?Chapter 1276:


    These attackers remained silent on the ground, too frightened to utter a sound. They hurried off in chaos while Harlee conversed with the boy.


    Upon noticing this, the boy eximed, “Look! They…”


    “Don’t worry,” Harleeforted him, her smile reassuring. “I’ll ensure you get your chance for revenge.”


    Exhausted and weak, the boy copsed, his lips quivering and his gaze hollow. “Harlee, is it really you? Am I dreaming?”


    Almost two years had passed since Tonya’sst visit to the ind, leading the boy to believe Harlee wouldn’t visit. He felt confused. He began to wonder if he had already died and was now seeing things. Had he somehow reached heaven, where he could finally see Harlee again? Harlee carefully assisted him to a seated position, her voice gentle. “Dario, how did you find yourself here?”


    Back then, Harlee and Tonya had sent Dario to a secluded area in elia after saving him.


    Dario stared at her nkly. Upon hearing her question, his face turned somber. He nced downward and murmured, “Two years ago, Tonya discovered this ideal spot and envisioned it as a secret paradise. She brought me here.” His tone carried no resentment, just immense trust. “Initially, Tonya woulde and stay for a few days now and then. During those moments, this ce truly seemed like a paradise. Butter on, her visits ceased, and everything began to change.”

    As Dario spoke, his eyes burned with hatred. It wasn’t aimed at Tonya, but at those who had cruelly taken control of the ce.


    “Change?” Harlee asked, her expression one of confusion.


    Dario raised his eyes to meet hers, his dark pupils radiating an intense hatred that seemed to engulf the surroundings. “Those people who just beat me up have taken over this ce!”


    Dario said bitterly, “They were employed by Tonya to oversee the ind. Their behavior was exemry in her presence. However, as soon as she departed for six months, they imported their kin and usurped the docks. Anyone attempting to escape the ind was savagely murdered. The people Tonya hired have ended up as ves to this family.”


    Tears filled Dario’s eyes as he added, “Anyone who dared to disobey would be beaten to death! After they had nearly gained control of everyone on the ind, they nned…”


    “To post fake job ads to bring even more people here. They transformed what was supposed to be Tonya’s gift to you into a scam base!”


    Robbie’s face turned red with fury upon hearing this. He yelled, “Those people are unbelievable. They have the nerve to act so boldly on Tonya’s turf!”


    This was Dario’s first encounter with Robbie. The intensity of his outcry made Dario recoil in apprehension. He gazed at Robbie, his knees trembling.


    “Keep your voice down.” Harlee gave Robbie a cold look before softening her tone when addressing Dario, “There’s no need to fear. These are all my allies, and they mean you no harm.”


    Right after her reassurance, a group led by Noel approached.


    Concerned that Harlee might be ufortable from crouching for so long, Rhys encircled her waist, helped her to stand, and positioned her so she could leanfortably against him. He nced at Goodwin and said calmly, “See to the boy’s injuries first.”


    Goodwin promptly approached and knelt beside Dario.


    Having not felt kindness for a while, Dario was somewhat overwhelmed. “No, really, I’m alright. I can stand by myself.”
