Chapter 53： 3 years

Allen did feel lost. In his life, Lucy could be said to be the first true friend. After they have experienced a short but thrilling journey together, the girl has left an indelible silhouette in Alan's heart. But now, she is traveling far, and it is a lie to say that she is not sad. He is still only a teenager, even if his heart becomes stronger than steel because of the hardships of life, there are still some soft and warm places.

Three fingers shook in front of Ellen's eyes suddenly, Lucy said loudly: "Three years! Ellen, I will come back to you in three years."

She scratched her hair a little embarrassedly, and said, "The noise made this time is indeed a bit big. The old man will definitely stop me. But it doesn't matter. I will definitely come to you in three years. Don't let it. People should be killed in advance."

"No...no!" Allen's eyes gradually lit up and said, "So are you, don't let people kill them."

Lucy "hehe" gave a long smile: "In Ida Huaxing, the one who can kill me hasn't been born yet!"

Although she was smiling, the faint sadness in the corner of the girl's eyes could not be concealed. After she stopped, she gently took off the pendant between her neck: "This is the tears of Alisa. Alisa is the moon **** we worship. I will leave it to you for the time being. At night, put it in the moonlight, and you can see me in the moonstone."

Lucy took Alan's hand and put the chain pendant on the boy's hand. Allen could feel the girl's body temperature in the pendant.

The door of the theater opened at this time, and Metaron stood at the door and said solemnly: "Your Highness, time is up."

"I know." Lucy lowered her head, not wanting Alan to see her red eyes. After giving the boy a hug hard, she grabbed the crown ornament and left. When she got far enough, she turned her head and blinked and smiled: "I'm leaving Allen, see you in three years!"

"Definitely!" Allen said forcefully.

Lucy nodded, and then walked out of the theater with Metaron. Alan could still hear their conversation, and Metaron took a cold breath as soon as he stepped out of the theater: "Your Highness, where are the tears of Alisa?"

"Leave it to Allen for safekeeping."

"That's the tears of Alusa!"

"Oh, isn't it just a pendant, teacher, you are making a big fuss."

"That's not an ordinary pendant, it's..."

The voice faded away, and Allen smiled. He spread his hand, looked at the pendant between his palms, and sat on the chair of the theater. The fine workmanship of the pendant, as large as the carving of the crescent-shaped gemstone, as small as the pattern of the slender silver wire, all hints at the extraordinaryness of this pendant. Alan squeezed it tightly, vowing to wear it back to Lucy's neck with his hands in three years.

"Really an independent lady, isn't she?" Suddenly a voice sounded nearby.

Allen jumped up like a burst of electricity passing through his body. Although I was distracted because of Lucy's departure, I still didn't know when I was so alert that I was touched by someone. You must know that if the other party is malicious, now I am afraid that he has become a corpse.

Suddenly jumped to the front row of chairs, Allen arched his body, put the sinker in his pocket, and made a move that he could pounce at any time. Then he saw clearly that there was an old man with silver hair beside his position just now. He was wearing a well-made suit, with his hands on his knees quietly, and his rigorous and perfect sitting posture made Alan see a graceful gentleman.

"I'm sorry, I scared you." The old man looked at Alan and said sincerely: "Please allow me to introduce myself first. I'm Horn, Horn Bethkod."

"Allen."

The old man nodded and smiled: "Then Mr. Allen, are you planning to squat and talk to me? It's not very polite."

Alan jumped out of the chair awkwardly, and I stretched out his hand and patted his position just now and said: "Don't be nervous, sit down, let's talk casually."

At this time, the young man did not know the meaning of Bethkod, and naturally he did not know the identity of Horn. He walked over according to his words and sat beside Horn. Alan didn't know that it was not easy to sit next to this old man. Even the direct children of his own family would need a lot of walking and arrangements to see Horne in order to get such a rare opportunity.

If they knew that Ellen would sit next to the old man casually, I'm afraid those people would have to live and die.

"I have to thank you, Mr. Allen." The old man said indifferently: "You won the game, and at the same time you won me a rich return."

Allen nodded: "You're welcome."

He also heard that the participants in the death ring would become betting targets. In Allen's understanding, the old man in front of him must have made an investment in himself and got a return. But what Allen didn't know was that even in terms of Bethkod's strong financial resources, winning 50 million federal coins overnight on him was a great fortune.

This is because Allen ranks first and the odds are one to one. Otherwise, Horn's return will be even more generous.

Horn smiled slightly, without explaining, he spread his hands and said: "Look at Mr. Allen, although we are not the largest family in Babylon, we are also a bit famous. Your performance in the death ring is remarkable, I The family welcomes talents like you. I don’t know, would you be willing to accept an old man’s invitation to join our Bethkode family?"

Allen played, although Tonisf also said that every victory in the death ring has a chance to be favored by certain families, but he did not expect this invitation to come so quickly. But Allen didn't plan to join a certain family immediately. Before that, there were two things he had to do by himself.

The boy shook his head: "Thank you very much for your invitation, Mr. Horn, I..."

"Oh, don't be too busy to refuse. Maybe you will change your mind after reading this." The old man suddenly took out a pocket watch from his pocket and opened it. There was a yellowed photo in it. He handed the pocket watch to Allen.

Allen took it suspiciously, and his eyes fell on the photo. In the photo is a stubborn and delicate girl with a profile similar to Ellen. When he saw this photo, Allen gave a slight shock. At this time, the old man next to him said: "I have four sons and two daughters. The girl in the photo is my youngest daughter and one of my favorites..."

"If I can, I want to give her everything. I want her to know how much I love her as a father. But I am also the father of other children. I can't be too partial, so I always keep strict. Maybe. Because of this, she gradually alienated me and allowed a man to take advantage of it. The child who regarded me as a precious treasure, just took away from me." Horn closed his eyes slightly, his face was full of Painful expression: "If time can come back, maybe I should have a good talk with her instead of expelling her from the family so she can never return to me."

"You may still be unable to understand how painful this is for a father." Horn looked at Alan, his eyes softened: "I thought I would never get her in this life. The news, until the beginning of this death ring, I saw you on the live show. Alan, do you know? I believe that is God’s guidance, he brought you to Babylon. So can you tell me, you Is her mother’s name...Lanny?"

Allen shook again, and the pocket watch in his hand fell to the ground. He looked at Horn, breathing quickly, and lost his voice: "Are you... my grandpa?"

Horn stretched out a trembling hand and dropped it on Alan's face: "Yes, child. Your mother Lanny, whose full name should be Lanny Bethkod. God, my child, what is she doing now? Well, how are you doing?"

"She..." Allen's vision suddenly became blurred, and the black snow and silver ring flickered in front of him again. He couldn't say anything in the end, and Allen lowered his head, not wanting to let people see the weakness at this moment.

Even if it was his grandpa in front of him.

Horn closed her eyes, her chest rose and fell sharply, and it took a long time to sigh: "She really left, didn't she? I think so, otherwise, she would not let her child participate in the death ring."

"Five years ago, a predator attacked the town where we live. Mother she..." Allen picked up the pocket watch on the ground and looked at the mother who was about his age in the photo: "On that day, she will always He left mePredators!" Horn opened his eyes sharply, "Well, I will make them regret being born in this world!"

"No!" Allen jumped up and said loudly, "I want to avenge this enmity by myself, using my own power!"

Horn carefully looked at the child in front of him, and the old man sighed softly: "You really are Lanni's child, the same stubborn and persistent. You can take revenge yourself, but child, do you have the power?"

"It’s not easy to find a predator. The surface is so big, the manpower and material resources to be used are definitely not what you can have now. If you want to revenge yourself, then I suggest you go back to the family and return to me. By your side." Horn’s voice grew louder: "I can’t give you great power or rich wealth right away, but I can pave the way for you, pave a path to the peak of power. When you become a Bethkod clan For a long time, you can use all the power of the family to do what you want to do. You just need to remember that if you ask for something from the family, you must contribute. This is the duty of every patriarch. "

"Of course, this road will not be easy. I can even tell you that once you accept the invitation, you can't immediately gain power, but you will gain many enemies immediately. I can't even put you in the sequence of successors right away. I can only help you, but you have to rely more on yourself."

Speaking of this, Horn took a deep breath: "Then tell me, Lenny's child. Even so, would you still accept my suggestion?"

Allen didn't think about it for too long. He looked at the old man and said solemnly: "I do!"

Maybe he still doesn't know what this sentence means to him until many years later, when he looks back. Allen knew that these simple three words had completely changed his life!
