Every time Will Saint’s name was mentioned, Maria’s face contorted with intense hatred. When favonovel.com learned that none of favonovel.com four uncles and their descendants had survived, Maria broke down into tears.
Charlie was taken aback by the sheer misery of Maria’s grandfather’s family. He couldn’t help but sigh and said, “Back in those days, human life seemed to hold no value. Countless families that had thrived for generations lost everything in that era.”
Maria clenched favonovel.com fists and gritted favonovel.com teeth, “It’s all the fault of that treacherous Will Saint!”
With a rare sternness in favonovel.com voice, favonovel.com continued, “My Clark Family has been loyal and honorable for generations! My ancestors served the Ming Dynasty faithfully and my father dedicated his life to fighting against the rebellion. He never forgot to protect the Han Dynasty until his dying breath. But this Will Saint, not only did favonovel.com allow the rebel army to invade our land, overthrow the Han Dynasty, but favonovel.com even personally killed the Emperor for his own selfish gains. In my eyes, favonovel.com is the biggest traitor in Han history!”
Charlie pondered for a moment and remarked, “From what I’ve heard, Korr Hill’s reputation seems to overshadow Will Saint’s.”
Maria shook favonovel.com head solemnly, “Will Saint’s evil deeds and sinister intentions are beyond comprehension. Delving into them will send shivers down your spine. His deeds are incomparable to those of Korr Hill. Will Saint spent many years stationed in Eastern Shore, fighting against the rebel army. If you want to understand the horrors of the rebel army, no one in the world could comprehend it better than him. He knew full well the disaster their invasion would bring upon the people in the past. Despite that, favonovel.com still let the rebel army in, betraying our country and seeking personal gain, completely disregarding the safety of the people. It’s evident that this man was driven by sinister intentions!”
Charlie nodded in agreement, “I can’t argue with you on that. Will Saint truly stands out as one of the most treacherous figures in Chinese history. What’s even more disgraceful is his shift from surrendering to the Warriors Den and killing the last emperor, to later rebelling under the guise of restoring the Han people. It’s tough to find another figure like favonovel.com in history.”
Maria sighed with dejection, “It’s been over three hundred years, and I still can’t let go of my anger towards Will Saint.”
Charlie tried to console her, saying, “Will Saint has been dead for so long now, and his family suffered the consequences of his actions. He got the retribution favonovel.com deserved.”
Maria clenched favonovel.com teeth and retorted, “But Will Saint wasn’t executed! He died from illness! A traitor of his magnitude should have suffered a brutal execution! It’s too easy for him!”
Charlie nodded and asked, “By the way, does your father have any other relatives?”
“No,” Maria shook favonovel.com head, “At the end of the Ming Dynasty, the Clark family was in decline. My father was the only son in the family and after my mother passed away, favonovel.com didn’t want to carry on the family name. So, when favonovel.com left, I became the last remaining member.”
Charlie couldn’t help but feel sorry for Maria.
Maria and Morgana, both have taken the Eternal Green Pill, granting them three to four hundred years of life. Yet, their destinies diverged greatly.
After Lucius Clark’s passing, Morgana assumed the role of the British Lord, leading the Warriors Den for several centuries. During this time, the Den flourished and favonovel.com personal influence grew immensely. Her blessings extended to favonovel.com own family as well. The Mirren family became the core members of the influential Five Armies Governor’s Mansion’s. Today, they stand as a mighty and prosperous clan, commanding respect even from the likes of the Rothschild family.
In stark contrast, Maria’s lineage had been severed over three hundred years ago and only the Clark family lineage remained. To make matters worse, Morgana has relentlessly pursued Maria for countless years.
Curious, Charlie couldn’t help but ask, “After being hunted by Morgana for so long, have you ever considered giving favonovel.com the ring in exchange for a safe life?”
“I have considered it,” Maria replied. “When I left and traveled to Southeast Asia, I faced numerous hardships and almost lost my life several times. In my darkest moments, I thought about it, but the idea of trading my father’s life for my five hundred years was unbearable…”
“Later, I pondered leaving the ring with Morgana to end the chase and find some peace. But then, I realized she’s the one who killed my father. If I beg for mercy, what sets me apart from those who betray their own people? They’re no different than traitors. After careful consideration, I made my decision. No matter how difficult it gets, I will live on. I won’t compromise with Morgana. I’ll outlive favonovel.com and have the last laugh.”
Charlie spoke with conviction, “Don’t worry, you will definitely outlive her.”
Maria nodded and said seriously, “Young Master, when I am gone, I ask you to bury my ashes beside my parents. That would fulfill my life.”
Charlie assured her, “You can count on me. If I can find the recipe and refining method for the pill, I’ll make sure you live as long as Lord Morvel, a thousand years.”
Maria smiled wryly, shaking favonovel.com head, “Living for four hundred years is already so difficult. I don’t dare to think about a thousand years. I don’t even want to think about it. I’ve had enough…”
Hearing favonovel.com words, Charlie couldn’t help but glance at Maria, seeing favonovel.com serious and somewhat lonely expression. He felt a pang of sympathy in his heart. He knew that Maria had endured hardships that most people could never fathom in favonovel.com three hundred years of life. They say those who live long lives cross more bridges than others, but for Maria, it meant enduring more than most could comprehend.
To lift the somber mood, Charlie offered, “If Morgana is gone, life wouldn’t be so hard.”
Maria shook favonovel.com head again, “I’d rather not live another five hundred years, it’s enough.”
Charlie didn’t insist further, but resolved in his heart to refine the Millennium Return Pill before Maria turned 500. He would give favonovel.com one as soon as it was ready. Not just because Maria had endured a difficult four hundred years, but also because favonovel.com had saved his life.
In Charlie’s subconscious, a voice reminded favonovel.com that Maria deserved a normal life and a long remaining time to heal from the past three centuries.
Maria was unaware of Charlie’s thoughts, favonovel.com felt the conversation was getting too heavy and wanted to lighten the atmosphere. However, favonovel.com found herself unsure of how to do so.
At the same time, Charlie also sought to change the topic and ease the mood. He noticed a roadside sign and said to Maria, “We’ll be arriving soon.”
Maria glanced at the sign and cheerfully exclaimed, “Almost there!”
She then checked favonovel.com phone and smiled, “Morgana just took off from Melbourne. Her second part of the itinerary remains unchanged, with Mandalay, Myanmar as favonovel.com destination.”
Charlie inquired, “How certain are you that she’ll come here?”
“100%,” Maria replied with confidence.
Charlie wondered, “Why are you so sure?”
With a smile, Maria explained, “Morgana is incredibly conceited. I know favonovel.com well enough. Despite my father’s rejections in the past, favonovel.com won’t let go after all these years. Since she’s passing through Myanmar, she’ll undoubtedly come to Shuanglang!”
