After confirming that Tian Beiming was not an enemy, Saber left Gotham the next day.
As he said, he did not care about Robin's choice. She was an adult and should have her own thoughts. He only reminded Robin to keep an eye on the daring Catherine and her "little The Devil Gang" before he brought Suntas, Erwin, and Ciarsen to Central City.
This time, he did not take The Devil Gang's private jet. Instead, he drove to Star City and headed to Central City because he received a very important piece of information from Tian Beiming.
"Can you confirm the authenticity of the information?"
Cyber sat in the back seat of the large off-road vehicle with his eyes closed. Beside him, Erwin pushed up his glasses and held a stack of newspapers in his hand.
"From the looks of it, we can be sure that it's Oliver Quinn who went missing at sea five years ago. But from these newspapers, we can't get the guy's specific address at all. It seems that his mother has protected him very well. Not a single bit of personal information leaked out."
"Fufu …"
Saber let out a sigh of relief and opened his eyes. "Suntas, Erwin, how long do you need to find his hiding place?"
The skilled assassin who was driving snorted.
"He's just a playboy. One day is enough. Boss, we will bring him to you!"
"Okay, I'll give you one day."
Saber closed his eyes again. "Ciarsen, go to Central City first. Make preparations there. After we're done with Star City, we will immediately rush over."
Ciarsen nodded silently. This young man who originally hated the identity of a mutant had completely accepted Saber's words after experiencing the battle of the New York Sanctum and the Manhattan Hell's Gate incident. He had also started to train his abilities with great effort. By the way, Ciarsen was a young man who had followed Saber for a long time. It had been almost half a year since he joined The Devil Gang. In the end, he did not manage to escape the contract storm.
However, he was different from the other guys who chose the handsome devil. As a top student in biology at the State University of New York, he chose a very special devil. Yes … an extraordinary existence.
After the assignment was completed, the four of them separated after entering Star City. Saber drove the car alone along the road that had become somewhat fuzzy in his memory. After 20 minutes, the car stopped in front of a somewhat old house.
Through the sunglasses on his face, he could still see the garden in front of the house. It didn't seem to have changed much since the last time he came here. Through the window, he could still see people busy in the house. He leaned against the seat and lit a cigarette, but he didn't smoke it. When the cigarette burned out, he threw it on the ground, opened the car door, and walked toward the house.
"Ding dong!"
The doorbell rang. The gloomy Daina Lorraine Lance was stunned for a moment. She subconsciously looked up at the time. It should still be in the afternoon. It should still be working hours. Who would visit her at this time?
However, as a very polite prosecutor, she turned around and opened the door. Then, she saw the young man in a trench coat and sunglasses standing outside the door. Saber took off his glasses. He had a gentle smile on his face as he looked at Lorraine in front of him. The latter obviously still remembered Saber, but she couldn't remember his name.
"You are?"
"Saber, Saber Hawk, Christian Old Teach's family … I came to see Officer Lance on the way."
Loriel suddenly remembered that this was the man who had beaten up Oliver Quinn five years ago. That's right, he had come with his father at that time, but his father had already passed away four years ago …
She smiled and welcomed Saber into the room. She brushed her hair and asked softly.
"When Uncle Christian passed away, my father and I went to Gotham, but we didn't see you … I heard from little Catherine that you went to a place very far away?"
"Yes, very far away."
Saber sat on the sofa and whispered, "It's as far away as hell … By the way, is Officer Lance here? I saw his car parked outside. Also, I remember that you have a sister. She's not at home either? "
This was just a casual question out of courtesy. Saber didn't expect that it would uncover another tragedy. Lorraine's expression became sad.
"My sister, Sarah, she … she's dead."
"Hmm?"
Saber immediately realized his slip of the tongue. His fingers jumped a few times on the table. "I'm sorry, I'm not sure …"
"It's okay. It was already five years ago anyway."
"Five years ago again? Doesn't that mean that it happened after we left Star City? "
Saber frowned. Then, he heard Lorraine say through gritted teeth, "Yes, and it was because of Oliver Quinn, the man who should go to hell! He destroyed my family! "
"What do you mean? Oliver killed Sarah? But I heard that he went missing in a shipwreck five years ago. He didn't come back until three months ago … Could it be that Sarah was also on that ship? "
Saber rubbed his forehead. "That girl was tricked into going on the ship in the name of love in the end?"
"That's all in the past."
Lorraine obviously didn't want to talk too much about this matter, but the flash of pain in her eyes already told Saber the answer. So, Saber changed the topic. "Then Officer Lance must be very sad."
"Yes, he's so sad that he's given up on himself."
Speaking of her father, other than sadness, Lorraine also felt a little unnatural. She looked at Saber's eyes and finally sighed.
"Come with me, Saber. He's in the room."
A moment later, Saber stood in front of the closed door. He frowned and looked at everything in the room. In the dark environment, the once upright Officer Quentin Lance was lying on the table in a very indecent posture, snoring softly. At his feet, there were all kinds of wine bottles. There were still remnants of wine on the table, and the floor was full of dirty things. It was obvious that he had been here for a long time.
"When the news of Sarah's disappearance came back, he was too sad."
Lorraine turned around with some pain. She suppressed her sobs and said to Saber, "At that time, he broke down once. I knew that after my mother left him, we were his only family, but Sarah … Sarah broke his heart again and again. During that time, he almost went crazy, but in the end, he got through it. Sarah was just missing. She still had a chance to come back. His will kept him from falling, but three months ago, Oliver Quinn came back and brought back the news of Sarah's death …"
"He finally collapsed. The lies that kept him alive and his will were exposed, and he completely turned into a pile of mud. However, you're his final connection. He couldn't possibly give up on the two of you, but he was also entangled by pain. Alright … alright."
Saber sighed. "This is a pitiful man … Give me some time. I'll try to persuade him."
He rolled up his sleeves and walked into the room. Lorraine looked at him with some worry. "He's very stubborn!"
"Don't worry, girl."
Saber turned around and smiled at Lorraine. "I'm very good at persuading people … Give me and your father some privacy, okay?"
Lorraine was obviously a little out of her wits, especially when she saw Saber's eyes that seemed to have turned black. A voice sounded in her heart, advising her to let Saber handle all of this. This person seemed very trustworthy.
"Okay … Okay."
Lorraine nodded and turned around to close the door. Then, the room returned to darkness.
"Quentin Lance!"
Saber reached out and lifted Lance from his seat. This rough action woke the sheriff from his deep sleep. He opened his sleepy eyes and glanced at Saber. His face could not be seen clearly in the darkness. He said in confusion, "Go away! Give me the wine! "
"You want the wine to numb yourself, to escape the reality that your daughter is dead and the culprit is at large, right?"
Saber's words were like a knife that stabbed directly into Lance's heart. This once upright person was completely enraged. He grabbed Saber's collar and roared.
"What do you know! Bastard! You don't know anything! Go away! "
"Bang!"
Quentin Lance was sent flying into the air by the punch and fell on the wine bottle on the ground. He was just an ordinary person, so Saber held back his strength to avoid killing him instantly. However, this punch was still powerful enough to stun Lance. The good news was that the pain also woke him up from his drunken state. Saber bent down and lifted him up again.
"If it wasn't for my father, do you think I would care about you? The world is full of cowards like you! Look at you, you're like an old dog that has been kicked and can only beg for mercy! You can't even protect your own daughter and you still have the guts to drink here! Don't you like to drink? Fine! I'll let you drink to your heart's content! "
With a flick of his left hand, Seiber took out a bottle of high concentration alcohol that was placed in the space of his sandalwood fan. With a light twist of his finger, he broke the bottle and poured the alcohol onto Lance's face!
This was high-concentration medical alcohol. Even the strongest drunkard could not stand it. Quentin only lasted for less than two seconds before he struggled desperately to break free from Saber's grip and fell to the ground. He was completely sober now. There was a clear fist mark on his left cheek and blood was flowing from the corner of his mouth. He looked miserable.
"Who are you! Bastard! You're … Wait, you're Old Teach's godson! You're Saber, right? I remember you! "
Lance rubbed his face carelessly and looked at Saber. His miserable face was full of anger but it soon turned into sadness. This middle-aged man was like a child who had lost his most beloved thing. He curled up in the corner and covered his face with his fingers as if he was unwilling to accept this painful reality.
"What can I do?"
"I'm the one who maintains the law and order of this city! I can't go against my responsibility … I have to watch the bastard who killed my daughter walk around the city every day. I can't wait to pull out my gun and kill him … But I can't … I can't do that! I've already lost a daughter. I can't lose another one. I don't want the next person Loriel accuses to be the father she has always idolized … "
"What can I do? Tell me! "
Saber walked forward and wiped the alcohol off his hands on Lance's clothes. His low voice sounded in the darkness.
"Listen to me, Mr. Lance. You're the one who maintains the law and order of this city. It's a very noble job, but you're also the father of your daughters. You're born with the responsibility to protect them. But now, look at you. You've failed to protect your daughters and you've failed to punish that bastard … You see, he killed your daughter, didn't he? Then he's a murderer! He's a criminal! A villain who deserves to be shot! "
"By killing him, you're maintaining the law and order of this city. You're preventing more poor girls from falling into his trap, aren't you? This isn't a crime. You're protecting this city. At the same time, you're avenging your daughter's death and protecting your other daughter. Don't forget … "
Saber whispered in Lance's ear.
"Don't forget, Loriel was once that bastard's girlfriend, wasn't she? Do you think that bastard will let Loriel go? Do you still want him to hurt your only daughter? "
"You know that when you're faced with a wild dog barking at you, any retreat will only allow it to hurt you. The only way to prevent you from getting hurt is to hit it with a stick or give it a bullet … You're too weak, Lance! Quentin Lance! Are you a coward now? Or are you just saying that you want to protect your daughters just for show? "
"No! I'm not! "
Lance's eyes widened to the extreme. He was like a wild beast that wanted to devour its prey. "I'm not! Whoever dares to hurt Loriel, I'll make them regret being born! I swear! "
"Very good! That's the way! That's how Dad's friends should be. You'll always put your family's safety above everything else! "
Saber patted Lance's shoulder in satisfaction. Then, he changed the topic. "But he's already hurt you, hasn't he? Don't forget, he first abandoned Loriel, then came to seduce your Sarah. In the end, he killed her! He's already hurt her. He hurt both your daughters! Oh my god! How can you allow such a bastard to live? "
"Are you still a good father?"
Seiber used traces of dark energy and the Eyes of Repentance to slightly stimulate Lance's mind. At this moment when Lance was at his weakest, Seiber's words were like the last spark that splashed into a barrel of gasoline that had already been opened.
"I'm going to kill him! I swear! "
Lance clenched his fists. Saber took out a black, cold pistol and stuffed it into Lance's hand. "Don't worry … He'll be caught soon. When that time comes, I'll hand him over to you … What right does a bastard who hurt your family have to live in this world?"
"The time for revenge is coming!"
"Beep beep beep beep"
As they spoke, Saber's phone rang. He frowned as he picked it up and put it to his ear.
"Erwin is injured? Hmm? An arrow wielder in a green hood? "
He put down his phone, and a strange light flashed in his eyes.
"Hehe … This is interesting."
