You don't even want to call me godfather

"what--"

Destiny took a sharp breath, and she felt something suddenly pierce her chest, accompanied by warm liquid entering her body and flowing into her veins.

Along with it, some tiny granular objects also enter the body and blood vessels.

After a long time, Destiny fell silent again, her breathing gradually becoming stronger from weak to smooth.

Her consciousness gradually became clearer, and she could even feel the presence of many people around her.

Finally, she opened her eyes.

Chapter 42 Please Forgive Me

"I said……"

In the camp, the mercenaries gathered in one place, looking thoughtfully at the girl who had just been brought back by Skadi.

"Move aside," the leader pushed through the crowd and came to the middle. Seeing the Ruper girl carried on Skadi's shoulders, he said, "Skadi, explain."

"On the way back, I saw something on some downed trees. The door was open and she was hanging there."

Skadi didn't realize what she had done and answered nonchalantly.

Looking at the girl's wolf ears, the leader looked around at the crowd. It seemed that the only Luper tribe in the group was -

"Zoya!" The regiment leader shouted to Zoya who was sitting under a tree not far away, "Come here!"

"Ok?"

Zoya didn't care what Skadi did or who she brought back, or rather, she didn't care about anything at all. Even when everyone rushed over to watch, she was the only one who was unmoved.

She wiped her hands on her clothes, stood up and walked into the crowd.

"What's the matter, Captain?"

"Skadi brought back a Luper. Take a look and see if you recognize him."

The leader pointed at the girl on Skadi's shoulder and said.

"Huh? How is it possible that you know each other?"

Zoya was a little unhappy, but she still came to Skadi and raised the girl's head a little under Skadi's gaze so that she could see her face more easily.

"...Skadi, put her down."

"Ok?"

"I said, put her down!"

Zoya suddenly seemed like a different person and yelled at Skadi.

Skadi laid the girl on the ground, and Zoya squatted down hurriedly to check her breath and pulse.

"Still alive... but very weak," Zoya said to herself. Suddenly, she raised her head, stood up, and grabbed Skadi's collar. "What did you do, Skadi?"

Zoya's push did not move Skadi at all. She remained expressionless as always, but a little confused.

"Wait a minute, Zoya," the captain saw this, stepped forward and pulled Zoya's arm, explaining, "Skadi didn't do anything, she just brought the girl back."

Zoya looked at Skadi, breathing heavily, but then she let go.

"Have you calmed down?" The team leader looked at Zoya, who was acting out of character, and asked, "It seems like you know her?"

"...Yes," Zoya squatted down again and used her fingers to push away the girl's hair that was scattered on her face. She said absentmindedly, "In Syracuse, the family is a force that can stand on an equal footing with the government. Although I don't know why, I will not make a mistake in recognizing this face. Every Syracuse person will not make a mistake in recognizing this face... This is the daughter of the Cascade family, Destiny Cascade. This is the godfather's daughter."

"godfather……"

The captain was silent for a moment. He had heard from Zoya about Syracuse, his family, his godfather, and the meaning of the surname Cascade.

This time, he and his team were stationed near Syracuse because Zoya was still attached to this homeland.

But he really didn't expect to be associated with the godfather of Syracuse.

After all, a force that can wrestle with a country's government is not something a person like him can deal with.

"Captain, we have to save her!"

Zoya turned her head, looked up at the head of the group and said.

"I know, Zoya, don't rush me." The captain held his forehead with one hand, obviously having a headache about the situation. He waved to a girl with sickly pale skin in the crowd, "Speranzha, come here quickly!"

Speranza, carrying a medical box, hurriedly squeezed out of the crowd and came to Destiny's side. She put the medical box next to her hand, then bent down and put her ear against Destiny's chest.

"There is still hope, but time is running out."

Speranza stood up, skillfully took out a syringe from the medical box, inserted it into her arm, and slowly drew out a tube of blood.

But just as she was about to inject the blood into Destiny's body, Zoya suddenly grabbed her arm.

"Zoya? What are you doing?"

Speranza asked, looking at her in surprise.

She tried to break free, but Zoya's hand was like a vice, holding her arm tightly.

"If I remember correctly, you have oripathy, right?" Zoya looked into her eyes and said, "The Cascade family, the godfather's direct relatives, don't have oripathy. You will harm her by doing this."

Speranza is the only blood demon in the team and joined the mercenary group much earlier than Zoya.

As a blood demon, she has a very high ability to control her own blood. In addition, her Originium skills can heal injuries to a certain extent. When other teammates are seriously injured, Speranzha will directly draw a tube of her own blood, introduce it into the Originium skills, and then inject it into the teammate's body, controlling the blood to quickly transmit her Originium skills to various parts of the body to achieve the effect of rapid healing.

"Zoya," the team leader put his hand on Zoya's shoulder and looked down at her. "I know you don't like infected people, but think about it. If you don't do this, can you find other better and faster methods right now?"

"...Captain..." Zoya's eyes revealed a kind of helplessness, and she shook her head slightly, "But, if this is the case..."

"No, this is the only way now, Zoya. If we delay any further, she will be completely hopeless. You just checked her and you should know the severity of her injuries," the team leader shook his head helplessly and said, "This is the only way."

"..."

Zoya was silent, her hands gradually loosened, leaving a few shallow marks on Speranza's pale skin.

Speranza looked up at the captain, who nodded.

"I'm sorry. Although this was to save you, but...please forgive me."

The tube of blood carrying the Originium particles was injected into the wound on Destiny's chest by Speranza's hand.

The blood quickly entered Destiny's body, and under Speranza's control, it gathered at the wound for a moment and then flowed throughout her body.

"what--"

Suddenly, Destiny's waist straightened up and she looked painful, but after a long time, she calmed down again.

His breathing and heartbeat began to slowly return to normal rhythm, and Destiny gradually opened his eyes.

"Um...are you okay? Is there anything—"

Seeing that Destiny had woken up, Speranzha came forward to ask about her condition.

But before she could finish her words, Destiny suddenly became extremely alert. She quickly jumped up, but she couldn't find her center of gravity at all. She just stood up for a while, then took a few unsteady steps back and fell to the ground.

She wanted to reach out and pull out the dagger from the inside of her clothes and the outside of her thigh, but found that they were no longer on her body.

She supported herself on the ground with her hands and continued to crawl backwards, dragging her body until she leaned against the trunk of a tree and stopped.

She was breathing rapidly as she looked at the people in front of her whom she had never seen before. Destiny placed her hands horizontally in front of her and stared at them nervously, exuding a hostility.

"who are you……"

Destiny's body was very weak and her chest was still in severe pain, but she could do nothing now and could only try to threaten the group of strangers in front of her with her hostility.

"No, well, actually we—"

"do not come!"

The leader was about to take a few steps forward to explain, but was suddenly interrupted loudly by Destiny.

"Okay, okay, I won't come over."

The captain withdrew his foot and raised his hands to both sides of his head to show that he meant no harm.

Just then, Zoya walked past the head of the group.

"Zoya?"

The team leader was about to stop Zoya, but he found that Destiny did not seem to have any excessive reaction to Zoya's approach.

"Ms. Destiny..."

Zoya stood in front of Destiny, looking at the daughter of the godfather she believed in, she lowered her head slightly and said.

Looking at Zoya in front of him, a girl from the same Luper tribe, Destiny seemed to be relieved. He put down his hands and took a few breaths of relief.

"Where...where is this place? Who...are you?"

Chapter 43: Self-pity

After sending Angelina to the rental house, Koshe returned to his own mansion.

On the way he sent Angelina back, the two of them didn't say a word, each of them had their own thoughts.

The previously mentioned agreement to see the sea seemed so ridiculous in the face of reality. Kosh didn't want to break Angelina's expectations. Angelina was his friend and the girl he liked, and he didn't want to disappoint her.

But as the Godfather said, we often do things we don’t want to do, and the direction of reality may not always be as we wish.

Time is a long river that never stops. It has a beginning and an end, a journey and a rest, a prosperity and a decline, which can make people feel sad.

This year has been the worst year he has ever had.

Koshei thought so and returned to the mansion alone.

"I am back."

He opened the door and spoke into the mansion, but no one responded to him.

He hung his coat on the hanger at the door and walked upstairs.

In the empty and lonely mansion, the only sound was his own footsteps.

Koshe came to Destiny's door and knocked. There was no response from inside. He held the door handle and turned it tentatively.

The door was open but not locked. He pushed it open and saw a man sitting on the bed inside.

"De——"

Koshe was about to shout, but found that the other person was not Destiny.

"It's Hong..." Koshei was a little disappointed, but looking at Hong sitting on the bed, he held on to a little hope and asked, "Hong, do you know where Destiny is?"

He was now worried that Destiny would impulsively pursue Lappland.

She was no match for Lapland, he knew it.

But he knew she was capable of such a thing.

"Hong..." Hong was squatting on Destiny's bed, hugging her knees. She stared at the window beside her, not looking at Koshe. "Hong, I don't know."

Koshe's mouth opened slightly, then closed again.

He could tell that Hong was lying. As a wolf hunter, Hong was qualified, but as a "human", Hong couldn't even lie.

He didn't know what to say, so he just walked forward, grabbed Hong's shoulders with both hands, and said, "Please, Hong, please tell me..."

"..."

Hong looked hesitant, she knew the truth but she didn't want to tell Koshei.

"Red, please tell me, Destiny, my sister...where is she..."

There was a hint of pleading in Koshe's tone. He had lived for more than ten years and had never shown this attitude to anyone other than his godfather.

But the events of the past two days were really about to break him down. Jimmy, the Godfather, Laplander, the government, all these things made him feel exhausted. If even Destiny...

He didn't want to think about it, let alone dare to think about it.

The godfather died, the godmother lost contact, and Destiny also disappeared. It seemed that overnight, he was suddenly alone.

"Hong... knows something." Seeing Koshe's expression, even Hong, a wolf hunter, felt a little distressed. She couldn't help but let it go. "Sister Destiny... ambushed Lappland on the transport plane. The transport plane crashed a few minutes after taking off... Hong only knows this. The transport plane caught fire. Hong, can't get in..."
