The sun was setting, the afterglow reflecting.
At the apartment entrance.
Melina's hair was wet, wrapped in a bath towel. Although she looked very tired, she was full of spirit, her eyes shining.
Especially the look in her eyes towards Samuel, anyone who saw it would feel that Samuel was very important to her.
Don't misunderstand!
Melina's appearance wasn't because Samuel did anything to her, but because she had injected the Super Soldier Serum.
Now she, like her 'fake husband' Alexei, was a Super Soldier.
Moreover, the quality was higher than his!
"I have other things to deal with. When I'm not around, you can go next door to find White Queen if you need anything."
"She will go with you to see Dreykov after your mission is completed, and then control him."
Samuel gave a few instructions, then turned and walked to the apartment next door.
The apartment next door had already been bought by White Queen using gold and Mind Manipulation Ability. The original owners had moved out, and all their daily necessities had been replaced.
"The Red Room is the second target of this crossing. Then the last target, I think it should be Wen and the Ten Rings Gang, right?"
After Samuel returned, White Queen guessed with a smile.
"Yes, and no!"
Samuel explained with a smile: "Wen and the Ten Rings Gang are actually not important. What interests me is the force behind his wife."
"That place is called Tuke, it's a place similar to K'un-Lun, both are independently existing pocket dimensions."
"There is a Soul-Devouring Monster sealed there that doesn't know which dimension it came from. It can devour souls. The people of Tuke Village have guarded the seal for generations, using the power of a Divine Dragon, silently protecting the World."
"Tuke opens once a year, and only a very small number of people know the legend of Tuke and its location."
White Queen had learned a lot about the Seven Capitals of Heaven from Nine-Spider Maiden, and also had some understanding of K'un-Lun.
A place similar to K'un-Lun was indeed worth Samuel's interest.
"Does this Tuke have any special power?" White Queen asked curiously.
Samuel's hands moved gently, and an invisible energy spontaneously arose, slowly growing stronger.
"What is this?" White Queen felt it.
"Dragon Force, a special power unique to Tuke Village."
Samuel explained with a smile: "This power comes from the Divine Dragon of Tuke Village. It is a power similar to Qi, and can increase the attributes of all aspects of the body to varying degrees."
White Queen asked with emotion: "Do all the people of Tuke Village possess Dragon Force?"
Samuel shook his head in amusement: "How is that possible? Only a few talented and fortunate people can comprehend Dragon Force. For example, Wen's wife, before she was abducted by Wen, she was the gatekeeper of Tuke Village."
"Since she possessed Dragon Force, why was she killed so easily by Wen's enemies?" White Queen was a little puzzled.
Samuel shrugged: "Because Wen and she wanted to stay and live in seclusion in Tuke Village, but they were refused. When they left, she also returned the Dragon Force to Tuke."
Speaking of this, Samuel sighed and continued: "Even without Dragon Force, she was a master of martial arts. It was just for the sake of her children that she had many reservations, and was ultimately beaten to death."
"If Wen had left a few subordinates to protect his wife and children, they wouldn't need to be very strong. As long as they took the children away or helped her bear some of the firepower, she wouldn't have died."
"Although Wen was later remorseful and angry, regretting and blaming himself, what was the use?"
Regretting after things happen?
What were you doing before!
Look at the things Wen did after his wife died: putting on the Ten Rings again, rebuilding the Ten Rings Gang, and training Sanji, who was still a child, into a killer.
Is this something a Father could do?
Most importantly, he was also patriarchal, brutally training his son while completely ignoring his daughter.
This eventually led to his son leaving him when he was fourteen, and his daughter leaving him when she was sixteen.
Then, they became enemies!
Although becoming enemies also had something to do with Sanji's brain damage, Wen's persona as a loving husband and his actions driven mad by love for his wife are really a bit unconvincing.
If the story's perspective wasn't Sanji's, not Wen's, but hers, then it would be a complete unresolved regret!
A goddess who lived in seclusion in Tuke Village, silently protecting the seal and the World, she had both beauty and strength. Just because she met a tyrant who had conquered the World for thousands of years, and was even her defeated opponent, she was captured by his heart because of her innocence and romance.
Ultimately, she gave up her mission, her people, and her power, left with him, gave birth to a son and a daughter for him, and lived a life of being a wife and teaching children.
That would have been fine.
But Wen's enemies happened to come to their door, and Wen just happened not to be home. Then, she was beaten to death just like that.
Do you think the tragedy ended when she died?
No!
It had just begun!
Her beloved son was brutally trained into a killer by his own Father, and her obedient daughter was ignored by her own Father, becoming invisible.
Finally, both children escaped from this tyrannical Father!
Ten years later, he directly sent his subordinates to snatch the necklace their mother left for them.
He insisted on entering Tuke to rescue his wife, who had clearly been dead for many years, but whom he stubbornly believed was sealed!
Although there were reasons for the Soul-Devouring Monster's instigation and temptation, if your children are stopping you like this, and you still insist on going your own way, and even try to kill them, isn't that a bit wrong?
And then, you led your team into Tuke, released the Soul-Devouring Monster, and if it weren't for Sanji's protagonist halo, Tuke Village and the Divine Dragon would have been finished!
Even if the Soul-Devouring Monster was finally defeated, Tuke Village suffered heavy losses!
What kind of thing is this!
To briefly summarize her experience, she fell in love with the wrong person, gave up everything she had, and was killed because of him.
After her death, not only were her two children abused and had tragic childhoods, but even her maternal home was almost destroyed by this man!
Even so, Wen still has the nerve to portray himself as a loving husband?
It's just that she couldn't be resurrected. If she were resurrected, she would definitely turn against Wen!
In Samuel's opinion, her life after meeting Wen was a complete tragedy.
She had Dragon Force, could defeat Wen who had the Ten Rings, and could even snatch the Ten Rings from Wen's hands and wield them!
Putting aside her tragic life, and not to mention her beauty and temperament, just based on the fact that she could use the Ten Rings, Samuel would find a way to recruit her.
The power of the Ten Rings goes without saying. Currently, only two people are explicitly stated to be able to wield the Ten Rings.
Sanji and his mother, who possess the Dragon Force!
If Samuel wants to recruit someone who can use the Ten Rings, she can only choose one.
If she chooses Sanji, she will die; if she chooses her, this World will not have Sanji!
How to choose?
Of course, she chooses her!
After all, Sanji is also an idiot.
