"Jinx?"
The monster's face was still terrifying, a combination of human and beast features, with fangs protruding from its lips, a thick nose, and fur covering its entire face. Its Kog'Maw revealed irregular, sharp teeth that were very conspicuous when it opened and closed.
But one of his eyes was very gentle. It had different colored eyes, one bright yellow and the other warm blue, with a hint of embarrassment in the blue eye.
Vander stared blankly at Jinx. He had just woken up, and looking ahead, he felt as if he had slept for a very long time, as if he were entangled in a spider web or crushed by a boulder. Vander was completely bewildered until he opened his eyes and saw Li Ke.
Then, the unfamiliar young man riding on his back suddenly called out his name and also said his own name: Li Ke.
Li Ke Vander remembered the name; it was a boy from the Black Alley, like Silco, with black hair, but a gentle and somewhat timid personality. Wait, how did he grow up so much?
It was only then that Vander realized something: it seemed as if he, who had been dead, had come back to life?
Moreover, it became a monster that was neither human nor beast.
Back to the present, the girl in front of me with blue hair and two extremely long braids didn't say anything, but her actions directly revealed her identity.
She rushed forward and hugged Vander tightly. Her arms couldn't encircle Vander broad body, so she pressed herself tightly against his belly, burying her face in his large stomach, her thin shoulders trembling.
Vander paused, then his blue eyes softened, and he raised his large paw to place it on the girl's head, his movements careful and gentle.
The scene was truly explosive. People around were a little trembling as they watched, because the huge claw was bigger than Jinx's head. Everyone believed that the sharp claw could easily pierce through Jinx's skull with a single extension.
"You've grown so big already?"
Vander's voice was filled with emotion as he embraced Jinx and gently continued, "I'm so sorry I couldn't be there for you as you grew up, my daughter."
Jinx didn't say anything, just lowered her head and sobbed. Then, as if she had thought of something, she suddenly let go of Vander and turned to look at Vi, who was standing there in a daze.
Raising her chin, Jinx's eyes no longer held any aggression towards Vi, and she said, "Sister, what are you waiting for?"
"Wei?" Vander finally noticed Wei.
With red hair, a leather jacket, a nose ring, and tattoos under her eyes, she looked very different from the Vi I remembered, but Vander recognized her immediately.
Upon seeing Wei, Vander was both excited and angry.
The exciting thing is that both of his daughters are still alive and have grown up healthy.
What's infuriating is that he said Wei wasn't allowed to have tattoos, right?
Jinx is still the same Jinx, obedient and cute, with a clean body and no tattoos. But Wei, what happened to you?
Why are you still so rebellious!
However, Vander didn't say such a thing, because Wei looked too aggrieved and too sad.
That look broke Vander's heart.
"Vander" Vi took a deep breath, stepped forward, stood beside Jinx, and looked up at the "monster" in front of her.
The impact of this body was so great that Wei couldn't believe the real thing was Vander, but after meeting those eyes, Wei pursed her lips.
There have been changes in appearance, but this is indeed Vander.
Your own eyes don't lie.
So Vi opened her arms and put one hand on Jinx's small shoulder. Jinx just pouted, but didn't shake off Vi's arm, letting Vi hug her.
This was the first time Vi had actually hugged her sister since meeting Jinx, while Vi's other arm was wrapped around Vander.
Vander opened his arms and embraced his two daughters.
Li Ke, standing nearby, wondered if he should step in and give Vander a hug as well.
He felt he was qualified to be a member of this family!
Leaving aside his relationship with Jinx, let's talk about his relationship with Vander. Can't he just call Daddy Vander?
A voice suddenly rang out, interrupting the father and daughter's reunion.
"Vander, long time no see. Judging from your appearance, you haven't been doing too well these past few years." Silco stepped out from the crowd, his hands behind his back, and said to Vander.
Hearing Silco's voice, Vander looked up and asked in surprise, "How are you still alive?"
"?" Silco considered all the things Vander had said.
For example, you might verbally abuse him, hypocritically say you forgive him, or react impulsively by rushing up and attacking him.
However, Silco truly did not expect that the first thing Vander would say to him upon seeing him would be like this.
Seeing Silco standing there in a daze, Vander said in a deep voice, "Li Ke told me he's the Boss of the Black Alley now. I thought you'd already been killed by Li Ke."
Silco's lips twitched slightly, and he raised an eyebrow, saying, "Then you're really overthinking it."
"I have a very good relationship with Li Ke. Every time he sees me, he calls me affectionately, 'Uncle.'"
"Silco, he called me 'Dad.'" Vander released his grip on his two daughters and strode over to Silco.
Step by step, his aura grew stronger and stronger. When he reached Silco, the aura of the King of the Black Alley returned to Vander, and combined with Vander's inhuman body, this aura became even more terrifying.
He looked down at Silco, his fangs bared and his eyes fierce.
"Don't you have anything to say to me, Silco?"
Compared to Vander, Silco was thin and short, but his aura was in no way inferior to Vander's.
Yes, you're the king of the Black Alley, but what about me?
I'm the Zaun Godfather.
He stood ramrod straight, looking at Vander and meeting his gaze.
His eyes were gloomy and cold.
Jinx, standing beside Li Ke, was extremely worried seeing this scene. Both Vander and Silco were very important people to Jinx.
She Vander, but she also Silco.
Without Silco, she wouldn't have grown up so smoothly. Perhaps Silco instilled many strange ideas in her during her upbringing, but Silco's love for her is undeniable.
Those ideas were extreme, but they did indeed become Jinx's weapons.
Not to mention, in chaotic places, kindness is only trampled upon.
"Don't be nervous~" Li Ke reached out and patted Jinx's shoulder.
"Li Ke, they're about to start fighting!"
Upon hearing this, Li Ke smiled and shook his head, "It'll be alright, Jinx. You wouldn't understand the bond between men."
Li Ke said affirmatively.
What do you think I should say?
"That's your problem, Silco," Vander said in a deep voice.
"."
"Okay, I do have something to say to you."
Silco's coldness lessened slightly, and he said sarcastically:
"I really never thought I'd see you again. I thought we'd meet in hell, especially since you look fucking weird right now."
Am I ugly?
"What the hell do you think?" Silco cursed.
Vander laughed.
