Chapter 246: The Truth of the Past [Two in One]
"I'm not dead, will you be disappointed?" Jack didn't look up, but his tone was slightly mocking.
"You, why do you think that?" Marlowe's excited expression froze suddenly, not understanding why his brother would talk like that.
He had imagined countless times how excited he would be if one day Delenn was alive in front of him.
didn't expect Delen to react so coldly.
Isn't he happy?
The two men in black were anxious for him behind him, obviously a little dissatisfied with Jack's answer, what did he call that? Is that what a younger brother should say to an older brother who has missed him for so long?
"You've always hated me, haven't you? Ten years ago, you should have been glad I died, right? Jack slowly raised his head, his smile narrowed, and his eyes were as cold as frost.
Lian Yue sat closest and saw his expression most clearly, and couldn't help but feel sorry for him for a while.
"I... I didn't hate you! ”
Marlowe was anxious to deny it. I subconsciously wanted to reach out and pull him, but I forgot that my body was fixed and I couldn't move.
"I just envy you, envy that you can do what you want, and I can't..."
In the end, his voice became lower and lower, obviously reminiscing about the past, and those inescapable emotions welled up in his heart.
"I'm my brother, I'm older than you, my family has always asked me the most, I just envy you, I want to be like you, I can be more free."
"You can choose what you like and what you want in the future." As he spoke, he looked at Jack with a wistful look in his eyes.
"I want to be like you, free. I just envy you, I didn't think it would hurt you, I didn't mean to, if I knew that my willfulness would hurt you that day, I, I wouldn't. Marlowe's tone was full of self-reproach, all apologies to Jack.
Jack's brow furrowed, apparently remembering the past.
They are two brothers of the same mother, because Marlowe was born 2 years earlier than him, so they became the well-deserved first heir of the family, and they were raised according to the family heirs from an early age.
Because he is the heir of the family, he has higher requirements for him, he must be excellent, he must be perfect in everything, he must learn to control his emotions and desires, and he grew up with a perfect and arrogant mask.
And Jack is different.
The family has very little requirements for him, who is not the first heir, and encourages him to liberate his nature, pursue himself, and just do what he likes.
But after all, the two of them are just brothers who are 2 years apart, one lives a delicate and perfect masked life, and the other is mischievous and proficient, and it is difficult to speak a lot of common language.
When he was a child, Marlowe always felt that his brother was a failure like this, hated him, demanded him, and wanted to change him, but after making a lot of efforts for this, he found that he seemed to be the person who didn't fit in in the family.
Instead, he began to envy his younger brother.
But in Jack's memory when he was a child, he was still the brother who pursued perfection in everything, looked down on him and hated him, and even took it upon himself to let him die "instead" of him!
He remembered that it was the day Marlowe was invited to the Cecil family's wedding.
He didn't want to go, but his brother pressed him to go, and when he arrived at the place, he changed into his clothes on a whim and exchanged identities with him.
Then, by chance, it happened to be the infighting of the Cecil family, and the idea was hit on Marlowe's head, but he didn't know that the people present at that time had become Delen.
So, a "well-planned" accident happened, outside of Bowlby's control, Delenn "lost his life", and the two families formed a grudge, if it weren't for Cecil's current head of the family and some thin faces, I am afraid that under the wrath of the Ferdinand family, the entire Cecil family would be burned.
"But why didn't you come back to me?" Marlowe was a little aggrieved, he didn't mean to hurt his brother and almost lost his life, he has been blaming himself all these years, and even regretting why the person who had the accident was not himself.
"Didn't you mean to?"
Jack's tone was a little cold, but he knew in his heart that maybe it wasn't the case.
The man in black next to him sounded very anxious and wanted to defend Marlowe.
Lian Yue's eyes also went back and forth between the two, and she could see that Jack actually minded a lot, in fact, it was better for the two of them to talk about things.
"So, what really happened back then?" Lian Yue interjected, attracting everyone's attention.
"I know!" Seeing that both of them were a little awkward, Ashley simply spoke, "Back then, today's Captain Cecil was getting married, and the two brothers went to attend the wedding. At the wedding, Delenn swapped identities with Marlowe for fun. ”
Hearing this, Lian Yue felt quite in line with Jack's temperament, and was about to nod, but suddenly noticed the subtle expressions on the faces of the two.
Jack, in particular, was smiling rather than smiling.
Then after the ceremony, Jeremy suddenly attacked Deren because of a provocation, and wanted to compete with Delenn in front of his new wife to show his strength... However, who knows, the venue that was supposed to be a daily drill suddenly exploded, and Delen was trapped in it and could not be rescued, and when everyone could finally rescue after half an hour, there were already 'no bones'. ”
Lian Yue and Ricardo are the first people to hear the secrets of the year, and naturally heard some of the loopholes at this time.
What age are they? A broken drill field experience can only be rescued after half an hour? Also, why would a groom have such a contest with guests on his wedding day? Sure enough, something happened afterwards.
"Was it planned by Bowlby?" Lian Yue rang out the commission that Captain Cecil had had, and asked subconsciously.
"Maybe!" Jack didn't deny it, and Marlowe looked helpless, as if this wasn't really that important to them.
"So, why didn't you die?" Lian Yue directly asked this question that everyone is very concerned about.
"Hmph, I almost died, and I didn't deserve to die, so I crawled out desperately," he said, looking at Marlowe coldly, "and then, I heard someone outside saying that if they found me first, they would not let me come back alive, and I would have escaped." ”
"You think I did it?" Marlowe suddenly understood what was in his eyes, and pointed to himself, incredulous.
"All I know is that it's really your guy." Jack didn't admit it, didn't deny it, and snorted lightly, "Otherwise, how can I explain that my brother has always hated me, how could he suddenly cooperate with me to play the game of identity reversal?" ”
Hearing him say this, a few people realized that there seemed to be a hidden meaning in this.
"Who? Who is it? Says who? Marlowe reacted more and asked loudly.
"Pyrrhus Larry." Jack did not avoid his gaze and said bluntly, "As far as I know, after the incident, he was sent to Haier Star to be raised and enjoy the glory. ”
Yes?! The two men in black were suddenly startled, and opened their mouths to exclaim: "It's you!" ”
"You killed him?" Marlowe frowned, and suddenly understood why Larry, who was banished to Hel by him ten years ago, suddenly died five years ago, and died in the wilderness.
It turned out that it was Delen's hand! Then he suddenly understood.
The mystery that had been haunting him all this time was solved, and he spoke: "You misunderstood, he was not raised by Rong, but expelled from the family by me. ”
"He's the third uncle's man, and he's been lurking around me all along. You know, since my father ascended to the position of head of the family, Uncle Santang has been secretly coveting the family business, and from time to time he has made some moves. ”
"We have experienced so many assassinations since we were children, including the hand comparison of the third cousin, I didn't expect that he would actually reach you. I'm sorry! ”
Marlowe's sincerity revealed the secrets of their family at once, except for the rather curious Lianyue, Ricardo and Ashley were a little troubled.
Jack, who has always been very smart, reacted quickly, and as he turned the shuttle to autopilot, he rummaged through his database, as if to find something to confirm this.
"Why did you kill me?" It was Jack's voice, but it was still a little greener than it was now.
"Hey, hey, hey~ Because the eldest young master wants your life!"
"If you die, no one will covet his place! He can sit back and relax forever! Hahahaha! ”
"You don't know, the eldest young master already knew that someone would do something to him, so he just planned it, hehehe..." The man's voice was a little crazy, and he heard some sadness in people's ears.
Lian Yue watched the video he recorded of a middle-aged white-haired man, the man in the picture was dressed neatly in black, looking kind and decent, but the words he said were so cold and crazy.
"Damn it!" Marlowe cursed, anxious to explain, but Jack stopped him.
"Hahaha! Kill me, kill me, anyway, there is no more existence of Master Delen in this world! Hahahaha! ”
Jack did as he wished, his back in his seat, blood oozing from the corners of his mouth, but a smile on his face, looking very proud.
"You mean, he's lying?" Jack seemed to be questioning, and he was muttering to himself.
Lian Yue looked at Marlowe, then at him, not knowing what to say.
"I... He's really a person from the third cousin, after you had an accident, I once stood on the roof of the building and was distracted, they didn't see me, I heard..."
"If I hadn't been thinking about you all the time, and I heard their plans, maybe I would have died a long time ago." Marlowe was a little emotional, for fear that Jack would not believe him.
"That's right! I remember hearing from my father that Marlowe had a falling out with his third uncle at that time, and I never saw that Pyrrhus around him again, and I didn't know why at that time, but it turned out to be the case! Ashley, whose memory was fully restored, also remembered at this time, and hurriedly helped Marlowe explain.
"I see, I'll look into it myself." Jack had heard so much, but he was actually as smart as he was, and he had already known that something was wrong, and at this time he had made a slight concession in his words.
For a while, Marlowe was also excited, but he didn't dare to speak anymore and looked at him nervously.
It's not at all the arrogant and invincible look of the "Mr. Back of the Head", and it looks pitiful and cute.
Lian Yue understood that as long as the misunderstanding between the two brothers was resolved, it would be a quick thing to be relieved, so he was not ready to continue to interject.
"Okay, when this is over, you can go back and check it out! We'll have to hurry back, or Mr. Hubble and King Meow will be worried. ”
Jack nodded yes, and for a moment, there was a strange silence in the cockpit, and no one spoke again.
The shuttle is about to leave the range of the 5-star city and fly towards the 11-star city.
On the other hand, Yaris is not in a good situation.
Having missed the opportunity to take control of the central control room, they became very passive.
After finally capturing a member of the Stoke Star Bandits, they listened to the other party's channel and found that there was no trace of Ashley and the others, and there was a high probability that they had escaped.
And now, they are weak and have become the target of the siege of the base mountain.
Rumble!
Another burst of shelling exploded in their hiding place, and they had no way to retreat.
Without a guide who knew the terrain, they would be as dizzy as flies with their heads covered, and he knew that the more they delayed, the more problems they would have.
"Damn! Fall back! In desperation, he had no choice but to give this order.
And the subordinates who had been waiting for his retreat order for a long time had already piloted the shuttle and came to answer.
The defenses behind them, as if they had expected such a rout, silently put away their weapons and let them go, as if to mock their stupidity of stealing chickens and rice.
Back in 9 Star City, he went straight to the meeting room of the boss Bejunsai.
"Boss! I have failed you! As soon as he walked in with his subordinates, he consciously knelt on the ground and pleaded guilty to the boss.
In fact, as early as on the way back, he reported the situation here, and the old nature had already known all this.
On the main seat, a red-haired man rubbed his chin, but he didn't care very much: "If you don't catch anyone, it's not a loss, spread Cecil's death!" ”
"I'd like to see if this piece of fat is gnawed or not..."Don't say that the boss showed an unfathomable smile.
This 5-star city is without the shackles of Cecil, such a big piece of fat, he has long known that he can't finish fighting himself. No, I send you a good news, everyone is fighting for me, and he can rush behind, don't you pull two more strokes?
Everyone has his own calculations, and today he calculates the other, and who knows that no one is calculating him?
Anyway, let's beat down the old rival Cecil first, and the rest of the people will walk and take a look!
"Let's go down!" He didn't pay any attention to Yaris, who was on his knees, and raised his hand to let him out.
"Hey, wait," he stopped at a sudden thought of something interesting, "and, I heard that the hairy girl behind Jack is quite close to our young master Meg..."
His words were unspeakable, but they were meaningful.
Yaris half hesitated, half raised his feet and walked out of the conference room, pondering what the boss meant by his last words.
Is it to take Meg's boy? That's not right! That kid is a fool, the family hasn't managed to take him over for so many years, wouldn't it be better to leave him in Star City to add some input?
So, what does that mean?
7 Star City, Starry Street.
Meg lives here this week, and his bedroom is simple, with only a starnet hibernation pod, where he lies down and sleeps at night.
Simple can't be simple nights, but it's rare not to be peaceful.
Generally speaking, his devices are not connected to the Internet.
But obviously, the "Star Net" where Meg is lying here is not just the simple Silver Star City.
At this time, his brainwave detection data is very active, far beyond ordinary people.
And the interstellar finals of the Star Net Championship are going on intensely.
Tonight's match is Antigonus II, the Star of the East, against the White Kira.
In the virtual stadium that can accommodate millions of people, everyone is cheering for their local players.
"Kira! Win! ”
"Antigonus! Win! ”
