You don't even want to call me godfather

He quickly raised his gun and looked around. Without even noticing it, his breathing became heavy and beads of sweat the size of beans dripped from his forehead.

"Hululu..."

Similar to the growl of an animal, but much deeper.

Just by listening to this sound, Fred felt that his brain could not bear such pressure.

Just when the string in his mind was stretched to the limit, he saw the source of the sound.

But at the same time, this will also be the last scene he will ever see in his life.

It was a huge wolf, or a wolf-like creature. It was intelligent and had its own consciousness.

His body was taller than the tallest bell tower in Syracuse, but this was only a tiny fraction of His true size.

He stood right where Kosheben was, looking down at Fred with eyes that looked down on humanity.

Chapter 110: After so many years, there is no return date

"Koshei! Koshei! Wake up the fucking hell!"

When Koshe opened his eyes again, he saw an anxious Jose, grabbing his shoulders and shaking him.

"...Alright...José, stop shaking..."

Koshe felt his mind was a little empty, as if he had just had a long sleep.

But as he regained consciousness, he slowly remembered what happened before he lost consciousness.

Everything.

"Koshei, if you don't wake up, I will really..."

"I said, stop fucking shaking! Jose!"

Koshe waved away Jose's hand that was grabbing his shoulder, turned over, and stumbled to his feet.

He took a deep breath, and his breath with body temperature raised a little mist in this cold winter day.

"Ke... Godfather..."

Jose understood Koshe's mood at the moment. When he struggled to crawl out of the ruins, he saw Destiny lying on Koshe's coat and Koshe who had fainted on the ground.

He probably knew what was going on, but that was why Jose felt uneasy.

How many times has this happened?

How many times has things gone wrong because of him?

His dereliction of duty gave the government the opportunity to kill Ulysses, and now, he brought a traitor with him, causing the death of Destiny.

If anything happened to Koshei, he would never forgive himself. Even if nothing happened to Koshei, Jose would not allow himself to not feel guilty.

Two people of Cascade's bloodline and the surname Cascade have died because of his indirect cause.

“Oh… fuck…”

Koshe sighed deeply, he remembered what Msisha said to him and could naturally guess what would happen to Fred.

But this still couldn't make him feel relieved.

"Jose, give me a cigarette." Koshe searched his pockets but couldn't find the cigarette box. He took the cigarette and lighter from Jose and lit it for himself. "How are the guests at the party?"

"Although they were injured to varying degrees, luckily none of them were in danger of death. I and several other followers who crawled out from underneath pulled them all out," Jose reported truthfully. Looking at Koshe's silent back, he said nervously, "Godfather, I..."

"I don't want to hear your explanation or confession now, Jose." Koshe pinched the cigarette between his fingers, and his tone sounded a little impatient. "I'll settle the matter with you about the traitor later. Now... send those people to the hospital."

"And you, Godfather?"

"Give me your car keys," Koshe took a final puff and threw away the half-smoked cigarette in his hand. He took the car keys from Jose, who was standing uncomfortably, pressed the self-check button, confirmed the location of Jose's car, and walked over there, "Remember to settle everyone, Jose, and... Destiny's body."

"I understand, Godfather..."

Jose lowered his head, not daring to look up at Koshe. He glanced to the side and saw Destiny's body again.

He closed his eyes and rubbed his face hard with his hands.

"Ah...Okay, Jose, you can't go on like this. Cheer up."

Jose looked at his hands and muttered to himself.

Koshe got into Jose's car and used his hand to move the rearview mirror inside the car so that it could face his eyes.

Looking at himself in the mirror, Koshei had an indescribable feeling, and then he started the car.

He turned his head to look at the rearview mirror, and looked at the ruins getting farther and farther away. Koshei lay weakly on the back of the car seat.

After an unknown amount of time, he arrived at his destination.

He stopped the car at the immigration office, looked at the landship that was still there, and got out of the car.

"godfather."

Loft was standing outside Rhodes Island. Koshe glanced at the scout at the entrance of Rhodes Island and realized that Loft was stopped.

"The lady has been taken in by them, and she should be undergoing surgery now," Loft looked at Koshe, who was obviously a little abnormal, and asked, "What's wrong with you, Godfather?"

"...Go ask Jose later." Koshe was silent for a moment, then threw Jose's car keys to him and said weakly, "Drive Jose's car back to the club. He should need your help now."

"I see, Godfather, your key."

Koshe took the key handed to him by Loft. He stared at Loft's face nervously for a long time before walking towards Rhodes Island.

"Godfather, Dr. Kal'tsit is performing a rescue operation in the operating room." The scout guarding the door saw Koshe coming. He nodded and turned around to lead the way. "She told me to take you to see her after you come."

"Ah."

Koshe followed Scout silently. He didn't know if it was his illusion, but he always felt that he was a little too dull.

But before he could think about it, the two of them had already arrived in front of the operating room where Anjie was.

The light representing the operating room was not on, and Kal'tsit was standing outside the operating room with her arms folded across her chest, as if waiting for Koshe's arrival.

"Thank you, Ms. Kelsey."

Koshe took the initiative to step forward and extended a hand.

"Since this is your request, I will help you even if it is for cooperation." Kal'tsit also reached out and held Koshe's hand, saying, "The bullet didn't hit her vitals, but she needs to rest for a while. Go in and take a look. She's waiting for you."

"Well, thank you very much."

Koshe nodded, walked past Kal'tsit, and pushed open the door of the operating room with a heavy heart.

Anjie was inside, lying on the hospital bed, looking very weak.

"Mr. Koshe..."

Anjie turned her head with some difficulty. She saw Koshei and pretended to be strong and tried to sit up from the bed.

But she failed. The aftereffects of the anesthesia had just worn off and she now had no strength at all.

"Angie..." Koshei's heart was beating fast, and he didn't know whether he was happy or guilty. He walked slowly to the bedside and squatted down, "I'm sorry..."

"Well, it's not Mr. Koshe's fault..."

Anjie shook her head with some effort, her eyes full of tenderness, but for some reason, there was also a hint of worry.

"This is all because of me..."

Koshe lowered his head and buried his face in the white quilt. He felt very guilty but didn't know how to express his feelings.

But then, he felt Ange's hand, stroking his hair, her fingers brushing his cheek.

He looked up and saw Anjie's worried eyes.

Koshe was silent for a moment, then he stood up.

"Dr. Kal'tsit said that you need to rest. For safety reasons, I hope Angie can stay in Rhodes Island for a period of time."

Koshe held Anjie's weak hand and said.

"If that's what Mr. Koshei meant... I can certainly accept it..."

Looking at Anjie, looking into her eyes, looking at her face, Koshei opened his lips slightly, as if he wanted to say something.

But he gave up, he had so much to say but he couldn't.

Finally, he simply let go of Anjie's hand and turned to leave the ward.

"Mr. Koshei... where are you going?"

Anjie was a little panicked. She could see that something was wrong with Koshe. It was not just because of her, there must be something else.

"I'm going to talk to Dr. Kelsey and also deal with the follow-up matters of the club."

"Then... Mr. Koshei, will you come back?"

Anjie's question silenced Koshei.

He knew very well that he couldn't live without Angel, and Angel couldn't live without him, but he also knew that as long as Angel was by his side, she would inevitably encounter danger.

Anjie survived today, but what about next time?

Koshe didn't dare to gamble. He had gambled with human lives twice, and he lost both times.

"... Don't worry, Angie, I will be back." Koshei turned his back to Angie. He didn't even dare to look at her, because even he felt how much his words were against his will. "Don't forget, we still have a promise to go to the sea together, Angie."

"Then... Mr. Koshei, please come back early."

"Well, I will."

Koshe opened the door and walked out.

Sorry, Angie, maybe this time, he will have to break the contract.

"Have you finished chatting?"

Kal'tsit was still standing outside the door. She had to take care of Ange's follow-up.

"Well, regarding the previous cooperation, I will approve some people to come to your company," Koshe didn't look at Kelsey, he looked a little absent-minded, "No matter what you want to do, I will fulfill the terms of the contract, please rest assured."

"...Are you okay?" Kal'tsit frowned slightly. She had lived for a long time, so she could see the changes in Koshei. But even she couldn't help but feel worried about Koshei's current appearance. "No matter what happened, I hope you can stay calm."

"I will, Ms. Kal'tsit." Koshe looked at the ground in front of him for a long time, then raised his head and looked at Kal'tsit. "In addition, I hope to add another clause to the contract. It is my personal wish and has nothing to do with our business cooperation."

"Please say."

"I hope... that Anjie can stay on Rhodes Island as a patient, receiving treatment and protection for an unlimited period of time."

Kelsey closed her eyes after hearing what Koshe said.

She took a deep breath and looked at Koshei at this moment. For some reason, it reminded her of herself when she had just lost Theresa.

She didn't know what happened exactly, but she knew that Koshe must be feeling very uncomfortable right now.

Just like she was two years ago.

“Have you thought it through?” Kal’tsit did not refuse, nor did she ask why. She just confirmed it one last time. “After the cooperation is reached, Rhodes Island will leave Syracuse. By then, your next chance to see her will be unknown. It is even possible that we will never return to Syracuse again.”

Feeling Kal'tsit's questioning gaze and looking at her complicated eyes for a long time, Koshe smiled helplessly.

"Yes, I have thought about it."

Chapter 111: Success or Failure (End of Volume 1)

"Now that the cooperation has been reached, Rhodes Island will just have to wait for news from the Godfather. The future supply of medicine will be delivered by Rhodes Island's Scourge Messengers."

At the door of the operating room, Kal'tsit and Koshe confirmed the cooperation agreement for the last time.

But this time, she took the initiative to reach out to Koshei.

"Happy cooperation, then, Godfather of Syracuse."

"Well, it's a pleasure to work with you, Ms. Kelsey."

Koshe and Kal'tsit held hands again, completely establishing the cooperative friendship between Rhodes Island and Cascade.

only……

At this time, Koshe was very confused.
