Half-step Purgatory

Durin stroked the black cat on the armrest of his chair, sitting on the black leather sofa. Through the glasses perched on his nose, his gaze passed over the long table in front of him and settled on the man kneeling on the carpet:
"I understand, you've made money in Naples, your business has been very successful, and you've led a happy life. You've had those secret police, friends in both the law and the underground, and even the Royal Family speaking on your behalf."
"You don't need a friend like me, I know that. You're afraid of owing me a favor, and you don't want to get involved in troubles."
"But now you come to me and say, 'I beg you, Mr. Durin of the Corleon family, please help me seek justice, so that my life and my family will not suffer and sink into despair.'
Yet, in your eyes, I was nothing more than a second-rate artist involved in movies and music. Even at the brink of death, you still show me such disrespect, not even willing to call me by my title... Keeper of Secrets."

Durin's Diary

A maid went to open the door, and then Durin saw the old man from the Aye family standing outside, followed by quite a few people.


"Who are you..." To tell the truth, besides Anto Aye, Anta's grandfather, Durin didn't recognize anyone.


However, among them, there were half-bloods and humans, old and young, men and women, all dressed in Changtangian attire.


"We are from Chang Tang, your grandmother's... relatives," the half-blood opened his mouth. 


After saying this, he glanced at the human beside him with dissatisfaction, paused for a moment, and then continued looking at Durin, "May we come in for a drink of water?"


Durin sighed, and his girls didn't make a sound, because they all knew that if Durin didn't speak up, no one could catch that phrase.


But what could Durin do, drive them out?
