The Hero

Chapter 261 Departing Work

Javier's been watching Arthur's movements since the latter left his residence.

Arthur was very quiet. Javier ultimately hears nothing, Arthur doesn't even leave the island.

After Javier finished dinner and took a walk around the island, Ciara quietly asked, “Does he already know what you're doing, Javier?”

Javier shook his head. "I don't think so. Judging from his emotions, he probably should have been stirring up something for us to see now if he had seen through my plan. The fact that he didn't make a single move just meant that he started planning something. The longer he stays silent, the deeper his plan is.”

Ciara admitted and said, "It's like the story about the viper and the dog that the old fox always told me."

Zephiel did tell this story to Javier and Ciara when they were kids.

Ciara had forgotten most of her story, but vaguely she still remembered that it was about how the venomous snake remained silent after biting someone while the dog continued to bark. At that time, Ciara thought Arthur's actions were very similar to a poisonous snake.

Javier stroked his head and then carried it as they continued on their way…

For the next seven days, Ciara was shrouded in happiness, enjoying the joy of having Javier by her side every day.

In fact, it was very difficult to imagine how a woman as beautiful as her had such great desires.

But that is the truth of the matter. No matter how strong her desire was, it would not make her feel the urge because she could not look at another man.

Instead, it was only when he was around Javier that he would have such a strong urge as if he was pouring all his pure passion into Javier.

In addition, Javier is indeed a trustworthy and reliable “kawan” who can play with him every day in a very rough way.

After seven days, it was time for Javier to return to the island. 1

Javier seems to be getting thinner all the time, which makes Ciara feel sad. “It looks like you're getting thinner, Javier.”

Javier replied, "That's because you kept squeezing every juice I had all this time."

Ciara felt ashamed as well as happy in her heart. Javier's departure doesn't feel so sad for him now after enjoying seven full days together.

There was not a single thing that happened on the island that the old fox was unaware of. In fact, Javier didn't have to hide it from her.

So, the old fox knew everything about what Javier had done to Arthur, even knowing as far as Javier was using the DNA report.

“The cruelest thing a person can do to another person is to have their mentality shattered before them, causing them to live in their own mistakes forever. They will not be able to sleep every night, nor will they be able to prove the truth with the dead.”

The old fox lowered his head and asked Javier with a frown, "Who taught you that?"

Javier knows that the old fox does not feel comfortable with whatever has happened, but he does not intend to shirk his responsibilities.

“I myself never learned it. I just got the idea under pressure. You know me best, I'm not going to fight anyone else for anything, yet you just have to make me your lightning rod. They have targeted and used me through all sorts of methods, yet you are now asking me from whom I learned how to reply …

"If I really have to name someone, I guess it has to be you."

The old fox was speechless at that moment.

What Javier said is true. In the past, he has shown love to Javier. In addition, he uses this love to make Javier a target of public hatred so that he can learn more about the world and heal Javier from his "unambitious" personality". However, Zephiel never thought that what was once an act of kindness would end up being a quarrel at this moment.

'Even if as Javier said, he's not the one who wants to start this fight. William and Arthur caused it, but…

After a moment of silence, the old fox finally said, “Despite what happens in the future, I want you to do your best to keep them alive. One is my son, and the other is my grandson.”

Javier became increasingly uncomfortable the more he heard this because the old fox made him sound like a ferocious beast that would not let go of its target in plain sight.

“Grandfather, I can't say anything about that because I'm basically not a competitive person. However, if someone tries and kills people close to me or me, you cannot possibly disagree with letting me strike back.

“You never once told me about what happened to you in the past, but out of your seven brothers, in the end only two of you are left. Two were missing after leaving home, while two others died in accidents. Isn't this war of eight princes what you've been through personally!?”

Zephiel's anger rose upwards, and he slammed the table next to him, causing the tea device to fall. "You motherfucker!"
