Lance refilled the empty glass and poured the alcohol into his stomach at the same time:

"Daughter, don't you think it's strange?"

Enid nodded:

"Your attitude is beyond my expectations. ”

Lance says:

"You've come to me, a daughter who never goes to see her old father, when will she go to see that scruffy old man.

"You have no choice, and despair is almost overcoming you.

"I'm an incompetent father, but I'm still a smart old guy.

"I don't know what happened to you, and I don't know what you're going to do, but I can guess that you weren't having a good time some time ago, just by looking at your face.

"And obviously, you're hesitant about what you're going to do, and my advice is, don't rush it yet, and when you've thought it through, calmed down, and feel like you've made the right decision, do it.

"It's a mistake I made back then, a decision I made in the shadow of fear that made me feel guilty and regret for the rest of my life.

"But when my daughter comes, I at least hope that I can do my father's duty at this moment.

"Even if it's too late. ”

Enid closed her eyes.

She felt a strong sense of sincerity, care, love.

and a weaker vigilance, nervousness, and fear.

Her father was a very intelligent man, so he also sensed that he might be in danger, but the positive emotions prevailed over the negatives.

He saved two people.

Short.

Enid asked again:

"Do you think there's anything you can do to help, and who is behind my birth. ”

Lance looked his daughter in the eye:

"My love for your mother is the most fundamental trigger, even if that love is so illusory and instantaneous, but it really exists.

"Of course, there must have been someone who induced us to love each other directly, but I still want to tell you that no matter what the reason is, love is love, it is beyond all else, and your birth is their plan, and it is also the result of my love with your mother.

"The two are not in conflict with each other, they exist together. ”

Enid says:

"But there are still people behind the scenes. ”

Lance nodded:

"At first I thought it was George's man, he has a deep relationship with your family, and you should be considered distant relatives in the strict sense of the word.

"What I know for sure is that he and one of your ancestors may be brothers and sisters, but I don't know any more, I just said that someone threatened me.

"I initially thought that he was the one he had set up, but I've not been wasting my time all these years, I've been investigating the past.

"I think it's likely that he wasn't the one who threatened me in the first place, and even if he tried to stop me, it wasn't likely that he would do it this way, but that there was another group of very dangerous guys hiding in the shadows, and they were dealing with us. ”

Enid asked:

"You've never spoken to anyone in all these years?"

Lance says:

"I don't think George knows at all, so who am I talking to? Tell your mother? That will only make things more confusing. ”

Enid replied:

"You can tell me. ”

Lance says:

"I've been waiting for you to come, and I didn't get to you until today. ”

Enid knew he wasn't exactly telling the truth.

But he didn't feel guilty.

Lance really didn't tell the whole truth.

The reason he hasn't told anyone is simple, he's scared.

I don't know if it's an illusion, but he always feels that since that incident, there have always been looming eyes around him that have crossed his place.

Someone was spying on him.

He doesn't tell anyone because he doesn't want to anger the spenders who may be his fantasies.

But today is different.

Today my daughter needs him.

Lance drank the spirit in one gulp:

"Phew, I don't know who they are, but I think they do exist, there's a group that has infiltrated our country, I can't imagine what it is? Obviously, it's absolutely possible that they're overlapping with many organizations, the Wizards' Guild, the Astrologers, the Knights, those three strange ancient families?

"I don't know who they are, but they seem to be everywhere, kid, you are facing a very dangerous enemy, and you must be careful at all times. ”

Lance also thinks that Enid is trying to find the truth behind it.

This is also what normal people do.

But she didn't crave the truth, the jaw that couldn't fill her blood.

Lance says:

"I don't know what you're up against, but if you're willing to share it with me, maybe I can help. ”

Enid shook her head:

"Father, go home, you ......

"It's true that you're not doing your best at something, but you're not a derelict father. ”

Lance's eyes lit up:

"Whatever you're going to do, think about it. ”

Enid says:

"Someone is watching you, they're ready to do something to you, I smell it, goodbye, father, hide, wait until all the dust falls. ”

With that, she walked out of the cubicle despite Lance's dissuasion.

The noise vanished in an instant, and deathly silence took over the world.

Then there was the incessant screaming and running.

"Ahhhh

Bones and flesh separated, and the sound of soft objects falling to the ground rang out at the same time.

The smell of blood replaced the alcohol and filled the entire bar.

Lance slumped on the couch, staring out with a blank look.

Then enjoy the tranquility that will disappear from his life for a long time.
