Chapter 147 The Thread of Destiny

[Shuguang 152, October 3, 19:02]

In a high-end apartment in the Lakeside Business District, a family in Room 601 was chatting and laughing while eating. Plates of attractively colored and fragrant dishes were placed on the dining table.

Nannan is a first-year student at the Chiyang Affiliated Primary School in Crescent City. She was born in the summer of Dawn 145. She has been lively and cute since she was a child, and has excellent grades. Her parents regard her as their pride.

After finishing dinner, Nannan sat on the chair and swayed her calves: "Mom, the teacher gave us homework today and asked us to help our parents with housework. You guys eat quickly, I will wash the dishes today~"

Mom smiled softly and said, "It's okay, Mom can wash the dishes, so don't bother our daughter."

"Hmm~ No, when I grow up, I want to help my parents!" Nannan put her dishes and chopsticks in the sink, picked up a rag and dishwashing liquid and started cleaning them.

Her movements were not very skillful, and she accidentally squeezed in too much dishwashing liquid, causing a lot of bubbles in the sink.

More and more bubbles were washed, and more and more were washed. She stood there helplessly, blushing and sticking out her tongue at her parents.

The young couple laughed, and the father began to clean up the mess on the dining table. The mother came to the sink and held her little hand: "Come on, good baby, mommy will teach you how to wash."

Nannan is very smart and learns well quickly. She washes the dishes and chopsticks cleanly while singing the newly learned songs in school.

At this time, my father looked at the clock and reminded: "Nanny, hurry up and change your clothes. Isn't your school organizing a movie tonight? The school bus is coming soon."

Nannan: "Yeah, let's go."

My mother, who was arranging the disinfection cabinet, raised her head and asked, "I originally said I would go next week, why did you arrive today so early?"

Dad said while putting on his coat: "Nanny's school has temporarily arranged a safety drill next week. It is probably because of the mercenary incident that was on the news some time ago. The movie watching activity has been moved forward to today."

My mother was a little worried: "Since it's been so chaotic lately, we should go out less often."

Dad comforted him: "The teachers are all here for the activities organized by the school, and we are going to a shopping mall. What's there to worry about? Nanny, we are going to go downstairs."

"Okay~ Here we go!" Nannan put on her coat and jumped out of the house.

Mom gently warned: "Nanny, please be careful on the road. Follow your teachers and classmates closely and don't run around alone."

"I know, goodbye, mom!" Nannan waved and went downstairs with her father.

The time was right, the school bus had just arrived, and the orange buses were lined up in an orderly manner, looking like big oranges under the street lights.

These are school buses from Chiyang Affiliated Primary School, carrying first-grade children who go to participate in group activities. There are 315 teachers and students in total.

Dad said to the head teacher, Xiaomei: "I'll leave it to you."

Teacher Xiaomei smiled sweetly and said, "Don't worry, I will take good care of her."

Nannan walked onto the school bus, laughing and joking with the oncoming classmates. She sat down in her seat and said to her father's milky voice outside the window: "Dad, I have to leave first! When I go home in the evening, I want to eat the pudding you made~"

Dad smiled softly: "Okay, Dad will make pudding at home and wait for my daughter to come home!"

In the Crow's Nest Base in the Border District, the largest main conference room was lit with residual lights and was rarely full of people.

A long table stretches across the conference room. At the main seat is an old man holding a dragon-headed staff and wearing a top hat. He is dressed in a raven-like black robe, and his whole person is like an ink-colored flower.

Hong Quan Sheng, the leader of Crow's Nest, is also the frontier ruler who is now more than ten thousand people.

The other core members of Crow's Nest were seated at the long table, all silently watching Hong Quansheng.

Hong Quansheng spoke slowly, his voice low and hoarse: "You know everything, right? Fenrir punched through the rust wall."

Someone asked: "Why did she do this?"

Hong Quansheng said calmly: "Maybe it's a response to our deal with the mercenaries, maybe it's been planned for a long time. The reason is not important anymore."

"The important thing is that now the entire border is shaken by Fenrir, and all major groups have bowed to the power of Wolf Raid. Our influence is about to fall to the freezing point."

Next to Hong Quansheng, a cold voice sounded: "The status of the Crow's Nest cannot be shaken, we are the real kings of the border."

"Since the wolf attacked through the rust wall and shocked everyone, what we have to do is to respond with even greater terror!"

The speaker was a man wearing a haori. The hair on his head was shaved off, leaving only the hair on the sides and back of his head, just like a samurai from ancient times.

Hong Quansheng looked at the warrior and asked profoundly: "Muto Toei, are you ready for that?"

Muto Toei nodded vigorously and said in a deep voice: "I have moved all my dear family members to a safe place long ago. I have no worries and can fight for the great cause of Crow's Nest at any time."

Hong Quansheng nodded and stood up with the dragon head staff, and the other black figures also stood up.

"Everyone, maybe the Crow's Nest has been dominant for too long. The border areas have become accustomed to our existence. After getting used to it, they gradually ignored and ignored us, so that they forgot who is the master here."

"Those groups felt that the wolf attack through the rust wall was so appalling that it could challenge the crow's nest status."

"But in my opinion, Wolf Raid's actions are just children's play. They don't know what deterrence is, let alone what kind of existence we are."

"Today, let those who have forgotten the past wake up and remind them of the horrors of the Crow's Nest and what the true King of the Border is."

Hong Quansheng stretched out the dragon-head staff in his hand, and Muto Toei knelt down on one knee beside him, with fanatical flames burning in his eyes.

Hong Quansheng tapped his dragon-headed stick on his shoulder and said meaningfully: "I wish you good luck in martial arts, Mr. Muto."

At Odiana's manor in Anmi New District, the dinner party has ended and the guests are preparing to return.

Su Mo looked at the dimly lit night, with thoughts swirling in his mind.

The dinner was about what he expected. There was some progress in relations with the authorities, but not much.

He got to know powerful officials in the government like Jacob, but it was just an "acquaintance".

Some small things that are not troublesome may be convenient.

But to say it is a "backer" is far from enough.

But it doesn't matter, he still has a unique opportunity.

This opportunity will appear a week later on October 10th.

He had to hold on to it.

Not just because it concerns your future.

Also because he wants to prevent something.

Su Mo didn't want to see the tragic scene in the game happen again in reality.

Two cars drove into the manor, both arranged by O'Diana, to see off Jacob and Sumer respectively.

Sumer and O'Diana put Jacob in the car and said, "See you next time, Mr. Jacob."

Jacob's face was rosy and he smelled of alcohol. He reached out his hand from the car window and shook hands with the two of them: "Ms. Earl, and Xiao Su, see you next time."

He leaned back on the sofa in the back seat, took out his mobile phone in silent mode, turned on the screen and said, "Why are there so many missed calls?"

He pressed the dial button, and after being connected, he said: "Hey, I was just eating, what's the matter?"

The windows were closed, blocking out all sounds.

O'Diana immediately sent Sumo and Dongdong into the car.

She nodded slightly to Su Mo and said, "Take care, young lady."

Sumer: "Take care, Countess."

McCarter tapped the accelerator and drove Su Mo away slowly.

Destiny is like an invisible thread, without a shadow, but secretly involving each other.

Across Crescent City, three people who had never met and seemed to have no intersection did not know that their fate changed forever tonight.
