Hearing his powerful and resonant words, Captain Johnson continued to speak with sincerity, âI know and I understand you. In fact, Iâve seen Old Man Morry and he even verified your identity. Why do you think you were able to escape so easily last time? You shouldnât have come back.â
Karl stared at Captain Johnson.
Captain Johnson continued to look at him. âNow, the country needs you, and the people. The mysterious organization has already revealed its hand. As long as we follow the clues, weâll catch them sooner or later. I can help you get out now. Going abroad is much better than exposing your identity! Donât you want to make this special contribution? When the time comes, you will return to the country even more gloriously. As for your daughterâ¦there is only talk about her now. She will definitely be able to forgive you and even understand your difficulties.â
Old Morry had said this countless times.
That is why Karl stayed abroad again and again.
In the past, he had no relatives and was alone. The hardship was nothing, but nowâ¦.
Karl looked down and said slowly: âYou donât have to tell me that. Iâm turning 49 this year and Iâve already been undercover for 30 years. How many decades does a person have in their life? I just want to do what I want to do for the rest of my life! I think people will understand me.â
âYouâ¦!â
When Captain Johnson saw that he was adamant, he said in exasperation, âWhy have you become so selfish now? Have you been away so many years already that your heart has become tainted?
Karl frowned.
He clenched his fists. âCaptain Johnson, Old Morry said I can stop whenever I want to stop! This is my freedom! You donât have to say anything else. Please help me contact Old Man Morry.â
When Captain Johnson saw his determined expression, he knew the decision was made and that he could no longer persuade him. He could only sigh deeply. âAll right, Iâll have Old Man Morry come and settle the matter!â.
With that, he went out.
When he reached the door, Karl stressed, âTwo days. Iâll give you two more days. If Old Man Morry still doesnât come, Iâll get your Captain Ford. I think heâll be very interested in my story.â
Captain Johnson choked and could only nod hatefully. ââ¦Agreed!â
âBesidesâ¦â Karl asked, âI want a big press conference. I think you all know how to announce my true identity, right?â
If he left like that, those people wouldnât believe a single word that came out of his mouth.
This was the age of the Internet. If he wanted to regain his identity and come out of obscurity, he naturally had to do it in a spectacular way. Otherwise, wouldnât he be tarnishing his reputation?
Besides, this way, he could improve his social status and public recognition. This was beneficial for his daughter Tanya!
Captain Johnson took a deep breath. âAll right! Wait for the good news.â
He walked away in a huff.

After leaving the special apartment, Nora returned home.
As soon as she entered, she saw two unwanted guests sitting in the living room. She had already seen these two people at the wedding. They were the elderly uncle and aunt from the older branch of the Smiths, as well as Joelâs parents.
At the moment, the two were sitting upright on the couch. One uncle, who looked like Ian, was crying to Ian. âIan, Joel married the daughter of a murderer. This affair has embarrassed us all.â
When Ian, who was sitting in a wheelchair, heard these words, his eyes dropped. âKarl hasnât killed anyone. Amos, havenât we made it clear that the person who killed the man back then was that woman named Margot?â
Amos snorted. âYouâre still not worthy!â
Ian then scoffed. âTheyâre not worthy? You all should know who she is, right? I hear Black Cat and Black Panther are top-notch killers. You think theyâre not good enough?â
Amos choked. His wife, Heather, snorted coldly instantly. âBut other than us, who else knows heâs the head of the Assassinâs Alliance? Now everyone says heâs committed a crime. Heâs a criminal! We know his true identity, but normal families donât! They just make fun of us.â
Ian looked at his older brother and sister-in-law in front of him. Amos was like a father, but then he couldnât support a large family. His ears were soft and he listened to Heather on everything.
He had even treated Joel like that back thenâ¦.
If Ian hadnât intervened in time, the outcome would have been unimaginable!
Ian did not have a good impression of these two people. He said in a cold voice: âWhat the hell do you want?â.
Amos and Heather replied, âAnyway, we canât stay in New York anymore! We want to go abroad. We will stay abroad from now on. Make arrangements for us.â
Hearing this, Ian was so angry that he burst out laughing. âSure. Donât ever come back after you leave the country. That way I save myself the trouble.â
What could he do if Amos didnât have the capacity?
Besides, Joel was in charge of the family now. Ian also knew that his situation at home was very uncomfortable. Going abroad was the best option for the whole family.
Joel and Tanya were also coming downstairs as Ian thought about this.
Joelâs smiling face instantly cooled when he saw the two of them. He had also heard the two of them talking and said, âNo problem. They wonât be short of living expenses either. The Smiths will provide for them always. We will provide a rich life for them.â
Nora also thought this was a good thing.
Heather seemed to be not easy to deal with. Having them leave was the best thing for Tanya.
However, when she heard Heatherâs last sentence, she instantly regretted her thoughts.
Heather looked at the two of them and said, âWeâll definitely leave. After all, we canât live in this country with all of you! You didnât care about your image and insisted on marrying such a woman. But what about your daughter? I canât let my granddaughter be made fun of in this country. This is detrimental to her physical and mental health! Therefore, Iâm going to take my granddaughter Mia with me!â
