‘Somebody cares more about her life; she isn’t disposable or fearless, Quinlyn thought.
She walked inside with the painting, thinking of the lively crowd at Wilson residence.
She went upstairs, placing the painting on the windowsill, sunlight emphasizing its vibrant colors even more.
Cher had once said that Zane was the angel, while the hidden truth was that she was the demon.

It was she who decided to eliminate her relatives, she who used a knife to kill, and she who destroyed evidence. Her idea of
justice wielded a scythe, making her darker compared to the pure–hearted Zane.
This allure drew Cher in; her love for Zane reflected their duality, which is why the painting was displayed at the door, constantly
reminding Cher.
By giving the painting away, Cher unlocked her own shackles, signaling that the scythe of justice would mercilessly harvest
criminals in Ceruland’s new era of strict judgment.
After a moment of contemplation, Quinlyn called Glenn, “Glenn, I want to hand over the antidote to Jelasica for safekeeping. You
can handle the payment.”
Glenn was delighted to hear this, sighing in relief. “You finally figured it out. I know you want justice for the victims, but risking
your safety isn’t worth it. Let me handle it; we won’t let them get away.”
“Thanks, Glenn,” Quinlyn replied, feeling calm and safe as she chose to cooperate with the authorities rather than risking herself.
In the first week of school, stock prices were rising across various fields in the country, ushering in a bull market.
“It’s insane. My dad said almost all sectors are up. This has never happened before; even a beggar could make money now!”

At Mantleton Elementary, students familiar with investment chatted away. Some of them were knowledgeable, thanks to elite
education.

Quinlyn, however, wasn’t that interested and struggled to understand.
Luckily, Mandy quietly explained, “I heard from my dad that many rich foreigners are suddenly investing, boosting economic
growth and creating jobs.”
Quinlyn looked at the stock owners on Mandy’s phone and understood, “This must be the cost of next month’s antidote; it’s
better than my arbitrary punishments at least.’
Another month passed, and as spring warmed the air, Curtis finally came to visit Quinlyn.
“Look, you’ve grown taller and put on weight.” His large hand gently patted her head as always.
“Grandpa Curtis.” Quinlyn peered through her fingers, missing him.
“Things have passed; if you miss me, you can always come to 901 Military Base,” Curtis said warmly, relieved that Quinlyn
realized she could live without the heavy secrecy.
“Thanks to you, the economy is prospering, and several treasures lost overseas are returning home. I’m going to supervise the
delivery. Do you want anything? Snacks or toys?”
He felt guilty for leaving Quinlyn alone to deal with her feelings when departing from Rainbow Island due to regulations. He
wanted to make amends.

But Quinlyn didn’t want anything, “Just your safe return”

“Don’t worry; this is a treasure transport, so it’s safe” Curtis showed her the transport list, inviting her to look for interesting stops
along the way in case if she wanted anything.

“Or you could come with me; it’ll be like a vacation. He added, thinking it was a great idea.
Just then, Joseph chimed in, “Curtis, she still has school.”
Curtis paused, realizing his plan to take Quinlyn out fell flat. He shot back, “Why don’t you go to school then? Isn’t your
Rutherford National University schedule packed?”

Joseph smiled, meeting his gaze. “I’ve already completed my credits”
Curtis went silent, realizing he couldn’t outsmart Quinlyn. He left feeling frustrated.
Quinlyn glanced over at Joseph. “Are you watching me?”
“Yeah,” Joseph admitted, setting down his papers. “Elowyn said you’re skipping too many classes and wanted a parent- teacher
meeting to check your attendance.”
Elowyn, as a mom, took her role seriously, and everyone at the Mantleton Elementary knew Quinlyn had an enthusiastic and
caring godmother, the president of the parent committee.
To set an example, Quinlyn had to ensure her attendance.
“But if you’re really bored, I have several projects you could join for extracurricular activities,” Joseph suggested.
Quinlyn took an A4 sheet and saw various activities listed, even experiments and lab tours, all compliant with elementary student
standards. It seemed Joseph was well–prepared for this situation.
Joseph grinned. “Claude used to help me skip school too. The classes were too easy, and Elowyn is pretty stubborn.”
Elowyn wanted her child to grow up healthy, which was reasonable, but it didn’t suit the clarity and determination that Quinlyn
and Joseph had.
Thinking about her upcoming music class, where the teacher was correcting her pitch, Quinlyn felt like skipping, so she randomly
chose to visit the prison’s defense system instead.
After selecting, she flipped through the brochure Curtis had given her. This treasure transport would span five cities from north to
south, showcasing beautiful landscapes and local cultures, including treasures she hadn’t yet seen.

“Holy Relics? Joseph, what is this?” she asked, flipping a page to face the boy across from her.
Joseph, being the top student, quickly responded after a glance, “It’s a preservation technique for a monk’s body after death,
similar to mummification. The body is dried and stored in a vat for three years. If it hasn’t decayed, the insides are hollowed, and
it’s adorned in gold.”
“These Holy Relics are extremely valuable, crucial national treasures that must be returned.”
Quinlyn was surprised to hear about gilding a corpse, glancing back at the description intrigued by the details.
This particular delivery was a Holy Relic from an ancient dynasty. The donor specified it came from Beckinsdale’s Durnach Hills,
and it must return to its rightful place in the temple; otherwise, the agreement would become void.
Upon reading this, Quinlyn furrowed her brow. It felt unfair that there were so many conditions tied to the donation.
