Chapter 468: Gifts
"Mommy, I\'m back," Sparkle said to Anna. Anna was in her monstrous true form and was busy chewing on something. Three desperate and terrified figurestwo women and a man were crying out in terror in front of Anna.
They were completely naked and had been thoroughly cleaned.
The one and only man among the figuresan old man with a white beard shouted, "Governor Tucker doesn\'t have a sister like you! You\'re just a disgusting monster! A monster that takes advantage of people by altering their memories!"
"So you\'ve finally figured it out? Unfortunately, you realized it far too late." Anna\'s writhing tentacles wrapped around the old man and tossed him into Anna\'s stomach.
"The bones of old people are really tough. My teeth are aching just chewing on them," Anna remarked.
The two women wailed even louder and scrambled to escape, but they had nowhere to go.
Sparkle found the scene a bit boring, and she turned around to leave the room.
"Mommy, I\'m going to play with Nene."
"Wait, what did the scumbag make you do?" Anna asked, casting the massive yellow cross-shaped pupil in the middle of her massive form at her daughter.
"Who\'s the scumbag?"
"The scumbag is your daddy. Your daddy is the scumbag."
"The scumbag took me out to play. He made me crawl into box after box, and I met a lady there as well. She was really nice to me, and she gave me many wonderful things. She also" Sparkle recounted truthfully.
Anna soon found out what Charles had experienced in 068.
Having finished her dinner, Anna reclined peacefully on her chair and propped her chin with her elbow on the armrest. "Was he injured?"
"Daddy lost an eye," Sparkle said. Then, she ran over to Anna and closed her eyes as she nestled up against Anna\'s bosom.
"Was it the left or the right eye?"
"The right eye; the eye that can move by itself."
"Then, it\'s not a big deal. Anything else?" Anna asked, stroking Sparkle\'s long hair on her back.
Sparkle\'s black hair rapidly transformed into tentacles and coiled gently around Anna\'s fingers. "Daddy\'s head was hurting a lot as well. Daddy really was in pain."
Anna\'s eyes widened slightly at the remark, and then her expression revealed disdain. "Serves him right. Does he think that the sea is his backyard or something?"
"Mommy, is there anything else? If there\'s nothing else, can I go play with Nene now?" Sparkle asked, gazing at Anna\'s beautiful visage.
"Go ahead, but remember not to reveal your true identity to her. Otherwise, you\'ll lose that friend of yours," Anna replied, letting go of Sparkle.
"Okay!" Sparkle exclaimed and vanished into thin air.
Left all alone, Anna\'s nonchalant expression was replaced by worry and a tinge of annoyance. "Gao Zhiming, you\'re definitely going to get yourself killed one day if you keep messing around like this."
Meanwhile, Sparkle reappeared in her room. Eight tentacles writhed from beneath her skirt to search through the gifts on what to bring over for her friend, Nene.
Sparkle pondered over what gifts to ultimately give Nene, but she soon discovered that every single one of them was a suitable gift to give to her friend. In the end, she decided to bring them all, including the two trembling puppets.
Sparkle was about to teleport to Nene\'s doorstep when she stopped upon realizing something. If she were to go there just like this, Nene\'s mother would only allow her to stay for one night.
Sparkle looked around the corridor of the Governor\'s Mansion and found a maid sweeping the floor in the distance. She waved her hand at the maid and walked over to the latter before saying, "I want to go somewheretake me there."
The tall maid set her broom aside and knelt on one knee. "As you wish, Lady Sparkle."
Under the maid\'s lead, Sparkle left the Governor\'s Mansion and rode the huge wooden basket that would bring them beneath the Crown\'s gillsa place always covered in spores.
The maid carrying a variety of items cast a surprised gaze at the hut. "Lady Sparkle, is that really your friend\'s home?"
"Why can\'t it be?" Sparkle asked, turning to the maid.
"No, it surely can. It\'s just that I didn\'t expect your friend to be so ordinary."
Sparkle knocked on the wooden door rather than replying to the maid.
Donna opened the door with a ladle in hand and was astonished to see two figures behind the doorone tall and one short. The short figure was familiar to her, as she was none other than Sparkle.
"What brings you here, Sparkle? And who is she?"
"She\'s one of Mommy\'s people. And she\'s going to stay with me. I can play with Nene for as long as I want now, right?" Sparkle said. Then, she crouched and walked past Donna through the latter\'s slightly dirty skirt to find her friend.
The maid walked into the home and looked around the humble interior before following closely behind Sparkle. She spared not even a glance at Donna, the owner of the house.
Donna wasn\'t infuriated by the maid\'s unreasonable behavior. Instead, her expression revealed a hint of self-deprecation as she stared at the maid wearing a uniform made from exquisite fabric.
The fact that Sparkle\'s maid was wearing clothes better than Donna herself meant that Sparkle\'s parents had to be pretty wealthy. Donna reckoned that Sparkle\'s father had to be the owner of a merchant group with over a dozen cargo ships.
Contrary to her mother, Nene didn\'t think too much upon seeing the maid. She was simply happy to see that her friend had come to visit her. She put down the black bread in her hand and ran over to hug Sparkle.
"This is awesome, Sparkle! I\'m so happy to see you here again. I missed you a lot!"
The two children laughed and jumped around for a while before Sparkle told the maid to put down the items that she was carrying on the table. Sparkle had brought so many gifts with her that Nene\'s black bread was pushed over to the edge of the table.
Nene revealed a hesitant look upon seeing the items. "Sparkle, are these all for me?"
"Mmhm. They\'re all for you," Sparkle replied. She took out a piece of colorful candy from the pile and handed it to Nene.
"But I don\'t have anything to give you in return."
"No need to give me anything. I have many of these things." Sparkle said, placing a piece of colorful candy in Nene\'s hand.
In the face of so many trinkets, Nene\'s hesitant expression vanished and was replaced with a joyful one. "I\'ll accept your gifts, then. If I ever find something interesting in the future, I\'ll give it to you, too."
Nene popped the candy into her mouth, and her eyes widened instantly. "Mmhm~ it\'s so sweet! It\'s so delicious. It\'s much better than Auntie\'s candies."
"My daddy\'s friends gave them to me. Daddy also bought two tiny people for me," Sparkle said. Then, she placed the two tiny puppets on the table.
The puppets looked up at Sparkle\'s towering face, and they soon began waving the tiny wooden props in their hands while reciting their lines with proper intonation.
While staring at the tiny puppets, Sparkle realized something and blinked her big eyes. Huh? They teleported with me, so why are they still alive? I thought Mommy was the only one who could teleport with me.
Nene was truly stupefied. It hadn\'t been that long since Sparkle\'s visit, but she could no longer believe what was happening today. Nene felt as if the world had gone through earth-shattering changes without her knowledge.
"Sparkle, who exactly is your father? This is really awesome"
Donna\'s ears perked up at her daughter\'s question; she also wanted to know the answer to that question.
And that was when Sparkle replied, "My daddy is a scumbag."
