You don't even want to call me godfather

"I can't do that for now."

'Can't do it?'

Koshe's heart sank, realizing that things seemed to be far beyond his expectations.

"You were deprived of your physical freedom, but the connection between you and me is conscious," Msisha explained to Koshei, "Just like the little girl named Shipka, or Ω, and Hexi, I can undoubtedly help you deal with their spiritual invasion of you, but if it is a physical invasion like this, given the degree of connection between you and me, I can't even interfere at all."

"Is there no other way?"

Hearing this, Koshe asked with the last glimmer of hope.

"The easiest way is to establish a physical connection with me, but I don't recommend you to do so, because the consequences are disastrous, and your body will certainly not be able to withstand my presence," Msisha's words were undoubtedly another heavy hammer for Koshe, but He immediately said, "But you can rest assured that I can see everything that happens in the outside world, and I will help you to the best of my ability. You will not be hurt now, and you will not be hurt in the future."

"And I just need to wait quietly, that's all, you mean to say, "If he wasn't unable to do anything, Koshei would have laughed helplessly at this moment, 'Msisha, ah, Msisha, please, can you get to the point directly in the future? It won't do you any good to drive me crazy.'

"You are right. I will also try to change my mind about your suggestion," said Msisha. Unexpectedly, compared to the casual Msisha in the past, he now seemed to care about Koshe's thoughts. "Hmm? It seems that your torture will soon end."

“Huh? What—”

Koshe suddenly felt a strong sense of dizziness, as if a force was pulling him out of this empty world.

Light gradually appeared before his eyes, but his consciousness was still a little fuzzy.

"Drip-drip-"

The sounds of medical equipment began to ring in his ears, and people were talking around him, but he couldn't hear what they were saying.

It's a little difficult to breathe.

He felt someone put an oxygen mask on him, flipped up his eyelids, and shone a flashlight into his eyes.

The light from the flashlight was so blinding that he wanted to close his eyes.

This action made the people around him relax a lot, and they started talking again.

Not long after, Koshe's consciousness gradually sank into the depths.

……

When Koshe opened his eyes again, he saw the white ceiling of the hospital.

Because of the light, his vision was a little blurry, but it returned to normal after a dozen seconds.

He tried to sit up with difficulty using his weak arms, but found that his body was pressed down by something.

He lowered his head and saw a pair of ghost horns.

It was Si Chan. At this moment, she was sitting beside the bed, with her upper body lying on him, and seemed to be asleep.

"Um...Koshei...Koshei? Are you awake?"

Si Chan, sensing the unusual movement, woke up, and when he saw Koshei staring at him, he shouted excitedly.

"Uh-what happened?"

Koshe raised his hand and covered his head which was still aching, and did not react to the current situation for a while.

"Koshei! You're worrying me to death!"

But before Koshei could get an answer, Sichan suddenly hugged him and started crying with tears and snot.

Her well-trained arms almost suffocated Koshe.

"If you keep holding me like this, even if Godfather is fine, he will probably be strangled to death, Sichan."

Just as Koshe was about to pat Sichan on the back to remind her, Abraham's voice reached his ears.

"Ah, sorry sorry."

Upon hearing this, Sichan immediately loosened his arm, allowing Koshe to breathe again.

Koshe looked in the direction of the voice and saw Abraham standing at the door of the ward, leaning against the wall.

"As soon as you woke up, I called the doctor, and he should be on the way now, Godfather."

Abrhan was as calm and reliable as ever. He opened the door of the ward and welcomed the doctor in.

In a somewhat confused state, Koshei underwent various examinations by the doctor, who then hung the stethoscope back around his neck.

"As far as I can understand medically, there is nothing wrong with your body now." After the examination, the doctor seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, but then he looked to the other side, "But your friend..."

Koshe followed the doctor's line of sight and looked to his left, only to find that there was another bed next to him, and the person lying on the bed was Armando.

Armando should have just finished the operation not long ago. The arrow in his chest had been removed. Maybe it was indeed not a vital injury, but the situation was still not optimistic. His body was even connected to assisted breathing facilities.

Shipka, on the other hand, was sleeping soundly at the end of the bed. Even the noise of the cicadas just now could not wake her up.

Chapter 83 Gathering Together

Looking at Armando who was also lying on the hospital bed, Koshe finally remembered what had happened.

Armando was shot with an arrow. He fought with the man, and when he had the upper hand, his five senses were taken away. And after that...

"Since you are fine now, I will not disturb your rest any more. If you need anything, please call me at any time. I hope your friend will recover soon."

While I was thinking, the doctor left in a hurry as if he had something urgent to do.

"Why is that doctor... a little strange?" Koshei asked as he watched the doctor swiftly walk around Abraham at the door and leave. "It feels like... he's avoiding someone, and he's even using honorifics."

"Because after we learned that you were sent to the hospital and rushed here, the doctor was first threatened with a knife by Sichan and had to wake you up, and then was picked up by Indra to ask for details," Abraham sighed and shook his head helplessly, "If it were me, I would probably do the same thing."

"Hey hey hey..."

Seeing that Abrhan mercilessly exposed her actions, Sichan looked away embarrassedly.

"Silchan, you..." Koshei was a little helpless about this, but he couldn't say anything. "But I didn't expect Indra's reaction to be so big."

"Because of the so-called loyalty of the Victorian gang, it seems that as long as they become friends, they are willing to go through fire and water for each other," Abraham smiled, looking a little envious, "It's really pure, even I admire it for it."

"Where is she now? Vina doesn't seem to be here either?"

"Because of what Indra did to the doctor, in order to prevent such medical disputes from happening again, Vina dragged her out to buy things early, and Luca was also dragged to carry things," Abraham explained, "But I also informed them that the Godfather had awakened, and they should be on their way back now."

"Boom!"

As soon as Abel Khan finished speaking, the door of the ward was suddenly kicked open.

"..." Indra rushed in, took a deep breath, and seemed to want to shout something, but after seeing Armando on the other bed and recalling Vina's accusations, she finally suppressed her emotions and said to Koshei in a relatively calm tone, "You finally woke up."

Veena followed Indra in slowly, with her unique sour lollipop in her mouth.

Only Sheffield walked in with difficulty, carrying dozens of bags full of things.

"Yeah, you're awake." Koshei's eyes swept over the gathered people. For some reason, he felt a little emotional. "Thank you."

"Tsk, did you break your brain?"

Indra frowned. She didn't understand why Koshei suddenly wanted to thank them and even walked up to them and touched his forehead.

"No, I'm fine," Koshei said, gently pushing Indra's hand away. "That's why I wanted to thank you."

"…I don't understand…"

Indra was silent for a moment.

Maybe she couldn't accept such pretentious dialogue, or maybe there was some other reason.

Somehow, she looked away.

"Godfather, are you...are you okay?"

Sheffield, who was the last to enter the ward, put down all the bags in his hands, bent over, supported his knees, and spoke breathlessly.

"As you can see, there's nothing serious going on," Koshei said jokingly, sitting on the bed and swinging his arms back and forth. "But you don't look like you're okay."

"Godfather! Listen to me, women are all devils! There is no limit to their shopping desires!"

Hearing this, Sheffield finally couldn't hold it in any longer and bitterly confessed the fact that he was oppressed by Vina and Indra.

"Take this as a test, Luca." Even the most serious Abrhan stepped forward and put his arm around Sheffield's shoulder, saying maliciously, "I remember the Godfather told you this when we boarded the ship."

Looking at the petrified Sheffield, everyone gradually relaxed, and their hearts, which had been hanging in the balance because of Koshe's hospitalization, finally settled down.

"But speaking of it, why did I end up in the hospital, Abrakhan?" After joking, Koshei became serious again. He glanced at Armando who was still unconscious next to him and asked Abrakhan, "I clearly remember... I was talking to -"

"Let me explain this, Mr. Cascade."

Just at this moment, another person appeared at the door of the ward, and his voice attracted the attention of everyone in the ward.

"Arthur Wilder..." After seeing the man's face, Koshe's expression immediately darkened. "What are you doing here?"

He did not forget that he and Arthur were still in a hostile relationship, and they should not meet and talk like this until the debt of the last life was settled.

"We need to talk, Mr. Cascade."

Arthur was not surprised by Koshe's attitude, or rather, this should be the correct attitude.

"..."

Koshe didn't reply. He stared at Arthur unkindly. If he hadn't been sitting on the bed in his hospital gown, he might have drawn his gun.

"Although it's a bit strange for me to say this, it was Mr. Wilder who sent you and Mr. Osvid to the hospital," Abraham said again, "I think it's okay for you to listen to what he wants to say first, and then make a decision. We will be waiting outside the door, and you can call us at any time."

After saying this, Abraham left the ward first.

The others followed closely behind, and Sichan even came to the end of Armando's bed, lifted up Shipka, who was sleeping soundly, from under his armpit and carried him away.

"Eh? Eh?"

Shipka, who was awakened by the movement of the cicada, uttered a few confused words in a daze and was then taken out.

Soon, only Koshe and Arthur were left in the ward, as well as Armando who was unconscious on another bed.

"..." Koshei took a deep breath, looked at Arthur and said, "So, what do you want to say?"

"I think the last thing you remember is a man with a bow," Arthur closed the door of the ward and began to talk to Koshe. "That man is my subordinate, one of the black gloves who is different from the three white gloves you killed. He is Hodel Falkland. You should be familiar with this surname, right, Mr. Cascade?"

"..."

Koshe didn't answer, he just looked at Arthur and accepted the fact.

The Falklands were one of the five great families that were exterminated in Syracuse in the old days. Although Koshe had long known that there were still remnants of the Falklands in Colombia, he had never expected to meet them in this way.

"If that's the case, then there should be no need for me to explain why Hodel holds such a grudge against you."

Under Koshe's gaze, Arthur slowly walked to his bedside, picked up an apple from the fruit basket on the bedside table, and started playing with it.

"So, where is he now?" Koshe looked at Arthur's casual attitude and asked, "Hodel Falkland, since he is the Black Glove under your command, can I also regard this as the beginning of the struggle between you and me?"

Arthur paused, remained silent for a few seconds, and then put the apple back into the basket.

"I'm sorry to tell you that this fight may be over, Mr. Cascade," Arthur sat down on the chair beside the bed, leaning back slightly and looking closely at Koshe, "because Hodel is dead."

"died?"

Koshe couldn't help but frown. He naturally didn't believe Arthur's words, because he only remembered that his five senses were taken away by Hodel. In that situation, he didn't have the ability to kill Hodel at all.

"It seems you don't remember, so let me help you review it." Arthur seemed to find Koshe's reaction funny. He smiled slightly unkindly, then looked into Koshe's eyes and said in a low voice, "A black giant wolf with blue-purple flames and smoke killed Hodel in an almost brutal way. This is the scene I saw. I think you should know what that giant wolf is, Mr. Cascade."

Chapter 84: Soft and Hard

Koshe was silent.

The giant wolf described by Arthur was undoubtedly the Hound of Tindalos.

But he couldn't understand how he could summon the hounds when he was clearly trapped and unable to move.

But then, he recalled the burning sensation like fire that came along with the irritability when he was in that void.

And as Msisha said, help him in all His power and ensure that no harm comes to him.

All these signs kept proving that what Arthur said was true, but because of this, Koshe couldn't help but panic.

"Leaving aside Hodel, did the hunting... that giant wolf cause any other damage or casualties?"

Seeing Koshei's slightly panicked look, Arthur narrowed his eyes and confirmed his guess.

"You can rest assured about this," he shook his head, calming Koshe's worries. "Before this, I evacuated the residents of the nearby lower city, and the giant wolf only appeared on the outskirts of the lower city. After killing Hodel, it disappeared in the smoke. There were no additional casualties, and no facilities were damaged. As for the giant wolf's roar, I also sent away the irrelevant people on the grounds of foreign biological invasion."

Hearing this, Koshe finally breathed a sigh of relief.

If the appearance of the hounds caused casualties among innocent people, the consequences of this incident would be truly unimaginable.

"A few days ago, you told me in my office that I still owed you a life." At this point, after using the suspension bridge effect to make Koshe's mood fluctuate, Arthur got to the point. "Now, Hodel, who is more valuable than the white gloves, is dead. Although I am unwilling to end this situation where I am obviously at a disadvantage, can the hatred between you and me be written off?"
