Chapter 667: Chapter 307: Love and Existential Anxiety

Listening to his youngest son’s incessant questions, a sense of annoyance and impatience welled up within him. As a child, he was never this clingy. It seemed he had spoiled him too much before, making the boy become weak.

Senator Henderson shook his head, ready to tell the driver to take his youngest son home first so he could work overtime. As he looked up to find the driver, his eyes, as if guided by an unseen force, fell upon a stranger girl across the street.

Thump, thump.

At that moment, Senator Henderson heard his own heartbeat. Although he had never met the girl, with just one glance, he believed that she should be his child.

Those exquisite features, the deep and hesitant eyes, the calm and graceful demeanor, although she looked nothing like him, he could see through the superficial exterior and see the internal resemblance between them.

That kind of soul resonance convinced him more than any DNA test report. If she wasn’t his child, then there must be something wrong with the testing device.

He left his youngest son behind and, with unwavering eyes fixed on the girl, madly dashed through the traffic to come before her.

"I feel like I’ve seen you before."

Yu Siyi was surprised, her gaze transitioning quickly from confusion to familiarity as she looked at Senator Henderson.

"Sir, I also feel like we’ve met somewhere."

Senator Henderson looked at the easel in front of the girl in surprise and said, "Are you drawing me?"

Yu Siyi’s face flushed slightly. She lowered her head and said, "I’m sorry. I’ve grown up without a father, and I really envy this kind of family atmosphere. Seeing you play with your child, I felt envy and painted it on a whim."

"If it offends you, I can tear it up right away."

"No, no, no!" Senator Henderson hurriedly stopped Yu Siyi from tearing the painting horizontally. If it were to be torn, it should be torn vertically. The half with his youngest son was already partly torn up, but his part was a portrait drawn for him by his daughter, which he wanted to treasure.

"You think you have painted well. I heard you say you don’t have a father, is that right?" he asked nervously.

Yu Siyi nodded with a downcast expression.

Senator Henderson took a few deep breaths and, gathering all his courage, said:

"Then can I be your father? Not a daddy sweetheart, but a genuine foster father. I feel that I should have a daughter, and she should be like you."

Yu Siyi pondered tactically for a few seconds and asked, "Can I really?"

Senator Henderson patted his chest and said, "Trust me, no one can oppose me, and no one can oppose you, including myself."

"When you come to my house, whatever you desire, I will find a way to make it happen. In Sigef City, there’s nothing our family can’t handle."

Yu Siyi said, "I heard that the great philanthropist Peace wants to run for mayor. He is a good man, can you help him?"

Senator Henderson replied, "Of course! Whatever you ask, I can fulfill it!"

Yu Siyi’s face broke into a bright smile, "Thank you."

Senator Henderson began to breathe heavily, as if his heart was struck hard by a Federation truck. It seemed that his life was meant to wait for this one thank you.

"Do you want to come to my house today?"

Yu Siyi shook her head and said, "In a few days. I still have some matters to handle."

Senator Henderson dared not press the girl. After exchanging contacts, he returned to his youngest son half-dazed.

The smile on Yu Siyi’s face slowly faded, returning to a calm expression.

This was the result of her Talent and Title Ability’s combination. It was because of her ability that she was chosen by Hou Jingchuan as a secret weapon sent into the Cursed Dungeon. 𝐟𝕣𝕖𝐞𝐰𝕖𝚋𝐧𝗼𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝗰𝐨𝐦

She looked at little Henderson on the other side of the street. His father, who had been doting on him moments ago, suddenly turned indifferent and started fawning over a strange girl. This drastic change was hard for a boy of just five to accept.

Yu Siyi saw in young Henderson’s face a reflection of her past self, but she felt no guilt.

It’s not just about snatching affection; even killing or doing something more ruthless than killing was something she had grown accustomed to for Lu Langfeng.

None of this mattered as long as she could see Lu Langfeng again and make him entirely hers; she didn’t care about anything else.

She packed up her easel, hailed a taxi, and hurried to another square.

The night’s mission was not over yet, with another target’s admiration awaiting her extraction.

Hou Jingchuan said that completing this dungeon would give her a huge boost. She hoped he wasn’t deceiving her.

The Cursed Dungeon is particularly suitable for Yu Siyi to unleash her abilities. For her, the 90% attribute suppression only meant that the control which could be achieved with one painting now required ten.

Early the next morning, Wu Chang received calls from Senator Henderson and Senator Caitlin. They actively announced their willingness to use all their Energy to help him run for mayor.

Not only that, but they also persuaded several neutral senators, allowing his support rate to far surpass that of Mayor Avery.

After hanging up, Wu Chang summoned Miles, the Negotiation Master, and Colton, instructing them to expedite the mayoral election setup. Any part that could be accelerated by using Rules should be pushed forward, sparing no expense, and securing the mayoralty within three days.

He urgently needed to gain enough Power because he was running out of time.

To be precise, Amber was running out of time.

Last night, Erin used the Power of the True Divine Body to successfully protect the attic of their home, but at one o’clock in the morning, Amber still awoke from a nightmare.
