Chapter 49: Dead Hand of God

Chapter 49: Dead Hand of God

Kevin was still in the Ernest family at this time.

It's just that he has moved from the destroyed and riddled banquet hall to an absolutely secret and safe bedroom inside.

Clothes are still neat and tidy-

In the previous sudden disaster, Kevin was not hurt.

Because he was with his friend Jim at the time, and Mrs. Chelsea's teleportation was based on Jim.

So when the chaos happened, he was not affected in the slightest.

It's just that the terrifying group of snakes and the large number of unknown enemies hidden in the masked dance always left him with lingering fears and fear.

Even now, his face is still pale, his heartbeat is fast, and he has not completely eased.

But compared to this accident, what he cared more about was the words in the mouth of the "illegitimate child"—

Just as he was viciously ridiculed by the "illegitimate child" on his front foot, his back foot was lifted to a resourceful image by the other side.

This made his mood very complicated, anger mixed with astonishment, confusion mixed with confusion...

When the banquet changed dramatically, he didn't have time to think about it. Now that it was safe, the more he thought about it, the more wrong he was.

Kevin felt that he might have been trapped into a huge and dangerous vortex by that disgusting guy.

But what is the source of this vortex?

Is it really what the other party claims, there are a group of people who are sowing discord in the dark?

However, a group of mixed blood, what qualifications do they have to stand with pure blood and be provoked by others?

Kevin couldn't figure it out.

So in the first time to ensure his own safety, he wanted to contact the elders of the family for help.

The first thing that came to his mind was, of course, his parents.

But when I contacted my father, I couldn't help but talk about the illegitimate child. He was in a chaotic mood now, and he planned to tell his father everything he knew, regardless of what he knew.

Now that Melon has been forced to become a "resourceful" person, that kind of anger is gone.

Then I felt that it was not worth it to be angry with people and affect the future of my family.

Besides, is that illegitimate child really his mother's illegitimate child?

After what happened tonight, Kevin is a little unsure about it now.

The truth is confusing, and without further evidence, he thinks it's better not to talk to his father.

As for contacting the mother?

This is even more impossible.

Because if the illegitimate child is not the mother's illegitimate child at all, isn't what he has done during this period of time denying his mother's character and suspecting that she betrayed his father?

This is bound to attract a beating!

You know, his mother's temper is not very good. Sometimes Kevin thinks that she is even fiercer than his father.

Therefore, Kevin is now contacting his grandfather, a former Deputy Minister of Magic who has "retired" and is spending his days at home.

However, because the root cause of this incident was to crack down on the "illegitimate child" plan, Kevin didn't think it was a good idea to tell his grandfather the "truth" that was still uncertain.

Maybe one accident, the old man will get angry.

So Kevin just lied that a half-blood wizard named "Iger" had offended him, so he teamed up with his friend Jim to make this game.

Apart from that, he basically didn't hide it, and explained everything he knew to his grandfather.

Including how you embarrassed yourself in front of each other.

Then there is the long wait.

"I don't know if this excuse can fool the past..."

Holding the open book of secret words, Kevin paced back and forth on the bedroom floor.

Five minutes later, the book in his hand suddenly "vibrated", which made his heart tremble, and he hurriedly looked down.

However, the first sentence on the page made him stunned.

"Your father is coming back."

…

Father is coming back?

Good thing!

But what does this have to do with what I just said?

Kevin was very surprised by this, but before he could ask, another sentence came from the other side.

This sentence is related to what he said before.

"When he returns to the United Kingdom from the colony, how do you think he will react when he hears that you are so unsatisfactory?"

...80% of them will be mad?

Being "criticized" by his grandfather, Kevin felt bitter in his heart, especially if the illegitimate child was really an illegitimate child—

What kind of father can withstand this kind of anger when his own son is played by wild species like this?

However, the grandfather didn't know about the illegitimate child, so Kevin felt that the other party's meaning might be implying that he would be beaten by his irritable father.

"What do you think?" Grandfather asked again before he could respond.

Kevin hesitated for a moment, did not answer the question directly, but instead asked:

"It's impossible for the riots in the Southern California colony to subside so quickly? Do you know why father suddenly returned?"

"Caesar is dying."

Such a sentence appeared in the book of secret words.

"Although the battle ten years ago made him famous, it also left his body with troubles that are difficult to eradicate. Now, he has not been able to survive for a few years."

Kevin was startled by this.

Granny Caesar, the hand of God of the church, the deputy commander of the Crusaders, the top hunter who has been frightened by countless wizards...is about to die?

The news really caught him by surprise.

But after the surprise, Kevin was relieved.

He is not too familiar with the profession of hunter, but he also clearly knows that the strength of this profession is at the cost of consuming the "source of life".

Activating the ability needs to consume the source of life, using the "sealed artifact" needs to consume the source of life, recovery from serious injuries and even rebirth from a severed limb, it still consumes the source of life.

Although hunters practice breathing, their vitality is very tenacious, but how much vitality can they spend over time?

There is a sentence in the extraordinary circle that sums it up well, that is, knights protect others with their own lives, and hunters obliterate others with their own lives.

Therefore, although the profession of hunter is very restrained by wizards, the wizarding world generally regards hunters as looking down or even despising them.

Although they dare not say anything on the surface, secretly, the wizards basically think that hunters are just a group of warriors who can only use "brute force". The inheritance is difficult, and they can't do anything other than fight.

The more famous he is, the quicker he will die. After seeing his beauty for a few years, he will be gone after a person, so there is no need to worry about it.

Kevin also has this mentality, so he doesn't think it's incredible that the so-called hand of God is going to die.

It's just that he doesn't understand, what does this have to do with his father returning from the colony?

"Caesar has a good relationship with your father. He secretly contacted your father not long ago, hoping that your father can come back and persuade the family to make an investment in him."

Grandfather immediately answered Kevin's doubts.

"invest?"

"Robin Lefali's life restart ceremony, Caesar wants us to help him restart his life."

"But I heard that this kind of ceremony didn't even succeed Robin himself?"

"That's right, and even if it succeeds, it will require a huge amount of manpower and material resources."

Grandfather's words came slowly from the pages.

"The stakes are high, so I'm going to refuse Caesar's request. What do you think?"

"It's a pity, but you're right."

Kevin answered.

He really thought so.

Although he despised hunters, Caesar was not just a hunter.

He is also the Deputy Commander of the Crusaders of the Church and Honorary Vice-President of the International Association of Wizards.

If a character of this level can be used by the family, the Felix family's status in the wizarding world will inevitably go further.

This level of progress cannot be achieved by accumulation of wealth alone...

However, since grandfather said that the risk is very high, the risk of this matter may not be very high, but super high.

Grandfather has always been an adventurous old man, and Kevin knows that.

So his meaning is translated, basically, unless a miracle comes, Caesar will die.

However, what miracles are there in this world?

Those who are called gods are only false gods who can only fool the world, but they have no ability to save the life of a top hunter.

It is good that they are not hunted.

"Since you also think that my judgment is correct," just as Kevin was thinking about this in his mind, another sentence came from the opposite side.

"When your father comes back, the task of appeasing him will be handed over to you. After all, he is the current patriarch of the family. I need to give him some respect."

Unconsciously, a cauldron was smashed on the forehead like this, and the smashed Kevin was instantly stunned, and then he hurriedly replied:

"This... You think too highly of me, how could my father listen to me? You still call—"

"If you're an idiot being played by some half-blood, of course your father won't listen to you."

He was interrupted by words from the other side.

"But if you are a bright and wise young man who sees through the conspiracy of an unknown enemy and lays a trap in turn, then you can do it."

Co-authoring you around in a big circle... Is the purpose actually for this?

Kevin was startled at this, and then a little helpless.

What to say?

Although he told the truth, he didn't really want to tell the truth to anyone other than his grandfather.

He also wants face, okay?

Why did grandfather think he might refuse to be fooled by that **** bastard?

He really isn't the kind of person who takes things out of his mind...

"what should I do?"

Although he vaguely felt that he was "looked down" by his grandfather, Kevin did not refute it.

Let's talk with facts, this is when he is willing to go there, he has no regrets when he is tricked, and he is very happy to obey the family's arrangement.

But then, the words from his grandfather made him stunned again.

"Send the pair of boots you're wearing under your feet to that little guy named Iger."

"Are you serious?"

Kevin asked in astonishment, "That's the boots of the wandering god? Why give it to that guy?"

As a son of a top wizard family, he certainly has various protective props on him.

Among his many portable props, the boots of wandering gods are his trump cards.

For life!

But now, what my grandfather meant was to tell him to give these boots to that "illegitimate child"! ?

"Since you chose to fall for him, he is now your collaborator, and of course we need to ensure that our collaborators will not be retaliation by those enemies afterwards."

"The safest thing is actually to send someone to protect it, but that little guy might feel uncomfortable about it, and you young people don't want someone to stare at your butt, so you have to wrong yourself."

"But, handing over these boots, I feel a little insecure..."

"Don't be afraid, grandfather, I will send someone to protect you."

Kevin is speechless.

You all said that someone was staring at the **** and was uncomfortable, and you had to send someone over...

It doesn't matter if your grandson suffers a little grievance, you mustn't neglect the guy who pits your grandson?

Being scammed, not only have to find a way to protect the bastard, but also take into account his feelings...

Kevin felt very uncomfortable.

Although now he has no hatred for the "illegitimate son" named Iger, who is actually named Meren.

But to say that there is any good impression, it is obviously impossible.

Kevin even felt quite resentful because he ate deflated on the other side.

He believes that if he hadn't taken care of his mother, he wouldn't be so "stupid" these days.

Therefore, when he saw that his grandfather "treated differently", he couldn't help feeling aggrieved.

However, it seemed that he had guessed Kevin's mood at the moment, and some handwriting appeared on the book of secret words.

"That kid is talented. If it wasn't for the Chelsea family, I would even consider sending your uncle to win him over."

"So don't worry about those small conflicts in the past, get along with others more in the future, and you can always learn some advantages from him."

"You are still young and have backgrounds and resources that others don't have. Even if you are temporarily suppressed, you don't need to worry."

"A lot of experience, sooner or later, he will bow his head and be small in front of you, and be respectful."

…

Grandfather said a lot, obviously because he was afraid that he, the grandson, would really be hit, so he woke him up with words.

However, although this is indeed the case, Kevin was not comforted, but his mood became more complicated.

He didn't understand, when did that guy get close to his "mother-in-law"?

Besides, grandfather looks down on people too much... He even asked him to learn the so-called merits of that guy?

In addition to being shameless enough, what else is he worth learning?

He was unhappy, but on the surface, Kevin replied honestly on the page.

"I see. I'll give him the boots early tomorrow morning."

"No, not tomorrow, it has to be tonight."

"Why in such a hurry?"

"If the enemy wants revenge, tonight is the best time."

"...Then I'll go right now!"

Although he is a bit careful, Kevin is still a child who listens to the elders very much. Hearing this, he will get up and find Merron.

"Don't be in a hurry."

The words that emerged from the book of secret words stopped him in time.

"Not long after this incident, even if the enemy has the spare energy to retaliate, they must have a preparation time, which will not be less than two hours.

"So now, let's talk about some trivia first."

"...What other arrangements do you have?"

Kevin asked in horror, for fear that his grandfather would tell him to give away other cards.

But this is obviously he thinks too much.

"I will contact major newspapers to report on the events at the banquet tonight, highlighting your ingenuity."

The opposite said: "How does the child's external image look like?"

Does this have anything to do with reporting?

Kevin was puzzled by this, but without hesitation, he roughly described Meren's appearance to the other party.

"That's it."

A very "brutal" sentence appeared in the book of secret words.

"I originally wanted to ask the newspaper to give him an exclusive interview, send him a personal favor, and by the way, to please the half-blood-friendly moderates in the Ministry of Magic."

"But if his image is too outstanding, he will steal your limelight, which will outweigh the gains."

Are you... calling me ugly?

Kevin was depressed again when he saw this.

But he is very self-aware of his own image, and he doesn't feel that he is from a good background and needs to rely on his appearance to elevate the impression in the eyes of others.

Don't say he's not ugly, so what if he's ugly, who would dare to underestimate him?

However, just when Kevin was so confident, the opposite side sent another "crit".

"Also, don't hang out with the Ernest kid in the future. That kind of clever kid may gain short-term benefits, but in the long run, it won't be a big deal."

"If you don't need me to teach you one day, you can make a child like Iger as a friend instead of turning him into an enemy. Even if your mind is basically mature, I can rest assured."

"…"

Being repeatedly "critically attacked" by his own relatives made Kevin feel extremely aggrieved, but he couldn't refute it.

Because the truth is, I've been acting stupid during this time.

Compared to that bastard, it's even more stupid.

No wonder others.

But because he couldn't refute it, he was even more resentful now.

So seeing that his grandfather didn't speak again, Kevin simply stopped saying anything, so as not to be provoked again.

But despite the dissatisfaction in his heart, Kevin still heard his grandfather's teachings in his heart.

Therefore, after putting away the book of secret words, he got up and walked out the door, ready to give away his boots.

As a result, as soon as he opened the door, he was surprised to find that his friend Jim was leaning against the wall opposite the door, his face gloomy, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

"when did you come?"

Kevin asked curiously, "Why didn't you knock on the door?"

The other party did not answer this question, but said in a weird and authentic tone:

"Maybe our esteemed Lord Felix can explain to your humble servant what happened tonight?"

…

The family manor was destroyed and a group of mysterious enemies sneaked into the house without knowing it.

Good friend Kai Wenming was begging him to help formulate a so-called suppression plan, but in fact he was using him and his family's manor to lay a trap.

And he doesn't know anything about it...

It is estimated that the most angry person tonight is Jim himself.

However, in front of this good friend whom he has been familiar with since childhood, Kevin opened his mouth, but couldn't tell the truth at all.

How to say?

I'm really an idiot, not as smart as **** say?

Really want to say sowww.wuxiaspot.com Where can I put my face?

After all, this is different from discussing the private lives of the elders without any scruples before.

Because the private life of one's own elders is not very disciplined, the elders of the other party are more indiscreet than their own.

Big brother doesn't laugh at second brother, there is nothing to be ashamed of.

But tonight, this...

However, if he doesn't tell the truth, it means that his previous behavior was a complete fool to the friend in front of him.

He worked hard to help him, but in the end, it turned out to be a lie, a scam, or even a use of...

How Jim would feel, Kevin could easily guess.

However, after struggling for a while, he never spoke again, just kept silent.

Because he vaguely felt that what his grandfather said before seemed to make sense...

"I understand."

After getting no response for a long time, Jim suddenly laughed, and then nodded politely to "friend".

"Have a good rest first, Kevin, you've been busy all night, you must be very tired."

"I still need to do some aftermath work, so I'll go first."

After saying that, he turned and left, his face no longer gloomy.

…

Kevin felt a little complicated about the departure of his friend, but he hurried out of the manor without thinking about it.

For fear that the illegitimate child he hated before, had an accident on his way out of the manor, which would damage his image.

However, he did not know that Mellon is not leaving here now, but is discussing issues with Mrs. Chelsea.

But Kevin is right.

Because "accidents" are indeed brewing...
