You don't even want to call me godfather

But Koshe couldn't understand why the body was placed in this repair shop. In Cascade's sphere of influence, Javi's repair shop was not worth mentioning at all.

"I say, Javi, before I come—"

Koshe turned around and was about to ask Javi more about the situation when his eyes fell on a window opposite the corpse.

The windows are located quite high, and when looking out you can't even see the roofs of other houses.

But it is precisely because of this that there is such a towering building that is extremely conspicuous.

It was a cross, and it was located in the church that Koshe was very familiar with. On the top of the church was a huge cross.

Thinking back to the scene and place where Koshe first met Lapland on the way, he couldn't help but fall silent.

Seeing Koshei's sudden silence, even Javi realized that he should not say too much now, but waited quietly for Koshei to finish his thinking.

After a long time, Koshe stood up, took off his gloves, and placed them on a workbench.

"Javi, Brocka, wait for the Godfather to arrive. If he asks about my whereabouts, tell him that I will handle this matter."

He gave orders to Javi and Brocka, and without paying attention to their reactions, he rushed straight out the door.

Sure enough, a familiar figure was standing about twenty meters away from the repair shop, as if waiting for him to appear.

The two peculiarly shaped long swords on the other party's waist further confirmed her identity.

"Lappland..."

Chapter 9 Destiny

Although it was expected, what Koshei least wanted to see was that his former friend became today's enemy.

He didn't understand why Lappland would attack the Cascade family, and even stood there nonchalantly, waiting for his arrival.

So he had to catch Lappland and interrogate him thoroughly.

If possible, even if it was just a fantasy, he hoped that all this was just a misunderstanding.

"Lappland..."

Looking at Lappland who was waiting for him not far away, Koshe took a step forward with mixed feelings.

"Hey! Over there! Come here!"

But at this moment, a burly man suddenly passed by Koshe and ran towards Lapland.

"No, wait—"

Koshe was about to speak out to stop him, but it was too late.

The man's behavior was tantamount to alerting the enemy. Not only did that shout force Lappland to leave immediately, but with Lappland's skills, it was impossible for the man to catch up with her.

Judging from the man’s attire, he was undoubtedly a member of the family.

"That child is Lappland, right?"

Just as Koshe was about to hold the man accountable, a mature voice came from behind Koshe.

"Godfather..."

Koshe turned around and when he found that the person coming was his father, he quickly lowered his head slightly and greeted him.

"If it's you, kid, there's no need to be so humble in front of me," the godfather first corrected Koshe's attitude, and then said, "Osta, who is in the same group as Javi, came to inform me of what happened here before. Can you tell me the details, Koshe?"

"Yes, Godfather..." Koshe raised his head and said, "A cadre of the family met with an accident. He was nailed to death in this car repair shop. The direction of the body was facing the direction of the church. It seems... maybe it was done by Laplande. This is just my guess."

"Lappland... I still remember that child. I haven't seen her since that day," the godfather said, leaning on a cane. "I believe in your guess, Koshe. Your intuition has always been accurate. Since you think that Lappland is the culprit of this incident, I will immediately issue a wanted notice for her."

"No, Godfather, please wait!" Koshei was anxious. The Godfather's decision was too sudden. He said hurriedly, "No matter what, it's just a guess now. Maybe Lappland just happened to be at the scene of the incident. I hope... I hope Godfather, you can give me a few days. I will investigate everything myself to prove Lappland's innocence!"

"There is no such thing as innocence in this world. You can honestly say that you have never told a lie. This is self-deception, child. If you think I don't know the truth, it is an insult to my wisdom."

The Godfather tapped the ground with his cane, as if he had decided to put an end to the matter.

"I don't mean to insult you, but..." Koshe took a step forward, his eyes filled with confusion, "I beg you, please give me some time, I will prove that everything that happened today was just an accident, Godfather, no... Father..."

"..."

The word "father" contains so many complex emotions.

"Oh, I get it. I will give you some time, but not only for the truth, but also to maintain your dignity, Koshe." The godfather was silent for a moment and sighed softly, "Remember, child, those who regard accidents as insults to their dignity will never encounter accidents again. I hope this is the last time I hear the word 'accident' from your mouth."

"Yes... Godfather," Koshei prepared to leave after his father had finally delayed the wanted order for Lappland. "Then I will--"

"By the way, Koshe," Koshe was interrupted by the godfather before he could finish his words, "You don't have any personal plans tomorrow, right?"

"Yes and no, Godfather."

"Well, I need you to rescue someone from the mental health center next to Syracuse Epanque Prison."

"Deypank Prison?" Koshe thought for a moment and asked, "Is there anyone important imprisoned there?"

"...It seems that you have forgotten a lot of things due to your busy schedule during this period, Koshe." The godfather seemed a little dissatisfied when he heard this, but he did not show it obviously. "Think about your sister. How long has it been since you last saw her?"

"younger sister……"

Only then did Koshe realize that Deipunk Prison was the prison where his sister was.

"I should have told you that a man who doesn't care about his family is not really a man at all," the godfather handed a badge to Koshei and said, "Although you are an adult and a formal member of the party, you still have many shortcomings. Take this to the mental health center tomorrow and bring your sister out."

Koshe took the badge and looked at it carefully.

"This is……"

The family crest.

Koshe looked at the family crest in surprise, then looked at his father.

The father's intention was very clear, which was to use the family's power to intimidate the doctor in charge of his sister.

Speaking of his sister, Destiny Cascade, she went to prison more than a year ago.

Because he shot a high-ranking Syracuse government official in public, even his father, the godfather, had to turn a blind eye to Destiny's imprisonment in order to avoid causing deeper conflicts.

"Some time ago, the guards at Deypank Prison forcibly sent your sister to a mental health center because she might be highly aggressive. But in fact, we all know that she has no mental illness at all. This is just a different way of torturing her."

The Godfather said so.

"But, if we bring her out in this way, won't it alert the government?"

"The limelight has passed a long time ago. Besides, the one who died was a high-ranking official, not his son. Compared with the latter, the former is a less well-known character. Even if we bring your sister out, under the protection of the family, they will not come to us for accountability."

"So... their act of transferring Destiny to the mental health center actually gave us a chance to rescue him?"

The Godfather did not agree with Koshe's words, but at the same time, he did not deny it either.

Koshe himself knew that it would be easier to snatch someone from a group of doctors than from a group of prison guards.

"Yes, I understand, Godfather, I will take care of this matter tomorrow morning."

Koshe put away the family emblem and said.

"Thank you for your help, Koshei, but after this matter is dealt with, there shouldn't be any major incidents in the short term. You can relax and have a good time then."

The godfather still had a stern face, patted Koshe's shoulder and said.

After Koshe left, the man who had driven Lappland away returned to the Godfather.

"Godfather, may I ask why you asked me to drive that girl away just now?"

The man nodded slightly and asked.

"You know, Loft, it often happens in this world that the most insignificant person, if she pays close attention, always has the opportunity to take revenge on those who are so arrogant."

"You mean... No, how is this possible, Godfather?"

"Never say it's impossible, Loft. Nothing is impossible. You know, a person has only one destiny." The Godfather looked at the direction where Koshe left for a long time before saying, "What's more... the Cascade family also owes a lot to the Laplande family."

Chapter 10: Mental Patients

Walking into the door of the mental health center, Koshei was dressed in a suit and looked particularly serious.

At this age when he should be entering society for the first time, he has a maturity that is completely different from his peers.

"Koshe Cascade."

He registered his name at the entrance registration desk. This mental health center is next to the De Ipanke Prison. Sometimes prisoners are sent here for psychological treatment, so the screening of personnel is also strict.

Following a doctor, Koshei walked through a long corridor and met the attending physician he was looking for in a consulting room at the side of the corridor.

"I remember I didn't get an appointment today."

The attending physician was typing a document on the computer. When he heard the door open, he spoke without turning his head.

"Doctor Qiao, this is the family member of a patient you are responsible for."

The doctor who brought Koshe in reminded Dr. Qiao.

"Family members?" Dr. Qiao seemed to have anticipated Koshe's arrival. He stopped his work and turned around in his swivel chair. "You go out first. I want to talk to this gentleman."

It can be seen that Dr. Qiao has a very high authority here. The doctor who led the way nodded and walked out, and did not forget to close the door of the clinic before leaving.

"Please take a seat," Dr. Qiao spread out his palm, pointed to another chair next to the computer desk, and said, "It seems we need to have a good chat for a while."

"You should know why I came here, doctor," Koshe said without hesitation. He sat down on the chair, put his fingers together, and looked at him. "It's for my good-for-nothing sister."

"Yes, I know. Since the day I was asked to take over this patient, I had anticipated today's situation, but I didn't expect this day to come so early."

"Patient?" Koshe took a breath and adjusted his sitting position so that he could lean on the soft cushion. "Destiny, she has been imprisoned in Deypank Prison for a year, and then she was suddenly diagnosed with mental illness and sent to your mental hospital. Waiting for her here are you friendly psychiatrists."

"What do you mean?" Doctor Qiao knew what Koshe meant, and asked knowingly, "When you said that you wanted to prove that a mentally ill person is not mentally ill, I don't quite understand what you mean. What do you mean?"

"Proof, maybe," Koshe took a cigarette out of the cigarette box and searched for a lighter in his pocket, "Proof that my sister does not have a mental illness, but you have arbitrarily given her this false name in order to torture her in a different way."

"Sir, smoking is prohibited in the hospital," Dr. Qiao reminded him, and then directly stated the purpose of Koshe's visit, "You want to get my patient out?"

"Yes."

Koshe put the cigarette back into the cigarette box and placed it directly on Dr. Qiao's computer desk.

"why?"

"Because, doctor, I don't think you want to have a formal interview with my father face to face, rather than in your small clinic." Koshe took out the family emblem that the godfather had given him earlier and placed it on the table together with the cigarette box. "Godfather Ulysses Cascade."

Dr. Qiao's expression was a little embarrassed for a moment, and the corners of his eyes were twitching slightly.

"It seems like you doctors have a good life here," Koshei saw that he had achieved the effect he wanted, so he stood up and paced around the clinic. He walked to a coffee machine, took two cups from the top of the coffee machine, turned around, and said, "Would you like a cup of coffee?"

"…Excuse me for a moment."

Dr. Qiao was obviously unable to cope with the current situation. He stood up, straightened his clothes, and prepared to walk out the door.

"It's okay, don't worry."

Compared to Dr. Joe, Koshe was leaning leisurely next to the coffee machine, tasting the cheap black coffee poured out of this high-end machine.

He watched Dr. Qiao leave, as if everything was already in his grasp.

Sure enough, an hour later, they came to another room where several prosecutors were sitting, and Koshe and Dr. Joe were surrounded by them. They would be responsible for deciding Destiny's future based on Dr. Joe's words.

"After many examinations, my patient, Destiny Cascade, has no mental problems. I can attest to this based on my 20 years of medical experience," Dr. Joe stood up and said to the prosecutors, "I don't think she belongs here right now. Keeping her here will only waste social resources."

After finishing his prepared lines, Dr. Qiao sat down, looking a little restless.

The prosecutors, after looking at each other in confusion for a while, reluctantly handed a letter of guarantee to Koshei.

"Di-"

The iron gate of the prison area was opened by the jailer after a shrill alarm bell, and Koshe walked behind the jailer, ready to pick up his sister.

"Mr. Cascade!" At this time, Dr. Joe ran in. He ran to Koshe's side and said to him, "Do you know what you are doing now?"

"Of course I know, I'm going to pick up my sister and go on a date with a beautiful girl."

"You have no idea what kind of person your sister is. Not even she knows."

Dr. Joe's words made Koshe pause. He turned around, looked at the doctor, and said, "I know that there are often sudden insults in society, just like you think I don't understand my sister, but I always tolerate these little things, doctor, you know what I mean."

"No, you don't understand at all. Your sister is a willful and violent mental patient. As a doctor, I must explain this to you clearly, whether you believe it or not." Dr. Qiao hurriedly took out a bottle of medicine from his pocket and stuffed it into Koshe's hand. "Although I can't stop you from taking her away, you have to take this bottle of medicine and give your sister two pills every day, otherwise there will be big trouble."

Koshe held the medicine bottle and looked at him with an unreasonable look.
