Becoming the Villain’s Family - Chapter 326
Chapter 326
He had to immediately erase all traces of his son and the Tartan Slavery from Elaina’s memory and ship her overseas.
“Tsk, if she dies, it can’t be helped.”
A corpse would still be of some use.
Chrono clicked his tongue, snatching a bottle of medicine as he approached.
Elaina stumbled backward and desperately fled.
But she was quickly caught by his minions.
“Hold her properly.”
“No!”
Elaina clamped her mouth shut and thrashed about.
However, a ten-year-old had no chance against adults; she was utterly powerless.
She struggled for a long time, but could not break free from the grip of the burly figures binding her from both sides.
‘No! I don’t want to lose my memory!’
Elaina knew how sad it was to lose one’s memory.
She had vividly read Lloyd’s emotions when he had lost his.
For her short life, it was an unbearably painful torture, the kind that would make her burst into loud cries.
Was she now going to be the same?
The thought of forgetting everything she had ever loved was terrifying and dreadful.
Tears streamed down Elaina’s face as she saw the hand coming towards her, and she clenched her eyes shut and screamed.
“NOOOO!!!”
At that moment, something explosive seemed to burst within her, a sensation as if something tightly blocked had been released.
Elaina took a deep breath.
“Huuh, hoh…”
At the same time as the energy dissipated, her body lost all its strength.
What’s this?
Without even realizing it, she flopped on the floor.
The hands of the men with the ferocious impression who were tightly binding the child on both sides were released.
Elaina hurriedly wiped away the tears that covered her eyes with her free fists.
“Oh, ooh…….”
The men, who were looking down at his hand muttering stupidly. They faltered and backed away as soon as Elaina’s gaze met theirs.
It was because it felt like they had to.
As if they were being ordered to let go by their employer.
Chrono, who was acting as if he was going to force the medicine right away, couldn’t get any closer.
“What’s this…….”
He tried to move his frozen legs. But for some reason, it felt as if his feet were glued to the floor and couldn’t move at all.
After struggling for a while, he froze with a confused face.
‘Binding magic?’
Was the kid magically talented?
‘Damn it, even those with magical talent can unconsciously manifest magic before awakening.’
Feeling trapped, he commanded the shaman in the room.
“Release it, now.”
“I, I can’t do that.”
“What do you mean you can’t? Are you telling me you can’t counteract this blind magic with a spell?”
Chrono gritted his teeth in anger.
He threatened to not let the shaman live if he couldn’t handle even this task despite getting paid every month.
But regardless of Chrono’s threats, the shaman looked terrified at the sight of Elaina. He seemed even more petrified himself, as if he had seen a ghost.
“No. This isn’t like any magic. I don’t feel any mana at all.”
The shaman spoke in a trembling voice. He stood as if he was in the middle of a minefield, sweating profusely and unable to move.
“Then what is it?”
“I…I don’t know. It’s a type of energy I’ve never felt before… well, maybe once vaguely, but this…no way. Damn it!”
Mumbling as if he had lost his mind, the shaman slowly backed away and then suddenly bolted, kicking the door open and fleeing.
Bang! Thud, thud—
“….”
“….”
Silence fell as the door slammed against the wall and rattled.
He had hired such a fool?
Chrono was furious. He vowed to kill the shaman if he ever got him back in his grasp.
‘How did he even manage to escape?’
He shuffled his feet. While he couldn’t move any closer to Elaina, he found he could easily step backward as usual. It was then he realized it wasn’t a binding force at all.
‘It wasn’t forcibly restraining me.’
What could explain this phenomenon?
Surprisingly, it seemed he couldn’t approach where she didn’t want to. It was likely because the child had loudly yelled ‘No!’
“You… what have you done?”
What has she done?
Elaina blinked in confusion.
‘Because of me, those bad guys are like that? How?’
She quickly shook off the fear of losing her memory and being isolated.
Seeing the bad men who had been threatening with their large size unable to come any closer, she began to feel a bit braver.
“NOOOO!!!”
Elaina screamed, recalling the sense she had unintentionally expressed in her voice, and raised her finger.
“Go dere.”
“…”
“…”
But nothing happened.
“…?”
Why didn’t it work this time?
Elaina tilted her head in confusion and tried again. She had said no and it took effect…
“You you, I don’t wike you. Go.”
Once again, strength poured out of her as if a tap had been turned on.
“Uuhh….”
The child collapsed to the floor, feeling dizzy.
When she barely managed to lift her head, she found that Chrono, Brian, and everyone else were stuck to the wall like squashed bugs.
“Damn it!”
Chrono cursed as he futilely tried to push off the wall, but to no avail.
Even the mercenaries hired for their strength couldn’t move, they were like pinned insects on display.
He should have run when he had the chance.
“Ah, Father, what do we do?”
