Seeing this scene, Hayredding raised his hands to indicate that he had no ill intentions. Seeing that the other party had calmed down a little, he said," My name is Barbarossa d. Hayredding. As for other matters, I must first know your relationship with Mobil Rockfill before I can tell you…"
"Big brother!" Upon hearing this name, the young man instantly became excited. It was as if he had also felt Hai Lei Ding's kindness. He put down his gun and walked in front of Hai Lei Ding with a few vigorous steps. He looked straight into Hai Lei Ding's eyes and asked anxiously with joy on his face,"Do you have any news about my brother?"
Brother? Was he Captain Mobil's younger brother? No wonder they look so alike…Hayredding thought to himself, then slowly said,""Captain Mobil, he…"
"What happened to him?" The young man hurriedly asked.
"He's dead. He died on the Eastern Sea several years ago.”Hai Lei Ding's expression sank, his thoughts returning to that smoke-filled morning, that heart-palpitating moment. His words were filled with deep longing and endless admiration as he slowly explained,""He died on the battlefield like a man. He saved me.”
Hearing this, the young man took a step back in disbelief and almost fell to the ground. His face was ashen, and he seemed to have lost all expression in an instant. Two lines of tears flowed uncontrollably, and he muttered,"No, this is impossible! How could he die? How could my brother die!"
Then, he suddenly jumped up and grabbed Hayredding's hands. Filled with hope, he frantically asked,""You must be lying! You must be lying to me, right?"
Hayredin didn't say anything. He just stared at him sadly and shook his head without saying anything.
The young man was stunned. After a long time, he came back to his senses. He took out a handkerchief and wiped his tears. In an instant, he returned to the way he was when Hai Lei Ding first saw him. He bowed elegantly and said apologetically to Hai Lei Ding,"My apologies, my name is Wester Rockfell. Please allow me to lead the way to my family's castle.”
He recovered so quickly? Hayredding was a little surprised at the speed at which Wester's expression changed. However, he also saw the unconcealable sorrow in Wester's eyes. This was the demeanor that a so-called heir groomed by a large family should have, right? Hayredin swept his gaze over it, and a ring that was exactly the same as his own appeared on his left hand. He couldn't help but feel relieved.
After going around a mountain, a huge and magnificent castle suddenly appeared in front of Hayredding. He was not surprised, but looked at a few hidden corners with some admiration. There were some people hiding there, and they were all quite skilled. They should be the family's guards. They were indeed worthy of being a big family with a long history! Hai Lei Ding secretly praised.
Under Wester's lead, Hayredding successfully arrived at the side of the castle. Although Hayredding could feel the magnificence of the castle from afar, when he got closer, he realized that the description of magnificence in his heart was not enough to describe this magnificent castle. The white walls, red tiles, and pointy roofs glistened under the sun. Emerald vines crawled all over the castle windows, giving the castle a sense of history while giving it a green ornament. There was a huge garden with all kinds of animals and plants living happily. A small lake was in the middle of the garden. The lake, forest, and castle formed a fairytale fairyland.
The servants seemed to have already known about Winston's return. They lined up in two rows by the door to welcome his return. Although he was a little scared by this situation, Hayredding still calmly followed the servant to an empty room. After the servant left, Hayredding began to size up the room. The gorgeous bed, the soft mattress, and some seemingly ordinary but perfect decorations made Hayredding feel at home.
Picking up a book that looked very old on the table, Hayredding glanced at it casually. When his eyes fell on the signature on the cover of the book, he could not move his eyes away. Mon Brannorand, in memory of those days in Golden Village. Heavens! Could this book be an antique from 400 years ago? Hai Lei Ding was so shocked that he opened his mouth wide and was about to flip through it.
"Sorry to disturb you!" Winston suddenly appeared at the door and said to Hayredding hesitantly,""Mr. Hayredding, I want to know more about my brother. Can you tell me?”
Of course, Hayredding would not reject this question. After brewing his emotions for a while, Hayredding slowly opened his mouth and brought Wester back to the time when he was in the pirate group of the noble young master." That's how I got to know Captain Mobil…"
Wester's expression changed as Hayredding described. Sometimes he was happy, sometimes he was sad, sometimes he was excited, and sometimes he was nervous. It was not until Hayredding finished describing everything with great emotion that tears once again covered his face.
Unknowingly, the moon had already climbed up the treetops. Winston looked at the stars outside the window and recalled faintly,""When I was young, I loved to watch the stars with my brother and listen to him tell me stories about the sea. He said that there were countless treasures there, many companions who were worth entrusting their lives to, and the dreams of men. Until one day, he left with his closest butler and quietly left the family. At that time, we were all looking for him in panic. "Later on, we heard that he had become a pirate and had a bounty on his head. The last time I heard about him was in the South China Sea. Mr. Bigworf had a messenger from our family. That was the last time we knew about his whereabouts. Then…"
He walked to the window, leaned against the window, and turned around. He looked at Hayredding."Did you know? Big brother has always been my idol, my goal. Be it geography, literature, swordsmanship, or noble etiquette, big brother has always been perfect and impeccable. I always thought that if big brother wanted to become a pirate, he would definitely become the Pirate King! I didn't expect…"
At this point, Winston stopped talking and wiped his tears. After a moment, he put on the aristocratic mask again and said,""Thank you for telling me this and listening to me talk about so many things. My father wants to see you tomorrow. You should rest first.”With that, Wester left, leaving Hayredding sprawled on the bed, recalling the touching and sorrowful memories. He was speechless for the entire night.
"Mr. Hayredding, my master wishes to see you.”Early in the morning, a cute girl wearing a maid uniform with a clear voice appeared at the door of the room with a red face and said respectfully to Hayredding.
As expected of a big family, even a random maid is so beautiful…Following the maid and admiring her back, Hayredding sighed again. At this moment, intermittent voices came from the corner."…I'm just saying that it's possible! After all, our family is so famous…and now is such a critical moment…secretly frame him…and then take his ring back to cheat him of a sum of property…you don't have to say it, I will test him!”
It seemed like someone had misunderstood something. Hayredding rubbed his nose and shrugged helplessly.
The maid brought Hayredding to the room and left, leaving Hayredding to scan the room. The middle-aged man in the middle looked a little weak, and his face was pale. It was obvious that he was seriously ill, but the aura and dignity that he had cultivated over the years in a high position kept emitting from him. The first person on the left was a man slightly older than Hai Lei Ding. He had a gloomy expression as he stared at Hai Lei Ding, as if Hai Lei Ding owed him millions. This kind of person was usually a walk-on. Hai Lei Ding thought to himself and wanted to ignore him. However, from the corner of his eye, he glanced behind him. Eh, this young lady. Hai Lei Ding felt a sense of deja vu, and she was also staring at Hai Lei Ding with a face full of surprise. Could it be that I know him? Hai Lei Ding scratched his head. He had no recollection at all. As for Wester, he stood on the right side and gave Hayredding a friendly and brilliant smile.
"Sir Hayredin!" The man in the middle spoke. His voice sounded weak and weak, but Hayredding could hear a hint of unquestionable aggressiveness."I heard that you brought the news of my son's death and his will, right?”
Although Hayredding was displeased with his interrogative tone, he still decided to fulfill Captain Mobil's wishes first. He took off the ring on his left hand and walked up to the middle-aged man under everyone's wary gazes. He handed it over and said,"Captain Mobil's last wish is for me to return the ring to his family and say to his father,'I'm sorry!'。Now, I have done it…"
The middle-aged man took the ring and played with it in his palm. He was silent for a long time. Hai Lei Ding only saw a trace of sadness flash across his eyes.
"Then do you need any compensation? Just bring it up! Our family has almost everything in this world!”The slightly older man said to Hai Lei Ding with a slightly provocative tone.
Filled with killing intent, Hayredding suddenly turned his head to look at him, scaring him so much that he took a step back and swayed twice. Unexpectedly, he did not fall, but barely managed to stand still. He wasn't a weakling? Hai Lei Ding was also a little surprised. This guy who looked like a pretty boy was actually able to withstand my killing intent? The heir of this family was really not a good-for-nothing.
"How unreasonable! Retreat!" The middle-aged man reprimanded. Then, he changed his tone and said to Hai Lei Ding,"The Rockfall family is very grateful for your help. Please go down and rest. We look forward to having dinner with you.”
After Hai Lei Ding left, the middle-aged man looked at the ring in his hand and said,""What do you think of this man?”
The man who had been threatened by Hai Lei Ding's killing intent clutched his chest and spoke first,""He is very strong, at least a warrior who has been through hundreds of battles. That kind of killing intent almost makes me breathless. This man is too dangerous!”
"Daddy, darling!" The woman who looked very familiar to Hayredding spoke,"I am certain that he is Hayredding, the one who saved me on the Rackley! Although I didn't see his face before, I couldn't mistake his voice and aura.”
"Winston, what do you think?" The middle-aged man asked again, but he did not get an answer for a long time. He could not help but feel a little angry. He raised his head and glanced at the seemingly troubled Winston who was immersed in his thoughts. He immediately raised his voice."Winston! What do you think?"
The startled Winston came back to his senses and said respectfully to his father,""Father, he has no ill intentions towards the family!”
" Yes." After hearing everyone's comments, the middle-aged man fell into deep thought.
In the room, Hayredding was pacing back and forth, deep in thought. The atmosphere in this family was not right. If he continued to stay, he would get into trouble! However, since Captain Mobil's wish had already been fulfilled, there was no longer any meaning for me to stay here. The atmosphere here was simply too terrible. In that case, I should leave before anything else happened. Having thought of this, Hayredding pushed open the window and was about to jump down when he suddenly stopped. He turned around and put the book on the table into his arms. It shouldn't be too much to ask for some compensation. Captain Mobil will forgive me, right? With that thought in mind, Hayredding flashed a few times and disappeared out of the window.
Hai Lei Ding hummed a song as he walked along the small path in the forest. He was thinking about how to make a name for himself. The best way was to set up a pirate group and do a few big cases…
"Who is it?" Just as he was thinking, Haredding suddenly heard a long breathing sound hidden behind a tree in front!
" It's me." Winston flashed out and stood in front of Hayredding.
Had he been discovered? Hayredding touched the book in his arms guiltily and glanced at Wester's appearance.
Wester was wearing a hunting suit and carrying a large backpack on his back. He was looking at Hayredding with anticipation.
"What are you doing?" Hayredding pointed at his backpack and asked in confusion.
"I thought about it all night. I think I should inherit my brother's will!”Clenching his fists, Winston said firmly,""I want to go to a place that my brother has never been to, so I want to go out to sea with you!”
"Then why did you come with me? You have to know that I'm a pirate who doesn't live up to my name!”"Besides, the sea is very dangerous. I can't possibly take care of a child like you," said Hayredin.”
"I'm not much younger than you! Captain. It's nothing. I just believe in my brother's judgment!”"Besides, I'm very powerful!" Winston shook his finger and said.”"Of course, if you can't go there, I'll consider leaving at any time.”
" Haha," Hayredding laughed. He suddenly thought of something and asked,""How did you know I was leaving?"
"I saw it! Do you really think that such a big family would not have any security measures?”Wester looked at Hayredding with great interest, and his next sentence directly sent Hayredding's heart into the cold."There's no need to hide the book in your arms so well. It's a fake. It's a work of a senior in my family who likes to copy.”
" Haha…" Other than scratching his head and laughing awkwardly, Hayredding could not find any other words to say.
"So, Captain, what should we do next?”
"Do you still have to say it? Buy a boat, recruit people, and then make a name for yourself!”
