Chapter 23 The Tinder of Hope!

The latest website: Brotherhood!

Esther murmured the name in a low voice, and he looked up at Edmond.

The former senior C-level personnel, now the director of the Angcheng site, said word by word: "All members are brothers, and all members are family members. Let's unite as one to fight the crisis together!"

Hearing those words, Esther's eyes lit up.

Isn't that what he wants?

Isn't that what he expected?

call!

Esther took a deep breath.

"As expected of Senior Edmond, your kindness has always been my guiding light."

"It is the luck of my life to meet you."

Esther said seriously.

"If possible, I hope to continue to be a salted fish... In the past, present, and future, I will be a salted fish."

Edmond said with a wry smile.

He didn't hide anything in front of Esther and was honest about his thoughts.

"But there are always people who don't allow it!"

"I also want to live to be 100 years old in peace, but there are always people in the way!"

"It's not us that's wrong, it's the world that's wrong!"

Esther nodded, agreeing with Edmond.

He actually wanted salted fish too.

What's wrong with salted fish?

The feeling of messing around is simply not too cool.

Therefore, in order to have a better life, we must kill all threats in the cradle.

"We need to do one thing now."

Edmond became serious.

Est, who guessed something, immediately stood up and bowed slightly.

"Follow your footsteps."

...

Percy stood in front of the balcony of the apartment, raising her hand to gently stroke her already bulging belly.

This is the crystallization of her love with Warren.

Although it was an accident at first, such an accident is full of surprises.

is a gift.

Passy still remembers Warren's helpless appearance when he found out that he was about to become a father. He was so big and three thick that he approached him cautiously, put his ear to his stomach, and wanted to listen to the birth of the little life.

Then, he worked harder.

He wants his children to have a better environment.

She hopes too.

However, she preferred him to be safe.

After getting married, a non-disclosure agreement allowed her to guess her husband's work slightly.

This made her a little frightened, but Warren always smiled and said it was okay.

Because he has a group of reliable comrades and partners.

And she could only support him and wait for him to come home.

Today is no exception.

At five o'clock in the afternoon, the door rang on time.

Boom, boom, boom!

With a smile, Percy walked quickly to the door, and then he saw Edmond and Esther.

This is Warren's colleague and superior, and she met the two of them at the wedding.

And then... not seeing Warren.

The faces of the two were solemn and sad.

Percy's face paled.

"Warren he..."

"terribly sorry."

Edmond and Esther bowed their heads.

Percy's eyes turned red, and tears began to flow.

"It's his pension."

Edmond handed Percy a pledge containing a check.

Passy didn't answer, and Edmond could only put it on the cabinet beside him.

"This Warren's life is nothing compared to it, but it can make you and your child live better."

"Wallen's death does not mean that you are helpless."

"The 'fraternity' takes care of you, including your children."

Aite Simon squatted down, approached Passy in a half-kneeling position, and said softly.

"The Brotherhood is Warren's organization?"

asked Percy.

"Do not."

"It was because of Warren's death that I decided to form a 'fraternity'. I don't want tragedy to happen again."

Edmond confessed.

"It wasn't just Warren who died?"

Passy quickly regained her composure, and asked while rubbing her stomach.

"Well, I lost a lot of friends today."

"Warren is one of them."

Edmond nodded.

"Can I join the Brotherhood?"

asked Percy.

"certainly."

"Whether you join or not, the Brotherhood will be your eternal backing, and... your children."

Eddmond looked at Percy, who had been stroking his stomach, and guessed what Percy was most worried about.

"I'll join!"

Percy said without hesitation.

Warren is dead.

Warren's children are still there.

She wants to make Warren's children safer.

Women are soft, but mothers are tough.

Esther looked at the mother who quickly restrained his emotions with admiration, and he knelt down on one knee.

"All members are brothers, and all members are family members. We are united to fight the crisis together!"

"Warren's children, we will be our own children."

"He or she?"

"he!"

Esther's solemnity made Percy slightly relieved, and she replied in a low voice.

"Does he have a name?"

Esther continued to ask.

"Yes, Warren named him."

"Stark."

"Stark?"

"Good name, I swear by the name of the 'fraternity', Stark, you will grow up healthy, you will receive the best education, and you will have everything other children have."

Edmond and Esther knelt down on one knee and swore to Percy and the child in their womb.

Passy hugged her stomach, she knew she had to control her emotions, but at this time, she couldn't hold back the tears.

"thanks."

She was weeping and crying.

...

The Warren's was the first home Edmond and Esther visited.

But it was only the first one that made the two feel suffocating grief.

"Senior Edmond, can I rest for ten minutes before going to the next house?"

Astor asked.

"Can."

Edmond nodded.

He, too, was a little unbearable.

The atmosphere in the car is quiet.

Quietly depressing.

Finally, Esther, who had just said to take a ten-minute break, suggested driving again.

Edmond has no objection.

Quick is the second person, a single father who lives with a five-year-old boy whose wife has long since disappeared from the other's life.

When Eddmond and Esther appeared in front of the kindergarten, they saw a boy who was much stronger than his peers standing at the door of the kindergarten, with a standard posture and not looking sideways, like a small soldier.

"Quake really wasn't a good father."

Edmond said.

"yes."

Esther nodded.

"Uncle Edmond, Uncle Esther."

The little boy had seen the two of them and addressed them with a slightly stereotyped name.

"Children have to smile."

"remember……"

"Did my father have an accident?"

Esther was about to say something when the little boy interrupted him.

Esther looked at the little boy in surprise.

"My father came to pick me up on time every day, and if he didn't show up, something had happened to him - he said that, and then he told me to go to Uncle Edmond."

The little boy walked towards the car of the two while talking.

This made Esther, who had prepared many drafts and was even prepared to tell white lies, stunned for a while.

"Bastard Quick."

After Eddmond cursed in a low voice, he strode up.

"Kratos, you sit in the back, remember to fasten your seat belt."

Edmond urged.

Esther became the co-pilot and watched Kratos fasten his seat belt before signaling that Edmond could drive.

The third is Clive.

His ordinary-looking girlfriend received Edmond and Esther calmly.

"Can I join the Brotherhood?"

the lady asked.

"Yes, but you are still young, you can start a new life again..."

"Is life after the loss of a loved one still called life?"

The lady interrupted Esther.

Edmond reached out his hand, and the lady shook it without hesitation.

"Welcome to join, Danvers."

The fourth is Edwin.

Edmond and Esther needed to face an old couple who had lost their son, which made Edmond and Esther hesitate. In the end, Edmond gritted his teeth and stepped forward and rang the doorbell.

It was Edwin's mother who opened the door, the old man leaning on a cane.

His father, wearing reading glasses, put down the newspaper in his hand and looked here.

Under such gazes, Edmond and Esther's legs were filled with lead, making it difficult to move a single step.

Two old people who have experienced decades of years have seen something.

"Come in and have a cup of tea."

said the old woman.

The elderly man silently put away the newspaper, took off his glasses, and motioned the two to sit down.

Edmond and Esther were on pins and needles.

The former took out the envelope containing the check.

"If you need it, you can contact us."

"I set up an organization called the Brotherhood, and it will treat you like family, I swear."

Edmond promises.

Est also swears.

The two old men had sad faces, but under such sadness, they patted their shoulders.

"we believe."

"Edwin will believe it too."

The old woman said, and then, the old woman on crutches seemed to have thought of something, she said: "Eddie should be called Medivh, he remembers it wrong, he has been wrong since he was a child, but Eddie The writing is also good."

About fifteen minutes later, Edmond and Esther fled from here.

Facing the old couple, the sense of powerlessness of the two reached a peak at this time.

While driving, Esther glanced at the house number.

"It's really Medivh, not Edvh."

He spoke softly.

Then, Esther said straight.

"Jones' sister is in college, not in Ang City, let's go directly to Rodney?"

Esther was a little fortunate.

Enough sadness today.

It's good to meet a little less.

"Um."

Edmond nodded.

Edmond is very familiar with the Rodneys, and he often spends weekends tackling the family barbecue.

"Uncle Edmond."

As soon as the car stopped, a handsome boy ran out.

He smiled, but soon that smile was replaced by crying.

Like Quick, Rodney is a single dad.

But Rodney's education was obviously much more normal, but it was because of this normality that Edmond and Esther became helpless, and at this time, the back door of the car was pushed open.

Young Kratos walked down.

He looked at his peers who had seen him several times.

"Don't cry."

"Tears only make warriors weak!"

"We should be fearless!"

Kratos raised his hand and took the hand of his peers and walked towards the back of the car.

Esther opened his mouth to say something, but nothing came out.

Edmond just said a word.

"Logan, fasten your seat belt."

The car started again.

This time, the car drove towards the fight gym.

Not to leave the two children in the care of Jason or Arras.

Edmond was crazy to give his two children to Jason, the 'masked man'.

Arras?

Yes, biologically, Arras is a lady.

But Edmond never considered a lady who could withstand a small-caliber pistol bullet with her muscles to be a lady.

He just wanted to talk to Jason and Arras about something.

It's about the gluttonous society, the Hydra and the Brotherhood.

The Brotherhood is in the Ming Dynasty, the Hydra is hidden in the dark, and the gluttonous will reign supreme.

He had already thought of such a statement.

Because, he knows very well that if there is no high-end stand like Jason, an organization like them is just a joke.

Bang, bang!

Just parked in the back alley of the fight gym.

The sound of gunshot-like sounds echoed inside the car.

"do not worry."

"This is an actual combat drill between Lord Jason and Lord Arras."

"Their battle...a little bit fierce."

Esther explained to the two children in the back seat.

However, beyond Esther's expectations, both Kratos and Logan were attracted at this time, and the two children stared straight at the lighted fighting gym.

Logan, who was crying softly just now, completely forgot the crying at this time.

He raised his hand and climbed on the window.

Kratos showed his yearning without hesitation.

Watching this scene, Edmond couldn't help but smile.

Boys, even at a young age, some things are etched in their bones.

For example: fighting, firearms, etc.

This is the same reason that little girls like dolls.

However, Edmond still won't let the two children enter the fight gym.

"Watch them."

Edmond told Esther.

"Okay, senior."

After watching Aster make a reassuring gesture, Edmond walked towards the fight gym.

Boom, boom, boom.

There was a knock on the door, and the fierce fighting stopped slightly.

After a while, the door opened.

Jason's figure appeared behind the door.

Shirtless, sweating profusely, panting slightly.

Without any inquiries, he took a step back and motioned for Edmond to come in.

Jason was next to Esther when he was notified of the 'asylum'. Although he didn't know what happened next, Edmond's presence here was enough to explain everything.

"Master Jason, I'm sorry to bother you."

"But some things must be told to you."

"I set up another organization outside the Hydra and Taotie Club."

Edmond told Jason everything in detail.

When he said this, Edmond was apprehensive. He was worried that Jason would refuse, but beyond his expectations, Jason nodded succinctly.

"You don't object?"

Edmond asked.

"What reason do I have against it?"

Jason asked back.

"Can……"

Edmond wanted to say something else, when he suddenly saw Jason wiggling his nose slightly, and the corners of his mouth turned up unconsciously.
