You don't even want to call me godfather

Thinking of this, Koshe took a step with some difficulty and walked into the commercial street.

He adapted quickly, and after walking for a while, he gradually got used to the noise. The only remaining problem was... what to buy?

Although there were many people in the commercial street, it was still a bit difficult for him to ask such questions to a stranger.

As he thought about this, Koshe's eyes fell on the female clerk in the store closest to him.

It might be a good idea to ask questions naturally under the pretext of buying something.

With this in mind, Koshe walked into the store.

Perhaps influenced by the overall style of Syracuse, even in the commercial street, one can occasionally see some shops that are out of place here, and the shop he walked into happened to be an antique shop.

And for reasons that Koshe had been thinking about, he even overlooked the name of the store.

Above the door of the shop that he had missed, the words "Bray Antique Shop" were clearly written.

"Well... welcome, our store allows guests to visit on their own."

The female clerk in the store was sitting behind a table looking at her mobile phone. She didn't even raise her head. She just threw down a sentence and stopped talking.

Seeing this, Koshe simply toured the store.

Because he suddenly remembered that before going to Rutland, he seemed to have promised Hong that he would bring her a gift.

On the day he returned, Garuda had already attacked his house. The first thing he saw when he walked into the house was the half-dead Hong hanging on the living room lamp.

Koshe sent her to the hospital, and then asked Loft to help him take care of Hong, but Loft also had to deal with many problems, and finally the task of taking care of Hong fell on Mrs. Helen.

He never saw Hong again after that. Due to his busy schedule, he didn't have any extra time to visit her.

"Hmm? Doll?"

While viewing these antiques, Koshe noticed a shelf in the corner that displayed some dolls, some in human shape, and some in animal shape, which was a bit inconsistent with the nature of this store.

"That's my father's hobby, but since he has no use for it and can't give it away, he just put it up for sale," the female clerk who heard Koshe's question spoke up with a bit of complaint in her tone, "Really...it's been so long, and you still treat me like a child."

"I see," Koshei heard, as if he had thought of something. He swept his eyes over the rows of dolls, then picked up one of the bear dolls. On his way to the female clerk, he picked up an item from another shelf, walked up to her, put the two items on the table, and asked, "May I know your father's name?"

"Huh? Why are you asking this--" When the female clerk heard Koshei's question, she immediately raised her head in surprise, but her words got stuck in her throat, "Godfather?"

The clerk's raising of her head allowed Koshe to see her face clearly. She looked very young, probably younger than him. And sure enough, this face was somewhat similar to the two people he remembered.

"Hmm... they really look alike," Koshe stared at her face, totally unaware of how stimulating his behavior was to her. He just kept talking to himself, "If I'm not mistaken, your father must be Mr. Bligh. May I ask your name, young lady?"

"... Wendys... Bray..."

Wendys stammered out her name, which confirmed Koshe's guess.

The girl in front of him was none other than Mr. Bligh’s other daughter, Wendes Bligh, and Mr. Bligh’s eldest daughter was none other than Annatta Bligh, one of the members of the Syracuse Parliament.

Koshe, who had had many interactions with the Bligh family before, naturally knew that Mr. Bligh was the only antique dealer in Syracuse who had a hobby of making puppets.

"Miss Wendys, can I call you that?" Koshe smiled and tried to get close to Wendys politely. "I have some connections with your father and your sister, and Mr. Bligh is a friend of my father..."

But Wendys didn't listen to what Koshe said. Her mind was now full of her rude attitude towards Koshe when she was looking down at her phone just now.

While Koshe was talking, she hurriedly calculated the prices of the goods on a piece of paper.

A doll, and an antique kaleidoscope.

"About October last year—"

“Well… this is the total amount of money!”

After calculating the price, Wendys immediately interrupted Koshe's words, then slapped a box and a bag on the table, and suddenly squatted behind the table without making any sound.

"Um... Miss Wendys?"

Koshe scratched his hair in confusion, because he didn't care about the other party's previous attitude at all, and naturally didn't notice the reason for Wendy's emotions.

However, judging from the current situation, it is probably impossible to ask questions.

As his plan failed, Koshei naturally saw no point in staying any longer. He put the money on the table, put the kaleidoscope into a box, put the teddy bear into the bag, and left.

"When you see Mr. Bligh, please give him my regards, Miss Wendys."

Before leaving, Koshe said one last thing.

After he left, Wendys carefully stuck her head out. After making sure that Koshe had not made a comeback, she stood up and took a few deep breaths.

"Huh... so nervous..." She recalled her terrible service attitude with some fear, then scratched her hair in annoyance and muttered to herself, "But if I think about it carefully, the Godfather doesn't seem as difficult to approach as I imagined?"

Wendys was struggling here, while Koshe, who had just walked away, could hear her mumbling clearly.

Just nervous?

But this is also a good opportunity, an opportunity to get a close look at the Syracuse people's views and attitudes towards him.

Koshe thought so as he lifted the bag in his hand.

I didn't realize at all that I had forgotten about the important things.

Chapter 19 New Colors

"Mom! Look!"

On the side of the road, a little girl was holding a bubble ring in her hand. As she ran, bubbles came out of the ring one after another. She turned back and shouted happily to her mother.

"Slow down! Don't fall!"

The girl's mother walked quickly behind her, watching her playing in front with some concern.

"ah!"

But just as the girl turned around to look at her mother, her body bumped into a tall figure while running forward and she fell to the ground.

"Are you okay?"

The figure leaned down, stretched out a hand to the girl, and pulled her up from the ground while she was still a little dazed.

"Yeah, I'm fine, big brother."

The girl neither cried nor made a fuss. Instead, she nodded to the other person very politely.

"Xiao Ya!" When the girl's mother saw her fall, she rushed forward and grabbed her shoulders, looking for any injuries on her body, "Are you okay?"

"It's okay, Mom." The girl wiped her dirty skirt, then raised her head to look at the person she had just bumped into, then looked back at her mother, "This big brother helped me up."

The girl's mother also raised her head and was about to apologize to the other party, but after seeing his face, she forgot what to say for a moment.

"teach……"

Just as she was about to say that name, Koshei put a finger in front of his lips and made a gesture of silence.

Then he reached out and touched the girl's head.

"Madam's daughter is really polite," Koshe smiled and looked at the confused girl kindly for a while, "I think as a parent, you must have taught her well."

“Ah, well…” The girl’s mother was a little at a loss, but she still suppressed her emotions as much as possible and responded calmly, “This child has been obedient since she was young, which makes me worry less.”

"A child like this will surely become an outstanding person in the future," Koshe took his hand away from the girl's head and put it in his pocket, while his other hand casually waved left and right. "Don't mind, ma'am, I'm just expressing my feelings."

As if he noticed that the girl's mother was getting increasingly nervous, Koshe stopped talking to them. After waving goodbye to the girl, he continued walking deeper into the commercial street.

The girl's mother only breathed a sigh of relief after Koshei left, and hurriedly took the girl away from there.

"flower shop?"

After walking around for a while, Koshe saw an oversized flower shop on the side of the road with many potted plants in front of the door.

He walked closer and looked at these carefully cultivated flowers and plants, and the face of irises appeared in his mind.

"godfather?"

Just at this moment, a woman holding a potted plant walked out of the store and met his eyes.

"Boye?" Koshe was also a little surprised by the arrival of this person. "Why are you here?"

Among the several Sakotas brought back from Lateran, the two women, Bo Ye and Gui Er, were the ones Koshe had the least contact with.

Not to mention Gui'er, as Abel Khan's sister, it would naturally be up to Abel Khan himself to arrange her future.

The only interaction between Bo Ye and Koshei was that he drove him to escape and gave him a Originium skill similar to resurrection.

She was arranged to live in an orphanage with Iris because Hexi had often told Koshe that he was always taken care of by Boye when he was in Lateran.

According to He Xi, although she was originally the eldest daughter of a winery, she was unexpectedly a very caring person.

Perhaps placing her with Iris would help Iris a lot, so Koshei had him move into the welfare home with this idea in mind.

"You also know the current state of Iris, Godfather," Bo Ye said frankly in response to Koshe's inquiry, "Some of the flowers and plants she planted in the welfare home have also withered due to her negligence. Although there are only a few plants, the appearance of the entire flower garden is very imperfect. I used to own a grape field, so I have some understanding of plant cultivation, so I want to help her choose some flowers that are easy to grow."

"So that's how it is..." Koshei would listen carefully to anything related to Iris. After listening to Bo Yi's general account of the whole story, he also remembered the plant that Iris gave him when he first met her, so he suggested, "How about Jiaju?"

"Gardenia... is a good idea, but it's a little inconspicuous if planted in the flowerbed," Bo Ye was a little surprised by Koshe's suggestion, but immediately rejected it mercilessly. "If you want to consider both beauty and ease of care, roses and crabapples may add new colors to the flowerbed. They have a light fragrance and are easy to maintain. But considering the situation of irises, jasmine and gardenia are also good choices."

"Um……"

Koshe only had a vague understanding of a field that he had no knowledge of at all. He only caught one key piece of information from Boye, which was that Iris had even forgotten to take care of his favorite flowers and plants, which was enough to show how worried he was.

"Ah, I accidentally said too much." Bo Ye also noticed Koshe's mood change and quickly stopped talking. She looked at her watch and quickly passed by Koshe. "Then I'll go first, Godfather. I've been busy since this morning and haven't even had a good meal yet!"

Looking at Bo Ye who was quickly escaping from his sight, Koshei came out of his thoughts after a while and then slapped his head.

"Oh no, I should have caught her and asked her that question just now."

Koshei realized it later and now it is obviously not appropriate for him to catch up with Boye again, so he has to give up this idea.

He wandered around the door of the flower shop for a while, looking at the flowers of various shapes and colors. After a long time, he put the purple iris in his hand back on the flower stand.

"Add new colors..."

Koshei thought carefully about Boye's words, then turned and left the flower shop.

He walked onto the street and continued to move deeper into the cave aimlessly.

"Hey! Stop!"

After an unknown amount of time, a shout came from far behind him.

"I'm calling you! Stop!"

The shouting voice was getting closer, and Koshe could hear the other party's hurried footsteps, coming straight towards him.

He stopped, slowly turned sideways and looked behind him.

"Finally I heard it, you bastard!"

What appeared before Koshei's eyes was a white film with gray striped hair and a rapidly enlarging fist.

"call--"

The fist wind, carrying the anger of white film, rushed straight to his face.

But Koshe didn't panic. He turned sideways and leaned back slightly. When the fist passed in front of him, he reached out and grabbed Filin's wrist. With his other hand, he went around her arm, turned around, and exerted force to throw her over his shoulder.

"Boom!"

"Fuck me!"

There was a dull thud, followed by the elegant and casual greeting of White Film. Koshe did not release her wrist, but made her face the ground and restrained her arm. If she struggled, her hand would be dislocated.

He frowned slightly, looking at the unfamiliar back of Feilin beneath him, and the strength in his hands gradually increased.

"Indra! What have you done!"

Just as Koshe was about to ask the other party about his purpose, a slightly familiar voice came into Koshe's ears.

He turned his head and met the eyes of the owner of the voice.

The person who came was Vina, the leader of the Glasgow gang who had previously fled from Victoria to Syracuse.

Chapter 20 Reason and Emotion

"Waiter, three cups of black coffee, thank you."

Koshe, Indra and Vina were sitting in a cafe.

Koshe called the waiter and ordered three cups of coffee.
