Chapter 215: Sixty-two, long time no see, father (6K)_4

Devil Knights paid their respects to Ina once more, and then they left together.

Ina sat alone at the checkpoint at the end of the bridge, gazing across to the other side.

But what she didn’t know was that, not far from her, inside a gear train, fully-armed Bone Knights were silently watching her.

…

“It’s perfect,” Gerard said softly as he felt his brand-new body, “you’re really… quite remarkable.”

Ju, while wiping sweat from her brow, pointed expressionlessly to the Chainsaw Sword placed aside: “That, I’ve fixed it as well.”

Gerard became even more Surprised.

“Can you tell me, what are you going to do tonight?” Ju asked.

Gerard immediately fell silent, then gently shook his head: “Sorry, I can’t tell you.”

Ju let out an “oh,” seemingly unSurprised, but then asked again, “Will you come back?”

Gerard looked at Ju with some astonishment.

He definitely felt that Ju was different today, although she had always been unafraid of him, she had never shown something like… anticipation towards Gerard as she did today?

Although he didn’t know what specifically had happened, at that moment, Ju still made Gerard feel a sense of daze.

Just like many years ago, the little girl who asked him when he would be returning home.

“I’ll come back,” Gerard replied.

…

The sky grew darker,

and the rain heavier.

Ina looked at the pocket watch and the time swiftly passing, suddenly feeling a bit dazed.

It seemed like returning to many years ago when she awaited Gerard’s return at home.

That restlessness and… unease.

For what felt like the umpteenth time, she stretched her head out of the checkpoint, looking across to the other side of the bridge.

But there was still nothing there, pitch-black.

“Just a while longer,”

she murmured to herself, about to pull her head back in when something in the corner of her eye caught her attention, and her entire body froze.

She saw a figure wearing a familiar uniform, walking towards her from the direction of the Polluted Land.

This… how could it be?

Ina was stunned.

She blinked subconsciously.

And just like that, the figure disappeared.

But Ina still felt her hair standing on end.

Because she was certain, the figure she saw just now… was Gerard.

But it was… Gerard from ten years ago.

She immediately came out of the checkpoint, looking around her.

But there was nothing, just the pitter-patter of rain.

…

Inside the Sky Tower.

Yong Xin stood in the lobby, watching Lyra amidst the rainy night, silently calculating the time in his mind.

“Is there any news from over there?”

Yong Xin asked.

Then a figure appeared from the shadows: “No news yet, Lord Yong Xin.”

“Is that so?” Yong Xin nodded slightly, “It seems I am too anxious. You may leave, let me know when there’s news.”

The figure stepped back.

Yong Xin continued standing by the window, looking in the direction of the Fifth Zone.

By rights, tonight ought to be the end.

The only threat would be eliminated.

Yong Xin was confident about this.

Because he didn’t believe that Gerard would leave Ina there alone, for the same reason the thing inside him kept lingering and refused to die.

Even so, Yong Xin still felt a certain anxiety.

Was he too eager?

He thought to himself, then footstep sounds reached his ears again; it was his subordinate: “Lord Yong Xin.”

“Is there news from there?”

“No,” the subordinate presented an envelope, “Your people sent to Somo City have news, this has just arrived.”

Yong Xin’s pupils contracted slightly.

He had almost forgotten about that.

Though it was no longer important, for some reason, as he looked at that sealed letter, Yong Xin’s unease intensified.

He took the letter, then waved his hand for the subordinate to leave.

After the subordinate left, he opened the envelope.

After quickly reading through, Yong Xin’s expression went from feigned composure to Surprised.

“The lost eyes… how could it be the eyes… So it was the eyes after all…”

At that moment, it was as if he understood everything.

Then, footsteps sounded once more.

Yong Xin let out a heavy sigh, then turned his head to face the newcomer.

“It’s been a long time.”

He said softly.

“Father.”
