Both Pingan and Laura were shocked to hear Felton, the local sheriff, say that the old man's identity was the former president of the country, and that he was the sinner of the country. Unexpectedly, the old man was not joking at all, and as for Felton's sinner, they did not know very well, and they did not know where to start.

"Felton, since you know who I am, you should know what I've been against," said the old man known as José to Felton.

"It is because of your opposition that the people of our country sit on a mountain of gold but do not have enough to eat, and hold a golden rice bowl but wait for the relief of the world government. Could it be that the country is in the state it is in today is not due to you, an old president whose policies failed and his policies were confused?" Felton suddenly looked excited when he talked about José's past political experience and his approach.

"Felton, we grew up together as children, don't you understand my thoughts to this day?" Jose and Felton turned out to be old acquaintances, and he continued: "Isn't everything I have done for our country? As a result, all the people are crazy to dig and mine, regardless of the cutting down of vegetation, regardless of the erosion of water and soil, and even leave their hometowns, abandon their fields, and lose their family affection, but what is the exchange for it? Wealth, is the thing that makes everyone salivate and more than **. In the face of wealth, people have smeared their humanity, lost their hearts, and discarded their human flavor, so there is competition, struggle, and war. Those who have acquired wealth have emigrated to more luxurious countries because their homeland has become devastated in vain, and those who have not acquired wealth have sharpened their heads in pursuit of the riches they have struck in order to one day leave the country in tatters and decay with great wealth. All this is greedy, greedy wealth, that is, those diamonds bring, and if we continue to dig up, not only will the natural situation of our country become a mess, but the most terrible thing is that our people will lose their love and perseverance for the country, and at that time, it will be a vassal, and the country will not be a country. As the president of this country, as a person who loves the motherland, how can I let it go and ignore it? Therefore, the first thing I did when I took office was to ban mining for the whole people, severely punish mining behavior, protect vegetation, protect water and soil, save people's hearts, and save the country. Is there something wrong with that?"

In the face of Jose's questioning, Felton laughed it off: "Yes, your original intention may be well-intentioned, patriotic, and understandable." However, what you did cut off the financial resources of those big people, and even attracted the jealousy of those with bad intentions, and the people who survived in the cracks of internal and external troubles did not think that what you did was right. The final result is that in the midst of the anger and resentment of the heavens and the people, and the aggression and wars of other countries against our country, how many people have even turned against you and the governments of the country? Although in the end, under the suppression and mediation of the world coalition government, the war was artificially stopped and eliminated, but it was indeed us, the common people, who were injured, not you, the high-ranking president. If you say that, aren't you a sinner in the sense of all the people?"

What Felton said was true, which made Jose, who was already self-reproachful, choked for a while, and was speechless, so he could only bow his head and fall into grief.

"I don't know what happened in this country, and I don't know if this old gentleman is your former president, and no matter how serious the mistakes he has made, I just want to say that a good country, a competent government, the first thing that should be done is to protect their people, to bring peace, warmth, security, A prosperous life should be willing to sacrifice the interests of the country and the government for the sake of the interests of the people, not for the interests of the country and the government, to break up the families that these poor children have worked so hard to build, leaving them helpless and homeless. Zhu Ping'an saw Jose bow his head and was silent, and hurriedly stepped forward to express his opinion.

"Who are you, and where are you from?" Felton asked, looking at the young man in front of him, his face disgruntled and disdainful.

"I'm not a character, just a wanderer like these children, who can't see his relatives and can't return home, a traveler who doesn't know what tomorrow will bring. Zhu Ping'an glanced back at the poor children who were staring at him, and replied.

"In other words, you are not from this country anymore, no wonder you dare to act so wantonly, not afraid of the country and the government, and say such a great and unjustified fallacy!" said Felton to Zhu Ping'an.

"You are wrong, why should you be afraid of the government? The people should not be afraid of their government, and the government should be afraid of their people!" Zhu Ping'an's words were so classic that he couldn't help but attract Suzaku's eyes to light up at him.

"What nonsense are you talking about? If you say this, you should be killed!" Felton's eyes showed a fierce look, and he waved his hand, and his men raised their guns and aimed at Zhu Ping'an.

"Well said, I won't let you die if I say this to you!" Suzaku Xuanguang said as he spread his arms, a flame came out of his arms, and he made a gesture of preparing for battle, and at the same time turned back to the children and said, "Other adults, take the children to hide in the church!" The adults heard Suzaku's order, and hurriedly led the children back to the church, and hidden, they looked at the situation outside through the cracks in the windows and doors.

"You guy, don't think that if you have some ability, I can't do anything with you, my helper will be here soon, and then see how you die!" After Felton finished speaking, he turned around and said to Jose, who bowed his head and grieved: "Jose, for the sake of our friends, I advise you to leave as soon as possible, don't wade into this troubled water, as soon as the master I invited arrives, this place will be razed to the ground, and there will be no chickens and dogs left." ”

"I'm not leaving. Hearing Felton's words, José finally raised his head, stared at his back and said: "This church was built by my daughter, I built it with my only savings, every brick, every tile, is glued to the blood, sweat and hope of our father and daughter, I will never leave, let alone let anyone destroy him for the sake of diamonds, if you want the diamonds below, step over my corpse, let my blood seep into the ground and drip on the diamonds." ”

Hearing José's words, Suzaku on the side was taken aback: "What, could it be that you are Sister Maria's father?"

"Yes, I am Maria's father, and she was the one who asked me to come here to find her and be with her. José replied.

"Forget it, good words are hard to persuade damn ghosts, since you are obsessed, you can't blame others, you can do it yourself. Felton glanced back at him, flicked his sleeves, and drove away with his men.

"The crisis is over. Zhu Ping'an looked at the dust and smoke raised by Felton and their departure, which was a sigh of relief, he really didn't want to cause trouble here.

"They don't give up easily, maybe at night, they will come and sneak attack. Suzaku said as he looked into the distance.

"Suzaku-sama!" Laura came back to her senses and excitedly called Suzaku's name. Suzaku smiled at her.

"Where is my daughter, where is my daughter Maria?" José interrupted Laura, grabbed Suzaku's arm tightly, and kept asking, "Please take me to see my daughter!"

"This?" Suzaku hesitated.

"What's wrong, what's wrong with my daughter?" Jose had a bad premonition in his heart when he saw Suzaku hesitating and stopping.

"If you want to see Sister Maria, come with me. Suzaku saw that Jose was heartbroken, and knew that there were some things that had to be explained clearly after all, although he couldn't bear it, but he was helpless.

Led by Suzaku Genguang, José, Ping'an and Laura walked through the church and came to the back of the church, where there was a row of cemeteries, and in the center of the cemetery stood the tallest and largest tombstone, José walked closer, his eyes were wide open, his pupils widened, his mouth was open, his whole body trembled, he knelt down in front of the tombstone, he was speechless with excitement, tears fell down his wrinkled cheeks, tears flowed, and they hit the ground "ticking".

"Why, why is this so, we were talking on the phone a month ago, when you told me to take care of my body, but now you are separated from me, how can you make me a lonely old man!" José cried as he stroked the tombstone over and over again with his wrinkled hand. The people around stood silently and did not speak, and the children who rushed to hear the sound also gathered behind the old man, followed by sentimental tears, Zhu Ping'an looked at this scene, thinking of his family and friends, he couldn't help but feel a little sad, Laura seemed to see Ping'an's reaction, and hurriedly walked behind him, took his hand, and comforted him, Ping'an saw this and quickly nodded to her, and the smiling person signaled that he was okay. And this scene was seen by Suzaku, who was good at observing words and feelings, and he couldn't help but have a trace of suspicion, thinking about who the young man was.

"How did my daughter die?" In fact, Jose's heart could already detect the cause of his daughter's death from the confrontation with Felton just now, but he still hoped to learn the truth from Suzaku's mouth that he was unwilling to admit and accept, but had to admit and accept.

So, Suzaku told him in front of Jose about what Mother Maria was killed and died for, and Ping An and Laura also learned the history of the whole thing.

That's when José told everyone about himself and Sister Maria. It turns out that José, although he was once the president of the country, is very happy to do charity. He dedicates 90% of his salary to charity, and his daughter Maria, who is also a believer, has inherited this kindness. As a nun, Maria was determined to preach in the war-torn world, exhorting people to do good, and helping others, and traveled to many parts of the world before returning to her hometown. She couldn't bear the catastrophe in her hometown and wanted to help and take in those orphans left behind by the war, so she decided to build a church as a shelter for these people. But she had no money of her own, so she told her father, who was still president at the time, about the plan. As his father, President José was very supportive of his daughter, and although he was also very poor, he saved money to send to his daughter to build a church. When the church was built, the daughter sent a message to her father about a photo of herself and the church, which was the last image José received of her daughter. Due to the war, coupled with factional struggles and the opposition and demonstrations of some of the misguided masses, José was forced by the situation to finally step down from the presidency, and he originally wanted to return here to live a carefree village life with his daughter, but who knew that when he came here, he saw the tombstone of his cold daughter.

After saying this, José stood up and wiped the tears from his face with his sleeve, and the three-legged dog in his arms also helped him lick the tears from his face. He turned his head, looked at the children beside him, and then raised his head to look at the tall church in front of him: "I have decided to stay, not only to protect my daughter's only inheritance, but also to protect the most precious treasure that Maria wants to protect, the future and hope of this country!"

"Count me in. Hearing the old man's bold words, Zhu Ping'an also said that he would help the old man and fight to the end.

Suzaku, who had been rubbing at Pang Banguan to wish peace, heard this, and unconsciously a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth......

Meanwhile, Felton, the local sheriff back in a town not far from Phoenix, is talking to a figure dressed as an officer using a hologram.

"That's the thing, Galileo Prison Commander wants you to get the diamond vein as soon as possible, which is especially important for us to control the entire war situation and the market, and of course your benefits are also indispensable, and I will definitely not treat you badly!" the officer said through the hologram.

"Yes, yes, Major Hardiran, please tell the honorable Grand Warden that I will live up to my promise and get the diamond vein as soon as possible. Felton nodded like a pug and said with a flattering gesture.

"Well, we're all waiting for good news from you. Major Hadiran finished laughing, the hologram vanished, and the call was interrupted.

At this point, Felton turned to his men and asked, "Where are Shabazz and they?"

"Already on my way here. The subordinate replied......

In the wilderness, a group of mercenaries had fallen in a pool of blood.
