Chapter 44: Today I will know that I am me! ~Ask for a monthly ticket~)
dad?!
Jason was startled.
Alas was stunned.
But the one who was most surprised was Divano.
Devano, who was not clear-headed, looked at Esther, who was holding his thigh, at a loss. Although he had lost his memory and was confused, he still knew his understanding of family affection.
"Are you my son?"
After a long while, Divano finally asked, with a hint of uncertainty in his tone.
"Of course, Dad."
"I am your long-lost son."
"Since you, as the deputy leader of Hydra, went to look for the disappearance of the Holy Sword, I have been looking for your whereabouts for ten years!"
"Fortunately, you are back!"
Esther cried loudly while hugging Divano's thigh.
Cry loudly, shed tears, and have runny nose.
It makes those who hear it sad and those who listen to it cry.
Jason can guarantee that if he didn't know that all this was false, he would have had an illusion.
In fact, that's it.
Divano has already begun to have this illusion.
Because he was somewhat familiar with the 'Holy Sword' in Esther's words.
Suddenly, the memoryless and confused 'Sword Master' had a softer look on his face, and he raised his hand and placed it on Esther's head.
"You get up first."
The other party said this.
"Yes, Dad."
Esther wiped away her tears and stood up respectfully.
Then, he raised his hand to support Divano's arm and walked to the sofa nearby.
The whole process is natural and unpretentious.
It was as if Divano was his father.
Divano felt this feeling.
Is this really my son?
But why is it not in my memory?
Damn it, I can’t even remember my wife’s appearance in my memory!
what happened?
What happened?
Divano sat on the sofa, with confusion on his face.
Jason and Esther noticed this confusion.
Jason remained silent.
Esther raised his hand and placed it on Divano's palm. He said in a soft voice: "Dad, it's great that you are fine. Let the past be the past. We will all be fine."
"What happened in the past...?"
Divano couldn't help but ask.
"You were once the deputy leader of 'Hydra' and the best swordsman in the world. Ten years ago there was a rumor that a 'holy sword' was born. After you found out about it, you went to look for it. Then, you encountered the 'holy sword'.
The Palace's ambush, when the Talons of the Night Owl Court went to support you, it was already too late. Not only did they not find you, they also suffered heavy losses."
"And you..."
Speaking of this, Esther paused.
"What's wrong with me?"
Divano, whose memory was lost and confused, asked.
"You were designed by the contemporary pope to have all your memories washed away, and you became the 'Sword Master' Divano of the 'Temple'."
Esther said with a painful look on his face.
"Erase the memory?"
"That is to say..."
"Is my current state caused by the 'Temple'?"
There was a hint of coldness in Divano's expression.
"Um."
"The contemporary pope is a genius in magic. He should have used some special magic to integrate into your soul, dad, making you think that you are a genius cultivated by the 'temple'. Then, in the past ten years, you have used '
You serve the 'Temple' in the name of 'Juggernaut', but your current identity is Avant Joe, the deputy leader of 'Hydra'."
"And I am the son who inherited your deputy leader of Hydra, Esther Joe."
Esther spoke the most sincere words.
Although none of them are true, these words are all well-founded.
Esther knew quite clearly about the contemporary pope of the 'Temple' through the information of the 'Asylum' and the 'Holy Snake Society', and the other party's reputation as a 'surgical genius' was even more well-known.
Esther learned about Joe's surname from Jason's story just now.
He knows what 'Joe' means to Devano.
So, at this time, he simply changed his surname.
No!
Not a replacement!
Yes!
He doesn't have a surname to begin with. What's wrong with adding one now?
In fact, what Aster did was quite smart.
After hearing Esther's story, Divano immediately fell into deep thought.
Joe?!
Avant Joe?
Avant Joe!
This name was very familiar to him, even more familiar than the word 'Holy Sword'. Moreover, he secretly felt that this surname was very important to him, as if it was the answer he had been searching for all his life.
It is a longing imprinted on the soul.
Even if there are cracks in the soul, this desire has not changed.
On the contrary!
This desire becomes more and more profound.
because……
He has no other distracting thoughts.
Only that scene remains that will never be forgotten.
However, under Esther's words, the concept of such an unforgettable scene was changed.
Divano sat there in a daze.
He closed his eyes.
He felt it all.
yes.
It must be pursued throughout your life.
Because, this is my last name!
This is the beginning of my birth!
Divano opened his eyes with his eyes closed, and he let out a heavy breath.
The memory is lost, and most of the chaotic haze has disappeared.
After all, he now knows his name.
The rest will naturally come back slowly.
"son?"
Devano...no, Avant. Joe tentatively shouted to Esther.
"Dad, your memory has recovered!"
Esther didn't have any shyness or embarrassment, and looked at Avant Joe with a surprised look on his face.
On the contrary, this made Avant Qiao feel a little sad and sad.
He still didn't remember everything about the son in front of him.
But looking at Esther's expectant eyes, he couldn't say this.
"I remember some, very vague."
Avant Qiao had to say this vaguely.
However, Esther didn't seem to notice this. He said excitedly: "Great! Great! Your mother will be happy when you return safely. She has been looking forward to your return while she was alive."
When Avant heard his son talking about his wife, he felt a little awkward at first.
Like the son in front of him, he had no memory of his wife.
But when he heard 'she is alive', Avant's heart suddenly trembled, and an extremely unfamiliar emotion appeared in his heart.
sad?
Mourning?
He was a little unclear.
I just feel that I should do something at this moment.
"How did she die?"
Avant asked.
"'temple'!"
"She died in a well-planned assassination in the Temple."
"Those 'faceless men' disguised themselves as you and assassinated my mother."
Esther's face was full of grief, and the tears she had just wiped flowed out again.
"'Temple', 'Temple'..."
Avant whispered.
The gaze in his eyes became colder and colder, and the sharp aura on his body was once again looming.
Since waking up, is this the first time he has heard this name?
It caused him to lose his memory, turned him into a killing tool, and assassinated his wife in his appearance. How confused and desperate would his wife be when she died?
He also allowed his son to grow up in an environment without a father and a mother, and he probably also received a certain amount of bullying...
Huchi, wheeze.
Avant's emotions couldn't help but get excited when he thought of this.
He narrowed his eyes slightly, and an idea began to take root in his heart.
‘Temple’?
If I don’t praise you all, I won’t be called Avant Joe.
With this thought in his heart, Avant looked at Esther with even more guilt.
"Dad, let's go see mom first."
"She has been waiting for you to come back."
"By the way, your current appearance is a bit inappropriate. Please wait a moment."
With that said, Esther ran into the bedroom.
Soon, Esther ran out holding a cloak and mask.
"You put this on, put this on."
"You have been controlled by the 'Temple' for too long, and your appearance has been known to too many people. Although this is not your original face, when we find a way to restore your original face, please
Just be patient for now."
"Damn 'Temple', I will definitely make them pay the price."
Esther's face showed just the right amount of hatred.
"Child, trust me."
"The price they pay will be far beyond your imagination."
As Avant said this, he put on his cloak and mask.
That mask is similar to that of the 'Night Owl Court'.
Then, Avant turned his eyes to Jason and Alas.
"Dad, these are our companions. They are from the 'Night Owl Court'. You once had the opportunity to enter there, but for the sake of your mother, you chose to become the deputy leader of 'Hydra'. However, the previous chief judge,
The title of 'Claw No. 1' is still reserved for you; and I am able to live until now thanks to their care."
Esther explained.
Immediately, Avant's eyes became kind.
"Hello, thank you for everything you have done for Esther."
Avant said sincerely.
"It should."
Jason said this calmly.
He tried his best to stay normal.
Aster is really amazing... With such acting skills and reaction speed, even if the opponent is thrown into a city that never sleeps, he will probably be able to adapt quickly, right?
Jason thought to himself.
Alas stood up and said respectfully:
"Hello Uncle Avant."
Her mother told her to be polite when facing her elders.
Suddenly, Avant's eyes became more kind.
He was keenly aware that the girl in front of him truly regarded him as an elder.
As for the other one?
Thoughtful.
However, Avant didn't care.
In an organization, it is impossible for all good people to be as good as one's own son. There must be some gloomy people, which is a necessary part of an organization.
It's normal, isn't it?
A group of four people left their temporary hiding place and drove directly to the suburban cemetery.
The cemetery in Angcheng is no different from ordinary cemeteries. It also has walls and tombkeepers.
The other party is an elderly man.
When I saw Esther, I laughed.
"Ester, are you coming to see your mother again?"
"It's been less than a week."
The gravekeeper said.
"My father is back and I took him to see my mother."
Esther answered like this.
"Your father who has been missing for a long time?"
As the tombkeeper spoke, he looked at Avant, who was wearing a mask, with doubts and a hint of contempt in his eyes, as if he saw a heartless man who ran away and came back to recognize his son after his old conscience found out, hoping that his son would give him life.
It's normal to take care of yourself until the end of your life.
Moreover, looking at his hidden appearance, he might have gotten into something.
"Thank God, Esther is the best young man I have ever met."
"Although you abandoned your wife and children, Esther will not ignore you."
"Go see your wife."
"She's right there."
The tombkeeper pointed to the distance, Esther led the way, and Avant followed.
When the two walked away, the tombkeeper muttered in a low voice.
"What a lucky guy to have such a wonderful son."
Jason stood still and didn't move.
Alas wanted to follow, but Jason held him back.
"Let them be alone for the rest of the time."
Jason said this.
Alas was stunned for a moment, then nodded.
"Does Esther come every week?"
Jason asked, thinking about the gravekeeper.
"Um."
"Since her mother was buried here, he would come once a week with flowers and then stay there for half an hour to talk to his mother."
"I have never seen such a nice young man."
The gravekeeper sighed.
Then, his eyes couldn't help but look towards the deserted grave in the distance.
Then, he shook his head and sighed.
Jason thanked him and walked back to the car at the entrance of the cemetery, waiting quietly.
Alas sat next to Jason and squirmed.
After a while, Alas couldn't bear it anymore.
"Uncle Avant is really Esther's father?"
Alas asked.
"What do you think?"
Jason asked rhetorically.
"I think so!"
"I can clearly feel Esther's feelings for Uncle Avant. They are feelings that can only be felt by descendants whose bloodline continues. My perception should not be wrong!"
Alas said firmly.
"Well, your perception is correct."
"Avent is Esther's father."
Jason nodded.
Then, he looked towards the sky.
There are a few white clouds hanging in the blue sky.
The breeze blew by, bringing with it the slightest sense of comfort.
It's so natural and not artificial.
Just like Aster's acting skills.
No!
That's not acting!
Instead, he truly regards Avant as his long-lost father.
There is no fraud at all.
Completely affectionate.
If you want to deceive others, do you have to deceive yourself first?
"He's such an unexpected guy."
Jason praised this.
He retracted his previous evaluation of Esther. Esther would not only adapt quickly in the 'City That Never Sleeps', but he would also live well and become the kind of person who excels others.
With how shameless this guy is, this will definitely happen.
Esther, who was evaluated by Jason in this way, was standing in front of a tombstone with a sad face.
"Mom, I'm here to see you."
"I brought dad back."
As Esther said this, she took out the bucket and cloth that she had prepared long ago and began to wipe the tombstone.
‘Sizhuo’!
There is a name and a photo engraved on the tombstone.
The woman in the photo has an ordinary face, but she has a beautiful smile.
Avant looked at his wife.
He still couldn't remember.
This made him feel even more guilty.
Not only the guilt of not being able to remember, but also the fact that there is only a name on the tombstone, but no surname.
Obviously, this is hidden and worried about accidents.
call!
Avant took a deep breath, bent down, picked up a piece of cloth, and began to wipe the tombstone.
