You don't even want to call me godfather

Seeing that Azazel and Raphael were also getting back on track, Abr Khan breathed a sigh of relief.

"Boye, can you still move?"

He adjusted his shoulders and back which were sore from the fall, replaced the surviving magazine in his hand, loaded the gun, and looked at Bo Ye.

"Ah, I won't fall down until the goal is achieved," Bo Ye adjusted his status and aimed his gun at the stairs. He glanced at Azazel and Raphael, "Then the next step is to provide cover fire."

"Every time I enter a battlefield, I get excited," Abraham quickly left the bunker and came to the outer wall of the stairs. He leaned against the wall and joked, "Regardless of motivation or purpose, I just throw myself into the war. I am no different from a so-called madman..."

"Uhh—!!"

The sudden cry of pain reached the ears of everyone on the rooftop, and almost everyone's body shook, with goose bumps running down their backs.

"Koshei?"

Kule was leaning against the edge of the rooftop, still counting the bullets in her hand. From the corner of her eye, she saw Koshei slowly stand up. She raised her head and looked at him, but was speechless because of his appearance.

At this moment, Koshei was staring into the distance as if he had lost his mind. His lips were slightly open, and his teeth were tightly clenched. He let out bursts of heart-wrenching screams and shouts. Even though he was extremely calm, his masseter muscles were bulging.

Then, a taut string seemed to break.

Koshe walked towards Azazel and Raphael and stopped beside them.

They both looked up at the same time and were frightened by his expression.

"Don't stop attacking."

He said this calmly, then stepped onto the guardrail. Then, in the shocked eyes of the others, he took a step forward and jumped down.

"Hey!"

Abraham, who was the first to notice something was wrong, rushed forward, but he was too late to stop Koshei and his hand grabbed nothing.

"Kosh-e!"

What was even more unexpected was that the next moment after Koshe jumped off the building, Kuler followed closely behind, flipped over the guardrail and jumped down as well.

Abraham was stunned, Boye's computer also crashed, not to mention the two children next to him.

An eerie silence permeated among the few people until they heard continuous gunshots and shouts from downstairs, and then they came to their senses.

Abraham immediately grabbed the railing and looked down.

Koshei and Kule were seen rushing towards the bridge in a way that was almost impossible, amidst the hail of bullets.

Chapter 103: Make a prompt decision

"Hey!"

Abraham's hand was suspended in the air, his eyes wide open, looking in disbelief at the direction where Koshei jumped down the stairs.

How could this happen?

In those few seconds that seemed like stillness, this was the only thought that came to Abraham's mind.

When he was about to be framed, it was Adam who sent Hessi to extend an olive branch to him. Adam took him to appreciate things he had never seen before, let him see some unknown aspects of Lateran, and even protected his sister in secret.

He regarded Adam as his mentor, and he would complete any task Adam entrusted to him as perfectly as possible no matter what.

Even if it was to protect Koshei, his mentor who had not yet grown up, a task that he felt was a little delicate, he would do it with all his might.

This is his last mission in Lateran. After this, he will rescue his sister Guier and then take Guier away from Lateran, a land that has long disappointed him.

That's how it should be, but...

"Kosh-e!"

Before Abr Khan could come to his senses, Kule passed by him and jumped down from the top of the clock tower following Koshei in front of him.

There are no words to describe Abraham's mood at the moment. Not only him, but everyone present was disturbed by this sudden change.

Not to mention Azazel who was already a little shaken, Boyi, who was temporarily in charge of this mission, was also panicked for a moment.

"Uncle, look down."

Just when the atmosphere was about to reach freezing point, Raphael, who was looking at the street below through a sniper scope, suddenly spoke.

Uncle...

Although he wanted to complain, Abraham could no longer care about so many details at this time. He carefully moved to the edge of the rooftop and then heard bursts of gunfire.

He leaned his head out slightly and looked down, and only breathed a sigh of relief when he saw two figures quickly walking on the avenue.

Really...should I say they are the same person?

This unpredictable style of action was exactly like the Adam he knew.

……

Koshe landed on the ground almost silently, with the hound pup attached to his entire body, bearing all the impact of the fall for him.

No one noticed him yet. Most of the executors were rushing up the building. They could never have imagined that someone would jump directly from the roof.

As Koshei thought about this, the pair of wolf ears on his head suddenly trembled.

He took a few steps forward, then stretched out his hand backwards. The hound pups attached to his body flowed down his hand and gathered into a pool of black fluid on the ground.

"Puff-"

Kuler fell squarely into the fluid, avoiding the fate of being smashed to pieces.

But she showed no shock or confusion at the presence of the hound pups, and simply slowly climbed out of the fluid.

Koshe didn't say much about this. She was not surprised that Kule knew about the existence of the hound cubs. After all, she had been through so many things with Adam, so it was no exaggeration to say that she knew him inside and out.

But now Koshe's mind was not on Kule at all. He was staring straight at the bridge in the distance in front of him, and the vague figure on the bridge.

"Find a place to hide. I don't need you to get involved in what happens next."

He said this, and without caring about Kule's reaction, he took a step forward and ran forward.

Kule wanted to say something, but considering their current situation, she didn't want to expose their position by speaking out and let other executors be aware of their presence, so she just followed Koshe silently.

As if he had expected Kule to do this, Koshe did not look back, but the hound cub that had turned into liquid earlier climbed onto Kule's body, attached to her body surface, and protected her.

But as expected, no matter how quiet their footsteps were, it only took a matter of minutes for two people moving quickly in the middle of the street to be discovered.

They had not even walked a dozen meters before they were discovered by the executor who had previously launched the rocket from a distance.

"Uoooohhh!"

He immediately raised the rocket launcher and aimed it at Koshei.

The rocket was fired at him with a trail of smoke. At a distance of only a few meters, this was the most risky yet most effective way to deal with the situation.

But Koshei did not hesitate. He suddenly accelerated forward without hesitation, and the rocket passed through the gap between him and Kuler and exploded at a safe distance behind them.

"I won't let you get close to Commander Klovel!"

Seeing that the rocket had no effect and Koshei was already very close, the executioner decisively threw away the rocket launcher, pulled out the bayonet from the outside of his thigh, and swung the knife at Koshei's neck as he rushed towards him.

But his biggest mistake was choosing to fight Koshei at close range.

Koshe simply bent down to avoid the knife. He pushed off the ground with his feet and used the force of rushing forward to crash into the arms of the executioner.

"Uh--"

The executioner stood there with his eyes wide open, while Koshei pulled the dagger out of his abdomen calmly and walked past him as if there was no hindrance at all.

The executioner knelt on the ground, blood pouring down, staining the ground in front of him red. He wanted to get the walkie-talkie to notify the other executors, but he found that Koshe's knife had pierced through the walkie-talkie as well.

He just fell down like that, without any effect.

Only Kule looked at him more when he passed by him. Kule just felt sorry for this poor man who had given his loyalty to the wrong person.

Unfortunately, she later caught up with Koshei.

……

"Is it our turn?"

On the rooftop of a building behind the bridge, two figures were standing there, overlooking the battlefield and the scene on the bridge.

"Well, it's almost done." Adam put his hands behind his back and squinted his eyes, looking at Koshe's figure in the distance. "I'm really sorry to have troubled you for so long."

"Hmph... you're still saying this now," Cecia raised her hands, reached out to the halo above her head and the wings behind her, and took them off, "But if this happens, I'll be bored for a while."

"Then just follow the other me. I'll feel more at ease knowing you're by his side."

Adam suggested, his eyes unconsciously shifting to the halo and wings that Cecia had thrown aside.

So that thing can be disassembled?

"I told you a long time ago that it was just a disguise," Cecilia seemed to know what Adam was thinking. She stretched her muscles and murmured, "Well, but you also know that it is impossible for me to stay with him."

"That's true..." Adam shook his head helplessly and said, "But I have indeed troubled you over the years, Idhaila."

Cecilia did not respond. After stretching her body, she grabbed her right arm tightly with her left hand, and then exerted force to break her arm.

"I really hope this is the last time I do this. It hurts."

Although she complained, there was no hint of complaint in her tone.

She threw the broken arm from the roof and disappeared from sight in an instant. Then, a slight vibration began to come from deep underground.

Cecilia leaned down and spread her arms as if gathering strength. After a few seconds, something seemed to be wriggling under her skin, trying to pierce her flesh and come out to the outside world.

"Come on, pay off all the debts of the past decade."

Adam took a deep breath and held his hand out to her.

Chapter 104: Hidden Arrow

"come yet……"

On the bridge, Clowell removed his foot from Iris's knee and muttered as he looked at the two figures approaching quickly not far away.

There was a suppressed anger in his eyes. No matter what the cost, or how the Pope and the people would view him afterwards, he was ready.

Even if the fish dies and the net is broken, it is not a pity.

As for Koshe, he stopped and stood on the edge of the bridge, breathing slightly.

He caught a glimpse of Iris out of the corner of his eye. She was sitting and leaning against the railing, with a large pool of blood spreading out from under her.

Her condition was very bad. She seemed to be unable to hear any sounds from the outside world. She did not respond to Koshe's arrival. She just breathed heavily, with the sound of some liquid accumulated in her throat.

Kule arrived soon after, but Koshe slowly stretched out a hand to the side, signaling her not to act rashly.

His eyes were fixed on Clowell, he held a dagger in his right hand in front of him, and a pistol in his left hand at his side, ready for battle.

At the same time, Clowell looked at Koshe sideways, and he also raised his hand to press down the gun that Xila had raised, and turned to walk towards Koshe.

As if by tacit understanding, the two decided to settle their debts personally.

As they slowly walked towards each other, they were also prepared to catch the other party off guard.

In addition to the pistol in his hand, Clowell also had another pistol hidden in his sleeves, and in Koshe's sleeves and coat were countless daggers, as well as a crossbow that had been loaded with arrows in advance.

He didn't know what was in the crossbow arrow, but he no longer cared. Rather, the more dangerous the thing inside was, the better it would be for him.

"clatter."

The two men steadied their feet almost at the same time, looking each other in the eyes, each holding a pistol and a hidden weapon in their hands. The only sound of the people at the scene was the sound of the gunfire coming from the bell tower in the distance.

"I knew you would come, Koshe," Clowell said after a few seconds of silence, "This woman on the ground must be very important to you, like a family member."

"..."

Koshe didn't say anything, his finger was tightly gripping the trigger, and the thumb of his other hand was tightly hooked on the dagger in his sleeve.

"People always say that time will smooth out many things, but I don't think so. I should have told you this in the church," Clowell continued to talk to himself when he saw that Koshe didn't respond. "And you also said that time will smooth out everything, but there are some things that even time can't do anything about."

"What do you want to say, Clowell?"

Finally, Koshe couldn't help interrupting him. Iris's injuries were very serious, and every second of delay could put his life in danger. As Crowell was the military commander of Lateran, Koshe had better defeat him while ensuring his life.

For him, this might be the most difficult battle.

"...You are really impatient, Koshe." Seeing Koshe's reaction, Clovel lowered his head slightly and said in a serious tone, "I don't know if you still remember the mother and daughter who died tragically in your hands, the innocent couple who were forced to suffer physical and mental torture, my wife and daughter... For this reason, I have waited for more than ten years, just to meet you again and settle this matter face to face."

"I don't understand what you're talking about," Koshei slowly lowered his body, as if he was ready to rush towards Clowell at any time. Although he knew that it was useless to dissuade him, he still said, "Maybe there is a misunderstanding between us. It's not too late to stop now."
