Allen was indeed disappointed. In his life, Lucy could be said to be his first true friend. After they had experienced a short but dangerous journey together, this girl had already left an indelible silhouette in Allen's heart. And now, she was traveling far away. It was a lie to say that she wasn't sad. He was still just a teenager. Even though the hardships of life had made his heart harder than steel, there were still some soft and warm places.
Three fingers suddenly waved in front of Allen's eyes, and Lucy shouted, "Three years! Allen, I'll come back for you in three years. "
She scratched her head awkwardly and stuck out her tongue, "This time, I did make a big fuss. The old man will definitely ground me. But it doesn't matter. I'll definitely come back for you in three years. Don't let anyone kill you in advance. "
"No … No way!" Allen's eyes gradually lit up and he said, "You too, don't let anyone kill you."
Lucy chuckled, "In Adahua Planet, the person who can kill me hasn't been born yet!"
Even though she was laughing, the faint sorrow in the corner of the girl's eyes was hard to conceal. When she stopped, she gently took off the pendant around her neck and said, "This is the Tears of Elusa. Elusa is the moon goddess we worship. I'll give it to you for the time being. On a moonlit night, put it in the moonlight and you can see me in the moonstone. "
Lucy pulled Allen's hand and put the pendant in the youth's hand. Allen could feel the girl's body temperature between the pendant.
The door to the theater opened. Metallon stood at the door and said in a deep voice, "Your Highness, it's time."
"I know." Lucy lowered her head, not wanting Allen to see her red eyes. She gave the youth a strong hug and grabbed the crown ornament that had fallen to the side and left. When she was far enough away, she turned around and blinked her eyes and smiled, "I'm leaving, Allen. See you in three years!"
"Definitely!" Allen said firmly.
Lucy nodded and walked out of the theater with Metallon. Allen could still hear their conversation. As soon as Metallon left the theater, he took a deep breath and said, "Your Highness, where is the Tears of Elusa?"
"Leave it to Allen for safekeeping."
"That's Elusa's Tear!"
"Oh, it's just a pendant. Teacher, you're overreacting."
"That's not an ordinary pendant, it's …"
As the voice faded away, Allen smiled. He opened his hand, looked at the pendant in his palm, and sat on a chair in the theater. The pendant's workmanship was exquisite. From the carvings of the crescent-shaped gems to the patterns of the fine silver threads, it was obvious that this pendant was extraordinary. Allen held it tightly and swore that he would personally put it back on Lucy's neck in three years. Tyrannical Xi Killer's Wife
"She's really a special lady, isn't she?" Suddenly, a voice sounded from the side.
Allen jumped up as if an electric current had flashed through his entire body. Although he was distracted by Lucy's departure, when had his vigilance been so poor that he didn't even know that someone had touched him? One had to know that if the other party had any ill intentions, he would have already turned into a corpse by now.
In the blink of an eye, he jumped onto a row of chairs in front of him. Allen bent down and put the pendant in his pocket, ready to pounce at any time. Only then did he see that there was a silver-spotted old man beside him. He wore a well-made suit and placed his hands quietly on his knees. His strict and perfect sitting posture made Allen see an elegant gentleman.
"I'm sorry to scare you." The old man looked at Allen and said sincerely, "Allow me to introduce myself first. I am Horn, Horn Bescot."
"Allen."
The old man nodded and smiled, "Then, Mr. Allen, are you going to squat down and talk to me? That's not very polite. "
Allen jumped down from the chair awkwardly. Laozi patted his seat and said, "Don't be nervous. Sit down and let's have a casual chat."
At this time, the youth still didn't know what Bescot represented, so he naturally didn't know Horn's identity. He walked over and sat beside Horn. Allen didn't know that it wasn't easy to sit beside this old man. Even the direct descendants of his clan had to make a lot of moves and arrangements to see Horn before they could get such a rare opportunity.
If they knew that Allen had casually sat beside this old man, they would probably be angered to death.
"I have to thank you, Mr. Allen." The old man said indifferently, "You won the competition, and at the same time, you won me a rich reward."
Allen nodded, "You're welcome."
He had also heard that the participants in the death arena would become betting targets. In Allen's understanding, the old man in front of him must have invested in him and reaped the rewards. But what Allen didn't know was that even with Bescot's wealth, winning 50 million Federation dollars from him in one night was still a considerable sum of money. Tiange, three lifetimes are worth three lifetimes.
This was because Allen was ranked, and the odds were one to one. Otherwise, Horn's rewards would have been even greater.
Horn smiled and didn't explain. He spread out his hands and said, "Look at Mr. Allen. Although our Bescot family is not the largest in Babylon, we are still a little famous. Your performance in the death arena is remarkable. My family welcomes talents like you. I wonder if you would like to accept the invitation of an old man to join our Bescot family? "
Although Tonislaw had also said that the winner of every death arena would have a chance to win the favor of some families, he had not expected the invitation to come so quickly. But Allen had no intention of joining a family immediately. Before that, there were two more things he had to do personally.
The youth shook his head. "Thank you for your invitation, Mr. Horn. I …"
"Oh, don't refuse yet. Perhaps after seeing this, you will change your mind. "The old man suddenly took out a pocket watch from his pocket and opened it. There was a yellowed photo inside. He handed the pocket watch to Allen.
Allen took it doubtfully and his gaze fell on the photo. In the photo was a stubborn and pretty girl, and her outline was somewhat similar to Allen's. Allen was slightly shocked when he saw the photo. At this moment, the old man beside him said, "I have four sons and two daughters. The girl in the photo is my youngest daughter and my favorite one …"
"If possible, I want to give her everything. I want her to know how much I love her as a father. But I'm also the father of other children. I can't be too partial, so I'm always strict. Perhaps it was because of this that she gradually alienated me, allowing a man to take advantage of her. The child who treats me as a treasure is taken away from me just like that. " Horn closed his eyes slightly. His face was filled with pain. "If I could go back in time, perhaps I should have had a good talk with her instead of removing her from the family in a fit of anger, making it so that she would never be able to return to my side."
"You might not be able to understand how painful this is for a father." Horn looked at Allen and his eyes softened. "I thought I would never hear from her in my life until I saw you on the live broadcast at the beginning of this year's death arena. Allen, do you know? I believe it was God's guidance that brought you to Babylon. So can you tell me, is your mother's name … Lanny? "
Allen's entire body trembled again, and the pocket watch in his hand fell to the ground. He looked at Horn, breathing heavily as he cried out involuntarily, "You're … my grandfather?"
Horn stretched out his trembling hand and placed it on Allen's face. "Yes, child. Your mother, Lanny, her full name should be Lanny Bescot. Heavens! My child, how is she now? Is she doing well? "The Sovereign Lord
"She …" Allen's vision instantly blurred, and the black snow and silver ring flickered in front of him again. In the end, he couldn't say anything. Allen lowered his head, not wanting anyone to see his weakness at this moment.
Even if the person in front of him was his grandfather.
Horn closed his eyes, his chest rising and falling rapidly. After a long time, he sighed and said, "She really left, didn't she? I think so. Otherwise, she wouldn't have let her child participate in the death arena. "
"Five years ago, a predator attacked the town we lived in. Mother, she … "Allen picked up the pocket watch on the ground and looked at the mother of his age in the photo." On that day, she left me forever. "
"Predators!" Horn's eyes widened and shone brightly, "Alright, I will make them regret being born in this world!"
"No!" Allen jumped up and shouted, "I will personally avenge this enmity. I will use my own strength!"
Horn looked carefully at the child in front of him. The old man sighed and said, "You are indeed Lanny's child. You are as stubborn and persistent. You can take revenge on your own, but child, do you have the strength? "
'"It's not easy to find the predators. The surface of the earth is so big, and the manpower and material resources you need to use are definitely not something you can possess right now. If you want to take revenge with your own hands, then I suggest you return to your family and me. " Horn's voice grew louder and louder, "I can't give you great power or wealth immediately, but I can pave the way for you, a path to the pinnacle of power. When you become the head of the Bescot Clan, you can use all the power of the clan to do what you want. Just remember, if you want something from the clan, you must contribute something. This is the duty of every Patriarch. "
'"Of course, this path won't be easy. I can even tell you that once you accept the invitation, you won't be able to gain power immediately, but you will immediately gain many enemies. I can't even immediately put you in the line of succession. I can only help you, but you have to rely more on yourself. "
At this point, Horn took a deep breath and said, "Then tell me, Lanny's child. Even so, are you still willing to accept my advice? "
Allen didn't think too long. He looked at the old man and said solemnly, "I am willing!"
Perhaps he still didn't know what this sentence meant to him until many years later, when he looked back at the past. Only then did Allen know that these simple words had completely changed his life!
