"You...what did you just say? I seem to have not heard clearly..."

Barely trying to keep herself from showing any gaffe, Hestia folded her hands on her chest, looked back at Jian Yulei who was standing there without saying a word, and said in a trembling tone: "Xiaojian... this kind of thing, Absolutely not funny at all... You must be kidding me, right?"

Staring at Hestia's wavering blue eyes, Jian Yulei took a deep breath, then closed his eyes.

"I'm sorry, Hestia, the children of your family didn't come back, and it's true that Sakura and the others have something to do with it."

"..."

Jian Yulei's light words fell into Hestia's ears, instantly causing all the expressions on her face to collapse.

"Master Shangshen, how did you wake up today..."

Bell's voice came from the church behind him.

"Bell."

Turning around, Hestia looked at the white-haired boy who came out of the church with calm and emotionless eyes.

"Didn't you say last night that Chen Mojun was just practicing leveling in the dungeon all night?"

"Uh……"

Hearing Hestia's inquiry, Bell raised his head, looked past her, saw a few people outside the church, and instantly recognized the girl named Wa Ming who was rescued by Silence yesterday.

No, I can't hide it anymore, Mr. Chen Mo...

Instantly understanding the current situation, Bell had no choice but to shake his head helplessly, telling Hestia everything he knew.

"...So since Miss Ming and your teammates have been rescued, why hasn't Senior come back yet?"

Facing Bell's pure gaze, Ming bit his lip lightly, lowered his head and looked away.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Chen Mo... In order to help us fight for a chance to escape, he stayed alone and died, and he is still trapped in the dungeon until now."

"what?!"

Different from the calmness shown by Hestia, Bell's eyes widened when he heard Ming's words.

"You... how can you leave senior alone in the middle? That kind of place..."

The words he spoke were incoherent, and when Bell thought of Chen Mo being left alone on the middle floor, and hadn't come back since last night, he felt a constriction in his heart, bringing a dull throbbing pain and a sense of suffocation.

And just when Bell felt a little overwhelmed...

"Puff-"

There was a sound of something falling in the church.

Subconsciously turning around following the voice, Bell saw Lily's eyes full of hatred and sadness.

"Bell Clowney! If it weren't for you...if it weren't for you...!"

When his eyes made contact with Lily's fire-breathing eyes, Bell immediately lowered his head in shame, and at the same time felt an indescribable emptiness in his heart, as if something important had been taken away abruptly.

If he was given another chance, he would never let Chen Mo stay in the dungeon alone.

Lowering his head deeply, Bell tried his best to control, not letting the tears in his eyes flow out, while squeezing out a hoarse voice from his throat.

"I'm sorry, Lily..."

"Is it useful to be sorry? Even if you apologize, Mr. Chen Mo won't be able to come back!"

"sorry Sorry……"

Silently listening to the voices of Bell and Lily talking, the conflicts erupting within her family did not change Hestia's eyes at all. She just stared at the three people in front of her.

Under Hestia's silent gaze, Sakura, Ming, and Chikusa all showed shame.

"Hestia, I understand your feelings, and the children of your family are also in danger to save Sakura, but..."

"Xiaojian."

The cold blue color in Hestia's eyes made Jian Yulei stop in the middle of her sentence, and then she heard her continue: "If Chen Mojun dies because of this incident, I will never forgive you."

Without pursuing the responsibility of the three of Sakura, Hestia directly released malice towards Jian Yulei.

Jian Yulei indeed has an unshirkable responsibility for allowing children who are not strong enough to enter the middle class, but an accident happened and outsiders were implicated as a result.

Therefore, facing the cold-faced Hestia, Jian Yulei did not defend himself, and silently endured the other party's resentment.

Glancing lightly at Jian Yulei, who voluntarily accepted the punishment, Hestia turned to the three of Sakura.

"Although you are indeed at fault in this matter, since Chen Mojun is willing to go to the middle level to save you, it means that he is definitely ready to pay the price, so I won't hold any grudges against you..."

The three of Sakura lowered their heads, but the expected scolding did not come, instead they heard the voice of Hestia and Zhongzheng.

"So, now can I ask you to help me rescue Chen Mojun?"

Looking up, what I saw was a pair of blue eyes full of tenderness and compassion.

Behind the petite Hestia, the sacred and solemn church shines brightly in the morning light.

In an instant, an indescribably powerful emotion slammed into the hearts of the three of Sakura.

"Be careful and obey!"

The three members of Jian Yulei's family all knelt down on one knee and bowed their heads in unison.
