"You're not worried that I'm gone, they'll be suspicious?"

"They must be skeptical."

"Oh?"

"But what can they do but be suspicious?"

"What do you mean?"

Early the next morning, Baker dropped Barbara to the door of S.H.I.E.L.D. in Chicago, smiled at Barbara's question and said, "Look up." ”

Barbara looked up.

In the clouds, a huge ...... glimpsed Carve!

"Kodo?"

"Hmm."

Baker nodded, took a headset from his bosom and handed it to Barbara, "With it, Kordo will be your eyes, giving you the ability to look down on the whole city." ”

Barbara took it, and then said thoughtfully, "You only knew that I let Wesley go back then?" ”

Baker frowned: "Who?" ”

Barbara was slightly stunned.

Baker spread his hands: "I'm sorry, but I'm not used to keeping memories for some unimportant people or people who have disappeared. ”

Barbara: "......"

Soon.

The Kunzi helicopter took off smoothly from the roof of the Chicago Aegis and quickly swept in the direction of New York.

Whether Barbara's departure will attract the attention of those who are in the shadows is certain, but they are only suspicious at best.

An organization that existed when he was a child, after so many years, still cowered in the Holy City, and was so hidden against him, that could only mean one thing.

There is no future for this organization.

It is an organization that is obsessed with the glory of the past, and it is self-contained, and even Hydra is inferior.

The Hydra also knows how to adapt to the times and achieve global development as much as possible.

And......

Baker would give them a plausible explanation for Barbara's departure.

Not much.

Baker is back in the Holy City.

In just one week, two residents of the Holy City died, one was Baker's younger brother, Adam Anderson, and the other was Jack Michael, who would have become his brother-in-law without accident at that time.

…… That's right.

There is another one, who can be regarded as an old resident of the Holy City.

Joseph Remiller, it is said that this morning his wife woke up and found that the husband who was next to him was no longer breathing.

Currently in Chicago Hospital.

It's still the same church.

The priest is still the same priest.

"Good morning, everyone."

Fr. Karl Raguil, looking at the crowd seated in front of him from the stage, and Baker, who was in the door with his arms crossed, said: "During this time, the people of the Holy City are very sad, we have lost two young inhabitants, this week has been difficult for everyone, and it has made me think a lot, about tolerance, about forgiveness! ”

"You know, it is written in the scriptures, forgive ...... For the sake of love, for all love, we must have the ability to forgive, you see, to forgive, it sounds ......"

"It's easy in theory, right?"

"But in reality it has many obstacles, great difficulties to overcome, and in this church, we in the Holy City have been practicing understanding, haven't we?"

"So ......"

"With that in mind, let me try today to forgive those who have hurt us in the past and then look forward."

“……”

Fr. Karl Raguil's speech has a very unique charm.

Time seems to be slowing down here.

In the afternoon.

The funeral is over.

This time, one by one, the inhabitants of the Holy City walked towards Baker, who was standing behind the tree like Adam, and offered their forgiveness and understanding.

Baker hugged them one by one, shouting the title of his youth.

Soon.

Baker saw Josie.

When Jack was buried, Josie cried again, and her eyes were swollen from crying.

Josie approached.

Baker greeted, "Hi." ”

Josie whispered and sniffled, "What about your friend?" ”

Baker shook his head: "You say Platinums?" Let's go! ”

Josie sighed, didn't speak, and turned to walk not far away.

Baker stopped Josie, "Wait. ”

Josie turned.

Baker looked at Josie, "I'd like to meet Serra." ”

Josie smiled, "I don't think it's necessary. ”

Baker walked up to Josie, who was about to turn away: "If Serra is really my daughter, then, I want to know her, I promise you, I won't get into trouble, I can do as you say, but...... She's my daughter too, Josie, and I know I shouldn't say goodbye, but honestly, you never told me I had my daughter. ”

A contemptuous smile appeared on Josie's face: "So, I asked you to leave on the day we got engaged, you can leave, but I can't, do you know what the guests we invited over thought of me that day?" ”

Baker sighed.

Submit.

Baker took out a check from his bosom that had already been written: "I'm sorry, give, if you change your mind that day, I'll wait for your call." ”

After speaking.

It would be Baker's turn to turn and go, without any mud.

Baker still remembers a sentence, in the Colosseum, such a rule is always observed, hesitation will be defeated, and decisiveness will be given in vain.

One word.

Baker didn't believe that his electronic memory database could go wrong, so there was only one possibility.

The whole holy city is like Truman's world to their Raphael family, where everything is for Baker and his family.

Why is the cemetery of the Seven Great Families, only his parents are buried there.

Baker thought of an answer.

It has to do with self-gemstones.

Baker came up with a possibility, maybe the founders of the seven families were of the same mind, but as time went on, in his father's generation, his father found his own gem, which attracted the prying eyes of the other six families.

Afterward......

Perhaps it was because his parents were unwilling to hand over the self gem, so they tried to kill his parents, and then tried to find the self gem by helping Baker deal with the aftermath.

But they didn't expect Baker to be the first to take the lead.

So they secretly observed Baker, perhaps through some means of learning about Baker's elusive abilities.

This may be the power of the ego gem.

Afterward......

Baker left, they did not panic in the slightest, because they had Erin and Nova on their hands, and as long as Irene and Nova were still in the Holy City, then the birds that flew far away would return to their nests.

But then, because of Adam, they didn't expect Baker to return, so they had to find a way to make amends and choose to start attacking.

It's just that?

There was one thing Baker never understood.

If Josie is involved, what role does Josie play in it?

Could it be that he has been acting since he was a childhood sweetheart?

Baker didn't believe it.

He can recall the happy and joyful moments of his childhood with Josie, eating, playing, and bouncing together.

When did that change?

Baker reorganized his database last night and found a point in time.

At the age of sixteen, after the death of his parents, Baker and Josie's first night.

Same as that weekend.

Baker could remember that first night, but he felt like he remembered the lost weekend.

Even.
