Chapter 488 - Too Heartbreaking

Sheng Xiao stared at the bus that was returning to the Prosperous Capital. He was stunned for a moment before he smiled.

Yu Huang had arrived beside him at some point. She also saw the person who had jumped into the bus without hesitation. “In front of survival and his daughter, he chose his daughter.”

Sheng Xiao nodded. “Yes, perhaps he was once weak and afraid. But from the moment he jumped into the bus, he became his daughter’s superhero.”

“Yes.”

The bus quickly stopped at the Mayor Manor.

The man jumped out of the car and was about to run home when he saw the staff of the Mayor Manor leading a few children into the Mayor Manor. The man stopped the staff and saw a Scholar’s medal on his shoulder. He hurriedly asked respectfully, “Scholar, may I ask if all the children have been brought to the Mayor Manor?”

The Scholar said, “No, only children who are abandoned by their families and have no one to take care of them will be sent to the Mayor Manor.”

The man was stunned for a moment before running into the Mayor Manor.

Under the staff’s explanation, the man went straight to the activity building. He walked into the activity building and saw that the room was filled with homeless children abandoned by their parents, including even small babies. He immediately raised his right hand and slapped himself hard.

The man shouted from the first floor, “Yue Yue! Lin Xinyue! Where are you? Daddy is back!”

“Yue Yue! Yue Yue! Daddy is back!”

The children in the room looked at him with lifeless gazes.

The man shouted a few times, but he didn’t hear his daughter’s cry.

Could it be that his daughter was dead?

The man knelt on the ground and covered his face while crying.

At that moment, a boy in his early teens patted the man on the back.

The man raised his tearful face and saw the boy pointing upstairs. The boy said, “There are still seriously ill children on the second and third floors. Perhaps, your child is upstairs.”

“Thank you! Thank you!”

The man staggered into the elevator and found his way to the third floor.

“Yue Yue!”

“Yue Yue! Daddy is back! Daddy is back to accompany you!”

Upon hearing her father’s voice, the little girl lying in Lu Yubei’s arms suddenly moved her head. “Father…” The little girl struggled to open her eyes and said to the mayor,” Sir, I think… I think I hear my father’s voice… ”

Lu Yubei looked up at the man who had run back in a sorry state. He carried Yue Yue and stood up. He walked to the man’s side and revealed the little girl’s face. “Is she your daughter?”

The man stared at the little girl’s palm-sized face and immediately burst into tears. “Yue Yue, Daddy is here!” The man gently took the little daughter in Lu Yubei’s arms. The little girl opened her eyes and really saw her father. She finally cried.

“Dad!”

The little girl pursed her lips and said aggrievedly, “I thought you didn’t want me anymore.”

The man hugged his daughter and knelt on the ground while crying bitterly. “I was a bastard. I was a coward. I almost lost my little angel! I will accompany you. Let’s die together.”

Yue Yue smiled again. “Okay.”

The sick children in the room opened their eyes weakly and looked at Yue Yue and her father enviously.

If her father was back, would their parents still come back? The morning sun shone on the streets of the Prosperous Capital.

Usually, at this time, the roads of the Prosperous Capital would be blocked by all kinds of cars. However, today, the streets of the Prosperous Capital were empty.

On the street, only stray cats and dogs and tramps were searching for food.

In the house, those who were infected were about to die.

In a villa.

Jiang Shangfeng was holding a hoe and squatting in the courtyard with his father-in-law to make a crib.

Both of them looked haggard, especially Mr. West. He was older and his condition had worsened quickly after he was infected. At that moment, Mr. West couldn’t even raise his hoe. He could only sit and talk to Jiang Shangfeng.

After Jiang Shangfeng nailed the last wooden board on the crib, he put down the hoe and sat in the courtyard. He looked up at the blue sky and suddenly said, “Vivian should have arrived in Jingdu safely.”

Mr. West nodded. “Have you two ever named the child?”

Jiang Shangfeng shook his head. “We didn’t have time.”

Mr. West shook his head with emotion. He said, “This disaster came too quickly. I’m afraid we won’t be able to see the child. Why don’t you let me, his grandfather, give him a name?”

“Okay.”

Mr. West thought for a moment before saying, “Why don’t we call the child Jiang Taiping?”

May the world be peaceful and less miserable.

This name was very down-to-earth, but full of high hopes.

Jiang Shangfeng smiled and said, “Okay.”

Jiang Shangfeng picked up a brush and wrote on the head of the crib—

[Jiang Taiping’s exclusive small bed].

After writing, the brush in Jiang Shangfeng’s hand fell to the ground. He suddenly knelt on the ground and vomited.

It was a feeling. He felt like he was about to spit out all his internal organs. It was very painful and smelly.

After Jiang Shangfeng finished vomiting, he laid on the ground and looked at the clear blue sky.

Vivian.

Goodbye, my love.

…

Buzz buzz buzz—

Buzz buzz buzz—

At this moment, a huge aircraft with the words “Alliance Headquarters” on it suddenly flew past the Prosperous Capital and stopped above the People’s Square.

The aircraft circled in the sky and landed.

After the aircraft stabilized, a group of people in Beast Tamer uniforms and Beast Tamer medals on their shoulders walked out of the aircraft.

Lu Yubei sensed that powerhouses were approaching and immediately flew to the sky above the Mayor Manor.

It was actually an aircraft from the Alliance headquarters. Lu Yubei immediately flew towards the People’s Square.

The square was filled with Beast Tamers.

The president of the alliance, Sheng Lingfeng, the Divine Moon Empire’s Grand State Master, Mo Xiao, the old dean of the Divine Realm Academy, Di Ruofeng, and the merman race’s Prime Emperor Dino.

Almost all the experts on the continent had arrived in the Prosperous Capital.

When Lu Yubei saw that there were many experts gathered, his heart raced and hope appeared in his eyes.

Could it be that the Prosperous Capital was saved?

On the distant dock, Yu Huang noticed the arrival of the aircraft. However, she didn’t heave a sigh of relief. Instead, she became even sadder.

Sheng Xiao saw that everyone from the Alliance Headquarters had come to the Prosperous Capital. He said, “Everyone from the Alliance is here. Perhaps they have thought of a way to resolve the Death Curse.” Sheng Xiao didn’t hear Yu Huang’s answer. He turned to look at her and realized that her beautiful face was filled with sorrow.

“Wine, what are you sad about?”

Yu Huang muttered to herself, “No wonder Foster Father said that being able to predict the future was never something to brag about, but something heartbreaking…”

The feeling of knowing that it would happen but being unable to stop it, let alone change the outcome, was really too heartbreaking.
