."
Yashita nodded hastily and said in a serious tone, " Thank you!" 2
Without another word, the soldier turned and left the room. One minuteter, a young woman with
metal shackles on her hands and feet, led by two soldiers, walked in. 5
There was a dash of gloom on her face and her gazes were icy cold. 2
However, after entering the room, her cold eyes widened immediately in astonishment, followed by
two lines of warm tears, drenching her cheeks. 1
She looked at Yashita, who was also silently weeping i n front of her, and shouted while sobbing,
"Mom..."
Yashita hurried forward and single-handedly held her in her embrace. While gently stroking the back
of her head, she said with tender love, "Rosalie, you have suffered..."
