Chapter 159

~7 min read 1,308 words

"Take it."

"Okay."

Hawk didn't speak again, drove on the road.

"Hiss."

"Today seems to be the last day of the holiday."

Sitting in the passenger seat, Gwen, who was just about to take out her phone to take a picture of Hawk's driver's license, looked at today's date and couldn't help but blink her eyes.

The winter vacation time is always shorter than the summer vacation time; it felt like this winter vacation didn't do anything, but the holiday was gone in the blink of an eye.

From the evening when she picked up Hawk at the airport in the suburbs of New York, almost half a month has passed until today.

Hawk came back that day on December 27th.

Now it is January 7th.

But it is not January 7th, 2012, but January 7th, 2013.

Seven days ago, Hawk and Gwen both turned eighteen, officially arriving at the legal marriage age in Niuyuecheng.

Unfortunately, the two didn't dare to go.

Gwen might dare.

Hawk didn't dare.

He was afraid that after coming out of City Hall with Gwen, George "Sharpshooter" Stacy would appear and fire eight shots at his back.

Of course.

Hawk definitely wouldn't die, but George is hard to say.

Therefore...

To avoid such a tragedy, Hawk didn't drag Gwen to elope and get married on the day he officially announced he was eighteen seven days ago.

Half an hour later.

St. Mark's Church.

Located near Second Avenue in Manhattan, St. Mark's Church, built in 1799, is a church with a rich sense of history and is also a famous landmark building in Niuyuecheng.

However, Hawk didn't come here to visit the church, but to move his sister.

He can't continue to live in the Calvin cemetery.

The military's chaos at the Calvin cemetery has also passed for almost half a month; until now, the Calvin cemetery is still a mess.

Shattered tombstones are everywhere.

The parading crowds are endless.

Too noisy.

Not to mention...

Hawk had already thought about moving his sister Anna to a new home when he came back that day.

After all, he has money now.

And a lot of money.

And Gwen lives in Manhattan, and New York University is also in Manhattan, so he will move to Manhattan sooner or later.

There is no reason for him to move to Manhattan himself and leave his sister in Queens.

So these days, Hawk has been searching for cemeteries in Manhattan on the internet at home.

This is not it.

He found the St. Mark's Church cemetery.

Although the area of the St. Mark's Church cemetery is small, it is relatively quiet and shaded by trees.

The first mayor of Niuyuecheng rests here.

So this place is very good.

Unfortunately, the St. Mark's Church cemetery, like the Trinity Church cemetery, because space is limited, basically no longer accepts new burials to prevent people sleeping here from being shoulder to shoulder.

But this is Niuyuecheng.

Niuyuecheng, where money leads the way and rules give way.

"Ding!"

"Thank you for your generous donation, Mr. Hawk, God bless you."

"I hope he can bless my sister."

"He will."

The priest with a face full of smiles stood on an empty space in the cemetery, holding a POS machine in one hand and shaking hands enthusiastically with Hawk in the other.

Hawk and the priest agreed on the time to go to the Calvin cemetery tomorrow, and then left the church with Gwen.

The priest smiled enthusiastically and watched Hawk and Gwen get in the car and leave.

Gwen looked through the rearview mirror at the priest who was still standing at the church entrance smiling and waving, and the corners of her mouth couldn't help but twitch.

"This priest is so enthusiastic."

"He must be enthusiastic, and has to be enthusiastic."

Hawk, who had chosen a new home for his sister, was in a great mood, laughed and said: "Do you believe it, if I donate five million dollars, this priest would dare to dig up the grave of the first mayor of New York and give it to my sister."

Faith?

It's long gone.

Since the Vatican set an example of liking little boys, where is there any faith to speak of.

God had long since run away with his heaven dimension.

Gwen listened to Hawk's sentence, and couldn't help but laugh, then remembered that she was still a believer, and hammered Hawk with her small fist without good temper.

"Don't talk nonsense, God will hear it."

"Didn't you say you would accompany me to hell last time?"

Hawk looked sideways at Gwen and said with a smile: "Why, do you regret it?"

Gwen heard this, rolled her eyes, turned to the side, looked at Hawk, and said with a serious expression: "I will accompany you to hell, but I will also pull you from hell to heaven together."

Hawk glanced at Gwen, didn't speak, just shrugged.

He thought for a while, and didn't intend to tell the cruel fact that in this world, perhaps there is a heaven dimension, but the earth definitely doesn't have one, and you can only go to hell when you die.

Gwen saw Hawk didn't speak, didn't care, smiled, and put her gaze back to the front of the car.

Then...

Gwen blinked her eyes, looking at Hawk, who drove the vehicle into the community street near the church, and was slightly stunned.

"What are you doing here?"

"Buying a house."

Hawk looked at a middle-aged woman wearing a sales skirt at the entrance of a house for sale, and while parking the car on the side of the road, looked at Gwen, who seemed a bit surprised in the passenger seat.

His sister has moved, he definitely has to move too.

And, now is a good time to buy a house.

Because of the Battle of New York last year, the housing prices in Niuyuecheng, especially Manhattan, entered a downward trend, and by the end of the year, the housing prices in Manhattan had fallen by almost thirty percent.

After the beginning of this year, although housing prices are still in a downward state, the decline has obviously slowed down; it is estimated that in less than three months, housing prices will rise again.

The house Hawk is looking at now is a very typical American house.

There is a large lawn on both sides of the entrance, and anti-slip large stone slabs are laid from the entrance of the house to the roadside.

On the right side of the house, there is a garage that can accommodate two cars.

The garage and the first-floor hall of the house are connected.

Next to the garage, there is also a utility room used to store lawn mowing tools.

Mm.

The exterior is somewhat similar to the white house in "Mr. & Mrs. Smith".

But the house Hawk has taken a fancy to has orange exterior walls.

The space inside the house cannot be said to be very large, only very large.

Huge open living space.

A kitchen with complete functions and a large island.

A master bedroom with a very spacious walk-in closet.

Luxurious master bathroom.

Hawk followed the agent around this three-story house, and then returned to the spacious living room with a giant fireplace on the first floor.

Gwen looked at the fireplace in front of her without blinking, and the scene of snowy weather, fireplace bonfire burning, and the two of them hugging and falling asleep on the floor carpet appeared in her mind.

Hawk glanced at Gwen's expression and looked at the agent.

"How much."

"As agreed on the phone, a one-time payment of twelve million dollars."

"Okay."

Hawk listened to this price, nodded, then took out his Stark Bank card and handed it over, looking at the agent.

"Swipe the card!"
