The Hero
Chapter 355 I'm Not Worth It
Not Forgetting After removing Renly's entrails, Piers plopped into a leather chair, muttering to himself, “Kerseys here, and now this kid is turning into a chip from the old block. Can't believe he dragged the Soroy family here to rub this on my face!
"As if disrespecting me wasn't enough, he should use this as an excuse to tie them into an alliance! Lord. Schemer **. is it!”
He picked up his phone. Without having to browse through her contact list, she pressed a series of numbers onto the screen. Moments later, Zephiel's voice was heard over the phone.
” From one elderly to another elderly: Do you mind not waking me up if you can't sleep?”
“Well, you didn't sleep at all, fox. You must feel big and arrogant after all this! Gosh, I'm sure I interrupted your victory dance!” Piers growling.
No sound came from the other side for a long time. That was long enough to stir up Piers' curiosity.
What can that man do? Why always alone?
His question was soon answered when the unmistakable song was heard over his phone…
“Never give up! It will never disappoint you! Never turn around and leave you! It will never make you cry, it will never say goodbye! I will never lie or hurt you"
To add insult to injury, Zephiel sang along, his tone and tone so off track that Piers barely knew he was playing Rick.
But Lord, pride in his misaligned utterances! Lack of respect! It pissed the Piers off to no end!
"Can you stop? You don't have to sing a yodel in the middle of the night just because I suspect you did. You will make some children cry, ”bentaknya.
"What makes you so arrogant, huh?"
He paused for a moment and then added, “Tell me, fox. It's not gonna be some kind of gotcha for Renly, is it?” The music on the other hand stopped immediately.
“God, and they say age comes with wisdom. The way you think just reminds me of the saying 'Once a boy, twice a kid,'” Zephiel snapped.
“Since when have I ever cared to go back to a child, huh?”
He doesn't talk, and he means it. If Zephiel felt the need to frame Renly and pay him back, it would be a compliment to the man rather than a form of punishment. A man over seventy years of age who devised a scheme against a foolish child would basically acknowledge the child as an equal enemy,
Indeed, Piers had also not expected Zephiel to do such a thing. In other words, the whole scheme was Javier's idea back then.
“Wah, whoa, whoa! So you have a sly little guy as a grandson. Love the genetics you've passed down, old man.
It sounds like a compliment to be thrown, but Zephiel has spent years at odds with Piers to learn that it is more disrespectful than praise.
Not a person who is resistant to snark, he quipped, “Your grandson is not bad either! Really similar to older people!”
Piers knew he was wrong, so he would not spend his time exchanging jokes again. He cut straight into the chase. “So, Renly forced you to smoke. Will your child come knocking on my door to force me to drink a bad beer?”.
“You'll be drinking sooner or later, man, but it won't be like that. Javier's not as ambitious as your dog. He's a ba**ngan. Slow too. If you don't hit him, he'll never hit you. But you can't spell jack*ss without *ss, so if you force his hand? Well, well, he'll be in so much pain that I won't be able to stop him. You'll be alone when that happens, man.”
It sounds like pointless banter between two parents. Verbal duels are all insinuating and there is no substance or content. However, as he puts down his phone, Piers discovers that his fears have been cured.
He now knows that Javier is not the type to start a war.
If Javier takes advantage of his new partnership with the Soroy family and comes straight to the Piers house, loudly demanding that he drink the beer he has bought for him.
The context will be different too. When Renly makes Zephiel receive her gift, she has brought benefits to the family.
Zephiel practically smiled among the suction.
His visit would be akin to kicking someone who had already fallen.
Indeed, even if Javier did something like that, it wouldn't hurt Piers' ego.
He and Zephiel had lived long enough to raise their heads high or bow their heads in shame. At an age like theirs, few things can really leave them confused.
Their grandchildren, however, may think differently. They may see this as a kind of humiliation and therefore a responsible axis to ignite a conflict that neither side can fully suppress.
Both Piers and Zephiel knew that, if such a clash were to occur, both sides would suffer dire consequences.
That's why the Piers exiled Renly, who had just suffered a huge loss, on the island for two years. He's still worried about Javier's side of the equation. It was the recklessness and haughty attitude of youth that made him worry about his age as usual. He was afraid that the young man would bring a bottle of liquor to his place and force him to undergo the same bullying as his grandfather did.
The drink did not scare him. He could always throw it all away if he ended up drunk. But the offense his junior might commit would be much harder to solve. This was why Zephiel's assessment of her grandson calmed her down. She tells him that her grandson is stubborn as he is and capable of being her, but he is not unreasonable.
His grandson may not have the ambition to make a profit or take part in the competition for it, but he is not against retaliation.
Zephiel even appeared to threaten him. He basically tells Piers that further provocation will turn Javier into a bigger person than he was before. Zephiel claims that he will not be able to stop her, but in fact he will not try. In other words, if Renly continued his punch, then he would give Javier permission to strike back!
Piers put down his phone and leaned back in his chair, his eyes closed, Moments later, he muttered to himself, saying, “And they say men always covet other people's wives while seeing their own children as the best. Can't disagree with that anymore! The grass is greener in the
his grass. His granddaughter at least knew that lightning struck the tallest tree. Why can't I have the same level of wisdom?”
Javier's gone.
As soon as the curtains closed their last dance, she left Angelina's side. He returns to Yuzuia just in time to meet Gabby and Levi, who both arrive at the same time.
He had requested them from Mackenzie a moment ago, and now they both came with about 200 people trained by the security company Sam Langdon.
It was nice to have someone like Gabby, who was good at using Barrett's sniper rifle and would be a great team leader. Levi's skill was also beyond doubt. After all their bloody conflicts on the battlefield, the two became tired of fighting. That's why Javier wants both of them back.
They can lead the people provided by Sam's security company and help ensure May's success as she takes on the role of family leader.
Javier glanced at*********** as clearly as possible once he saw Gabby. "Yes God! Girl, how many shots have you fired lately? Your assets seem to be shrinking!” Gaby nodded.
“I have changed my specialty into a bazooka. I blew up Levi every night without fail and listened to him beg me to stop."
Levi chuckled. "Wait, are you sure I'm begging?" A small dirty mockery would only increase the friendship forged through countless brushes with death rather than defiling it.
After making small talk with them, Javier goes to meet Mei. By that time, most of the plantations had been cleared and rebuilt. What was broken has been repaired. What is less repaired.
Mei kneels as soon as she sees Javier, her behavior is no different than a medieval show of loyalty and ceremonial gratitude. Javier lets her do it for about a second as she does it on behalf of her dead parents and siblings, but she soon helps him.
“You are my woman. It's only natural that I also take care of your business.”
He has made such statements right in front of the crowd despite Mei rising as the newest family leader of the Hachison family.
Mei surprised.
She had fantasized about it before, but ...who did she think it would come true? But now, it seems like it has come true. He had made a public statement, and he was simply blown away. His mind drifted and began to disagree. There was his identity, and then there was his daughter.
He shook his head, "I'm honored, Sir, but I'm afraid I .. don't deserve this."
