Chapter 48 Who will believe Andy?
The people of York living in remote North Africa obviously had no idea that His Majesty the Emperor, who was at the pinnacle of world power, had just glanced over here for someone's sake.
Then I felt disgusted.
Under a clear sky, the rules of this small desert country are still operating as usual.
Sister Lily, who returned home, did not get the worst answer from her grandfather.
However, the result was no different from the worst case scenario.
"If this is indeed the plan of the top management."
In the Japanese-style hall, the old warrior's expression was moved when he heard his granddaughter's statement.
After a long silence, he said this.
"Then we shall obey."
"But do you think this is correct?"
On the way back, Lily had calmed down.
Because she knew clearly that emotional excitement would not help at all.
But now, facing the indifferent old grandfather across the coffee table, her face turned ugly as she knelt on the futon.
"Andy's talent, Andy's vision, and Andy's brain are all crucial to us! He can lead us to rise, instead of just living here in humiliation!"
"Trading him would also allow our organization to rise."
The old warrior drank his tea calmly as he spoke, "Besides, it will be faster than waiting for him to grow up."
“This is short-sighted!”
The girl said in a slightly annoyed tone, "Let's not talk about whether the royal family will trade with you honestly. Even if they do, do you think that rising in this way will be a good thing for the organization?"
"Why is it not a good thing?" the old warrior asked without comment.
"He is just playing tricks and schemes, and he doesn't dare to confront the royal family head-on! Who can look down on such behavior?"
Even though she kept telling herself to stay calm, Sister Lily still couldn't control her emotions when facing her loved ones.
"Will this help the unity within the organization? Will it help the organization grow? If Andy can be traded out for profit today, will other members be sent to the enemy tomorrow for profit as well?!"
"There are very few people who are worth more than Andy currently, so it's very unlikely that something like this will happen again."
While speaking, the old warrior's expression was still normal, or rather, full of patience.
"Also, I need to correct you. When this plan brings huge benefits, the organization will definitely be more united than ever before. With sufficient foundation and resources, we will also grow rapidly."
"Like a bunch of sewer rats having a revelry in the dark?"
The girl was so angry that she laughed, "Do you really have the nerve to enjoy the benefits gained from selling out your own people?"
But is he one of us? The old warrior was silent for a moment, then said, "Before you start making moral accusations, I hope you can think carefully about how old we are now."
"What does this have to do with age?"
"Of course it is related. Maybe when Andy grows up, he can cause some damage to the royal family, or even lead us to compete with the royal family. But when that day comes, will I, your grandfather, still be alive?"
These words startled the emotional girl, and she remained silent for a while.
Of course, the lifespan of a superhuman being is longer than that of an ordinary person, but this is only limited to powerful superhumans.
For example, the extraordinary people in these remote small countries sometimes have a shorter lifespan than normal people.
Ability training, various experiments, going out for adventures, seeking revenge...
There are so many unexpected things that many extraordinary people don’t even live to old age.
The health of older extraordinary people is generally not very good, because they suffered too many hidden injuries when they were young and they have no ability to heal them.
According to Lily, the grandfather in front of her has always been in poor health...
“The future of the world belongs to the young.”
Seeing her silence, the old warrior slowly said: "But our generation is unwilling to accept old age. We are unwilling to place all our hopes in the future, in the hands of young people."
"There are too many uncertainties in doing that, and I can't afford to wait."
"So if you say it's short-sighted, then it's short-sighted."
"I just hope that in my lifetime, I can see the royal family in a state of embarrassment, rather than always being so high and mighty, making people hate them but unable to do anything about it."
The girl's expression darkened when she heard this.
Rebels usually have grudges against the royal family, and my grandfather was certainly no exception.
As an alien from the island, he married into the Kozia family. Before that, he actually had a childhood sweetheart from the same hometown.
However, when he came to this country for a trip, his girlfriend suddenly disappeared. After searching for a long time, he finally found her body, and her death was extremely tragic.
Lily didn’t know the details of this matter before. After all, the other party’s identity was embarrassing and her family never mentioned it.
Now that I think about it, the death of my grandfather’s ex-girlfriend was most likely related to the royal family.
only……
"Are you starting to play the emotional card now?"
Under the surprised gaze of the old warrior, the girl asked in a trance, "I thought that relatives should communicate honestly about everything, and even if there are disagreements, they should be reasonable?"
The old man was speechless for a moment, but inwardly he was very surprised at his granddaughter in front of him. How could she suddenly become so perceptive?
Although my granddaughter was very smart before, she rarely used her brain during verbal communication, had a rigid personality, and was more like a nerd.
Why do you seem to have come to your senses now?
Is it because he has become a transcendent?
But it's only been a few days? "You can't make sense."
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
When the old warrior was confused, the girl's face became a little sad, but her tone was very calm.
"It can only be because you feel that you are unreasonable. You are unreasonable, but you still support the decision of the top leaders of the organization. The reason is that you adhere to the principle of interests first - am I right?"
"That's true!"
The granddaughter had grown up visibly, and the old warrior, who had come to his senses, showed a rare smile on his face.
"Apart from all the irrelevant things, I just think that the benefits of nurturing Andy to grow up are far less than the benefits of trading him."
"Do the top executives all think this way?"
"Who else would not think this way except you?"
“…”
The girl kneeling at one end of the coffee table fell silent upon hearing this.
After a long silence, she looked deeply at her grandfather opposite her.
“I hope you won’t regret it in the end!”
After saying that, she stood up and walked out of the hall.
What is she going to do? The old man was startled when he saw this.
Tell the boy? But what's the point? Even if he knew, would the boy be able to resist?
My granddaughter is still too impulsive...
He felt helpless about this, but he did not speak up to stop it.
There is no need for him to stop it.
Because after opening the screen door in the living room, three figures blocking the way instantly came into the girl's sight! In the dimly lit corridor, the short and ugly man was standing there with a gloomy face.
Next to him was a dignified and beautiful middle-aged woman, holding a naive little girl of two or three years old in her arms.
Father, mother, sister...the whole family was there.
They didn't know how long they had been standing here, but judging from the complicated expressions on their faces when they looked at the girl, they obviously knew everything.
Moreover, they all stood on grandfather’s side!
"you?"
The girl's face turned pale, finding it hard to accept what she was seeing.
"You too—"
"Although this is cruel and shameless, this is the reality."
The ugly man looked bitter, "Kid, I don't want to see this happen, but you have to -"
"What's the point of saying this nonsense!"
Before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by the woman holding a child beside him.
The woman had an impatient expression and stared sternly at her eldest daughter, with a kind of anger that was akin to a disappointment in her daughter's character.
"What kind of magic potion did Andy give you that made you not even listen to the words of your elders?"
"Get back here right now!"
