Allen did feel lost. Lucy can be said to be the first true friend in his life. After they experienced a short but thrilling journey together, the girl has left an indelible silhouette in Alan's heart. But now, she was traveling far, and it was a lie to say that she was not sentimental. 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 really a bit big. The old man will definitely stop me. But it doesn't matter. I will definitely come to you in three years. You. Don’t let people kill them in advance."

"Just...no!" Allen's eyes gradually lit up and said, "You too, 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, and Alisa is the moon **** we worship. I will leave it to you for the time being, if there is a moon. At night, put it under the moonlight, and you can see me in the moonstone."

Lucy took Alan's hand and put the 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, the time is up."

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

"Definitely!" Allen said forcefully.

Lucy nodded, only then walked out of the theater with Metaron. Alan could still hear their conversation, and Metaron gasped as soon as he stepped out of the theater: "His Royal Highness, where are the tears of Alisa?"

"Leave it to Allen for safekeeping."

"That's the tears of Alisa!"

"Oh, just a pendant, teacher, you are so fussed."

"That is not an ordinary pendant, it is..."

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. Allen squeezed it tightly, vowing to wear it back to Lucy's neck with his own hands in three years.

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

Ellen jumped up like a rush of electricity across 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. Only then did he see that there was an old man with silver hair beside his position just now. He was wearing a well-made suit, with his hands resting quietly on his knees, 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 am 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."

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

At this time, the young man still didn't know the meaning of Bethkod, so naturally he didn't know the identity of Horne. 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 you let them know that Ellen will sit next to the old man casually, I'm afraid those people will have to live and die.

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

Alan nodded: "You're welcome."

He also heard that the participants of the death ring will 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 still 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 impressive. Point, my 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, although Tonisf also said that every victory in the death ring has a chance to be favored by certain families, but he didn't expect this invitation to come so quickly. But Allen didn't plan to join a 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, opened it, and there was a yellowed photo in it. He handed the pocket watch to Allen.

Alan 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 was shocked slightly. 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. Perhaps 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, on his face , With a painful expression: "If time can come back, maybe I should have a good talk with her, instead of removing her from the family in a fit of anger, so that she will never be able to come back to me."

"You may not understand now, how painful this is for a father." Horn looked at Alan, his eyes softened: "I thought I would never have To her news, until the beginning of this death ring, I saw you on the live show. Alan, do you know? I believe it was God’s guidance that he brought you to Babylon. So can you tell I, your mother's name, is it...Lanny?"

Alan shook his whole body again, and the pocket watch in his hand fell to the ground. He looked at Horn, short of breath, and lost his voice: "Are you... my grandfather?"

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, How is she now, how is she doing well?"

"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's my grandpa in front of me.

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 we live in. 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 left me forever."

"Predator!" Horn's eyes were open, full of energy: "Well, I will make them regret being born in this world!"

"No!" Allen jumped up and said loudly: "I will retaliate this hatred 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 stubbornness and the same persistence. You can revenge yourself, but child, do you have the power?"

"It’s not easy to find a predator. The surface is so large that the manpower and material resources to be used are definitely not what you can have now. If you want to take revenge yourself, then I suggest you go back to the family. Come back to me." Horn's voice grew louder: "I can't give you great power or rich wealth immediately, but I can pave the way for you, pave a path to the peak of power. When you become Besko During the long period of the German clan, you can use all the power of the clan to do what you want to do. You just have to remember that if you want something from the clan, you must contribute. This is what every clan leader should do Obligations."

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

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

Ellen didn't think about it for too long, he looked at the old man and said solemnly: "I do!"

Perhaps 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!
