You don't even want to call me godfather

……

"Ah! I'm full. I'm full."

After dinner, Raphael leaned back in his chair, touching his belly, smiling with enjoyment on his face.

"Raphael, it's better not to shout in public."

"Eh~ But it's really delicious," Raphael responded to Azazel without thinking, and then turned his attention to Koshei, "The Godfather really has good taste!"

"Well... it's just a random restaurant. I'm not very familiar with Rutland."

Koshe pulled out a piece of tissue and wiped the oil stains from the corners of his mouth while speaking.

It was at this moment that Koshe noticed a familiar figure walking into the hotel behind Azazel and Raphael.

"Hey, isn't that Ben Hong from your team?"

Azazel and Raphael turned around after hearing this and met the eyes of Ben Hong who was scanning the hotel as if looking for something.

Then, Ben Hong walked towards them.

"Hey~ Benhong, you're late," Raphael still looked heartless and joked with Benhong, "We have already finished eating."

"No, I'm not here to eat," Ben Hong stopped at the table and looked at Azazel and Raphael. "Ou Ya asked me to inform you that there is a new mission. We need to return to the notary office immediately to discuss countermeasures."

Having said that, Ben Hong's gaze shifted towards Koshe and Iris intentionally or unintentionally, with a complex emotion in his eyes.

"It seems to be a particularly urgent and important task."

Chapter 66: Short Vacation

"It would be great if there were only the two of us in the world, just me and my brother Abraham."

'Hmm? What are you talking about, Gui'er, don't you still have your mother and those friends?'

'My mother is always busy with her own things, and those friends will not always be by my side. I sincerely hope that everyone is here, but no one is by my side. However, only brother Abrhan is different.'

"Gui Er..."

"Yes, the only one who really cares about me is Brother Abraham, so..."

so……

Abraham sat alone on the bed, the balcony door was open, and a few rays of sunlight shone into the room and fell on his body.

But he just looked at the floor beneath his feet, in a daze.

"Abe Khan," Bo Ye suddenly opened the door and said to him, "Come downstairs quickly, it's time to eat."

"Um……"

Abraham came back to his senses, he slowly stood up and took a deep breath.

"What are you daydreaming about?" Seeing Abraham like this, Bo Ye tilted his head slightly, a little puzzled, "You and Ou Ya didn't talk about anything that would make you unhappy, right? Why do you look so unhappy?"

"...No, it's nothing."

Abraham sighed, walked to the door, brushed past Bo Ye, and left the room.

Looking at Abraham's gloomy back, Boye stroked his chin, as if thinking about something.

……

At the dinner table, Abel Khan, Boyi and Kule sat around the table and ate a simple meal.

"Abraham, what are you going to do in the next period of time?"

Looking at Abel Khan who was staring at the food in a daze, Boye asked in a pretended nonchalant tone.

"Huh?" Abraham was stunned for a moment before he reacted. He used chopsticks to pick at the rice in the bowl and said absentmindedly, "I don't know either. My mind feels a little messy."

"According to Adam's plan, if the mission is successful, we will leave Rutland tomorrow," Kuler said at this time. She put the food into her mouth while writing something on a piece of paper. "And the mission time is tonight, which means we can only relax until today."

"You make it sound like we're on vacation," Bo Ye couldn't help but tease, "But this vacation is a little too short."

"It would be great if I could really have a vacation," Kuler put down his pen and paper and sighed, "I don't want to stay in Rutland for even a second."

"Then why don't you relax before the final mission?" Bo Ye seemed to suddenly remember something when she said this. She looked at Abel Khan and said, "I remember you used to live by the river, Abel Khan, how about we drive to the river for a ride?"

"If you want, I'm fine."

Abraham obviously didn't pay attention to Boyi's words and just agreed ambiguously.

"Okay, then take the things you'll need tonight with you. After the ride, you can start the mission directly."

He did what he said. Bo Ye put down his bowl and chopsticks and went to look for the car keys.

"Are you all right, Abraham?"

Looking at Abraham, whose mental state was completely different from before, and Boyi, who had not gone out to relax for a long time, Kule asked with some concern.

"No, it's okay," Abraham shook his head. He stood up, leaving the food untouched. "Perhaps, I should go out and relax."

……

By the river, Bo Ye stopped the car on the side of the road, turned off the engine, and got out first.

Abrhan and Kule followed closely behind. They left their guns in the car and only kept a pistol on their bodies in case of emergency.

"Hey, Abraham," Bo Ye sat down on the grass by the river, looking at the dilapidated buildings across the river. She suddenly asked Abraham, "Come to think of it, when you left here before, were the houses over there so dilapidated?"

"I used to live there," Abraham also sat down on the lawn, looking at the buildings on the other side of the river. "It's only been a year since Gui'er became the executor and I became a fallen angel, and this place has become like this..."

"You really can act as if nothing has happened," Kuler stood behind the two of them. She only glanced at the other side of the river before shifting her attention to observing the surroundings. "I thought this would be your sad place, but...it turns out that we haven't even known each other for a year. Suddenly, it feels like time has passed very slowly."

"For me, perhaps the memories of Gui'er here will be more vivid," Abraham shook his head and smiled bitterly, "but it also reminds me of my dead father and mother."

"If that's the case, then..." Bo Ye looked puzzled when he heard this, "If you're going to a sad place, why did you agree to go on this trip?"

"Why... I came here so that I would not forget that Gui'er is still waiting for me," Abraham smiled, pretending to be strong as if nothing had happened. "I came here because the more I miss and remember the past, the more I can treat the people around me more gently and cherish what I have now."

"Abel Khan..." Listening to Abel Khan's words, Bo Yi felt mixed emotions, but after a moment, she smiled helplessly, "Well, there's nothing I can do. We've been together for so long, and we've become a team without even realizing it."

"The dead have nothing to worry about, but the living are weak after all. Although it is a bit too much to say so, there is nothing we can do about it," Abraham's eyes gradually became a little blurry, looking at the setting sun, he couldn't help but sigh, "No matter what, we can't leave our feelings behind."

"So what are you going to do about Gui'er?" Bo Yi suddenly mentioned, "In Adam's plan tonight, it seems that there is no mention of how to rescue her."

"Adam promised me that he would reunite Gui'er with me. He promised me that," Abraham responded without hesitation. "I believe in Adam. It was he who saved my life. Otherwise, I would not be alive today. For so long, everything has gone as Adam predicted. So until today, I still trust him and will fulfill his promise."

"You are really loyal to him. I am a little ashamed of yourself," Bo Ye shook his head with empathy. "But it is true that we were all saved by Adam and gathered here because we need his help. Unconsciously, so much time has passed. I have also experienced a sense of 'home'."

"Home……"

Abraham closed his eyes and felt the breeze blowing past him.

"Ah... yes, home... and my family..."

Chapter 67: Unpredictable

"The border has been closed, sir. Because of the International Conference to be held today, only entry is allowed, and exit is not allowed."

At the Lateran immigration point, a border guard is explaining to Kosh Ejie why he cannot leave the country.

It is now certain that the idea of ​​leaving Rutland early is not feasible, but combined with Clowell's previous attitude, Koshe always feels that things are not that simple.

"The order from above is to lift the blockade the next day," An Shibai, who was sitting nearby and browsing his phone, suddenly spoke up, "You seem to be in a hurry, is there something urgent?"

"Ah, there's a problem in my country, and I need to go back and deal with it," Koshe lied. He observed the reactions of the administrator and An Shibai, trying to find a way to compromise. "The International Conference is over, so there should be no need to continue the blockade, right?"

"Sorry, we are just following orders." Hearing this, An Shibai put down his phone. He looked at Koshe's face and said after a moment, "Well, the higher-ups only said that the lockdown will be lifted the next day, but didn't say when exactly. If there is something urgent, come back after midnight."

"Anshibai?"

The border administrator seemed confused by An Shibai's words, but just as he was about to say something, he was stopped by An Shibai.

"Is this the extent of your compromise..." Koshe thought for a moment, and finally responded helplessly, "Thank you anyway. I'll be there at midnight. Let's go, Iris."

Looking at the backs of Koshe and Iris as they left, An Shibai lazily lay back in his chair and picked up his phone again, as if no conversation had just taken place.

"An Shibai, what are you thinking about?" The border administrator was puzzled. He asked An Shibai, "Although you are the executor assigned by the notary office, isn't it a bit of tampering with the order to do so..."

"Tampering with orders?" An Shibai frowned slightly, his eyes moved to the administrator, and he retorted calmly, "After twelve o'clock is tomorrow, is there anything wrong with that?"

"But……"

"Besides, you also said that I am an executor assigned here. Do you think I want to do such boring work?" An Shibai did not give the administrator a chance to speak, and continued, "After the blockade is lifted, my mission will be completed. Maybe you have to stay here and check people entering and leaving the country day and night, but I still have work to do."

"Work?" The administrator was stunned for a moment, then asked, "Did the notary office assign you a new job?"

“My job is to do nothing.”

After making such irresponsible remarks, An Shibai no longer cared about the administrator's reaction and immersed himself in the world of the Internet.

……

"I was careless. How could I leave Rutland so easily? I should have thought of it earlier."

On the way back to the hotel, Koshe couldn't help but sigh at his own recklessness.

He couldn't be sure if there were any "eyes" watching him. If Clowell knew his little thoughts, things would be troublesome.

"So... Koshei," Iris couldn't help but ask after seeing Koshei thinking about countermeasures while walking, "What are you worried about?"

Turning his head to look at Iris, Koshei finally realized that he had not told her about Clowell before because of the opening of the meeting.

"Perhaps it's because I touched some of Lateran's interests, which is why someone might want to kill me now," Koshe briefly summarized it in one sentence. "You were not in the reception room at the time. Now the meeting is over, and we have to find a way to escape from Lateran."

"In short, it's about escaping from pursuit, right?" Iris knew Koshei well and immediately understood what he meant. "So what should we do now?"

"Don't show any panic. Stay calm in the hotel room until someone comes looking for us. Wait until midnight and leave Rutland."

As they were talking, the two had already returned to the hotel, and downstairs, Ou Ya and his group were waiting for them.

"Ou Ya," seeing that it was an acquaintance, Koshe stepped forward and asked, "Why are you here? Didn't Ben Hong say that you had a new mission?"

"Ah, that's right, Godfather." Ou Ya's eyes kept glancing to the side, occasionally looking at Koshei, and he explained, "Recently... the recent crime rate index has been a little abnormal. There will be a crackdown on criminal dens tonight, so the border has also been blocked. Now not only you, but all the representatives of other countries have sent a team of people to protect you individually."

"Is that so..." There was nothing wrong with what Ou Ya said, but perhaps because of nervousness, Koshei always felt that something was wrong. Looking at the depressed Azazel and others, Koshei wanted to ask something else, "Then..."

"Go back to your room and rest, Godfather," Ou Ya interrupted him, "It's not very peaceful outside right now. There is almost no place that can be called absolutely safe. There have been many things to do in the past few days, and Asa and the others are a little tired."

"Then...you should also pay attention to your safety."

Koshe knew the current situation and it was not appropriate for him to continue dealing with it, so he took Iris with him and went into the hotel.

"...Uncle Ou Ya," Raphael spoke slowly after the two men disappeared from view, "Are we...really going to do this?"

"This time, it's not a mission from the notary office, but a direct order from the military commander of the Holy See," Ou Ya sighed. He didn't dare to look at the children, but looked at the street involuntarily. "We only have two choices, obey or disobey. We all know the consequences of the latter. I can't gamble with your lives."

"But……"

Raphael was about to protest loudly, but Azazel held her shoulders.

"We often do things we don't want to do, Raphael," Azazel lowered his head and said something he didn't even believe. "Unfortunately, we can't choose the script of life, and we can only work hard to play it well."

"But asking us to kill the Godfather and our friends with our own hands is really..."

Azazel's words this time did not have a comforting effect. On the contrary, they made Raphael's emotions even more intense.

"Raphael!" Ou Ya shouted angrily. He knew that these children had never experienced such a thing, but he had no choice but to speak harshly, "Think about your identity and figure out why you are standing here. We serve Lateran, not for our own desires. Even if you are uneasy and even if you can't make up your mind to do it, you have to carry out the mission."

"Then I'll quit!" Hearing this, Raphael said without hesitation, "I can't execute my own friends with my own hands. You can think whatever you want, but I will never carry out this mission!"

Raphael stared at Ou Ya. She wished Ou Ya could find a way to give up this mission, but looking at the indifferent people, she understood that this time it was inevitable.

Thinking of this, she lowered her head, ignored the thoughts of others, and hurriedly ran away in one direction.

"Raphael!"

Azazel was about to chase after him, but Ou Ya stopped him with his hand.

"Let her go," Ou Ya said as he watched Raphael leave. "If any of you can't stand it, or feel that you are incapable of carrying out this mission, just quit. I can complete the mission even if I'm alone."

Azazel was silent, he lowered his head, and after a moment, he slapped Ou Ya's hand away and ran in the direction Raphael left.

Ou Ya stood there, he shook the hand that Azazel had slapped away, and remained silent for a long time.

"Ben Hong, aren't you leaving?"

He raised his head and looked at the quiet Ben Hong.

"No," Ben Hong shook her head. She clenched the rifle in her hand and said, "I'll go with you. There are two of them. You can't handle it alone."
