The Hero

Chapter 227 I'm Not Giving

They Have a Chance After hanging up the phone with Quinna, Javier goes to see Ciara. 'He's been on this island the whole time, so he probably knows best what happened between William and Arthur, doesn't he? However, when Javier asks questions while they are eating, Ciara declares not knowing what is going on.

“Both have been on the island the whole time. William seemed quite busy before, either discussing some big business or drinking with some people from big families. But recently, he had been living on the island quite obediently. Do you think it's because Grandpa gave him a lot of money?”

Ciara is still too naive. However, she was protected by the old fox, so no one dared to do anything to her.

Therefore, his naivety was only logical.

Meanwhile, in Javier's eyes, the two may be at the height of their dispute, with neither side daring to leave the island.

They did not dare to leave the island because they both wanted to take each other's lives. Although Javier feels a little unhappy with the development of his situation, the good side is that he and the woman are safe.

'If they decide to cease fire someday, call for a ceasefire, and return to their daily lives peacefully, I don't mind leaving all this behind us either. After all, we are family. But if they still let greed control them, and they show no mercy towards their relatives…

'If that happens, I will finish them off wherever they stand.'

After dinner, Javier and Ciara take a walk on the island and enjoy the breeze of the night. Javier feels comfortable enough to have a beautiful woman by his side to accompany him. As they walked, Ciara shook Javier's hand and started acting flirtatious.

“Can I discuss something with you?” Javier spoke seriously.

“No, absolutely not! We're out in the open, so there's no way I'm doing it with you here right now. Drop that!"

Ciara shyly said, “I'm not talking about that! All you did was bully me at this moment!

After finishing being flirtatious, Ciara said, “What I want to discuss with you is whether you allow me to leave the island. I'll be bored to death soon.

'I know that! He's been living here so long that he can't take it anymore.' Javier already thought about it clearly as they walked so he couldn't hide it forever.

'I might be able to hide Ciara, but I won't be able to do the same for Jade, Chessie, and Quinna as well.

That's not realistic.

'Then, I'd better let Ciara out of here because neither William nor Arthur would dare to do anything to her for now.

'It will be easy for him to leave now that the two are at odds with each other. But if they become allies someday and chase after us, there's no way he can leave then.'

Therefore, Javier teases Ciara, "I can let you leave the island, but tell me... How many times are you ready to serve me tonight?"

Ciara timidly said, "You're such a jerk!" Ciara was flirtatious, really looking like everyone else entirely. It was especially when his face was flushed red as if he was drunk.

However, Javier still doesn't know how many times Ciara can have fun with him.

After pursuing the matter continuously, Ciara raised a finger.

Javier asks, “One time?”

Ciara said shyly, "One night."

Javier chuckles cunningly. “You really are a brash person.”

Ciara was really embarrassed and scolded Javier for being a jerk. After that, of course, an indescribable situation occurred within the mansion…

Javier takes Ciara with him to say goodbye to the old fox the next day. Javier gave Ciara three options on the way there.

“One, you come with me wherever I go. This way, I will be able to protect you, as well as the people by my side. Two, you follow Chessie, I'm sure I don't need to explain any further about this option.

“Three, you stay together with Jade. There too, so I can relax with you there.”

Ciara raised her beautiful eyes and pondered for a moment before finally making up her mind.

I also don't want to stay with Jade because she's a workaholic, which is so boring!”

Javier looked surprised. "I think you're right, so you better stay on the island."

Ciara immediately panicked. “I'm not finished! I tried to say that I wanted to move between Chessie and Jade so that I could move to another place when I was bored. Then, I'll fly to see you whenever I miss you. Okay?"

Javier laughing. "You're a rather greedy person." Ciara shook her arm.

“Can I, Javier? Would help?" Javier hurriedly stopped him and softly said, "Stop shaking me, or we'll do it here, right now."

Ciara's face flushed. If not for them approaching where the old fox was, he would have punched Javier.

There was not much to say when they met Zephiel aside from a simple farewell and taking care of herself.

Just as Javier was about to leave, Zephiel suddenly called out to him.

Javier initially thought the old fox wanted to tell him something, but the latter hesitated for a moment and finally waved his hand. "Come on, leave me!"

“Do you have something you want to tell us, Grandpa?”

No matter how much Javier and Ciara urged the matter, Zephiel was still stubborn to remain silent, only smiling and saying that it was a "secret".

Ciara pouting. “Grandfather always cheats others. He said it was a secret, but it might actually be just a trick to make us riled up!”

Javier thought for a moment. 'He was not entirely wrong because the old fox would indeed do such a thing

' However, I feel there is something different about him since the flag-raising ceremony on the national day began. I can't determine what's different about him, plus there's nothing clear about him that's changed in terms of appearance. It was just a hunch.'

After being unable to figure out why, Javier decides to call off the matter and leave the island, with Ciara pulling him off like a freed prisoner.

Zephiel's face was filled with kindness as she watched Ciara and Javier run off into the distance, and she smiled.

“No rush, no rush at all. We have all the opportunities we need.”.

After returning to the country, Ciara soon meets with Chessie as she hears about Chessie being shot.

Ciara was in a panic at the time, insisting that their firearm team carry a missile to blow Saul to pieces.

It was only after she heard that Saul had been sentenced to death by reprieve that Ciara was able to calm down.

According to the indictment against Saul, the amount of medicine he traded was enough for him to exchange for missiles to blow everyone up.

However, the judge decided to give b*stard the death penalty with a reprieve for his humanity.

In fact, the public supported this decision because, for Saul, staying alive to repent of his sins was far better than giving him a quick death.

He now loses his hearing, sight, taste, and mobility. All he could do every day was think.

But that's all he can do.

In fact, even if he wanted to say something to anyone, all he could get out of his mouth was "ahh".

Just then, in his heart, he regretted his life for firing that shot towards Chessie. If he was willing to submit his territory obediently and then flee abroad while his case had yet to be investigated, he would be able to enjoy the luxury of a lifetime!

However, humans will always be taken over by their greed. In the end, Saul was given a life of torment like a corpse until the day the death penalty was handed down.

However, Javier does not understand his suffering, nor does he want it. Instead, he just wanted Chinaea to hurry up and get listed on the market.
