Chapter 304 Sokovia's Brother and Sister

The world is facing changes, whether it is Earth or Asgard, they must be prepared to face powerful enemies beyond the star sea.

The curtain of peace has been lifted, and the wind of the new era is whistling. Some people have heard it, but some people have not yet awakened.

The rumbling wheels are moving slowly. As for where it will go, no one can say for sure. We can only wait for the arrival of change with anticipation or apprehension.

Sokovia, like most small countries in Eastern Europe, has political turmoil, economic collapse, polarization between the upper class and civilians, sharp conflicts, and large-scale demonstrations often break out.

The brother and sister of the Maximov family lived in such a country. Before they were ten years old, they felt warm and happy, and did not care at all that they were born in a poor family without expensive car toys and exquisite dolls.

That day was no different from usual. The Maximov family of four sat at the dining table and enjoyed a delicious, not rich dinner. However, the nightmare came silently.

The warlord leaders on the outskirts of the city finally couldn't suppress their ambitions for power and began to seize power by force. Sokovia was in chaos, with fierce conflicts between government forces and private armed forces. The artillery roared and the hail of bullets rained down. The war enveloped everyone in an instant.

The Maximov family was not spared. The first shell flew over and smashed a large hole in the floor of the two floors below. Their parents fell in, and then the whole house began to collapse. Pietro grabbed the sister first. Wanda, the two of them rolled under the bed, and then the second shell fell, among the rubble and ruins.

The cannonball that did not detonate was only one meter away from the Maximov brothers and sisters. Pietro hugged his sister Wanda tightly. The young brother and sister were lonely and helpless waiting for death.

They were trapped for two days, hunger, thirst, and fear all over their bodies. The two little guys didn't even dare to move, fearing that any slight movement would cause the shell to detonate.

It was two long and terrible days, and the shadow of death loomed over their heads and sneered at them.

Until the war subsided, the warlord leader got his wish and sat on the throne of the leader. He swore in front of the revolutionary statue that he would sacrifice everything and burn his life for the people of Sokovia.

Half a year later, the leader of the warlord was overthrown by the angry people, and his body was hung under the revolutionary statue in the center of the city. The irony of fate is so poignant that it makes people smile.

In this farce-like regime change, no one will remember the collapse of the Maximov family. The poor brother and sister were sent to a public orphanage. They no longer have parents and can only depend on each other. Friendly world to survive.

"Wanda, we are barely able to live on our own, the food in the store is getting more and more expensive, and the relief money issued by the government has never been received since the age of 16..."

Pietro is like a chattering woman, born twelve minutes before his sister Wanda, and occasionally plays the role of mother.

As for why not the father?Wanda teased Pietro as "Mom" because he was so nagging.

"I work part-time in a supermarket, and the purchase price of those vegetables and fruits has increased again. The big fat manager complained that the economy of this country is in a mess, and he plans to strike to participate in the parade."

Pietro picked out a few fresh tomatoes and threw them into his sister's paper bag, while muttering to himself, while Wanda put on an obedient look.

"I don't understand why you brought that idiot back, he can't even remember his name, and he can't even speak!"

The elder brother Pietro asked in confusion, looked around, and secretly stuffed a pound of beef into his clothes. The security guard in the monitoring room was his buddy, so he just brought a few bottles of whiskey to those guys.

"He's not a fool." Wanda retorted dissatisfiedly. "Sean just lost his memory temporarily, he fell from a very high place."

"Sean? Is that his name?" Pietro asked with a frown.

"Maybe. He was watching the second part of your favorite The Godfather yesterday, and suddenly had a conversation with him." Wanda stuck out her tongue.

The reason why she saved the man of unknown origin was not purely out of sheer kindness.

After Wanda got off work from the bar that day, she was entangled by a group of hooligans who dressed like hippies, and fled to the abandoned factory in a hurry. If the other party hadn't "appeared" suddenly and knocked down the group of people, she might have encountered a terrible disaster. nightmare.

"What? You let that guy touch my favorite Godfather Collector's Edition DVD!"

Pietro almost ran away. In his eyes, the young boy brought back by Wanda has threatened their peaceful life.

The brother and sister were noisy, and after buying daily necessities from the supermarket, they returned to their home on the edge of the city - a dilapidated old house standing next to an abandoned factory.

Since they left the orphanage at the age of 16, they began to live alone. At the beginning, of course, it was extremely difficult. Pietro worked as an apprentice in a factory, and occasionally came to the supermarket to do odd jobs, while Wanda worked as a waiter in a bar. Life began to improve gradually.

In the dilapidated old house, the movie dialogue echoed, the mother who lost her husband bowed to the mafia boss, and there was a child by her side.

"He's still weak and won't hurt anyone."

"He's going to get stronger when he grows up."

"Don't be afraid, little children have no influence on you."

"When he's a man he'll take revenge."

"..."

The young man sat quietly on the sofa, watching this classic collaboration between Robert De Niro and Al Pacino, the stories of the first and second godfathers are intertwined, even after an era, still Won't fade half a cent.

He's Sean Sipers.

When a young man opens his eyes and such a memory emerges in his mind, other information is like a frozen iceberg, most of which are buried under the vast ocean. This is not a symptom of amnesia. It is called "self-defense mechanism " is more appropriate.

Although he didn't know what happened, it was obvious that before he woke up, he encountered an extremely abnormal experience, which brought a strong stimulus to the brain, so that part of the memory was automatically sealed.

Once I recall it carefully, I can only remember the scene of the doomsday when the lava erupted and the earth's center shook under the strong light, which made people feel lingering fear.

In the terrible scene of natural disasters, a black figure stood like a demon god, and his cloak fluttered like a flag. It was an impression that was deeply imprinted in my mind, and it was hard to remember before.

Whenever night falls and he falls into a deep sleep, endless darkness surrounds him, flickering lights and shadows swirl and flicker, and a yellow gemstone emits a glimmer of light, in which there are strange lights and illusions.

For everything that happened, Sean didn't panic, and his heart was peaceful. Sooner or later, he would get back his things, it was only a matter of time.There is no reason for this certainty, but it is convincing.

According to the information provided by Wanda, he seemed to have fallen from a high altitude, knocked down a few street punks, and was then brought back home by her so that he would not end up on the street.

Sokovia.When the name of this country came out, the huge iceberg in my mind trembled, and a long piece of information jumped out.

His head is like a search engine. When keywords appear, relevant content will actively emerge, and Sokovia seems to occupy an important position in the future trajectory.

While Sean was thinking to himself, dense snowflakes flickered suddenly on the TV screen showing Godfather, and a mechanized cold voice came from it——

"Sir, welcome back."
