Gabor's words made Kerry fall into deep thought. Gabor looked here and there, but he didn't care about Kerry's silence.
After a moment, Kerry suddenly called out: "Gabor."
Gabor turned his head and looked at him, confused: "What?"
"Even if the mermaid dies, I want to keep him by my side."
Gabor was stunned by the unusually serious tone. He didn't understand why Kerry suddenly said such words.
"Brother Kerry, you... are so strange." Gabor came over and picked up the book that recorded the biography of mermaids: "Is it because you are too interested in mermaids? It doesn't matter, I can take you to see real mermaids. .”
So there is no need for such a strong possessive desire. Gabor thinks that Kerry is possessive because he likes the mermaid too much but cannot see it.
Kerry suddenly chuckled and shook his head, saying: "It's okay."
Yes, how could a child like Gabo know his own thoughts
Countdown to the New Year, in two hours, Kerry will be eighteen.
Eighteen years old is a turning point in life, a coming-of-age ceremony for all teenagers on the continent.
However, Kerry is destined not to receive such a coming-of-age ceremony. Even if Master Guaguez is good friends with him, it will not change his fate of being bullied.
At the age of eighteen, Kerry held the wooden sculpture left by his mother and entered his dream early.
The matter of cooperating with Count Guaguez was earlier than Kerry imagined. The rhetoric and pleading he had prepared were of no use at all, and Count Guagues was willing to cooperate with him.
"Although this is presumptuous, I still want to ask." Kerry said sincerely: "You should be very clear about my identity. I have nothing to promise you. Under such circumstances, why are you willing to talk to me? What about cooperation?”
Count Guaguez looked at him indifferently and hummed: "It is what I need to bring down your father, and helping you to rise to power is just incidental to me pulling your father down."
Kerry smiled and agreed, but there was a hint of gloom in his eyes.
If only it were that simple.
Kerry told Count Guagues everything he knew, including the contacts between some businessmen who came to the mansion and Count Hilal.
Don't blame him for being ruthless. Even if he doesn't get what he wants in the end, it will still be better than his current life. In other words, success or failure, his life can only be better, not worse.
After the new year comes early spring, the ice and snow will gradually melt, everything will revive, and his mermaid will come back.
[Kerry's favorability towards Qi Yan +10, current favorability: 60]
He returned to Hilal Mansion and continued to be his own rice bug, enduring the ridicule and insults of his brothers every day. However, since Gabor came, no one hit him. It must be the count's extra instructions.
Time passed through his fingers like this, and no one noticed Kerry's secret actions, because he played the image of a weakling so well. Those who were good only remembered the way he was beaten and scolded, and ignored the growing pain in his eyes. Intense hatred.
Hate that is so deep into one's bones definitely doesn't happen in one day. Who would have imagined how one's state of mind would change as each day passes.
Spring is coming, and the ice on the sea has completely melted. Kerry was very happy these days. He stood on the rocks every night and looked into the distance of the sea.
He has grown taller and stronger as he turns one year older. Even if he eats unnutritious food and misses an occasional meal, he is still growing.
On the first day, he didn't see the light blue that he liked. Kerry returned disappointed and comforted himself in his heart that it would be okay and he would be back tomorrow.
The next day, there was still no figure that worried him.
The third day, the fourth day, the fifth day...
Kerry went from being comforted at the beginning, to a little bit of shirk, and finally to the rain now. It was just a change in seven days.
He was afraid, afraid, afraid that the mermaid would deceive him like the others and then leave him forever.
-Sure enough, I shouldn't have let him go in the first place.
[Kerry's blackening degree towards Qi Yan is +10, current blackening degree: 10]
Qi Yan, who was swimming in the deep sea, was stunned for a moment, and then felt helpless.
Believe it or not, he's lost...
Although this is funny, it is true. Qi Yan got lost and didn't know which sea area he had gone to. He obviously rushed back from the volcanic sea several days in advance, but he still delayed his business.
The degree of blackening is no joke. After much deliberation, Qi Yan used his points to redeem the route map back from the system.
A whole seven days passed, and Kerry didn't see Qi Yan. He was extremely disappointed, and at the same time, a gloom hit his heart like a monster.
—How could he not come back? He promised me! Will definitely come back!
The mood was dull, even a little crazy. Kerry returned to the mansion unhappily and was stopped by a familiar yet unfamiliar voice.
"Hello." The woman's gentle voice revealed a hint of familiarity: "Do you still remember me? Kerry Hilal."
Kerry was stunned and looked over following the voice. A girl wearing a luxurious gold-rimmed dress stood there. Her beautiful face was less childish and more mature.
—It’s Nasha.
Kerry nodded and replied in an unfamiliar and unfamiliar tone: "Hello, Nasha."
"I just said, you should still remember me." Nasha walked over in two or three steps, came to Kerry familiarly, and wanted to hold his arm, but Kerry quickly dodged him.
Nasha's hand froze in mid-air and the atmosphere became awkward for a moment.
Kerry looked at her, moved his Adam's apple, and his completely changed voice had a bit of the hoarse magnetism of a young man: "Excuse me, what can I do?"
Nasha was not annoyed and smiled solemnly: "I am very happy to come to Count Hilal's residence again."
"Then please ask the saint to go to the front hall. The tower at the side entrance is not the place where guests should come."
Nasha's words made Kerry's already gloomy mood even more unhappy. She said this clearly to laugh at him.
"Maybe I said something to make you unhappy, but I am also very happy to see you." Nasha's expression remained unchanged, and she was not embarrassed or embarrassed by Kerry's 'expulsion order'.
Kerry said nothing, and looked at Nasha with dark eyes, as if waiting for her next words.
But Nasha just looked at him with a smile and said nothing more.
Kerry was a little impatient, turned around and said, "Saint, please help yourself, I'm going back."
"Kerry!" Nasha finally called: "Don't you want to become stronger? Are you willing to be a rice bug for the rest of your life?"
Kerry stopped walking forward, turned around suddenly, and stared at Nasha.
Nasha knew that she had made the right bet. She stroked the hair hanging down from her temples, and there was a hint of determination in her brows. The voice was soft, but impossible to ignore.
"Would you like to cooperate with me? Kerry."
