You don't even want to call me godfather

……

In a prestigious hospital in Rutland, Koshe was walking quickly in the corridor.

After all, he was the one who brought the military commander to court. Koshei was now well-known in Lateran, and everyone who passed by him would take a second look at him.

"Koshei, you're here."

Outside a ward, Abraham stood at the door, acting as a guard. When he saw Koshei coming, he forced himself to cheer up.

After struggling and fighting with the executor from the notary office for a whole night, it would be a lie to say that he was not tired. Even Abraham could hardly hold on any longer.

But he couldn't rest, and his mind was also in an excited state. The biggest reason was -

"Brother, why don't you come in and have a rest--" At this time, the door of the ward opened, and a woman Koshei had never seen before appeared in front of him, "Eh? You are..."

"Koshei Cascade," Koshei put his hand on his chest and introduced himself. Thinking of the way the woman addressed Abraham just now, he guessed, "You must be the sister that Abraham mentioned."

"Just call me Guier, Mr. Cascade," Guier said, in a serious and respectful manner. "I heard from them,"

Abraham stood aside, his eyes twitching slightly. The Gui'er he had in mind was never like this. How come she was like a completely different person in front of Koshe?

As if noticing Abraham's gaze, Gui'er glanced at him secretly with an imperceptible playful expression.

"No need to use honorifics, just call me Koshei," Koshei raised the corner of his mouth. His attention was not on Gui'er, but on the ward behind her. "If you don't mind, can you let me in?"

"Ah, of course."

Gui'er also realized that he was blocking the way, so he wisely retreated back into the ward, and Koshei and Abraham followed him in.

This ward was specially prepared for them by the Pope, and no one would come to disturb them. Several people had already gathered in the ward.

Iris was sitting on the hospital bed, looking out the window. Raphael was sitting on a chair beside the bed, dozing off. Azazel was leaning against the wall, also a little drowsy. Only Ben Hong remained awake.

Boye was sitting on the other side of the ward, and standing next to her was Hexi.

After Iris, Hexi, and Guier were rescued, Raphael used Originium techniques to treat them.

Hexi and Guier both suffered external injuries from torture. After recovering from their injuries, they regained their spirits. Only Iris was in a coma for a while due to heavy bleeding.

Of these familiar faces, only Ou Ya and Kule are not here.

"Iris, you're awake." Seeing that Iris had woken up, Koshe walked to her bedside, squatted down, and asked with concern, "How do you feel?"

"It has recovered. Don't worry, Koshe."

Iris's condition did seem to be much better, and Koshe was relieved.

Then, his eyes swept over everyone in the room and finally landed on He Xi.

Like Gui'er, Hexi was also someone he had never seen before, but thanks to the partial memories Adam had shared with him, he was able to recognize the other person's identity.

It can be said that this is Adam’s oldest team, and these people who originally belonged to Adam’s fallen angel organization are now gathered here.

It’s a strange feeling to be with a group of people trained by my future self.

"How about taking a few more days off, Iris?"

Koshe shook this strange thought out of his mind, looked at Iris and asked.

"No need," Iris shook her head and looked out the window again. "Syracuse also needs to be taken care of. It would be better to go back as soon as possible."

"……I see."

Koshe was not going to compete with Iris. He knew that he would not be able to win against her. Since Iris's condition had improved a lot now, he decided to go along with her idea.

The discharge procedures were completed quickly, and the nine people standing downstairs of the hospital realized a serious problem.

How to bring so many people back to Syracuse?

There were only three horses, and it was too much of a stretch to carry nine people, not to mention the weak Iris.

At this moment, a brand new car stopped in front of them.

The car window slowly rolled down and a familiar face appeared in front of them.

"Asa, Raphael, Benhong," the man was none other than the absent Ouya. He placed his arm on the window sill and said sternly to the three children of the execution team, "Don't even think about running to Syracuse with me. Stay in the Lateran."

"Eh? Why—"

The first to protest was naturally Raphael, who was the most dissatisfied with Lateran.

Azazel and Ben Hong didn't care. Xila had always just been following orders, and she would not cause any harm to Azazel.

Ben Hong's sister Maud was also arrested after Clovel. Although she is still being questioned by the Pope himself, she will probably not cause any trouble, and Ben Hong does not have to worry about being used as a tool again.

"You are so old, and you are still thinking about these things," Ou Ya pointed at the three of them and scolded them righteously, "Wait until you have the strength of a Class 1 executor before you think about this. Otherwise, it's impossible. Now go back to the notary office and wait for instructions. The damage to the streets caused by Cloville needs to be cleaned up, and you also go and help."

"Okay, okay, got it," Raphael replied helplessly, and then he listlessly dragged Azazel away in the direction of the notary office. Before leaving, he did not forget to say hello to Koshe and the others, "We'll be leaving first, remember to come to Lateran next time!"

Ben Hong bowed slightly to them and left.

"Huh... these guys," Ou Ya sighed deeply. After noticing that Koshei and the others were all looking at him, he unlocked the car door and gestured to them, "Come on in. We've changed to a medium-sized car this time. It should be able to carry the six of you."

……

"Is this okay, Ouya?"

In the car, Hexi, who was sitting in the passenger seat, crossed his arms and looked forward, but he was asking Ou Ya.

"Don't worry, it's time for those kids to grow up on their own. I'm the one who least wants to stay in Rutland."

Ou Ya smiled, and his attitude proved that he was also ready to leave with Koshei, but there was no reluctance in his tone, and it could be seen that he was also a very open-minded person.

Soon, the car arrived at the exit. Koshe looked out the window, thinking about something.

Until now, there is still one person who has not shown up.

He didn't know what Kule and Abraham had said, but Abraham and the others had never mentioned Kule, so Kule's final choice must have been to stay.

It is not difficult to understand that Koshei would not force her. He just cared more about what would be waiting for Kuler who was lost in the timeline.

As if sensing something, Koshe's gaze uncontrollably looked towards a high place.

With the help of enhanced senses, Koshei was able to vaguely see that there seemed to be a person standing there.

Is this a farewell?

As if he found his own thoughts ridiculous, Koshei couldn't help but smile and looked away.

And high up in the distance, Kule was standing there, staring in the direction of the exit.

The weeds growing in the abyss cannot adapt to the sunlight. People like her should just stay in the past.

"Goodbye, Koshe."

she whispered.

……

"Think, thump."

The sound of horse hooves continued to ring out beside the moving cars.

Koshe rode the black horse, keeping the same speed as the carriage.

Abel Khan and Boyi followed behind on two other horses.

It’s not that riding in a car is bad, but it would be a bit immoral not to take away the three horses they rode to Lateran, so Abraham and Boyi were pulled off the car and used as laborers.

The journey of the seven people lasted half a day, and when they were about to arrive in Syracuse, the sky began to darken.

"That moving city with bright lights must be Syracuse, right?"

Abraham leaned over his horse, and with his sharp eyes he saw the light in the distance, a warm light.

But Koshei noticed something was wrong.

"No," he felt a bad premonition in his heart, "the streets of Syracuse are not so bright at night."

His vision continued to extend forward, and with the help of Msissa, he could see Syracuse several miles away.

It's burning.

"Snapped!"

Koshe pulled the rope tight, pressed his legs together and pressed them against the horse's belly. He threw the rope and the black horse under him started running at full speed, instantly surpassing the speed of Ou Ya's car.

Abel Khan and Boye noticed that something was wrong with Koshei, so they also leaned down and sped up their horses.

In less than a few minutes, Koshei arrived at the entrance to Syracuse.

He slowed down, rode his horse, and set foot on the land of Syracuse.

He saw crowds fleeing in all directions, he heard the sound of an explosion in the city, he saw buildings collapsing in the distance, and he heard people crying and praying.

He saw a flaming figure spread its wings, flying rapidly in the air, rushing around, crashing through buildings and causing fire.

He was silent, glaring.

The second volume, the Lateran chapter (The Storm is in Progress), has finally come to a successful conclusion.

And when I was sorting out the outline for the third volume, I discovered something horrifying.

The third volume seems to have at least six heroines.

The names of the heroines can be revealed in advance, including the original characters of the game and the author's original characters, which are:

Elizaveta Yaros Alisa, Garuda, Lavinia Falcone (Rebuke), Damocles, Vina, Indra.

These seven female protagonists are currently tentatively confirmed. Due to plot requirements, Iris’ role will be temporarily reduced.

The character of Elizaveta is currently the author's favorite character. Although she has not appeared yet, the character design has been drawn. When this character first appears, the character design will be released together.

By the way, the next volume’s story takes place in Colombia, and its title is “The Sword Hanging Over the Head”. This title is related to Damocles among the seven heroines. In fact, this character has already appeared, but has never had a proper name. Now, with the development of the plot, he has got a real name.

As a city-state judge with a sense of justice, there will inevitably be some sparks between him and the mafia family on the Koshe side. Although the initial conflict is mainly caused by some prejudices and dissatisfaction, everything will pass after the misunderstanding is resolved.

As for Vina and Indra, the Glasgow Gang is now temporarily staying in Syracuse. There will be more connections and intersections between them and Koshe, and finally after going through some things, they will stand on the same front.

(In fact, the main reason why Indra can be the heroine is because the author likes her)

The last one is Garuda. This character will appear in the first chapter of the third volume. His life story is similar to that of Ω in the first volume. He is also a poor child.

Let’s talk about some things in the Columbia chapter of Volume 3.

In the third volume, a character voted for by a friend of the author will appear.

A male character named Arthur Wilder, the leader of a Colombian underground gang and a representative of a party in the Colombian House of Representatives. Many stories, both good and bad, will happen between him and Koche.

Finally, there is another foreshadowing.

In the second volume, the Colombian representative who attended the Universal Conference, the science and technology ambassador, had the surname "Providence", which was closely related to Providence in the first volume.

that's all.

Volume 3: The Sword Hanging from the Top

Chapter 1 Garuda

"Think, thump."

On the busy street, there was a slow sound of horse hooves.

A figure sat on the back of a black horse, moving forward on this road.

The reconstruction of Syracuse Street is proceeding in an orderly manner. Not only the members of the Cascade family, but also members of the Glasgow Gang, people from several large business families, and some citizens have participated in the reconstruction.

From time to time they would stop what they were doing and watch the figure on horseback passing by them.

Finally, the horse stopped in front of a recently renovated mansion. The man on the horse dismounted and tied the rope to the fence at the door.

"godfather."

At the door of the mansion was the long-awaited Hesi. It took some time for the Sakotas who came to Syracuse from Lateran to get used to calling him Koshei.

"How's that matter going?"
