Chapter 917: Section 604: Change (2)_3

After saying these things, Mars, who tended to be talkative, looked at the girl with a face full of fear: "In my time, you were innocent, and I didn’t intend to kill you. But you know your mother died at my hands, you want revenge for your mother, thus a duel to the death ensued between us, and now as I stand before you, the duel has come to an end... I’m sorry, Natasha, I want to live, to avenge my father and family. I can’t afford to fail on my journey of vengeance. I’m truly sorry."

"Wait a moment, the other me." Mark spoke up, causing Malin to turn to the side. He saw the child wanting to run over, but his father had grabbed his arm. However, he kicked his father’s shin bone and finally freed himself from his father’s grip.

"My ancestor! Please help me hold off my father!"

The child ran toward Mars, and Malin extended a hand to block his father’s pursuit.

"Let your child deal with his first love, will you." Malin’s advice finally made Hill stop. He watched his child run toward the girl and ultimately sighed deeply.

"What are you doing here?" Mars asked.

"She is my Natasha." Mark stood in front of Natasha.

"Yeah, in the end, she chose to watch you die." The smirk on Mars’s face was visible.

"So, I’m here to decide her fate. Give me the gun." Mark extended his hand.

"No! Mark! You can’t do this!" The girl cried out, her mother holding onto her daughter tightly.

Mars looked at his younger self and shook his head: "You’re just a kid. Your life has been altered by me and the ancestors. You should’ve taken a path completely different from mine. Your father is a policeman; he went undercover voluntarily. After today, he will become a true officer again, and you will be his son. You should become a policeman. If you end up with a criminal record here, everything will be completely different." After saying this, Mars pushed Mark back into his father’s embrace.

Then he looked at Natasha: "Natasha, do you know what your mother did in the Death’s Eye Organization?"

The girl, who was crying, was stunned for a moment. She turned her head to look at her mother as if before today, she had never thought about this question.

"Mark, don’t do this." The smile on the mother’s face was filled with bitterness.

"Lady Anna, on the surface, you are the president of a high-class hotel in District Ten, a defender of women’s rights. Who would know..." "Enough, I beg you, please don’t tell it in front of the child."

The lady started crying, and Malin felt some pity, but as he was about to persuade Mars to stop, he heard a very unexpected answer.

"No, Lady Anna, you are the most terrifying ’Smiling Lady’ in the Death’s Eye Organization. You manage all the flesh trade in the city except for the Upper Five Districts. Those pitiful girls from the Western Human World who are deceived by new life come here only to have their freedom controlled by you. You take such care of your daughter but never tell her if you are a human or a ghost..." As Mars spoke, he looked at the perplexed Natasha, "You love your daughter, but you have never loved anyone else’s daughters, you even let them live in hell... As for you, I would have had no issue, but among those girls was one who was blinded, hailing from Carterburg. She said she had the most beautiful blue eyes. She came to the Eastern World because a gentleman told her she could definitely become a movie star. She loved him and even gave herself to him. After I rescued her, she cried for a long time. Before deciding to end her life, she pleaded with me to ask you who the man who deceived her was. I dared not to tell her of your death, only after she passed away could I bury her. I didn’t even know who she was, so the magazine of bullets that I left for that man has remained undelivered to this day... Now I have the chance, Lady Anna, if you tell me who he is, I swear I won’t kill your daughter."

Malin closed his mouth and decided to pack away his compassion.

"Are you sure, do you swear?" Natasha asked Mars.

"Yes, I can alter her memory, and based on what that girl said, she was tricked into coming here around a three-year window. I want to deal with him first here so that at least she won’t have to face a painful downfall every time. To love someone blindly is never a fault; it’s the heartbreakers who truly deserve to die." As Mars spoke, he showed a calm smile familiar to Malin: "See, I’m right, aren’t I, Lady Anna? You love Natasha so much, and I’ve liked her too. Considering we both share this wish, betraying your subordinate or lover, I think, is your best choice."

"Then can you tell me what he looks like?" Lady Anna asked.

"No problem, a young man, very charming when he smiles, with white cropped hair and a lip ring. Rumor has it he’s quite a looker, as well. After all, humans are advanced animals that let their third perspective follow their five senses." Mars said with a smile.

"...That’s definitely Anthony Belzemeninsky, who lives at 248 Taglof District in District Seventeen, in a small house with a private courtyard all to himself; he is the most attractive bait under me and the only one who has a lip ring while sporting white cropped hair." Caught between her daughter and lover, Lady Anna showed everyone present the most precious sentiment of a mother.
