American comics: Damn it, I’m surrounded by those who worry about their fathers!.

Chapter 456: Riven: If you want to hurt my father, even God will kill you!
After quietly walking out of the farm, Riven looked up at the sky covered by dark clouds.

There were some stars in the sky originally, but they were soon covered by dark clouds, and the only bit of light that was emitted was also blocked.

The girl in the purple-black robe wrapped herself up in the slightly cold night.

"Fukin" flew out of the farm, landed on her shoulder, and followed her out of the farm.

"I will be careful enough, Fujin. After the battle with General Zod, my magic power has increased a lot, so don't worry."

Hearing "Fujin"'s reminder, Riven shrugged her shoulders and said.

Once they were out of the farm, Riven activated her ability and flew towards the neighboring town of Whit.

The town of Whitby is more prosperous than Smallville, and its hot springs and red wine have made this town famous.

As early as more than 150 years ago, this place had a developed hot spring industry and has always been the most important hot spring resort in Kansas. A small hot spring here is also known as the "Little Old Faithful" hot spring.

There is also a famous winery nearby, which is a unique medieval-style building.

Raven once went to Whit Town with Peter to take a hot spring bath and was deeply impressed by the place.

After flying to her destination, Raven entered an abandoned manor in Whittown.

This is where Fu Jin told her the crow disappeared.

Wisps of mist floated above the blocky ground and rolled gently around Riven.

Looking at the manor in front of her that seemed to be emitting a strange aura and seemed to be preying on anyone, Riven became alert and prepared to bombard it with magic power if anything went wrong.

There was a rustling sound coming from the weeds in front of the manor.

Riven frowned and slowly gathered black magic power in her hands.

"Wow!"

The next second, a hare ran out from the dry weeds.

Riven breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that the one making the noise was a hare.

"It seems you are quite wary, Miss Raven."

Suddenly, a voice came from behind Riven.

"Who?!"

Riven immediately turned around and aimed the magic in her hands at the person who was coming.

She quickly saw who was standing in front of her.

Contrary to Riven's expectation, the person who suddenly appeared was not a vicious criminal, but an avant-garde and fashionable man wearing a brown suit, tie and sunglasses.

The other person was a little thin, but his clothes were formal and his hair was combed meticulously.

The man with a smile on his face looked at Raven who was full of vigilance, "Don't be nervous, Miss Raven, I'm not a villain."

"who are you?"

"I'm Collins."

The man who called himself Collins bowed slightly to Raven.

The way he spoke was slow and elegant.

"Do I know you, Collins?"

Raven asked him with a frown on her face.

"No, you don't know me now, but I know you, Miss Raven. I witnessed you fighting General Zod in the Battle of Metropolis. I was amazed at the strength of your family. I couldn't imagine that there were such incredible humans in this world, and not just one."

Collins exclaimed, taking a step closer to Raven.

"Stop!"

Ruiwen stopped the other party, "I can smell a strong smell of blood on you. If you have ill intentions, I will not be polite to you!"

She could feel that the guy in front of her was not a good person.

"Smell of blood? This is normal, because I was created for killing. But don't worry, my killing is not directed at you, Miss Raven."

"Really? But I don't trust you. Why are you sending crows to watch over our farm?"

Riven asked him sharply.

"crow?"

Collins glanced at the crow on her shoulder and said, "You mean the crow that's watching you? No, I didn't send it."

"You didn't send them?"

"No, of course not. Its name is Jessami. I am not its owner. The Sandman is."

When Riven heard the other party say the name of the Sandman, her face changed slightly.

"You know the Sandman?"

"Yes, I know him very well, and what's worse is that he has gotten out of control."

Collins said something that shocked Raven even more.

But she knew that the sandbags and rubies used by her father were the magic weapons of the sleeper.

If the other party escapes from captivity, he will definitely take back his things, which may cause even greater trouble.

Looking at the stunned Riven, Collins shook his head and said, "The Endless Family is not someone you can easily mess with." "The Endless Family?"

Riven frowned and looked at Collins.

"It seems your father didn't tell you, Miss Raven. You don't think that the God of Death is the only one in control, do you? The Reaper of Life has a family, including the God of Sleep, the God of Desire, the God of Fate, and the God of Despair."

Collins held out his hand, and the mist lingered around it.

"A few years ago, Mabry Ella from Georgetown obtained a book called The Book of Magdalene. This book contained a method to summon the angel of death. So Mabry Ella summoned the angel of death with the help of a group of sorcerers, but something unexpected happened. A god of mischief deceived everyone. Under his deception, the angel of death was not summoned, but another member of the Endless Family, the sleep demon, was summoned."

Collins slowly told Raven the story of the past.

"The God of Mischief stole the three artifacts of the Sandman - the mask, the sandbag, and the ruby. The Sandman was imprisoned by Mabry Ella. All his magic power was in his three artifacts. He lost his magic power and could not escape. He was imprisoned like this."

Collins said this, looking at Raven meaningfully, "Until one day, the Sandman was released due to an accident."

"Ms. Riven, do you think that once he gets out, he will try to find his artifact as soon as possible?"

Listening to Collins' question, Raven pondered for a moment and asked, "Is he also the god of the Endless Family?"

"No, he is more powerful than God. Aren't humans ruled by dreams?"

Collins adjusted his tie and said, "But don't worry. Now all three of his magic weapons are in your father's hands. I have seen your father's power. Even if the Sandman himself comes, it won't be that easy for him to take them back. Just be alert to him and don't let him take his things back."

Raven narrowed her eyes, "Who are you? Why do you know all this? Why are you helping us?"

"You have a lot of questions that I don't know how to answer, Miss Raven, but I have enough patience for you."

Collins smiled at her and said, "Let's put it this way. The Sandman created me, but once he's free, he'll take it all back."

"I see, just like Leila, you are a creature of nightmare created by the magic of the Sandman, correct?"

Riven immediately thought of Lyra from Injustice.

Collins felt a little strange when he heard the name "Leila", "Who is Leila?"

"You won't know. Never mind. Let's continue talking about the Sandman. So, in order to prevent yourself from being absorbed by the Sandman, you decided to help us?"

"Yes, but now"

Collins suddenly stopped what he was doing and looked at a tall tree standing in the dark night.

".We are being watched."

He bent down, picked up a stone from the ground, and threw it at the crow hiding in the darkness on the tree.

After seeing the other party's actions, Riven quickly noticed the crow hiding in the tree.

After receiving Riven's order, "Fukin" immediately flew towards his compatriot - another crow.

At the same time, a ball of black magic emitting powerful force was released from Riven's body.

The magic power instantly condensed to form a huge black shadow of a crow.

The "crow shadow" exuding powerful force rushed to the fleeing crow at lightning speed in front of Collins' astonished eyes.

The "Crow Shadow" instantly wrapped around the fleeing opponent and pulled him down from the air.

Riven released a magical shadow and caught the crow that was about to escape.

Grabbing the struggling crow with one hand, Raven asked Collins: "Is this the Jessime you were talking about?"

"Yes, that's it."

Collins was a little surprised. He didn't expect Raven to be able to catch Jessime.

"It's impossible for it to tip off."

After capturing Jessami, Riven naturally would not let her go out to report to Sandman.

"If that Sandman is here to negotiate, I won't do anything to him. If he wants to harm Dad, let him do it."

Raven grabbed the struggling crow Jessami and said to Collins in a firm tone: "As long as I am here, no one can hurt my father."

"Even if the other party is a god, I will still attack him."

Riven stared at the crow in her hand, and a crystal flashed on her forehead.

The next day, early in the morning.

As soon as Peter came downstairs, he saw A-Zu standing in front of the TV.

"What are you watching on the news, John?"

Peter thought Zu was still reading the report about the Battle of Metropolis.

"It's the news from the next town, Dad."

A Zu said to Peter who was coming downstairs: "While we were busy fighting Zod, a serial murder occurred in the neighboring town of Whit."

"Serial murder case?"

After hearing what Zu said, Peter walked over to the TV and looked at the news report.

"A few weeks ago, the body of 25-year-old Jack Mendenhall was found in a trash can. The body was wrapped in plastic and tape. A forensic examination showed that the throat was cut and he died of excessive blood loss. Two days later, another victim named Sarah was found. She was also 25 years old. She died in the same way. Her throat was cut and she died of shock."

"Last night, the police found an unidentified body near a hot spring hotel. The cause of death was a puncture in the heart. The police are currently investigating the identity of the deceased. At the same time, the police are offering a reward of $25000 for clues about the murderer."

Watching the report on TV, Azu shrugged his shoulders and said to Peter, "It seems that the police in the next town are not very capable and have to ask the citizens for help."
