053 Three Years

Alan did feel lost. In his life, Lucy could be said to be the first true friend. After they had experienced a short but thrilling journey together, the girl had left an indelible silhouette in Alan's heart. Now, she was traveling far away, saying that she was not sad was a lie. He was just a teenager, even though his heart became stronger than steel due to the hardships of life, there were still some soft and warm places.

Three fingers suddenly shook in front of Allen's eyes, and Lucy said loudly: "Three years! Allen, I will come back to find you in three years."

She scratched her hair a little embarrassedly again and said, "The noise this time is indeed a bit big. The old man will definitely confine me. But it doesn't matter. I will definitely come to you in three years. Don't let someone kill me in advance."

"That's it...that's not!" Allen's eyes gradually lit up and he said, "So too, don't let someone kill him."

Lucy smiled "hehe" long: "On Ada Huaxing, the person who can kill me has not been born yet!"

Although she smiled so hard, the faint sorrow of parting in the corner of the girl's eyes was hard to hide. After she stopped, she gently took off the pendant between her neck: "This is the tears of Ai Lusha. Ai Lusha is the moon god we worship. I will give it to you for the time being. On a night with the moon, put it under the moonlight, and you can see me in the moon stone."

Lucy pulled Allen's hand and put the pendant on the boy's hand. Allen could feel that the pendant was carrying the girl's body temperature.

The door of the theater opened at this time, and Metalon stood at the door and said in a deep voice: "Your Highness, the time has come."

"I know." Lucy lowered her head, not wanting Allen to see her red eyes. After giving the boy a hug, she grabbed the crown that fell beside her and left. When she walked far enough, she turned around and blinked and smiled: "I'll leave Allen, see you in three years!"

"Sure!" Allen said hard.

Lucy nodded and then walked out of the theater with Metalon. Allen could still hear their conversation. As soon as Metalon left the theater, he took a breath and said, "Your Highness, where are the tears of love Lusha?"

"Leave it to Allen for safekeeping."

"That's the tears of love Lusha!"

"Oh, it's just a pendant, teacher, you're so fussy."

"That's not an ordinary pendant, it's..."

The sound gradually faded away, and Allen smiled. He spread his hands, looked at the neck pendant in his palm, and sat on the back chair in the theater. The neck pendant was finely crafted, from the carvings of the crescent-shaped gems to the direction of the thin silver wire, all of which hint at the extraordinaryness of the pendant. Allen held it gently and vowed to put it back on Lucy's neck in three years. The domineering chief killer wife

"What a special lady, isn't it?" Suddenly a voice rang beside her.

Alan jumped up as if an electric current was passing through his whole body. Although he was distracted by Lucy's departure, he still had no idea when he was so alert that he could touch him. You should know that if the other party was malicious, he would be afraid that he would have turned into a corpse now.

He jumped to a row of chairs in front of him, Alan bowed his body, put the pendant in his pocket, and made a move that could be slammed at any time. Then he saw clearly that there was an old man with silver hair next to his position just now. He was wearing a well-made suit and his hands were quietly placed on his knees. His rigorous and perfect sitting posture allowed Alan to see a gentleman.

"I'm sorry, I scared you." The old man looked at Allen and said sincerely: "Please allow me to introduce myself first. I am Horn, Horn Bethcod."

"Allen."

The old man nodded and smiled, "So Mr. Allen, are you going to squat down and talk to me? This is not very polite."

Allen jumped out of the chair awkwardly, and I reached out and patted him in the position just now and said, "Don't be nervous, sit down, let's talk casually."

At this time, the young man did not know the meaning of Bethcod, so naturally he did not know Horn's identity. He walked over as he said and sat next to Horn. Allen didn't know that it was not an easy thing to sit next to this old man. Even those direct children in his family needed to see Horn and had to go around and arrange so that he could get such a rare opportunity.

If they were told that Alan would sit next to the old man casually, they would probably be angry.

"I have to thank you, Mr. Allen." The old man said calmly: "You won the competition and also won a rich reward for me."

Allen nodded: "You're welcome."

He also heard that participants in the Death Arena would become betting targets. In Allen's understanding, the old man in front of him must have invested in himself and received returns. But what Allen didn't know was that even with Bethcod's strong financial resources, winning 50 million federal coins overnight in him was a considerable fortune. Tiange, three lives to live up to three lives.

This is because Allen ranks first and the odds are one-to-one. Otherwise, Horn's rewards will be even richer.

Horn smiled slightly, without saying anything, and spread his hands and said, "Look at Mr. Allen, although we, Bethcod, are not the largest family in Babylon, are also a bit famous. Your performance in the death ring is remarkable. My family welcomes talents like you very much. I wonder, are you willing to accept the invitation of an old man to join our Bethcod family?"

Alan's campaign, although Tonysff also said that every victory in the Death Arena has a chance to win the favor of certain families, but he didn't expect the invitation to come so quickly. But Alan did not intend to join a certain family immediately. Before that, there were two things he had to do with his own hands.

The boy shook his head: "Thank you very much for your invitation, Mr. Horn, I..."

"Oh, don't be too busy refusing. Maybe 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.

Alan took it in confusion and his eyes fell on the photo. The photo was a pretty girl with a stubborn face, and her outline was somewhat similar to Alan. When she saw this photo, Alan was slightly shocked. At this time, the old man next to her said: "I have four sons and two daughters. The girl in the photo is my youngest daughter and one of my favorites..."

"If possible, I want to give her everything. I hope she knows how much I love her as a father. But I am also the father of other children. I cannot be too partial, so I always remain strict. Perhaps because of this, she gradually alienated me, so a man has the opportunity to take advantage of it. The child who regards me as a treasure is taken away from me." Horn closed his eyes slightly, and his face was filled with pain: "If time can be repeated, maybe I should have a good talk with her, instead of expelling her from the family in anger, so that she will never be able to return to me."

"You may not understand now, what a painful thing this is for a father." Horn looked at Allen, his eyes softened: "I thought I would never get news about her in this life until this death ring began, and I saw you on the live show. Allen, do you know? I believe that it was God's guidance, and he made you come to Babylon. So can you tell me if your mother's name is... Lannie?"

Allen's whole body shook again, and the pocket watch in his hand fell to the ground. He looked at Horn, breathing rapidly, and said in a voice: "Are you...my grandfather?"

Horn stretched out his trembling hand and fell on Allen's face: "Yes, child. Your mother Lanny, the full name should be Lanny Bethcod. Oh my god, how is she doing now? Are she doing well?"

"She..." Allen's vision suddenly became blurred, and the black snow and silver rings flashed in front of his eyes again. He could not say anything in the end. Allen lowered his head, not wanting people to see the weakness at this moment.

Even if the one in front of me is my grandfather.

Horn closed his eyes, his chest fluctuated rapidly, and after a long time he sighed, "She has left, right? I think so, otherwise, she wouldn't have let her children participate in the death ring."

"Five years ago, a predator attacked the town where we live. Mother she..." Allen picked up the pocket watch on the ground and looked at the mother of the same age as her in the photo: "On that day, she left me forever."

"Pigga!" Horn's eyes widened and his brilliance shone: "Okay, I will make them regret being born in this world!"

"No!" Allen jumped up and shouted: "I want to avenge this revenge with my own hands and use my own strength!"

Horn looked at the child in front of him carefully, and the old man sighed: "You are indeed Lanni's child, the same stubbornness and the same persistence. You can take revenge on your own, but do you have the strength to do it?"

"It is not easy to find a predator. The ground is so large, and the manpower and material resources you need to use are definitely not what you can have now. If you want to avenge yourself, then I suggest you return to the family and return to me." Horn's voice became louder: "I cannot give you great power or rich wealth immediately, but I can pave the way for you and pave a road to the peak of power. When you become the leader of Bethcod's clan, you can use all the power of the family to do what you want. As long as you remember, if you ask for something from the family, you must make contributions. This is the obligation of every patriarch."

"Of course, this road will not be easy. I can even tell you that once you accept the invitation, you cannot immediately gain power, but you will immediately gain many enemies. I cannot even immediately incorporate you into the sequence of successors. I can only help you, but more depends on yourself."

Speaking of this, Horn took a deep breath: "So tell me, Lanny's child. Even so, are you willing to accept my advice?"

Allen didn't think about it for too long. He looked at the old man and said solemnly: "I do!"

Maybe he didn't know what this sentence meant to him now, until many years later, when looking back at the past, Alan realized that these three simple words completely changed his life!
