Reborn Through Fire (Kisa and Gilbert)
Chapter 705

Chapter 705 Concealed From the Eyes of Outsiders

Kisa shuddered in fear. However, the warm, big hand grasped her even tighter.

She gave it some thought and eventually did not fling the person's hand away.

For some reason, Kisa felt a mixture of emotions as they got closer to the two jailers.

The subordinate glanced at them and said, "Don't worry,, Mr. Kooper. Even though the dogs in this village bark loudly, they don't bite. They don't bite me when I stand still; they just bark at me like mad." 'Barking like mad is pretty scary, too,' Kisa thought.

The subordinate lead them a short distance through the village. Then, Kisa saw a tile-roofed house with lights on inside.

Gilbert's subordinates rented the tile-roofed house.

There were three people standing in front of the house, and they seemed to be there to welcome them.

After Kisa and Gilbert went up, they greeted them.

Gilbert spoke, "Let's go inside."

In the middle of the house was a living room; it was simple and had little furnishings. There was only a stove

heating up firewood to be used for heating.

On both sides of the living room was a room each.

The subordinate pointed to the room on the left and said to Gilbert, "The two jailers are staying in there. Since they have families staying here in the village, they weren't willing to stay locked up here at first, so we had to split ourselves into two teams to protect them. In the morning two days ago, we fell into the killer's trap. By the time we rushed over, the two of them were already injured. After that, we centralized them here to protect them. We also learned from them that they were saved by, a few mysterious people. Davian is confused, too. He said he didn't send anybody over."

Gilbert nodded and walked to the room on the left.

Kisa was already standing in front of the door.

She peered into the room for a while.

The furnishings in the room were simple as well.

There was only a bed, a curtain, and a table with food and

water.

The curtains separated the bed from the table, so Kisa could not see what was behind the curtains nor what the jailers looked like.

The subordinate said, "After regaining consciousness, they fainted again shortly after. However, the doctor from the village said their lives were not in danger and

that they'll probably wake up tomorrow. You'll have to wait for tomorrow if you have any questions for them, Mr. Kooper."

"Alright," Gilbert nodded. Then, he turned to Kisa, "Are you cold? Warm yourself in front of the fireplace if you are."

Just as Kisa was walking toward the furnace, the subordinate spoke again, "The room on the right has already been tidied up, so you and the lady can go into to get some rest any time. There's also a fireplace inside to keep you warm."

"How about the rest of you?" Kisa said out of reflex.

The subordinate smiled, "We need to take turns watching over the jailers, so we'll be fine. When we shut the doors later, the house will be warm."

Kisa did not speak.

"Thanks for your hard work," said Gilbert.

Then, he pulled Kisa to the room on the right.

The layout of the room was exactly the same as the room on the left.

There was a curtain that concealed them from the eyes of outsiders.

The bed was tidy and neat. There was an extra thick cotton blanket laid on top.

'These men are unexpectedly thoughtful,' thought Kisa.

Kisa was tired and sleepy. However, Gilbert was no better; he looked exhausted.

He unfolded the blanket and said to Kisa, "You can sleep on the inside."

Kisa had no qualms about his suggestion, so she took off her shoes and jacket before crawling into bed.

After all, she and Gilbert had been sleeping on the same bed for the past few days.

Right after she laid down, Gilbert did the same on the outer area of the bed.

Even though the two were sleepy, neither of them fell asleep after lying down.

Kisa placed her hands outside of the blanket and stared at the haphazard spiderwebs on the ceiling.

"Do you think the jailers will tell the truth about what happened in the fire years ago?" she asked.
