Chapter 214: Once in a Hundred Years

"Sergio and his men rushed up to the tower and captured the members of the Unbenevolent Society, who had not had time to retreat. Although Sergio was so angry that he was almost mad at www.biquge.info time, he still retained a shred of his sanity and did not immediately kill all the people of the 'Unkind Society'. After some torture, someone explained the exact location of Onella. By the time Sergio arrived, Onella and Giovanna had gone into shock from inhaling too much smoke. Onella was rescued and saved a life, but poor Giovanna was gone forever.

"Both Edmund and Greco's family were devastated. Edmund lost his daughter, and Sergio lost his son and niece. The most unacceptable of this was Edmund's wife, who fainted several times that day and could only be calmed down by injecting drugs.

"Edmund was furious and sent people to Tokyo, wanting to fight to the death against the 'Unbenevolent Society'. But how could a businessman be an opponent of the underworld with a military industrial background? In the end, the DOH who went to Tokyo was completely wiped out. Edmund is not giving up, and plans to send people to the Neon Country again.

At this point, Sergio stepped forward. He was adamantly opposed to Edmund's decision-making, arguing that there was no need to make such a senseless sacrifice. Edmund was even more annoyed by the fact that he had already distanced himself from Sergio because of the 'Badia Incident'. Later, the two sides stalemate, and Sergio left Edmund with the rest of the Greco family.

Edmund was also very stubborn, and he immediately deleted all family documents about the Greco family and stopped providing financial support to the Greco family. You must know that DOH has been supported by the Hannover family since its establishment, and does not have any financial resources, and this incident has further intensified the conflict between the two families.

Fortunately, at the beginning of the establishment of the DOH, Morrison prepared two apartments for the Greco family in Florence and Venice, so that the Greco family would not live on the streets. The Greco family has since split into two parts, living in Florence and Venice. The sad Sergio swore a heavy oath and parted ways with the Hannover family from then on.

In fact, Sergio was a little angry, and he always felt that it was impossible for the Hanoverians to live without their protection. Perhaps, one day in the future, Edmund will personally visit him and ask him to continue to protect the Hannover family. However, what he didn't expect was that in 1925, Edmund was poisoned and died of hatred, and Andrew did not notify the Greco family to attend the funeral.

Andrew's memory of DOH is very faint, after all, he was only 3 years old when the accident happened. He knew that there was once a family willing to go to war for Hanover, but that was in the past. ”

At this point, E1 paused, as if waiting for Wan Guohou to give his opinion. But the latter remained silent, his gaze bottomless.

"I guess Andrew probably never said anything about DOH to Mouss, that's why you didn't know the Greco family existed. E1 whispered, "Sergio's wife died of illness in 1899, and a year later he remarried. In 1903, the new lady bore him a son, my great-grandfather, who was also called Sergio.

"My great-grandfather wanted to rediscover the people of the Hannover family, to put an end to his old suspicions. But when he visited Burma, England, and the mansions that once belonged to Hanover, he was helpless to find that they were inhabited by unrelated strangers. The Hannover family seemed to have 'evaporated from the world', leaving no trace.

"My great-grandfather was a man of great conviction and gave an order that the people of the Greco family must try to hide in the Haberg bank in Zurich for generations in order to protect them covertly. After all, Haberger Bank was founded by the Hannover family, and since the Hannover family could not be found, it was a matter of trying to protect their legacy. In addition, the people at the Haberg Bank did not know much about the DOH, they only started serving the Hannover family at the end of 1900, and in 1901 we broke with the Hannover family. The great-grandfather even thought that it was very likely that the Habergers did not even know about the existence of DOH.

"Later, my grandfather, my father, and my uncle all served Haberger Bank in different ways. Over the past 100 years, we have never given up on finding Hannover's descendants. A few years ago, we even ventured to set up a branch office in Tokyo in order to monitor the 'Uninhibites' and get information about the Hanoverian family that they had received. E1 said, glancing at Wan Guohou again, but the latter still listened in silence.

"But we're in the wrong direction. Little did we know that Edmund's descendants had actually moved to China. Therefore, we are completely unaware of what happened to Mous and Mo Linshu, let alone the imprisonment of Mous's grandson. Until 2011......"

"It wasn't until 2011 that you saw a young man with golden eyes at the Haberg Bank. Wan Guohou interrupted him, "Since then, your family has decided to follow this trail. Later, instead of finding the young man with golden eyes, you noticed my acquisition of the hospital. ”

"That's it. E1 said, "I've said everything I can say, there's nothing to hide." With that, he hung his head, as if waiting for the verdict of fate.

At this time, the sky is getting colder. Heavy satin curtains block out some of the light that is not very bright, making the room even darker.

Wan Guohou put down his hat, then touched his chin, "The story you told is tragic, I have to say, I almost believe it." However, you should know that there is a saying called 'words without evidence'. ”

E1 smiled wryly and walked over to his suitcase.

"Stop!" Z2 shouted, "Did Master Hou allow you to move?"

"I'm going to show Master Hou something that can prove my identity. E1 explained, "It's in my box." ”

"Master Hou, beware of deception!" Z2 said anxiously.

"Let him take it. Wan Guohou said lightly, "The contents of the box have been checked by the security guard before sending them in, and there are no dangerous goods." ”

After E1 received permission, he immediately opened the suitcase and took out something that looked like a jewelry box.

"Master Hou, this is the proof of my identity. E1 said, and walked in front of Wan Guohou respectfully. He opened the box, but it was empty.

Wan Guohou looked at the empty box inexplicably, it was not much larger than an ordinary jewelry box, and it was padded with black velvet. In the center of the box, there is a groove with a strange shape.

"It's good that you wore this ring today. E1 said in a tone that bordered on praise, "Otherwise, I don't know how to prove it." Could you please lend me the ring?"

Wan Guohou suspiciously took off the jade ring and handed it to E1. Z2 couldn't hold back his curiosity and went up.

E1 took the ring, aligned the two tiger heads into the grooves, and pressed them down carefully. Then, like clockwork, he slowly turned the ring.

When the ring turns in a circle, the box makes a "tada" sound. The velvet on the lid of the jewelry box slowly rolled down, revealing a metal negative.

E1 turns the box in a different direction so that it is facing Wanguohou.

"Master Hou, let me explain first, I have never triggered the mechanism of this box, because I don't have a ring. Now, please take a look at the sentence engraved on the lid. ”

Wan Guohou stared at the box, his face unconcealed shock.

Engraved on the lid was a phrase he knew all too well, "Where-there-is-life, there-is-hope." ”

On a shipwreck at the bottom of the Andaman Sea, Cotton ordered the same sentence to be drawn.

"Stay in the green hills. Wan Guohou muttered to himself, "I'm not afraid of running out of firewood." ”

"The box was designed by Cotton, who took the ring with him and left the box for Sergio. E1 whispered, "Before I met you, I thought the ring would be in the Haberg Bank, but I didn't expect it to be in your possession. ”

"It's probably fate. Wan Guohou said in a low voice, "In the past few days, your performance has made me very uneasy. I don't know why I suddenly wanted to wear this ring today, but I haven't worn it in a long time. ”

Perhaps, in the dark, it is providential. Heaven wants you to give me a chance to tell the story of the Greco family and prove my identity. E1 read a sadness in Wan Guohou's eyes, and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when he knew that the other party had finally let down his guard.

Wan Guohou looked at the jewelry box, and he found that under that sentence, there were two small badges engraved. The one on the left is from the Hanover family, and the one on the right is exactly the same as the one painted on the hat by E1, presumably from the Greco family.

Suddenly, he reached out and pushed the metal piece upward, and a narrow dark grid appeared in front of him. He chuckled inwardly, "Cotton, you always like to leave me puzzles. Fortunately, I have been 'trained' by you. ”

E1 looked at it and was dumbfounded, apparently, he didn't know about this part.

Wan Guohou gently took out a small roll of things from the dark compartment, and then slowly unfolded it. The scroll, apparently made of parchment, was densely packed with a few lines of text. Wan Guohou opened the drawer, found a magnifying glass, and read it with difficulty.

After reading the secret letter, he put the lambskin roll back into the compartment, then took the ring from the box and put it back on his hand. After a long while, he slowly spoke: "Your family is now distributed in the four cities you mentioned?"

"Yes. ”

"Where is the branch in Zurich?"

Wan Guohou's question surprised E1 slightly, "If you want to go, I can show you the way right now." ”

Z2 couldn't understand the mystery of the jewelry box, but he saw that Wan Guohou's expression was no longer so serious, and he understood that E1's identity should be fine. So, he slowed down his tone a little, "Master Hou, why don't we have dinner first and then go?" You have hardly eaten anything in the past few days. ”

"No, I don't. Wan Guohou shook his head. He thought for a moment, "Well, let's go back to the hotel first, and I'm going to change my clothes." You too, Mr. Takagi. ”

E1 glanced at Z2, then at the "Dasen" suit on Wan Guohou's body, and couldn't help but sneer, "Master Hou, I've really wronged you, you've been hunched over, right?"

"You're embarrassed to say it!" Z2 put away his gun and knocked E1 the head, "Do you know how nervous we are?

"How did you explain this to the employees and customers?" E1 said curiously, "and they should have freaked out." ”

"It's simple, drills. Employees are aware in advance, customers are not. Don't worry, we will compensate customers. Wan Guohou said, put on the green contact lenses again, then put the contact lens case and jewelry box into his pocket, got up and left the executive desk, "Let's go, say the rest of the way." ”

An hour later, Wan Guohou and Z2, led by E1, walked through the hair salon on Dahl Street and arrived at the door of the chapel.

"Is this the place?" Wan Guohou was a little surprised, "It's so quiet here. ”

"Please follow me. E1 said.

The three of them walked into the church's confessional room in turn, then through a secret door, and through a hallway, into a large hall.

"Sergio......" Fabrizio was the first to see E1, and as soon as he said hello happily, he was stunned because he saw Wan Guohou and Z2 behind E1.

"Master Hou knows who we are. After E1 finished speaking, he said to Wan Guohou, "Master Hou, this is my cousin, Fabrizio. This is my cousin, Thiago. This is my other cousin, Federico. Here, this passionate beauty is my cousin Beatrizi......"

After E1 briefly introduced everyone in the hall, Wan Guohou removed his contact lenses. The golden eyes shone with a wonderful brilliance, like a god looking forward to it, attracting the people in the hall.

Wan Guohou looked around and said with some emotion: "Please forgive me, I never thought that in this world, I still have a family. ”

These sincere words, like a huge rock, were thrown into the calm and waveless lake, and the hall was blown silent in an instant.

"E1, also known as Sergio, told me about your past and stories I didn't know. For a long time, you were looking for me in a daze, and I was ignorant. I regret that we have all lost loved ones. Thankfully, although our connection was temporarily interrupted due to a misunderstanding, the bond that bound us together did not loosen. ”

As soon as Wan Guohou's voice fell, Thiago said anxiously, "This ......"

"Master Hou. E1 interjected, "That's how we usually call him. ”

"Master Hou. Thiago hesitated, "We've envisioned a thousand scenarios to meet you, but we never imagined that it would be like this. ”

Wan Guohou smiled and said, "Why? Is it because I didn't come with thousands of troops to join you?"

The remark sparked a burst of laughter.

"I didn't mean that. Thiago said with some embarrassment, "I think you're too far away from us." Our family hasn't seen ...... in over 100 years The people of Hanover. ”

"So, here I am. Wan Guohou said calmly.
