The middle-aged man with gray temples was sitting on a leather chair, looking out the floor-to-ceiling windows at the dazzling lights in the night with deep and complicated eyes.

"Mr. Cruise." The secretary knocked on the door outside, "Here comes the hidden butterfly."

In the room, the figure of the middle-aged man froze almost undetectably for a second, and he quickly returned to normal: "Bring him in."

The secretary got a reply, turned around and walked along the corridor to the end, quickly pressed a string of passwords on the metal number keys on the wall, and the elevator made a crisp sound.Ten seconds later, the elevator door in front of the secretary opened, and a young man came out.

The person who came was wearing a black hoodie, half of his face was covered by the half-draped hat and fine, long black hair.In addition, after opening the door, he lowered his head, so the secretary could only see the man's fair chin and bright red lips.

"Are you Yindie?"

Although he knew that the person in charge of the security check downstairs would never make a mistake in the identity of the visitor, but when he thought of Mr. Cruise's No. For young people in their early twenties at most, the secretary feels that his three views are about to collapse.

What's more, the secretary knows better than most people that Yindie is definitely not "reliant on nepotism" as some people in the organization say. Several difficult tasks on Mr. Cruise's desk over the past few years have been done by this person and It was completed by the Thorn Butterfly Alliance selected and cultivated by one hand.Even if the current Thorn Butterfly Alliance cannot catch up with those old organizations, it is still well-known in the assassin world.

For example, the "accidental deaths" of the veteran killer Parsons and his old units around the world who were attacked on Honeypool Avenue a few days ago, it is said that this young man in front of him personally planned and executed it—that is the killer After the Thorn Butterfly Alliance announced that it was responsible for the top ten powerful figures in the world, let alone outsiders, even they themselves caused quite a stir.It's just that the Thorn Butterfly Alliance is notoriously mysterious in the organization, and its leader, Yin Die, has never shown his face in front of everyone. At most, there are only phone calls between the two sides when they coordinate missions. Therefore, although everyone is curious, they don't have to decipher it.

The secretary is considered to be a relatively close person to Mr. Cruise. Apart from mission reports over the years, this is also the first time he has seen the real person behind the name "Yindie".

Originally, in his imagination, even if the other party wasn't a muscular and burly man, he should at least be tall and mighty; he never expected that when he saw a real person today, although he was more than 180 tall by visual inspection, he was weaker than he imagined Much more—just looking at those slender, white hands exposed to the outside, one would never think of the killer who committed so many crimes.

"Mr. Trull, please lead the way."

The visitor didn't answer the secretary's question at all, and his voice was slightly harsh like metal when he spoke.Trull suddenly came back to his senses, cursed and turned around first, leading the other party to Cruise's office.

Before entering the door, Trull knocked on the door: "Mr. Cruise, you are here."

"Well, you go out." Cruise, whose back was facing the door, waved his hand.

Trull bowed respectfully and left.When he went out and returned to his office next door, he suddenly remembered: Yindie... how did he know his name?

At the same time, in Cruise's office, the hood was pulled down, and Shaw raised his hand to close a small object at the neckline of the hoodie, and said to the man on the leather chair, "Uncle."

At this time, the voice was no longer harsh as before, but had become clear and pleasant.

"Did Trull recognize you?"

"No," Shaw shook his head, "I wear a voice changer."

"You are cautious enough." There was a little smile in the middle-aged man's voice, "I told you a long time ago that Trull's family background is clean, so you don't need to be wary of him, just feel free to use him, why bother? Trouble. He has met you so many times before, if he shows his identity, it will be convenient for you to handle things in the future."

"Don't worry, uncle, I'm not afraid of trouble." Shaw was noncommittal to the middle-aged man's judgment, with a smile on his face.

The middle-aged man only listened to this sentence, and knew that Shaw would definitely go his own way in the future, so he couldn't help but shook his head, as if unintentionally said: "You child, don't you trust me too?"

When Shaw heard this, his expression was terrified. The careless smile on his face before was completely restrained, and even his voice was suppressed: "Seven years ago, if there was no uncle's life-saving grace, I, Xiao Chen, would have been I don’t know where in this world there are lonely souls and wild ghosts. Uncle is the grace of rebirth to me, and my life belongs to uncle, so there is no need to talk about trust or not.”

These words were justified, and the serious expression of the young man stunned Cruise, and the complicated emotions in his eyes turned around a few times before he smiled slowly: "I have no children in my life, and I am over four years old. There are only ten more juniors like you..."

The words came out of nowhere, and Shaw looked up at the middle-aged man with some puzzlement.

Cruise didn't say much, and turned the subject around: "This time, the Mafia in the third district has paid a lot more attention to the matter of Parsons. If you are in my territory, I can naturally protect you." ; But if you insist on going to the seventh district, they will have less scruples when they start their hands."

Breaking away from the topic just now, Shaw's expression became meaningless and unrestrained again, and the thin red lips evoked a smile: "If you are in a hurry to reincarnate in the Land of Elysium, I will naturally be a good person and send them one by one. "

The young man's somewhat frivolous appearance made Cruise laugh: "You, you, I really don't know who gave you such a domineering and domineering temper."

The speaker has no intention, but the listener has the heart.The voice was light when it came out of Cruise's mouth, but it fell into Shaw's ear like a thunderbolt.

——Yeah, the nature is hard to change, even after such a catastrophe back then, even if he has learned to be double-faced and submissive now, but in the end, in the end, he still couldn’t get rid of the temperament that dared to poke a hole in the sky in his bones .It's just that the person who pampered him little by little back then couldn't stay by his side in the end; and the followers around that person pushed him into hell to be eaten by ghosts culprit.

"Do you hate him?"

Suddenly, Cruise interrupted his thoughts with a sound, and there was a complex emotion in the eyes that looked over.

Shaw grinned, with a grin on his face that made him look like Faust the bewitching—

"Hate him?... I don't hate him. Blaming, cursing, getting angry, getting angry... What's the use of these? It's just something cowards do to vent their powerlessness." He looked down at the palm flat in front of him, Then they slowly closed, as if they were holding something tightly in the palm of their hands, or as if they were about to crush something.

The corners of his lips finally stopped in a cold and wicked arc, "If you blame me, I will only make them hate me."

"... Soon, isn't it?"

Fifteen hours later, the seventh military area, the international airport.

Looking at the long-lost blue sky above his head, the young man faced the glaring sun, raised his hands to meet the sun carelessly, and smiled with his lips curled up.

Walking past him, the little girl among the mother and daughter shook her mother's hand: "Mom, that person is very beautiful, is he an angel?"

"Little fool, a beautiful person must be an angel......"

The voices of the mother and daughter floated farther and farther into Shaw's ears, Shaw curled the corners of his lips indifferently, and slowly clenched his hands facing the sky.

In the warm light, the young man smiled warmly and movingly towards the blue sky, but his eyes were frozen and he couldn't see any emotion——

"Brother, I'm back."

***

The Tang family's main manor, the main house, the lobby on the first floor.

Tang Chen cautiously sat next to the sofa dignifiedly, his eyes sneaking glances at the man on the seat from time to time.

After he returned to the Seventh Military District, his father began to ask him to come to the main house every day to "visit" his cousin who was in charge of the house.At first he didn't know the reason for doing so, until he accidentally heard his father and mother talking about Mr. Tang's wanting to retire two days ago, he didn't understand the reason - he had heard about it before returning to District [-], the family Although this majestic cousin has reached his thirties, he has never married a wife and had children, and he has not even had a lover; this has led to the fact that the patriarch has no children, and the next generation of heirs has no clue. .

If the head of the family retires now, the next heir to the family must choose one of their peers; for some reason, my father and others have high expectations for me to be the heir, obviously I am definitely not the best one among my peers .It's just that when he asked the reason, his father refused to speak, with a look of secretiveness.

In the past few days, his curiosity has become more and more serious, and he suffers from the fact that no one can understand it.And he observed by himself, and found that although Mr. Tang treated him honestly and cherished his words like gold, he didn't show any displeasure about his visit, which made him feel relieved.

It's just that there are often such silent scenes, which inevitably embarrass him.

And at times like this, Mr. Tang always has a book that looks a little old in his hand. At first, he only saw it once a day, but he has become more and more frequent in the past few days.

That day Mr. Tang was visiting because of a general of the military alliance, and the book was placed on the armrest where he often sat beside him. Tang Chen flipped through it nervously and carefully, but only saw a few paragraphs of text and photos.

Due to the panic in his heart, Tang Chen didn't pay attention to the words on it, but he remembered the ordinary-looking boy in the photo clearly.

In the past few days, he couldn't help but wonder, who is the boy in the photo in the book?What is the reason to teach Mr. Tang to sit so patiently and watch the whole afternoon?

Just as Tang Chen was thinking like this, he suddenly heard a servant outside the door knocking on the door, and a few seconds later the voice came in——

"Mr. Tang, the Great Elder is here. He said that his fiancé, who brought his granddaughter Qian Rui, came to see you."

In the lobby, Tang Yiheng was still looking at the bright smiling face of the young man in the photo in the notebook, his eyes didn't waver at all: "Come in."

After the man spoke in a low voice, the hall door opened, and Tang Chen watched curiously as two people, one old and one young, walked in.

Qian Chuwen, who was the leader, seemed to have aged a lot after not seeing him for a few days, and his eyes were a little dull. At this time, he stepped forward and saluted: "Mr. Tang, I will bring this junior to meet you, and by the way, I will discuss with you about the two juniors. wedding date."

"Sit down." The man's voice was low and calm, and he lifted his eyes from the notebook after a while, and fell on the two of them.

Then Tang Chen, who was sitting at the side, saw in astonishment that the moment the man's eyes fell on that beautiful young man, there was a monstrous wave in his eternally calm eyes.

The booklet, which was so precious to the man, fell to the ground with a "clack".
