chapter-555
The muscled man described the whole thing. "We had a disciple who betrayed us and sold our secret to the other people. Though we killed the traitor but the work is already done. Mafias from different counties, started to look for the treasure. Without the key they can't find it so you the key keeper took the key and hid it somewhere even we don't know where. We wish to take it from you, that way you will be safe. But the thing is, you don't have your memory."
"Is the situation that bad?" Mu Lan asked while frowning.
"Yes, the Mu boys know about it. They didn't tell you anything since they had no clue about what the gold key is. And even if they tell you, you couldn't help them with information anyway. So ultimately, they didn't want to worry you unnecessarily." The muscled man said.
She asked after thinking a while. "When did I hide it? Do you have any clue?"
"You simply vanished from South America. We found you three days later in Africa." The skinny man replied."….And how did I end up there without anyone's help? What about money and passport?" Mu Lan asked.
"As a member of The Cobra, did you think you need that to go anywhere?" Mark sighed. He was utterly disappointed at her thinking of The Cobra so simple as if it was nothing.
"Don't tell me I have teleportation power?" Mu Lan's eyes glittered. If she had it she would try it immediately.
Someone knocked her head and said, "No, you silly. You have the power of the wind."
Mu Lan turned her head and saw a bulky man with beard. Since he was facing the moon, Mu Lan could see his clearly.
"So, I flew there! That's so cool! I'm so amazing!" Mu Lan got even more excited.
The cold wind blew and teased her. She shivered in cold.The bulky man and others sighed.
"She turned into an idiot after she went to China. I knew it wouldn't be good for her but no one listened to me. Now look!" Another man said regretfully. He had a short beard.
The muscled man said, "Little one, you don't have that type power. You build a boat and sailed alone. With the help of the wind, you went to another continental in one day."
Mu Lan was slightly disappointed; however, she was still shocked knowing that she had such power. And moreover, she built a boat by herself!
"How old was I?" She asked.
"You were twelve back then, brat." The bulky man grilled her head.
"Ow! Ow! That hurts!" Mu Lan cried out.
"Oh, I forgot that you hurt your head in Milan. Tsk. Such a weakling! There was a time when we killed two hippopotamuses together. And look at you now, turned into a normal human being." The bulky man grudgingly said.
"Well thanks for the complement." Mu Lan was also pissed.
What did they take her for? She had been away from them bad was acting as a human and also lost her memory and so many things happened. How was she supposed to have that inhuman power when she was suffering from some physical issues and had no idea who is was?
Seeing Mu Lan pouting, the muscled man laughed. He rubbed her head with adoration. "It's fine, dear one. When you regain your memory, everything will be alright then. Now, I don't think it is possible for you to do it since you don't remember how to do it."
Mu Lan nodded. "I understand…. About the gold key, should I talk to them or do you want to keep your identity secret?"
'Them' was meant to be Mu brothers. And she thought that since they came here secretly to meet her, it must be because they wanted to keep their identity secret.
The muscled man smirked and said, "Don't worry about it. They cannot do anything even if they know about the truth. This is the business of The Cobra. There is no point of tagging the outsiders."
"I understand." Mu Lan nodded in response. She didn't feel bad when he called Mu Liang outsiders.
It was logical. No one would want to drag others in their personal problem since the situation was unusually problematic from the first place. Moreover, Mu brothers didn't know the enemy that well. They had no idea how to deal with them. And it wouldn't be good for them to interfere other's personal business.
As long as Mu Lan wouldn't directly involved herself, Mu Liang wouldn't get involved either. To him, all that matter was Mu Lan. She was his bottom line.
Suddenly the beard man asked, "There are some guests in the castle, right?"
"Yes, two of them. Why do you ask?" Mu Lan was curious. 'Why this sudden change of subject?' She wondered.
"When will they leave?" The skinny man asked.
Mu Lan answered, "Probably the next weekend."
Mark instructed her, "Stay away from them. Don't show yourself to them. Keep a low profile."
Mu Lan frowned. "That's not possible. We are holding a party and I have to be present as a Madam Mu."
The muscled man deeply looked at her and asked, "Are you sure you want to be tied down with the responsibility of Madam Mu till the end of your life?"
"Why are you asking this?" Mu Lan was perplexed.
He rubbed her head and said, "Nothing, I just wanted to ask. As long as you like it, you can do whatever you want." He glanced at the moon and said, "We must leave." After he gazed at her and said, "Have a glass of warm milk when you go inside. You are freezing."
After he said that, then she realized that she was indeed cold. She nodded and got up with his help. "Thanks for meeting me. And I will try to avoid the guests as you said. But you didn't tell me the reason."
