BXBX NOVEL Chapter 1259: 1256
Lucas’s pace of speech wasn’t slow, and even carried a choking tone, “But Miss didn’t do that. During that time, she went by the alias ‘Angel’ to tip you off, just to prevent any accidents from happening.”
Oliver Walker furrowed his brows, “Angel, it was her?”
Everything, suddenly clear!
He had suspected the young lady before, but her various actions had led him to dismiss that thought.
Yet such a secret, with Lucas being privy to it, undeniably proved that it was all true!
“Hmm!”
Lucas said, “Although Miss didn’t want you to know, today I must tell you!”
Oliver Walker’s brows knitted together, “Then why did you rescue Anthony in the first place?”
Too many doubts laid within, the kind that completely defied logic!
Without clarification, there could be no peace of mind!
“Because Anthony was weak!”
“Miss’s previous thought was, as long as Anthony was still alive, the Eastern Alliance would not dispatch masters, and there wouldn’t have been the subsequent massacre at the chip research and development base by Ellie Will!”
Lucas continued, “She actually knew early on about the determination of the Eastern Alliance.”
Oliver Walker took a deep breath, speechless for a long time!
In fact, it proved the young lady was right; killing Anthony would surely bring forth a stronger enemy.
But how could he, of all people, not understand this principle?
As a national advisor, even if he understood this principle, he still had to slay Anthony.
This was to face the provocation of the Eastern Alliance with a show of force, to defend the might of this country!
“What happened after that?”
Oliver Walker continued, his expression seemingly calm, but inside, his heart was in turmoil!
Not calm at all!
“Actually, the one who entered the ancient martial arts world and killed eighteen people from Carter Company was me!”
Lucas continued, “Miss knew that only with Spirit Gathering Grass could you return to your Peak, so…”
“But unexpectedly, Carter Company had many hidden talents; I was not powerful enough and had to return with regret.”
“But this also led to Carter Company entering the secular world, using the auction of Spirit Gathering Grass as bait, hoping to lure me in!”
This affair held many surprising elements.
Not just for him, but even Miss had not anticipated such a move from Carter Company.
Unexpectedly, it allowed Oliver Walker to obtain the Spirit Gathering Grass!
But it could also not be denied that had Miss not commanded him to enter the ancient martial arts world and kill the people from Carter Company, the subsequent series of events would never have happened.
Oliver Walker felt much relief, “So that’s how it was!”
“She did it all for me!”
It was hard to imagine the truth being so.
It seems the young lady cutting off her ties, was only because she knew it could never be between them, and to spare him from guilt, thus she perpetrated this series of acts.
Even trying time and again to make him hate her!
“Not just that, that day when Anthony Carter made his move, Miss put her all into trying to eliminate this menace!”
“But what she didn’t expect was Ellie Will interfering, and under the pressure from the Federal Bureau of Investigation, Miss received orders to return home.”
“But she was afraid you wouldn’t be able to handle it, so she had me tamper with the plane, eliminating all the company’s spies who were watching her!”
Lucas’s aged face grew increasingly etched with sorrow, “To help her keep this from the company, she even made a bet with me.”
“If you arrived at Eastern Ocean City docks and wept for her death after the plane incident, then I had to cooperate unconditionally with her to perform this act.”
“That day, I lost!”
“Miss and I, from atop the lighthouse, watched you turned into a statue by the cold!”
“At that moment, Miss smiled!”
“I believe she was truly happy, because you still remembered her, still saw her as the ‘young lady’ of the past!”
“But then, after seeing Miss Davis, she cried again…”
