Ghost Task Force

Chapter 213 Maybe It's True
Looking at the five elder assassins who had experienced countless disputes, even Liang Ye's heartbeat accelerated uncontrollably.

Liang Ye didn't know how the five elders existed when they were young. He knew very well that even though the five elders were very old, their influence on the world was still astonishing.

"I know you came here under pressure, not just to attend Lei Mu's funeral; but also because of his granddaughter, Claire." Nicholas stared at Liang Ye with cloudy but cold eyes, and said slowly : "About this girl, I want to remind you that he was once trained in our fraternity."

Nicholas seemed to want to show in his words that he would not let Claire return to Shenzhou.

This can also be said to be normal, because most of the members of the brotherhood are inherited from the family; it is very common in the brotherhood that the family is all assassins.

Lei Mu's son is dead, and now he is gone; as Lei Mu's granddaughter, Claire should indeed take his place.

What Nicholas said was not unreasonable. After all, Liang Ye was not a member of the Brotherhood, so it was impossible to think on the side of the Brotherhood.

"I understand." Liang Ye nodded slightly, but still said firmly: "You should have seen Claire's current situation. She is no longer suitable to be an assassin, at least not now. Moreover, her fate should be decided by She decides for herself, she has the right to decide whether she should take over Lei Mu's position."

In theory, Liang Ye must be better.

If a person doesn't even have the chance to choose his own destiny, then his life is too dark.

The five elders looked at each other, to Liang Ye's surprise; they all nodded in unison, expressing their approval of Liang Ye's words.

"You are right. We will give her the chance to choose her own destiny; if she chooses to return to China, then please help take care of her." Nicholas said.

Liang Ye nodded vigorously, and replied: "Of course, this is something I promised Lei Mu."

Speaking of Lei Mu, Nicholas' eyes darkened slightly, and he said with some emotion: "His death is a huge loss to the entire Brotherhood."

"I really want to know what mission he was performing before he died." Liang Ye asked.

Liang Ye knew that his question was a bit redundant, he was not a member of the brotherhood, so the elders would not tell him.

Sure enough, as Liang Ye thought, Nicholas shook his head and said: "We can't tell you, you were trained in the Brotherhood, you know our rules."

Although he couldn't get a definite answer, Liang Ye didn't ask any further; because no matter how much he asked, it was impossible for these elders to speak.

"We are very grateful that you can come, and hope that you can attend on time tomorrow." Nicholas said.

He issued an order to evict guests, how could Liang Ye not hear it.

However, he didn't intend to leave just like that.

"I hope to see Claire." Liang Ye stood up and said.

Liang Ye was uncertain. If Nicholas refused to let him see Claire, then he had no reason to insist, after all, the funeral had not yet been held.

But to Liang Ye's surprise, Nicholas didn't stop him, but said, "Yes, she's in the garden, you can see her when you go in."

Liang Ye gave Nicholas a grateful look, and then walked towards the back garden of the villa.

The garden is just behind the villa and can be reached by pushing the door in the hall.

Watching Liang Ye leave, Nicholas stood up. He first glanced at the direction Liang Ye was leaving, and then slowly said: "It's a pity that he is not one of us, otherwise I will definitely let him take Lei Mu's place."

"The dragon will always soar above the blue sky, I hope he will not become our enemy in the future." Another elder followed suit.

There is a large swimming pool in the back garden of the villa, while the rest of the place is full of flowers and plants. The cobblestone path runs through the entire garden, and has several branches that connect to other houses.

There is a white swing in the garden, which looks very elegant from a distance.

Sitting on the swing was a short girl, wearing a red dress, holding the rope of the swing gently with her slender hands.

The light of the moon shone on this garden, making the person on the swing look very lonely.

That girl was Claire, Claire who lost two relatives in a short time.

The moment Liang Ye saw her back, he instantly felt the sadness emanating from her.

"Claire."

Liang Ye called her softly, then walked towards the swing.

Claire turned her head slowly, and when she saw Liang Ye walking towards her; her eyes were a little turbulent, but she quickly regained her composure.

She knew Liang Ye would come because she had seen Liang Ye's training in the fraternity.

Moreover, before her personality changed, she had some small crushes on Liang Ye.

Good-looking boys can easily attract the attention of girls.

Not to mention that Claire was still in adolescence, and it was normal for her to have a heartbeat at that time.

However, now she is an extremely timid little girl, a former assassin, reduced to the point of being bullied by ordinary students.

Liang Ye sat on the swing next to Claire, and then turned to look at the pale little girl.

After pursing his lips, Liang Ye said, "I'm sorry, Claire."

Regarding Lei Mu's death, Liang Ye felt very sorry and also a little sad.

Lei Mu is a very powerful assassin and a good teacher; without him, there would be no Liang Ye today.

And this is why Liang Ye wants to take good care of Claire.

What Liang Ye said, Claire didn't make too many waves; she just lowered her head, her long hair just casually draped over her shoulders.

Her reaction was expected by Liang Ye. Liang Ye organized his words, and then said again: "You know, your father, your grandpa, before he died, you were most worried about you. Especially your grandpa , he doesn’t want you in a fraternity, he doesn’t want you repeating the path your parents took.”

However, before Liang Ye finished speaking, Claire raised her head, looked into his eyes and said, "I heard that life will never end, and death is just another life."

"Is this true?" Claire asked.

Her words immediately made Liang Ye fall into silence, this question; how could he know, because he never died.

And he is an atheist, and he will not believe what those religions say.

"I don't know, Claire." Liang Ye tried hard to squeeze out a smile, and said softly: "But if you really think so, maybe, it's true."
