In the hospital room, Cassano's mother and girlfriend, Carolina, sat to one side, quietly sobbing. No one spoke, except for the intermittent, high-and-low sounds of crying that made the room feel particularly oppressive.

Antonio Cassano seemed oblivious to this. He lay in bed, his eyes unfocused as he stared at the ceiling.

How could this happen to me?

That was the only thought left in his head. He felt a deep despair, a despair that made his whole body feel cold, as if he had fallen into an ice cave.

His family and he himself had known about the news that Cassano might have a heart problem before the press conference.

Moreover, unlike the hospital's vague statements to reporters, they knew very detailed information. Although there was no confirmed diagnosis yet, there was an over 80 percent chance that the reason for the symptoms Cassano showed on the plane pointed directly to his heart.

Of course, what specific heart problem it was still required more complex and subtle examinations to find out.

But heart disease was almost a certainty; it was just a matter of what kind of heart disease.

Was it a heart disease that could threaten his life, or a heart disease that would threaten his career?

But regardless of which it was, the average person's first reaction upon hearing heart disease would probably be terror.

His mother had almost burst into tears the moment she heard the news. She had already cried a lot when she came, and the tear stains on her face were not yet dry...

She was worried that it would be a heart problem that would threaten her son's life.

His girlfriend was equally struck by lightning, heartbroken.

After Cassano learned that there was a problem with his heart, all the strength in his body seemed to have been drained away. After that, he had no recollection of what the doctor said. His ability to think stopped at that moment. Unlike his mother, when he learned that he had a heart problem, his first thought was not to worry about his life, but to worry about whether the heart problem would threaten his football life.

As a professional football player, he was only twenty-eight years old, the golden age of a professional player. It would be too cruel to have to retire at this time...

I still have so many things to do! There is so much beauty on this football field that I have not yet enjoyed...

In this stifling and dull atmosphere, the outside of the ward suddenly became noisy and chaotic. Confused and hurried footsteps, and anxious shouts intertwined, and reached the ward, breaking the suffocating atmosphere in the ward.

Lying in bed, Cassano was attracted and turned his head, casting his gaze on the closed door.

There, many voices were ringing out one after another.

"Sir, sir! You can't just go in like this..."

"You don't have an appointment, sir..."

"Who exactly are you? Security! Security! Damn it... What is security doing?"

"Quick, stop them!"

They tried to stop him, but obviously they didn't succeed, because the noisy sounds were gradually approaching the door.

Then a voice that made Cassano's spirits lift rang out: "God doesn't need an appointment to be summoned to earth, mortals!"

Is that Hero?

But... From those voices, people don't seem to recognize him... What is he doing?

Cassano supported his body with his hands and sat up from the bed, looking at the door.

His eyes were full of doubt.

"Sir, sir... This is a hospital, not a church. Even if you are God, I can call the police and sue you for disturbing the normal order of the hospital..." a very firm male voice rang out.

Cassano recognized it; it was Director Ber里克里.

He suddenly smiled.

This was the first time he had smiled since hearing about the heart problem.

Even the director was attracted out. This good friend of his is really capable of causing trouble...

"My servants, help me stop those mortals. I have very important things to do now and I don't have time to listen to their confessions and prayers." From Chen Hero's "old-fashioned" voice, Cassano seemed to be able to see a "god" who was putting on airs to the fullest...

"Yes, boss." However, Christine Cabrella did not cooperate. Her voice had no change in tone. As "God's servant," she was neither humble nor solemn, and there was a problem with her address to God. At the same time, there was another click, which should be the sound of a pistol being loaded...

The noise outside disappeared immediately, and soon Director Ber里克里's trembling voice rang out again: "I'm going to call the police, I'm going to call the police..." This time, he was finally not tough anymore.

"As you wish, mortal!"

After saying that, the god pushed open the door in front of him.

※※※

Cassano kept staring at the door. Under his gaze, the door was pushed open by a tall figure, and the protagonist who had turned the outside world upside down appeared before his eyes.

Cassano himself was not surprised by Chen Hero's arrival. After all, they were good friends. If he was sick, how could his good friend not come to see him? Besides, Chen Hero was actually going to come in the afternoon. He had already called, but because he had to have an examination and didn't have time, he had to choose another time.

But after he learned that there was a problem with his heart, deep down in his heart, he suddenly didn't want his teammates to visit him anymore. Because he didn't know how to face them. In the team, he was proud, cheerful, lively, and even... unreasonable, tyrannical, and domineering. How could he let them see a "bad boy" who had lost all his fighting spirit, didn't know where hope was, and was surrounded by heavy despair and pain?

So after hearing Chen Hero's voice, he was both surprised and terrified.

What expression should I use to face Chen Hero and greet him?

But after seeing Chen Hero, all these thoughts were swept away. The only thought left was...

"Vaffanculo!"

This is an Italian curse. The direct translation is actually very unpleasant, but many times when someone mutters it, it doesn't mean they are swearing, but just a modal particle to express their mood, just like the Chinese habit of saying: "Cao" and "Cao Ni Ma" these kinds of swear words... So this sentence can actually be translated as – "Fuck!"

Yes, when he saw Chen Hero's image, he instantly petrified. In addition to using swear words to express his shock, he really had no other thoughts...

Walking into the ward was a "man in black" wearing a black felt hat, a black trench coat, and a black shirt, with black leather pants underneath, black leather boots on his feet, black gloves on his hands, and a black cape on his back... As he walked, the cape slowly swayed left and right behind him, and the leather boots stepped on the hospital's marble floor, making a crisp and powerful sound.

He walked straight to the bed, stared at the petrified Cassano, and said in a very slow but powerful and clear voice: "Even in this cold and harsh world, there is no God, and there is no Buddha. But the heavens are calling, the earth is calling, and mortals are calling, calling me to maintain the peace of the earth... I am the embodiment of justice and love, Alibaba Goudou Nong the Third!" (Author's note: I sincerely pay tribute to Mr. Luo Sen's *The Story of Wind and Manners!*)

Not to mention Cassano, his girlfriend and old mother were frightened and stared blankly at the man in black who appeared in front of them. Although they had met Chen Hero before, it is estimated that few people could recognize that the person wrapped in black was Chen Hero... Moreover, Chen Hero's hat brim was pressed very, very low. Unless you squatted down and looked up, you could basically only see his nose and mouth.

"Alibaba Goudou Nong the Third" stood by the bed, looked down at Cassano, kept his face straight, his mouth drooped down, and looked serious. "I can fulfill three of your wishes, say it, what are your wishes, mortal?"

As expected of Cassano, who often fooled around with Chen Hero, he was the first to react in the entire ward after a brief shock.

He whistled: "Wow! Fucking awesome!"

The man in black's face remained unchanged, and he replied in a calm tone: "I'm sorry, this request is beyond my ability, mortal."

"Aren't you a god? How can there be things you can't do?"

"I really can't make your dick explode." Chen Hero was completely in character, and he said this very nonsensical thing seriously. "Say something else, quickly! You still have two wishes left."

The god was a little impatient.

"That used up one already?" Cassano was shocked.

"Yes, so I remind you not to make unrealistic wishes. Even a god has his limits!"

"Okay." Cassano put away his hippie smile and suddenly said very seriously: "The first wish is that I can return to the stadium as soon as possible. The second wish is that we can eliminate Barcelona. I may not be able to participate in the second leg of the match, but I will be in front of the TV... no, I will go to the scene to cheer for the team!"

Chen Hero nodded solemnly. "I have received your wish, but you must always be firm in your belief. Only when you have never given up in your heart will the wish come true!"

After saying that, he stretched out his hand and gently placed it on Cassano's shoulder.

It was like completing a ritual.

After doing these things, he said goodbye to Cassano: "Remember, mortal, never give up your beliefs. If you give up yourself... then even God can't save you!"

Then he quickly turned and left.

※※※

Opening the door, he found Cabrella standing at the door. The security guards and nurses who were surrounding him were gone, and Director 伯利克里 was nowhere to be seen.

"Huh, where are those stupid and ridiculous mortals?"

Chen Hero was still acting.

"They were scared away." Cabrella raised the gun in her hand.

Chen Hero looked sad: "Although God loves the world, we have to use violence when necessary... Let's go!"

He turned and went in another direction.

Cabrella put away her gun and followed closely behind.

The two quickly left the corridor.

※※※

While reporters were still guessing whether the person who got out of Chen Hero's car was Chen Hero, Chen Hero had already returned.

He and Cabrella quickly got into the Land Rover and drove away.

Leaving behind a group of people who were a little unable to react...

"Is that Hero? Is it him?"

"Who knows, he looks like him... But..."

"But he's here to see his good friend. Why is he dressed like this? Is it something shameful?"

"And he's in such a hurry... Seems to be hiding from something?"

Of course, they didn't know that Chen Hero was hiding from the police!

Although he often dealt with the police, no one wanted to explain to the police at this time why he was dressed like this in the hospital and instructed his bodyguards to threaten the director of the hospital with guns, right?

Naturally, he had to slip away!

※※※

Facts proved that Chen Hero slipped away quickly, because the police arrived as soon as he left...

They asked Cassano and his girlfriend and mother in the ward about everything that had just happened.

"I don't know... Well, he came in wearing black clothes, and then he disappeared again... Yes, he said some very strange things. I don't know what that means... I don't know, don't ask me. My mind is very confused now. God, how could there be a problem with Antonio's heart?" As she spoke, Carolina began to sob again.

"That's right, a god suddenly came and told my son that he could make three wishes. Then my son said one, but the god said he couldn't do it. Then my son made two more wishes, and the god agreed... I think he agreed, right? I'm not very sure either. Anyway, then... then the god left!"

Obviously, the police could not get anything of value from these two stimulated women. In their opinion, these two women were completely frightened.

Maybe they were stimulated by the news that Cassano had a heart problem?

Cassano was a little calmer, but no matter how the police listened, they felt that Cassano was talking nonsense.

Cassano often pulled pranks to trick others. Maybe this time the police also became the target of his pranks...

When facing the police, he looked calm, peaceful, and gentle.

"In my most desperate moment, God felt my despair and pain, so he descended before my eyes. And he pointed out the direction for me. He told me to stick to my beliefs no matter what and never give up. Because once I give up... then even God can't save me!"

In the end, the police shook their heads and exited the ward. They decided to ask the nurses and the director about the situation again, and then go back and report to apply for the hospital's surveillance video to see if they could find out the truth.

God?

They didn't believe that a god really appeared in this hospital!

Although everyone always called out to God, who had really seen God in their lives?

Moreover, did God have to be dressed in black? That's not God, that's Satan's dress...

※※※

When the police all left the ward, Cassano, who had a calm face, smiled.

Thank you, Hero.

I accept your kindness.

ps, I revised this chapter once. After writing more than a thousand words, I realized what I wanted to write, so I revised the ending of the previous chapter and deleted the previous thousand words and started all over again.

I actually like this chapter very much, because I think it's normal and not pretentious for a fool like Chen Hero to do such a thing.

Because fools have to take an unusual path.

For Cassano, who is also a fool who cares about face, this method is the most suitable.

(This little bit of ps is outside the word count and is free)
