Section 227 Truth or Dare (6)
Rand turned his head and spoke to a man who looked like a middle-aged gentleman.
He was well-educated in his outfit and could be outfitted, and Rand could sense subtle fluctuations in his magic, suggesting that the other party was most likely a magician with spell-casting abilities.
Now that he's on a ship, he doesn't have access to the Arcane Skynet, in other words, he's a real magician.
Almost as soon as the man let out a hostile cry, the female bodyguard, who looked like a girl, had already jumped up from her seat and stood in front of Lizi.
"Sir, please calm down. Rand had to stand between Cindy and the angry man, he didn't want the two sides to clash in front of him, after all, Lizzie had come at his invitation, and it would be too much to worry about any damage caused by the conflict.
"Don't stop me, I can knock this idiot down with one punch. Cindy sneered, her hands poking out of the sleeves of her tuxedo, and at some point, her hands were dressed in a pair of black leather gloves, giving Huo Qiu a surprised look.
Because of the obvious power fluctuations on the black leather fist gloves, after Huo Qiu was disqualified from Skynet, in order to gain strength, he used the construct, and after finding that it worked, he was very fascinated for a while, not only did he continue to buy several constructs later, but also planned to become a constructor, for which he also spent a lot of money to hire a constructor to teach himself. Although he hadn't reached the point of being a real constructor, Huo Qiu had also gained a lot of knowledge about things like constructing and alchemy items, and the pair of fists in the hand of the guard, Lizibao, was obviously not an ordinary item.
"Your fists can bring me down, but they can't bring down everyone who knows the truth; But it can't be hidden forever. The Fury Party's accusations against this vicious woman are just the tip of the real history. Even if you can dodge it this time. But one day your name will be scorned!" the strange man continued his accusation even after Cindy's threats and Rand's dissuasion.
"Don't stop him, Cyndy. As long as he doesn't want to hurt me, and you let him continue, I'd love to hear it. Lizi's loose sword muscles moved, and she said slowly.
"But .......," Cindy hesitated.
"He just put Tori and you in charge of my health and safety, and a few words from this person can't hurt me. ”
Cindy looked at Tori, and Lizzie's personal doctor hesitated and said, "Ma'am." Personally, I don't think you need to listen to this person's nonsense, but you must be mentally prepared for this trip, and the people who entrust us really only need us to ensure your health and safety. Since you insist on listening to him, okay. ”
"Thank you. Lizzie smiled, and then said to the man who cursed her, "If you have anything to say, please say it, but if it's just scolding, I don't think I'm interested in listening to it." Or even if you want to scold me, you should have enough reasons. Are you a Fury?"
The man listened to Lizi's words, took a deep breath, and stood up straight. It was as if he was facing an extremely important battle of his life, and he would not back down.
"I'm not a Fury, but I donated a large sum of money to the Furyers after they exposed and vowed to hold you accountable. The man finally stopped the invective, but his tone was still full of passion, and he pointed his finger at Lizzie and said, "Please remember my name, Jackson Reginal." ”
Rand was stunned for a moment, he vaguely remembered where he had heard the name.
"Sir, your name is really Jackson, so do you deny my grandfather Jimenez?"
"Of course I do. Jackson said coldly, "Your grandfather Jimenez, and this fat man's grandfather Bernadotte, were both friends of mine back then, and we traded ambergris cream together on the Emerald Continent. And your grandfather led the way for the Sea Clan's attack on Fiji City, and it was on that occasion that I was forcibly taken back to Asturias by the secret guards, and I have been separated from my loved ones ever since. ”
"Is he really our grandfather's friend?" the fat man Huo Qiu also came over and asked in a low voice.
"I think it's the guy who both of our families have left shares for him. Rand sighed.
The Bernadottes and Jimenez families had a deep relationship, and they basically went together in investment and political speculation, and although they also had separate businesses in other directions, the original company remained.
The company was founded by two families when it was first established, but the most strange thing is that there was always a shareholder in that company, who initially owned up to 20 percent of the shares, and even if the company was later listed and that shareholder's shares were severely diluted, it was still enough for him to attend the shareholders' meeting and serve as a director.
However, this shareholder has never appeared, and most people will not pay attention to this shareholder who does not play a role and never appears, but Huo Qiu and Rand know a little bit of the origin, it is the name that Jackson just mentioned.
As far as they knew, this shareholder, who had never fulfilled his rights and obligations, and did not even want annual dividends, was not low, and was the nephew of Sir Reginal, the former Chancellor of the Exchequer, who had ventured in the Emerald Continent with their grandfathers, who had diluted his shares, but not completely swallowed his shares.
"We've heard your name, Mr. Jackson, and we still have some shares in a company that we both share, so why don't you show up?"
"I won't ask for that money because it's dirty. Young man, it is true that my grandfather and I were good friends, but I still have to say that what they did, they themselves understood, was sin. My Melinda was destroyed in the rebellion against this evil, and I have been looking for a place to bury her, and this time I heard that there was a clue to come out again. Jackson said.
Under Jackson's narration, Rand roughly understood some of what happened to the old man in front of him, who was brought back to Asturias by the secret guards, even if he was Reginal's nephew, was placed under residential surveillance.
But in the end, the royal family and the cabinet were in the face of his uncle. No overly embarrassing. Only asked the Reginer family to put him under house arrest. He was declared ill, but in fact he was bound by a forbidden ring and was monitored by two secret guards.
This life was not relaxed until after the first ambergris war, but it was still forbidden to go out. It was five years later, when Sir Regina became seriously ill, that he was granted fundamental freedoms and was allowed to operate in the country, but not to leave his homeland.
Sir Sr. later died. unexpectedly gave him the title to inherit, so that Jackson completely got rid of the treatment of being accompanied by the secret guard.
In the years that followed, Jackson was tentatively looking for his lover Melinda.
However, it was later learned that Melinda had died, at the end of the First Ambergris War.
While the High Elves put up their last stand in the River of Awakening, skirmishes continued elsewhere on the Emerald Continent, with the High Elves desperately trying to return to their aid or simply attacking the invaders in an attempt to share the pressure on the land of Shangri-La.
Melinda and her brother were among the famous commanders of the guerrillas at the time, and the news of her death was confirmed from Lombana, but after the war there were fears that the graves of these famous resisters would be destroyed by the enemy. So no one knows exactly where they are buried.
Jackson had personally visited the Emerald Continent to look for it before, but was disappointed every time.
This time it was he who decided to go after getting the news about Lombana's whereabouts. Because perhaps the most likely person to find Melinda's grave is her half-brother.
"As for this woman. Jackson said, "The Furyers have confirmed that it was she who introduced the ambergris cream, a drug that poisoned the entire Emerald Continent, in the first place. If it weren't for her and the people behind her, the war wouldn't have broken out, and Melinda wouldn't have died. ”
"Mr. Jackson, we may not know as much about that history as you do, but the history textbooks we have studied say that the Ambergris War was a just war in which the High Elves hindered free trade, expelled and killed merchants from all over the world, and finally provoked the anger of the nations to defend their rights and interests by force. Although I had recently experienced first-hand the accusations raised by the Fury's peripheral organizations, they even tried to get the attention of the people by occupying the Grand Theater of the Times. But is it really that serious?"
"Young man, the dangers of ambergris have been proven since the Second War of Ambergris, not indirectly through years of tracking cases like the High Elves, but by alchemists who have directly proven the harmfulness of it. If you don't believe it, after you arrive in the Emerald Continent this time, you will believe it when you see with your own eyes the harm caused by ambergris cream. Jackson said excitedly.
And she, and those behind her, will be nailed to the pillar of shame in history for the rest of their lives, because they are criminals, murderers, murderers. Jackson shouted.
Everyone was stunned, and the little girl Belisan hugged her mother tightly with a little fear.
"Mrs. Lizi, I'm really sorry. Rand found herself in a very awkward situation, and Lizzie was invited by him to come over, and the person who criticized her had something to do with his own family.
However, it is said that this lady is not simple, and she is vaguely also serving the big man who is feared and relied on by her grandfather, and I am afraid that this situation in front of me is that my grandfather will have a short time to feel embarrassed.
"Mr. Jackson, I think what you are saying is an exaggeration, and you should not do this to a woman older than you. "But Huo Qiu stood up smartly.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Rand also said to Lizi: "Madam, I think it was a misunderstanding, you don't have to care, it's not early today, it's better to go back and rest early." ”
Lizi Bao glanced at Jackson deeply, and the other party's face was still angry, and he looked like he wanted to pounce.
"Okay, thank you, kid. And this Mr. Jackson, whether what you say is true or not, you will count the anger and hatred on my head, and this matter has nothing to do with anyone else. After saying that, Lizzy turned to leave, and Tori and Cindy gave Jackson a cold look and followed.
"You still don't believe it, do you?" Jackson walked up to the two of them, "but it doesn't matter, this ship is heading for the Emerald Continent, and it won't be long before you see the truth and the consequences they have brought to that beautiful land." ”
He stepped backwards, "This woman is a criminal, she is dripping with blood and filth from head to toe, and her glory and wealth are soaked with the soul and blood of the High Elves. ”
His voice was like a curse, and the little girl's mother couldn't help but cover the little girl's ears, and Hola Deguna couldn't help but shudder.
Huo Qiu's face was also quite ugly, and he said in a low voice, "Who do you believe?"
Rand didn't answer, just frowned. (To be continued.) )
