Chapter 1248: The Dwarf Was Almost Sent to an Orphanage

He still wanted to pretend he didn't understand and continue walking forward.

But the airport staff member was relentless, following behind him and chattering patiently: "Little one, stop."

"Little one, don't walk away. Rest assured, we aren't bad people; we are good people."

"Can you understand what I'm saying?"

The dwarf was annoyed to death inside.

He thought to himself, why are the staff at Jiangzhou Airport so annoying?

Meddling in other people's business—is there no end to it?

It would have been fine to just ignore him and let him walk away, but he actually chased after him.

Seeing the child ignore him and walk even faster, the staff member assumed he didn't understand, so he switched to English and asked again!

The dwarf still ignored him.

The staff member did not give up; not only in the Jiangzhou dialect and English, but he also asked in several other major languages one by one.

What is he showing off?

He grumbled in his heart: Showing off how many languages you know?

If you're so capable, what's the point of being a small Security Guard at the airport? You should go be a translator instead.

Whether the staff member wanted to show off his knowledge or not, he certainly attracted quite a few people.

The dwarf soon discovered that a warm heart knows no borders!

People of all races and speaking all kinds of languages gathered around.

Since he wouldn't answer, people surrounded him and then translated the airport staff member's words into various languages.

With so many people, he couldn't leave even if he wanted to.

The dwarf had no choice but to speak: "Move aside, don't meddle in other people's business."

"This child can talk?"

He could not only talk, but he could also speak very fluent Jiangzhou dialect.

"So you can talk?" The staff member grabbed him to keep him from leaving and repeated the words he had already heard and said many times: "Little one, why are you alone? Where are your mom and dad?"

"I don't have a mom or dad."

"Then who brought you here?" The area he was responsible for handled international flights, and there were no nearby places; for a seven or eight-year-old child to fly alone without anyone to pick him up, given his spirit of being serious and responsible toward every passenger at the airport, he had to get to the bottom of it.

"I came by plane by myself."

"You came from L Country to Jiangzhou alone? Such a long journey and no one is picking you up?"

What is this about?

The dwarf became vigilant, very afraid that his purpose would be discovered by others.

Of course, he couldn't tell the truth, so he made up a reason: "No one is picking me up, I'm an orphan."

"Oh."

"How pitiful."

"This child is so cute, yet he's an orphan."

"Little one, where are your mom and dad, where is the rest of your family, how did you become an orphan?"

He said: "My mom and dad died, everyone else in my family died, and all our money was robbed. I used the last of my money to buy a plane ticket to Jiangzhou. I heard it's very safe here and I can survive."

As he spoke, large tears rolled from the corners of his eyes, his mouth pouted, and he looked incredibly aggrieved.

The dwarf was skilled at pretending to be a child to win sympathy and make people let their guard down; once he got used to it, he had his own set pattern, and once a pattern is formed, it is not easy to change.

For example, right now.

This story was indeed incredibly sympathetic.

The staff member asked: "Where are you going? Who will take care of you in the future?"

He didn't think much and blurted out: "I can beg, perform, and I can wash dishes and pots—I can do anything. I can support myself."

"Then where will you sleep at night?"

"Under a bridge, in a park, at someone else's front door; the world is vast, there's always a place for me to sleep."

He finished speaking and waited.

Waiting for people to give alms.

He had encountered such situations in other countries before; there would always be kind-hearted people who would give a piece of bread, milk, or some pocket change, and then people would disperse.

However, this situation did not happen in Jiangzhou!

The airport staff member said to everyone: "Disperse, everyone disperse."

He held the dwarf's hand, took him to the office, and brought hot food and dishes from the Cafeteria for him to eat; after he finished, he let him rest in the office.

During this time, the staff member had not been idle.

He was on the phone, constantly contacting people!

He spoke in a local dialect, very quickly, and the dwarf couldn't hear it very clearly, but he could vaguely distinguish that it had to do with him!

What does he want to do?

It shouldn't be that he saw through his identity.

He was burning with anxiety and really wanted to escape, but every time he tried to leave, he would be discovered and couldn't get out.

Before long, a few people entered from outside.

The newcomers introduced themselves as people from an orphanage, intending to take him away!

Only then did the airport staff member reveal a smile, affectionately patting his head: "Little one, don't worry, in our Jiangzhou orphanage, we have everything. You will receive care like a mother's, and you will have school to attend."

"I'm not going. I'm used to being on my own; I don't need you to manage me!" The dwarf tried to break free; he wanted to escape.

But the frustrating thing was, although he could take on several people by himself, he now had to pretend to be a child and could not expose his martial arts, or even his strength.

He had not forgotten why he had come.

He was a top-tier assassin, yet now he was being sent to an orphanage; this was simply a massive humiliation.

But the humiliation continued.

"Little one, don't be afraid. Our Jiangzhou Orphanage is different from orphanages in other places. Our environment here is very good; it is definitely better than wandering outside."

Several adults pulling one "child"—barring any accidents, they would certainly be able to hold onto him.

The dwarf dared not let an accident happen either, so he was restrained.

He wailed loudly.

But crying was useless.

People coaxed him and persuaded him, but they simply would not let him go.

The dwarf finally had no other choice, so he simply lay on the ground, throwing a tantrum: "I won't go, I won't go! Orphanages all over the world are not good places. You are all black-hearted things. I will be sold to organ traffickers; I am about to die soon..."

His threats had no effect whatsoever.

These people were exceptionally patient in comforting him, presenting facts and reasoning; they did not care even when he insulted them.

In the end, they even offered to take him to the orphanage to see the environment, teachers, and companions, explaining that if he didn't like it, he could go to the Welfare Institute or even the police station.

In short, they just could not let a child like him wander the streets; and that wasn't all, these meddlesome people even asked him where his ancestral home was in L Country.

How did a child like him manage to board a plane to Jiangzhou without complete identification documents?

He:...

No, he had to leave here immediately.

If he waited any longer, his ancestors for eighteen generations would be dug up.

He pretended to agree to go to the orphanage, but when the car was halfway there, the dwarf clutched his stomach and shouted that it hurt, demanding to go to the restroom.

There happened to be a public restroom not far from the side of the road, so they stopped the car to let him out.

The people in the car waited for over ten minutes, but they still didn't see anyone come out, so they were afraid something had happened and went over to check.

"Knock, knock, knock."

"Hey! Kid, are you alright?"

There was no sound inside.

The person from the orphanage gave it a light pull, and the door opened.

There was no one inside, but the window above the toilet was open...
