“No,” Alpha said sternly, “How could we be such inferior beings? We are the inheritors of the flame! We are the heirs of the world! The great souls of the Gattuso family are destined to be immortal!”

“Are we that powerful?” Pompey teased.

The anger on Alpha’s face vanished in a flash. He controlled his emotions, and his voice became gentle again. “Pompeii, we are an ancient family. We inherit a great will. This is our shared responsibility. You should have understood all this long ago, before you became the head of the family. In the future, your position will be next to mine, and in the future, Caesar’s position will be next to yours. We can become gods, we can be immortal, and we will share the glory.”

“Didn’t you ever ask me if I wanted to sit next to you? You’re talking to young people about glory and immortality like a mummy or a vampire.”

Alpha was stunned and was about to get angry.

“I’m a little tired of you,” Pompey continued. “Sometimes I think, why not fill the cold storage where you are kept with cement while you are lying in the hibernation capsule? That way I will be free and can do whatever I want.”

The elders fell silent. This didn’t sound like a joke, but more like a naked threat. But Pompey was the type to make such jokes. Among all the previous family heads, he was the most insane and uncontrollable outlier.

But unfortunately, they really need such a madman. Frost is no longer here, and they need to use this madman to control the Gattuso family’s huge industry… which is far larger than the world thinks.

“Pompeii, my dear child, is there anything you can’t do in your position? You already have freedom, the greatest power and freedom in the world.” Alpha was silent for a long time, but finally decided to be gentle. He used a gentle but majestic tone, “The head of the Gattuso family is the master of this world. Apart from the black master, there is no one who can rival you.”

“The greatest freedom has nothing to do with power.” Pompey smiled. “The greatest freedom is to decide your own life, no matter how absurd it is. Maybe it’s waking up after sleeping with the most beautiful woman in the world, drinking yourself down to the last bit of consciousness, and then boarding a plane alone.”

“Boarding a plane alone?” Alpha was puzzled.

“Fly until you run out of fuel,” Pompey said, throwing the rose away and walking out. “Then crash into a mountain and die. Any mountain will do.”

When Pompey walked out of the monastery, the Latin beauty was applying sunscreen. Seeing Pompey coming out, her eyebrows and eyes were full of seductiveness. She leaned against the car door and posed naturally, her figure was exquisite and enchanting.

Pompey didn’t look at her, but looked into the distance, looking a little melancholy. This melancholy made him even more charming. The Latin beauty put her arms around his neck and said, “What’s wrong, baby?”

“My dear, it looks like we have to break up.” Pompey stared at her.

“My dear Pompey, are you kidding me?” The Latin beauty couldn’t believe her ears.

She also didn’t believe it in her heart. How could there be a man in this world who would tell you about breaking up while touching your thigh in a lustful way?

“There are indeed unavoidable reasons.” Pompey stroked the silky long legs, his tone a little sad.

“Doesn’t your family approve of our relationship?” the Latin American guessed.

Pompey was still passionate fifteen minutes ago. He went in to visit the elders of the family, but after coming out, he asked for a breakup. It was obvious that the family did not agree.

But there’s still room for improvement, isn’t there? As long as Pompey truly loves her, what difficulties can’t be overcome? The Duke of Windsor even gave up the throne to marry Mrs. Simpson.

The Latin beauty hugged Pompey tightly, staring into his eyes, thinking about how to launch a tender offensive.

“No, no, why should I introduce my girlfriend to these old guys? Because I suddenly feel that life is short, who knows when I will die?” Pompey sighed, “But there are still many beautiful girls in this world that I don’t know yet! I have to hurry up!”

He gave the Latin beauty a gentle kiss on the lips, then turned and walked into the alfalfa field.

The Latin American wondered what Pompey was going to do in the alfalfa field, but found that Pompey was walking farther and farther away and never looked back.

This man actually left like this, that gentle kiss a farewell. Between the blue sky and the green alfalfa fields, his white silhouette inexplicably revealed a sense of loneliness, like a seagull soaring alone between the sky and the sea.

She was clearly dumped, but for some reason she just couldn’t hate him, especially since he left her this valuable sports car.

Before meeting Pompeii, the Latina had been no pushover, flirting with every young, wealthy man in the social scene, enjoying their pursuits and screening her future husband. Now, she was simply returning to her old life, and she quickly gathered her emotions.

With money and beauty, life is still beautiful, and the next noble person will always appear in her life… She thought so and sat in the driver’s seat of the sports car.

A few seconds later, the Latin beauty suddenly jumped out of the car, cursing in the direction of Pompeii in the alfalfa field, and fiercely threw her silver high heels. Of course, she couldn’t hit anyone, because Pompeii had already walked away.

When Pompey touched her thigh, he pulled out the car keys.
