Chapter 322 – Final Gif (1/2)
Within the gate, there was a silent convoy, and outside the gate, there was a blond youth silently staring at the convoy and the person sending him off.
“Are you really going?”The man at the head murmured.
“Brother, as matters stand, are you still trying to make me stay?”
“Sigh, forget it, I can’t stop you.”
The man sighed and swallowed all his complaints.
Thomas came today to send his little brother off, it would be too hurtful if they had a falling off before parting ways. So he controlled his emotions and gave him his final warnings.
“Caesar, listen up… this time’s mission is no small matter, Gotham Kingdom has a plague outbreak and several small cities in the west have already become ghost cities. Although the church has developed medicine, but there’s a limited amount. Also, this time’s plague wasn’t an accident, but someone purposely did something behind the scenes, actually…”
“Actually, the hero’s holy sword was already smuggled into Gotham Kingdom… you already told me that so many times.”
“Uh… since you already know, alright then.” Thomas awkwardly smiled and looked at the pink-haired girl, and curiously asked, “Is Rosie also going with you?”
“En, she just had to come with me, I couldn’t shake her off.” Caesar responded honestly.
“Since the lady is willing to go take the risk with you, that McCarthy really spoils her.” Thomas supplemented, “Don’t you let her down.”
“Brother, you misunderstand, I’m just…”
“I understand, your heart isn’t settled and you want to spread your wings. Just don’t go too far… don’t forget, you still have a marriage in half a year.”
“…”
Caesar clenched his fists when he thought of the marriage.
Once married, he would have no way to go wherever he wants, perhaps he might even have to resign his investigator position, let alone become a hero. He would have to obediently stay home and peacefully live out the rest of his life doing nothing… he didn’t want that!
This was his last opportunity!
If he could successfully complete this S rank mission and help the hero find the lost sword, then perhaps he could persuade his father to give him a bit more time… although the chances are slim, he’s willing to give it a shot.
“Sigh…” he brought up a touchy subject again, Thomas shook his head and spoke of something else, “Right, isn’t your fianccée also very strong? Why isn’t she going with you? Also what about that Lin something… right, Lin Xiao, why isn’t he going with you?”
“ShenDai Ying had other arrangements, and I didn’t want to go with her.” He turned to glance at Rosie as he spoke.
Of course he didn’t know that ShenDai Ying already had teamed up with someone else.
“As for Lin Xiao, sigh…”
If he could team up with him, they could definitely successfully complete the mission, and they wouldn’t have to be scared of anybody.
It’s because Lin Xiao changed a lot recently, he wasn’t the dispirited youth he once was, he finally found his goal in life and become a reliable man that could be entrusted with heavy responsibilities.
His intellect and strategies along with Caesar’s strength and bravery, they would form a great team! However…
“His ambitions are elsewhere.”
“Oh, I heard… it seems like he’s not that motivated.” Thomas agreed and nodded.
As for that youth, Thomas has also heard of him.
Lin Xiao had talent and opportunity, but just lacked ambition and just wanted to live a peaceful life unlike Caesar.
Speaking of that, if Lin Xiao and Caesar’s personalities and positions could be swapped, both of them would be extremely happy.
If Lin Xiao wasn’t a commoner, but a prince, he wouldn’t have to be forced to run around even if he didn’t become someone strong, he could enjoy a life of luxury and a free foreign princess as a wife.
And Caesar? If he wasn’t a prince, he could live freely as a commoner and do whatever he wanted to. He could be a hero or mercenary and no one could stop him, and no one would hep him decide his future wife and destroy the rest of his life.
But unfortunately that kind of exchange doesn’t exist.
“I’ll just see you up to here, be careful.” Thomas sighed and patted Caesar’s shoulder.
“Wait for my good news!” Caesar’s nodded and had a resolute gaze full of confidence. He touched the sword at his waist and turned to leave without any hesitation.
Rosie was already getting impatient as she waved at Caesar while making faces at Thomas, like she was blaming him for speaking too much and wasting time.
Thomas lightly chuckled, then heard a strange sound coming from behind him, he could help but hit his head and stop Caesar.
“Wait!”
“What’s wrong?”
Caesar stopped and thought that his nagging brother was going to persuade him again, but when he turned around, he saw a short girl suddenly jump out from the convoy.
The girl was wearing a grey hood and tried to cover her face as best as possible.
