Chapter 271: Sinners
"How do you know?" said Golden, who was amazed, "about the gifted artifact...... How did you find out?"
"How do you know?--as long as it's a family or force with some strength...... You should know everything, right?" said Nereus with a somewhat speechless laugh, "What...... Don't you know the whole thing?"
"This ...... What the hell is going on?--I hope you can explain it to me in detail!"" said Gold Cole, somewhat anxiously, "please!--because it's her business...... So I want to know!"
"I know that—for all the important members of the great powers...... None of this is a secret!" Nerus chuckled a little knowingly, "Back then—that was when you and Dongfang Lingyun reappeared in the human world...... Didn't she leave behind an artifact and then quietly leave? The thing she left for you is the 'will of God'!"
"What?—is that the will?—just that?" asked Golden Cole, in disbelief, "I've never heard of it!"
"That artifact—maybe it's the life-saving thing that Dongfang Lingyun left to you!" said Nereus, with some emotion, "after all...... You are different from Dongfang Lingyun - those people dare to sacrifice any interests in order to deal with her......! She deserves to be treated like this! The benefits that can be obtained from her are far greater than those people have to pay, so even if they sacrifice everything, they will spare no effort to do it! But you are different, a brave man of the level of a 'giant' -- in the eyes of those people, what can be obtained from you...... Far less than what they have to pay, so ...... They would put your 'execution' on hold - of course, it seems to me that the treasure she left you was one of the reasons why they made such an important decision......! It will make them feel very worthless!"
"So...... It's not that they're not going to deal with my Cole family—but they don't think it's worth it?" said Goldman Cole with a wry smile, then asked tentatively, "then...... In recent years - their hostility to our Cole family...... What's going on? According to you...... Shouldn't they ignore us?"
"This ...... I don't know!" Grumbled Nereus, rather distressed, "though I am the first in line to the Atlantean family, but...... It's just the heir, for the real core thing...... I'm not qualified to 'get involved', so, more information...... I don't know......! One thing is certain......! As far as you Cole are concerned, they are indeed brewing something that must not be wrong!"
"Is that so?" lamented Goldman Cole, "the time to come...... Will it finally come?"
"You know something, don't you? In that case...... If it's convenient for you—can you tell me about it?" Nerus inquired inquiringly. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
"I don't know...... It may only be good for you!" said Goldman Cole, shaking his head not to say more, then looked at Nereus with an inquiring gaze, "but...... The treasure she gave me - is it really the will of God......? Could it be that I am mistaken?"
"How is that possible!" Nereus shook his head affirmatively, "it's because of that treasure's deterrence that those guys will be bogged off, otherwise...... Do you think those people would be willing to let a family like you, which has a monopoly on nearly a third of the gold coin market, exist to this day? Think about it...... It's impossible, isn't it?"
"Could it be...... The treasure she gave me—is it really the so-called will of God, as you speak?" said Gold Cole, who was not at all happy or excited about having such a precious treasure, wept a little sadly, "what if...... If she hadn't kept this treasure in my possession—wouldn't she...... Are those people going to be jealous of her? Will it be ...... Will her fate change from here?"
"You're thinking too much!" Nerus rolled his eyes and said a little speechlessly, "those people have long had the idea that they must be eliminated - it's not a crisis that can be avoided with that item! I'm sure you should know something about her strength, right? Do you think that for her, there is one more treasure or one less treasure - there really is such a huge difference? Don't be stupid! Those people are eager to use the power of the whole family and the whole sect to kill her? It's not like she's going to be able to make a difference with a few more treasures!"
"But...... If the will of God is really what you say it is - with so much 'energy' contained in it...... If she had it...... Maybe I can escape the fate of being killed!" said Golden, a sad face, looking very dejected, "if it weren't for the fact that she left this thing to me—I think...... She said...... Maybe...... Maybe you can ...... Woowoowoo......"
In the end, Kim Cole was already crying, choking up as if he could no longer continue!
"You're not right," said Nereus, shaking his head, reassuringly, "she left that Noble Phantasm to you, of course, for her own reasons—as I said earlier, for her, one or two Noble Phantasms were for her...... It would not have affected her in the slightest! Those who had already had the intention of killing her and acted accordingly - would not have left her the slightest room to escape......! What's the point of carrying such a treasure with her? I think it's because she thinks of this that she will keep it for you, right......? Why should you care?"
"I know that—but...... This bend in my own heart...... I just can't turn around!" Kim Cole wept and looked very "concerned" about this, and couldn't help but "repeat" it again, "The feeling in my heart is like ...... It's like ...... It seems that it was because I 'took' her treasure...... It's the culprit that made her end up like that......! When I think about it, I can't help but feel that I h......ate myself! The sinner who killed 'her'!"
