The Floating Clouds of Valia

Samuel took advantage of the moonlight to sneak out of the room, being very careful not to disturb anyone.His physical recovery this year is not the best, but his stealth is definitely the best.This stealth technique was found from the employer's collection during a mission. This is a proper reward for his protection. It is said that it was found from an ancient tomb, but it looked very new and was considered a fake, so it was given to the employer. As a gift.This made it easier for Samuel, because of this stealth technique, Samuel was called an assassin.

Samuel crawled out of his bedroom window like a night owl.Samuel was glad that this was only the second floor, otherwise it would be useless even if he went up to the roof, as expected, he was too young and his physical strength was flawed!Samuel was lightly hanging upside down in front of the window of the study, just as the curtains were thick, and the people inside didn’t even turn on the lights in order not to attract attention, and only lit dim candles, the dim candlelight flickered.Through the gap in the curtain, Samuel overheard the conversation inside. As for who the speaker was, it didn't matter to Samuel at all, since he recognized his grandfather's voice anyway.

"Has it appeared?" An old and mellow voice, Samuel recognized it as Grandpa.

"Yes, sir, it has appeared." This is a middle-aged man.

"Are they just refusing to let us go?" Grandpa sighed in a weary voice.

"Master..." The middle-aged man was a little at a loss.

"My son, my daughter-in-law... were killed by them, why didn't they let us go?" Grandpa's voice was full of grief and hatred.Samuel suddenly thought of the gentle mother and kind father in his body memory, and the feelings in his heart were beyond words.In addition to this, there is also a hatred for the unknown family that grandpa said.The emotion was foreign, but Samuel wasn't disgusted.

"Costa (Conti), what are they going to do to let us go?" Grandpa's voice was a little excited, and Samuel raised his eyebrows.

"Why don't we just give that treasure to Costa?" The middle-aged man hesitated a little tentatively.Samuel frowned. There seemed to be something wrong with this person.

"No way! If we give it to them, we will have no chance of survival." Grandpa was very firm.

"...Yes, master." The middle-aged man said respectfully.But Samuel was keenly aware of a trace of dissatisfaction and disapproval.Perhaps it was because Samuel didn't know this person that he could feel this, but Grandpa trusted him so much that he didn't notice it.

"Well, you go down first." Grandpa suddenly said to the middle-aged man.Samuel felt very strange, why did he stop in the middle of talking.

"Yes." Then came the sound of closing the door.

Just when Samuel wanted to go back to the room, Grandpa suddenly said: "Samuel, come in!" Samuel was surprised, had he been found?Samuel hesitated for a moment, then jumped in from the window, his figure was light and swift, and he made no sound.A light flashed in Grandpa's eyes, although it was fleeting, Samuel still saw it.

"Grandpa." Samuel stood in front of Grandpa calmly.Now that you've been discovered, you don't need to pretend, Samuel thought, at worst, just run away.

"Samuel has grown up~" Grandpa's face was full of relief.Seeing Grandpa's expression, Samuel resisted the twitching of the corners of his eyes.You ignorant child has finally made progress. What does grandpa's expression of relief mean? Samuel complained in his heart.

"...Samuel is not a child at all." Not a child of two or three years old...I am 4 years old now, and all the gods and horses in my previous life were clouds. I am not an old monster, I am not~~~ ~~(>_<)~~~~Samuel is decisive in this weird atmosphere. .Tsundere.

"Ahem.. That's right, Samuel is not a child anymore." Grandpa's expression was full of smiles, which was completely different from the serious expression just now. He was obviously amused by Samuel's arrogant look.

"... Is there something for Grandpa?" Samuel regained his senses in an instant and realized that he had been arrogant just now, so he hid his face in his heart.Then quickly change the subject, as for the success or not, just look at Grandpa Samuel's smiling face.

"Samuel, since you have heard it, let me tell you about this so-called precious grandpa." Grandpa put away his smile and said seriously.

"Okay, grandpa." Samuel also recovered his indifferent expression.

"Your father got this thing by chance." Grandpa said slowly after looking at the earrings Samuel was wearing.Samuel listened silently, analyzing various possibilities.

"It was obtained from a dilapidated aristocratic family that has been passed down for many years. The last generation of that family is a mediocre and weak person. In order to continue to keep the family alive, so I gave this to your father so that I can live on. Survived in the world. But it is strange, almost the day after this thing was given to your father, their family died in the fire, and no one survived." Grandpa recalled this story with a trace of nostalgia on his face.

"Your father's nature is too merciful, and he is not suitable for the world of the mafia. So I have always placed my expectations on the next generation, that is, you. However, perhaps because of the mole in the family, more than a year ago, you His parents died. He died in a seemingly perfect accident, and there is no evidence left. And the mole has never been found." Speaking of grandpa, it seems that there are tears and some resentment towards the mole.It is a great tragedy in life for a white-haired person to send a black-haired person.

Grandpa wiped his tears and continued: "That earring of yours is actually only half. I didn't want to give it to you too early, but I don't know why, but I have an ominous premonition in my heart, so I decided to give it to you first." He took out a special crystal and handed it to Samuel, and Samuel took it with a delicate expression, even with some caution.No one knew that Samuel had seen this thing in his previous life. It was the same thing as this one that Samuel saw in a mission in his previous life.Although the colors are different, the feeling is the same.Second Samuel also knew the usefulness and usage of this thing at this time.This is actually the key.

"You put it away, this may be a very important thing! Otherwise, the Costa family would not attack the family again and again just to get this. Although I don't know what it is useful for." Grandpa said of Costa He paused for a moment, then continued speaking as if nothing had happened.

"I see." Samuel's expression was somewhat obscure under the candlelight.
