The God of War Returns

funeral parlor.

A middle-aged man in a black suit stood in front of Monica's grandmother's coffin.

Judging from their position, actions, and expressions, they are probably not relatives or friends.

They look more like funeral home staff.

Based on common customs, it is likely that he was an embalmer.

Adam exclaimed in surprise because he was all too familiar with the other person's face.

This face had appeared in many movies he had watched in his previous life.

weathered yet resolute.

Iron-willed yet tender-hearted.

Save the sky, save the earth, save the air.

He's known as the strongest dad on earth.

The fact that such a formidable figure appeared at Monica's grandmother's funeral made Adam question whether the man's identity as an embalmer was genuine.

Is this yet another rescue operation, and the other party is concealing their identity?

Or perhaps.

The God of War returns and sees his daughter living in a doghouse. With a single command, 100,000 soldiers are about to rush to the scene.

Having seen many of his movies in Adam previous life, all of them were war god-type films, Ya couldn't help but let his imagination run wild, and he was quite worried that this place would turn into a killing field.

Seemingly noticing Adam's gaze, the middle-aged man looked over, met Adam's eyes, and nodded with a smile.

Adam naturally returned the smile.

This funeral home is the largest in the vicinity, contracting funeral services, and there is a cemetery right next to it.

After the memorial service, the group left the funeral home and headed towards the adjacent cemetery.

Monica's grandmother's coffin will be buried here.

Unlike the customs in the East Country, everything here is handled by funeral contractors, and relatives and friends do not need to do anything; they only need to attend and mourn.

Even the burial process usually begins after all the relatives and friends have left, only after the funeral contractor has hired someone to start.

"What's wrong?"

Joey noticed Chandler glancing at him frequently and asked, puzzled.

"Nothing."

Chandler quipped, "Your jacket just makes you look like a sports commentator."

"Okay, you found out."

Joey dropped the pretense, lifted his coat to reveal a small portable TV: "Giants vs. Cowboys."

"You watched a football match at a funeral?"

Chandler remained silent.

"Of course not."

Joey said seriously, "This is just the preliminary round. I'll watch the official competition at the reception later."

"You are a truly terrifying person."

Chandler concludes.

"Actually, it's not so bad."

Adam chuckled from the side, "Monica's grandmother was very old, and she passed away peacefully in her sleep, so it's actually a happy death. Look at Monica's parents and aunts, how much grief do they have?"

"Right?"

Joey defiantly raised his chin at Chandler.

Monica!

Adam, too lazy to deal with the daily routine of these two best buddies, called out to Monica.

"What's wrong?"

Monica was enduring decades of relentless attacks from her mother and was nearing her breaking point. Hearing Adam's call, she rushed over as if it were a divine decree.

Do you know who that middle-aged man standing next to your grandmother's coffin was at the memorial service?

Adam asked curiously.

"You mean Mr. Deakin?"

Monica's grasp of interpersonal relationships was far superior to Ross's. Adam mentioned it, she immediately recognized the person and quickly gave the answer, "He is the owner of this funeral home and the mortician."

"Has it always been like this?"

Adam pressed for an answer.

"I think so."

Monica thought for a moment and replied, "I first saw him in high school. He was so handsome and manly back then. I, no, I, Rachel, even had a crush on him."

"He was here ten years ago?"

Adam was somewhat surprised and asked again, "Does he have a daughter?"

"It seems not."

Monica shook her head and said, "I vaguely heard that he lost his wife when he was young and didn't even have a child. He was once the most famous Diamond Bachelor in the area."

Many women, even girls, had a crush on him, but he never remarried. Everyone said it was because he loved his wife too much.

He was very kind and well-liked, but because of his profession, he rarely interacted with people except at funerals. If it weren't for this funeral, I would have almost forgotten about him.

"I have neither a daughter nor children."

Adam raised an eyebrow; it seemed he wasn't the strongest dad on Earth anymore.

Why are you so curious about him?

Monica asked curiously.

"Because someone has a crush on him."

Adam joked, "Since you've been spying on him so often, I'll ask you if you have a wife and daughters, just in case someone makes a mistake!"

"Ah!"

Monica gasped in surprise, her face instantly turning red.

Because the person Adam was referring to was her. Although she used the pretense that Rachel had a crush on Mr. Deakin, she was actually the one who had the strongest crush on him back then.

She has always had little resistance to men like Mr. Deakin, who are mature, charming, and affectionate.

"Hehe."

Adam smiled, stopping there, and didn't continue the teasing.

It's not really appropriate to talk about these things now, since it's Monica's grandmother's funeral.

Moreover, he didn't think Monica would be happier with a man so much older than her than with Chandler in the future.

This made him think again that Chandler was a mother-lover, while Monica was a father-lover, and it was quite interesting that they ended up together.

After the funeral.

It's March already.

Columbia University's spring break has arrived.

Unlike universities in the East Country United States universities, in addition to winter and summer breaks, also have a unique spring break, which usually takes place in March, in the middle of the semester.

This holiday is specifically designed for university students. The duration varies from university to university, but it is generally one week or sometimes two weeks.

Spring is here.

College students who haven't had a chance to have fun since winter is naturally eager to go out and have some fun.

Adam has already made arrangements with Juno and Karen to officially begin hunting and practicing surgical skills.

Money makes the world go round, and in a short time, the real estate agent got everything done according to Adam's requirements.

Adam also applied for a gun license, and it was approved without a doubt.

Then, with his credentials, he went to a gun shop and bought rifles, hunting rifles and bullets, as well as composite bows and arrows, medical equipment and medicines, food and drinks, and so on.

After everything was loaded onto the vehicle, we set off towards the location of the Cabin in the Woods.

Juno and Karen met in Hartford, the capital of Connecticut.

The Cabin in the Woods is nearby.

Because this place is located between New York and Boston, Adam and Juno set off by phone and met up smoothly in Hartford two hours later.

Then they went to Walmart and bought local hunting licenses, including a lot of different animal licenses.

That's right!

Hunting licenses can be bought directly at Walmart. Surprising, isn't it?

Afterwards, they found the real estate agent who was already waiting, and the three cars formed a convoy, driving to the Cabin in the Woods.

When they arrived, they found that the electric fence had already been set up outside, just as Adam had requested.

Led by the real estate agent, they toured the cottage, checked that all the improvements met their requirements, signed the check, and under the real estate agent's suggestive gaze, Adam and his two companions moved in.

They are going to have a wonderful and exciting week.
