Volume 1: The Awakening of the Lion Cub Chapter 16: The Past

"It's okay, is it really okay?" I look at your face, it seems that something is not quite right......" Will saw that Cui Ming was still hesitating, so he sighed and said, "Say it, I always feel that you are hiding something from me......"

"Huh...... You still cared about me just now......" Cui Ming rolled his eyes, but when he saw Will's serious appearance, he also sighed, hesitated for a moment, and then said in a hesitant voice: "That...... Lore ...... He's dead. ”

"Dead ...... Will's pupils narrowed, even though he had seen creatures lose their lives a long time ago, and even though he had followed his father the other day and witnessed how Kyle Kerland harvested souls on the battlefield, he still ...... Unacceptable!

I can't accept a man I know, a familiar clansman, a samurai servant who is often arrogant and bullying, but who has also shown his willingness to follow Richard's career...... He's dead......

He ...... How did he die. Suppressing his beating heart, Will took a deep breath, trying to calm his slightly disordered breathing, his cold eyes stared directly at Cui Ming, he knew that Luoer's death must have a lot to do with Cui Ming.

"This ...... Hmmm...... "Cui Ming also saw Will look at himself like this for the first time, he panicked, panicked for the first time, because Will was his first and only friend......

But he did not regret mentioning Lore's death to Will, because it was impossible to hide it...... Will hates the man who deceived him the most.

Besides, cheating on friends is not Cui Ming's code of conduct.

"I thought you meant to let me beat him to death...... That's it. Because Katosh is really annoying, and Lore is his dog's leg, he ...... "Cui was about to say something, he felt that at this point, Will should have understood very well.

Cui Ming didn't dare to look at Will's eyes, because at this moment, Will's eyes were filled with that dark golden light that made him fearful. Cui Ming knew that Will was using his bloodline talent again.

After a long time, Cui Ming suddenly heard two relieved chuckles, which were from Will. Only then did he dare to raise his head and look at Will.

At this moment, the unhappiness on Will's face had vanished, and in its place was a slightly relieved warmth.

"Huh...... Very good, at least, you didn't deceive me, Cui Ming. Will nodded and said with a smile.

"You, don't you blame me?"

“...... It's impossible to say that I don't blame you...... After coming to the new homeland, the life of each member of the clan is precious...... I hope you understand that, Choi. ”

"Hmmm......"

“...... Here, unlike the slums you used to live in, I assure you that every word my father said is true. In the new homeland, every Holy Family is equal, including you and me, and here we can call each other brothers in front of the public, which is unthinkable in the homeland......"

"I know...... In that place where the Council of Elders controls everything, commoners are commoners, samurai are samurai, generals are generals, and elders are elders......"

"Yes, that's why my father brought his people here. Here, we may have different positions and responsibilities, but our identity and status are the same, and we are all saints...... Moreover, even if you were a bastard from the slums and burdened with the so-called family shame, you can become a general in your new homeland......"

"This, I know, thank you Will, if it weren't for you and your father, I'm afraid, I wouldn't have been able to sneak out of my home under the watchful eye of the Council of Elders. ”

Cui Ming said very seriously, he is indeed grateful to Richard and Will, the father and son, he and Will met on a narrow street in their home, at that time, he tried to steal Will's money bag, but the latter's natural ability saw through the trace, and led the guards to find his "home".

He would never forget the look of disdain in which the guard had looked at him, and the guard had not forgotten to make a few sarcastic remarks about his life as he flattered Will and his father Richard, who had come with him.

He also couldn't forget the surprise on Richard's face after he asked him for his last name as "Cui", and the scene where he reprimanded the guard harshly.

At that time, Richard was still just an inconspicuous role in the Holy Family, of course, he was in the samurai class, and he did enjoy certain privileges, but a small role is a small role. He could not afford to bear the cost of offending the Council of Elders, and as such, Richard was powerless in the face of his life reduced to a beggar, or a thief beggar.

But the bag of gold coins that Richard gave Cui Ming, and the promise of the future, as well as acquiescing to his child Will being his friend, allowing him to go to the territory of the Li clan to find refuge and learn martial arts from the martial artists who "occasionally" came out to "relax...... Cui Ming kept these things in mind......

Cui Ming never forgot the kindness of the father and son, and before Richard took the Holy Clan willing to follow him to his new homeland, he specially invited several notorious but skilled thieves to escape with several "shadow attendants" sent by him from the Council of Elders to spy on him......

"You don't need to remember this, Cui Ming, in the samurai class, the Li family and the Cui family have all fought for their clansmen. At this, Will shook his head, his eyes were clear, and his face was a little smiling, he knew his brother's temperament, but ...... Will hesitated for a moment and said, "However, I hope that you must tell me what you decide next time, okay?"

"Hmm...... I know. ”

After all, Lore also had the intention of following his father's will...... And we can keep the status quo, although it is inevitable to turn against the Council of Seniors, but that is for the future......"

"I know, Lord Richard, his ambition is far beyond those moths in the Council of Elders!"

“...... All in all, Cui Ming, don't act recklessly...... But you didn't do anything bad this time...... According to Lore's previous crimes against other people...... Although he did it under Katosh's direction, that doesn't mean his crimes are forgivable...... His death should bring Katosh to his senses, and in addition, it can also deter other ill-intentioned clansmen......"

"Hmmm......"

Cui Ming looked at Will, who was constantly thinking about the Fa to excuse himself and kept looking for reasons, and smiled.

Will is still the same as before, not good at hiding his emotions...... This is far from his father......
