Chapter 19: The Endless Abyss and Killing
A big man suddenly broke in, this middle-aged man with silver hair and inch hair, square face and facial features looked solemn, but now his crying face was tearful and twisted, and his elegant suit was a little disheveled, he went straight to Alice, wanting to rush up and hug Alice.
As a result, Alice grabbed her face and pressed her to the ground.
"My baby Alice, Daddy wants to kill you!" cried out the middle-aged uncle who was pressed to the ground.
"Hey, hey, old man, can you be more reserved!, there's a guest!" Alice roared with a flushed face, because Zorro was still here, and said in her heart why her old man was so embarrassed.
"This.... Is that your master?" Zorro couldn't help but look at Alex when he saw this scene, but the scene was indeed very warm, and it also showed how much this "father" loved his daughter.
"......" Alex still kept an embarrassed smile, in fact, he already had a black line.
Dongxue on the side smiled awkwardly.
"Hehe, that's how dad is. β
After hearing what Alice said, the middle-aged uncle immediately stopped crying and mourning, sighed, and looked up at Zorro, who also looked at him and smiled awkwardly and said hello.
The middle-aged uncle immediately stood up, straightened his clothes, and coughed dryly with a red and serious face.
"Ahem... Hello, you're Mr. Zorro, I'm Adson Ale, the father of Alice and Dongxue, and I would like to thank you for taking care of Alice. β
Adelson regained his expression, as if nothing had happened just now, after introducing himself and some polite words in a few words, he respectfully thanked Zorro, a "thank you" did not explain the reason, but Zorro understood what it meant, presumably Adelson didn't want Dongxue to worry about Alice.
"You're welcome. Zorro said politely.
Then the three of them returned to their seats, and Adelson sat in his special seat, Alex also served him a cup of black tea at this time, and the four of them chatted like this for a while, and Adelson also learned some things about Zorro, such as where Zorro came from, how he met Alice, what to do in the imperial capital, and other simple information.
"Mr. Zorro, I thank you, you can make any requests you want, as long as it is within my ability, I will definitely satisfy you. Adelson said to Zorro that this matter was a big deal for him, and Zorro saved his favorite daughter, so he naturally had to repay the family.
Dongxue on the side had a questioning face, she had basically not spoken since the beginning, she had been listening to Zorro, Alex, Alice and her father chatting, and the content of the chat was very vague, she couldn't understand it at all, so she had been sitting there quietly, and now she heard that Adelson suddenly wanted to thank Zorro, and there was a question in her heart for a while.
"Uh... You're really welcome, I'm just passing by, and I don't ask for anything in return for a favor. Zorro waved his hand and politely refused.
"Hey, do you know how many people want a request from my father! Hmph, it's cheap and good!" Alice was very upset, and said in her heart what did she mean to do a favor? Miss Ben just did a good job, so she scolded in disbelief, and at the same time raised Edson's status too highly.
Zorro Xin said that I recruited you to provoke you, why is this little girl targeting me everywhere, if I say I want you, will you give it? Of course, he didn't dare to say that.
"Mr. Zorro, you don't have to be polite at this time. Alex on the side suddenly persuaded, and at the same time, Adelson also stared at Zorro with interest.
Zuo hesitated, and said in his heart that it seems that the cheap sent is not good if you want to, and then he said.
"Uh... I don't know what I need right now. β
"Hehe, it's okay, tell me when you think about it, this requirement is valid for life and can be fulfilled at any time. Adelson didn't show anything when he heard Zorro agree, but just smiled faintly and said.
"Well, well, then..." Zorro felt that he had stayed long enough, and thought that he still had plans to replan his future plans, but he didn't have time to spend it here, so he was about to leave with words, but he was interrupted before he could finish speaking.
"Alex, go and prepare dinner, make arrangements, and I'll entertain Mr. Zorro. Adelson looked out the window and saw that it was getting late, so he commanded Alex.
"Yes, master. β
"........" the speechless Zorro.
"Mr. Zorro, you're welcome, treat this place as your home, it's still a little far away from the rice bowl time, let Alice and Dongxue take you around. Adelson said naturally, in fact, this is an eviction order, this sentence is really level, and it is difficult for ordinary people to hear it.
But Zorro is a smart person, and as soon as the words came out, he knew that this was an eviction order, not to mention Alice and Dongxue, who had been by Adson's side since childhood, and naturally knew their father best, so the three politely said goodbye, and Alice led the two out of the tea room.
The three of them left, and the door was closed, leaving only Adelson and Alex, who looked at each other for a few seconds.
"Masterβ" Alex had just opened his mouth to break the silence, when Adelson said first.
"There's no one else here, so there's no need to call me master, Juggernaut Alex. Adelson said with a smile.
"Hehe, old friend Adelson, don't laugh at me. Alex also snorted, and the two of them were like old friends who hadn't seen each other for a long time, and the atmosphere instantly relaxed.
"What do you think of this person, I think it's okay. Adelson was talking about Zorro, of course.
"Hmm.... Character is indeed no problem... It's just...."Alex's eyes were sharp, his brows furrowed, and he suddenly hesitated halfway through his reply.
"Oh, what's wrong?" Edson asked, noticing Alex's expression, confused.
"It's just... The look in his eyesβ" Alex said, still with some tabooness.
"What's wrong with his eyes?"
"That's the eyes that have experienced the endless abyss and the killing..."
"Oh, there's such a thing. Edward was a little shocked when he heard this, and he looked at Alex with a hint of curiosity in his tone.
"Well, I don't know if it's an angel or a demon. Alex said solemnly.
"Hehe, pay a little attention to what you say. Adelson then replied, and then changed his expression, extremely serious. "Let's get down to business. β
"Has there been progress?" Alex said excitedly, as he seemed to be unable to suppress his heart.
"Well, it's not good news, though. β
"....." Alex's eyes couldn't help but show a hint of sadness.
"Found it... But there wasn't much information coming back, and if I'm not mistaken, I'm probably killed again..."Edson was the same, his eyes revealing a trace of sadness and a trace of unwillingness.
"Where is it?"
"In its hometown, the North Underworld, but don't be impulsive, you're still hurt. β
"Well, of course I know, after all, I've been waiting ten years for this day!" Alex said angrily, gritting his teeth.
"We're old, and it's time to hand it over to the next generation. Adelson sighed, like a deflated balloon.
"No, this revenge must be avenged by me personally!" Alex finished speaking, and the sword intent instantly filled the entire tea room.
"Hehe, I believe in you. β
