Mrs. Tang held the teacup and gently stroked the warm cup with her fingertips, recalling the scene when Karun was cooking in the kitchen earlier, a smile appeared on her face involuntarily.

"Even if you want to be someone's grandfather, you still have to see if they are willing to recognize you. How could they care about you, an outsider, when they have such a grandfather?

Old man, you don't even know what you missed.

So,

Relatives, blood ties, when they become distant, they become strangers.

Your grandson is standing right in front of you,

But you still feel nothing."

Mrs. Tang put down the cup, stood up, and muttered to herself, "Fortunately, Richard can really feel him. They are indeed cousins, close relatives."

In the next moment,

A scene from that day appeared in Mrs. Tang's mind;

She was sitting on a wicker chair in the suburban villa, drinking tea, and saw a familiar yet unfamiliar figure appear in her garden...

"I heard that becoming an elder of the temple can grant you a longer life. It seems to be true. Dis, are the views in the Order Temple good?"

"You misunderstood."

"Misunderstood? Then what is this?"

"My grandson will come to Vienna in a while."

"Your grandson, which grandson... Could it be... I see. I will take good care of him. He is my grandson."

"No, you misunderstood again."

"Misunderstood again?"

"I'm worried that your Alt bloodline will sense him. I hope that if you sense him, pretend not to know him. He doesn't need your care or arrangements. He has his own path to walk."

"You can't even tell my old man? He doesn't even know that he has a grandson alive, he has never known."

"Delong, hmm, he doesn't deserve to know."

Upon hearing these words, Mrs. Tang felt somewhat absurd. She subconsciously wanted to refute and defend her old man, but when the words reached her lips, she could only smile helplessly because she knew he was right.

"Your grandson, no, my grandson, has he awakened the Alt family bloodline?"

"Not so soon, he has a lot on him."

"Can the Guman family help a little?" Mrs. Tang still didn't give up. She urgently wanted to take her grandson back.

"The Guman family is loyal to the God of Order."

"Of course, and so are you?"

"I just blew up the Order Temple."

"..." Mrs. Tang.

"He will choose his own path and face the dangers on the road by himself. He doesn't need you, let alone Delong's arrangements. If he needs the Guman family's arrangements, I can provide him with better conditions."

"I understand. I won't let Delong know. You're right, he is devout to the God of Order deep in his heart. Thank you for telling me in person. Would you like a cup of tea?"

"No, I have to leave. There are still some places I need to go."

"Where are you coming from?"

"Raphael Manor."

"What is that place? What are you going to do there?"

"To kill someone."

"Is it a powerful existence?"

"Perhaps."

Mrs. Tang bowed to Dis, "Thank you for protecting her."

"I didn't really take care of her. Besides, she is my family. You don't need to thank me. Lastly, I despise the Alt family bloodline. It has brought endless nightmares to my grandson."

"My grandson, just like my son, cursed by the bloodline?"

"In the past."

"And now?"

"I hope you don't actively sense or search for him, but if you encounter him, you can go see for yourself. He is a good child."

"I believe he must be a good child."

...

"Well, he is indeed a good child."

Mrs. Tang went upstairs. She originally wanted to see her grandson, but she saw Mr. Eisen walking into her grandson's bedroom.

Mr. Eisen looked at Richard lying on the bed and said, "Memphis, do you know him?"

"I know him. He is my teammate, and we have a good relationship. What's wrong, Dad?"

"He just called and asked when you will return his credits."

"Uh..." Richard's gaze fell on his father, but seeing his father's serious look, he immediately moved away.

His original little treasury was borrowed by his father for half of it, and that's why he had to borrow money from Memphis on Darkmoon Island.

This Memphis, just finished a mission and already came to collect the debt!

Richard didn't dare to ask his father for his money back. He was now afraid of doing anything that might provoke his father.

"I understand, Dad. Don't worry, I will handle it. My mission reward should be coming soon. Once it arrives, I will pay him back. You don't have to worry."

"Okay."

After receiving the reply, Mr. Eisen turned and walked out of the bedroom. Mrs. Tang saw her son coming out, and there seemed to be a smile on the corner of his mouth.

...

It was already afternoon when Karun returned to the Funeral Society from the Guman family. He hesitated for a moment in the car, whether he should drive back to the Allen Manor overnight?

He was really worried that there would be new missions at any time. Although the captain knew that he was about to participate in the selection, the captain also knew that it was only the selection in the York City District, so he would definitely be fine.

So, he should make good use of his time.

Karun got out of the car, walked into the backyard, and saw Hilly. He said to her, "Notify Puerh and Kevin, tell them I will be going back soon, and ask if they need anything."

"Okay, Young Master."

Hilly walked into the bedroom and didn't see Puerh and Kevin. She then walked into the study and saw Puerh lying on the desk, flipping through a book with her paws. It was a romance novel.

Kevin, lying on the carpet, had a pair of gold-rimmed glasses on his dog nose, and a pen in his paw, doodling on a large piece of paper.

Hilly felt that the pet cat and pet dog in the house were much more cultured than herself.

Puerh looked up and looked at Hilly, asking,"Do you need anything, dear big butt?"

"Master said he wants to go back for a while and asked if you need to prepare anything?"

"Oh, of course!"

Puerh jumped off the desk and landed on Kevin's back:

"You stupid dog, let's pack our luggage. We have a lot of things to bring back this time."

"Woof woof!"

"Do you need my help?" Shili asked.

It turns out that a generous salary can enhance a person's resistance. For example, Shili has become accustomed to the existence of this talking cat at home and even to its comments on her afternoon tea skills.

"No, we can do it ourselves."

"Okay, then I'll inform the master."

...

Karun took a walk in the yard for a while. Doradora and Lin were studying in the room, so he naturally didn't want to disturb them and walked into the storage room.

There were originally five coffins in the storage room, but now there were only four left. One had just been taken away by Richard and they hadn't had time to replenish it.

Among these four coffins, only one was empty, and the other three had something inside.

Karun pushed open a coffin lid, intending to see Puerh or Kevin's puppet. Unexpectedly, the first one that came out was a maid costume puppet.

"It's still kept here..."

He accidentally brought it back home the day before he went on a mission to Darkmoon Island. He thought this thing would be disposed of, but he didn't expect it to be stored by his family.

Closing it back, Karun pushed open another coffin lid, and inside was indeed Puerh. Not only did it look the same, but even the clothes were custom-made.

Mr. Lemar's craftsmanship was impeccable. The puppet looked exactly like a real person from the outside, with no difference at all.

Karun instinctively wanted to reach out and feel the texture. Originally, he was standing at the foot of the coffin, so if he reached out, he could only touch Puerh's leg.

But this action seemed too obscene. After hesitating for a moment, Karun walked to the head of the coffin and pressed his back of the hand against Puerh's face.

Although it was a bit cold, it was smooth and slippery.

Karun even pinched Puerh's cheek, and then he laughed.

After pushing the coffin lid back, he walked out of the storage room and happened to see Shili walking over. "Master, they are ready."

"Okay, I know."

"Master, do you need me to prepare some food for the journey?"

"Just prepare something simple."

"I understand."

Karun sat down on a bench in the courtyard. After a while, he saw Puerh and Kevin walking side by side. The reason Puerh didn't ride on Kevin's back was because Kevin was carrying two big bags on his back, and he had one in his mouth.

Gu Ming

"Bringing so many things?"

This novel is available on bit.ly/3iBfjkV.

"These are materials needed for the formation. We will bring them back and do the final debugging with the stupid dog." "I don't know how long I can stay." Karun said, "I may have a mission at any time."

"It's okay, you can come back first. Allen Manor doesn't lack drivers."

"Okay."

At this time, Shili also brought the packed lunch box.

Karun got up and walked into the study, holding the sword box. As long as conditions allowed, he would always bring the big sword with him.

After placing the things in the car, Karun started the car. Just at this moment, Alfred came back from outside and saw Puerh and Kevin sitting in the car. He asked, "Master, are you going back to the manor?"

"Yes."

"There is something I need to report to the master."

"You can speak."

"The demon intelligence organization that I participated in building..."

"Wasn't it destroyed?"

"We only caught a few psychic demons. The rest have regrouped, and because of the previous blow, their activities are even more secretive now."

"Do you have any ideas?"

"I have always felt that this is a resource that can be utilized, but the premise is to integrate it properly and avoid another incident like last time."

"If you want to do it, go ahead. When I come back, I will report to the captain. You can treat the demon group you formed as our team's intelligence organization."

"Yes, master."

...

After Karun drove the car out of the funeral home, Puerh, who was sitting in the passenger seat, spoke, "The radio fairy is feeling lonely and wants to do something."

"I know, so I support it."

Especially after learning about the "Silent" organization, Alfred didn't even need Karun to remind him. He directly expressed his concerns.

But this also meant that Alfred had lost a major pursuit.

Karun took out a cigarette, bit it in his mouth, and said, "The reason why I decided to participate in this selection has another reason. Mr. Pavarro's identity is still a bit low. After I come back from the Gate of Reincarnation, I should be promoted to the captain of the Order of the Whip. If I can form my own team, then my and your activities will have much more space."

"Wow." Puerh blinked, "So you mean, we can also join your Order of the Whip team, including the radio fairy?"

"Yes."

"But the main problem is that it's inconvenient for me and the stupid dog's puppets to move."

There will be new ways, or you can be in charge."

"That sounds tempting." Puerh smiled, "And even Leicar and Old Samansu can be awakened and join the team!"

"Well, that's not possible for now. There may still be a long way to go."

"Dreams are always there. That's what you wrote in your notebook."

"Yes, dreams are always there."

Karun picked up the lighter.

Puerh curiously asked, "Karun, are you smoking again?"

Only then did Karun realize it and smiled. He took the cigarette out of his mouth and threw it out of the window, cursing, "Damn Bellnar."

Although Karun was driving fast and the road conditions were good, it was already late at night when they arrived at the boundary of Allen Manor.Now, about ten minutes away from the mansion's main gate, two horse riders appeared in front of Karun. They also noticed the second-hand black Porsche behind them.

Karun stopped the car, and they stopped their horses.

Bog immediately dismounted and excitedly walked towards Karun, greeting him with a smile:

"Master, you're back!"

Judia remained on her horse, her neck held high in arrogance. Clearly, she still harbored a strong hostility towards Karun, especially after he nearly beat her to death last time.

What was most infuriating was that he kept claiming it was unintentional.

"Are you out for a walk?" Karun asked as he got out of the car.

"There's a new training ground for the young members of the family over there. We train there during the day and rest at night. Master, didn't you call to inform us before you came back?"

"No, I just happened to have some free time."

At this moment, Kevin, who was sitting in the back seat, stretched out his paw and patted Puerh's seat. Puerh turned to look at Kevin, who nodded towards Judia, who was still on her horse.

Puerh responded, "The young girl is stubborn, reminds me of myself when I was young. But she doesn't have my talent. Of course, she's not too bad either. Now... she seems to be at level four, she's leveled up. Bog has also leveled up, he's at level three now.

It's ridiculous, the most talented ones in our generation are all raised outside the family."

At this point, Judia rode over, her eyes filled with obvious provocation.

Puerh laughed, "The girl is asking for a beating again. Poor thing, she thinks she can regain her dignity now that she's leveled up."

"Woof."

Bog shouted at Judia, "Judia, dismount and greet the young master."

Puerh spoke up, "Look, Bog is deliberately adding fuel to the fire. He knows that Judia has a bad impression of Karun and understands her temper. He's setting her up to maintain his position in front of Karun.

Karun was right, he's a wolf cub. But if the family is to be revived, we really need someone like him. This kid could be groomed to be the family head if Eunice doesn't want to."

"Woof." Kevin nodded.

Puerh yawned, "Let them fight. After they're done, we can go back for supper and sleep. It seems like every time Karun comes back, he has to beat her up."

Sure enough, upon hearing Bog's words, Judia raised an eyebrow, pointed at Karun, and said, "I want to spar with you again."

"I want to go home early." Karun ignored her and prepared to get back in the car.

For Karun now, going home to beat up a little girl really wasn't interesting.

Only someone like Ped was barely qualified.

And the truly excellent opponents of his age within the church that he would face during the selection.

"Snap!"

Judia whipped the car door with her riding crop, chipping off a layer of paint.

Puerh shook her head, "It's over. Karun cherishes this second-hand car. He could have ridden a horse back, but now he'll probably have to lie on the horse's back."

Kevin nodded in agreement.

Looking at the chipped paint on the car door, Karun said, "The paint's chipped."

"My allowance can buy you a new car." Judia laughed.

She wasn't naively mocking Karun for being poor. She knew that more than half of the mansion belonged to Karun. She simply wanted to provoke Karun into fighting her again.

Of course, in Puerh's eyes, she simply wanted to provoke Karun into beating her up.

Karun nodded and looked at Judia.

To further provoke and escalate the situation, Judia deliberately raised her hand and beckoned to Karun.

Puerh covered her eyes with her paw, "Karun's strongest skill now is the Dark Moon Blade, because of those eyes. Oh, she's actually provoking a warrior at such a close distance. Doesn't she know to keep some distance first? I really can't bear to watch."

Kevin also imitated Puerh, covering his eyes with his paw, but left a large gap to continue peeking.

Bog quietly retreated a few steps.

Facing Judia, Karun's eyes turned red instantly, and the Dark Moon Eye was activated directly.

Judia, who was stared at by this gaze, immediately froze, a huge sense of panic rising in her heart.

The power of the Dark Moon on Karun completely erupted at this moment. He no longer had to hold back like when he was fighting Ped;

Most importantly, he didn't want to waste too much time here. Maybe Eunice was awake now.

Karun disappeared from his original position and appeared in front of Judia in an instant.

Judia was shocked by this astonishing speed. Instinctively, she conjured layers of ice shields in front of her, and the long sword hanging on her horse flew out. But Karun simply reached out his left hand, and the terrifying heat of the Dark Moon Blade instantly melted all the ice shields in front of him. His right hand was empty, and Judia's long sword fell into Karun's hand.

With his left hand gripping Judia's neck, Karun lifted her off the horse. The power of the Dark Moon instantly invaded her body, disrupting the organization of her spiritual power. He let go, and Judia fell.

Karun swung the long sword with his right hand, hitting Judia with the flat of the blade.

"Bang!"

"Ah!"

Judia was sent flying, drawing a beautiful parabola before falling into the woods beside the road.

This scene reminded Bog of the days when he used to help the young master retrieve golf balls.

"Bog."

"Hmm? Master, yes!"

"Go fetch the ball."

"Yes, master!"

Bog immediately ran into the woods to find Judia.

Karun dropped the long sword, walked back to the car, bent down, and carefully touched the chipped paint on the car door, sighing:

"Sigh."
