"Sorry... Scorpion."
Dong Xie looked at the Statue of Liberty standing on the Hudson River in front of him, and he was not surprised by what the woman behind him was about to say.
He didn't want to look at her face, and he projected all his pain on the Statue of Liberty before him.
He swore that after today, he would never set foot on Manhattan Island again. He has already decided to leave NY and go to LA. NY is in the northeast of country M, and LA is on the west coast of country M. The distance is really far enough. Ironically, he had decided to take her to LA, to Hollywood. She likes Hollywood movies...
He stretched out his hand in front of him, and slowly spread out his palm, on which was the engagement ring she had just returned to him.
"You don't need to return the ring to me. Since... Wilvin is not dead, he is the heir of the family. Most of the money I bought the diamond ring was from my father's inheritance. Now, he is the Earl of Gominick."
"Scorpion, I'm sorry... you'll find better girls... all I can say is I'm sorry. Also, I'm sorry about your uncle..."
…
Dong Xie never realized that he would hate Werwin. After all, Welwin was his adopted brother, the biological son of his adoptive father, Count Gominick. However, he still hated Welwin. A year and a half ago, everyone thought he was dead, but in fact he went to the Afrika area. After spending the days that were worse than death, he returned from hell. Moreover, they brought back important information about the Black Shadow Sect, and not long ago successfully assisted the government of country M in capturing the leader of the Black Shadow Sect, Agnes Gerzwaren.
But... he deliberately faked his death, but he didn't tell Dong Xie and Isabella. Because he was poisoned by a kind of voodoo at that time, the survival rate was extremely slim. So, he chose to feign death, chose to go to Afrika, and created the illusion that he died there with no bones left.
Because of his death, Dong Xie became engaged to Isabella from the "spare tire". However, he finally undoes the voodoo and returns successfully. All the happiness he had gained disappeared overnight. This made Dong Xie hate Werwin extremely. Of course, hate will be hated, and he has a bottom line in life. Just like this, he will not betray the Gominik family and murder Wilvin.
The biggest reason for him to act like this in a fit of anger is...
It had been more than three hours since Isabella left.
The surface of the Hudson River has gradually been dyed golden by the sinking sunset.
He will never forget that day.
He took out his mobile phone and called Wilvin.
The call was quickly connected.
"Wilvin... Gominik, why do you have to..."
"Do you mean Isabella, or your uncle?"
"Yes, although my uncle is a member of the Black Shadow Sect, he has been passing on information to you all the time... It was agreed back then, as long as I pass on the information to you, not only can I be adopted, but also all the sins that uncle has committed in the past can be absolved... "
"It is said in the Bible that those who justify the wicked and those who define them as evil are abominations of Jehovah. Man's good deeds cannot offset man's evil. He must accept judgment and then make atonement. Of course, he has provided information over the years , can be sentenced according to the circumstances, so it should be possible to avoid death."
"Vervin Gominik! You do not keep your word!"
"I don't know anything about the agreement that father made with your uncle back then. If it were me, I would not make such a promise. My piety to God is more important than anything else. Those who commit crimes must not escape judgment. Just like those who do good , must not be wronged, it is the same reason."
…
"So... that's why you leaked his whereabouts to us? And then killed Welvin? As a result, things were revealed and you entered this prison?"
Agnes looked at the damp and closed cage in front of her, and listened to Dong Xie's narration. After all, it's been an hour since they woke up, and nothing happened.
"Uncle committed suicide... the day before the trial. He couldn't bear the endless prison life, and he was not in good health due to diabetes. Thinking about the days to come, he finally chose death, sharpened his toothbrush and cut his wrist... "
Speaking of this, Dong Xie's face became extremely sad.
"The place where he committed suicide is in this Sai Karen Prison?"
"Yes… "
"And then? Are you going to unite with our people to kill Wilvin?"
"Actually, I'm really stupid..." Dong Xie sighed, "Walvin had expected that uncle's subordinates would come to me. At that time, after I heard the news of uncle's suicide, I was overwhelmed with anger, and Isabella I finally lost my mind. Then I joined forces with people from the Black Shadow Sect to reveal his whereabouts and kill him... but I don't know how many people were watching me at that time... I was in the Gominik family so For many years, everyone around me, even a driver, has been Welvin's eyeliner, and no one regards me as a Gominik."
"He's trying to lure a snake out of its hole."
"The adoption of me was a deal between my uncle and the earl, and my parents didn't know about it. I was just a hostage. My uncle hoped that the Gominik family would provide them with asylum, and they did their best. But as far as the result..."
"As expected of Jude, he refuses to do business that loses money at all, and his calculation is very shrewd. On the one hand, he can obtain your psychic ability, and on the other hand, he can obtain information about the Black Shadow Sect."
When Agnes said this, she showed a very disdainful expression.
"However, your uncle is actually one of us. I don't even know about it..." Agnes gradually realized that the Black Shadow Sect was no longer monolithic, and her control over the sect was no longer as strong as when her mother was there. strong. So much so that she didn't know who were the sect's informants and spies.
"Even after the death of his parents, Uncle kept sending information to the Gominik family. But in the end... he still went to jail..."
"Wilven Gominik said... the wicked must be judged, just as the good cannot be wronged?" Agnes seemed to hear the big joke: "There is no joke that is more ridiculous."
then…
There was another silence.
Dong Xie looked at the locked cell, then picked up the examination paper and looked at it.
In fact, Wilvin may be right. But... is the world really so black and white
After a long while, Agnes broke the silence.
"what is that?"
Dong Xie raised his head and stared blankly ahead.
Then, he opened his eyes wide!
He saw a figure standing more than twenty meters away from the cell in front of him.
Due to the dim light, Dong Xie couldn't see clearly for a while, but at this moment... he felt as if he had been struck by lightning...
"Uncle... Uncle?"
