Scene 323. Home is a long way

After dealing with all the matter, it was already late at night when Reiner returned to the Windermere Hotel. They originally planned to leave today, but due to the delay of various affairs, Reiner decided to stay for another day.

Macon's body and the things he carried were taken away by His Excellency Field. After only after the inspection, Lena was left with a magic prop.

It was a brooch. As long as it was worn on the body, it would significantly reduce its presence and make others ignore it. However, wearing it for a long time can easily lead to losing oneself. I believe that Macon escaped from the pursuit many times because of the ability of this brooch.

Both Reiner and Mrs. Freya were extremely tired. The battle with Macon today was very intense. If it weren't for Phyllis and Herleason's intervention, Reiner might have to spend more energy waiting for the arrival of His Excellency Field to subdue Macon.

Reiner slept very well and almost fell asleep after lying down. By the time he woke up, it was already past nine o'clock the next morning.

Mrs. Freya curled up and lay on the other end of the bed, sleeping soundly.

Without waking the sleepy kitten, Reiner changed her clothes and walked out of the room.

"Good morning, Reiner, um..."

Claire was sleepy and rubbed his eyes and walked out of the room. She waited until Reiner came back last night and rubbed in Reiner's arms like a kitten before leaving. Although she didn't know what was going on, Claire probably had a premonition of Reiner's thrilling moment yesterday, but she didn't ask much, and she believed Reiner would tell her.

The two seemed to have some tacit understanding and didn't say much, so they came to the lobby on the first floor.

It is still half-decorated here. It seems that since I learned about the death of my son West, Uncle Mason has no longer had the mood to celebrate his 60th birthday.

Behind the counter, Uncle Mason was wiping the tabletop with a rag. When he saw Reiner and Claire, he smiled reluctantly.

"Today is my birthday. I should have celebrated it well and I disappoint you."

"Ah, happy birthday to you."

Reiner hurriedly said that he had not prepared before, so he could only find a crystal from the storage bag on the spot.

"This is a crystal that can calm your mind and keep it by your side to calm your emotions. Sorry, I only have such a gift."

This crystal is a magic prop that Reiner himself used to practice. The magic in it is mainly to calm people down and is a gadget that is useless.

After taking the crystal, Uncle Mason hurriedly thanked him. Perhaps on this supposedly lively birthday, he only received gifts from outsider Reiner.

Just as Reiner was about to check out, he poked in from the door.

“Is this Windermere Inn?”

The man had no hair on his head, but had a scar on his head, with triangular eyes, which looked very ferocious, but unlike his slightly scary appearance, his tone of inquiry was quite peaceful, showing a huge contrast.

"Yes, do you have an accommodation?"

Uncle Mason put away the gift that Reiner gave him and walked out from behind the counter.

No matter what, life has to continue.

"No, uh, what should I say."

The bald man became hesitant instead. He touched his bare head and continued.

"I'm here to find West Windermere."

"What?"

Uncle Mason was stunned. He heard the name of his dead son from a stranger, which made the old man feel a little dazed.

"Well, I'm Cohen Bright of the Anaheim Chamber of Commerce. He has been helped by Mr. West in the past. He rejected the reward I wanted to give him, just hope that I could come to Ohmster today to give his father a birthday wish. Mr. West said that his father likes to put photos of celebrities at home, and his father would be quite happy if someone like me could go."

Cohen Bright said, the sincerity in his tone could be heard.

"this......"

Uncle Mason was stunned. He glanced at the restaurant. There was a wall, and there were photos of various celebrities and Windermere Hotel. His vanity liked the most was this wall, which he had bragged to others more than once.

"This is the Windermere Inn? Where is that boy in West?"

Before Uncle Mason could react, a rough shout came from behind Cohen. He was a strong man with a beard and hair as unconventional as a tree root.

Behind the strong man, a noise came.

Uncle Mason arrived at the entrance of the hotel.

What he saw was a group of strangers.

There are gentlemen wearing exquisite dresses, single-sided glasses, and top hats, as well as young men wearing casual and bearded, as if they can go to the dance next moment, and there are old men who are unable to move but still stand on crutches.

They obviously don't know each other, and the styles of their clothes come from different countries, and even the languages ​​they use are hugely different.

But everyone is chanting the same name.

West.

"What are these people?"

Uncle Mason felt unable to breathe, and countless words were about to come out in his throat. He looked at Cohen, looking for an answer.

"I've talked to them for a while. These people have been dealing with West and have been helped by him. Like me, West did not ask for their thanks, but only hoped that they would give their birthday wishes to West's father today."

Cohen explained, with mixed feelings in his tone.

"I have been in contact with West for quite a long time. He told me that he had made irreparable mistakes and did not want to drag down his parents. So he has been traveling on the mainland for many years and wants to atone for his sins by helping others. He said that after he helped a hundred people, he would return to his hometown to celebrate his 60th birthday for his father. In the Midland Federation, this is the most important day for a person, and he hopes that his father can forgive him."

Upon hearing Cohen's words, Uncle Mason held the door frame and was dazzled.

"To be honest, I have been away from home for many years. In the past, I always wanted to stay away from my hometown and explore a bigger world. But when I had achieved success and fame, my parents were no longer alive. From then on, I never had a hometown to go back to. I can understand West's mood."

Cohen said with deep emotion that this time he came to Ohmster not only to fulfill his agreement with West, but also to fill the gap in his heart.

Perhaps the people present also had their own homesickness. West's actions awakened their emotions that had been sleeping for many years, so they would have traveled thousands of miles to come here.

What you can't reach is the distance, and what you can't go back to is the hometown.

"This stupid son, if you want to come back, come back!"

Uncle Mason finally couldn't hold back his emotions. This was the first time he had cried out loud since he heard the news of West's death.

Seeing all this, Claire gently held Reiner's hand. She felt her eyes a little sore, and some unspeakable emotion was overflowing in her chest, as if it was about to burst out.

Reiner, then grabbed Claire's soft palm and said softly.
