Hearing that his father was going to hand over his wife, Victor said in a deep voice: "Father, there must be another way to deal with this matter! By the way, Fort, we can ask Fort to come forward..."
"Victor!"
Old Jon's voice suddenly rose: "Use your brain to think carefully, who asked that councillor to take over our mines and settlements? It was Huo Hanshan!"
"Which side do you think Fortress will take in a situation like this where the evidence is overwhelming?"
"The only way we can shut him up now is to hand Anna over to him, so that he has no reason to go to war with us. Or do you want to put the whole family in danger for the sake of a woman?"
Victor clenched his fists, his eyes full of reluctance. Old Jones sighed and said, "I know you love your wife very much, but now, you must make a choice, Victor."
"And don't forget that you have more than one son."
Victor closed his eyes and suddenly seemed much older: "I know, father, I know what to do."
Old Jones then said 'hmm' and waved his hand.
Victor left the study and stood in the corridor for a moment before walking back.
Go back to your room.
He opened the door and saw his wife sitting on the sofa, flipping through a photo album. As she looked at it, tears welled up in her eyes.
Victor knew that it was a photo of his son Jack.
Hearing footsteps, Anna closed the album and looked up at her husband: "Is Elhoin going to hand me over?"
"You knew?" Victor sat down next to her, not looking angry at all.
Anna nodded: "Gail came to see me just now, and he told me that Wang Lingjun from the Waste Collection City had just contacted your father."
Victor sighed: "Anna, you are so stupid."
"I'm stupid?"
Anna stood up suddenly: "Victor, that's my son! He was killed for no apparent reason, but you men are hesitant about this and that, and no one is willing to avenge him."
"Since you are unwilling to take action, then I will do it myself as a mother!"
Victor looked at her and said, "It's not that we haven't taken action, it's just that the time has not come yet."
Anna screamed, "I don't care, I just want to avenge Jack, I want to avenge him!"
She burst into tears.
Victor shook his head, stood up, walked to the table, opened a drawer, took out a pistol and put it in his wife's hand.
"This is all I can do now, Anna. If you don't want to be humiliated, this is the only thing that can help you."
The color on Anna's face suddenly disappeared. She staggered and took a few steps back. "Is that so? Victor, in the end, not only can you not avenge your son, you can't even protect your wife."
"You're a coward!"
Anna laughed and looked at the gun in her hand. She turned around and walked into her room.
A moment later, a gunshot was heard in the room.
Victor closed his eyes in pain.
... ... ... ..
Scavenger city.
Tianyang had just returned from the parliament headquarters building. He had expressed to the Speaker Lei Fu his determination to go to war with Elhoin. He originally thought that the Speaker would oppose it and even kick him out of the parliament to avoid being implicated.
Unexpectedly, the skinny old man not only agreed, but also asked Adolf and Gong Zhibin, two congressmen, to cooperate, which made it possible for Tianyang to mobilize more people.
The number of horses increased suddenly.
Not only that, after he returned to the manor, Cui Yao, the leader of the 'Blue Fortress' and the 'Blue Feather Corps', came to him and expressed that the 'Blue Fortress' was willing to support him.
If Tianyang wants to go to war, Cui Yao's "Blue Feather Corps" can join the battle at any time.
As for the Fire Ant Gang and the Yunshang Society, they also had their own opinions.
Obviously, this was a change brought about after Tianyang defeated Wang Lingjun.
After Tianyang dealt with these things, he went to Chang Xitong. He had to have a good talk with his daughter to see if he could understand what had happened to her and what her current condition was.
After sleeping for a day, Xitong woke up naturally. When Tianyang found her, she was in Hongxiu's room, lying on the bed listening to Hongxiu telling stories.
Seeing Tianyang coming in, Xitong rushed over as usual, but the difference was that before, she ran over, but now, she flew over directly.
That’s right!
It’s flying!
There seemed to be an anti-gravity field around her, which allowed her to float in the air and fly at a fast speed. Tianyang also noticed that when she flew over, Xitong's hair was glowing, just like the iconic glowing beard of the evil god.
This made Tianyang a little worried.
Worried that Xitong will eventually become a divine evil.
"dad!"
The little girl, who looked to be about six or seven years old, opened her arms and rushed over. Tian Yang caught her and scratched her nose, saying, "You are not allowed to fly anymore."
"Why? I think it's very convenient. What's more, I have learned a lot of new skills." Xitong said with a little pride, her eyes blinking.
Tianyang held her in his arms and said to Hongxiu, "I'll take her away. You have a good rest. I'll ask Alice to bring you dinner later."
Then, Tianyang carried Xitong to his room. He snapped his fingers, and suddenly a silver light appeared. Soon, a mysterious archway that seemed illusory and unreal appeared in the room. The door creaked and wobbled as it opened.
Xitong opened her eyes wide and called out curiously, "Dad, what is this?"
Tian Yang smiled faintly and said, "It's called the Crack Door. It's one of Dad's most important secrets."
As he spoke, Tianyang carried her into the crack door and came to the collection room. Tianyang snapped his fingers again and closed the door.
Xitong hugged Tianyang's neck and said, "Since it's a secret, why let me know it?"
"Because you are my daughter, you are the person closest to me, so I don't need to keep any secrets from you."
Tianyang put her on the worn sofa and said with a smile: "So, if you have any secrets, you can tell me."
Xitong blinked her eyes, looked at Tianyang with admiration and said, "Dad, you are so awesome. How did you know I had a secret that I didn't tell you?"
Tianyang squatted down, gently held Xitong's shoulders and said: "Then Xitong, can you tell me this secret?"
The little girl lowered her head and bit her lips gently, her hands not knowing where to put them: "Well, then Daddy has to promise not to scold Xitong."
Tianyang smiled, rubbed her little head and said, "How could Dad scold you? I can't bear it."
Xitong then raised her head, her eyes shrank, and she circled her two little fingers and said, "When you were not at home, I broke the ornaments on your table..."
Tianyang was stunned: "That's it?"
The little girl nodded: "I was very scared at the time, but Hongxiu said it was okay, she said she would not tell dad, this is between me and
Her little secret.”
"Dad, you won't blame me, will you?"
Tian Yang laughed and said, "How could that be? This is just a small matter. Let's go to the street."
He took Xitong's hand, walked out of the house, and came to the streets of the drifting town. Now the fusion of the two gaps is nearing completion, and the sky is no longer gray, but reflects the red color like the sunset glow, as if the whole sky is burning.
The outline of the mountain can be seen in the distance, and from time to time a black dot flies by, and no one knows what it is.
"Dad, where is this?" Xitong looked around curiously.
"This is the inner crack, a mysterious space. No one will disturb us no matter what we say or do here." Tianyang let go of his hand and said, "Come on, fly one for Dad to see."
Xitong blinked and said, "Is it okay? Can I fly here?"
“Just don’t fly too high or too far.” A black fire crown appeared in Tianyang’s eyes, and he issued orders to the surrounding Yamas, telling them not to approach this place.
"Great." Xitong immediately started to jog, and her long hair began to light up regularly, flickering from the roots to the ends.
Her hair fluttered up first, and then the little girl jumped up into the air. She giggled and flew around above Tianyang's head like a free bird.
Tianyang noticed that when Xitong was flying, an imperceptible force field appeared around her. Once when Xitong was flying by, Tianyang raised his hand and wanted to touch her, but felt invisible resistance, and the force field gently and naturally pushed his hand away.
"Xitong."
Tianyang shouted to the little girl in the sky: "Besides flying, what else can you do?"
Xitong crossed her legs in mid-air, as if she was sitting on an invisible platform, with a thoughtful expression on her face. Then her eyes lit up and she shouted, "I think I can still do this!"
She raised her little hand and pressed hard towards a two-story building next to her.
Tianyang suddenly felt an invisible energy field pressing down on the small building. The small building seemed to be unable to bear the weight. The walls and pillars responsible for bearing the weight were shattered first, and then the whole building collapsed with a loud bang, raising a cloud of dust.
Xitong was stunned in mid-air, and then, as if frightened, she flew over with a whoosh, hugged Tianyang's neck, and whispered, "Dad, I didn't mean to do that. I broke your things again."
Tianyang looked at the building that had turned into ruins, and now he roughly understood how Xitong had defeated Mihawk.
He patted his daughter's back gently and said, "It's okay, it's okay. But you have to promise me that you can't use this ability casually when you are outside."
"You can only use it unless you are in danger, or someone you care about is in danger. But you must tell me immediately afterwards. Can Xitong do this?"
Xitong raised her little face: "Just like last night?"
Tianyang nodded: "Just like last night."
"Okay, I promise Dad, I can make a pinky promise with you." The little girl smiled and stretched out her little hand.
"Okay, pinky promise." Tianyang stretched out a finger and held her hand tightly together, then said, "Let's go back and have dinner."
"Okay, let's eat!" Xitong clapped her hands happily, and it seemed that her saliva was about to flow out at the thought of having something to eat.
Tian Yang pinched her cheek amusingly and said, "Don't eat too much, or you'll turn into a fat girl."
Then he snapped his fingers and opened the 'Gap Door'. When he walked in, Tianyang looked deeply at the small building that was razed to the ground by Xitong.
