Birds of Prey

After all, Bai Sa still couldn't let go of his heart, and let Bai Ya wander outside alone.

After the white crow left, he sat on the top of Wuyan Peak, staring blankly at the mountain path leading into and out of Wuyan Peak, and sat there for two full days and two nights without a single drop of water.

He didn't know what was wrong with him, he just couldn't get his energy up, he was in a trance, and he always felt that his life would no longer be complete without that child by his side.

But he couldn't make up his mind to go out and look for it, because doing so seemed to be equivalent to agreeing with the white crow's feelings.

That silly boy... why did he have such strange feelings for himself?

Isn't it good to simply be a father and son and live together on Wuyan Peak forever?

"Master Bai Sa, how long are you going to hesitate here?" Yagi jumped up the cliff, squatted behind the leader, and persuaded in a low voice: "If you are worried, why don't you catch up as soon as possible?"

He pursed his lips and said lightly, "He left because he didn't treat me as a father."

"We have seen this for a long time." Yagi shook his head, but Bai Sa gave him a surprised look.

"A long time ago, the white crow had an unusual desire to possess you. At first we thought it was the child's dependence on his father, and it would fade away when he grew up and became independent, but the feeling increased instead of diminishing. We felt That child is definitely not a simple father-son relationship with you."

Seeing that the leader seemed very surprised, Yagi sighed, "According to your temper, if you know it, you will not be able to bear it, but you love White Crow so much, we don't want you to make things difficult..."

"Oh... what should I do?" Bai Sa had never been so troubled.

"Then you have to ask yourself how important the white crow is to you."

Yagi's words shocked Bai Sa's heart.important?

Of course it was important, that was the child he had worked so hard to bring up with his own hands...someone he didn't want to lose no matter what.

"Just because his feelings for you have changed, do you regard him as a stranger?"

How could it be... How could my feelings for that child be so easily erased!He is all my spiritual sustenance!

Perhaps, I am the one who is dependent on the other party, so once separated from the crow, I become at a loss, not knowing what to do...

The conversation with Yagi reverberated in Bai Sa's heart, and in the end he still couldn't hold back his worry, and rushed down the mountain overnight, chasing all the way to Qingshi Town, not far from Wuyan Peak, before he got the news about Bai Ya.

Although he was fortunate to finally find the whereabouts of the white crow, the chaotic smell here made Bai Sa anxious.

He carefully identified the smells around him, and found that whether it was from the white crow, the monk, or the group of alien monsters of unknown origin, they all seemed to be heading in the same direction... and as far as he knew, there was only one temple in that direction .

"Crow, don't let anything happen..." Without thinking about it, he rushed to the temple immediately.

The white crow wakes up leisurely, only to find that he has changed into his original form, his whole body is weak, and he was bound by his claws and thrown into a broken room.

Sitting next to him were a few bald-headed guys, holding strange wooden pestles, beating the same strange wooden utensils, chanting words, but the white crow didn't know what they were chanting.

"Hey! Why are you arresting me?" The white crow couldn't move, he could only growl with his eyes wide open.

"Amitabha." The monk just gave him a blank look, and then continued to chant scriptures, ignoring him.

Although this temple is small, it is a branch of Tianlong Temple, the largest temple in the Central Plains. Countless eminent monks would spend the night here to rest. The adult little demon paid attention to it.

The reason why they surrounded the white crow was because the real body of the white crow was strange.

In the whole temple, no eminent monk could tell which demon tribe he belonged to. The abbot even read "Central Plains Demon Strange Tales" hundreds of times, but he still couldn't find out his origin.

They can only use the scriptures to break the spell on the white crow, make him return to his real body, and restrain his actions with the spell.

While they were meditating on the mantra, there was a sudden gust of wind outside the house, a strange cold wind blew out the candles in the house, and a creepy atmosphere filled the surroundings.

"There is evil spirit!" The head monk stopped chanting the mantra, got up carefully and walked out the door, with cold sweat gradually oozing from his forehead.

Standing in the house, he could feel the powerful evil spirit continuously seeping in, and a huge figure was projected on the paper window by the door, like a ferocious beast!

"Roar!" The beast outside the house let out a terrifying roar, and the urgent bell rang in the temple, and many monks rushed over with magic weapons.

The monk opened the door, and everyone looked up in surprise.

In the front yard of the temple, stood a huge silver wolf!

The hair on its whole body stands on end, exuding a strong demonic aura, and one front foot is pressing on the roof of the Daxiong Hall, as if it can crush the hall with just a slight pressure!

The golden eyes swept across the monks, and in the slightly opened long mouth, the fiery red tongue and sharp fangs made people shudder!

"This is terrible! Could it be that a monster with a thousand years of Taoism has come?" The head monk turned pale with fright, and hurriedly called several other people to help, leaving only a junior monk to guard the white crow.

After the monks had left, Bai Ya finally saw everything outside the door.

When he saw the huge and strong silver wolf, tears kept overflowing from his eyes, and he couldn't hold it back.

"Father..."

Of course he recognized the wolf!When he was still in the eggshell, he remembered the temperature of this wolf. When he was a little older, he would occasionally pester his adoptive father to change him back to his original shape, roll in his arms, crawl on his back and grab his ears. behave in a spoiled manner.

Every time at this time, the adoptive father's expression was a little embarrassed, but he couldn't bear his soft-heartedness, and he returned to his original shape and let him mess around.

He knew that although his adoptive father seemed indifferent and ruthless, his heart was actually softer than anyone else's... It was because he was determined to compromise that he would do so many willful things.

"I'm sorry, adoptive father..." White Crow stretched his neck hard, and howled sadly, "I'm sorry...but I still like you so much..."

He has always liked and relied on him since he was born. When he grew up, this feeling gradually germinated. He thought that he just wanted to get the approval of his adoptive father, but until he realized that what he longed for was actually something deeper. , this crazy feeling can no longer be contained.

"I have lust for you, since you know it, why did you come to save me..." Crow hit the ground with his head, crying bitterly, "Can't I just leave like this? No one will bother me anymore you."

"Unfilial!"

Suddenly, a familiar curse came from outside the house, which shocked Bai Ya and raised his head suddenly.

"Who is it!" The only monk who stayed behind stood in front of the white crow nervously, staring at the door.

"I've raised you for so many years in vain, do you really want to die that much?"

A white shadow flashed in from outside the door at an extremely fast speed. The monk had just put the magic stick on his chest when the silver light rushed straight and hit the iron bar. A powerful force knocked the monk away. go out.

"Ah!" The monk screamed, slammed into the wall heavily, and fell to the ground unconsciously.

The silver light gradually changed in front of the white crow, forming a thin figure.

There was no expression on the handsome face, as indifferent as a stone statue, but it made the white crow happy and excited.

"Father!"

With a sound of "pa", Bai Sa slapped Bai Ya on the face, making him bewildered.

"Did you really mean what you said just now?" Bai Sa frowned at him, "Do you really want to leave?"

"If I don't leave, foster father will find it difficult..." White Crow lowered his head and stopped looking at him.

"If you leave, it will be even more difficult for me." Bai Sa whispered, then untied the rope from Bai Ya's body, and picked him up from the ground when he had not yet returned to human form.

"It's not suitable to stay here for a long time, let's talk about it after leaving here!" Regardless of how surprised the child in his arms was, Bai Sa jumped out of the window, and then he heard the sound of chaotic footsteps coming from the temple.

"Hurry up! Don't let that cunning monster get away!"

The monks were very annoyed. The wolf monster in the front yard was so huge that they dared not go forward cautiously, but after a long confrontation, they didn't see any further movement from the wolf monster. , It's just a phantom created by demon power!

The monk who was in charge of dealing with the white crow suddenly realized, and hurried back to the room where the white crow was imprisoned, only to find out that they had been tricked into diverting the tiger away from the mountain!

Although Bai Sa has the self-esteem of a strong wolf tribe, he is not a fool.

Even Firefox Chiyu, who has thousands of years of morality, suffered at the hands of these bald donkeys. His own morality is almost the same as that of Chiyu, and confrontation will definitely not please him. Besides, he is here to save people, so he doesn't want to do anything else. One to ten foolishness!

He ran for several miles with the white crow in his arms, but the monk who chased him out was not a fuel-efficient lamp. He actually followed them all the time and couldn't get rid of them, which made Bai Sa quite annoyed.

I'm afraid that a war cannot be avoided, but I'm afraid that the flames of war will spread and hurt the low-level white crow.

Bai Sa had some scruples and didn't dare to take it lightly. When he was about to stop, hide the white crow, and then deal with the monks behind him, a strange voice came from deep in the woods.

"Leave it to us! Take him away first!"

As soon as the words fell, a few black shadows rushed out and rushed towards the pursuers.

Bai Sa froze for a moment, and when he brushed past those black shadows, he smelled the uneasy breath again.

It was obviously a completely different breath from the Central Plains Monster Race, but... he felt as if he had smelled it somewhere.

"Ah!" The painful cries of monks suddenly came from the woods, accompanied by the sound of birds beating their wings, it sounded extremely frightening.

Bai Sa hurriedly withdrew his mind, and flew towards the depths of the woods with the crow until he completely left the group of monks behind.

He stopped and put down the white crow in his arms when he could no longer smell the scent of monks and aliens.

"Are you OK?"

Bai Ya turned back into a human form, raised his head, looked at Bai Sa's worried expression, couldn't help feeling hopeful, and asked nervously, "Father, why do you find it difficult for me to leave?"

"That's because..." Bai Sa was taken aback for a moment, but he didn't expect Bai Ya to ask such a question, so he could only murmur, "Because, I am your adoptive father."

"...Really?" Bai Ya lowered his head helplessly, forcing himself not to look at Bai Sa, otherwise he would no longer be able to bear the longing and pain in his heart, "But you know that doing this will give me another kind of expectation..."

"Crow..." Seeing him like this, Bai Sa was heartbroken, and wanted to step forward to hug the child in his arms to comfort him, but Bai Sa took a step back, avoiding his touch.

"I can no longer regard myself as your son, so... foster father, I will not go back to Wuyan Peak again."

If he returns to Wuyan Peak, I'm afraid he will suffer even more!Now that he has recognized his feelings, he can no longer bear the pain of staying with his adoptive father but not having him.

"You're going to kill yourself when you leave Wuyan Peak! Why are you so stubborn!!" Bai Sa became anxious when he heard that he didn't want to go back to Wuyan Peak, "What's so bad about being a father and son? looking at you..."

"Not enough..." Bai Ya shook his head, stood up, and stared at Bai Sa's anxious face, "What I want is not only "love", foster father, I want to monopolize you..."

He reached out to touch Bai Sa's cheek, and Bai Sa froze immediately, not knowing how to respond.

Crow's tall figure, and his increasingly mature face...

Yes, he has long understood that the child in front of him is no longer a little guy who will nest in his arms and act like a baby.

It's just that he didn't want him to grow up so fast, and he didn't want him to leave himself to find his people when he became an adult...

Isn't this also his... monopoly on White Crow?

Do you actually want to monopolize the crow?

"Father, what I want is your love..."

Those big hands cupped Bai Sa's chin, and the familiar hot air sprayed on Bai Sa's lips, making Bai Sa's face blush.

"This... This is not in line with etiquette, I am your father..." Bai Sa hurriedly turned her head away, but her heart beat violently for some reason, and she was in a panic.

Why is it like this every time, whenever he gets too close to the crow, his heart beats like it doesn't belong to him.

"But adoptive father... I like you so much, I like you so much that I don't want to die..." Bai Ya hugged Bai Sa tightly.

"If you don't have this kind of affection for me, then let me go, otherwise I really don't know what I will do... I like you so much... just let me go, adult children leave Isn’t it normal to be at home? It doesn’t matter if I leave your side...why are you chasing after me?”

The white crow said tremblingly, at first it seemed to be persuading Bai Sa, but in the end it was almost shouting out his own heart, and Bai Sa's chest was in pain as if it was pierced and stirred by countless sharp knives.

"How can you say that!" He pushed away the white crow's hug, then grabbed his hair and pulled the painful face closer to himself, "Why do you think it's okay to leave...you..."

Do you know how worried and helpless I was after you left?

Do you know how much I care about and value you? It is you who infused my life with the warmth of my family. I just don’t want to lose you, and I don’t want to lose this warmth...but now you feel that it doesn’t matter and want to leave I?

The pain and loneliness that can't be told to outsiders surged up at this moment, making it hard for Bai Sa to suppress it anymore. He clenched his fists fiercely, a soreness rose to the tip of his nose, and his eyes began to turn red.

"Father..." Bai Ya, who had never seen Bai Sa like this before, paused, staring blankly at Bai Sa who was holding back tears.

Once upon a time, the most ruthless and powerful silver wolf Bai Sa on Wuyan Peak, who never showed weakness in front of others, also had such a fragile expression.

The white crow felt distressed and wanted to comfort him by taking him into his arms.And he did.

"I'm sorry... foster father, don't cry..." Pulling the trembling person into his arms, Bai Ya leaned against Bai Sa's neck and said softly, feeling the wetness on the side of his cheek, he stretched out involuntarily. Tongue, licking away the wet and salty water marks.

Suddenly feeling a strange touch on his cheek, Bai Sa was about to push the white crow away, but unexpectedly, the sensitive part of his neck was gently swept by the tip of the white crow's tongue, and suddenly a strange tingling sensation hit his whole body, making him fall down. Taking a breath, his body softened.

Bai Sa was already in a defenseless situation, and Bai Ya hugged him hard, putting all his weight on him. This action made both of them unsteady and fell to the ground, and Bai Ya even panicked. Press on Bai Sa.

Raising his head in concern, Bai Crow wanted to see if the person under him was okay, but suddenly saw Bai Sa's eyes were moist, and his cheeks were flushed with redness because of his licking just now, with a sexy and alluring appearance...

White Crow was stunned.He is a vigorous young man, although he is still ignorant about love, seeing his sweetheart like this, his male instinct immediately dominates all his senses.

"Father, I like you..." Confessed in a murmur, he leaned forward on Bai Sa's shoulder, kept licking that smooth neck just like before, his hands tightly wrapped around Bai Sa's waist and refused to let go.

"Hmm...stop it!" Bai Sa resisted with all her strength and wanted to push him away, but Bai Crow didn't restrain herself.

He didn't know anything about the affair, and he didn't know what to do next. He just felt an indescribable flame burning wildly in his body, but he had nowhere to vent. Things kept rubbing against Bai Sa's thigh.

As soon as he touched the hot crotch of the white crow, Bai Sa woke up suddenly, and the evil spirit gushed out from his body, and the white crow was ejected.

"Ah!" White Crow fell heavily on the ground, his bones seemed to be falling apart, and he was in constant pain.

"You are treating me..." Bai Sa stood up, furious, her cheeks were as red as ripe persimmons, "You, do you want to die that much?"

He was really angry this time, and he raised his foot to kick his unfilial and shameless adopted son.

"Please be merciful!"

Suddenly, a cold command made Bai Sa stop and turn around abruptly.

There were several men in black standing in front of him, and their smell made Bai Sa's nerves tense again.

"Thank you all for your help just now...but..." Before Bai Sa finished speaking, he rushed out like lightning, approaching a man in black who was closest to him.

The man in black didn't expect him to make a sudden attack and hurriedly dodged, but he was not as fast as Bai Sa.

Bai Sa's punch suddenly turned into a palm, and he slashed the face of the man in black. He tore off the black cloak that covered his face, and pulled hard.

"You!" The man was shocked and annoyed when his cloak was torn off.

"I didn't expect..." Seeing the other person, Bai Sa smiled coldly, dropped his cloak, and stared fiercely at the man in black in front of him, "You gang of thieves, how dare you trespass into the Central Plains?"

The person whose cloak was torn off by him had long legs and long hands, and his face was also very different from that of the Central Plains people. The shoulders and neck were covered with a thin layer of thin feathers, which is the characteristic of the monster race in the Western Regions!

"Your Excellency must be Bai Sa, the famous silver wolf of the Central Plains monster tribe. I just saw your strength in the temple, and you really deserve your reputation!" The old man in black who was named the leader took a step forward, and according to the Central Plains habit, he clasped his fist at Bai Sa. Give a gift.

"Hmph! You gang of thieves have repeatedly harassed our Central Plains border, and this time you concealed your identity and invaded our Central Plains. What is the purpose?" Bai Sa looked at him indifferently, and the anger in his heart was burning.

"It seems that we are quite unpopular." The old man smiled, "Although I don't know why Lord Bai Sa was displeased, but please rest assured, my lord, we will go back to the Western Regions immediately, and we will not give any favors to Lord Bai Sa and everyone in the Central Plains." cause any trouble."

"Want to leave so soon? Do you think the Central Plains is a place where you can come and go when you want?" Bai Sa exuded a demonic aura, gathered behind him into a silver wolf image, and roared at the people in black in front of him. .

"Lord Bai Sa, please don't get me wrong! We are here just to find someone, if we offend you, please forgive me." Seeing that he wanted to do something, the old man hastily explained.After all, he has a mission here, and he doesn't want to make troubles.

"Father, I don't think he's a bad guy..." Bai Ya got up from the ground and pulled Bai Sa's arm, "And they helped us just now."

"Shut up!" Bai Sa threw him away, pointed at the man in black in front of him, and said bitterly, "These thieves from the Western Regions are cruel and cold-blooded, and they kill without blinking an eye! Back then, 29 lives of my Snow Wolf Clan died tragically among them. Hand, I have a sworn feud with this group of thieves!"

For thousands of years, that bloody memory has been lingering in his mind, leaving him with only one belief in his heart - to kill these thieves and avenge his loved ones!

But now that the enemy is in front, how can he control himself?

"Is there any misunderstanding?" The old man in black looked at Bai Sa suspiciously, "Although my family is brave and good at fighting, we have never been good at fighting, let alone killing innocent people indiscriminately. How could we do such a thing?"

"Hmph! Don't be hypocritical! Didn't you sneak into the Central Plains secretly for a sneak attack? I will never let you leave today!" Bai Sa put on a fighting posture, looking down on the many men in black.

Although normally he would never do stupid things like fighting with fewer enemies, but at this moment he couldn't bear the hatred in his heart, even if he risked his life, he would fight to the death with them!

"Wait! We came here just to find the long-lost prince of our clan. Now that he has been found, we don't intend to cause disputes between the two monster clans of the Central Plains and the Western Regions..." the old man in black hurriedly declared, his eyes drifting to The white crow beside Bai Sa said, "This is His Royal Highness Rab from the royal family of the Western Regions..."

"You think you just made up such an excuse..." Bai Sa's words suddenly stopped, and then she turned her head suddenly, looked at the white crow beside her, and then turned her gaze to the old man.

"You just... said... what?"

"This is the prince of our demon tribe in the Western Regions." The old man looked at the white crow with relief. "More than ten years ago, due to civil strife, the prince has been living outside. We searched hard for a long time, and finally let us find him in the Central Plains!"

But White Crow was confused, and pointed to himself, "Me?"

"Not bad..." The old man smiled slightly, and pulled off the cloak that concealed his figure and demonic aura, revealing his hair color that was different from other Western Region monsters.

It is exactly the same as the white crow, both are dazzling red, as if a group of flames are burning!

"You are the head of my monster clan in the Western Regions—the heir of the King Vulture Clan, Your Highness Rab!" The old man walked up to the white crow and knelt down on one knee, "Please forgive us for our earlier faux pas...that was just to prove you With your identity, you do have the bloodline totem of our clan!"

"Totem? You mean this?" White Crow scratched his back, remembering what happened before.

As if aware of his touch, the totem immediately released a dazzling light.

"You..." Bai Sa, who has been patrolling the border for many years, will not fail to recognize this totem representing the leader of the Western Regions monster clan.

He turned pale with shock, took a step back unconsciously, and the hand that pointed at the white crow trembled, "Are you really... the prince of the demon clan in the Western Regions?"

"No! I'm the White Crow, not some Rab!" Knowing Bai Sa's hatred for the Western Regions Monster Race, the White Crow quickly denied it. He didn't want to make himself the object of hatred by his adoptive father, "I am the Central Plains Monster Race, Yifu, you know better than anyone else! This totem must have been made by them..."

"No..." Bai Sa shook her head in pain.

The totem symbolizes blood, which is unmistakable, and it is even more impossible to be inscribed on people who do not belong to this race casually!

But for so many years, the totem has never appeared on the crow, so no one has figured out his identity.It turns out that the real identity of the crow has not been found out for many years, precisely because he does not belong to the Central Plains at all!

He had known for a long time that the child he picked up at the foot of the snow-capped mountain might be a monster from the Central Plains or a monster from the Western Regions!

After all the bird tribes in the Central Plains couldn't recognize which tribe the crow belonged to, he actually noticed it.

After adding the crow, he grew such dazzling red hair... Red hair, that is the symbol of the royal family of the monster clan in the Western Regions!

But because of his selfishness, he didn't think in another direction until there was no definite evidence. He didn't want this child whom he cared about to become his enemy, and wanted to keep him by his side...until today!

what to do?The monster clan from the Western Regions has come to the door, and they are going to take the crow away!

But, can I keep him?That child...is the royal family of the monster clan in the Western Regions!

"Get lost!!" Bai Sa suddenly lowered her voice, staring at Bai Ya coldly.

White Crow couldn't believe his ears.The foster father wants to drive him away?

He could hear that the adoptive father was really cruel this time, and his tone of voice was quite different from the previous warning.

He is serious about driving himself away from the Central Plains and from him!

"Father, don't be angry, listen to me..." Bai Ya wanted to step forward to hold Bai Sa, but he fell to the ground with a wave of his hand.

"Go back to the Western Regions! Don't let me see you again!" Bai Sa's eyes shot out a monstrous anger, which made Bai Ya feel extremely chilled.

"Father, are you going to abandon me?" White Crow knelt on the ground and cried out, the tears on his face made him extremely embarrassed, looking extremely pitiful.

But Bai Sa ignored all of this. He snorted coldly and stared fiercely at the choking child, "Remember, from today onwards, I will sever ties with you, and treat it as if I never raised you! In the future, if Let me see you in the Central Plains, I will not show mercy!"

After saying that, he turned around and left, walking so resolutely, it deeply broke the white crow's heart.

White Crow doesn't understand, isn't foster father the most soft-hearted?

This time, why was he so ruthless that he left himself alone among these strangers without even looking back.

"Father!" Bai Ya cried loudly, but even though he broke his throat, Bai Sa didn't look back, but quickened his pace. With a flash of his figure, he turned into a silver light and flew away, disappearing in front of his eyes.

"Father..." Bai Ya stretched out his hand, his vision was blurred by tears, and his throat was hoarse and hurt because of the roar just now, but what hurt more was his heart!

His heart seems to have been fragmented, unable to be complete!

"Oh, Your Highness...he has a deep misunderstanding of our Western Region monster clan. In the future, as long as the misunderstanding is resolved, you can still see him..." Could not bear to see the white crow so sad, the old man hurriedly comforted him, and stretched out his hand to help him stand up.

"It's all of you! It's all of you!" But the white crow slapped his hand away, roaring angrily and desperately. "If it wasn't for you, foster father wouldn't leave me alone, it's all of you! I don't want to go to the Western Regions with you, I'm a Central Plains demon, I'm a white crow, not some Rab!"

A sound of "Bang!" interrupted the noise of the white crow.

The white crow that had been hit hard on the back of the head fell straight and was embraced by the old man.

The old man sighed helplessly, "I'm sorry, Your Highness Rab, but we must bring you back to the Western Regions..."

The black shadows surrounded him, and quickly lifted the unconscious white crow, and flew up into the sky, heading towards the west.

On the other side, Bai Sa ran across several hillsides in one breath, and finally stopped by a quiet lake.

He could no longer suppress the grief in his heart, his feet went limp, and he fell to sit by the lake.

White Crow is the prince of the monster tribe in the Western Regions... and the son of his enemy!

Why did God make fun of him like this?Why did he take him away from his side in this way after he poured all his feelings into that child.

"Crow..." Bai Sa called out the name she had chosen for him in pain, and couldn't help but shed tears.

He has been avoiding the fact that the crow is a monster from the Western Regions, and he doesn't want to lose that child because of it!

But when the Western Region monsters stood in front of him with conclusive evidence, he couldn't refute his excuses, and he felt a deep sense of guilt that he took the life that should belong to the crow and his family away from him.

Moreover, the crow is still the prince of the demon tribe in the Western Regions, the son of his own enemy!

He didn't know how to face the crow, and he didn't want to deprive the crow of everything that should belong to him because of his selfishness.Under the guise of hating the monsters of the Western Regions, he let the child leave him and return to the place where he should have been.

However, this also means that from then on, he really lost the White Crow...

Bai Sa covered her eyes and took a deep breath, trying to calm herself down.

He didn't expect that losing the white crow would cause him such pain, but no matter how painful it was, he had to endure it.

The members of the royal family of monsters in the Western Regions are better than living in another country and being bullied by foreign races!

That's right, this is the best way to confront the crow, even if he will become his enemy...
