Chapter 50 Her Good Wishes
Byrne endured the strong uneasiness and went to visit his wife's family at the Hoffman family.
A few days later, they returned to Nasir in a carriage, still on high alert.
Mr. King’s death was not announced in the circle until after Byrne left. The cause of death was an acute illness caused by excessive obesity, and almost no one knew about the murder.
After thinking about it on the way, Byrne quickly understood why Viscount Best wanted to conceal the cause of Mr. Jin's death. It was because he did not want to make the allies who supported the Lion Family feel too uneasy.
Once again, he felt the consequences of being weak in a cruel world.
"Mr. Jin's status, vision, and wisdom are all above mine, but he was killed casually by a mysterious force because he is, after all, just an ordinary person."
"In this terrifying world full of extraordinary people, all ordinary people are just grass. No matter how well they do, they can only serve as nutrients!"
Without sufficiently powerful supernatural powers, all power and status are just smoke that can dissipate at any time.
Family and personal strength are the foundation of everything.
The ten pillar families are able to override all forces and occupy most of the resources, inheritance, land and wealth in the eastern part of the continent. They rely on the powerful strength cultivated by the family!
Deep in his heart, Byrne suddenly realized that the Fisher family had never walked out of that dark jungle.
All the short-lived beauty you have may vanish at any time.
However, sooner or later they will become "monsters" in the dark jungle.
Because the Fisher family has tremendous advantages that cannot be matched by any forces or organizations in the world.
Sooner or later, they will be able to create a powerful army of extraordinary people!
It's raining.
The sound of rain hitting the ground echoed in the air, bringing a desolate and cold beauty, and the carriage passed heavily over the puddles, splashing water droplets everywhere.
The carriage returned to Nasir in the pouring rain. When he saw the Fisher family's house, he thought of going back to see Margaret and Darren first.
But when he arrived home, Byrne could not find any trace of Margaret and his son Darren.
When he heard the servant say that the two of them had just gone out, a strong sense of uneasiness suddenly surged up in his heart!
Byrne hurriedly looked for the servant to find out where Margaret and Darren were going. After much difficulty, he found out that the two went to the home of Isaac Knight's family in the town.
It seemed that he was going to attend a tea party hosted by a female member of that family.
"tea party?"
Something was very wrong, and everything was making him feel even more uneasy. Byrne had no idea what kind of tea party had to be held on such a rainy day!
Although he thought rationally that with the protection of the great Lord of the Lost, the probability of his wife and children being targeted by the Eagle Family for assassination or kidnapping was low, he still went out in panic.
Byrne braved the heavy rain and came to the vicinity of the Isaac Knight family's residence. His glasses and clothes were completely wet.
It was pouring rain, and misty water vapor enveloped the house, pouring down and connecting the sky and the earth together.
Before he could take a step inside, he saw some women and children walking out of the house with umbrellas. Everyone was talking and laughing, looking very happy. Among them were Margaret and her son Darren.
Standing in the heavy rain, Byrne finally breathed a sigh of relief. Nothing happened to them!
Margaret walked over quickly, holding her son's hand. The smile on her face turned into surprise. She quickly pulled Byrne into the umbrella and said:
"Byrne, why are you here? You came back two days earlier than you said."
Darren also looked up at his father with his big curious eyes.
Byrne wanted to hug his wife, but he didn't want to get her clothes wet, so he forced himself to hold back.
He took a deep breath and explained, "Nothing, I just ran into something and came back early."
Margaret looked at her husband quietly for a long time, then nodded.
"Well, I'm glad you're okay. I won't ask any more questions about what you did."
However, Byrne wanted to ask why she came to the tea party on a rainy day.
When the three of them returned home, he was finally changing his clothes. He could no longer suppress the doubts in his heart and asked gently:
"Margaret, why are you going to a tea party in this weather? What are you doing?"
Margaret replied casually:
"Oh, during the few days you were away, Mrs. Isaac told me a lot about Ms. Moon's beliefs. She said that people with ability should help the weak, women, and children. I think that makes sense."
"Lady Moon is indeed the most kind and considerate deity to the weak. We can't help but want to worship her and be grateful to her."
"What did you just say?"
Byrne was stunned immediately, his eyes filled with great astonishment and disbelief.
He swallowed subconsciously and glanced at the back of his son's hand, which had a red mark on it but had long been hidden by potion.
Margaret paused, then continued with a smile:
"Don't you believe in the Lord of Redemption? He has a pretty good relationship with Lady Moon, and Irene loves children so much, so she probably won't have any objections."
She looked at the silent Byrne and said puzzledly:
"Byrne, what's wrong with you? I felt that the look in your eyes just now was a little scary."
Byrne lowered his head and remained silent for a long time, so long that Margaret gradually felt uneasy. Then she heard him say in a very deep voice:
"I won't care about you, Margaret, but Darren can't go anymore. As the future head of the Fisher family, he must believe in the 'Lord of Redemption' together with Irene and me."
Since Margaret married Byrne, she had never seen the gentle Byrne speak in such a strong and unquestionable tone. She frowned for a long time before nodding.
"Okay, I see. I'm sorry I didn't tell you about this beforehand."
"It's just that in the Syat people's laws and culture, believing in any orthodox church is allowed freedom. I think as long as you don't believe in a heretical evil god, there should be no need to tell you in advance. I just think it's simple."
She paused and continued:
"I'm sorry, but I can promise you with my life that I will never let Darren come into contact with those evil heretics. He will only grow up freely and happily in the arms of the righteous God. That is my only wish."
Margaret suddenly saw Byrne lower his head with a bitter smile, he seemed to want to say something but stopped, then he hugged her tightly with red eyes.
"It's okay, Byrne. What happened to you? Why don't you tell me what happened in Finn City?"
She comforted her thin but powerful husband and said slowly:
"Don't worry, nothing will happen here. The great righteous gods have supreme power and will protect us from foreign enemies and evil cultists."
The man nodded slowly and said calmly:
"Well, I also believe in the power of God, Margaret... I love you."
It's just that there are some dark secrets hidden in the deepest part of my heart that you will never know in this life.
