On the other hand, the expressions of Gachou and Prosciutto, who were playing cards with her, were not so pleasant.
"Boss?" Risotto was the first to react, and quickly stood up.
Immediately afterward, Rachel noticed him and quickly stood up to bow to Diablo, saying, "Greetings, Father!"
Seeing Rachel, who was older than him, call him father, Diablo felt...nothing special.
Joseph, that nearly 100-year-old man, still has to call himself grandpa. What's so special about that?
"Are you... playing poker?" Diablo asked knowingly.
The boss's arrival made them all nervous. Although they didn't have a mission, they were, after all, an assassination squad, essentially the knife of the Passion Organization.
Their relaxed attitude made it understandable that the boss was angry, so they were all prepared to accept punishment.
Diablo, however, acted out of character, pointing at the gloating Gacho and saying, "Gacho, don't think I didn't see it. You two lost, pay up!"
Upon hearing this, Prosciutto had no objection, since he had indeed lost and should give Rachel the money.
Jiaqiu, on the other hand, looked reluctant to leave. He had only intended to have some fun, but he had become increasingly addicted and was now out of money to play.
If he keeps playing like this, he might have to pawn his underwear!
"Boss, is there any work to do?" Even though Rachel called him "father" repeatedly, Risotto was too embarrassed to call Diablo "father."
It wasn't that she disliked him, but rather that she was simply shy.
"It's nothing serious, sit down and we can talk while we play." Diablo casually took off his coat and tossed it to Big Radish, then sat down on the ground.
Seeing this, the others also sat down.
"Actually, it's nothing much, just arranging for Bucciarati and the others to take Tobio out for some training," Diavolo said as he dealt the cards.
This time, Gachu didn't act recklessly; instead, he chose to retreat to the audience.
The other two people he played with were Rachel and Risotto.
“Why won’t we go? We have time too,” Risotto replied, having taken out his cards.
"There's no need for that, just go for three!"
"That puts my mind at ease. It's four!"
"What are you talking about? Right, number two." Rachel looked at them blankly.
"Oh, right, I have something else to give you!" Diablo changed the subject.
"Lucy is about to give birth, and there can be no mistakes in the handling of her body. Therefore, I need you to protect her around the clock for the next two days."
Hearing that it was a mission to protect someone, Bessie became a little nervous. "But we're assassins, we don't know how to protect people."
"It's alright! You just need to take care of the person who's threatening you, right? It's that simple!" Diablo smiled kindly.
After playing a few rounds, Diablo got up and left, deciding to go home.
"No need to see me off, it's fine."
"Father, please take care on your journey!" Rachel was as enthusiastic as ever.
In the last few rounds, Rachel kept letting Diablo pass, which allowed Diablo to win a lot of hands.
"Rachel, why are you deliberately losing money?" Jiaqiu was very puzzled; he didn't understand the point of doing so.
"It's just a little money. Making the elders happy is the most important thing. Besides, Father personally came to assign you tasks. See how much he values you!"
Rachel's words earned her a speechless look from Gacho, "Just a little bit..."
"Yeah, I didn't lose anything anyway. I just won those from you guys."
"you……"
Rachel activated her skill, "Borrowing Flowers to Offer to Buddha," and the effect was outstanding!
Chapter 473 Emptying the Mind
"Lucy, how are you feeling?"
Jacqueline asked with concern.
Lucy's belly grew very big in just one day, and at this rate, she would give birth in less than two days.
Because Lucy had conceived a saint's remains once, she had already made the necessary preparations.
Hertpanz is now inseparable from her all day, which makes Diego extremely jealous.
But Hertpanz didn't have time to deal with him right away; the body was about to be delivered, and there couldn't be any mistakes.
Seeing Mira and the others staring at her lower abdomen with curiosity, even Lucy, who had lived a lifetime, felt a little embarrassed.
"Is pregnancy strange? Why are you all reacting so strongly? Like you've never seen anything like it before," Lucy asked, very curious.
Upon hearing her question, Mira admitted that the people present didn't really know much about it, since none of them had ever been pregnant.
“What? Never seen her before? Then Trish…” Lucy realized her own blind spot.
"Oh, that little girl was born to my brother-in-law's first girlfriend. When my sister and I met him, Trish was already three or four years old!"
Hearing about their family's situation, Lucy nodded, but then another question came to mind.
"Wait a minute, how many wives has Mr. Diablo had?"
This question touched on a bit of privacy, and Lucy was prepared not to be answered, but Mira dared to say anything.
"Two. The first is Trish's birth mother, Donatella, and the second is my sister."
As soon as Mira finished speaking, Lucy and Gloria looked at her with puzzled expressions, as if asking, "What about you?"
"What? Do I count too?" Mira asked, feigning ignorance.
But seeing their intense gazes fixed on her, Mira finally nodded in agreement, "Okay, okay, count me in, that makes three."
Three wives... a magnificent number.
"Since there are only three, and neither you nor Ms. Jacqueline have had children, then who gave birth to Anna Sui?" Lucy was completely dumbfounded.
She thought she understood the family, but she never expected to be proven wrong so suddenly.
“Anna Sui, that kid isn’t related to my brother-in-law by blood at all. He was adopted a few years ago,” Mira said casually.
Of course, despite saying that, they treated Anna Sui as if she were their own daughter, and Anna Sui had no intention of deceiving herself, so she was well aware that she was adopted.
Although there is no blood relation, the affection between them and their family is genuine.
“I don’t believe it, it’s impossible.” Lucy shook her head firmly. “I would believe you even if you said Trish wasn’t Diablo’s biological daughter, but how could Anna Sui not be Diablo’s biological daughter?”
Even biological children don't necessarily look this alike; it's like mitosis, right?
"Let me show you the paternity test report. Even the doctor who wrote it has gone crazy." Mira handed over a report.
When Lucy saw the words "no blood relation" above, her mind went completely blank.
Born to my mother (unfounded association)
"How many things do you guys still not know?" Lucy sighed, rubbing her forehead.
While they were talking, Diablo returned home.
"Chatting with a pregnant woman?" Diablo glanced at Lucy's lower abdomen and wondered whether the cracks in the body could be repaired.
"Hmm, why are you back so early?" Jacqueline got up and took his coat.
“Nothing serious. By the way, I sent Bucciarati and his team to San Francisco on a mission. They might not be back for the next couple of days,” Diablo said.
Upon hearing this news, Trish became anxious and jumped to her feet. "Why didn't you tell me? You old geezer!"
Why should I greet you?
Diablo seemed unconcerned by Trish's questioning, and even walked up to her, looking down at her condescendingly.
"Trish, say less." Although she knew her father wouldn't lay a hand on her, Gloria still advised Trish to keep quiet.
Trish also inherited Diablo's stubbornness, refusing to back down, and just stared at him with her head up.
The father and daughter stared at each other, bewildered.
“I must remind you,” Diablo spoke first, poking Trish’s forehead with his right index finger. “I have ordered that my son does not need to report to you.”
"Our daughter-in-law!"
Trish is devastated to lose her status as a beloved daughter!
This scene made Ames, who was watching the show from the sidelines, burst into laughter.
Diablo took the opportunity to pick up Ames and wave her in front of Trish, saying, "I have a new daughter to pamper now, so you can find whoever you want as a daughter-in-law, it's none of my business!"
Seeing him like this, Trish was on the verge of tears, then turned to Jacqueline, "Mom~"
"Alright, alright, you know your father all too well." Jacqueline immediately reached out and hugged Trish, gently stroking her head.
"He just likes to tease you. That's what he says, but when has he ever stopped spoiling you?"
Lucy couldn't help but feel a little envious of such a harmonious family, because she herself was born into a large family.
Besides his parents, he has an older brother, two younger brothers, and two younger sisters.
But his own family wasn't doing so well; in fact, they were quite poor.
Compared to their family, my own family is a disaster.
Fortunately, she met the love of her life, although they did not have a child together, and they did not even cross that line.
But they are still very happy.
……
"Can he accomplish your plan? I have a feeling it's a bit risky," Cassandra said, looking at the little child crawling in the distance with a hint of curiosity.
The soul of that guy named Johnny was no different from that of an ordinary person, except that it was a little purer.
She didn't know how someone like that could possess the power to destroy the world.
Ahriman looked at the child in the distance with a smile, "Don't underestimate him. If it's just about raw strength, he's the one most likely to break through the barriers between worlds."
The five-pointed star behind the child's neck shone brightly.
"Furthermore, my soul has reacted; something big is about to happen, and I must send someone out to get involved!"
