"Elder, I have no right to comment on whether what you did was right or wrong, but the Dragon Dance Association will probably face a severe test because of this. Of course, I don't care about that. What I care about is Xiaoyue. If Xiaoyue is hurt in the slightest, I think there will be countless more souls lost in the world. Do you understand what I'm saying?" Li Jia sighed inwardly and slowly spoke out what she was thinking. At the same time, a thought also rose in Li Jia's mind.
“Miss…” When Ma Bin heard Li Jia mention Xiaoyue, a glimmer of light appeared on his gloomy face. He had become like this because of his own daughter’s death. “If…then…”
“Li Jia, I have a request. Although I know it’s absurd, I still want to ask.” Ma Bin paused here, looking at Li Jia with anticipation.
"Xiaoyue?" Li Jia asked. Ma Bin immediately nodded vigorously. Li Jia thought so too; after all, Ma Bin was just a pitiful person.
“How about this, you settle things with the Hanmoli family, and I’ll have Xiaoyue recognize you as her godfather.” Li Jia said, looking at Ma Bin with an expression that left no room for negotiation.
"Really? Li Jia! Are you serious?" Li Jia felt a pang of emotion at the excitement on Ma Bin's face, and then nodded. "It's true, provided that the Hanmoli family's affairs are dealt with properly."
"Okay! Okay! I will definitely handle this matter properly! So... where do we go now?" Ma Bin had new hope, and his eyes gradually brightened. He spoke to Li Jia with great excitement.
Li Jia had just sensed that Ma Bin had suicidal thoughts. She had seen that kind of despair many times. It was this accidental decision that gave the Dragon Dance Club an absolutely powerful navigator for its future development and expansion. At the same time, Xiao Yue was also happy to have a relative, which somewhat made up for the regret of never having met her biological parents since childhood.
“Go back to Florence. The car is waiting at the foot of the mountain. Remember what you said. I let you go this time because you took a bullet for Xiaoyue. There won’t be a second time. I believe you should understand that for me now, killing is as simple as breathing.” After Li Jia finished speaking, she stood up and walked out of the cave. Ma Bin followed her out immediately.
The rain had stopped, and slivers of sunlight were breaking through the gaps in the dense clouds. As Li Jia and Ma Bin arrived at the road at the foot of the mountain, the sunlight finally pierced through the clouds, and the post-rain twilight, set against the backdrop of the Apennine Mountains, was exceptionally beautiful.
"Master, how long did it take you?" As soon as Hei Jieke saw Li Jia bring Ma Bin back, he immediately went up to them and asked with a big smile.
"Nineteen minutes and fifty-nine seconds." After Li Jia finished speaking, she raised the watch in her hand and waved it in front of the black Czech. "Get in the car, we probably won't get back to Florence until midnight!" After Li Jia finished speaking, she opened the car door. In the car seat, Ma Bin saw Da Gang, who was acting as the driver. His face darkened for a moment, but then he returned to normal. In his heart, he was greatly surprised by Li Jia's planning ability.
"Elder, there's no need to look anymore. He's an old friend of yours. If you really do end up making a move against Xiaoyue, I think he'll be the last face you see before you die." Li Jia said as she got into the car, noticing the Elder's constant staring at Da Gang's back.
“His back looks so familiar, but… this can’t be right?” Ma Bin stared at Da Gang’s back and a figure suddenly appeared in his mind, but then he shook his head. That person was dead and couldn’t possibly be here.
"Hehe, you guessed right, let's drive, Xiao Long!" As soon as Li Jia finished speaking, the Grand Elder's face was covered in sweat. "Xiao...Xiao Long...it really is Xiao Long..."
