Chapter 680

"See, I told you Kalpas, you're very popular."

Bai Ge said to Kalpas, who was surrounded by children. At this moment, a rare smile appeared on this irritable brother's face, which he decisively recorded with his phone.

Bai Ge planned to post it on Fire Moth's internal forum later, feeling it could be the internal headline for at least a week.

"............"

Kalpas looked blankly at the children from the nursing home.

At this moment, they looked like a group of little lambs surrounding a lion, but the lion had retracted its claws and teeth, cautious for fear of hurting the little lambs.

The two hearts in the Mad King's chest were beating wildly.

Usually, such a situation only happens when encountering a sufficiently strong enemy, and accompanied by this irritable heartbeat, he would gain stronger flames and more power.

However, this time Kalpas felt only indescribable joy. He never thought that he could be liked by these children at the nursing home, and he never thought that he was truly qualified to obtain the treasure called 【Family】.

"Brats, are you really not afraid of me?"

Kalpas asked the children.

Although the tone was as indifferent as ever, without the mask covering it, his nervous expression was completely exposed.

"Uh, why would we be afraid of Brother Jie?"

"Although Brother Jie is very scary when you get angry."

"But we all know Brother Kalpas is a good person."

"We know, back when we were suffering from Honkai disease, you intended to go grab the serum for us."

"We also know that the reason you joined Fire Moth, Brother Jie, was to let us live a good life."

The children at the nursing home looked at Kalpas with gratitude and trust in their eyes. How could they be afraid of this person who had always sacrificed for them?

Although Kalpas was angry and irritable on the surface,

But the children all knew the gentleness in his bones.

A few people said as they took out a very ugly wooden carved doll from their schoolbags. Kalpas was shocked after seeing it.

Because that was a work he carved when he was at the nursing home in the past. His craftsmanship wasn't good; other places were passable, but only the doll's face was always carved very ugly.

"You, you actually kept this? I thought you had thrown it away long ago."

"How could we! This is the first gift Brother Jie gave us, we love it!"

The children said extremely seriously.

Although this wooden carved doll wasn't good-looking, much worse than what was sold on the market, they knew that what was contained in it was the gentle heart of the man named Kalpas.

Just based on this point, even if someone exchanged it with a hundred new dolls, these children wouldn't agree.

"............"

Kalpas's body was trembling slightly. He raised his hand to cover his face, not letting anyone see his expression at this moment.

However, Bai Ge, who had good eyesight, still clearly saw his mouth curled high. Kalpas smiled.

"Brother Jie, you are our family/brother."

"Don't, don't say it, I already know."

Kalpas turned his head abruptly. Bai Ge saw him rub his eyes hard. At this moment, the Mad King's heart was filled with joy. The children's words made him happier than any battle.

He was recognized.

He was accepted.

Kalpas pressed his heart. He really wanted to grab his heart and make it stop beating so fast.

Afterward, he saw him carefully and awkwardly raise his hand, placing it on a child's head, imitating the action he saw Bai Ge do to Elysia and the others in the past, performing a head-pat kill.

This action was so gentle that even Kalpas himself couldn't believe it was something he could do.

"Brother Jie, you patted my head?!"

"Why, do you have an opinion?"

"No! Just so surprised, so happy!"

The child whose head he patted beamed with joy, feeling that he had obtained an incredible honor.

Bai Ge nodded in approval. This child should indeed feel honored. In the past, those who were head-pat-killed by Kalpas were Honkai Beasts—held by their heads, and then crushed, a true head-pat kill!

The surrounding children looked at him with envy, surrounding Kalpas one after another, saying they also wanted to be treated like that.

At this moment, Kalpas felt he could die without regrets.
