1390 Saan siya nakakuha ng lakas ng loob?

Ye Wanwan slowly stood up from the chief seat and glanced at Nameless Nie then Taoist Devotee. She snorted and said, "Heh, you two… your wings hardened after returning to the Independent State… Should I turn you into clipped-winged angels?"

Dahan-dahan na tumayo si Ye Wan Wan mula sa upuan ng chief at tiningnan niya si Nameless Nie at Deboto. Suminghal siya at sinabi, "Heh, kayong dalawa… ang mga pakpak niyo ay tumigas na nang makabalik kayo sa Independent State… gagawin ko ba kayong mga anghel na walang pakpak?"

All the experts became more uncertain upon hearing that. They started to believe they were conned and deceived, but how could Ye Wanwan dare to challenge two people from the Nie family if she wasn't Black Widow?!

Lalong naging sigurado ang mga eksperto nang marinig nila iyon. Naniwala na sila na nilinlang lamang sila, pero paano makakalaban si Ye Wan Wan sa dalawang tao na mula sa Nie family kung hindi siya si Black Widow?!

"You…" Taoist Devotee had an odd expression as he stared at Ye Wanwan, as though he wanted to say something.

"Ikaw…" kakaiba ang itsura ng Deboto habang nakatitig siya kay Ye Wan Wan na parang may gusto siyang sabihin.

"Who are you?" Nameless Nie asked coldly.

"Sino ka?" Galit na tinanong ni Nameless Nie.

Ye Wanwan glanced at the bewildered Nameless Nie, her lips twitching slightly. "Nameless Nie, you're rather impressive now! You're different from back when you kept pleading me to help you look after Tangtang again and again…"

Tiningnan ni Nameless Nie ang naguguluhan na si Ye Wan Wan, biglang kumibo ang kanyang labi. "Nakakamangha ka, Nameless Nie! Mas iba ka na ngayon kumpara noong nagmamakaawa ka sa akin ng paulit-ulit na alagaan si Tang Tang…"

All the experts looked at each other blankly, becoming more dazed. What kind of code language are they using…

Nagtinginan ang mga eksperto sa isa't isa at mas lalo silang naguluhan. Anong klaseng linggwahe ang ginagamit nila...

"Sh*t… That's impossible, right…" Taoist Devotee's expression shifted. "There are thousands of miles between the Independent State and China… It's impossible… Moreover, you couldn't have come to the Independent State without a permit. What's going on…"

"P*ta… imposible, totoo ba ito…" nagulat ang deboto. "Ilang libong milya ang pagitan ng Independent State at China… imposible talaga… at tsaka, hindi ka makakapasok ng Independent State nang walang permit. Anong nangyayari…"

Nameless Nie looked at Taoist Devotee, flabbergasted. "What are you saying… Who… in the world is this woman? What does looking after Tangtang mean…"

Gulat na tiningnan ni Nameless Nie ang Deboto. "Anong sinasabi mo… sino… ang babaeng ito? Anong ibig sabihin niya sa pag-aalaga kay Tang Tang…"

Before Taoist Devotee could reply though, Nameless Nie became shocked and exclaimed, "Sh*t! That's impossible, right… Boss Famous?!"

Bago pa makasagot ang deboto, nagulat si Nameless Nie at sumigaw siya, "P*ta! Imposible ito… Boss Famous?!"

"That's right, Captain. No wonder they look like identical twins—they were the same person to begin with…" Taoist Devotee nodded several times.

"Totoo, Kapitan. Kaya pala parang magkambal kayo–iisang tao lang pala sila…" ilang beses na tumango ang Deboto.

"You idiot; you can't even recognize Boss Famous? You're saying they're twins? Are you brainless? Are you blind?" Nameless Nie shouted at Taoist Devotee.

"Bobo; hindi mo man lang mamukhaan si Boss Famous? Sinasabi mo na kambal sila? Wala kang utak? Bulag ka?" Sinigawan ni Nameless Nie ang Deboto.

Taoist Devotee looked at his captain incredulously. He would admit it if someone else said that to him, but his captain… Where did he get the face to say that to me…?

Tiningnan ng Deboto ang kapitan niya. Hindi niya sasabihin ito kung walang magsasabi sa kanya, pero ang kapitan niya na ito… saan siya nakakuha ng lakas ng loob para sabihin niya ito sa akin…?

Didn't he not recognize her himself? He merely said they looked similar! At least I said they were twins, which is closer to the truth…

Hindi niya ba namukhaan nang sarili niya si Ye Wan Wan? Sinabi niya lang na magkamukha sila! Ang sinabo ko nga ay magkambal sila, mas malapit ito sa katotohanan...

"You two, follow me!"

"Kayong dalawa, sundan niyo ako!"

Ye Wanwan looked at Nameless Nie and Taoist Devotee before turning and entering the inner hall.

Tiningnan ni Ye Wan Wan si Nameless Nie at ang Deboto bago siya tumalikod at pumasok sa inner hall.

Nameless Nie and Taoist Devotee glanced at each other and ended up following Ye Wanwan into the inner hall, leaving behind a group of baffled people.

Nagtinginan sila Nameless Nie at ang Deboto hanggang sa sinundan na lang ng dalawang naguguluhang tao si Ye Wan Wan sa inner hall.

…

In the inner hall, Nameless Nie looked at Ye Wanwan, full of astonishment. He asked excitedly, "Sister Famous Ye, it's really you? Why did you come to the Independent State? Could it be you came to visit us? Wait… how did you come to the Independent State? Do you have a permit?"

Sa loob ng inner hall, tiningnan ni Nameless Nie si Ye Wan Wan nang may pagmamangha. Sabik siyang nagtanong, "Sister Famous Ye, ikaw ba talaga iyan? Bakit ka pumunta sa Independent State? Pumunta ka ba dito para bisitahin kami? Teka… paano ka nakapasok ng Independent State? May permit ka ba?"

Ye Wanwan rolled her eyes at Nameless Nie's prattling and string of questions. Is that the key point…?

Inirapan ni Ye Wan Wan si Nameless Nie na nagtatanong ng marami sa kanya. Iyon ba ang punto dito…?

"I came to find someone. Didn't I tell you…? I originally wanted to come with you to the Independent State. But my calls didn't go through, and you didn't respond to my messages," Ye Wanwan explained.

"Pumunta ako dito dahil may hinahanap akong tao. Hindi ba't sinabi ko ito sa inyo…? Gusto ko sanang sumama sa inyo noong bumalik kayo dito. Pero hindi ko kayo matawagan, at hindi kayo sumagot sa mga text ko," nagpaliwanag si Ye Wan Wan.

Nameless Nie nodded and explained pensively, "Phones aren't allowed to be turned on in airplanes… After arriving in the Independent State, we couldn't use our previous sim cards and phones anymore, so we threw them away… But Sister Famous Ye, aren't you too gutsy? You dared to trespass in the Independent State?! You don't have a permit, right?"

Tumango si Nameless Nie at balisa siyang nagpaliwanag, "Hindi pwedeng buksan ang mga phone sa eroplano… pagkarating namin sa Independent State, hindi na namin magamit ang mga sim cards namin at phone, kaya tinapin na namin ang mga ito… Pero Sister Famous Ye, parang ang tapang mo naman masyado? Sinubukan mo talagang pumasok sa Independent State?! Wala kang permit, tama?"

"I don't…" Ye Wanwan shook her head honestly.

"Wala akong permit…" umiling si Ye Wan Wan.

"Sister Famous Ye, you seriously aren't afraid of death. The Independent State has always rejected outsiders, and outsiders typically don't turn out well after entering the Independent State," Nameless Nie said.

"Sister Famous Ye, hindi ka talaga takot sa kamatayan. Hindi talaga pumapayag ang Independent State na magpapasok ng mga dayo at ang mga dayo na gustong pumasok sa Independent State ay pinapapatay," sabi ni Nameless Nie.
