In Terra, she is a hunter and a bad woman.

He looked fearless of life and death.

Maria also clearly saw that many of them had some twisted crystals on their bodies... Based on previous experience, it can be judged that these people should be infected.

"They've been here since the founding of the city."

Seeing Maria's gaze, Siciliff quietly explained to her.

"They were originally a group of infected people living in the wilderness, but when we decided to develop this area, they came over and wanted to work in exchange for supplies to survive."

"They are very simple and useful tools for the family, and we are happy to provide them with more money to keep them going, in addition to providing them with jobs and food."

"But even so, the infected are still the ones we will not accept."

As she spoke, Mrs. Sicily slowly stopped.

And right next to her was a shabby tailor shop.

Mrs. Sicily knocked gently on the door, and soon the joyful voice of a child could be heard from inside the room.

But the other party did not open the door.

"Is it brother?"

Maria was a little surprised, but Mrs. Sicily beside her shook her head silently.

Then he continued in a cold voice.

"It's not..."

The movement in the room became obviously more chaotic, but even faster, a boy's voice sounded again.

"So what are you planning to do here? We're closed for today."

"I'm here to see you on behalf of the Sicilian family."

Mrs. Sicily continued.

But these words made these vigilant children let down their guard.

After hesitating for a few moments, the door opened a crack.

Maria could see a timid child's head peeking out from among them, looking towards the Sicilian lady.

After seeing the luxurious decorations on the other person, he quickly realized that this was the family member his brother had been talking about.

Although his knowledge was not enough to support his views on the so-called family, from what he had said before, he could still feel how powerful the so-called family was.

So he quickly opened the door and welcomed Maria and Lady Sicily in.

"Sorry... I'm sorry, my brother hasn't come back yet."

The little boy looked very scared, but he still looked at Maria and others bravely.

Maria took this opportunity to look around.

This should be a small workshop. There is only one clothes hanger in the whole room, on which are placed several plain clothes with no patterns at all. Next to it is a rusty sewing machine.

It can be seen that this family lives a very difficult life.

"There's nothing interesting here!" The boy saw Maria turning her head to observe her surroundings and quickly spoke up. But then he realized that his tone was not right and quickly lowered his head, "I...I didn't mean that..."

"……nothing."

Maria didn't pay attention to the child's tone, nor did she mention the fact that there was another person in the room. She just turned her head silently and looked at Mrs. Sicily.

She still didn't understand why Lady Sicily came here at this time.

Mrs. Sicily just looked at the boy after a moment of silence.

"What's your name?"

"My...my name is Delis, ma'am!"

The boy was very nervous, his big eyes were shaking and he didn't know where to look.

"Dellis..."

Mrs. Sicily was silent for a moment, then turned her head again.

"You just said that Deli hasn't come back today, right?"

"Yes, ma'am."

"I killed him..."

Mrs. Sicily announced the outcome mercilessly, and Maria beside her also remembered who Deli was.

He was the man who betrayed his family in the alley and joined the Texas family.

That is to say...

Is this boy his younger brother?

Maria pondered.

Meanwhile, there was another girl in the room who couldn't help herself.

She decisively ran out from the corner, her eyes bloodshot, questioning loudly.

"Why!"

"Desha!"

The younger brother, or the older brother in this family, Delis decisively stood in front of his sister.

Maria could see that he was also very scared and trembling, but he still grew in that instant.

When there is no pillar of the family, the oldest child will always mature first.

After stopping his sister, Delis looked at Maria with trembling lips.

"So... are you here to kill us?"

"...You are not part of the family, so there is no need for me to take action against you."

Mrs. Sicily shook her head.

She didn't say much, but just silently put aside the stack of banknotes she had prepared long ago.

"You are too insignificant to our family, children. I won't explain too much to you, but now, you and your sister, take this money and get out of this city."

"You are not welcome in Colombia, and there is no place for you."

Mrs. Sicily said this, turned around and left.

On the side, the crying girl grabbed the corner of her brother's clothes tightly with both hands. The boy looked at the money at this time and was in deep silence.

"..."

Maria didn't say much, turned around and walked back with Lady Sicily.

On the way, Lady Sicily seemed to be liberated. She looked up at the two bright moons above the Prime Minister's head, and seemed to feel a little emotional.

Maria saw that the other party had something weighing on his heart that needed to be released, so after a moment of silence, she asked again.

"why?"

"Deli betrayed me...but to be honest, I don't really hold any grudge against him."

Mrs. Sicily spoke slowly, as if she had known this for a long time.

"As I said, even the family won't accept the infected."

"When our Sicilian family first arrived in Colombia, I, as their representative, was attacked quite a few times... Deli protected me many times."

"I clearly remember that at the beginning, he wasn't infected... and it was impossible for him to be infected within his scope of work. He was obviously infected during a certain operation."

"Family is gentle and will protect every member equally, but family is also cruel and will not waste energy on useless things... And Deli, at that time, he was just a thug."

"As an infected person, he obviously can't stay in the family... If he were a real member of the family, he would be given some money and then driven away."

"But for Deli, he had nothing."

"So, when I later discovered he was infected, I could understand why he betrayed me... The infected aren't welcome in this world. He might have been prepared for this, but just like when he first came to ask for shelter from his brother and sister, he still has things he cares about."

"The Texas family must have won him over by promising to protect his brothers and sisters... But I'm fully focused on thinking about how to run the Sicilian family in this land."

"I disregarded the feelings of these people... and that led to this."

"I know that nothing I say now can make up for it, but I feel that at least I should do something for people like this and their families... At least they once fought."

"Texas is a family that keeps its promises, but I think what Deli wants to do is not to let his younger brothers and sisters live under the protection of the family."

"What they want is a peaceful and stable place."

As Lady Sicily spoke, she also lowered her head and sighed deeply.

She didn't know when she became so sentimental... There were people like this in the family before, but she always brushed them aside indifferently.

But ever since she had her own child, those pure and innocent eyes made her gradually understand that she just had no experience.

As she had told Maria before, it was difficult for her to understand her feelings because Maria didn't have children.

She was just a thug trying to make a living, and it was difficult for her to understand the awareness of those who gave everything for what they valued.

Maria listened silently and then looked up at the sky.

Over there, there is only a bright moon hanging high in the sky...

Chapter 102 Wait a minute

I can’t comfort you…” Maria shook her head.

What Lady Sicily is doing now is the result of an emotional perspective, which is exactly what Maria is least good at... She finds it difficult to understand people's complex emotions.

But she still wanted to remind the other party.

"That child...that Delis, there's no confusion in his eyes...I've seen countless people grow from ignorance to maturity, so I know very well that he has made a decision, but it might not be to your advantage."

"Of course I know... I can even imagine his future revenge on me. After all, no matter how it happened, the end result is that I killed their only support."

Mrs. Sicily smiled and said, "I have never been afraid of any challenge or revenge. This is a story that every family member will carry with them throughout their lives!"

"……maybe."

Maria still didn't quite understand what the so-called family was, but she had already gotten the answer from Lady Sicily, so she didn't have to think too much about it.

Soon, the two returned to the Sicilian family's mansion.

Maria was arranged by Sicily to stay on the fourth floor of the main building of the mansion. Her main job was actually to play with the big-tailed kid... The kid seemed to be completely fearless and liked to come over and stick to Maria when he saw her. Maria didn't dislike kids, so she just took care of the kid.

A few days passed quickly.

Thanks to Mrs. Sicily's efforts, a banquet between Colombian families has been scheduled to be held before the next full moon.

The news that the Popolo Winery was acquired by a Texas family gradually spread, and many people were curious about what exactly happened.

It is worth mentioning that the Sicilian family’s main branch far away in Syracuse also knew the news.

But regarding their attitude...Mrs. Sicily just gave Maria a helpless expression.

Obviously, although Mrs. Sicily is the overall spokesperson of the Sicily family in Colombia, her position is still not very high when facing her own family.

This is not to say that the Syracuse family is much stronger than Columbia.

In fact, there are hundreds of families in Syracuse, large and small, but most of them have only three or two people... They are still related by blood and are truly upper families.

Syracuse is ruled by a family of twenty-four powerful wolves, who, according to legend, have existed since the great clock of Syracuse began to tick, and who encompass all the hours of the day.

There, the power of the Syracuse regime was pushed into a corner, while the power of the family became stronger than ever.

The so-called Sicilian family is just a slightly better family outside of the twenty-four major families... but it is estimated that it will be defeated soon.

They had already seen this, so they sent Lady Sicily to develop the emerging Colombia as a backup for themselves... and their Wolf Lord also agreed to this plan.

This made Maria realize that the so-called wolf lords were not pure beasts. Although they were arrogant, they also had their own wisdom. They knew that when they could not confront the enemy head-on, they could choose a more roundabout tactic.

But the only thing that remains unchanged is that they still retain the cunning and greed of wolves.

In fact, under the leadership of the lady, the Sicilian family in Colombia has now developed to a level that is no less impressive than the Sicilian family in Syracuse.

However, due to her identity and rank, it was still difficult for her to take the initiative in family meetings.

This is also what makes her feel embarrassed.

Maria suggested that she could completely break away from the constraints of the so-called family, but this suggestion was met with a helpless shake of the head by Lady Sicily.
