Chapter 673
The people who had personally experienced what happened on Pacilian Ocean kept their mouths shut. They were all reticent.
The murder of the Merrida's chief and a few other chiefs was not a small matter. It became an open secret.
Everyone knew the truth, but no one dared to bring it up.
There was only one reason: the current Lockwood family and Lucsia were extremely powerful.
It was not an exaggeration to say that they were the overlord of this world.
They had crystal potion. They had terrifyingly advanced weapons. In fact, they even had The Fairy!
Those who were enemies of the Lockwood family deserved to die.
However, the Lockwood family kept a low profile from then on. This made the already famous family even more mysterious and unfathomable.
Five years was enough for a large family to become unknown.
As for the Lockwood family's patriarch and his wife, they were shrouded in mystery.
Southeast Aelinne.
Draxton and Isabella came to Southeast Aelinne again.
They came here for vacation and also to investigate an organization called Strix.
This organization had quietly risen in Southeast Aelinne in the past two years and had already tricked the Lockwood family several times. Moreover, Strix seemed to be specifically targeting the Lockwood family.
Isabella and Draxton lived in the same estate they used to live in.
The two of them were very relaxed and were not in a hurry to investigate Strix. After playing outside for a day, they finally drove back before evening. The two of them did not look tired at all. In fact, they looked refreshed. Compared to five years ago, time had barely left any traces on them. However, their auras had changed.
Draxton was even gentler than before. In front of his wife and children, he could never be cold.
After what he had gone through in the past five years, he now gave people a warm and gentle feeling.
As for Isabella, compared to the sharpness of the past, the current her was gentle and reserved, and her eyes were filled with happiness and sweetness.
Only people who were surrounded by happiness and love would have such a calm temperament.
Her eyes were clear and beautiful.
"Ollie, Daddy and Mommy are back. Come here and let Mommy hug you!"
Isabella took off her scarf and coat as she shouted up the stairs.
That was right. They had brought a little troublemaker to Southeast Aelinne this time.
The butler stood at the side and wanted to say something but hesitated.
Isabella shouted, but Ollie did not respond.
She raised her eyebrow and said to Draxton, "We didn't bring Ollie out to play today. Is he really angry?"
Draxton also raised his eyebrow and looked upstairs with interest. "It's okay. We brought gifts. Ollie is very easy to coax."
Isabella immediately nodded and began to rummage through their shopping bags for gifts.
The butler finally interrupted and said, "Mr. and Mrs. Lockwood, the young master is not at home."
Huh?
Isabella and Draxton looked over in surprise.
Draxton frowned. "Ollie won't run away from home just because he's angry."
Moreover, that child had a good temper and rarely threw a tantrum. This made them very vexed at the same time.
Isabella said, "Could it be that Fernando stole him away again?"
That was right. Ollie's childhood was difficult. In the past few years, he had been stolen by Fernando more than ten times. Every time, they had to fly to the Barclays family to negotiate with Fernando before he would return the child to them.
After all this time, the Lockwood family had given Fernando a lot of benefits!
They were all numb to this.
The butler said, It wasn't Mr. Fernando. Not long after the two of you went out, His Majesty's three children came to look for the young master. "Young Master went out to play with the two princes and the little princess. He's probably in the king's palace now."
Isabella and Draxton looked at each other. Isabella rubbed her forehead. "Forget it, Draxton. Let's bring some gifts that the children like and visit
Malakai. We haven't seen him for a few years."
"I heard that Malakai has married a few more wives over the years. Now, he has a total of 14 wives. Moreover, these wives of his are all your admirers."
Draxton did not look too happy. Malakai really knew how to make things difficult for him.
Isabella rubbed her nose and was a little speechless. Malakai really pulled a stunt.
Draxton still did not look happy.
Isabella said, "I'm a little curious. If someone pretended to be my fan with the goal of marrying Malakai, I bet he wouldn't be able to tell!"
Draxton said grumpily, "That's Malakai's business."
Even if Malakai really had such bad luck with women, he deserved it.
They took the gifts that the children would like and headed to Malakai's palace.
They never would have thought that what they said casually would become true.
A beautiful young woman with an enchanting figure sat in the gorgeous palace. She gently stroked her flat stomach, her alluring eyes filled with charm.
She was wearing exquisite robes and was sitting quietly on the couch. Opposite her, a maid stood respectfully and was reporting something to her in a low voice. "Your Highness, the matter has been settled. Those three little mutts will never come back!"
"It's just... it's just that other than those three little mutts, there's also the Lockwood family's young master with them. He was also sold."
At this point, the maid's voice sounded a little weak.
The beautiful woman's expression changed slightly. What?"
Her eyes flickered uneasily, then she gritted her teeth and said, "Was it a clean job? They didn't leave any clues, did they?"
The maid said confidently, "Don't worry. Our people did a very clean job. They definitely won't be able to trace it to you."
The woman heaved a sigh of relief.
After a moment, she sneered."
Hmph, if you want to blame someone, blame that Lockwood- family's child for being unlucky He
could have played with anyone, but
he had to play with those little
mutts.
"Actually, he deserves it. Back then, I pretended to be a fan of Isabella, so His Majesty paid attention to me. Otherwise, I wouldn't even have the chance to marry into royalty.
"Now that I am finally pregnant with His Majesty's child, I must clear the way for my own child.
"Naturally, we can't keep those three favored little bastards around!"

Although Southeast Aelinne was not as chaotic as before under the king's rule as well as the influence of the Chancely family, the Andrews Family and the Lockwood family, there were still some things that could not be completely eliminated.
It was very easy to traffic children. It was highly likely that they would never be found.
What the woman did not know was that at this moment, Isabella and Draxton had already arrived at the palace to meet Malakai.Content © NôvelDrama.Org.
They exchanged a few simple pleasantries before mentioning the children.
Malakai was stunned. What? They're not back? I thought they were still playing at the Lockwood family's estate!
Isabella and Draxton's expressions immediately changed.
Malakai realized something and his expression changed as well.
This was Southeast Aelinne, not Lucsia. They were really afraid.
If someone was targeting them, the children's safety could not be guaranteed.
They immediately panicked and sent people to look for the children.
On an uninhabited path, a large truck filled with tobacco kicked up a trail of dust.
Among the containers filled with tobacco, there was one container where four children were tied up, gagged, and squeezed inside.
They were all about five years old. The little princess and one of the princes were already crying from fear, their faces covered in tears and snot. The other prince's face was also pale. His eyes were filled with fear, but he was still calm.
Then, he looked at the little guy who had different colored eyes. He was sniffing around in the dark and narrow space, looking very curious. He looked a little silly as if he did not know fear at all.
