Chapter 494 You are free
"Can you tell me why?" Flora asked.
"He doesn't want you to grow up with inferiority complex. He thinks that since he can't give you the best environment to grow up in, at least he can't let you feel that your birth is shameful. That's why he asked me to tell you this." Louisa said sobbing.
Flora understood, and she seemed to understand her father's good intentions.
Yes, how could a woman living in poverty in Iceland have the ability to save a rich and powerful nobleman? In fact, if you think about it carefully, you can find the flaws in the stories told by the mother.
Mom saved her cowardly father in Iceland, fell in love with him and became pregnant, and finally came to the Osborne family and lived as a caged bird for twenty years. This kind of story often appears in dramatic novels, but it is extremely difficult to happen in the real world. She should have thought of this long ago.
The reason why I couldn’t think of it was probably because I subconsciously wanted to affirm my birth.
If she had known the truth from the beginning, and knew that the roles of those who happened in the past were completely opposite, and that the one who was saved was not a cowardly nobleman, but a tragic woman without talent and violently oppressed by evil forces, what would her personality be like now?
If she knew that everything she had was thanks to the Osborn family, and that her mother was just a burden hanging on her father, without doing anything to help her father or providing any valuable help, how would she and Milo view ?
Flora had had this thought more than once: her incompetent father was saved by her mother, and her mother was her father's savior. Even if the Osborn family had a little conscience, they should not treat them like this. Her father should also stand up and fight against the family for this brave woman who saved him and loved him wholeheartedly, instead of cowardly compromising.
Because of the stories told by Louisa, Flora has always stood on her mother's side since she was a child. She regards the huge Osborne family as an imaginary enemy in her mind, and her father Frith as an incompetent man with a broken heart. In her eyes, the nobles are nothing great. Even among the poor there are strong and brave people like her mother, and among the nobles there are cowardly and useless people like her father.
She has always thought so...so even though she was constrained by her family in reality, she never felt inferior in her heart. Instead, it was the arrogance and narrow-mindedness of the Osborn family that made her anger grow more and more intense.
Louisa looked at Flora with tears on her face, and reached out to touch her daughter's face: "Laura, your father is not a coward. You didn't see how he saved me in Iceland. He is a hero... If he hadn't brought me into the Osborn family when I was pregnant with you, he could have been a hero forever... For you, he compromised a lot."
Flora grabbed her mother's hand, pressed her forehead against hers, and remained silent.
She understood everything, and it all made sense.
She even began to understand the thoughts of other family members. Her mother was indeed a huge burden to the Osborn family. It was not an exaggeration to say that she was a scandal.
A woman of unknown origin, no special talents, and who has been abused for many years has to become a member of the Osborn family. This kind of pressure is self-evident for a large aristocratic family. The aristocrats are an arrogant group who forcibly draw a line between themselves and other ordinary people. This behavior is completely contrary to their way of dealing with the world.
But even now, Flora still couldn't forgive those people for what they did to Milo, but she decided to give up, at least her father was on their side.
She couldn't kill those nasty guys because that would make Dad sad. He had already been sad for twenty years and it was hard enough.
Mom is here now, so let’s draw a line between ourselves and the Osborne family.
From now on, she is free.
"Mom, you can live here from now on, or you can open a small shop or something."
"I...I don't know anyone here." Louisa said timidly.
Flora smiled gently: "It's okay, you will have friends. This island is big and the scenery is beautiful."
For the mother who had not left the back garden for twenty years, it was indeed difficult to contact people from the outside world all of a sudden. After all, in the original place, she had always been the most humble and the one with the lowest status. But now, she could talk with ordinary people around her on an equal footing. Flora believed that her mother would slowly like this new life.
"By the way, I have something to give you. I asked your father to send it to you." Louisa wiped away her tears and took out something wrapped in a piece of silk from her pocket. The silk was slowly spread out, revealing a magazine inside, the 28th issue of "New Age Science".
"What is this?" Flora took the magazine doubtfully and looked at her mother in confusion.
"Open it and take a look."
Flora opened the magazine and flipped through it a little, then it automatically jumped to a page with a crude bookmark made of cardboard. The title of the page was "False Theory: Twin Hypothesis!" On the bookmark was Milo's handwriting: Sister, you are free.
Flora's expression froze at this moment, tears silently rolled down her cheeks, she closed the book tremblingly and closed her eyes tightly.
In the end, she was the only one who was treated happily. Her father chose to give up his own pride in order to protect her and Milo's pride. Milo never gained freedom from beginning to end, but wanted to let her gain freedom.
"Thank you... Thank you, Milo." Flora stood silently for a long time, slowly opened her eyes, and her green pupils once again exuded a light of hope that had never been there before.
"Mom, I fell in love with someone." Flora said suddenly.
Louisa was slightly stunned, then smiled: "You can love whoever you want, can I meet him?"
"If possible, I will bring him back. But now I have to tell him something." Flora held the magazine tightly in her hand with a brilliant smile, "I'm going to tell him that I have given up revenge!"
…
Su Ming arrived at Dragon Island alone. He landed at the flying dragon breeding farm on the west side of Dragon Island.
There are huge iron cages here, and various flying dragons are locked in the cages. They are the kind of Western dragons that you often see in movies. They look a bit like lizards, with two huge fleshy wings connected to their forearms. Their heads are exactly the enlarged version of the Komodo dragon, with jagged bone spurs.
"Wow, there really is a dragon." Su Ming looked at the howling flying dragon trapped in the cage, his eyes sparkling.
Creatures like dragons will always attract men. After all, which man hasn't dreamed of becoming a dragon rider when he was young?
Su Ming walked forward slowly, stretched out his hand tentatively, and put his hand close to the cage.
"Woo woo~"
The flying dragon in the cage seemed to be particularly fond of Su Ming, making strange gurgling sounds. It put its head close to Su Ming's palm, opened its mouth and stuck out its tongue to lick Su Ming's hand, but Su Ming took his hand back at the last moment.
It wasn't because he had a premonition that he would be bitten, but the dragon's tongue was covered with barbs and looked dangerous. Plus, he smelled a foul odor when he opened its mouth, which made him want to vomit.
Only then did Su Ming remember why he came here. He immediately picked up his mobile phone and searched for the location of Jinjian Financial Company.
Jinjian Financial Company is located in the city center and has a large number of employees. It goes without saying that among these employees there must be a lot of people with Mysterious Eyes, and those people with Mysterious Eyes are likely to recognize him at a glance, so walking in directly from the front will definitely not work, he must think of other ways.
Control the airflow and fly directly up?
No, that would be too conspicuous. Even if Gabriel was inside, he would immediately flee or gather people who could fight him.
At this moment, Su Ming thought of using the hair dress given to him by Xia Xiaoyu. Now that hair dress was quietly placed in the storage ring given to him by Jiang Yichuan. He could take it out and use it anytime he wanted.
Using hair and clothes as cover can undoubtedly avoid some risks of being discovered, but it is not a panacea. In the Mysterious Eye, only low-level people need to activate the power of insight when seeing Xia Xiaoyu. If it is a high-level general, then seeing Xia Xiaoyu does not require any effort. Su Ming is not sure whether there is such a senior cadre in that company.
But it seemed that he had no other choice but to wear this dress and enter Dragon Island.
Wearing this dress and flying to the top floor of Jinjian Financial Company seems to be a good idea. By searching from the top floor downwards, the risk of being exposed will be smaller and the possibility of finding the target will be greater.
…
Inside the Golden Tip Financial Enterprise, Gabriel and Ambrose have been discussing.
After a few days of getting along, Ambrose felt that he and Gabriel might get along well. Although the somewhat feminine blond man in front of him did not give him a good impression at first, he now knew that the other party was a very knowledgeable person with a strong ability to understand.
These days they not only discussed how to hunt Su Ming, but also discussed many things outside this world. Gabriel understood very quickly and could apply many concepts to other situations as soon as he heard them. He could also understand some very abstract conceptual worlds.
Ambrose not only told the other party about Su Ming, but also told him about some other important figures.
"That is to say... Qin Yi and Roland are as famous as Su Ming. Are they as strong as Su Ming?"
"It's hard to say, but these three big shots are all very annoying, and the most annoying one among them is Su Ming."
"I'd like to hear more about it."
"Su Ming is a violent law enforcer, Qin Yi is a ruthless reformer, and Laura is an elusive assassin. This is how we evaluate the three of them."
"this……"
"I understand that it may be a little difficult to understand at first, but you will understand once I give you an example." Ambrose said patiently, "I recently read your history and used the feudal society as the background to describe the principles and habits of the three of them.
If the three of them were in a feudal society, then Su Ming would be equivalent to an invincible army. Normally this army would be invisible, but if the emperor became a tyrant, then this army would appear from any possible place, destroying all the imperial forces like a whirlwind, destroying the emperor, treacherous ministers, and anything else he thought was the source of the problem, and starting everything over again.
Of course there is a premise, he is only responsible for tearing it down, but not for starting over. It is more like solving the root cause of a bad phenomenon, but it is definitely not responsible for making the current situation better.
So he kept appearing in various planes, where people like us were all killed by him, and after killing everyone, he began to move, heading towards the next corrupt kingdom. He is such a character."
"I get it. A violent problem solver."
"Yes! The other Roland is more like an assassin. He doesn't kill unnecessary people, only key figures.
If Roland were put in the same situation as before, only the emperor and some treacherous ministers would die, while the rest would be fine. However, reforms must be made, or he might continue to appear... He is like a chivalrous hero! An elusive assassin!
Although this assassin does not have the same terrifying destructive power as Su Ming, from some perspectives his deterrent power is greater than Su Ming, because he works faster. Unlike Su Ming, he does not have to destroy everything he dislikes before leaving. He only deals with key people!
If we, the World Serpent, were targeted by him, he would probably just kill our leader, but someone like me is not qualified to let him do it.
Therefore, if one reaches the position of leader, he will be more afraid of Roland than Su Ming and the others, because no one knows when Roland will appear, and no one knows where Roland is now. Roland's whereabouts are not as obvious as Su Ming. Often when we know his coordinates, there will be a delay of three dimensions' travel time.
People like us are more afraid of Su Ming, but not so wary of Roland, because Su Ming will not let us go, but Roland will not do anything to us. "
"Interesting. What about Qin Yi? Why is this man called a cold-blooded reformer?" Gabriel narrowed his eyes curiously.
Although he has not left the current world yet, Gabriel feels as if he has lived outside this world for a long time. He can accept what the other party said so easily, as if he just forgot these things instead of never having come into contact with them.
When Ambrose mentioned Qin Yi, there was actually a hint of respect in his eyes. This hint of respect made Gabriel even more curious about Qin Yi.
What kind of person is it that can make his enemies show respect from the bottom of their hearts when they mention him?
"A very complicated person, the dumbest and the wisest of the three. I don't know how to describe him. Su Ming is a soldier, Roland is an assassin, and what about him? He's like a time traveler."
"Time traveler?" Gabriel was stunned when he heard this metaphor.
There are also time travelers in this world, but there are all kinds of time travelers.
There are so many characteristics of a time traveler, so Gabriel doesn't understand why Ambrose described that man as a time traveler.
