The competition started on time. As expected, the Phoenix won the championship with a total score of 100, which was more than 20 points higher than the second place. The prize money for the champion is 10,000 shillings, and it can represent Namibia in the African competition next month. The three of them went home happily with 10,000 shillings. This money was enough for them to live for several years. Ivan no longer thought about selling the parrot. When they got home, they discussed the next competition. At about seven o'clock in the evening, the parrot in the corner suddenly screamed, "Danger! Danger!"
The next moment, there was a knock outside the door. Ivan was smarter and immediately guessed who it was, "Brother, it seems that we really offended those people."
"Fight them!" Ludes turned around and went to find a weapon.
As soon as the words fell, the door was knocked open and several people rushed in. They saw the three brothers and sisters raising their guns and firing. The second sister was standing in the front and was shot in the chest. Just as she was about to fall, Ivan supported her and retreated, shouting, "Brother, run!" Ludes was also shocked. He didn't expect the other party to be so cruel and shoot without saying a word. The three retreated to the room and immediately locked the door. Ivan supported his sister to hold the door, and Ludes went to knock on the window glass. At the same time, the people outside were also smashing the door and shouting, "You guys are dead." At this time, the second sister said in a weak voice, "Ivan, you go quickly, I will hold them back." Ivan saw the wound on her chest and gritted his teeth and said, "Okay! Sister, I will definitely not let you die in vain." Ludes had already dealt with the glass on the window. He turned around and shouted, "Ivan, Catherine, run!"
"What? your sister is also called Catherine?" Hearing this, Amandine interrupted. Ludes was very dissatisfied after being interrupted and did not speak for a long time. "Tell me, old man, what happened later?"
"Ivan and I escaped from the window and ran away separately. We have never met since then."
"What about Catherine? Is she dead?" Amandine became interested in the girl with the same name as his sister. "Yes, she died that night. She was only fourteen years old." When saying this, Ludes had tears in his eyes. "Where did Ivan go? Why didn't you meet?"
"Seven years after this incident, I avenged Catherine. Two years later, I returned home and found a parrot wearing a straw hat painted on the wall. I guess it was left by Ivan, and there was a bottle of wine painted next to the parrot."
"What does this mean?" Amandine asked curiously.
"We buried this bottle of wine in the yard a long time ago. We agreed that if we could make a name for ourselves one day, we would use it to celebrate. I dug out the bottle of wine in the yard and found a wooden box with two stacks of shillings and a note. The note said: Brother, thank you for avenging Catherine. I have made money in the past few years. Now I will give you half of my property. I hope you can start your life again. I will leave Africa and live in South America. If we are destined to meet again, we will meet again."
"Why does the parrot wear a straw hat?" Amandine asked.
"Father used to wear a straw hat. I think Ivan wants to commemorate him!"
"Does that mean I am the descendant of Ivan?"
"Nonsense, you should call me uncle." Ludes laughed.
"I won't call you uncle. Since you told me a story, I will tell you one too. I promise it will be more exciting than yours." Amandine was ready to tell him about his own story.
Ludes was very interested. "Go ahead, I want to know about your past." Amandine paused for a moment before speaking. "I am not Ivan's son, and he cannot be my father. I am over 80 years old this year. I came to this era from the future more than 300 years later." Ludes immediately questioned, "Nonsense, you look only in your 30s now."
"This is because I injected a drug that can keep people young." Amandine used up the last "Telomere Regeneration Solution" two years ago. Now he looks young again, but after ten years of drug effects, he will slowly age again. Ludes still didn't believe it, "Do you have any other evidence? You made up a story to deceive me because you don't want to be called my uncle?" Amandine said angrily, "Forget it, you are such a stubborn old man."
"Boy, be polite to your elders."
"It seems that there is no need for me to continue, you won't believe it even if I tell you."
"As long as it is true, I will believe it."
Amandine then talked about how he came to this era, how he was forced to stay here, why he got the invisibility cloak, and finally talked about his story of getting rich. Hearing this, Ludes believed what Amandine said, "No wonder, I was curious, it is impossible for you to be so rich with your brain, it turns out that there is a source of information." Amandine asked dissatisfiedly, "Why? do you think I am stupid?"
"If you are not stupid, we don't have to meet here secretly." Amandine was speechless after being defended. After carefully recalling, before getting help from her sister, he was indeed doing very poorly, almost to the point of begging for food. The two communicated for a while, and their relationship deepened further. "Boy, don't call me old man in the future. You are older than me."
"Old man, you are indeed more than 300 years older than me. Calling you old man is polite."
Ludes looked at Amandine's young face and couldn't help asking, "Do you still have the medicine you just mentioned?"
Amandine laughed, "Old man, you also want to be younger, but unfortunately I don't have it either."
"I didn't expect that such an amazing person would appear among Ivan's descendants."
"Old man, are you talking about me?" Amandine asked, pointing at herself.
Ludes sneered, "If you don't have anyone to help you, you are worse than me! I mean your father Ronnie, and Eliot who invented the elixir of immortality."
"Of course, my father is a real genius. I have never seen anyone smarter than him." Amandine admires his father the most and loves to hear others praise him.
"Your father is a genius, how could he give birth to a fool like you?"
Amandine argued, "You are not smart either, you don't even have any offspring, you are much worse than your brother Ivan."
"You have offspring? Aren't you just like me, wandering around alone."
"Haha! Old man, you can't imagine that I have two sons, twins, you must be envious!"
Ludes was surprised, pointing his finger at Beyondbear who was dozing off, "Is he your son?"
Amandine said proudly, "No, my son is not that stupid, he will be a professor in the city-state in the future."
"Where are they? you didn't make them up, did you? I never heard you mention them."
"I looked for them, but to no avail. Maybe they left Tanzania."
After a pause, he looked at Uwa and asked, "I want to leave the country. Do you want to find Chris? Or follow me?"
"Brother, of course I'll follow you!"
Amandine turned to Ludes again, "What about you? do you want to go with me?"
Ludes didn't agree so straightforwardly, "Where do you want to go? Do you have a plan?"
"I'm going to Thailand. As far as I know, the Illuminati haven't infiltrated there yet."
