Truth and Lies Intertwined

Chapter 14: ‘I’m a Child’



Arya watched Miro's action from the beginning to the end. 

She simply submitted the simple report of his action and then gave the evaluation at the end, "Not stupid."

At least, he didn't try to be brave and challenged the people on the wall. Instead, he sneaked out and wiped all of his traces. After making sure that Miro escaped, Arya also made her way out and wiped all traces of her coming here. 

On the other hand, Miro looked at the message that he received and heaved a sigh of relief. 

He passed this one test.

'How many more tests do I have to face next?' 

For the next month, Arya and Miro got various kinds of missions. She will collect information and Miro would be the one to kill him through various methods.

Either killing him directly in front of the other party, poison, and even sniping.

Arya silently felt that Miro might be an all rounder.

And thinking about his method of obtaining information before, it seemed that her existence was redundant?

Her information could only be said to be confirmation of his own investigation. 

So when Arya met with Aries again, she complained about this matter. 

"Pfft, you think that your existence is useless?" Aries couldn't help but laughing when she heard Arya's words. 

"Yes, I deeply feel that I can't help him much." Arya shrugged her shoulders. "Besides, why are you sending me to do these missions that didn't really need me to step forward? In all of these missions, I was specifically asked to play the supporting role."

It was not that easy for her to pretend to be a waiter or anything like that in these places. After all, she had already established her image as a rich young lady as the adopted daughter of Sarah Kenner. 

It was not impossible for Arya to use hypnosis to make a lot of people forget her appearance…

But it would be too tiring.

And hundreds of people losing their memory at the same time… it was estimated that there would be people investigating this matter the next day. So Arya only set this restriction on people from the organization who knew her identity. 

Only in this way would it be possible for her to live freely. 

Well, technically.

"It's not my order." Aries smiled and then looked at the distance. "But since you have been doing mission very well lately, there's indeed a new special mission for you to do."

"Yes?" Arya looked at Aries curiously.

The two of them were in dessert shop right now, a perfect place for Arya due to her young age. 

Even though Aries didn't really like it, but she couldn't possibly bring Arya to a bar. The first thing that Arya did would definitely to complain about the place they selected. 

"A researcher recently leaked out the information," Aries said and her eyes looked cold. "Your mission is to pry open his mouth and tell us who instigated him or who his partner is."

Arya arched her eyebrows.

From the moment she chose to pick this hypnosis path, she should have expected that she would have to play with other people's mind.

This is a path that was equally bad because it could also kill people.

But…

This is better in Arya's opinion because she didn't have to watch people die directly in front of her eyes.

Though, three years was more than enough to let her feel numb. 

"Got it," Arya replied. "Tell me the time and location."

"I know I could rely on you, Scorpio~." Aries chuckled and then looked at the drink in front of her. "Also, can I ask you whether you have tampered with my memory?"

"Aside from making you forget about my appearance?" Arya asked back and then shook her head. "No, I'm too lazy to do that kind of thing."

While it could help her to advance faster should she change some people's memory, but Arya knew that it might leave traces. And she didn't want to do anything outrageous that could possibly destroy the balance. 

If she were to use her real ability, it was indeed possible.

But she was not impatient.

Because Arya knew that her enemies might not be so simple. 

"That's good, then." Aries smiled and then sipped the milk tea in her hand before frowning. "I can't understand how you like these things."

Arya was silent as she continued to drink the sweet milk in her hand.

Her expression was clearly saying, 'I'm a child.'
