Why it never ends

Chapter 274
"... Where did you hear this name?"

"I have my own news channel." Qianye deliberately put off, "Why do you put on such an expression, are you scared when you hear this name?"

"What nonsense!" Old Charlie stood up with the support of the table, "If it wasn't for me, she and her mother Sylvia would have been found dead on the street...Herieta, I gave her the name, I think Watching her grow up, and being kind to her like a mountain... What do you want to do by telling me this all of a sudden?"

"You took it for her?"

Old Charlie heard the sarcasm in Chiba's tone: "What's the problem?"

"I don't quite understand what's the point of you lying about this kind of thing." Qianye folded her arms and began to admire the furnishings in the room. "I look easy to lie?"

"...Why do you say I'm lying to you?"

"Because this name was drawn up by her grandmother before she was born." Qianye said softly, "Volva's first daughter will be named Helieta, if there are other children in the future, you can It's called Helllan, Grofe... but it seems that there is only one child in Volva."

A series of names fell, like a flock of birds arriving unexpectedly, suddenly causing many waves in the depths of the old man's memory.

"... Volva." The old man murmured.

"It's only been 12 years, I guess you can't forget it...By the way, can I ask who are those girls outside?"

"It's none of your business... what are you doing here tonight?"

"It's nothing, I just think it's enough for you to be their grandfather at your age, but they call you 'Master' again, this..."

"enough--"

"Volva was only 20 years old when she died," Chiba's voice also rose, and then she resumed her usual banter, "She must be very beautiful, right?"

The old man's throat moved, and his withered face was wrinkled all over, and the brown spots were caught in the wrinkles, like a pile of dirt that could never be washed off.

Old Charlie took a deep breath, his vicious eyes looked from the left side of the table to the right side of the table, but he didn't dare to look directly at Chiba.

"...Who on earth sent you here? Is it Helietta? I know that the livable land in the third district has not been peaceful recently. The nobles who killed Silvia in the past are all dying one by one..." the old man Charlie said in a low voice, "I can probably guess who did it. I want to say, well done."

Chiba said nothing.

Old Charlie glanced carefully at Chiba's expression, she was still standing there motionless.

The old man thought for a moment: "I have never told anyone about raising her. I knew she had become a mercury needle the year the St. Anne's Monastery was on fire. I never wanted to get involved with your organization... I will also Won't talk about it with anyone."

Chiba still didn't speak.

Old Charlie was suspicious—it didn't seem like that was what she wanted to hear, either.

"I was very kind to Helietta in Short Ming Lane." Old Charlie narrowed his eyes. "I taught her marksmanship, and she is also very talented. I almost regard her as my own daughter. I even almost became her father—"

Chiba nodded, "Okay."

Old Charlie was puzzled. He recalled what he said just now, trying to decipher the possible key points from it.

"...What exactly do you want to know?" he asked in a low voice. "Who are you here for? Helieta? Or Volva? Are you also a Hesta?"

Chiba ignored all of old Charlie's questions, and she bent down to pick up the small-caliber rifle on the ground. This action immediately aroused old Charlie's vigilance.

"What are you going to do?"

"During this time, there is a question that I have been unable to understand," Qianye removed the muffler on the gun, and threw it aside, "Why did Volva suddenly enter the city?"

"...How do I know that?" The old man slowly moved his hand to the side drawer, "Although Volva's fate is a bit too tragic, all women who are greedy and hate the poor and love the rich will eventually suffer their own consequences... On this point, God has shown his fairness."

"Really? But those old nobles have been looking for the red-haired Hesta people in the wasteland since 4617," Chiba said with a smile, "tell me, why did she wait until two years later to throw herself into the trap?" ?”

"This question...you can go to the ground and ask her yourself!"

Old Charlie suddenly took out the pistol in the hidden compartment, and shot a bullet precisely towards Qianye's forehead, but the next moment, the bullet was caught in Qianye's hand.

Old Charlie gasped: "Water...mercury needle?"

Chiba casually picked up the rifle, and directly pierced old Charlie's right hand, blood spattered, and the old man's pistol fell.

"Who are you..." Sweat dripped from the old man's forehead, and he endured severe pain, trying to see the true face of the person in front of him, "Herietta...is that you?"

"What else do you want to say?" Chiba put the muzzle of the gun on old Charlie's heart.

"I... I used to... really loved your mother..." Old Charlie held the gun in vain, "forgive me...forgive me Helietta..."

"I don't quite understand this kind of thing," Chiba smiled, "I just want to ask you, this time your chance to enter the livable place in the third district was won by you from some mercury needles in the coalition government , huh? You made a deal of some sort."

Old Charlie's forehead suddenly bulged with blue veins.

"You told them that you may have guessed who the assassin was. Although there is no real evidence, but because you gave the key clue of 'Volva', they are still willing to give you the opportunity to enter the habitable place. Then'everything Interview'."

"Cough...cough...no...it's not what you think—"

"Don't get me wrong, I don't think it's bad for you to do this. After all, if you don't do this, I really can't find you."

Old Charlie blushed, blood was bubbling from his arteries, and he opened his mouth in an attempt to defend himself, but no more words came out.

"Actually, I'm still grateful to you." Chiba's smile slowly faded, "If it wasn't for you stealing a smuggling quota from the Valerie Federation and sending Hesta into a livable place, Then nothing will happen today—you changed her destiny, and in a sense, mine.

"In return, I won't let you die too painfully."

Before old Charlie could feel more fear, the muzzle of the rifle had pierced his heart.

With a protruding right eye and a hideous face, he could only watch all this happen.

Chiba pulled out the gun neatly, and old Charlie fell to the ground, blood soaking the carpet under him.

About 2 minutes later, old Charlie's body was thrown from the corridor on the second floor to the living room on the first floor. This sudden turn of events frightened the other people in the room to scream.

"I'll give you three minutes to pack your things," Chiba said in a deep voice, "In three minutes, I'm going to set fire to this building."
