On the highway, the Ten Judges of The Dead—who were wearing black clothes, black armor, black boots, and blood-red cloaks—sped toward Los Angeles on their 600cc motorcycles at high speed.
“Reporting the latest information!”
“Mr. Nicholson has hung the black Hades Sword up in L.A.!”
“Additionally, he has also personally ordered for smoke signals to be lit in L.A.!”
As the smoke signals rose, the world looked to the north!
For Hades to hang the black Hades Sword up and light the smoke signal, everyone knew that Mr. Nicholson… must be terribly enraged!
This wasn’t just a warning; Heller was announcing to everyone that this was war!
Hundreds of thousands of troops began to assemble!
The Ten Judges of The Dead sped up again and rushed madly to Los Angeles!
At the same time.
Several helicopters suddenly appeared in the sky.
“Subjects suspected to be the Ten Judges of The Dead discovered!”
“Targets verified! It’s the most powerful Ten Judges of The Dead under Mr. Nicholson’s command!”
“Follow them!”
“If we follow them, we’ll definitely find Mr. Nicholson!”
“Yes, sir!”
…
In the south of Los Angeles.
Nelly was sobbing silently.
Sebastian ordered coldly, “Heller will arrive very soon! Get all the direct descendants of the Zoffs here now!”
“This time, I’ll definitely kill Heller! I want Heller’s entire family dead!”
“I want the entire L.A. to know that the Zoffs are invincible!”
“The Zoffs are invincible!”
“The Zoffs are invincible!”
Deafening roars resounded across the night sky as though a tsunami was raging!
Sebastian turned and glanced at Nelly. He laughed sinisterly and said, “Go on and cry! Keep on crying! Cry as loudly as you want! The louder you cry, the happier I’ll be!”
“Go on, cry! Why aren’t you crying?”
A crazed-looking Sebastian raised the steel pipe and struck Nelly repeatedly as he shouted, “Come on, cry!”
“Ahh!!”
“No! Don’t beat Nelly!”
“It hurts! Nelly hurts!”
Cold, icy rain fell from the sky onto them.
Sebastian was just like a demon in the rain as he kept raising the steel pipe in his hand against Nelly, who wasn’t even four years old.
There was no way Nelly, who hadn’t recovered from her grievous injuries, could endure such attacks.
She curled up on the ground in the rain. Her eyes were blank and empty, and they gradually began to lose focus.
“Mommy… You said that people will see the person they wish to see the most when they’re about to go to heaven…”
“Mommy… Nelly can see Daddy… Nelly can really see Daddy…”
“Will Nelly… be able to see Daddy once she dies?”
“Nelly wants to see Daddy so much…”
“Daddy…”
Nelly’s vision started to blur, and an abnormal smile began to form on her pretty little face.
At the same time.
The old man lying in a pool of blood gradually regained consciousness as icy-cold rainwater splattered against his cheeks.
Then, he saw Nelly. She was being beaten up!
“No! Don’t beat Nelly!”
“Don’t!”
An unimaginable strength suddenly burst forth from the weak and frail old man.
He was bruised and battered all over and on the verge of death, yet upon seeing Nelly being abused, he forced himself to get up!
He dived over and put his arms around Nelly, shielding her under his body and protecting her.
“Don’t hit Nelly!”
“She’s still a child! She isn’t even four years old yet!”
Sebastian grinned sinisterly and said, “A child? So what even if she’s a child? She’s Heller’s daughter! I’m going to kill this little bitch!”
“Get lost!”
“Very well! Let’s see how long an old fogey like you can endure this!”
Sebastian raised the steel pipe in his hand once again!
The old man stubbornly protected Nelly and took all the blows on his back for her.
“Be good, Nelly! Don’t be scared!”
“Nelly’s the strongest girl ever! Don’t sleep, Nelly. You mustn’t go to sleep!”
“Wake up, Nelly! Wake up!”
Rainwater and the old man’s blood and tears mixed together and dripped onto Nelly’s cheeks.
Because life was hard for her, Nelly had been a sensible child since she was a baby. She was just like a weed. Perhaps some would think that anyone could trample on weeds at will and that they were far less dazzling and less worthy of love and appreciation than the flowers not far away.
But…
People often forget that while flowers wilt and wither quickly, weeds continue to live on tenaciously!
A weed’s vitality was the most tenacious of all!
Not to mention, Nelly had inherited Heller’s genes!
Thus, as the old man called out to her, Nelly actually miraculously slowly regained consciousness again.
With great difficulty, she lifted her little arm and gently wiped the tears from the corners of the old man’s eyes. She forced an awfully difficult smile and whispered, “Don’t cry… Grandpa…”
The old man cried with joy.
But it was at this moment that he suddenly froze!
Splurt!
An enraged Sebastian had a sinister look all over his countenance.
“Old fogey!”
“Aren’t you quite the hardy fellow?”
“Let’s see whether you’ll survive this or not?!”
Sebastian raised the steel pipe and ruthlessly plunged it into the old man from behind!
The old man was stiff all over, but he didn’t have the luxury of caring about his imminent death—the only thing in his eyes was Nelly!
“Nelly… Be good…”
“Nelly, you must stay strong!”
“Mommy will come for you! Daddy will also come and save you!”
“You don’t know this yet, right? Nelly, your father… He’s back!”
The old man was clearly bleeding and he was clearly on the brink of death, yet he was still smiling!
He was really very old. His face, full of the vicissitudes of life, was covered in wrinkles, and his hands were also covered with various cuts and calluses.
But when he looked at Nelly, his expression was full of kindness.
When he touched Nelly, his touch was gentle and comforting.
Nelly stared at the old man. She was stunned! Stupefied! Taken aback! Dazed!
“Feh!”
Sebastian spat at the old man and sneered, “How dare you protect Heller’s little bastard. You’re just seeking your own death!”
At this point, Tyler ran toward him and said gravely, “Uncle Sebastian, Heller’s here!”
Sebastian’s eyes narrowed. “How many of them are there?”
“Two!”
“Just two?!”
…
Drip! Drip! Drip!
On the rainy night, Heller slowly arrived. Beside him was Lindsey, dressed in all white. She turned a blind eye to the rain falling on her and held an umbrella up for Heller instead, trying her best to ensure that not even a single raindrop landed on him.
As Sebastian looked at Heller, his visage began to contort and he said sinisterly, “It’s been five years, Heller! So, you finally dare to come out into the open, you loser!”
“I told you to gather your men, but in the end, you actually came just like that?”
“Do you not understand English?!”
Heller ignored Sebastian. All he could see now was his daughter!”
The old man exhausted his last bit of strength and glanced at Heller. Then, he whispered to Nelly, “Your father has come, Nelly. Grandpa… can leave without worry now…”
“You have to listen to your parents and take care of yourself from now on…”
“Grandpa will visit you again in his next life…”
The old man slowly closed his eyes.
Sebastian had pinned his body to the ground with a steel pipe, and his arms hung weakly at his sides.
Nelly cupped the old man’s face in her hands as she trembled all over and cried her eyes out.
“No!”
“No! Nelly doesn’t want Grandpa to die!”
“Nelly is a bastard without a father, but Nelly can feel pain, too!”
