"Yes, yes, Jessica, I formally invite you to the children's party today. Father will prepare so many delicious things for us." Amy nodded along with the ugly duckling in her arms, looking at Jesse expectantly. Ka said: "Hurry up and take a look at the gift. I think you will like it."
"Are you going to the party?" Jessica's eyes lit up, and she looked at the dark bag in her hand with curiosity and expectation. She looked up at Rebecca and asked, "Mom, can I open it?"
"Of course." Rebecca looked at her encouragingly.
Jessica held the bag in both hands and walked to the bed, then carefully opened the small bow tied by Amy on the bag, poured it down gently, and a small beige skirt fell out of the bag and was embroidered on the chest. Holding a colorful butterfly, it spreads its wings as if it is about to fly to the sky.
"Wow! What a beautiful skirt!" Jessica looked at the little skirt on the bed, her mouth wide open, and stayed for a while before turning around and hugging Amy.
"Jessica, do you like it?" Amy asked a little nervously.
"Yeah, I like it so much! I have my own little skirt, and it's the most beautiful yellow color, Amy, thank you!" Jessica nodded, hugging Amy tightly, her eyes filled with tears. Tears came.
Rebecca turned away, wiped the corners of her eyes, raised her head and blinked.
"Then...can you let me go first? The ugly duckling seems to be dying..." Amy whispered.
"Meow~" The ugly duckling made a desperate sound.
"Sorry ugly duckling, I forgot you were here." Jessica took a step back and rubbed the ugly duckling's head apologetically.
"It's okay, its head is very strong." Amy said nonchalantly.
"Meow meow~" The ugly duckling glanced at Amy with some resentment, obviously it was me who almost died.
"Then I'll wear this dress to the party at noon today. It's so beautiful. I've never received such a beautiful gift." Jessica looked at Amy and said happily.
"Okay, okay, you can also wear that beautiful little butterfly hairpin, it must look great." Amy nodded.
Mag watched the two little girls discussing clothes and the delicious food they could eat for a while. A smile appeared on his face, and the dullness in his heart was also dispelled. As expected, as long as he is around his girl, his mood will slow down. Get better slowly.
After playing for a while, Mag looked at the time and should go back to prepare for the party, so he took Amy to say goodbye.
"I really don't know how to thank you." Rebecca stood at the door and looked at Mag with gratitude.
"Then let Jessica play with Amy more. On her days off, she also wants to find a partner to play with." Mag said with a smile, let Amy say goodbye to Jessica, and then pushed the bicycle Slowly walked out of the alley.
The work at the Gray Temple and the City Lord's Mansion is still going on, but the corpses and blood have almost been cleaned up. The black-red water in several puddles shows what happened here, but I don't know if the old man who was killed will. Get the burial you deserve.
Those who were eating bread and finally had some life on their faces looked at Mag and Amy gratefully. Although they did not speak, their gratitude was written on their faces.
"Father, they all seem to be very grateful to you." Amy said with a smile after exiting the alleyway full of potholes.
"Half of us are grateful to Xiaomi. If Xiaomi hadn't wanted to invite little Jessica, we wouldn't have come here." Mag said with a smile, got on the bicycle, and drove Amy towards the restaurant.
The autumn breeze is still pleasant, and the autumn sunshine is still warm on the body. I hope it can also warm the hearts of those people.
…
The atmosphere in the meeting room of the City Lord's Mansion was extremely cold.
The expressions on the faces of the officials from the City Lord's Mansion present varied, including anger, worry, and fear.
Bradley put down the paper in his hand and stood without sitting down, his eyes were a little red.
Michael sat at the head of the table, with a solemn and cold expression on his face.
"From now on, Alva will be dismissed from his post for investigation, all information in the Logistics Department will be sealed, and the matter of withholding the miners' pensions will be thoroughly investigated."
"Stop the news and ask the Gray Temple to assist in investigating all the governor's offices in the City of Chaos. Those who use the law as a protective umbrella, oppress the civilians, and commit illegal acts will be severely investigated and severely punished!"
"Increase the pension standards for the families of miners and soldiers who died, and set up a department specifically to manage this matter. Don't let the same thing happen again and chill the hearts of the survivors!"
"I emphasize again that the laws of the City of Chaos are set up to allow everyone to live freer and safer. If anyone dares to use him to oppress civilians and obtain benefits, I will make him pay a greater penalty than death. The price, no matter who.”
Michael's sharp eyes like an eagle scanned every official present, and he said in a cold voice.
A tall, fat official sitting nearby turned pale in an instant and slid directly from his chair to the ground. No one around him dared to help him.
"City Lord, I will report this matter immediately!" Brandley said respectfully and left quickly.
"If lawful people sit at the same table as destroyers, those who are so-called protected people will suffer. This sentence was said to me by Novan when he refused to enter the city lord's palace. I didn't understand it at first. The meaning of the sentence, now I suddenly understand, the most powerful destruction starts from the inside." Michael glanced at Alva and smiled somewhat self-deprecatingly.
…
"Father, can I invite Sister Xixi and Big Bear for the last time?" When Mag was riding her bike and taking Amy home, Amy looked at the magic potion shop and asked.
"Of course, but I don't know if they are free to come over." Mag stopped the car and said with a smile.
"Let me go and ask." Amy climbed out of the car, said hello to Hei Tan and Mung Bean, and then walked towards the magic potion shop with her short legs.
"Stupid fat cat, are you carsick again? Look at the way you are lying on your back, you are so stupid, hahaha..." Hei Tan poked his head and looked at the ugly duckling lying on his back in the car basket with dizzy eyes. scoffed.
"Meow!" The ugly duckling raised his head and called at Hei Tan, but as soon as he got up and stretched out his little paws, his body fell backwards uncontrollably, with his legs in the air, looking up at the sky with a look of despair. Here came another round of ridicule from Hei Tan, which even made Mag laugh.
"Invite me to the party?" Xixi, who was holding two magic potion bottles in the shop, looked at Amy and said with surprise.
"Yes, you can also come with Big Bear. Father will prepare a lot of delicious food." Amy nodded, paused, stretched out a little finger and said, "There will also be your favorite food." Braised chicken.”
"Then I want to go!" Xixi's eyes lit up and she immediately raised her hand, but soon slowly put her hand down and said with some hesitation: "But Mr. Julian went out this morning, and there is no one in the store to watch. .”
"Then close the door. No customers will come if the door is open anyway." Amy said matter-of-factly.
