Chapter 1292: What A Father Should Do

“I am indeed just an ordinary person,”father Zhang said expressionlessly. “If you are looking for the murderer of Slade, then you are obviously looking for the wrong person.”

“Relax, I am not here to interrogate you.”The old man watched the two colored balls enter the hole, changed directions, and crouched down again, “And I know that you didn’t do what happened at Copenhagen International Airport because you haven’t left Ireland during this period of time, right?”

“Are you spying on me?”Father Zhang’s face darkened. “We had an agreement when we were separated. You promised not to disturb us anymore.”

“I remember that my original words were… If that child wasn’t in danger, I wouldn’t have appeared again.”The old man swung his club again and shot a black ball into the bag, “I have kept my promise. I haven’t disturbed you and your wife in the past 18 years. But as I said before, maybe I underestimated you from the beginning. If I had known you better, I probably wouldn’t have made such a promise.”.

“You shouldn’t have come back,”father Zhang said in a deep voice.

“No, on the contrary. It’s fortunate that I came back. Otherwise, you would have been in big trouble.”The old man put away the club, looked at Father Zhang, and sighed, “To be honest, I didn’t expect you to walk on such a path. I thought you were one of the few people who really understood us. You Wouldn’t idolize us, nor would you look down on us. You and your wife are like two bystanders. You know our history and where we come from… So why don’t you continue to observe and get yourself involved? No one should know better than you how dangerous it is.”

“I have no idea what you’re talking about.”

“This bullet… you invented it, didn’t you?”The old man finally gave up on the charade and pointed at the bullet casing on the table, “I’m sorry, but my men have been keeping an eye on you and your wife for the past four months. Initially, I wanted to know if your attitude toward Zhang Heng had changed. After all, we haven’t seen each other for a long time, and humans are a species that can easily change their minds. In the end, I accidentally discovered that you were secretly communicating with a group of people behind your wife’s back.”

“You’re very careful. You never call and only send emails, so you don’t leave your voice messages, and you don’t use your computer, tablet, or cell phone. You Go to the Internet cafe every time, and you often change places. You even drive an hour to the next city, and you only use a temporary email address with a 24-hour limit to send emails. So my people can’t find out who you’re contacting, and this matter has also aroused my curiosity.”

“I’m bisexual and have a same-sex lover, but as a husband, I have to hide this forbidden relationship,”father Zhang said seriously.

The old man was amused by him, “It’s useless even if you’re self-deprecating. Don’t forget who I am. I Can’t change the past, but after you leave the Internet Cafe, you can go back half an hour and sneak a peek. Also, do you want to make a bet?”

“What Bet?”

“I bet the clip of the gun behind you contains the same kind of bullets,”the old man said leisurely as he placed the billiard cue on the ground, “It’s a pity. We had such a good conversation before. I thought we would become friends.”

“Friends? I Won’t forget that you forced us to enter the city under the ice.”

“And you also saved the world, didn’t you?”? “You know very well how terrible things would have been if the master of the city under the ice had come out. If I hadn’t organized that scientific expedition, the entire world might have been shrouded in fear by now. After that, you proposed to adopt the child, and I agreed. I even gave him a talisman to help him block the connection with the Master of the city under the ice. I did almost everything I could.”The old man spread his hands.

“That’s the problem. Based on my understanding of you, Kronos would never be so kind for no reason.”

“So, ten years ago, you began to search the world for people who hated the gods for various reasons, gathering them together. At the same time, you consciously guided them and helped them find a way to fight against the gods with a mortal body. In the end, you created these god-slaying bullets for these extremists?”As the old man spoke, he picked up the shell casing by the edge of the table again.

“They were not extremists. They only had relatives or friends who died at the hands of the gods. Most of them were not even the targets of those gods. For example, there was a captain who brought his younger brother and son out to sea to fish. In the end, he met Poseidon, who was in a bad mood that day and set off a 40-meter-high wave on the sea. In the end, his son and younger brother died in that shipwreck. For so many years, he had lived in despair and pain because no one believed his words. They only thought that he was hallucinating due to excessive grief. He also thought that he would never be able to take revenge

“Then you gave them hope. Hatred is the best driving force. “I admit that some of us do things very crudely, but these bad habits are also given to us by you humans because you think that our image will be more flesh and blood, more similar to yours, and more conducive to the spread of those stories.”The old man put his palm on the club, “Drama. Most of us also hate this word. To us, it’s like a curse.

“Also, don’t make yourself sound so righteous. Others may not know, but I know very well your true purpose in doing this. It’s not to avenge those extremists. You must have already figured it out in your heart. Sooner or later, Zhang Heng’s true identity will be revealed. When that day comes, it’s not hard to guess how the gods will react. Killing him is the easiest way to solve the problem. You know that this child will one day become the enemy of all the gods, so you’ve been trying to think of a way since ten years ago.

“If the gods want to kill him, then kill them all. If I hadn’t read your email, I wouldn’t have believed that an ordinary person who looks easy-going and has a good temper as described by his friends would have such a crazy and arrogant idea.”

“I just did what a father should do,”father Zhang said calmly.

“Even if this decision will destroy the whole world? “It’s not just us gods, there are other humans as well. You should understand that allowing Zhang Heng to live means that the master of underice city might be able to escape… interesting, even though there is a part of your blood flowing in his body, he wasn’t born between you and your wife. is it really necessary to do this?”The old man asked curiously.
