The Hero

Chapter 218 A Surprising Coincidence

Neither Javier nor Jade took Channing's failure seriously.

In fact, even trivial matters were not worthy of being the topic of conversation

Instead, what they were talking about was on a much higher level. During the return trip, they continued to argue bitterly about which position was better?

In the end, neither of them wanted to give up on the other's advice, so they decided to give it a try when returning home to see which one was better. While their conversation has reached a certain******, Javier suddenly sees a mother and her son walking down the street, looking very sad.

Although Javier has been driving fast and he only glances once, he immediately stops the car and backs off when he makes sure that there is no car behind him.

Finding Javier's sudden strange backward motion, he asked, "What's wrong?"

Javier replied, "It seems like I just saw someone I know."

Indeed, what he was thinking about was about to happen. When Javier turns his way to the side of the woman and her son, he is firmly convinced that the people he knows are none other than Marjorie and Sigmund. Javier then stopped the car and stood in front of the two of them. At that moment, Marjorie no longer looked as graceful and classy as before. The same could be said for Sigmund, who was covered in dirt.

Although both wore very expensive branded clothes, they looked more like fake items that could be bought on the street.

Meanwhile, Marjorie is overwhelmed with fear upon seeing Javier and hurriedly pulls Sigmund into her arms.

“No, no! Stop!!!"

Javier was very surprised, 'Why is Marjorie so scared of me when I obviously didn't do anything?'

After pondering for a moment, Javier more or less guessed the reason, “That boy is not Kersey, right?”

Marjorie's eyes were filled with fear as she shook her hands in panic.

"No no! He's a Kersey! He really is a Kersey!”

The more panicked Marjorie seems, the greater Javier's suspicion that Sigmund is not a Kersey.

Therefore, he sneered coldly and said, “Uncle Arthur has ordered that you be captured alive or dead. So, do you think he would have done the same to Sigmund if he was really a Kersey?”

Marjorie was so frightened that her knees were limp and she knelt on the ground with her

Sigmund in his arms.

“Javier, I beg of you. Please save the boy. I'm the one who's wrong, not him. He doesn't know anything.”.

Mariorie's frustrated actions petrified Javier's mind, which also left him feeling a little frustrated.

No matter how much of a dispute Javier has with Arthur, Arthur is still his uncle and a member of the Kersey Family.

'Marjorie is a rather brave woman. He made our family take care of other people's children for years, bluffing and fooling us all in the meantime.

'No wonder the old fox did not care about Sigmund. I think he's done the best he can for both of them by not letting Kenzo get rid of them!'

Just then, 14-year-old Sigmund suddenly kicked Javier's shin.

"I'll kill you if you bully my mother!"

Sigmund is initially fierce like a tiger cub, but he is eventually slapped by Javier next.

“You will really die on the streets if you continue to be that arrogant. Do you think you're still in the Kersey Family? You are already 14 years old, yet you seem to be immature or immature at all. You've let William lie to you like a fool. You were just his lap dog in the past. Do you think it's noble?”

Leaving Sigmund alone with his emotions, Javier looked at Marjorie.

"Tell me, how did you two get here?" 'The fact that Marjorie is in the same city as me couldn't have been just a coincidence.'

However, it was indeed pure coincidence, as Marjorie gave an explanation to Javier.

When Marjorie was young, she had a close friend from her village named Lance Nickelson. They both grew up in the same village since they were little, so the feelings they had for each other were somewhat genuine and remained unchanged even though they were adults. In fact, they had promised to get married after graduating from college.

However, Arthur's emergence has ruined this entire relationship. He immediately takes Marjorie with him when the latter's mother falls seriously ill and desperately needs money.

However, Marjorie felt as if she had wronged Lance, which was why she had secretly handed him over for the first time to her.

It was then that Sigmund Kersey was born, when he was supposed to be a Nickelson.

The two are deeply in love with each other, so now that they have a son connecting them, Marjorie stays in touch with Lance even after she gets married. The public always thought Arthur was impotent, so they believed Marjorie had a toy boy.

However, Lance is actually his only true love rather than his male toy.

One night a few months ago while Marjorie was sleeping, William suddenly barged into her room and forced his way in all night.

Deeply embarrassed by the incident and frustrated that Arthur is an incompetent person, Marjorie decides to pack up her money and clothes and make him run away.

He takes Sigmund with him with the intention of finding Lance so that the three of them can live as a truly happy family for the rest of their lives. However, even though they had found Lance, Sigmund was completely at odds with him. Lance could not stand how childish and arrogant Sigmund was, while Sigmund could not stand the fact that Lance was a poor man. Thus, the two could not bear to look at each other and could not live together at all.

As time went on, their conflict grew stronger and stronger. In fact, Marjorie even fought with Lance a lot because of their son. The illusion of happiness in Marjorie's mind finally shattered into pieces, completely shattered as Lance took all of her money and jewelry before disappearing without a trace.

However, Lance had left a letter before he disappeared. She claims that she took revenge on him for his betrayal that year.

In fact, Lance even stated that he and Arthur were always in touch with each other.

It was then that Marjorie realized that she had not lied to Arthur for a long time. It's actually the opposite. In fact, Arthur goes so far as to pretend to be the fool in the family, a man who takes care of someone else's son.

Marjorie was truly frightened by Arthur's ability to endure such humiliation. He knew that Arthur would definitely chase after him, which was why he hurriedly ran away.

However, he had no idea where he could escape to, so he took Sigmund with him and they hitched a ride with the vegetable vendor before meeting Javier.

In fact, Marjorie had absolutely no idea what city she was in at the time.

Javier knew that he was telling the truth when he saw his sickly, thin face and the amount of dirt on Sigmund's body, which made him look like a beggar.

"He could have shown everything, but not his mental state."

Javier then thinks about Arthur's ability to hide his true emotions and knows that the mother and child before him will soon die.

“The two of you escaped Kersey of your own accord, so Arthur had absolutely nothing to worry about the consequences. He could have made it seem as if the two of you ended up having an accident, which would not affect his actions, so he would continue to look like a family loser. That's why you think I'm here to kill you both, right?

Marjorie nodded her head with all her might to answer the question, tears welling up her entire face.

He is completely shaken by fear, fearing Javier will end their lives for the sake of his family's honor.

“I know that we have offended you in many ways in the past and said many bad things about you, but we never actually do anything that would cost you personally or financially. Please let us live!”
