At this moment, he truly felt the meaning of being alive.

It was the happiness of taste buds being conquered by delicious food, the satisfaction of the stomach being filled with food, the little girl calling him “Brother Shiba” in every sentence, and the gentle and caring gaze of the woman across from him...

Thirteen once told him that WT was their belief, and the so-called belief was the lifelong pursuit, the unyielding dedication to shed blood and sacrifice without regret.

He wanted to refute, but was left speechless.

Here and now, he understood that his belief was freedom.

The night was getting darker.

All the children were asleep, and Shiba was squatting in the living room, cleaning up the mess.

Ming Chen had been pestering him to play with puzzles, and Shiba could complete the most complex Lego blocks in the shortest time, which caused Ming Chen to scream continuously, and even Ming Ti couldn’t help but look at him in admiration.

Shiba carefully packed the Lego blocks, one by one, into the box.

Ming Jing came down from upstairs, and Shiba looked up at her, put down the Lego blocks, and stood up.

“Come with me.”

Shiba followed Ming Jing out the door.

“When Baihui is knocked to the ground, one cannot return home, when Zhangmen is hit, nine out of ten people die, Taiyang and Yamen will inevitably lead to the underworld, the spine cannot be connected without bones, and below the knee is imminent death. By mastering the eight extraordinary meridians and the essential points, defeating and controlling the enemy can be as easy as a mantis shaking a tree.”

Although her words were filled with killing intent, they sounded gentle and unhurried when spoken from her mouth, like a refreshing spring breeze.

“Will you teach me?” Shiba had only seen it in the martial arts novels that Thirteen had hidden, never expecting that such skills truly existed.

Ming Jing turned and walked to the floor-to-ceiling window: the view from the eighteenth floor was unique.

“Life is like the moon, with its waxing and waning, gains and losses. What will you exchange with me?”

Shiba lowered his head and thought, seemingly making a difficult decision. After a long time, he said solemnly so.

“I believe you are my redemption.”

“For freedom, for loyalty.”

“Once uttered, even a galloping horse cannot catch up.”

Under the bright moonlight, the girl smiled gently.

“From now on, this place will be your home.”

Last year, Elder Theodore Shelby celebrated his seventieth birthday, and Shen Zhou held a low-key celebration.

Those who wanted to butter up and flatter him left disappointed.

This year, on the contrary, they were preparing for a grand and extravagant event that did not conform to Shen Zhou’s usual style, so everyone speculated what meaning Shen Zhou’s actions held.
