I get stronger by sunbathing, just like Superman.

A terrifying image seemed to flash through his mind... He felt a jolt of fear and said in a trembling voice:

"Do you...do you know what the consequences of doing this will be? The whole of America...no, the whole world will be thrown into chaos!"

"What does that have to do with me..."

Lei Ming's expression was indifferent.

"Make your choice, Your Excellency..."

An entire country, or a few pests.

Or you could try fighting me... maybe you could win...

I'll give you five seconds to think about it.

"I promise!!"

As soon as Lei Ming finished speaking, Calvin immediately answered loudly, as if afraid that he would change his mind at any moment.

"Smart move."

Lei Ming smiled, then added, "And one more thing..."

If you 'accidentally' show mercy... or just kill a few minor characters to get by..."

"No! Absolutely not!"

Before Lei Ming could finish speaking, General Calvin replied loudly.

Judging from his expression, he seemed to already know that this return trip would likely involve an unprecedented massive cleanup.

Seeing that he still seemed somewhat hesitant and indecisive,

Lei Ming gently touched his temple with his finger, and whispered as the latter stared at him, motionless and filled with doubt:

"Since you still feel that this was a helpless act of agreeing under my intimidation."

Then I'll let you see for yourself what those people you serve have done…

Then, a series of indescribable images were transmitted through Lei Ming's consciousness to General Calvin's mind...

His expression and eyes quickly became extremely complicated.

Pain, guilt, fear, anger, and helplessness... a mix of negative emotions swirled in his mind...

In the end, all that remained on his face was repentance and resolve.

No one knows what this nearly seventy-year-old general saw in his mind. With red eyes, he assured Lei Ming that he would not show any mercy and finally led his troops to withdraw from the Capitol Building in a grand manner.

Lei Ming remained silently watching them leave, his gaze calm.

Although a general's power can never surpass that of the president... that depends on the circumstances, the enemy, and the state of the battle, so... he had no doubt that Calvin could deliver on his promise.

Even if he fails, at worst it's just a matter of him making the trip himself.

Why not get rid of annoying things with just a few words and avoid getting your hands dirty?

Although the world's ghost lanterns are detestable, what's even more disgusting than those rat droppings are those scoundrels who throw shit into the pot and then trick people into drinking it.

This action was enough to make them realize their mistake; at least as long as they were still on Earth, it would ensure they would never dare to act recklessly again.

I'm sure there will be big news soon...

Seeing the military troops withdraw, Max and the others came over to Lei Ming's side. They hadn't disturbed him earlier because they saw that he seemed to be negotiating with the military.

It would be best to avoid a fight if possible, since no one wants to have their hands stained with blood unless absolutely necessary.

"Lei...you finally..."

Max walked up to him, tears welling in his eyes, wanting to give him a hug, but Rayleigh leaned back tactically, freezing Rayleigh's outstretched arm in mid-air...

"thunder!"

Anke and Connie also ran over and gave him a big hug... This time he didn't lean back strategically, but accepted it gladly.

Anna, meanwhile, silently hid behind Leona, only revealing one eye... still warily 'guarding' against Lei Ming, while Leona glared at him jealously.

Lei Ming naturally chose to ignore the murderous look in this dead 'lesbian's' eyes.

Max could only stand to the side, grimacing...

All these years have passed, and he is still the one most disliked by the 'eldest brother'.

But it's okay, he has Lyle, a child with depression, to keep him company.

Connie simply expressed her longing briefly, and after exchanging a few words, she let go of his arm.

Anke seemed completely unconcerned about being slapped by Lei Ming until she vomited blood. She held him tightly for a while without letting go, and said with a resentful expression:

"You lied to us so badly... But now that you're back, I'll forgive you this time. You won't abandon me again, right?"

Lei Ming slowly pulled her arm away from his waist.

"I lied to you only because my strength has not yet recovered, and I don't want to attract the attention of certain 'things'."

in addition…

I never said I was going to 'abandon' anyone. I just felt that we should all have our own lives and don't necessarily have to stay together.

And I still hold this view.

Anke was quiet for a moment after hearing this, then suddenly waved her little hand and said in a nonchalant tone:

"Fine... whatever, I have tons of people who like me @*?#&..."

Then, amidst Leona's passionate gaze, he returned to her embrace...

Connie stood to the side, watching everyone get along... and unconsciously felt a sense of warmth.

Lei Ming's return made her feel like she was back in the days when she was still in foster care, but while she missed him, she also looked worried.

It wasn't just because she overheard Lei Ming's conversation with the military, which made her worry about their situation and the future of the country.

And there's Molly, who's been missing for many years...

I wish she were here too.

...

Chapter 86 A Happy Family

"Molly...it's time to get up..."

Molly slowly awoke from her sleep to the gentle calls of a woman's voice.

A woman around forty years old, with Indo-European skin, was sitting on the edge of the bed, looking at her with doting eyes.

Molly stretched out her arm, wrapped it around the woman's neck in a coquettish manner, and then peeked out her lips to give her a good morning kiss.

Good morning... my darling.

The woman smiled and gently kissed her forehead.

Molly squinted her eyes in enjoyment, her face beaming with an expression of bliss…

Good morning... Mom.

...

After washing up, Molly changed her clothes and went to the dining room outside the kitchen. Her mother was still busy in the kitchen, and a man wearing black-rimmed glasses was sitting at the table reading a newspaper.

Molly went straight up to the man and gave him a big hug.

Good morning... Dad.

Good morning, my little angel.

The father put down his newspaper and looked at Molly with eyes full of affection.

Soon, the mother, having finished her work, took off her apron, and the family gathered around the dining table to eat. During the meal, the father told a joke that made the mother and daughter laugh heartily.

The family of three chatted and laughed, enjoying each other's company; the scene was peaceful and harmonious.

Molly stared intently at them. Although they were bickering and arguing, their eyes were filled with deep love for each other.

For a moment, she forgot to put the food in her mouth.

My eyes welled up with tears without me even realizing it…

Because this wasn't a dream, but a real scene. Just like before, the three of them lived together again. Although they were struggling financially, every day was incredibly fulfilling and happy.

She wished this scene could last forever, because her parents were there...

That's the real home.

suddenly…

A knock on the door suddenly broke her thoughts, and her bickering parents quieted down.

The room fell silent…

"So early...who could it be?"
