Chapter 240 Pick Me
“I've wanted to kill this jerk for a long time.”
With a forceful stomp on the ground, Yelena vented her frustration.
After hearing this, Emrys fell silent for a moment, then comforted with a smile, “No matter what, at least you’re finally free now.” “Yes!”
Yelena nodded. “As for the question of one’s background, f*ck it. All | need is you and the other sisters. That's enough. We will always be a family.”
“Indeed, we are family, after all. We did, after all, make promises and swore oaths when we were children...”
Emrys chuckled, but he quickly knew better than to keep talking, closing his mouth. However, Yelena looked at him with amusement, saying, “Go on. Were you about to say that
you want to marry us sisters?”
“| wasn’t going to...” “Really?”
Suddenly, Yelena moved closer to Emrys, extending her slender jade-like finger to lift his chin. Then, with a playful glint in her narrow fox-like eyes, she asked, “If you could only choose one among the seven of us sisters, who would you choose?”
Choose? What a joke! Only a child would choose! Emrys said with a hint of unease, “I would choose you, course!” of
The question was posed by Yelena, so naturally, he would say it was her. If he were to answer with any other sister, Yelena would surely beat him up.
“You're lying. We clearly had so many opportunities...°.
Right then, Emrys coughed dryly and said, “Lena, we should probably deal with the b*dy first!”
After returning from Nightrose Bar, Emrys secretly made his way to the backyard all by himself.
After much hesitation, in the end, he dialed a special number and instructed, “Help me investigate someone's background.”
The old friar once cautioned Emrys about matters of origin, advising him to go with the flow. However, Emrys couldn’t help himself. He wanted to lend a hand to Yelena, so he notified the Seventy- two Shadow Forces.
Emrys then waited for a while before he could get a response.
“Mr. Lund, | regret to inform you that we could not uncover Ms. Lynch's origins. Despite mobilizing all our information networks, we only managed to gather information about Ms. Lynch after she arrived

at Sunshine Children’s Home,”
“| don’t blame you. Please help me investigate the backgrounds of the other six individuals...”
And so Emrys provided the information of the other six sisters to Seventy-two Shadow Forces. The result he received was still the same. All the information before the orphanage was completely blank.
Even Cordelia, despite having acknowledged her relationship with the Youngblood family, had no information about her childhood. It was a blank slate.
Emrys remained silent for a long time, finally asking in a nervous tone, “What about mine?” “| have failed you...” Emrys‘ emotions had reached an extreme level of complexity when he heard those words.
His Seventy-two Shadow Forces’ information network was incredibly powerful. However, even then, it was unable to uncover the origins of him and the seven sisters. It was as if it had been severed, which was quite eerie.
“What a grand chess game this is!” Emrys was certain that there was definitely a higher power, perhaps even several, manipulating everything from behind the
scenes. He had Seventy-two Shadow Forces investigate the backgrounds of Gavin and Leiandros, and the results were very clear about their origins.
Only the backgrounds of Emrys and the seven sisters were untraceable. It was truly a spine—chilling discovery.
The old friar must have known something, which is why he told me to go with the flow. It seems | need to find some time to return to the monastery to ask the old friar what exactly is going on. Emrys shook his head.
Later that night, Emrys was sleeping in his room when he suddenly heard a squeak. The door was being opened by someone, and then he saw a graceful figure entering noiselessly.
“Rys...” Bathed in the moonlight streaming in from the window, Emrys instantly recognized her. It was Ninette.
Ninette did not turn on the room lights. Instead, she extended both her hands, feeling her way around. Eventually, she found herself inside Emrys* blanket.
Ninette, clad in a thin nightgown, dove straight into Emrys‘ bed, giving him quite a fright. He hurriedly asked in a hushed voice, “Nina, what’s going on?”
Huff! Ninette’s breath was faint, her eyes tightly shut, showing no signs of consciousness.
