"If that doesn't stop you."

"I, an old woman, have a little friendship with people from the fraternity, and Murdy is also a member of the fraternity. If there is blood, the scene will not be pretty."

After a few seconds, Leyock silently put away his weapon and let go of Mertesa.

He looked at the old woman and his tone became much better:

"Aunt Bess, you...your eyes, are they blind?"

"Blind? Ha!" The old woman opened her eyes with confusion, as if she had heard some big joke:

"My ears are good enough to tell that there are four of you - three of them armed."

The old woman's words stopped short.

"Wait a minute, you know my name... so you're some brat from the club?"

Leyock sighed.

"Don't worry, I'm just passing by," Leyock stared at the blind old woman Beth, lowering his head in despair:

"Let's see an old friend."

But the old woman named Beth ignored him and asked her son:

"Murdy?"

"I'm fine, Mom!" Mertesa, who had escaped from trouble, sat on the ground and gasped angrily:

"I told you, just get back here right now!"

The old woman sneered.

"Maybe I'm not your biological mother, Murdie, maybe I still need to rely on you to remind me now so that I won't trip on the steps."

The next second, Beth's branch struck the ground hard, and her voice suddenly rose:

"But at least, when you were a crying little kid, I didn't let you freeze to death on the road or suffocate to death in the sewer, so you fucking bastard son of a bitch, give me the fuck.

——Be respectful!”

The old woman's fierce roar made people shudder.

Mertesa rubbed his forehead painfully, feeling helpless and uncomfortable.

"Ahhhh..."

Mertesa gave up her desire to talk back to her mother and sighed:

"Okay, I'll talk to the guy in House No. 6 about the broken pot! Now, please, go back to the house!"

Thales and others looked at each other.

"Okay, okay," Beth responded with the characteristic weakness of an old woman. She stooped and turned around with a murmur: "Brotherhood, brotherhood, ha."

"How much more do we owe them? That Tiansha's black sword..."

"Mom!" Mertesa started roaring again.

Beth hummed softly and stretched out the branch to explore the way:

"Then you should reminisce about old times. After all, this may be the last time we see each other."

"The last time? What?"

Leyock glanced at Mertesa's disabled body:

"Is he terminally ill?"

Beth touched the earth wall tremblingly: "No, I mean you."

"If you join a brotherhood, you won't live long."

Leyock stared at Beth steadily.

"Mom!" Mertesa shouted angrily for the unknown number of times.

But at the same time, there was another voice:

"Old woman!"

Beth's figure froze.

The old woman turned around slowly with an interesting expression: "Ah, a young voice, crisp, powerful, and still changing."

"At most fifteen years old."

Thales walked forward and stared closely at the old woman:

"You said your name is Beth?"

The blind old woman turned her head and took a few sniffs in the direction of Thales:

"It smells noble, but it has a familiar feeling, and it also has a bit of powdery smell. Why, you just came back from Hongfang Street?"

But Thales ignored her words.

"You said you were from the fraternity," Thales stared at Beth's face:

"Why have I never heard of you?"

Beth opened her mouth and smiled dumbly.

"Maybe because you don't have any hair down there yet?"

Glover and Cohen looked strange.

The old woman's expression immediately became stern, and she raised her voice in Thales' direction:

"And your little cock is still as limp as a caterpillar, unable to get hard on its own?"

"Impolite little brat?"

Mertesa said painfully:

"Mom! That's enough!"

Beth snorted coldly, her white eyes were lifeless, but it made people feel chills running down their spines.

"Baby, go find Maurice in this neighborhood and ask him: Have you heard of Bess, the Black-Hearted Widow!"

"Ask the other ungrateful bastards in the Brotherhood how many of them I haven't spanked!"

Thales was silent.

"I see."

He looked at Beth's face quietly, looking for flashes of memories from his childhood, and grinned:

"Thank you, I will remember it."

"Mother Beth."

Thales repeated Leyock's call.

"It's best not to," the old woman said coldly without any appreciation:

"Old lady, I'd rather be cleaner."

She slowly but skillfully stepped over the pit in the ground and disappeared behind the wall, leaving only a fierce voice:

"Murdy, don't forget the pot!"

Thales watched the old woman leave quietly, as if he had returned to the beginning.

The moment when he remembered the events of this life for the first time.

[Look at you, little brat, you’re crying, damn it, why aren’t you crying...Don’t be a fool...No, it’s better to be a fool, I can worry less...]

At that time, the other party's voice was not so old, but it was as rough and harsh as it is now.

[You have to call me Aunt Bess, Auntie, do you understand? Even if you become successful in the future, I will still be the one who raised you! You little bastard of the God of Heaven, I hope Hades will take you in soon and cause less trouble...

…]

At that time, Aunt Bess's face was full of disgust, but also had a hint of awe.

[Okay, Thales, this is your name... Don't mind it, I know it doesn't sound good, but I didn't choose it... It doesn't matter, if I raise you until you are old enough, I will be relieved and avoid nightmares all day long...

…]

At that time, the fraternity's nursery was dark, cramped, damp and crude.

[Okay, okay, take him away quickly, I don’t want to see him again in this life... Why? Haha, you don’t believe me even if I say it, but, he is destined to cause a big mess...]

[A monster calf born from a monster...]

At that moment, Thales opened his eyes and buried all the clear or fuzzy fragments deep in his heart.

There is still one chapter left, which should be finished around 12:30.
Chapter completed!
