Chapter 257 - Chapter 236: The Difference Between Life and Soul

"...Okay!"

Hawk was slightly taken aback, initially thinking things were urgent, but unexpectedly, time was surprisingly ample. He thought for a moment and nodded, "Alright, you use your method to find them, I'll use mine, we'll proceed with a two-pronged approach."

After all, the Heaven Dimension's target isn't only Mephisto.

There's also him.

Secretly tinkering with his clones seems to have traces of the Heaven Dimension involved.

Who knows, after all this time, whether the Heaven Dimension has worked out anything significant.

Honestly, Hawk is quite looking forward to the Heaven Dimension coming up with something substantial.

After all...

If the Heaven Dimension comes up with something, when he takes action, he can do so with greater legitimacy, and it will be more justifiable when he conquers the Heaven Dimension.

Simply ask, the Heaven Dimension made the first move.

With this thought in mind, after bidding farewell to Mephisto, Hawk turned around, pushed open the tavern's door, and stepped out, returning to the greenhouse at Fox Manor.

By now it was dark outside, and snow had already begun to fall, and it seemed to be going on for quite some time.

Gwen was asleep, leaning on the table in the greenhouse.

However, the greenhouse was heated, so it wasn't too cold.

Hawk watched Gwen from a distance, asleep in her chair, seeming like a wife waiting for her husband to return home, he smiled slightly and walked towards her.

Perhaps sensing something, Gwen's eyelashes fluttered slightly, she slowly opened her eyes and seeing Hawk holding her in his arms, she smiled warmly.

"Back?"

"Yeah."

"How did the talk go?"

"He's desperate, desperate enough to want to cooperate with me."

Hawk stepped forward, carrying Gwen, appearing directly in the living room of the manor's main building, narrating the situation about his trip to Hell to Gwen, before glancing upstairs, "Grandpa asleep?"

Gwen stepped out of his arms and chuckled.

"Already asleep."

"Then..."

"Don't worry, I said you went to the neighboring town to visit a friend."

"Alright."

Hawk smiled slightly at her words, looking over at Gwen, "Do you know what my friend's name is, what they're doing in the neighboring town, what they look like?"

Gwen shrugged.

"Just describe them like Peter."

"Works for me."

Hawk thought for a moment, then nodded, watching Gwen sit down on the sofa beside him, he wrapped his arms around her, "Sorry, I promised to come here and relax and watch Grandpa with you."

Gwen nestled against Hawk's shoulder, looked up slightly at his chin, and smiled lightly.

"As long as you're okay."

"It's truly fine."

Hawk gazed into Gwen's eyes, "Things are pretty much sorted out, from now on, we can relax, any remaining matters can wait until we're back in New York."

And indeed, there's not much left to do.

Mephisto didn't even know where those highly elusive Birdmen from the Heaven Dimension hide.

Naturally, he wouldn't possibly know either.

Unless...

His Sixth Sense officially upgrades to the Seventh Sense, in the golden peak state of Little Cosmos.

Because at that time, his 'Sixth Sense - Visualization' could completely cover every corner of Earth.

Put it this way.

By then, a mere thought would let him see what's happening in any corner of Earth.

Real-time images, 18K HD, without any delay.

Unfortunately.

Right now, his 'Sixth Sense - Visualization' can only cover the area around Waterfall Town.

Yet he doesn't much like using this skill.

After all, he doesn't have any voyeuristic tendencies, just as he rarely uses 'Sixth Sense - X-ray Vision.'

Hawk was thinking this to himself.

Gwen, upon hearing this, chuckled lightly.

"You still have one matter left unresolved."

"What?"

Hawk returned to his senses, looking down at Gwen.

Gwen smiled and said, "Klaus, this afternoon, Caroline came by again, but seeing you weren't around, she left."

Hawk chuckled.

"Relax, Klaus will give me face."

"What if he doesn't?"

"He will."

Hawk met his fiancée's gaze, smiling, "If he doesn't want to die."

Gwen blinked, withdrawing from Hawk's shoulder, sitting cross-legged on the sofa, smiling at Hawk, "So, you were deceiving Klaus before, about Caroline dying if he did?"

Hawk shook his head.

"No, that's true."

"Then why did you say earlier that Klaus would die if he didn't give you face?"

"If he doesn't give me face, he will die, but as for Caroline?"

Hawk pulled Gwen back against his shoulder, smiling, "My sister is a bit lonely in the Netherworld, Caroline would be good company for Anna, we just made a new deal with Mephisto."

He recounted the latest soul agreement reached with Mephisto.

"I killed Klaus, his soul belongs to me, and those vampires killed because of Klaus's death belong to me too."

"So, don't worry about Caroline's soul suffering in Hell."

"I promise she'll live in the Pure Land over the Netherworld, a place I've described to you, where my sister is."

As he spoke, Hawk looked at Gwen, "Besides, you never liked Caroline turning into a vampire."

Nestled against Hawk's shoulder, Gwen shrugged slightly.

"But there's one sentence I haven't said."

"What is it?"

"Better live miserably than die easily, so try to get Klaus to agree, Hawk, Caroline's death will sadden Aunt."

"...Okay!"
