[Chapter 183 Gratitude from Peter]
David looked at Helen in front of him and had no idea how to answer the question she asked.
Not only David was shocked, but Gwen beside him was also shocked. Her first reaction was: I haven’t succeeded yet! This newcomer actually wants to cut in line?
The second reaction was: Are all the ancient Greeks so direct?
Think about it carefully, this Helen is the one who left her husband and eloped with Trojan Prince Paris for “love”. It doesn’t seem strange that such a person would directly ask David to marry her.
In this slightly weird occasion, only Helen looked at David with expectant eyes: “If you are willing to marry me, you will be eligible to inherit the throne of Sparta, and maybe you will become the king of Sparta.”
“…”
Helen’s words brought David back to his senses. Feeling a little speechless and a little proud, David raised his hand to stop Helen from saying anything, so as to prevent her from saying anything scary again: “This is the first time we met, right?” The
first time I met, she said let me marry you and then inherit the throne. This sounds too unreal! Is this Helen in trouble? Or are her parents forcing her to marry someone she doesn’t like?
When she raised her question, she didn’t get the expected answer, but Helen’s eyes full of doubts.
“No trouble, I just think you are a very outstanding man. I decided to follow my own choice. Is there any problem?”
“Uh… no problem.”
In Helen’s view, she will get married eventually. In addition, her parents are very good to her and are willing to let her choose the man she likes as her husband, rather than combining with certain forces through interests. After Helen, who has
the power to choose her husband independently, came to Winter Town unexpectedly, she did not think this experience was so incredible. Instead, she felt that this was a blessing from God, allowing her to meet David, a perfect man.
After several conversations, David finally figured out Helen’s thoughts and felt that what Helen said made sense. He couldn’t find any point to refute.
Gwen was standing next to her with her mouth open in shock, with an expression of “Is this possible?” on her face.
She felt that she was still too conservative. Compared with Helen, what kind of initiative was she? She should have run to knock on David’s bedroom when Laura was away.
What made Gwen happy was that David did not accept the Greek woman’s “proposal”. She knew that a “playboy” like David would never be fooled into marriage by a woman with just a few words. She was
happy but also a little depressed. Falling in love with a playboy was not a good thing for her either…
Gwen didn’t notice her wild thoughts. David chatted with Helen for a while and introduced her to Winter Town and several companions who came from different worlds like Helen.
Although Helen wrote down all the words, she didn’t understand some of them, so she put the matter of “marriage” aside and asked David what “different worlds” meant.
“This… For example, you are from Sparta.” Then he pointed to the ambulance that Helen had just introduced to him. The ambulance also turned into a humanoid and greeted Helen: “This ambulance is from Cybertron, and the time he lived in is more than 3,000 years away from the time you live in.”
“You mean, he came from 3,000 years after my time?” Helen was a little confused. She looked at the ambulance and felt amazing about this metal giant. She even thought that she might have come to the kingdom of the gods. Maybe this is Mount Olympus? Although David had denied her guess before.
“Besides, you don’t live on the same earth.”
“Earth?”
David gestured to the ambulance. With the holographic images released by the ambulance’s eyes, David introduced to Helen in a simpler and more straightforward way what a ‘parallel world’ is and what the earth is. Helen
looked at the magical picture in front of her. She felt that everything in front of her was very magical. She felt that David’s explanation was too complicated. In fact, it can be explained in one sentence: this is the kingdom where the gods live, and she comes from the human world.
How simple it is!
Thinking that she had unexpectedly come to the world where gods lived, Helen’s thoughts changed a little: she not only wanted to marry the male god named David in front of her, but also wanted to live in this magical world for a long time.
Especially when she learned that the huge and gorgeous palace not far away was the residence of this male god, she couldn’t wait to move in today.
After listening to David’s story, Helen was very happy when David told her that she could travel back and forth between her world and here at will in the future.
“Then, can I invite my parents and brother to come here?”
“Of course.”
Helen nodded. She was going to explain the situation to her father after she went back. At that time, her father would definitely support her choice, and then she would stay here.
Helen, who was very confident in her appearance and figure, felt that she had great advantages and could definitely become David’s wife.
Just as Helen was thinking about this and preparing to ask David to take her to visit this place called Winter Town, a shadow suddenly appeared not far away, and soon turned into a weirdo wearing a red and blue tights.
Helen was attracted by the magical scene. She looked at the phantom and realized it was real. However, the person in the strange red and blue clothes didn’t seem to be in good condition. His face was covered with blood.
“Peter?”
David saw Peter’s embarrassed look and knew that he was in trouble.
“David, Chief Stacy is seriously injured, I need your help…”
“Of course.”
David immediately understood what was going on. Peter should have just fought a big battle with Dr. Lizard Curtis Connors, and in that battle, Gwen’s father George Stacy was seriously injured and died.
“Take me there!”
He put his hand on Peter’s shoulder and said to the ambulance and Gwen, “I’ll be back soon.” Before Gwen could say what she wanted to say, David had already followed Peter to his world.
“I want to go over and take a look…”
After staying for so long, Gwen had figured out that she and Peter came from a “similar” parallel world. The classmate who had the same name as her mentioned by Peter before was actually her in another world.
Unfortunately, Peter rarely came here, and occasionally he came and left in a hurry. Seeing that he was so busy, Gwen didn’t feel comfortable asking him to take her there.
Helen hadn’t figured out what happened yet, and it was the ambulance that helped explain it to her, making her realize that David had “come to the world to rescue mortals”…
David, who was going to rescue mortals, followed Peter and soon arrived at the roof of a building, where he saw the seriously injured Director George Stacy.
George Stacy was still awake at this time, but he was already very weak, just holding on to his last breath.
He had relaxed when he saw Peter leave, but he didn’t expect Peter to come back soon.
“Peter…you…”
George, who wanted to remind Peter to leave as soon as possible to avoid being discovered, found himself enveloped by a golden light, and then the pain in his body was replaced by a tingling sensation, and he, who was originally weak, regained some spirit.
“This is…”
In less than two seconds, he felt the strength in his body return, and the painful feeling of being so weak that he even had difficulty breathing completely left him.
With a slight effort, George Stacy sat up directly from the ground, looking at Peter in surprise… and the strange young man next to Peter.
“What… is going on here? Who is this…” George Stacy looked up at the two young men in front of him, then looked down at himself, and then looked up at the strange young man again. All
the experience accumulated over the years seemed to have turned to dust at this moment. George was sure that he should be dying soon, but now he felt that his physical condition was better than ever, making him feel like he was back to his twenties.
This situation was very abnormal. He suspected that he was actually dead, and everything in front of him was just an illusion.
“Director Stacy, this is Baron David Glamorgan, a friend of mine.”
“Baron… Glamorgan?” George Stacy looked at Peter uncertainly, and then looked at David. He felt even more that what was happening in front of him was an illusion before death.
“Hello, just call me David.” Seeing George Stacy in front of him stretching out his hand and shaking his hand in a daze, David, who knew what the other party was thinking, emphasized: “Don’t worry, you are not dead, and what you saw was not an illusion.”
“Then the injuries on my body…”
“That is a magical power called holy light.” Peter heard the sound of the rescue team coming, and immediately interrupted the conversation between the two after confirming that George Stacy was fine: “Director, you can ask the medical staff to conduct a detailed examination of you later. If there is anything wrong, notify me.”
Then he turned his head and looked at David: “Someone is coming, we have to leave immediately.”
David knew that Peter was worried about his identity being exposed, so he said goodbye to Director George Stacy, who was still in a daze, and returned to Winter Town with Peter.
Quickly returning to Winter Town, Peter breathed a sigh of relief and immediately expressed his gratitude to David: “Thank you very much for your help. If it weren’t for your help, I really don’t know what to do…”
George Stacy is his girlfriend’s father. If he killed George Stacy because of his battle with Dr. Connors, he didn’t know how to face Gwen in the future.
Fortunately, David healed George’s injury. Peter gave David a warm hug in excitement, and David also felt that the reward from Peter had arrived.
“It is indeed a spiritual reward!”
