The ice crystal was as tiny as a grain of rice, purely as a diamond. But its appearance made the old man feel terrified, and all his movements were stagnant in the air.

Looking at the tiny ice crystal, his eyes were solemn, turning his head little by little...

"Is it you? Heck?"

The old man's movements were very slow and stiff, and his expression was even more solemn. Yes, his appearance did not seem to be asking a subordinate at all, but was alert to something. And as his voice came out, a figure really came out of the entrance of the cave, with Sivina and Rainbow behind him.

Isn't it Heck?

I saw that he was not wearing armor, and a faint cold air lingered outside his body, repelling all harmful substances. He walked easily in the pool of blood, walked to the bottom of the altar before raising his head and showing a faint smile to the dead old man.

"I've met again, old man and lord."

"It's really you?" The old man's pupils suddenly contracted. "You... aren't you dead?"

"Oh, this is not a good greeting." Huck shrugged and said seriously. "But I think you must have not received any real news, right? This is just your guess, and guess may not be reality."

"In fact..." Heck took a deep breath and showed a faint smile. "Not only did I not die, I also lived a good life. I had never encountered any trouble along the way. I had never encountered any obstacles. So I came here and walked here easily, and saw your embarrassed side."

Speaking of this, Heck suddenly laughed happily. He pointed to the mottled traces on the dead old man's body. "But this really surprised me. Is this still our great dead old man? He was forced to this point by several meteorite kids. If you say it out, you will definitely become a joke in the mercenary world!"

"What do you know!" The dead old man was furious. "I've experienced consecutive battles and fought with Pluto Dirk. It's already very good to be able to do this! By the way, you're here just the right time. These mercenaries actually disobeyed my orders and wanted to occupy this ruins. I felt a little uncomfortable. You can kill them!"

The old man said this with high sound and no trace was seen at all. In fact, until now, according to the open relationship, the old man was still the leader of this mission. It was natural for him to make this order.

But everyone present knew the truth.

Heck's eyes suddenly widened, as if he had never expected that the old man who had always been strong would say these hypocritical words. He was stunned. After a long time, he laughed out loud.

"Hahahahahahaha... Dead old man, are you kidding? They disobey your orders? Trying to monopolize this ruins? Haha... Don't tell me that I don't know who they are? Don't you think that only they are the real owners of this ruins?"

"When it comes to the raider... it seems that you are more in line with your identity..."

At the end, Heck showed contempt without any conceit. At the same time, he waved his right hand one by one, and the boundless ice crystal immediately flew out of his hand, covering every inch of space around him. As visible to the naked eye, the tiny ice crystal on the old man's finger grew rapidly and turned into a beautiful ice flower. It was as if it was growing on the old man's hands.

The dead old man groaned, and his face turned pale again.

Heck seemed simple this time, but it was equivalent to stabbing his energy into the dead old man's body. It was a completely hostile act. What made the dead old man even more afraid of was that even his power could not drive this beautiful ice flower out of his hands. When did Heck grow to such a level?

The old man's heart was a little cold, but his expression was unyielding, and he said to Heck coldly.

"Do you know what you are doing? I am now representing cosmic mercenaries. If you support them, you will betray the mercenaries!"

"Huck, I pity you for growing up and don't be confused by temporary feelings. No matter these people, no matter what their captain has to do with you, you must remember that you represent the cosmic mercenaries now, you must consider the future of mercenaries and the future of all mankind. Personal emotions must be put aside, otherwise you will be the enemy of mankind!"

Of course, the old man said righteous words, with a more serious expression as if he was a pot. Unfortunately, no matter how hard he tried to play his role, Heck...

But it is no longer the Heck of the past.

Looking at the serious face of the dead old man, Heck's face gradually became serious. He was silent for a long time before he said word by word.

"My deceased old man, I wonder what you think of the ending of Lord Niya?"

What!?

The old man's pupils suddenly contracted! A look of horror appeared on his face!

Yes, Heck's words completely answered the question, and it seemed to be inconsistent with his own words. But only he knew what a terrible meaning this sentence contained!!

Niya!!

This is an ordinary name for most people, but for the two people present! The old man and Heck are a forbidden name!! No one dared to mention this name in front of the two, and everyone mentioned it was dead!

Niya is not a person, it is a symbol and a faith.

For the dead old man, she is just a product of drunken sex, but for Heck, it is equivalent to the whole world!!

Because, she is the daughter of the dead old man, Heck's sect leader!!

In reality, the relationship between the old man and Heck is not harmonious because of the different backgrounds of the two sides. With the old man's status, of course, he doesn't look down on the "beggar boy" who came out of the bottom of the universe, and Heck also doesn't like the nobles. The reason why they can be connected is because of Niya...

It was Niya who let Hek get up from the dirty mud and water, and from a beggar to the powerful man who is now a powerful man. It was Niya who injected a clear spring into Hek's heart in this cold world.

She is Heck's sect leader, mother, sister, and the deepest faith!

But……

She is dead.

Dead in a battle called "Fate". That fate was originally pointed out to her by the old man. The old man hoped that she would marry a strong mercenary man at that time, but Niya made her own decision. She used her life to reject this supposedly natural combination. The strong mercenary man fell in a very ordinary mission thirty-seven years after Niya's death.

There is no evidence that he was murdered, but he can only say that he is not lucky. But only the dead old man knows that not everything is blamed on luck. And when chance becomes inevitable, luck becomes a fig leaf.

In that accident, the old man knew that there was a shadow standing behind. Its name was Heck.

A 'beggar boy' who should have rolled in the mud and was despised by everyone.

And today, in this largest casino related to his ambition and his future, the "beggar boy" who was once despised by everyone came back. He stood in front of him and asked him a seemingly ordinary question but shocked the dead old man.

"What do you think of Lord Niya's ending?"

Heck asked for the second time as he looked at the old man's hideous face.

Then, his right hand slightly raised and pointed it straight into the old man's eyes.
