"Danielle, don’t be afraid. When the snakese, I’ll hold them off, and you quickly run out of the vige. There might be venomous snakes. I can’t let you get hurt." It was as if Xavier had made an important decision as he spoke to his sister with righteous indignation.
As the rhythm of the flute rose and fell, the snakes slithered faster and faster.
Danielle had recognized snake charming from the moment the young man began ying the flute. She fiddled with the medicinal powder in her bag. Now she was ready to use the powder. After that, she and Xavier could leave this ce safely.
"Xavier, we’ll be fine."
The den of snakes had already moved into the courtyard, bypassing the vigers, and began to crawl toward the roof.
"Haha! Chief, the people who were eavesdropping on us must be on the roof. Look, all these snakes are crawling toward the roof. Charly, your snake-controlling skills are getting better and better." A viger pointed at the den of snakes andughed.
As Xavier looked down at the reptiles, his scalp tingled, and the hair on his body stood on end.
Since the vigers already knew their hiding ce, Danielle immediately stood up and sprinkled the medicinal powder she had just concocted around her and Xavier.
Several snakes had already climbed onto the roof, hissing and spitting at Xavier and Danielle.
However, the snakes seemed to be afraid of the medicinal powder that Danielle had sprinkled, and they all stopped moving.
The vigers in the courtyard recognized Xavier and Danielle on the roof. "Why are you still here? Didn’t you leave earlier on? Why did you show up in our vigete at night and eavesdrop on our conversation?"
"We didn’t mean to eavesdrop on you. We really mean no harm bying to the vige. We are here to find my brother, Matthew. He is awyer. We haven’t been able to reach him, so we came here to look for clues at night."
Holding the medicinal powder in her hand, Danielle looked at the snakes in front of her vigntly, trying again tomunicate with the vigers.
"Yes, yes, we are really here to find Matthew. A while ago, he took on a case, which involves your vige. After that, we couldn’t reach him."
Xavier was trembling all over, his hands clenched into fists to suppress his fear of the snakes.
Right now, these snakes didn’t attack them because of the effect of the powder and the young man had stopped ying the flute. Now, Xavier and Danielle could only have a good talk with the vigers. It would be even better if they knew Matthew’s whereabouts.
"Why do you want to upy our vige?" Orion looked at the siblings and asked slowly.
"Chief, we are not who you think we are. We are just here to find our brother. That’s all. If you don’t want to move out of this vige, I can help you. But I hope you can help me find Matthew," Danielle spoke calmly as she looked at Orion with her clear eyes.
Orion’s cloudy eyes lit up, "Are you really not with that group of people?"
Danielle knew something was going on when she heard this. These vigers were so hostile to them during the day because they must have thought Danielle and her family were in cahoots with that group of people. "No, we have no dealings with them. If you need our help, I can help you, as long as you help me find Matthew."
"Youngdy, I believe youe from a rich family but don’t make empty promises because thatpany is very powerful."
Families had lived in this vige for generations. Naturally, they did not want to leave, but the vigers were weak. There was no way to fight againstrgepanies.
"I know thepany you are talking about. Don’t worry. I, Danielle Darling, will keep whatever promises I make today," Danielle assured Orion calmly.
"What guarantee can you give us? What if we let you go and you join hands with that bigpany to deal with us?" Orion questioned.
"You must know where Matthew is. He’s in your hands, and you still can’t trust me? I’ll go talk to the people from thatpany tomorrow and settle your problem. Just give Matthew back to me."
