Pride falls

Chapter 10 Fearless

The president's expression turned serious.So Akino faintly felt that things were not simple.

"Do you want to know the truth of history? Everyone says that the demise of your family is the punishment of the gods, the coming of the curse, and the evil result of practicing abnormal spells to reverse the laws of nature. Do you believe it?"

"...Spells, things like this, were born to drive away evil spirits, and to bring everything back on track. Boulder has always understood the rules of Taoism and nature. Heh, why do you want to break the law?"

Akino said sternly, with dissatisfaction in his voice, but was soon suppressed by him, and continued:

"What else does Mr. President know?"

"I know something, but unfortunately I can't say it, sorry." The president scratched his head, with a silly smile on his face, regardless of Akino's angry eyes.

"Oh, don't be so upset, Mr. Akino. The living room is also a public place. It's against the rules for us to talk about it here?"

He immediately understood what the president meant.

The president led him to a small room with no light next door.In the dark space, unspeakable fear quietly breeds.Faintly see the dark green curtains emitting terrifying fluorescence.

"This was originally an interrogation room, but now there are almost no terrorist incidents, so it is almost abandoned." The president smiled, picked up a bottle of water from the table and handed it to Akino.

"President, what does this mean?"

Akino didn't take the bottle of water, and looked into the corner warily.The tiny red dots there are flickering slightly.

"Don't be so vigilant, after all, it is a formal organization, and the supervision is relatively strict..."

The president patted him on the shoulder, signaled him to relax, and then whispered:

"The space here is small, so it's easier to talk."

Akino frowned and turned around, locking the door unceremoniously.

"Mr. President, what do you want to say?" With a heavy "哐", Akino was a little impatient, and his voice was low, but he still used respectful words.

"I once had a friend who said that he is also a descendant of the Boulder family." The chairman's straightforward attitude was unexpected.

"Oh? Your friend? Where is he now?"

"It's hard to say, sir..." Mr. President leaned closer and whispered close to his ear, "He told me that on the family's shame column, it is clearly engraved that the Boulder family was assassinated and betrayed due to poor friendship, so that its rule continent perish."

"Huh?" The light in Akino's eyes faded little by little.

The president sighed and said:

"And the survivors of the family have lived in all directions, concealed their names, and have been avoiding the secret pursuit to this day... What do you think, sir?"

The president continued to get closer, his sensitive breath circling in Akino's ears.

Akino's body trembled violently, and the close distance made him uncomfortable to be offended.

"According to what you mean, that is to say, simple people don't know this, but only know the appearance of Boulder's demise and family decline?" Akino frowned slightly, still calmly analyzing with a rational attitude.

"That's right. And you, Mr. Akino," the president consciously distanced himself from him, smiling, "When you came here, you were wearing a family hat."

"..." Akino didn't make a sound, pretending to look calmly at the president's eyes which alternated between light and dark.

"Do you know what that means?"

The original warm voice of the president was also a little colder, as if it was covered with a thick layer of frost.

"Sorry, but I really don't know about it."

Akino's voice was a little hoarse.As soon as he finished speaking, he saw the president looking at him with complicated emotions.The president's face was covered with a few layers of clouds at first, and then a bright smile broke out for some reason.

"Okay, those who don't know have no fear, and those who don't know have no fear! Today I just remind you, and please don't think too much, sir."

Akino didn't know what kind of complicated emotions he was carrying when he left that room.The temporary rationality could no longer support his spirit, and the intense hatred in his heart grew unscrupulously.

For the sake of the family's honor, since there is no way to go back to the past, let's investigate the truth while completing the primitive accumulation of capital.

The bitterness in his heart was about to swallow him up.He didn't know why, but he wanted to see that young man in the tavern smiling cleanly at him at this moment.

The road covered with silt and thorns is unavoidable, what will be waiting for him ahead?
