The pain twisted the woman’s face into a mask of terror.
“You you are kill someone? she gasped, her voice trembling with agony.

Mia blinked her wide, inocent eyes. She looked so harmless–like a sweet little bunny, incapable of hurting anyone.
“Yep,” she said cheerfully. “And just so you know, I’ve already killed six people. One more won’t matter. You just had the bad hack of beating my child right in front of me. So… you get to die.”
Her voice was light, breezy–like she was discussing the weather.
But the woman, it sounded like the devil whispering in her ear.
She bent over in pain, clutching her stomach, blood pouring from between her fingers.
Jina desperate, cracking voice, she begged, “Please… let me go. My son–he’s only one year old. He’s too young to lose his
mother.”
But Mia didn’t stop. Her knife twisted deeper, mercilessly shredding tissue and muscle.
The woman let out a howl like a wounded animal, the sound raw and inhuman.
“My child’s small too. What’s your point?” Mia said coldly,
“I don’t give a damn about your son. You hurt the one person I care about. That’s a death sentence.”
The woman collapsed to the ground, pleading through tears, barely coherent. “Please don’t kill me–I was wrong–I’ll make it right–I’ll treat her like my own daughter from now on, I swear!”
You just called her Filthy Girl‘ again.
Those two words snapped something in Mia.
She exploded
With a savage jerk, she yanked the knife free, raised it high, and slashed the woman’s throat.
Her body hit the ground like a felled wall. She kicked and clawed, choking on her own blood.
A guttural, gurgling noise filled the air as blood gushed from her neck. Her eyes bulged with desperation, begging for life- In it was already slipping away.
Mu’s blade dripped red under the sun.
She wiped it clean on the woman’s clothes, then turned to face the small child still trembling on the ground, her cheeks streaked with tears.
The moment Mia looked at the girl, all the viciousness drained from her. The rage, the hatred–it vanished in an instant.
What replaced it was warmth. And sorrow.
Her eyes softened. Her voice was gentle as a spring breeze.
“Sweetheart, don’t be scared. No one will ever hurt you again.”
The little girl was frozen, too terrified to speak. Her big, tear–filled eyes stared up at Mia, and her tiny frame trembled.
“Ma’am… who are you?”
Mia reached out and stroked the child’s gaunt little fa
face.

Tears spilled from Mia’s eyes. The corners of her eyes were bright red.

“I’m… your birth mother’s little sister. You can call me Madam.”
“Birth mother?” The girl tilted her head, blinking wide–eyed as she pointed at the dead woman. “She’s not my
Mia nodded. “She’s not your mother. She was a human trafficker.”
mom?”
A spark lit up in the girl’s eyes. The fear vanished. A small, hopeful smile appeared on her blood–splattered face.
“Madam, can you help me find my real mommy? I don’t wanna stay here. They all hate me. They never feed me. I’m so hungry…
At those words. Mia’s tears poured like a flood.
She pulled the child into her arms and held her tight.
This child’s fate… was almost identical to Lauren’s.
If she hadn’t come in time, this little girl would’ve ended up just like Lauren.
The thought made Mia’s whole body tremble.
“Yes, sweetheart. I’m taking you with me. We’re leaving now. I’m getting you out of here.”
She picked the child up and turned to go.
But just then, a man stormed into the yard.
He froze at the sight of the dead woman, then shouted, “Did you kill my wife!”
His eyes locked onto the girl in Mia’s arms, Rage flared.
“Where do you think you’re taking that little brat? You think you can just kill someone and walk away? Not a chance! Somebody help! She’s a murderer!”
The moment the man stepped into view, the child in Mia’s arms began shaking uncontrollably.
