Gene from the 13th Department of Bright City

"It's Mr. Angus's birthday today, and a lot of people came."

A pair of grandparents were watching the crowds of people on the street. Many people came with gifts. Today is Jed's 60th birthday, and Jed invited many people.

The Angus family started preparing for this banquet a month ago. Early in the morning, the town was filled with aroma, especially the aroma of some fruits.

Fruit is a luxury product in many places because it matures much slower than grain, and the yield is average, making it difficult to increase.

Most of the people who came from other towns to attend the banquet brought fruits as gifts, some of which many people had never seen in person.

More than 100 families came over, and in some towns without families, the mayors even came personally.

People from the Special Investigation Bureau are all over the streets. They are investigating many people. In the next three days, the town will be extremely lively.

Over the years, the Angus family's business has expanded to the full-scale prairie, and the Angus family has continued to grow. The entire family now has more than 500 members.

Jed's eldest son Rudy was standing outside the mayor's courtyard, receiving people who came over. He kept chatting with people. As the current patriarch of the Angus family, Rudy has doubled the size of the entire Angus family. , his ability far exceeds that of Jade.

Moreover, Rudy is in his prime, and he is also a mutant. His lifespan will be much longer than that of ordinary people. Everyone knows that the Angus family will be the king of this grassland in the future.

Su Kang stepped down from a car with heavy steps. Rudy hurried over to help him and said happily.

"Uncle Su Kang, you are here."

Su Kang nodded. Except for his bad legs and feet, he didn't have any big problems in other aspects. But Jade was different. He already had heart problems and he didn't have much time left.

Everything now is very good for the entire grassland. Many disputes in the past have stopped because people from the Special Investigation Bureau began to intervene. There have been no major incidents in the past year or two, and many people live and work in peace and contentment.

Some mountains have been dug out and new towns have been built. The territory of the Angus family is constantly expanding, and even the fortress of the Hillman family in the past has disappeared.

People are constantly reclaiming some planting land, and now there are even greenhouses and constant-temperature planting fields outdoors. Basically, there is no problem with food. Although many people still complain about the current situation, those who have had problems with family rule in the past The voices of dissent were almost inaudible.

Monica looked at everything in front of her quietly. Over the past few years, everything Allen said has come true. People no longer seek rights or more benefits. They work for capital every day like cattle and horses.

Capital is like a huge monster that keeps gathering. Now the power of capital is extremely huge. Monica hates this very much, even the best Angus family and Su family in all towns.

Monica smoked quietly. She did not join the crowd. Some people came over to say hello, but she just smiled and said that over the years, the work of their Special Investigation Bureau has basically helped the family stabilize their family. cause.

Many young people don’t even know the past situation of this grassland, and few people will take the initiative to mention it. This is also related to school education, because the family has taken control of everything, so those things about the past in education have gradually disappeared. .

History has been tied to the family, and in some places, the word God has been eliminated. It is the family members who lead everyone through the difficulties, clean up all the chaos, and then build a refuge for mankind.

The gods have begun to disappear among the people. Although the older generation will mention it, the young people do not believe it at all because the gods have not visited this land for too many years.

Monica persuaded Jean and the others to at least show their faces on the grassland. However, Jean and the others were basically staying at home. It seemed that the research had reached a very critical stage.

If you want to clean up everything, you must have the gods come forward. Human beings will only obey absolute power, and the gods have such power.

Monica stared at everyone who entered the mayor's courtyard, confirming their identity. After so many years, there was still no news from the Hillman family.

Monica has been to the ruined city several times, but she has not seen Allen throughout the city. She doesn't know what the man wants to do.

Jed is still talking about the Hillman family, but Monica now talks to Jed from time to time.

At this time Rudy came over and asked.

"Miss Monica, would you like to go in and have a drink first?"

Monica threw the panel in her hand to Rudy.

"I'm going to talk to your dad."

After speaking, Monica walked in, and Rudy bowed slightly with respect.

After a while, Monica came directly to Jade's room. Jade was lying on the bed next to a medical machine and several nurses taking care of it. Monica asked them to go out first and then sat beside the bed. Jade took out the cigarette and stared at her.

"Don't smoke in there, I'm not in good health."

Monica walked over and opened the window, lit one and sat directly on the window sill.

"Really, you guy."

Jed said angrily, and then sat up. He was in good spirits today. In fact, Jed had another purpose for the long-awaited birthday party. He knew that he didn't have much time left, so he had to do everything possible to be nice to others. Talk.

"You invited so many people here because you probably want to talk to them about building a legal system."

Jade nodded and Monica laughed and said.

"It's very difficult. No one will listen to the nagging of a bad old man like you. I advise you to forget it. Why make a good birthday party so heavy?"

Jed asked with a solemn expression.

"So what do you think?"

"I am very tired these years, and we have worked for your family for so many years, and we have done our best."

Jade stood up and coughed a few times before coming to Monica's side.

"Why don't you make a small contribution?"

Monica laughed.

"Why should I make any bullshit contribution to strangers? As long as I can fight crime now, other than that, others can do it."

Jed sighed helplessly. He looked at Monica, slightly sad.

"Obviously with such a good body, so much time, and such powerful power, Monica, if this land wants to be peaceful in the future, there must be an institution that can deter and control the family. , I hope you can establish such an institution.”

Monica laughed and shook her head.

"Let your son do it."

Jade shook his head.

"It has to be you, Monica. Everyone in the family at least obeys you, and there is no mutant more powerful than you in this land."

Jade knows that even 100 S-class mutants are no match for Monica alone. Her powerful strength can break everything, and such a thing must be done by someone who has traveled all over the town for so many years. It's up to Monica to do it.

"As long as you are willing to set up such an organization, I will provide you with the manpower. As long as it is approved by the gods, it must at least control the family. Otherwise, there will be big problems one day in the future."

Monica blew out a puff of smoke softly, then chuckled.

"I say again, it's impossible for me to do this, and this kind of thing is very complicated and very tiring. I don't want to be so tired. Why don't you go to that Kramer guy?"

Jade shook his head.

"Kramer has become more and more moderate over the years. He has begun to become corrupt. He is close to many people in the family."

Jade looked at Monica worriedly, but Monica remained unmoved.

"Okay, go back and lie down quickly. You will have to meet many guests later."

After saying that, Monica jumped directly from the window. Jade really hoped to see Gene before he died, at least to let Gene move, but it was obvious that Gene was unwilling to see him because Jade had already applied. Many times, but Gene never responded.

Now Jade can only rely on Monica, but unfortunately Monica is not willing to take on such a burden.

At this time, there was a creaking sound, and the room door closed automatically. Jed suddenly felt something strange. He pulled out the pistol from his waist, but soon he felt that he could not speak, that he had lost control of his body, and that he was a mutant.

Red particles were exuding in the air, and Jed watched with some confusion as an invisible silhouette emerged little by little. With the same faint smile as before, and the old suit, Allen appeared in front of him.

"If I want to kill you, I can do it at any time, Jade. I want to have a good chat with you. After all, you are already dead."

After Jade nodded, Allen stopped using telekinesis.

"You still haven't changed, but your hair is a lot grayer."

Allen was still the same as before. Jade limped to the bed and lay down. Allen took out a small golden object from his pocket, which was a carved longevity word with the number 60 underneath.

"Happy birthday."

Allen put down the ten-centimeter ornament. When Jade picked it up, he found that it was very heavy.

"It's pure gold."

After Jade put it down, his eyes looked helpless. He didn't know what Allen was thinking.

"I'm just here to wish you a happy birthday, Jade. I have no other intentions, and I also want to talk to you."

Jade closed his eyes and nodded. He really wanted to talk to Allen.

"It's really been a long time. It's been more than 30 years, almost 40 years, Jade."

Jade hummed.

"What exactly do you want to do?"

Allen laughed and said.

"No matter what I do, nothing will change, right?"

Jade looked solemn, and Allen walked over and covered him with the quilt.

"This is the last time we meet. You should still be thinking about what I want to do, right?"

Jade hummed and Allen said with a smile.

"I'll just tell you what I want to do."

Jed looked at Allen seriously, and Allen said with a smile.

"I've said it before, becoming the king of this land is my ultimate goal."

Jade smiled helplessly.

"Perhaps you haven't been out for a long time, and you got a lot of information. Do you think it is credible?"

Jed sat up immediately.

"What's the meaning?"

Allen said with a smile.

"Literally speaking, it is true that people from the Special Investigation Bureau have dealt with many family disputes, but only a small part or between big families. But what about those scattered small families? No one cares about it. Many small families We have joined forces and are ready to do something big."

"Really?"

Jade asked, and Allen smiled and pointed into the distance.

"You should know after a while that the war has begun."

"Did you instigate it?"

Allen shook his head.

"I didn't do anything. Our Hillman family has been hiding underground for these years, accumulating strength and never showing up."

Jed asked immediately.

"What on earth are you going to do?"

"I think I have made it very clear just now, Jed. Well, the small talk is over. The purpose of my coming today is for cooperation. If you are willing, we can continue to talk about the future relationship between the two families. Cooperation, if you are not willing, I will leave now."

Jed stared blankly at Allen, who had begun to disappear, and shook his head.

"I won't cooperate with you."

squeak

The door to the room opened, and a breeze blew by. Jade knew that Allen had left. After a while, several nurses came in and began to check Jade's physical condition. Jade was in good health today. He started to get dressed and planned to go there. Go to the hall to meet guests.

After a while, Jed came to the hall and looked at the piles of gifts. Many people came over to congratulate them. Jed smiled and talked with them.

Rich food has been prepared in the hall, and several sons and daughters are greeting the guests. Jed feels a little sad now, because he can't see the future, and he doesn't know where the Angus family can go. .

Many times, Jed really wanted to become a mutant so that he could watch his family go away for a long time, but Jed knew that his time was really running out, and his heart would tighten from time to time, and then start to twist.

Although Jade had undergone surgery and took special medicines, his body was no longer able to support him any longer.

Jade saw Su Kang, and then he walked over, and the two shook hands happily.

"Did something happen?"

The two found a quiet corner to sit down, and Su Kang asked directly.

Jade thought for a moment and told Su Kang what he was thinking, and Su Kang laughed.

"It's probably impossible for that girl Monica to do this. And is Allen really here?"

Jade nodded, and Su Kang smiled nostalgically.

"I really want to have a drink with that guy, even though he's an absolute asshole."

Jed took Su Kang's hand and said.

"If it doesn't work, we will use the strength of our two families to establish this organization. What do you think?"

Su Kangsi said after a moment.

"This will start a war in advance and there is nothing we can do now."
