That night, many didn’t sleep in Chaos City.

  The powerful magic casters were wandering around the slums and lanes at the north of the city. They were scanning the surroundings at the full expense of their spiritual powers. Many courtyards with high walls were barged into, and human traffickers who were deep in their slumber were taken away. The abducted children were brought to the city lord’s castle.

  The city lord’s castle was brightly lit through the entire night. The children’s cries were pacified gradually. The healing magic casters had tears in their eyes, and some even ran out to brawl their eyes out before going back to continue healing the children……

  It was almost dawn when the tired-looking chief secretary came into the meeting room with a document folder. Facing Michael, who also didn’t sleep the entire night, he said, “My Lord, the cross search was fully completed with the coordination of the Gray Temple and the city lord’s castle. After deducting the 150 human traffickers who were killed by the man in black on the spot and the 342 children that he rescued, the following search resulted in apprehending 52 human traffickers and rescuing 61 abducted children. The children are all accepting healing right now. The healing magic casters have all done their very best to help their children regain their health, but there are still 120 children who will remain handicapped for the rest of their lives.”


  Michael received the document and read through it carefully with a somber expression. He nodded. “The search will carry on in secret. Continue to monitor and investigate suspicious people and locations. Make sure we don’t miss out on anything.

  “Organize the children’s information and release it to the public as soon as possible. Find their parents for them and send them back home. The city lord’s castle will set up a special fund to raise those children nobody claims. They will be properly educated, and when they grow up, they will have the skills to make a living for themselves.

  “At the same time, we have to improve the emergency response mechanism for missing children. Once we receive a case of missing children, the city lord’s castle and Gray Temple must respond actively and plan necessary deployment to find the children as soon as possible.

  “And arrange a meeting with Rolan for me. With regard to human traffickers’ penalties, I feel there is a need to introduce a law amendment in Chaos City. I need to discuss it with him.”


  “Yes.” The chief secretary jotted down everything rapidly in his personal notebook. He paused, and asked Michael, “A law amendment would require both the city lord’s castle and Gray Temple to vote. May I ask how much you think the punishment should be increased?”


  “They don’t even spare the innocent children. Death penalty is the minimum,” Michael said solemnly.

  “Yes.” The chief secretary nodded.

  “Oh, yes. Didn’t Boss Mag help an old man find his child who was kidnapped by human traffickers 25 years ago yesterday?” Michael said suddenly.

  “Yes. You had agreed to put up the missing-person notice on the notice boards earlier. Mr Mag had come to the city lord’s castle again yesterday to notify us that the old man had already found his child. Therefore, we had removed the missing-person notice and released a new notice.” The chief secretary nodded.

  Michael nodded thoughtfully. “Add in Mamy Restaurant into my schedule. I am going to see Boss Mag.”
……

  The citizens of Chaos City discovered in shock that all the little beggars, who were alway begging on the streets, had disappeared in one night.

  This made those people who always gave to those children worried. They wondered if the poor children were frozen to death as the nights were starting to get colder……

  Mag went to the little bed with a smile, and gently said, “Little Amy, time to rise and shine. Wash and eat your breakfast, or else you will be late for class.”


  Amy shook her head with her eyes closed, and said, “Hmm~ Your little Amy is not awake.”


  “Then what shall I do?”


  “Your little Amy says you have to kiss and hug her. And raise her above your head before she will wake up,” Amy said with a naughty smile.

  “Alright then.” Mag smiled helplessly as he bent over and kissed Amy lightly on her forehead.

  “Your little cutie is already online.” Amy flicked open her eyes and stretched out her arms at Mag as she poutingly said, “I want you to hug and raise me above your head.”


  “Alright,” Mag said indulgently with a smile. Then, he carried Amy up, raised her above his head, and gently lowered her down. He repeated the moves a few times.

  “I’m flying! I’m flying~”


  Amy’s crystal clear giggles filled the room.

  “Meow~”


  Ugly Duckling, which was at the foot of the bed, was staring thoughtfully. It lay back on the ground, closed its eyes, and stretched out its two little paws.

  Mag only lowered Amy after she had enough fun. Then, he took out the clothes that she was supposed to wear today.

  Amy sat on the bed and trod on Ugly Duckling’s belly gently as she said, “Don’t play dead, Ugly Duckling, Get up now.”


  “Meow, meow.”


  Ugly Duckling twisted around with its eyes closed, seeking her favor.

  “Don’t you know what you look like?” Amy retrieved her little foot.

  Ugly Duckling opened its eyes and gave Amy a gloomy glance before standing up and rubbing against Amy’s leg with its head.

  Amy rubbed Ugly Duckling’s head with her feet as she consoled, “It’s fine. It’s not your fault that you are ugly. This is your fate.”


  It’s cold today, so Amy’s got to wear her padded jacket and bunny beanie. Mag brought a white down jacket and a little beanie over. After helping Amy change out of her pyjamas, he wrapped her up with the down jacket and put on the beanie for her.

  The white bunny beanie had two cute droopy ears. The beanie could cover the ears nicely, and there were two white furballs that fell to her hands’ level. Wearing it together with the white down jacket made her look like a little white rabbit, which was so adorable.

  Mag nodded with satisfaction as he felt that his dressing sense was getting back.

  “Meow~” Ugly Duckling gazed at Amy in shock as it almost couldn’t recognize her.

  “Father, how do I look?” Amy asked expectantly.

  “Erm, very adorable.” Mag nodded.

  “Amy wants to have a look too! Amy wants to have a look too!” Amy said excitedly.

  “Then, Father will carry you.” Mag carried Amy to the bathroom.

  “Wow. Little bunny is so cute!” Amy looked at herself in the mirror with wide eyes. Then, she began to sing, “Little bunny, white and chubby, two pointed ears……”


  “Little Amy, you can try to pull those two furballs,” Mag said smilingly as he suddenly remembered something.

  “This?” Amy took one white furball and pulled.

  The left bunny ear stood up.

  “Wow!” Amy blinked and stared at the pointed ear in amazement. Then, she grabbed the other and pulled it. The other ear stood up too.

  Pull and release, and the bunny ears would rise and fall. Amy’s eyes widened as she made all sorts of cute expressions.

  “It’s so fun and cute! Father, I really like this little bunny,” Amy said happily as she held Mag’s face and gave him a kiss.
