Chapter 66: The Choice
Chapter 66
The next day, the two returned to Portland. Su Yuan seems to have returned to the indifferent, rational, and all the wisdom beads in his hands. It's just that Teresa knows that this strange wizard seems to have some stories hidden in her heart.
The purpose of this trip has actually been achieved, but the loss of two potential allies has made the trip incomplete. After killing the Tooth Monster, Su Yuan gained twenty Source Power Points. The reserve of source power points has accumulated to thirty-four points. The value of the Evil Tooth is not small, which shows that the combat power of this thing is not as good as it seems. It's a pity that I ran into the protagonist of the hanging.
Nick saw the second key and felt a whole wave of confusion. Before she died, Aunt Mary told him that the stakes were high, even one of the most important secrets of the Grimm world. But Su Yuan went out and got a handful back. It's as if it's sold at a grocery store.
"Well, can you tell me. Exactly how much you have yet to tell me. I feel like you're in control of everything. ”
"You're wrong, I'm not in control of everything. In fact, this time it was not very smooth. In order to get this thing, one of the elder Greens, who was the same age as your Aunt Mary, died. This key has his blood on it, Nick. ”
"......Okay, can you tell me, then. Why are my keys in your hands too? ”
"Uh...... I picked up the ...... on the floor."
"Is that I accidentally misplaced?"
"Of course, but it's a pity. Two keys still can't find the answer I want. It looks like we'll have to sell it for a while. ”
"Wait, you say it again. What do you want my keys for? Nick, who was about to turn away, turned back sharply when he heard this.
"Sold it, of course. Do you know how much this thing is worth on the royal side? They could come up with tens of millions of dollars. ”
"It's impossible, it's something from my family's heritage. I'm not going to let you sell it. Don't even think about it. ”
"No, your family's inheritance is not the key, but the secret behind it. Nick, as long as we figure out the secret of the key, the key itself doesn't really have much value. ”
"Do you know the secret behind the key?" Nick gets to the point. But Su Yuan had no intention of saying it again.
"I know, but the keys aren't enough. I'll tell you everything when I get the other two keys. "By the way, how are you doing with Juliet? I think the atmosphere between you is weird? ”
"It's a little, and it's about you." Nick said that he no longer planned to leave, but sat directly on the sofa.
"She told me two days ago that she had thought about it and wanted to find her true self. I remember you told her this, right? ”
"It was indeed me, and she was lost in all that was happening in her life. I told her that there was some special kind of Wessen blood hidden in her body. However, she did not make a choice at the time, but said that she would have to think about some time. ”
"Yes, she thought about it. She decided she was going to accept that situation. ”
"Don't you sound willing?"
"Of course I ......" Nick wanted to refute as a matter of course, but Su Yuan interrupted him directly.
"What does this have to do with you? This is Juliet's own life. ”
"But I don't want her to be involved in this. This world doesn't even allow me to protect myself. Can't you see? Those dangerous Visens are watching me all the time. And the royal family, the rebels. These things aren't what Juliet should be facing? ”
"Really? So what do you think Juliet should do? Be an ordinary veterinarian and hide behind you forever? Do you think she'll be safe that way? Nick, it's just a macho trick. You and I both know that the best way to keep Juliet safe is for her to protect herself.
Know that no matter how you protect her. She's already involved in it all. She couldn't hide from it, so he decided to accept his fate. It's not just for herself, it's for you. Because only then will she be able to stand side by side with you, not behind you. Didn't you find out? Juliet is a powerful woman at heart, and she won't be content to stand behind you. ”
Su Yuan's words silenced Nick. From his point of view, of course, he didn't want Juliet to be a Visen. But now that I think about it, if I put myself in Juliet's shoes, maybe I was wrong.
"I see what you mean. I'll talk to her. ”
"Well, I know someone who can help her with this. It will take some time to reach her, though. Wait for my message. ”
Su Yuan turned around and went back to rest. And then Nick suddenly said something behind his back.
"Sue, what are you afraid of?"
Su Yuan's footsteps stopped suddenly. This sentence is very abrupt. All the while, he appeared by Nick's side as a kind of guide. But the sensitive Nick realized he was making some preparations.
"Some forces that we can't deal with at the moment. Maybe you don't see it now, but they're already here. It's all around us. ”
At Portland International Airport, a luxurious private jet landed. A handsome young man stepped out of the plane. He was followed by several bodyguards dressed in black. It was Kenneth, who succeeded Victor on the Portland mission.
The man always has a hint of a smile on the corner of his mouth, which is the kind of woman whose eyes light up when she sees it. But the male saw it and would want to punch him in the face with a mean smile.
As soon as I got off the plane, a phone call came. On the other side of the phone, a hesitant voice told him.
"We found the carcass of the Toothless Beast, only a part. In the eastern suburbs of Pennsylvania. He was torn to pieces and thrown into the woods. We only found a part. No keys were found at the scene. ”
'Smack', the smile on Kenneth's face was gone. Instead, he revealed a hint of tyrannical eyes.
"Wake up all the dark lines in Portland, and I need to know my dear brother, that Green, and all the people involved."
