Young Dragon Breeding Program

?No one seemed to be able to command his attention except the little boy next to him.Ivan thought dully, as if his hard work and entanglement over the years were unnecessary, don't mention it, I'm afraid he will never know.

Therefore, Ivan can completely guess why Duran abandoned his principles and came all the way to Bonitain, and even appeared in this auction.Because it was the kid, the boy named Loren, of course it was!

Ivan didn't know whether he was happy or angry and left with a wooden face.

Duran waved his hand, smiling until Ivan's back disappeared.

Then he turned around, facing the long railing on the sixth floor, he met the eyes that had been glued to him since just now.Duran squinted his eyes and glanced back unkindly, which actually made the man's smile deepen.

Typical dude.This was Dulan's first impression of Xiuya, and it has not changed until now.

Who would spend [-] gold coins for something they don't need?

The beauty of the submarine crown is beautiful, and no matter how beautiful it is, it is just a jewelry decoration.From the perspective of a businessman rather than an artist, without the dazzling beauty, it is essentially a pile of hard white stones.At most, it is used to curry favor with female relatives, but in terms of practical significance, it is really useless.

Duran propped his chin, preferring to focus on Duke Blount.As if he understood what he was thinking, the young man from other places moved a whole body, blocking the side of Duke Blount.It's not right to say it's blocking, because Xiuya only aimed at him, knowing how to cover up the gaze from this direction.

"We meet again. 』Lip language, silently, with a slightly sinister smile.

boring.Dulan thought in his heart, looking back indifferently,

This kind of behavior may attract the attention of others at any time. Should we say that Xiuya is going his own way, or is he forgetting to use his brain?Had Duke Blunt not disciplined his cousin?

"Would you like to come and sit down?" 』

"no thanks. 』

Xiuya over there rarely received a response, and excitedly turned his head and grabbed his cousin's clothes: "The man I met on the street a few days ago appeared, look, he finally noticed me .”

Duke Blunt asked inexplicably, "Who?"

"That's the one I told you about. She's the perfect example of the man of my dreams!"

"...Oh, I remembered." Duke Blount thought for a while, and then he realized that what Xiuya said was definitely not a woman.Of course, the Duke had known for a long time that this cousin's orientation was different from ordinary people, but because he was still young, his personality was playful, and because the circle itself was a masculine relationship, he silently tolerated it. "Where is he?"

"It's right there—ah—"

There was no one at the point, and Xiuya's face instantly shrugged.

"It was there just now, but now it's gone."

Duke Blount didn't care much. On the contrary, he felt that it was expected. He said calmly: "Just go, don't worry too much. If Aunt Nivi finds out that you are flirting everywhere, half a year will pass. I will definitely arrange for a wolf-like wife to control you."

Xiuya let out a "wow" and almost jumped up in shock: "Don't! What you said is too scary."

The Duke hummed softly and drank his tea with a frown.

I couldn't see the weather outside the venue, but based on my feeling, at least it was past dusk.From the beginning to the end, the glazed boulder underneath had a very wonderful effect, illuminating the venue as bright as day, without making it look glare and sad.Underpinned by the auctioneer's ingenious words, the atmosphere was still warm, especially when the last black diamond appeared, and people's whispers could be heard even in their box.

Today's Dragon Clan is just a noun in the history books, a paragraph of text, but the elders can't forget their glory, after all, it was once the legend of the whole continent!

In order to avoid unnecessary interruptions, Duran slipped to the opposite side of the corridor.Now his position became an invisible blind spot for the box where the Duke was, but he could notice their movements.Duran understood what the black diamond meant, and unconsciously tensed up, trying to find any trace of familiarity.Disappointingly, apart from people's discussions one after another, and the magical fluctuations from the auction item itself, nothing else was sensed.

The auctioneer has already begun to introduce the background of the commodity.

"Black Diamond, as its name suggests, is said to be the eyes of the black dragon Kajeste, which has the mysterious power to charm the mind. After half a century of precipitation, these eyes are now full of Kajeste's resentment. Be careful here I would like to remind everyone that if it is an ordinary person who has no magic power at all, it is better not to touch it as much as possible.”

It is rare that the organizer first warned the guests present instead of blowing up the auction item.This undoubtedly added some unexpected gimmicks to "Black Diamond".

"Because it is the last auction item today, not only its collection value, but also its practical value is immeasurable, so - take a deep breath - the reserve price is 45000 - crystal coins!"

Duran's hand shook slightly, and he looked at the black round object on the exhibition stand in surprise.

I believe there are not a few people who feel the same way as him.After hearing this number, everyone who was originally nervous fell silent for about two or three minutes, and finally some people followed the bidding.Among them was the Duke of Blount, who repeatedly doubled the price and nearly intimidated the audience.

Duran admitted that he still underestimated the degree of corruption of the nobles.Perhaps it was because crystal coins were not yet popular in that era, and purple mine coins were even rarer. Few people directly used these two currencies for transactions, which caused him to be unable to adapt to the current situation for a while.

but……

If he doesn't show up again, after the auction is over, it can be concluded that the little guy is no longer here.

Doesn't this mean that he wasted so much time in vain?

chaptersevenleave

Leaving aside who got the item, Duran went around the venue trying to find the child who had run away from home, but he was inevitably disappointed in the end.He could hear the sound of a small hammer being hammered, as if he had come to a conclusion with his doubts.

Dulan was stunned for a while, feeling that the world under his feet was about to collapse.

Over the past few decades, not all of them have lived on mediocrity.But now, for the first time, he had an impulsive thought. He wanted to destroy the things he had worked so hard to maintain, even if he lost his soul, he would not hesitate to do so.At least, then he can still be a happy person and do happy things.

His breathing was a little unsteady, Duran covered his mouth as if he was going to spit it out, but his stomach was empty.He was amazed at the idea of ​​his tyranny, which would never have occurred to him normally.

Does it contain external factors?Like, that thing?

He felt like he was shirking responsibility.Leaning against the wall and shrugging, he watched the guests gradually disperse like a dead fish.Ivan came up, turned his eyes lightly, then locked on him, and walked quickly.Duran felt that this scene was very strange, as if he was waiting for Ivan to pick him up. The reason why he used it was because he knew it was impossible.However, he was so confused that he didn't know where to go.

Ivan quietly approached his side, as if he was glad that he didn't leave, blinked his black eyes, showing a rare playful expression.

"Have you found someone yet?"

"no."

Ivan already knew the answer before asking, so he said comfortingly at this moment: "Who are you looking for? Maybe I can help."

"No need." Duran looked up at Ivan, straightened up, and walked over the latter.Evan followed him, not more than two feet away, shutting his mouth like a real ghost.

Duran thought that John's purpose in coming to the Upper District would not have any other possibility except this black diamond.Obviously he was thinking too simply.That kid is usually very witty and eccentric, but he still doesn't think about it on the auction item, and the black diamond probably doesn't have much use for him.

Failed.

The night fell heavily on the heart, and the people who came here finally went back with their own gains.Stepping into their respective carriages and galloping away, the sound of the wheels rolling on the asphalt road is uneven, just like the rhythm of a drummer playing freely.

Duke Blunt's carriage also left.The young man named Xiuya seemed to have a good impression of Dulan, waved to him, and boarded the car as if reluctantly.When he realized this, Ivan's eyes changed slightly, a little inexplicably, and seeing Duran's indifferent expression, he didn't know what he was thinking, and the uneasiness in his heart gradually deepened.

Often, a strong desire is the reason for action.

"you……"

Duran made a gesture to speak individually.

Duran said, "Be quiet and listen to me. You are a good boy with a bright future, and you are still very young. Don't waste your time where you shouldn't...or, who you shouldn't be."

At the end of this sentence, the wind became stronger, hunting sounded, and the unique prosperity and desolation of autumn.Dulan smiled, looking straight into those ebony eyes.He expected the other party to understand the meaning of this sentence and make a negative counterattack.He would rather believe that he was being self-indulgent.

Yiwen didn't directly refute, but changed the subject nonchalantly: "Well, where are you going now? Is there a place to stay? Why don't you go to my house."

"..." Dulan couldn't hold back, subconsciously wanted to kick up, "You brat! Can you listen to me carefully!"

"I heard it, indeed, you are older than me." Ivan dodged, came back, and blinked calmly, "But haven't you thought about it? When our age base increases together, then A slight difference is not enough. At that time, you will not be qualified to call me a child. Moreover, even if you don’t come to Bonitain, I will save enough money to go to Hanleyton to find you.”

"Saving money?" Duran muttered, "Ivan, you are such a weirdo. Also, I don't know why you don't seem to have changed at all. Did you use some special method?"

"Um."

Ivan asked distressedly, "Which question should I answer first?"

"Both, take your time, since you're willing to chat with an old man like me. Start with the first one."

"Okay. What I mean is, if I have 1000 million gold coins, I will go to Hanleyton to find you. It will take more than a year, which is much faster than the initial estimate."

"What do you want 1000 million gold coins for?" Duran only felt that his logic was very strange.

"Use it to buy an army." Ivan still used a calm tone, but his expression was serious, indicating that he was not joking, "Then lead the army to attack your castle and make you my prisoner. Of course, I am I absolutely do not allow myself the possibility of failure, so I need a little longer to prepare."

"..."

Duran looked at him a little silly.

Although this sentence is very funny no matter how it sounds.

But with Yiwen's character, there is no doubt that everything from motivation to content is completely true.Duran had to keep silent.I am afraid that I will ask how much money you have now, and then the other party will answer, detailed to rational numbers including a few fractions.Rather than let the situation develop so comically, it is better to skip it honestly.

Then they came to the second question.There was no carriage now, so they had to walk on the road with their feet. When they approached the door, a figure who looked like a guard came out to block their way. Ivan took out the official documents of the auction, so that they all passed smoothly.

"About my appearance..."

Evan turned his head: "Don't you think this is ominous or evil?"

"Is there? It's rare because it's rare." Dulan curled his lips and said lightly, "I haven't thought about it that way, but I can't stop others from thinking about it. Does this have something to do with your current situation? ?”

"Yeah," Ivan paused, and returned to normal two seconds later, his deep voice became more and more ethereal in the night, "I didn't have a good time when I was young, and you got a glimpse at that time, but it wasn't me The worst time. There is a saying that you are right, you can think whatever you want, but you can’t control what others think. A long time ago, some people knew my origin, laughed at me, bullied me, and called me a curse Son of God, that is, a man whom even God has no mercy."

After intermarriage between human race and evil creatures, the children born will generally be discriminated against by both sides. Human blood is a troublesome thing for them, and the same is true here.Therefore, people call the crystals produced by the combination of two kinds of violations of God's will the sons of the curse.

did not expect……

Duran looked at him again, up and down, carefully.

"Are you a descendant of the dark elves?"

After thinking about it, I only got this possibility.

"Well." Ivan said, "I know that the reason for being bullied is because I am too weak. I must change the environment and grow stronger, so I started to wander around, from the south to the north of the mainland, living a complete life. A life without security."

Duran recalled the appearance of the little boy: "Where are your parents?"

"They're all dead. One was killed by the archbishop, and the other died for love." Ivan shook his head and said, "My father is an ordinary person and has cut off contact with the family long ago, and my mother's family is famous for its mystery. , no one knows where they live. Besides, I am not a real dark elf, no matter where I am placed, it will only appear that I am a freak."

"Oh... sorry to bring up your heartbreak."

"It's okay," Ivan replied, "I'd like to tell you about these things."

The cold wind blew harshly.

The tenderness in his eyes in the middle of the night didn't have any effective effect, but it made his skin crawl.

Dulan covered his mouth and yawned, ran a few steps forward, turned his head and waved to him: "It's getting late, Ivan, let's go back to our respective houses. I will play with you when I have a chance, that's all, good night."

"Good night? Night, no, wait—"

…………

……That's too late.

Ivan looked at the empty street, sighed, retracted his hand that had stopped in mid-air, and knocked his head resentfully.Why haven't you learned your lesson yet?The best way is to follow Duran closely, even if he wants to teleport back, he can hold his arm firmly.In this way, even if he wants to run, he will have a high chance of being teleported away together!

Now... now, everything starts again!

The author has something to say: a certain little villain is coming back in the next chapter (^o^)/~

chaptereight surrender (end with inverted V)

He is now facing a major challenge in his life!

John raised his head, took a deep breath as if he was the last breath of air, and stepped forward firmly. Under the strange and puzzled eyes of the boss Kale next to him, he rushed to the destination of the third room on the left on the second floor.

"mom!!"

The door opened, and he threw himself into the arms of the person opposite: "Mommy, I miss you so much!"

Dulan froze all over, with John's arms still around his waist, and he staggered back a few steps.He looked at the little head buried in his arms, sighed deeply, and pushed the latter forcefully away, interrupting this uncomfortable posture.

Is he dreaming?This kid actually took the initiative to send it to your door?

Could it be that the goddess of fate forgot to take the medicine?

Having said that, this is a public place, and the sound just now must have been heard by many people...

Duran's face immediately sank.

John was stunned by the push, and raised his face to look innocently at his expression. Seeing his unfathomable look, he expected something bad to happen, and said in a low voice, "I'm sorry...I'm sorry, Mommy, Are you not angry?" In order to confirm this, he carefully stretched out his hand to touch the young man's body, but was rejected again.

Speaking of it, it seemed that this was an unprecedented attitude just now. John had never seen such a cold and unreasonable Mummy.In the past, at most, he would just scold him and finish the job, but this time he didn't even confide a word.

He suddenly realized that the person in front of him was definitely really angry.

Walking outside the half-open door, standing on the stairs, you can see it, and there are a group of curious onlookers below.It turns out that everyone likes family ethics dramas very much!Duran twitched the corner of his mouth, and then continued to walk forward, passing the gate of the Kale Hotel all the way.John hurriedly followed, but he couldn't catch up with Duran's deliberately accelerated pace. He used a blessing technique of the wind element, which made him walk faster than ordinary adults. Not the slightest bit of heresy.

"Ah... where are you going? Why don't you talk?" John followed suit, "Um...that... Mommy, I know it's wrong for me to run away from home, but I have written greetings in letters, so it's not considered leaving home Just leave."

letter?

It's okay not to mention this, but when he mentions it, he will be full of anger.

There were actually only two sentences in the letter, which, strictly speaking, were not formal at all.Of course, this is not the point of the question.It begins with a line of crooked tadpole-shaped fonts "To my dear mommy: I must have left by the time you see this, but don't worry, I will bring him back with me when I find my big brother!" —Your John. 』

He had no idea that a little lie could have such power.At that time, Dulan had the urge to vomit blood, but managed to calm down, threw the territory he had held on to for many years to two non-human creatures, and then embarked on a long journey to find the child.

Could it be... John's real subtext is... It's all his fault? !

Dulan turned around and smiled miserably. Facing John's incomprehensible gaze, he grabbed the little boy's collar with one hand like a strong man, making the latter's feet lift off the ground and his whole body in the air: "You You want me to talk, right?"

John looked up at him blankly: "Huh?"

"You, you little bastard, you are going to piss me off..."

It should be a moment of extreme anger, but the tone gradually turned to the bass and became weak.

"Mommy..." John said slowly, "I'm sorry, really." He also lowered his voice, as if he knew he had done something wrong, "Forgive me, okay, don't be so sad anymore. You Look, you are going to cry." He reached out and touched Duran's face. "Don't be angry, okay? And..."

Duran felt that his heart seemed to be melted by these soft words.Not good!An alarm bell sounded in Duran's heart, when did he become so stupid!Did he just convince him in a few words?

No matter how tangled and struggling Duran was, he finally asked patiently, "What else?"

"Also, here," John quickly scanned the surroundings, whispered into Duran's ear, "it's on the street~ Mommy, there are at least ten people staring at us."

Duran let go of his hand expressionlessly.

The instant weightlessness made the red-haired boy stagger. When he exclaimed, he almost didn't fall to the ground. Fortunately, he stabilized his body with hands and feet. He waved to the people on the side of the road, and beat Gathering up his spirits, he ran like a gust of wind to catch up with the young man in front of him.

Only the clear and clear shouts of boys came from the air, piercing the eardrums of people in the whole street.

"Ahh, don't leave me!!"

■

"Knock Knock!"

"So the whole story is like this." Adams nodded in disapproval, "You have two children. The older one went out to travel, but you kept the younger one from you, so you went to find the older one for some reason. What happened? I didn’t tell you, so I just ran away alone in the middle of the night or at what time, and injured your long-term worker by the way, and then you came all the way to Bonitain and wandered around the upper district without any gain. When you were disappointed, you found your child in front of you the next day?"

"That's right." Duran observed the white mist drifting from the teacup, and turned his head to look at the empty living room after a while, "Where did your son Tory go?"

"Knock knock, knock knock!"

Old Adams coughed dryly: "The kid went out to have a good time, I think. Before he left, he said that he wanted to make up for his wounded soul. It's really worthless. I don't think about how beautiful I was back then. I don’t know how many dignitaries have heard of the name of Adams Fanny! He just accepted a small business, but he was as excited as if he had never seen money in his life.”

"Knock Knock!"

Dulan felt that he seemed to be trying to squeeze him a little bit, so he looked at the morning tabloids without saying a word.Although the existence of magic is already very popular, ordinary people will not be surprised when they see it, but it has never been used to visualize it, so the function of newspapers has never evolved, and it will always be monotonous black and white. The simple patterns printed out seem to have no redundant artistic value except for the so-called "political openness and fairness".

The one that occupies the largest space above is the joint declaration of the two great figures.Duran took a closer look, inevitably a little surprised, and then looked at Adams with a rather disapproving expression.

"Establish a permanent friendly relationship?" Duran murmured, "With the orcs? Are you kidding me?"

Many humans look down on the orcs, thinking they are a sign of not yet fully evolved.It is understandable if it is an alliance with the elves, even though the latter's eyes may not necessarily be on humans.In short, in other words, the orcs value the weak and the strong the most, and conflicts with other races are common, so it would be strange to agree to such a useless written agreement.

"Some things are not as they appear on the surface, you know." Adams shrugged, as if he was about to stand up, but his legs and feet shook uncontrollably, and Duran raised his hand to support him, "Hmph, old man, your body It's useless." He complained unhappily.

Duran thought for a while: "Yes."

The power of human beings is nothing more than politicians who play tricks. In this regard, I am afraid that other races will not be able to catch up.This is nature.Every kind of creature is created by the gods, with different personalities, and has a great relationship with their own beliefs.

"Knock knock knock knock!"

The inescapable knock on the door is still ongoing.

Adams coughed dryly, stood up again, and slowly moved towards the door: "The kid outside stood there for at least two hours. During the period, he kept making noises, and my ears were almost worn out." Out of the cocoon. It is young and promising, courageous, daring to act, and has a beginning and an end!"

"Stop showing off your idioms that don't convey the meaning of your words." Dulan sneered slightly, lowering his head slightly, making it difficult for people to see his expression, "Whatever he does, don't worry about him."

"real?"

Dulan glanced at it out of the corner of his eye, and saw that his friend still opened the door, looking back at him slyly.It seemed that he had already expected that he would look this way.Duranton felt flustered and simply decided to close his eyes, as if this would save him from unnecessary sulking.

He has thought a lot about John...

Sometimes I hate the injustice of fate and my own powerlessness.It is of course impossible to say that Duran has no feelings for his "child" at all, but once he admits it, it will make him hate himself even more.If you can't resist, do you have to accept it?Even if he survived, it would be an extreme shame.

In other words, he is already a joke, so are you afraid of living an even more unsightly life?Fortunately, Loren's child is not here, otherwise he would have more headaches.

Feeling the child's breath approaching, Duran sighed and opened his pure blue eyes, and found that John was about to approach lightly. Seeing him suddenly open his eyes, he was frightened and immediately stood up straight with his hands behind his back, like A thief who was caught stealing on the spot.His eyes wandered, but he didn't dare to meet his gaze.

Why don't you look up?

The corners of his mouth couldn't help but curl up.

Simply dissecting your own words, you will find that the facts are worse than you imagined.Just starting from now, his career will expand unconsciously. In fact, some things are just the opposite. It can also be said that it is these children who give him the goal of living...

"come over."

"Aren't you angry?" John ran over happily, stretched out his arms and almost threw himself into Duran's arms, "Great, Mommy, you still love me after all."

Knowing that the word didn't mean much seriousness, Dulan was still slightly taken aback, and stroked the soft dark red short hair with his hands.

"Are you worthy of my anger?" Duran said with a sinking face.

"Ah?" John was stunned, looking up at his subtle expression changes, his small face slowly shrugged, "You are lying, this is... this means disgusting..." He was heartbroken, his facial features were all They were about to wrinkle together, "Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo..."

In order to release his grievances, John burst into tears after speaking, but still hugged his waist tightly, for fear that he would get up and leave impatiently.Duran had no doubt that after this battle, a lot of disgusting liquid would be stained on his clothes.

"How many times have I told you?"

By the way, what about Adams?Dulan paused for a moment, looked around, but couldn't find anyone.

I had no choice but to lower my head and use a vicious tone: "No-xu-cry!"

John sucked back his tears, and stared at Duran with misty round eyes, as if accusing.Duran wanted to hit John with a hammer on the head, crack open his skull, and see what abominable contents were inside.

"So, what are you going to do?!"

The author has something to say: T﹏T is going to open V... Girls, I love you.See the text for details.

chapternine confession

"So, what are you going to do?!"

Sticking it on, John whispered, "As long as you forgive me, it'll be all right."

"I forgive you."

Those amber eyes were teary, clearly unable to trust the words.The tears that John had just suffocated were about to come out again, "You must hate me, don't you?" He shook his shoulders, looking like he was dying of pain, "I know I'm wrong, but I clearly I already knew I was wrong, why..."

Dulan admired the child's easy expression and ability to argue, the corners of his mouth twitched, and he said helplessly, "I've said everything, why don't you believe me?"

"Because you don't think so in your heart." John pursed his lips, "I can see it!"

"Don't go too far." Dulan sighed, hesitant to speak a few times, but still replied with some frustration, "...Forget it, why don't you tell me, what exactly should I do to forgive you?"

"Um……"

John thought about it seriously, and after a while he raised his hand to wipe away the mixture of tears and tears from his face.Before he could take the next move, Duran was already so overwhelmed that he could not bear the desire to frown, and took out a handkerchief to wipe his face carefully.There was so little strength in Duran's hand that, to John, it was like a feather brushing lightly over a hot cheek.

It was not the first time he had seen this face.It can be said that in his life so far, he has seen this face the most.Even with his eyes closed, he can draw the outline of Duran and portray a lifelike expression.

But I have never felt warm and familiar inside like this moment.

John suddenly thought of a way, he smiled treacherously, and slowly approached: "Mum, it's actually very simple to prove this, no matter what I do, you can't be angry, it means that you don't mind the previous matter."

Unreasonable.

Duran raised his eyebrows slightly, but John continued to say, "Close your eyes~"

What are you doing with your eyes closed?Duran thought inexplicably, like, anyway, he can't come up with any tricks.So he agreed to this small request, and closed his eyes expressionlessly.

The clear and shallow breath spits out on the face, emitting a little heat.Although Duran could see endless darkness, he could hear the little boy's heartbeat like a drum.Duran waited patiently for a long time, until he thought he was not going to make a move, only then did he notice that a kiss fell and slid across his forehead softly, accompanied by a sweet breath heated up by tension, belonging to The unique warmth of a little boy.

Then, gone?

This level is not enough to annoy myself. Compared with the nasty things John has done, it is simply not a sesame mung bean.Just as Dulan was about to open his eyes, he suddenly found that the child covered his eyes with his hands.

"Mommy, don't peek."

John's words lingered in his ears.

Dulan was taken aback, just when he was at a loss, and then felt a gentle object fall on his face again.This time, the child covered his lips, swallowing slowly and in small bites like chewing a fruity pudding.

His mind went blank for a few seconds before he realized what the kid was doing.Duran's eyes widened suddenly, and he could even feel his eyelashes touching John's palm.But before he got angry or pushed John away, the latter jumped up spontaneously and looked at him with a smile. His cute face with no evil thoughts at all made people feel powerless as if his fist had been hit into cotton.

So, at this time, he should pretend that he didn't react at all, and don't care about this... Is this an intimate kiss that can be regarded as really forgiving John?

Looking at John's expression again, it seems that he really thinks so.

Duran didn't know why he felt that he had premeditated.

"Have enough trouble?" Seeing him taking a step back awkwardly, Duran couldn't help frowning helplessly, "Where did you learn it? Don't you know that only lovers of men and women can do this? Hmm?"

"Ah! Is that so?"

The child's dazed look did not seem to be fake.

"However, it doesn't matter. I would like to be a lover with Mommy~" Amber's round pupils curved up, and she smiled heartlessly, showing no sign of regret before.

Dulan became more and more sure that this brat was deliberately teasing him, and he should have felt angry, but now he couldn't express any emotions.Seeing that he was not very happy, John leaned forward without fear of death, and said in a soft and tentative tone: "I'm just joking, Mommy, don't just because of this..."

"Am I that mean?"

"Of course not!" John replied grinning, "You're the best in the world—"

Without waiting for him to finish his sentence, Duran stretched out his hand and grabbed his ear, only to hear a burst of intentionally exaggerated screams, begging him to let go.Duran moved the corner of his mouth, evoking a very faint smile, and squeezed his hands vigorously. It didn't look like an ordinary smile, but it was like a sign before the awakening of the devil.

"Do you think you'll be fine if you just flatter me? Tell me about where you've been and how you've been these few days." Duran said, "Don't fool me with random nouns, you know how to do that. s consequence."

"Woo—Mummy, let go first, okay, it hurts——"

"Talk before you let go."

Hearing that John wanted to cry, but Dulan didn't even bother to emphasize his tone when he spoke to him, but he didn't expect to be merciless when he raised his hands.I have never been physically punished since I was a child, but this time I really fell down!

"I-I'll just tell you. I've been with Jeff these days. Well, his house is about the same size as ours, but it looks newer. It also has a garden full of roses. There is a Small pool. It’s a pity that I heard all these from him, and I didn’t even have time to go to his house to play.”

"Who is Jeff?" The strange name made him frown.

"It's Jeff."

"I'm asking..." Duran suddenly had a bad feeling, and he forced himself to calm down, with a relaxed tone, "When did you know him? Is he a child or an adult?"

"Uh... of course... about my age," John said, "because he said I was the only one who knew his last name and didn't get any response, so he decided to befriend me." , he was a little apprehensive
