"Have you decided where to go next?" Looking at Grover sitting not far from him, Dean smiled and handed him a plate of barbecue.

"Thanks..."

Grover took the baking pan politely, took out a large piece from it, and then handed the plate to his sister beside him.

"Is it true that I can't follow Brother Lucifer?" Grover looked at Dean with pleading eyes.

he is very smart.

The young man in front of him who now calls himself Lucifer is completely different from the one Grover first met in the garbage dump.

He still clearly remembered what he looked like at that time.

Before the execution, Grover saw the wanted poster with that appearance.

It's Dean Boomer.

One of the core members of the treasonous Bulma family and the younger brother of the leader Esteva.

But Grover didn't care about this.

Had Dean not come to the rescue and given himself a tube of potion before leaving.

His sister and he were both dead long ago.

Grover has always been grateful for this.

This was also true when he first joined the Ritter Gang, because Grover found the snake mark of his savior in the recruitment process and in the bar.

However, the good days did not last long, and a strange plague broke out in Xiacheng District.

I originally thought that I and my sister were doomed this time, but unexpectedly, we were saved again by our savior.

In addition, he was in the world of death the whole time and watched Dean and others confront Queen Vanessa in the Great Square of the Colossus.

This supreme queen, whom Grover would never dare to think about at ordinary times, has repeatedly suffered at the hands of her savior.

To be honest, Grover was excited and envious, and now he completely regarded Dean and others as objects of worship.

Of course, Dean is the one I admire the most. After all, he has the blessing of life-saving grace.

He just wanted to continue following Dean. He had expressed this several times before when discussing his whereabouts, but Dean obviously did not agree.

Grover hasn't given up yet.

"Grover..." Dean smiled helplessly, "You also know the current situation of our group..." He glanced at the other companions.

Among the dozen or so children, except for a few who are busy cooking, the rest are playing with Joni Bonny.

Grover and his sister were the only ones staying here quietly.

"My partner and I are now wanted criminals in Remont, and the bounty is not low. I think there will definitely be adventure hunters who want to make this money and come to cause trouble."

"We could stay in that house forever." Grover pointed to the realm of death.

When Dean heard this, he smiled and shook his head: "You must have felt it in that place. The consequences of living there for a long time will be serious, and you will die."

"My sister and I will be very obedient, and we can do a lot of things." Seeing that it was definitely impossible to keep them all, Grover wanted to fight for himself and his sister.

"You are too weak..." Dean told the cruel truth.

"Yes... we are too weak..." Grover lowered his head unwillingly, "But I want to become stronger... I want to protect my sister... and let her live a better life...

."

Grover said as he suddenly raised his head and looked at Dean, his eyes very firm.

"I also want to be a powerful transcendent like you, brother Lucifer. I don't want to be like those people who were killed like garbage in the lower city... Just because we were born in the lower city... do we not have the qualification to become stronger?

Don’t you have the right to live a good life?”

Grover looked at Dean, knowing that he was born into the Sky Class.

He was not questioning or blaming Dean now, Grover just couldn't figure it out.

Why are we all the same people, but we are completely different from birth?

Some are as precious as treasures, while others are as cheap as a piece of shit.

"Being born doesn't mean anything. I was also born poor..." Seeing Grover in confusion, Luona, who had not spoken yet, spoke up, "The most important thing is that you don't give up... don't resent this.

The world... but must know how to look for opportunities to change..."

"I used to be an extraordinary person..." Luona pointed at herself with a smile, "but now I have become an ordinary person... I think this kind of blow should be considered a big blow... and there is also a bounty on my head.

...But I have no resentment or complaint. I also believe that I will eventually become a transcendent again..."

Luona looked at Grover and pointed at his heart.

"You should also believe in yourself...not only for you...but also for your sister who has always been by your side...didn't you say that you would always take good care of her? Then how could you give up or fall down?

..."

"But I can't think of any other way to become stronger..." Grover scratched his hair.

"Brother..." Grace on the side stretched out her hand and pressed it on the back of Grover's hand on his thigh, gently rubbing it to comfort him.

"I heard that Raymond is recruiting students recently..." Dean said, "If you really want to become a transcendent, the technological path is the most versatile sequence..."

"I won't go back to Remont..." Before Dean could finish speaking, Grover shook his head firmly.

"Oh? Why?" Dean smiled.

The God of Technology is the easiest way for ordinary people to embark on the path of transcendence. If little guys like Grover really want to go back, Dean doesn't mind taking some risks.

"Remont is your enemy, that is, my enemy. I will not surrender to the enemy." Grover's reason was simple.

"But you were also a citizen of Remont?" Dean didn't expect the little guy's objection to be so simple, he just found it interesting.

"My previous home was destroyed by the Guards. My father joined the gang in order to keep us fed, but he died in a firefight. My sister, my mother, and I were kicked out because we couldn't pay the rent.

, my mother left us soon because of sadness and illness...My sister and I have been making a living by picking up garbage for a long time..."

Grace's eyes couldn't help but turn red when she heard her brother's words, but Grover didn't show any sadness at all.

Dean saw hatred in him.

"The residents of Xiacheng District don't live like human beings at all. Some people may die just for a piece of bread... The palace never cares what Xiacheng District looks like... My sister contracted the disease because she lived in the garbage dump for a long time.

Disease... If it weren't for the medicine Lucifer gave us that saved our lives... my sister and I would have been eaten by wild dogs..."

"Brother Lucifer...Sister Luona...do you think...am I considered a citizen of Remont?" Grover looked up at the two of them and asked.

"...."

Neither of them spoke.

"I kept having nightmares for a few days before the plague started...but unexpectedly the nightmare suddenly became real...Aunt Mary killed her husband...Uncle Couch cooked his children...

.Everyone is crazy! Because everyone ate the food sent by Mrs. Karina...I heard that she is the aunt of Queen Vanessa..."

Dean wanted to say that the plague had nothing to do with Lady Carina and the palace, but looking at Grover's current appearance, the little guy probably wouldn't listen.

He didn't understand what was going on, and he guessed it was the result of a power struggle or something.

"Why do you want to kill us? Our life is hard enough... The entire lower city was blocked at that time... My sister and I couldn't escape at all... If Boss Ritter hadn't let us hide in the old wine

Jiao...Everyone has already been eaten by those monsters..."

Ritter was the only exquisite puppet left behind by Dean in Remont. However, because Dean's puppet technology was not as advanced as it is now, Ritter only acted in accordance with the thoughts that Dean instilled in him.

"They just looked at us and left us to die! Do we count as citizens of Remont?"

Grover smiled.

"I have seen rich people. The dogs they raise are better fed and better clothed than us. The pets raised by rich people are bigger and cleaner than the places where we live..."

"I heard that Science and Technology City has merged the downtown area and the elite area..." Although he and Raymond are enemies now, this does not affect Dean's judgment.

If Grover wants to become a transcendent, God of Technology is undoubtedly the safest way.

"I will never go back...no matter what..."

Seeing Grover's insistence, Dean stopped saying anything.

Everyone has the right to choose his own life. At most, he can help a little within his ability.

Dean never wanted to dominate these children's futures.

The wind in the forest suddenly blew, and the pendant of the necklace on Dean's chest was blown a few times.

He reached out and touched the pendant. It was Kate's 21 krypton. Ever since the little girl died, Dean had been wearing it as a pendant around his neck.

The image of that kind and hard-working girl appeared in his mind, and feelings of nostalgia and regret emerged in Dean's heart.

The atmosphere among the four of them was somewhat silent.

Grover becomes angry because of the memories, and Grace falls into sadness.

"I want to become a transcendent...and at the same time I don't want to return to Remont..." Luona seemed to be talking to herself, "Then I have a suggestion..."

The other three people all looked at her.

"How about going to the Republic of Vasa?"

Vasa?

"Yes, Vasa, this country is known as the most inclusive country in the entire Western Continent. No matter you are a noble or a poor person in the sky, no matter you are a good person or a villain, the Vasa Republic will accept everyone who comes."
