The other family members also raised their glasses in understanding and gestured to him.

Soon, the two people left.

……

In the corner of the Sicilian Mansion.

"Mrs. Sicily... I don't know who gave you such a ridiculous title, but I hope you understand that you are just one member of the family and you cannot represent the entire family!"

Solo was here, standing in front of several thugs, interrogating the Sicilian lady in front of him.

"A title is just a title. They're used to calling me that, and I won't refuse. But as you said, I'm a member of the family. I've never considered representing the entire family. Everything I do is based on my personal stance."

Mrs. Sicily retorted to the man without any hesitation.

If she didn't want to argue with this guy at the beginning, after a few contacts, she began to get tired of this man.

Stupid, arrogant, and with an inexplicable sense of arrogance, why do you think you are stronger than me?

I just joined the family later than you. Who do you think is more valuable between the two of us in the eyes of the family?

Is she a woman who can help you build a powerful Sicilian branch in a strange land, or a useless wild dog who can only bark?

"you!"

Hisoka was obviously stunned by these words, but after a moment, his expression turned grim.

"It seems... you really intend to betray the Sicilian family."

"I've never considered betrayal. Rather, ever since you came here, you've been doing things that harm the family's interests, and you keep talking about betrayal... I think you're more like a traitor!"

Mrs. Sicily spoke calmly and glanced at the thugs, then snorted in disdain.

"The matter has been settled in front of all the Colombian families. This is a promise I made, and I will not take it back!"

"Do you know how valuable that piece of land is to the Sicilian family?!" Solo still asked unwillingly.

"No matter how valuable it is, it's still my family's personal territory. Besides, since I arrived in Colombia, I've been given full rights. Here, I'm the spokesperson for the Sicilian family. I'm willing to respect you, but I don't need you to interfere with what I do here!"

Mrs. Sicily seemed extremely tough at this moment, and her calm words repeatedly forced the spokesperson in front of her to retreat.

His expression became increasingly ugly, and in the end, he couldn't even utter a word.

I was just so angry that I almost laughed.

"Good good."

"Since you don't welcome me, I will go back to Syracuse now."

"Mrs. Sicily, you have betrayed the family!"

He roared again, but it sounded so ridiculous and boring.

Even Maria was a little fed up.

Betrayal, betrayal...

I keep saying these words every day, but I can't do anything.

The meaning of this betrayal is too cheap.

"Whether it's betrayal or not, it's not up to you to decide."

Mrs. Sicily did not try to keep the other person, but just watched him go away silently. After he disappeared from her sight, she let out a long sigh and turned to look at Maria beside her.

"Finally... it's over."

"Aren't you worried about what he said?" Maria was the one who had seen the whole thing, but she was still a little curious.

Wasn't Lady Sicily quite respectful of those so-called parents? Why was she now forcing them to repay what had happened?

"I just suddenly figured it out."

Mrs. Sicily smiled and shook her head, speaking as she led Maria towards the attic.

"Just now, when I fought that guy from Texas, I suddenly felt that I was getting a little old..."

"He seems far more perceptive and powerful than I am. His eyes are burning with a desire that even I can't understand. Even his suggestion of cooperation is somewhat unacceptable to me...but I see that other family members are used to it."

"I'm really old, and I can't keep up with this fast-paced place."

"So I thought, maybe it's a good thing to quit at this time."

"I've done enough for the family. Their trial might be a good outcome. I'm expelled from the family, I give up my rights, I take some money and leave here. It's also a good choice for her to live a good life."

Mrs. Sicily smiled, and intimately held the baby crawling aimlessly on the ground in her arms, teasing the baby and looking at the pure smile on the baby's face.

She was ready to give up power.

She leaned against Maria, like a close friend, and spoke softly.

"It's incredible. I didn't know I would actually spill my guts to someone I haven't even known for a month... But Ms. Maria, you truly are a very mysterious person. I always feel an inexplicable sense of security around you, especially since you've solved so many problems for me time and time again."

"..."

"Come to think of it, you said before that you wanted to go to Bolivar, right?"

"Yes."

"I've prepared a first-class ticket for you. You can leave in a few days... It's not much, but it's a token of my appreciation."

Mrs. Sicily looked at the woman in front of her with a smile.

Although Maria only mentioned it once, she had already kept her words in mind.

"……Thanks."

Maria didn't know what to say at this time, so she could only nod to express her gratitude.

After pausing for a few seconds, she turned her head and looked at the baby who unconsciously reached out to grab the corner of her clothes. She silently took its hand off her clothes and held it gently.

It was hot…but also warm.

"So where are you going next?"

"Hmm... I don't know. It could be Xiosta, or it could be Lateran... I heard Yan Country and Casimir are pretty good too, but I can be sure that I won't be going back to Syracuse or Columbia."

Mrs. Sicily also looked out the window with emotion.

Two huge crescent moons are hanging in the sky, and a total lunar eclipse should occur in a few days.

After Maria left, it was almost time for her to leave it all.

To be honest, she was not as reluctant as she had imagined to lose everything she had built up over the past decade. On the contrary, she felt her heart was filled with hope.

She couldn't wait to leave and think carefully about what to name her child.

She wanted to be given a flower-like name so that she could have the right to choose when she could run.

"Yeah……"

Maria didn't say much, just lowered her head.

But Lady Sicily looked at Maria as if she had discovered something and suddenly laughed.

"Are you reluctant to leave?"

"..."

"I didn't see that, Ms. Maria... I thought you were the type to be very open about everything, but it turns out... you're just not good at expressing yourself, right?"

"..."

"Haha, what a wonderful feeling."

Mrs. Sicily smiled. At this moment, she seemed to have really shed all her responsibilities and looked at the child in her arms like an ordinary girl.

"Come to think of it...she seems to like you quite a bit. I wonder if she'll cry after you leave."

"...Children are always forgetful. In a few days, she will completely forget me."

"Perhaps, but we, Rupert, are very sensitive to smells... Although I have never seen my mother, I still remember the faint earthy scent emanating from the woman who embraced me in my dream."

"..."

"Would you be interested in being the godmother of this child?"

Lady Sicily narrowed her eyes and looked at Maria.

"Maybe this way, one day in the future, you can meet her again."

Although it was just an inexplicable intuition, she felt that the fate between the two of them would not end so soon.

"……Can."

Maria hesitated for a while, but finally did not refuse.

No matter what, as this was the first newborn baby she had seen in her long life, Maria was willing to give him something special.

As she spoke, she gently stood up, silently took the child from the other person's arms, and rested her forehead against the other person's forehead.

Ancient and mysterious blessings came out of her mouth.

The pale blue moonlight enveloped them.

"Blessings to you, child. In the name of God, I bless you. Perhaps we will never have the chance to meet again in this life, but I promise you that every time the moon rises, I will listen to your voice. When you call me, I will come to your side...Blessings to you, child. Your future will embrace the light of a flame."

Under the watchful eyes of Lady Sicily, Maria gently gave the child all the promises she could make.

She did not use her ability because she did not know what impact it would have on the child. Besides, with Lady Sicily around, the child would not be in any danger.

The baby was silent for a while, then started giggling.

She didn't understand what such a promise meant and how important it was. She just felt that Maria's hair was itching.

Under the warm light, everything is getting better.

At this moment, there was a sudden knock on the door.

"Mrs. Sicily!" A man's voice spoke, a little panicked.

"The patriarch of the Texas family...something happened!"

"Ok?"

Chapter 112: Don’t hold back!

After placing the child in a safe place, Maria and Lady Sicily rushed to the scene as quickly as possible.

And here, Salvadore, with a pale face, lay on the ground, his eyes closed and his body twitching slightly.

On the side, everyone surrounded this place and did not dare to get close.

Although everyone knew that the other party was clearly poisoned, who knew what kind of rumors would spread if they approached rashly.

They could only watch.

The doctors from the surrounding Sicilian family also had grim expressions.

Since they were hired as doctors for the Sicilian family, their skills must be quite high.

At least they are all top-tier doctors in Colombia.

But faced with Salvadore's situation, they had no explanation.

This was not a toxin they had never been exposed to before. The only certainty was that without prompt treatment, Salvadore's life would have been over.

Whether it was to save their status or to contribute to the family, they could only try to suppress the symptoms with troubled expressions by prescribing medicine.

Maria and Lady Sicily were listening carefully to the thugs explaining what happened here.

"Shortly after you left, the party went on as usual, but suddenly, he screamed and collapsed to the ground... It's been almost five or six minutes now. Many doctors have come to see him, but none of them can say anything."

A waiter tried to suppress his panic and explained.

Five or six minutes?

Mrs. Sicily frowned and quickly glanced at everyone present.

After seeing the other party's situation, the first thing she thought of was that there was some family around that was hostile to Texas and wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to frame them for the crime of murdering the Texas family.

Because she was sure that she had absolutely not arranged for anyone to do anything to him.

But after looking around, she found that the only people who might have taken action at the scene were the Sicilian family.

The Texas family has not been established for long, and its relationship with other families is not very close. Even if they are hostile, the relationship is not so bad as to be fatal.
