The Hero

Chapter 220 Gutsy

So, Javier sent Marjorie and Sigmund to Xerxes Village.

Xerxes Village was no longer a poor and dilapidated place. After all, Javier had invested so much money into the place. Now, all the roads leading out of the mountain had been opened.

Moreover, due to the incident with Edelgard Weiss, many people started to pay attention to this place. The city council also paid special attention to it. With so much attention and attention given to the place, it could be said that Xerxes Village had undergone a tremendous change. At the very least, a car could drive straight to the deepest part of the village unscathed.

After entrusting Marjorie and Sigmund to the village chief, Thomas Bloom, Javier stayed there for half a day to see the latest changes in the village.

The situation in the village is much better. Although it had only been a few months, the changes in the village were very noticeable. In addition to successfully renovating the dangerous house, the villagers are also in a much better state of mind and looking forward to achieving their life goals.

Thomas Bloom said, “We are not afraid of poverty or hardship. We are afraid of having no purpose in life.

This year, we will be working on a two-acre plot that we can rely on to harvest crops to feed us next year. Everything is perfect now. We can all see this goal."

With that goal in mind, everyone in the village was motivated. They worked hard to make their village rich and prosperous. This shared destination was not only lively in the village, but it also resounded loudly in the hearts of the villagers.

Javier loves this lively environment. He believes Sigmund will get a positive influence in this place that is loaded with motivation and positive energy.

On his way out of Xerxes Village, Javier receives a call from Mr. Gander.

"Trs. Kersey, the film has been edited, and the post-production process is complete. There's a preview in the company. Do you want to attend?”

Javier wants to go. However, after considering it for a moment, he decided not to. He wanted to wait until the Osborn Awards to see it.

Javier turned his car around and drove towards Ferris Sky, then rushed to Cillian Nolan's house.

By then, Cillian's son and son-in-law had already left the country. All the furniture in the house was covered in white cloth.

Although used to cover furniture and protect it from dust, it makes the house look very solemn, especially the black and white photos of Cillian.

Carrying two bottles of wine, Javier walks into Cillian's house.

He opened two bottles of wine.

One bottle for him, and the other for his teacher, Cillian, who no longer existed in this world.

“How great would it be if you were alive. It's rare to have someone I admire so much, and yet you're dead now.

The film has been edited. I dare not watch it. If the results are not good, I will disappoint you.

“Cillian, I really miss the times when we found a great place to drink and chat. If only you were alive now. Even if we don't win Osborn this time, there will at least be a next time. I'll form the best team for you. Sigh, we will give our best from year to year, until finally we get Osborn.”

While drinking, Javier muttered.

Javier really admired this old man from the bottom of his heart.

If he was in Cillian's position, he believed that he would not be half of Cillian's.

In both character and ethics, his abilities were unrivalled. His talent is very rare. It is sad that the perfect person, the perfect actor, and the perfect artist have died so early in his life.

After finishing a bottle of wine, Javier prepared to leave. At that moment, a gust of wind blew. Then, the door of the room creaked open.

Javier surprised. The little wine he had just drank woke him up.

He sighed, feeling that Cillian's affection was gone. However, he did not want Cilian to come back to life in broad daylight. That's too scary!

“Wait, what are you doing here ?!”

Dana replied, “This is the anniversary of Cillian's death. Since his son and daughter-in-law have gone abroad, it is fitting that I visit him in memory of him. However, I was a little tired earlier, so I went to the bedroom to lie down for a while. I was shocked when I heard the murmur outside, so I immediately went out to take a look. Who would have thought it was you!

Javier speechless. He knows it. Cillian's son went abroad. It was impossible for him to leave the window open!

To think that he had been shocked from his previous wits. Everything makes sense now. Dana's opening the window!

Seeing Dana, Javier inevitably praised her. "You're brave enough!"

There was no one else in the big room. There was only a black-and-white photo hanging on the wall, but he still had the guts to sleep in that house.

Despite the fact that she is a woman, Javier believes that even ordinary men would not have the guts to do so.

However, Dana did not think too much about it. “He is my mentor, not an outsider. If this was an outsider's house, of course I wouldn't dare to do the same.”

Now that he had said it like that, it made a lot of sense. No child is afraid of the home of his deceased parents. When it comes to someone close who is very attentive, it is only natural that there will not be much fear.

Taking out a cigarette, Javier lit it up and calmed himself down.

Dana goes to the restroom to handle her daily affairs, then she washes her face before coming out and says, “You're a good man, Javier. You even remember the anniversary of Cillian's death and came here to commemorate her.”

Those words made Javier feel a little awkward. In reality, he didn't remember Cillian's death anniversary. He came here because of the movie.

However, this was definitely not something he could say out loud, so he did not answer too much regarding the matter.

After smoking for a while, he asked Dana, “Are you planning to stay here tonight?”

Dana came out of the restroom and said awkwardly, "I'm not that brave."

That's understandable. He only dared to sleep in this house during the day. He did not dare to sleep there while facing a photo of his deceased mentor at night.

After finishing his cigarette, Javier stood up and cleaned his pants before calling Dana. “I'll go. How's yours?"

Dana replied, “I'm also done here. Let's go together!”

After tidying up the house, Javier and Dana close the window and leave together.

After Dana got in the car, Javier approached the side of his car and asked, “Where are you going?”

Dana thought for a moment before blushing. "I haven't thought about it."

Javier understands Dana's thinking based on her answer. It just so happened that his mind was in harmony with his.

After gesturing for Dana to follow his car, Javier goes to a relatively distant hotel.

Dana obviously knew what was going to happen next, so she wore sunglasses, a scarf, and a mask to hide herself properly.

If Javier hadn't seen the clothes he was wearing just a moment ago, he wouldn't have recognized Dana.

After registering and entering the room, Javier herded Dana in.
