You don't even want to call me godfather

The brother and sister met again after many days.

But the same people have different thoughts. The Destiny who was once full of admiration for Koshe seems to have become a thing of the past.

"Destiny, sister...what's wrong with you? What happened?"

Koshe frowned slightly and put one foot in front of him, but he didn't dare to take a second step, for fear that Destiny would be provoked and run away.

He knew his sister, and knew that something must have happened in the past few days to make her like this.

"..." Destiny was silent for a moment. He raised one arm hesitantly and rolled up his sleeve to his elbow, revealing several tiny Originium crystals on his forearm. "Starting from the chest and extending to the arm, I am now... an infected person. If I get close to my brother, I might be infected..."

"No, this won't happen. Believe me, Destiny." Koshe took small steps and slowly approached Destiny, comforting her, "Believe me, tell me what happened. I will help you. Don't worry, don't be afraid. I'm here..."

"elder brother……"

Destiny wanted to escape. She didn't dare to face Koshe in her current state, but for some reason, her feet were reluctant to leave the ground, keeping her where she was, watching Koshe getting closer and closer to her.

Until Koshe walked in front of her, he slowly stretched out his hand and reached for Destiny's hood.

He paused several times along the way, observing Destiny's reaction, and then his hand touched her hood.

Destiny shuddered, but she did not resist. She let her hood be gently removed, revealing a face that Koshe was very familiar with.

"elder brother……"

Destiny avoided looking into Koshe's eyes. She knew how worried Koshe would be about her disappearance in the past few days, and she also knew how much of an impact this would have on Koshe.

"!"

Destiny's body froze because Koshe suddenly came forward and hugged her tightly, which made her happy, but she immediately worried whether the crystals on her body would scratch Koshe.

However, Koshe held her very tightly, and Destiny did not dare to act rashly. Feeling the warmth in Koshe's arms, she gradually relaxed.

"Destiny..."

Koshe let her go, his hand still on Destiny's shoulder, looking at her, wanting to say something but stopping himself.

Because the Originium crystals on Destiny's neck are so dazzling, and their number is much denser than those on his arms, which also shows the severity of Destiny's infection.

"Something happened... it's a bit complicated to explain..."

Destiny noticed Koshe's gaze, and she grabbed her clothes with her hands in embarrassment to cover her neck.

"No, it's okay..." Koshe held Destiny's head with both hands, forehead against forehead, and said, "It doesn't matter what the reason is, as long as you come back, it's good to come back..."

Destiny felt Koshei pressing against her forehead and listened to his words. She finally couldn't hold it anymore and lowered her head.

"I'm sorry...brother, I'm sorry...I really don't know what to do," Destiny's voice trembled a little. "I don't want the world to know that the new godfather of the Cascade family has an infected sister. It will embarrass my brother, but...but seeing Bartley's performance at the press conference and what he wanted to do to my brother just now, I couldn't help it..."

"It doesn't matter," Koshe lifted up Destiny's face and wiped away the tears from her eyes with his fingers. "I don't care if you are infected or not, and I don't care what the world thinks. I only know that you are my sister, a sister who is as close to me as family."

To be honest, Destiny's return can be said to be the best thing that has happened to Koshe in recent days.

When he felt that everything was getting worse and worse, Destiny's appearance was undoubtedly a timely help, which rekindled his already depressed mood.

Looking at Destiny, whose face he hadn't seen crying for several years, Koshe's heart softened.

He understood that protecting was far more difficult than killing, especially in the country of Syracuse. If you were not careful, your closest people might die because of you.

He had experienced the feeling of losing a loved one twice in succession, and he didn't want to experience it again.

If the reason why he killed William in public before was because Koshe felt that he had no ties, no relatives or friends, and had nothing to lose even if he failed, then now he began to feel a little regretful for his reckless behavior.

But it was only a moment. Now that Destiny was back, the first person in his life who needed protection since childhood was back by his side, he had truly made up his mind.

In order to protect, I will kill to the end.

The government may threaten Destiny's life, and he must completely eradicate the remnants of the government.

Not a single one is left.

No matter how long it takes, no matter how much manpower is needed, he will not feel tired or troubled in order to protect Destiny's safety.

He wanted to completely turn Syracuse into the territory of the Cascade family. He wanted to turn Syracuse into a country where the government and the mafia were integrated. He wanted to turn Syracuse into an extension of his hands.

Yes, here are his family, his party members, and his relatives. His only life and everything he has must not be destroyed by anyone.

In his eyes, the current government, those people, and everyone walking on the road are the shadows that Syracuse cannot wash away.

They keep defending the legitimacy and innocence of being stains.

And he would thoroughly wash away these shadows and stains on these clothes.

Syracuse is sick, and what they want to abandon is pain. Now if he takes a step back, it is good, and if he takes a step forward, it is evil. However, killing often depends on the strong. If he kills to protect his family, he will not hesitate.

He once had holy hands and longed for freedom.

His hands are now stained with blood, and he is now fighting for his blood relatives.

He was no longer confused.

Cascade, blood connected.

Chapter 53: Rumors

He once naively believed that some people would never leave his life.

However, this is not the case. Some people leave and we may never meet again because they are no longer characters in this story.

Looking back, Koshei feels that in the past decade or so, there were too many beautiful things that he had not cherished.

He always told himself that growing up was not a curse, it was an achievement.

But hiding his childishness, this way of growing up that he didn't want, made him realize how important everything he had was.

When Destiny returned to him wounded, he understood for the first time what it meant to protect.

……

A week has passed since the press conference.

After this, the government and the family officially declared hostility and started to wrestle with each other.

Bartley, who was supposed to be the new leader of the government, also died at the hands of Destiny a week ago.

Although no one knew about this and Bartley's body was dealt with by Jose, who was called by Koshe, the government still pointed the finger at the Cascade family.

The citizens of Syracuse gradually got used to Koshei, the new godfather. Fortunately, when he was a godson, Koshei had often helped the people of Syracuse, and the citizens mostly treated him with gratitude and respect.

However, regarding this matter of the government, the citizens could not stand on any camp. A few days ago, some citizens initiated a street demonstration to oppose the government's rule and demanded that the government hand over the power of Syracuse to the Cascade family.

But the final result was that most of the marchers were forcibly arrested and detained by government personnel.

If nothing unexpected happens, this will probably be the longest period of chaos in Syracuse's history.

"The government has taken action again," Koshei was sitting in the study on the first floor of the mansion. Jose stood in front of him and reported, "We lost several brothers, Godfather Ko..."

Compared with the citizens of Syracuse, party cadres like Joseph, who have always followed Ulysses, are still a little uncomfortable with Koshe, the new godfather.

A good friend who used to talk about everything has now become the most powerful person in the country. Anyone would feel uncomfortable in his or her situation.

"What exactly happened, Jose?"

Koshei held a book in his hand, and without taking his eyes off the book, he just asked.

"An underground casino in Xicheng District was taken down. There were not many brothers stationed there at the time, but the government brought a large number of people. A gunfight broke out and we were defeated," José bit his lip in dissatisfaction. He seemed to be unable to tolerate this matter at all. "According to the real-time information provided by the informant, those people went to a high-end restaurant, 'Huan Ya', after the gunfight. Do you need me to take people to deal with them?"

"No, you don't need to do this yourself, Jose."

Koshei tucked the bookmark between the pages, leaned back, and tapped the window with his knuckles.

A few seconds later, a red figure quickly flashed into the study from the door.

"Red, always here."

Hong half-crouched in front of Koshei, with several sharp daggers hanging on her coat.

Jose knew Hong's identity. He had a lot of things to adapt to this week. In comparison, the fact that the Wolf Hunter Organization belonged to the Cascade Family was nothing.

Rather, the existence of such an efficient organization has saved him a lot of effort.

"Xicheng District, Huanya Restaurant, the men in black suits smelling of gunpowder, take care of them all after they leave the restaurant, Red."

"Red, I understand."

After receiving the order, Hong disappeared from the study as quickly as when she came, so fast that Joser couldn't see it with his naked eyes.

"Tell me about the informant, Jose," Koshe said as Jose's eyes fell on the study door in the direction Hong left. He put the book on the table and said, "I don't remember that my family had any spies planted in the government before."

"This...actually, it just happened two days ago," Jose explained when he saw Koshe's serious attitude. "To be precise, it was a government councillor who contacted us."

"How to say?"

Koshe took out a pack of cigarettes and a box of matches from the drawer. He pushed open the window behind him, lit a cigarette, placed it on the edge of the ashtray, and then looked at Jose.

"I don't know if you still remember that at the press conference, when we were confronting the government, one member of parliament raised his hands."

"That black Liberi?" Koshe recalled, "I remember him. The first thing he thought of in that situation was to surrender. I was also surprised, but I didn't pay much attention to it at the time."

"Yes, he came to us a few days ago, but when we pointed more than a dozen guns at his head, he didn't panic at all. Instead, he handed us the personal information of several other congressmen," Jose continued. "I was also skeptical about the information, but it was soon confirmed to be true. Although I can't completely trust that guy, I will keep him alive for the time being."

"Why wasn't this reported to me?"

"I'm worried that you'll kill him. The information he brought was very helpful to us, and even helped our brothers avoid several government ambushes. So I think it's still useful to keep him."

Jose was a little panicked. Ever since the press conference incident, he could no longer read Koshe's emotions on his face. This made him feel an inexplicable pressure whenever he stood in front of him, as if he would be the one to lose his head the next moment if he disrespected him.

"Don't be nervous, Jose. I don't mean to blame you." Koshe saw Jose's panic and comforted him, "I have always believed in you and the choices you made. As long as I can ensure that the family's information will not be known by that congressman, then I will not interfere."

"Yes, Godfather..."

Jose lowered his head. He had a vague feeling that Koshei was becoming more and more like Godfather Ulysses. At one point, he even felt that he was more stable than Ulysses.

But it's just a feeling.

"Speaking of which, Jose, have the people around you encountered any danger recently?" Just as Jose was thinking, Koshe suddenly asked, "Is your family safe?"

He remembered that when he was kidnapped by William, William had revealed Jose's personal information. Koshe was worried that Jose's family would be targeted first by the government.

"They are safe, Godfather," Jose replied. "My parents and wife have been moved to a new residence, where my friends are helping to take care of them. Thank you for your concern."

"Well, that's good," Koshe said, feeling relieved. "You can go back first. The Red Cross will handle the government officials. You cadres don't need to show up in person unless necessary."

"Yes, Godfather, I understand." Joseph was about to leave when he suddenly thought of something and asked, "By the way, may I ask, Miss..."

"Destiny is fine, he just needs to rest for a while," Koshe knew what Jose had not finished saying, and he said, "I don't think you are stupid enough to believe those so-called rumors, Jose."

"Of course, Godfather, I'll leave now. May Miss Destiny recover soon."

Jose finished speaking and left the mansion.

Koshei rested his elbows on the table and rubbed his forehead with a headache.

Since the day Destinis returned, all kinds of rumors began to spread in Syracuse, with people speculating about what had happened during the days when Destinis disappeared.

For example, Destiny brutally murdered William Patrick's beloved son, Bartley Patrick.

But Koshe knew that all this was secretly done by people in the government, who wanted to ruin the reputation of the Cascade family.

The most unacceptable statement is that the second daughter of the Cascade family, Destiny, was infected with oripathy.

Although this is indeed true, Koshe doesn't care about things like oripathy, but Destiny is different.

Destiny is very fragile now. She needs comfort and care, rest and recuperation. At the same time, she also needs drugs to suppress mineralogy.

Koshe stood up, reached into his pocket, and took out a small box with a tower-like logo on it. This was what he had asked Jose to get earlier.

Carrying the box, Koshe went upstairs, knocked on Destiny's door, then pushed it open and walked in.

Chapter 54 Pharmaceutical Company

"Destiny?"

Koshe entered Destiny's room with a medicine box in his hand.

Destiny squatted on the bed, her back against the wall, wrapped in a quilt, staring blankly at the edge of the bed, her ears twitching at Koshe's arrival.

"elder brother?"
