You don't even want to call me godfather

In the following year, he climbed higher and higher with the vast knowledge he had gained from the family library and the fighting spirit of young people in the government who had spread word of mouth.

When he began to realize that he had a say in the government, he understood that the first step of his plan had been completed.

The Florida family, like the Texas family, came from Colombia, and his father had some friends in Colombia.

He took some time to return to Columbia and found his childhood playmate, Providence.

……

Fred used a public telephone box to call the police.

He pinched his throat and told the operator on the other end that a murder had occurred here.

Then he left and headed back towards the government building.

On the way back, he received a call from Providence. Pro told him about the call the operator had just received, and Fred, pretending to be panicked, rushed back to the government.

He arrived at the crime scene in a government car with Providence.

Why did Fred go to so much trouble to go back to the government and then to the crime scene?

He didn't have to worry about being discovered. As long as there were no witnesses, he would never be suspected.

He just wanted to see how other people would react after seeing his "work".

"This is very strange, Fred," Providence half-knelt beside the body of the government official. He wore rubber gloves and examined the body. "Except for the marks on the neck, there are no other wounds on the body, let alone fatal wounds."

"What's the matter, Providence?" Fred stood beside him and asked calmly, "Is there anything suspicious?"

"Yes," Providence nodded. He lifted the corpse's head with his hands and showed Fred the wound on his neck. "Strangled, this is not the style of the Mafia. Just like the four bodies of Mafia members in another alley two days ago, they died of knife wounds, which is not the style of our government either."

"Style..."

Fred's expression was obscured by the shadow of his hair. Now in the whole of Syracuse, the only person who knew that he once belonged to the family was Providence.

But now, Providence was in front of him, saying that his method of killing was not in line with the Mafia style.

"laugh……"

Then, Fred suddenly couldn't help but chuckle.

"Hmm? What are you laughing at, Fred?"

Providence noticed something was wrong with Fred, so he stood up, took off his rubber gloves, and looked at his good friend.

"No, I just thought of something, don't worry about it."

Fred waved his hand, but covered his mouth with his other hand, trying hard to suppress his laughter.

He didn't understand why he was laughing. Perhaps he found Providence's words ridiculous.

"Do you know anything, Fred?"

Providence frowned slightly. He was the "brain" of the government and had relied on his wisdom to get to the position of senator. Similarly, he also understood his friend.

"Don't think too much, Providence," Fred let go of his hand, turned around and called to Providence, "Don't worry about him, my friend, we all have more important things to do, don't we?"

Looking at his back, for a moment, Providence remembered Fred's father and who Fred used to be.

"Boom!"

Providence grabbed Fred's wrist, pulled him back, then pressed his chest and pressed him against the outer wall.

"Fred..." Looking at his friend who was still smiling even at this moment, Providence was furious. However, thinking of the other government officials outside the cordon, he lowered his voice as much as possible. "I advise you not to do anything out of line again. I don't care what your previous identity was. Now that you are in this position, you'd better be a good prime minister for me."

Looking at Providence, who was rarely angry, Fred's mouth corners became more upbeat.

He grabbed Providence's hand that was pressing on him and easily and slowly moved it away from his chest.

"What else?" He looked at Providence and said contemptuously, "Are you going to expose my crimes? Or let your godfather friend... come and kill me?"

Providence was speechless, and there was a hint of panic in his eyes as he looked at Fred.

Fred let go of his hand, and he took a few steps back somewhat uncontrollably, leaning against the wall.

"You...know everything?"

He asked in a trembling voice, somewhat incredulous.

"Don't forget our friendship, Providence." This time, it was Fred's turn to walk up to him and stare into his eyes with narrowed eyes. "You know me, and how can I not know you?"

Then Fred took two steps back and turned to leave the alley.

And he gave Providence one last word:

"Remember our common ideals, Puro, don't worry, everything... is under my control."

Chapter 101 Monster Heart

After Koshe left the bar, he returned to the mansion.

He took out the key and opened the door. After entering, he was shocked by the scene at home before he had time to change his shoes.

"What... happened?"

Looking at the messy living room, with everything on the table scattered on the floor and the carpet shifted an unknown amount, Koshe couldn't help but ask.

"Well... Brother, you can see for yourself."

Destiny leaned against the wall at the entrance and shrugged nonchalantly.

I saw that the Ω that Koshe brought back was hanging on the chandelier on the ceiling for some reason.

And Hong was below Ω, holding a dagger and staring at her as if she were her prey, even the hair on her tail was standing on end.

"Red!Ω! What are you two doing!?"

Koshe hurriedly put on slippers and stepped forward to stop the two people's farce.

After seeing Koshe coming, Ω fell down from the chandelier, flapped its wings a few times, and landed gently on the ground.

"Red, I don't like her." Although Red obediently put away the dagger, she still held her tail straight and was full of malice towards Ω, "She calls Koshe 'Dad'. Red, I won't allow anyone to take Koshe away."

Hearing Hong's words, Koshe felt at a loss whether to laugh or cry. He held down Hong's restless head and rubbed it randomly.

"Okay, Red, stop messing around," he said, changing the subject, "Aren't you going to try on a skirt for Sister Destiny to see?"

Upon hearing this, Hong's ears suddenly stood up, and the tail behind him stopped standing up and began to swing from side to side.

"Red, I want to wear it, red, I like it."

"Then I'll take Hong to try on clothes first." After seeing Koshei deal with Hong, Destiny came over and said, "That girl...you think about how to settle her, brother."

Destiny went upstairs with a flush of excitement.

Only after seeing the swinging tail disappear from his sight did Koshe shift his gaze to Ω.

"If... I want to settle down, I... just need a small piece of floor..."

But before Koshei could speak, Ω answered the question in his mind before him.

"Reading thoughts?" Koshe's eyelids twitched. He was a little slow to react. "It's a very strange feeling."

"Ah... I'm sorry..." Ω seemed to think that Koshei was unhappy, and hurriedly lowered his head to apologize, "If... 'Dad' doesn't like it, I won't look at 'Dad's' thoughts."

Seeing Ω's humble attitude just because of this kind of thing, Koshe opened his mouth but didn't know what to say.

This child has so much to learn. Koshei doesn't care about the title of "Dad". He can understand the child's longing for his parents.

But he only cares about how to make this child have normal people's ideas.

The way she is now, she only picks out words and sentences when reading minds, and distorts the original meaning. It is impossible for her to live a normal life.

Koshe knew that he couldn't adopt Ω for life, but at least until she could think like a normal person, he might have to keep her for a while.

"Let's go to my study first," Koshei asked Ω to follow him to the study. He picked up the coat that Ω had dropped on the ground during the confrontation with Hong. "At least, find a place to sleep first."

Koshe took Ω to the study. When Ω saw the dazzling array of books in the study, a faint light seemed to shine in his eyes.

"The books here are what I have accumulated since I was a child," Koshe walked past the bookshelf, stroking the covers of the books with his fingers, and slowly came to the table and chair, "Ω, can you read?"

"Yes... I do," Ω said blankly, looking at the books that seemed to surround her. "I learned it before... when I was looking at the thoughts of my uncle and others."

"Is that so?" Koshe didn't know what to say about this. Although it can be seen from this that Ω is a smart child, he can only find a way to teach Ω himself. After all, in her current form, it is impossible to send her to any school. "Go sit on the chair for a while. I'll help you find some suitable books to read."

Then, Koshe began to look for books on the bookshelf.

He found a copy of "Justice and Justice", which was the book his father had given him when he first taught him what fairness and justice were.

The book in his hand was a translation from Ursus. Koshei blew away the dust on it and took it back to the desk.

"Maybe you can start with this one. My father used it to teach me at the beginning," Koshe said, but he found that Ω didn't seem to listen to him. She was holding a thick book in her hand that he had never seen before. "Where did you get that book from?"

"It was... on Dad's desk, so I just... picked it up and looked at it."

Ω revealed her eyes from behind the book and spoke weakly, as if she was worried that every word and action of hers might make Koshe unhappy.

"That is……"

Looking at the book and seeing the bloodstains on the cover, Koshe remembered.

This is a collection of fairy tales of the girl who was killed when Providence came to him for accountability.

"Did I...do something wrong?"

Looking at Ω's cautious attitude, Koshe felt a sense of emotion weighing on his heart.

"No, that one will do," Koshe said with a wry smile, "Although I haven't read that one either, but if you like it, take it."

"Um...thank you, dad?"

Ω expressed his thanks in a questioning tone.

"If you feel sleepy or tired, there is a folding bed in the corner of the study. You can stretch it out to both sides and rest on it." Koshe put the book in his hand back on the bookshelf and told Ω, "I have something to go out for, so I can't accompany you for now."

After giving the instructions, Koshe left the study, leaving Ω alone in the study, reading the fairy tale book.

[A long time ago, a sea monster fell in love with a princess from the land.]

[The princess had heard the roar of the monster in her dream. One day, while walking on the beach, she told her subjects that the roar of the waves made her sleep well. She had not had such a sweet sleep for a long time.]

[The monster heard it and felt happy and sad because it couldn't go ashore, and the bright world on the shore was so admirable at night.]

[Such a monster found a magician in the deep sea, hoping to get a way to the princess from the magician.]

[The magician said, since you have such a huge body, why don't you go directly to the shore? As long as you get close, the flood you cause will submerge the kingdom, and then you can bring the person to live in the water.]

[The monster said, if we do that, that person will never smile again, is there any other way?]

[The magician said, of course there is, but your body is too big, so you can't enter the royal city.]

[The monster said, since my body is too big, please cut off my wings, chop off my limbs, cut off my head, and cut open my belly.]

[I can carve my heart into a human shape and take it to that city, and place it next to that person. My heart is exactly the same size as that person.]

[When that person holds my heart, I will know that it beats for her.]

While reading the first story in the book, Ω rested his chin on the desk, wondering what he was thinking.

Monster...Princess...

She looked at the words in the book and then glanced at where Koshei had left.

dad.

Is she... a princess, or a monster...

Chapter 102 Cardiac Arrest

Koshe left the study, glanced at the stairs leading to the second floor, and then walked out of the house.

A figure wrapped tightly was sitting at the door of his house.

Koshe recognized him at first sight. After all, this figure had rushed into his house in the morning and beat him up severely.

"What do you say, Providence?"

Koshei asked, sitting down next to him.

"'Angel'...how is it?" Providence looked at the ground under his feet. He did not look at Koshei, but said, "If nothing unexpected happens, you should have solved this matter."

"Ah, yes, it's solved." Koshe took out a cigarette case, took out a cigarette and put it in his mouth. "Compared to this, I am more curious about one thing, Providence, why did you tell me this?"

"..." Providence was silent for a moment, and then he said, "I think you should remember that I am from Colombia."
