Chapter 277

soup is beckoning at you.”While they conversed, they had already walked out of the airport. As Winnie gazed up at the setting sun in the sky, she couldn’t help exclaiming, “Ah, how beautiful!”I previously miscalculated and thought it’d be noon by the time I arrived back, but I unexpectedly made it in time for dusk. It feels like I haven’t seen the sunset here for an eternity.Wilhelm looked down at her with a helpless smile playing on his lips. “You were the one who was determined to go back to Chanaea. Otherwise, you could’ve stayed by our sides for the rest of your days and watched every sunset here.”Smiling, Winnie tilted her head back and looked at the sky. “The sunset in Chanaea is also exceedingly beautiful and spectacular!”As she spoke, she couldn’t help tarrying a few seconds under the setting sun.I wonder if there’s such lovely scenery outside Xavier’s window. And I wonder where Christopher’s body is right now.In that brief time she spaced out, a dark shadow abruptly loomed before her.Her nerves instinctively stretched taut even as her instincts screamed that someone had placed something on her head. She reflexively thought that danger was imminent.It wasn’t until she jerked her head up that she realized it was actually Wilhelm, placing a hat on her head.Surprise flooded her. “What are you doing? The sun has already set, so it isn’t meant to shield me from the sunlight, right?”“Of course not.” Wilhelm chuckled. “I just feel that your skin is overly fair, which makes you look like a porcelain doll that would shatter at the slightest touch. If there’s a chance, I hope you can get more sun and have a healthy complexion. That would make you look even more appealing.”At his comment, Winnie quirked a brow. “No, thanks. I don’t like tanned skin. So, what’s the use of this hat?”“It’s not just the hat.” While saying that, Wilhelm took out a pair of sunglasses from his pocket and slipped them on her. “You’ve shaken the entire world now. Your trip home this time was sudden, so I don’t want your whereabouts to leak out.”I’ve shaken the entire world? Winnie frowned deeply. “What does that mean?”“Let’s talk in the car. It isn’t quite appropriate to be discussed in the open.” Wrapping an arm around her shoulders, Wilhelm strode forward.Grunting in acquiescence, Winnie quickened her pace alongside the man.Shortly after, the two of them got into the car.There was a divider between the backseat and the driver’s seat, providing excellent privacy.As soon as she got into the car, Winnie took off her sunglasses and pressed Wilhelm for details.Wilhelm explained, “The matter of you blowing up two drug dens in Southeast Aploth has already spread throughout the related circle across the globe. They have also been pretty rampant in Yartran recently. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have needed to entrust you with the mission of destroying Big Black Bear. I really couldn’t spare any manpower over here. Unfortunately, it’s exceedingly difficult to uproot them once and for all. You’ve already snagged some people’s attention, so no one knows what they would do to you. I don’t want your presence here to come to light before I’ve made all the arrangements.” After Winnie listened to everything he said, her brows knitted together deeply. “I see. In that case, have my looks and identity leaked out?”“I’m not sure about that, but I hope not. Before you went to Chanaea, we’ve been keeping your identity under wraps. In fact, you didn’t even leave a single photo in all the years you’ve been in Yartran. But since you went to Chanaea, not only has identity been exposed, but there are also a lot of pictures of you on the internet. And I reckon you probably didn’t create a new identity on purpose when you went over to Jipsdale to execute the mission, yes?” Wilhelm analyzed with a solemn expression.The crease of Winnie’s brows deepened. “No, I
