Chapter 496: Awakening

readx;

Sophia sat on the edge of the bed, looking at Dio lying on the bed worriedly, although Gulagas repeatedly assured that Dio's life would not be in danger, Sophia was still a little relieved, the wound on Dio's back had been carefully treated by her, fortunately, it was only a flesh wound, and it did not hurt the internal organs, and it could recover after a period of recuperation.

Gordon and Raymond and others did not all crowd in the room, but waited for news outside the room, so many people went in, it was inevitable that there would be a noise, they were worried that they would disturb Dio, but Laura was obviously an exception, she wouldn't care so much, this girl's stubborn temper came up, no one persuaded it, everyone had to let her go, so there were only Sophia and Laura in the room with Dio, and the well-behaved cat cub lying on the side.

I don't know how long it took, Dio's eyelids moved first, and then slowly opened his eyes, the first thing that caught Dio's eyes was Sophia's face full of worry, Sophia's eyes never left Dio, the first time she found the change in Dio, and was suddenly surprised, grabbed Dio's hand in disbelief, and said in a trembling voice: "Dio, you...... Are you awake?"

Dio sat up, looked at Sophia and smiled, "What? Think you're hallucinating?"

At this time, Laura, who had been cowering in the corner, obviously noticed the movement here, and immediately jumped up with a smile on her face and pounced on Dio in the air.

Dio's face changed suddenly, the wound on his back was still in pain, if Laura really pounced, it was hard to say whether the wound would tear, Dio wanted to hide, but his hand was still firmly grasped by Sophia, he was worried that it would hurt Sophia, so he could only watch Laura smash himself.

Fortunately, Laura didn't really rush up, but fell to the other side of the bed, opened her arms and hugged Dio tightly, this action made the pain in Dio's back more intense, but it was still within Dio's tolerance, at least the wound was not in danger of bursting.

Gordon, Raymond and others, who heard the voice, also rushed into the room, and were relieved to see Dio sitting on the bed in a good manner.

"Dio, you're freaking us out, what's going on?" Raymond asked.

"Actually, I don't know very well......" Dio glanced at the expressions of several people, and quickly added: "It's true, it's just that a few people want to kill me for no reason, but fortunately, Gulagas arrived in time." ā€

"Forget it, since you don't want to say it, then we won't ask. Raymond sighed: "But can you be more careful in the future? This time someone will save you, what about next time? Even if you don't think about us, you always have to think about Sophia, right? Do you know how sad Sophia is when something like this happens?"

Dio glanced at Sophia apologetically, and held Sophia's hand tightly: "I promise, there will be no such situation in the future." ā€

Dio's words are sincere, this time the matter is indeed his carelessness, but this can't be completely blamed on Dio, there is not even a servant in Morin's small building, obviously to ensure secrecy, in this case, the person who can appear in the small building must be Morin's henchman, where would Dio think that the middle-aged man would betray Morin. Didn't the middle-aged man know that no matter whether things were successful or not, he would definitely become a victim?

In fact, Randall knew better than anyone the consequences of his betrayal of Maureen, and he certainly had a reason to do so, a very old-fashioned, but unyielding reason, his wife and daughter were in the hands of Isaac.

In a hidden courtyard, Randall looked at the warrior in front of him with a dead face: "I have already done what you asked me to do, what did you promise me?

The warrior gave Randall a sneering look, "You don't think you're still alive, do you?"

Randall laughed miserably: "Before I did this, I knew that I was dead, and I just hope that you can still have a little surname and be able to spare my wife and children." ā€

"Of course. The warrior smiled: "Everyone is our own people, we will not be so excessive, you can rest assured, after you die, your wife and daughter will live well." ā€

"I hope you will keep your promises. Randall let out a long sigh and turned to walk out of the courtyard, hoping that he could only pin his hopes on the other party's vague promise.

"Wait!" the samurai frowned, "What are you going to do?"

Randall stopped, turned his back to the warrior, and said lightly: "Elder Morin was kind to me, but I betrayed him instead, and only by dying in front of his old man can I alleviate the guilt in my heart a little." ā€

The warrior looked at Randall amusedly, "Don't be stupid, do you think it's possible?"

"What do you mean by that?" Randall turned his head back, his eyebrows wrinkled together.

"I mean...... We're not going to let you go back to see Maureen again. The warrior walked towards Randall: "Since you will die sooner or later, I think it would be better for you to die sooner, so that it will be good for everyone, isn't it?"

Randall took a deep breath, as Mo Lin's henchman, his strength was naturally not too low, how could he have been so humiliated. Sadly, however, he did not dare to pour out his anger because he could not afford to do so.

"What's the matter?" The warrior looked at Randall and laughed, "It is said that Randall, who is under Elder Morin, was also a warrior in the past, and looking at your current appearance, it really doesn't live up to your name." ā€

"What the hell do you want from me?" Randall's eyes were filled with hatred.

"It's simple, end your life right here. The samurai had a sinister smile on his face, "If you still want your wife and daughter to continue to live, this is the only option." ā€

Looking at the hideous face of the warrior in front of him, Randall suddenly felt that he had been wrong from the beginning, if he had asked Lord Morin for help at the first time, things might not have turned around, but now it was too late to say anything, one wrong step, one wrong step, and he had no chance to turn back.

Randall was silent for a long time, and slowly raised his hand, and a blazing flame danced in his palm.

A hint of indifference flashed in the samurai's eyes, such people, he has seen too many people, they will always do something against their will for one reason or another, they will always give themselves a reason, I have to do it, otherwise it will be what it will be, but after all, it cannot change the fact that they are weak.

And so, Randall disappeared like this, and disappeared so completely that it was as if he had never been in this world.

Two days later, Morin and Jarvis visited Dio directly, of course, as a butler. Hoffman the Lionheart believes that whether or not to believe it is another question, at least in terms of his apparent identity, Morin's actions cannot be faulted.

After some detailed discussions, the news obtained from Dio's mouth made Morin shocked and angry, and the assassination of Dio by those people could be regarded as an accident, because even Morin did not expect that the methods of those people would be so decisive, and before Lambos could officially announce Dio's identity at the senate, he launched an offensive first, and Randall's betrayal was obviously Morin's dereliction of duty.

Fortunately, Dio is fine, otherwise Morin would simply be dead.

Dio smiled and comforted Morin, who was full of self-blame: "Actually, my vigilance is too low, speaking of which, these people are indeed much more comfortable, and their timing is good, but this is also a good thing, where is the reason for preventing thieves, they took the initiative to jump out and make things easier." ā€

Merlin nodded: "I have already informed Lord Rambosburn of this matter, don't worry, Lord Rambossburn will just let those crazy guys go." ā€

Dio glanced at Jarvis and the others who were sitting quietly on the side: "These are ......"

"These are the people I told you last time to help you advance, but you have injuries now, so you can only postpone them for a few more days. After introducing Jarvis and the others to Dio, Morin continued: "I want to keep them here to protect you, do you think it's appropriate?"

Dio was stunned for a moment, although Merlin did not explain the strength of Jarvis and the others, but looking at the temperament of these people, it is not as simple as an ordinary powerhouse, even if it is not a saint-level powerhouse, I am afraid that it also has the strength of a top-level martial artist, and it is too extravagant to use such power to protect himself, right?

"This ...... I'm afraid this isn't right?" Dio said with a wry smile: "Actually, as long as I stay here with Raymond, I believe that no one will dare to break in and make trouble, I don't think there is so much trouble." ā€

Morin said with a worried face: "I also know that there is something wrong with this, but I am really worried that those people will jump off the wall in a hurry, since they have already torn their faces, anything can happen." ā€

Dio smiled: "With this incident, I believe that the defense strength here will also increase, not to mention that I will not give them another chance, one lesson is enough." ā€

Merlin thought for a moment and said, "Okay then, but when you leave here and go out, I will arrange for someone to protect you." ā€

Dio nodded, accepting Morin's suggestion.

During the time when Merlin and Dio were talking, Jarvis and the others were also silently observing Dio, and before coming here, they were all speculating about how the immortal inheritance that was highly respected by Lord Rambossburn would be a young man who would excel.

Dio's current strength as an eighth-order extreme warrior, of course, will not be taken into account by Jarvis and others, although with Dio's age, such an achievement can definitely be regarded as a genius, but what they value more is Dio's calmness in front of Merin, this kind of calmness that is obviously inconsistent with Dio's age is the real reason why they look the other way.
