old dream

Chapter 72 Everything that dies quickly

Because there are still many details to consider, Colin did not immediately respond to Julieo.

After he walked out of the living room, Ricardo, who was waiting in the stairwell, put away the gun he was playing with and greeted him.

Because of the situation on Julio's side, Colin wanted to remind him again not to mention the title "manly" everywhere - not only because it was too goosebumps and embarrassing himself, but also some confidentiality issues.

Then he thought again that everyone in the warehouse that night had probably heard of this title.When the rumors first started to spread, I should have thought of the existing problems. I waited until now to stop them, and it was probably too late.

Ricardo seemed to be in a good mood today, with a smile on his face most of the time.

Colin asked him if something good happened to him, Ricardo touched his face, as if he just found out that he had been laughing.A thin layer of stubble had just emerged on his shaved head, and with that smile... Those who have nothing to do can easily be infected by that simple joy.

"Because you are finally willing to join the Chestalo family." He said this, with unconscious joy in his tone:
"You, Luka, plus me, what do you think?"

"A new gang of scumbags?" Colin joked.

"No no no, can there be a better combination in the world? We've been doing things together for a long time, and we've never failed. Don't know why we keep getting further and further apart, but now we're finally back together. "

His eyes were shining brightly, and he described to Colin excitedly what he saw:
"I'm relatively useless, but as long as you work with Luca, it's invincible. I can't find another description - invincible! What Marizio, Barain, wait and see for me, see Who will be the strongest in Nanstad in the future!"

He has admired Colin and Luca since he was a child, and it is no wonder that he is so excited now.Down the aisle, the gunman who was guarding the stair window glanced at this side intentionally or unintentionally. Colin patted Ricardo on the shoulder as a reminder to be quiet.

At the same time, he secretly sighed in his heart.

I heard that not long ago, Ricardo's rib fracture was discovered by his father.The stubborn man had long suspected that his child hadn't returned to the right path after being released from prison, so he didn't listen to any explanation, and regardless of Ricardo's injury, he immediately beat him to half death with a stick.After being stopped by his mother, the old father spat fiercely on the ground, and gritted his teeth to ask him to get out of the house forever.

This is not the first time something like this has happened. Ricardo will always say that he just held back and did not do anything, but if there is another time, he is likely to fight back fiercely.But Colin knew he would never do it, after all, Cincily's children never hit their father anyway.

In prison, most frequently injured, and the relationship with the family is irretrievably stiff.Of Colin's acquaintances, Ricardo seems to have always been the one who paid the most for gang activity.

But all this did not detract from the kind of innocence and enthusiasm in his heart. He was like a moth to a flame, and he devoted himself to this profession that was neither noble nor destined to have no future.

Ricardo's old father, who believes that Colin really only works in Holy One Seminary, is a decent and outstanding person, so he will always provide warm hospitality when Colin passes by their house, and let Ricardo take him to him. As a role model, he sometimes sent some fresh fruit to his uncle's mansion.

A few years ago, when they were still living in the refugee shelter, Ricardo's father had given Colin a lot of care.In those difficult and chaotic years, the man who had raised three children also worked diligently to maintain his integrity. While he was busy for survival, he did not forget to offer simple worship to the lamp girl Valeria every week.

So sometimes Colin feels a little guilty about Ricardo. After all, in a sense, Ricardo grew up with him, and he is actually obliged to let Ricardo return to the normal trajectory of his life.

Unlike himself, he has no last resort, and there are still people waiting for him to go home.

But all the advice was to no avail.Ricardo has always maintained a blind enthusiasm for gang activities, which keeps everyone confused.

Colin had thought about many reasons that led him to this path, and found that the reasons were all over the place.For example, poverty, such as his father who worked hard but still had to bow his knees to others.Even, those stacked fruits in his parent's store, the traits that will rot in just a few days...I'm afraid all of these will leave a subtle impression in his heart, such as honest and kind people will never have a way out, poverty is abominable, and That short life is passing by quickly.

However, in the end Colin realized that the impression that made the final decision for Ricardo probably came from Luca and himself.It was precisely because of the seemingly glorious performances of himself and Luca at that time that Ricardo became more obsessed with this path than other children, and he will never forget it ever since.

He even regards the final success of Colin and Luca as his dream.

I remember he said not long ago that he wanted to be the eyes behind him.

It is a pity that this simple dream has gradually become clouded.After all, those relationships in the past are hard to come back.

Colin sighed secretly, if he could, he didn't want to really go against Luca.I am afraid that Luka has the same idea.

Now everything is still possible to save, but it is impossible for him to stop.

I don't know if Ricardo got any hints from Luca, such as "be careful of Colin in the future".

But judging from his excitement just now, maybe Luka hasn't mentioned it to him, or mentioned it, but he hasn't understood what it means.

Walking out of the apartment, Colin said to Ricardo inadvertently:
"If Luca plans to send me to another city in the future, will you follow me?"

"Of course, there's no need to ask?" Ricardo said inexplicably.

"But he wants you to stay?"

Colin tries to picture possible differences between himself and Luca with a relatively soft assumption.

"That depends on how you discuss it." Ricardo said, "What is the result of the discussion? I will just follow the decision."

He even thought that there was no possibility of a breakup between the two.

……

……

Two days later, Ke Lin came to Ji Lian's residence as usual.

The cracking of the four Zelan witchcrafts was smoother than Ji Lian imagined.

"Each one has been separated into the three major units of 'space', 'intention', and 'fuel'. The rest of the adjustment can probably be done by anyone who changes it."

She obviously didn't realize what kind of talent was needed in this seemingly ordinary thing.

Ji Li'an yawned sullenly. In fact, the original work had not been completed yet, but now that Colin had come, she wanted to be lazy.

And Ke Lin was still looking at her messy workbench, and couldn't calm down for a while... He suddenly wanted to know if there was a second company in the entire alliance that completed these separations?
