Chapter 1008 Confession (Jiaojiao vs. Godfather Fan)
Shi also returned to H City overnight and never contacted Gu Jiao again. Even if they bumped into each other, he would stay far away and never have anything to do with Gu Jiao again.
Gu Jiao's life continued as usual, but she no longer tried to make friends easily.
In addition, as the intensity of training increased, she lost control more and more frequently.
She needed to control the stimulation that blood brought her, so her godfather decided to let her study medicine.
At the age of sixteen, she was in her second year of high school, but she was admitted to the Capital Medical College with the highest score in science in the province.
At seventeen, she began taking on missions of D rank or higher.
At eighteen, she received her first S-class mission.
This is the first member, besides the Godfather, to receive an S-class mission right after coming of age. No wonder he's a child trained by the Godfather.
The mission was to assassinate a drug lord in F continent, and Gu Jiao performed it exceptionally well.
During the month she was away in F continent, the godfather turned down all the tasks assigned by the organization.
Gu Jiao was unaware that he had declined the offer and still thought he was doing well in China.
The organization, however, had already noticed something.
Just as Gu Jiao and her godfather returned to the organization one after the other, Allen, one of the three bosses, called the godfather to his office.
“You’ve been paying a lot of attention to movies lately,” Allen said bluntly.
"That's my business," the Godfather said calmly.
Allen, holding a glass of red wine, smiled and said, "I know she's the one you brought back, and you've been carefully nurturing her. But you should understand the rules of the organization. If you just want to sleep with her, fine, but don't get any real feelings involved."
The godfather ignored him and turned to leave.
Allen coldly watched his retreating figure, then tilted his head back and took a sip of red wine.
Then, he looked at the video playing on his computer and said to the person in it, "We'll take that task, but I want ten times the commission!"
Not long after Gu Jiao returned to China, she received another assignment.
This mission is rather unusual. Someone wants to sabotage the marriage between two powerful financial families and has arranged for an assassin to kill the bride at the wedding.
After negotiating with the groom, it was decided that Gu Jiao would walk into the church in place of the bride. Cheetah and Eagle lay in ambush, ready to kill the groom as soon as he made a move.
It sounds easy, but the assassin is no ordinary person; he's ranked second only to King in the underworld, so it's actually a very dangerous mission.
If anything goes wrong, Gu Jiao's life could be in danger.
“The cheetah and the eagle are no match for each other.” The Godfather frowned as he sat in his office chair.
The assistant sighed, "But the mission has already been assigned, and it's impossible to call them back. Besides, you've been refusing missions lately, which has already annoyed the higher-ups. You shouldn't get involved in this mess."
On the day of the mission.
The Godfather still went.
He didn't replace the cheetah or the eagle, nor did he lie in wait in the shadows; instead, he chose to replace the groom.
His disguise was so good that even the eagle and the cheetah didn't recognize him at first glance.
Gu Jiao didn't even glance at the groom.
The priest asked, "Sir, do you take this lady beside you to be your wife, to have and to hold from this day forward, for better, for worse, for richer, for poorer, in sickness and in health, to stay with her forever?"
He said, "Yes, I do."
Hearing the familiar voice, Gu Jiao's heart skipped a beat, and she looked up in surprise.
The priest then asked, "Madam, do you take this man to be your husband, to have and to hold from this day forward, for better, for worse, for richer, for poorer, in sickness and in health, to stay with him forever?"
"Huh?" She stared blankly at the man in front of her. Godfather?
The godfather raised his long, slender hand and gently stroked her cheek, looking deeply into her eyes: "Are you willing?"
"I..." Gu Jiao was so shocked that she couldn't speak.
Just then, the assassin disguised as a guest fired at Gu Jiao.
Everything happened in the blink of an eye. Gu Jiao had no time to react when her godfather stepped in front of her, taking two bullets to the chest.
He also fired at the other person.
The enemy was shot, and the scene was chaotic.
It took the cheetah and the eagle a long time to target him, only because he was injured and couldn't run fast.
If the Godfather hadn't shown up, Gu Jiao would be dead today, and the murderer would have escaped.
"Godfather!" Gu Jiao supported him.
The blood from his chest stained her pure white wedding dress.
He forced himself to say, "Take me back to the medical pod."
The medical pod exists in another space, and its current entrance is in a villa owned by him.
Gu Jiao sped all the way, running countless red lights, and finally got him back to the medical pod before he passed out.
He removed the bullet himself and lay down in the treatment chamber.
Every time he is injured, a large amount of energy is dissipated from his body.
He soon fell into a deep sleep due to his weakness.
When he opened his eyes again, he found Gu Jiao lying motionless in the treatment chamber, nestled beside him.
The treatment ward sensed his awakening and lit up with a soft, warm light.
By the light, he could see the situation inside the warehouse; Gu Jiao's blood was being continuously transfused into his body.
She had been losing for an unknown amount of time; her fair and rosy face had turned deathly pale, and even her lips had lost their usual color.
"What are you doing?" he asked in a hoarse voice, frowning.
Gu Jiao's eyelids twitched slightly, but she didn't open them. She remained lying on her side beside him, as obedient as a kitten.
"Don't you... want my blood?"
She said softly.
Her words seemed to come out of nowhere, and at first glance, one might have thought she was just talking nonsense due to extreme weakness.
But the Godfather still understood.
She knew everything.
He brought her back, nurtured her with care, and spared no effort to make her strong, all so that one day he could use her blood to prolong his life.
"I'm willing," she said softly, her forehead resting against his strong shoulder. "I'm willing to give you my life."
...
Gu Jiao fell ill.
Her constitution was different from that of ordinary people; this was the first time in her life that she had been so seriously ill.
With a fever of 41 degrees Celsius, holding her felt like holding a small, burning stove.
The godfather, rarely cooking, made her a vegetable, meatball, and ginger soup.
Gu Jiao took a sip and instantly sobered up!
My head stopped buzzing, my nose stopped being stuffy, and I broke out in a cold sweat.
It's truly... an incredibly awful drink!
"It seems to be working well." The godfather said, looking at her eyes, which had gone from blank to clear. "I'll make it for you again tomorrow."
In order to avoid being poisoned by the Godfather's culinary culinary disaster a second time, she forcibly brought down her fever that night.
Even the cells in his body find his cooking skills disgusting!
The Godfather didn't let her return to the organization immediately; she recuperated in the medical ward for a full month.
In this month, she has unlocked many new skills, such as cooking, drinking, and songs from a hundred years ago.
She has a low alcohol tolerance and gets drunk after just one sip.
Even when drunk, he wouldn't stop. He held a bottle of liquor in one hand with a flourish, and stomped one foot on the table with an air of superiority: "Little Destroyer! Music!"
A cute AI voice announced, "Music will be played for you shortly."
The Godfather sat expressionlessly on the sofa, watching someone go on a drunken rampage.
The Godfather discovered by chance a year ago that the consciousness of the Destroyer had not completely dissipated. However, after experiencing the impact of the black hole and the space journey, its consciousness was in a very weak state, sometimes responsive and sometimes not.
Anyway, it works as soon as you call her name.
They even accepted the nickname she chose.
So how did she know her blood was so useful to him...? Case solved.
It's true that no matter how much you guard against it, it's hard to guard against a thief within your own family.
She sang with great passion.
With a gesture, she came to his side, staring intently at him, and in an instant switched to operatic singing: "In a land of flowers and brocade, she sings of meeting an old friend in a foreign land, each step and each line filled with longing. The audience below, having passed the imperial examinations, do not recognize the old acquaintances on stage. He speaks of the wedding night, and everyone congratulates the beautiful woman on marrying the talented man, but not a single sigh is heard, not a single word of which reveals the deep love in the play."
His acting is terrible, but he can sing quite well.
A smile that turns heads is captivating; this is the essence of beauty.
He lowered his eyes and sipped the champagne in his glass.
He has a high alcohol tolerance, but at this moment, he seemed a little drunk.
Gu Jiao looked at him with dreamy eyes: "If you go to ancient times, you will definitely be able to become the top scholar in the imperial examination, um... the top martial arts scholar! Then I will be your top scholar wife, hehehe."
She laughed like a silly little idiot.
The Godfather: Ha, he's so drunk he doesn't even know what he's saying.
Another hour passed, and Gu Jiao finally calmed down. He thought she was tired of making a fuss, so he stood up and prepared to tidy up the place.
To his surprise, she moved closer to him, put her hands behind her back, raised her flushed face, and stared at him intently: "I'll tell you a secret, I like you."
She spoke very softly, her tone slightly tinged with intoxication.
The Godfather was slightly taken aback, but said in his usual tone, "You're drunk."
An AI voice announced: "Friendly reminder: Your medical system has detected that your heart rate is too fast. Do you need emergency treatment?"
The Godfather glared fiercely at the camera on the wall.
Gu Jiao stared at him intently.
The Godfather's expression remained unchanged, still as cold as snow: "Don't forget the rules of the organization."
Gu Jiao said, "I like it secretly, so they won't find out."
The Godfather said coldly, "It's no use if you like me. There's no way I can be with you. Since you already knew, you should understand that I've been using you all along. I took the bullet for you only because I needed you to live... to save my own life someday."
In the medical pod's living room, a song suddenly began to play: "Have I hurt you with my hypocrisy? I just use harsh words to disguise my inner weakness; I'm not deliberately ignoring you."
The Godfather's face darkened.
Gu Jiao looked at him persistently: "I don't believe it."
He coldly walked past her, saying in an icy tone, "It's no use whether you believe me or not, there's no way I could ever like you."
The music inside the medical pod changed: "Oh~ Oh~ Yeah~ Yeah~ I love you but I can't say it~ I don't know what you're thinking~ Oh~ Oh~ I love you but I can't say it~"
The Godfather gritted his teeth and clenched his fists.
The Annihilator of the World!
He left the living room without looking back, leaving Gu Jiao all alone.
The Destroyer continues its self-destructive path, seamlessly switching between songs: "For all the pain of clinging to love~ For all the wounds of clinging to hate~ I can no longer distinguish between love and hate~ Is this how it is~ Blood and tears fall together~ My heart is shattered and weathered~ My trembling hands cannot stop~ I cannot forgive~"
The Godfather, having reached his limit, immediately shut down the smart mode!
Destroyer: *sniff*
...
The Godfather took a cold shower, but the heat inside him lingered.
People in the K93 galaxy have exceptionally long lifespans and a less intense genetic drive for reproduction, which makes them less prone to romantic relationships.
Furthermore, the stronger a person is, the less likely they are to fall in love.
So, did he become weaker, or did he gradually become assimilated by them after staying on this planet for too long?
He stood under the shower, the icy water droplets relentlessly drenching his muscular body.
He stands at 195 cm tall, and years of training have given him a physique that is truly breathtaking: chest muscles, eight-pack abs, V-line... everything is just right, exuding vigorous power, but not exaggerated.
Even the lines on his arms are firm and well-defined.
He spent a full hour before he finally managed to suppress the burning desire within him.
The medical pod has a water purification and recycling system, so there's no worry about wasting water resources.
However, this has taken far too long.
Is he really that unsatisfied?
Even more tragically, just as he finally calmed down, he opened the hibernation pod and found Gu Jiao asleep inside.
Is this girl so drunk that she doesn't even recognize her own hibernation pod?
"The Destroyer".
He spoke, but the AI did not respond.
He then remembered that he had turned off smart mode.
He stared intently at the young girl who was completely drunk, then lay down beside her without making a sound.
The hibernation pod is spacious enough for one person, but two people have to be very close together.
She lay on her side, her soft body pressed against his irresistibly aroused form.
He felt the strange sensation in his body and closed his eyes helplessly; that hour-long cold shower had been a waste.
Her fragrance was pervasive, like a bewitching poison that seeped into one's very bones the more one resisted it.
His delicate Adam's apple slid.
I took a deep breath and closed my eyes.
You slept in the wrong place, so don't blame me for being impolite.
He quickly sat up, stroked her soft face, and lowered his head to kiss her domineeringly.
