I seem to be an evil god - #840 - Chapter 838 Returning Home
The rune stones lit up and opened a portal in the void.
Behind the portal is a cave. The cave has been opened neatly by hand, and yellow lanterns are hung on the walls.
Liu Dao and the other three passed through the portal, and the moment the three of them passed through, the portal closed.
“Flia, you’re back.”
Alfred looked at Liu Dao and Alfonso, “I wonder which of the two is Master Ryan?”
“Grandpa Alfred.”
Freya called out respectfully, and immediately held Liu Dao’s arm, “This is my second brother, Ryan Aragon.”
“Second brother, this is our butler, Grandpa Alfred.”
Freya held the five fingers of Liu Dao’s arm with slight force, secretly signaling Liu Dao to speak more respectfully.
Facing Alfred’s gaze, Liu Dao said calmly:
“Hello, Alfred.”
Freya’s face tightened, and when she was about to say something, Alfred had already turned around and walked in front.
“The master is awake. Master Ryan, please come with me.”
Alfred walked in front, and Liu Dao and the others followed. During the process, Freya secretly winked at Liu Dao.
As the baron gradually became seriously ill and became less conscious, daily affairs were handed over to his subordinates.
Alfred, the butler who has been taking care of the Baron, has become the only talker in the Baron’s house, and he can be seen by the Baron every day. A word from him can affect the Baron’s perception of the successor.
After passing through the cave and going around in circles, Liu Dao and the four of them appeared in front of a castle-like manor. The Aragon family mansion was built on the mountain, and its area was far larger than the manor Liu Dao had seen in the royal capital.
Alfred led Liu Dao and the three of them along the way. On the way, Liu Dao noticed several bright or covert glances.
There is an undercurrent.
Regarding this scene, Liu Dao was not surprised at all. Freya’s actions could not be hidden from the eyes of those who were interested.
Finally, Alfred stopped in front of the bedroom on the third floor of the castle and said to Liu Dao and the others: “Please wait a moment, I will inform the master.”
After Alfred entered, Freya looked at Liu Dao anxiously.
“Second brother, why are you so disrespectful to Butler Alfred? Didn’t I remind you?”
“Will he support me if I’m more respectful?”
Liu Dao asked with a slight smile. Freya hesitated and then said: “But at least give him a good impression. We don’t ask him to support us, but at least we promise not to favor others.”
“Stop dreaming. If he wants to take sides, it doesn’t matter if you act as his mistress. Only strength determines your attitude.”
After Liu Dao finished speaking, Alfred walked out of the door and said with a faint smile: “Miss Freya, and this friend of Master Ryan, please wait outside the door so that I can see Master Lane alone.”
At this time, Alfonso, who had also transformed into a young man, took a few steps back and leaned against the wall nearby.
Freya wanted to say something, but was defeated by Alfred’s eyes.
“Please come in, Master Lane.”
The door opened, and what appeared in front of Liu Dao was a big bed and an old man sitting on a recliner. The quilt still had signs of being lifted. The baron must have just gotten up from the bed.
“Sit down, my son.”
The baron’s voice trembled slightly, as if his body function no longer allowed him to speak a clear word.
Liu Dao sat opposite the baron, his attitude more restrained. In any case, Ryan Aragon provided him with a body, Liu Dao should respect the old baron.
“Long time no see, Your Excellency.”
Liu Dao said hello calmly and realized that he was addressed as baron instead of father. A glimmer of light flashed in the old baron’s eyes.
“My son, you seem to have changed a lot after experiencing things in the outside world, but your stubborn character has not changed at all.”
Liu Dao remained silent, and the old baron continued: “Are you still blaming me for favoring your eldest brother? I thought you had recognized the gap between you and him. Even if you took refuge in those fishy guys, you still couldn’t turn him away. Kill.”
The old baron’s words were thorny. If it was the original Ryan, he would have probably exploded by now. However, Liu Dao just shook his head and said calmly:
“There is no need to mention the past anymore. I have already paid the price for it. There is nothing worth remembering about my eldest brother and this family.”
“Then why do you come back? My stubborn son?”
The old baron spoke in a high-pitched voice, “You are still the same as before, greedy for power but unwilling to admit it. You have to be put in your mouth to swallow it unwillingly!”
As he spoke, the old baron’s voice dropped, and he gasped slightly: “If there is no other choice, I really don’t want Freya to bring you back.”
“I’m afraid that will disappoint you, Your Excellency Baron.”
Liu Dao shook his head calmly and turned his gaze to the window, “I came back just to see this land again and see my friends and relatives. Whatever you want to fight for, you can earn it yourself. It has nothing to do with me.”
“Ha! I didn’t expect that my son still has the potential to become a sage, but you are a duplicitous boy. If you don’t come here for power, why do you still want to see me?”
The old baron’s breathing became more severe, and Alfred handed over a handkerchief in time.
“Cough! Cough!”
Liu Dao waited until the old baron finished coughing and then spoke: “There is only one reason why I came to see you. You are the father of this body, that’s all.”
Hearing this, the old baron stared at Liu Dao carefully for a long time, and finally sneered: “Really? But my dear son, your brothers won’t think so. After walking out of this door, they will stare at him like hounds.” They won’t stop until they bite off the last piece of your flesh.”
“After all, you have raised this body and given it an environment where it can live a normal life. In order to repay this kindness, it is worth paying some price.”
Liu Dao stood up and walked to the door, “Coming to see you can be regarded as settling the past. After all, when we meet next time, I can only take one last look at you from top to bottom.”
Liu Dao pulled the door bolt and walked out. Today’s conversation has been rehearsed in Liu Dao’s mind many times. Ryan Aragon’s mother died early, and when Liu Dao came to take away her body, there were some differences between this world and Ryan Aragon. The only one who had a relationship was the old baron.
Today’s conversation is the farewell between Ryan Aragon and the old baron, and also the farewell between Liu Dao and Ryan Aragon. No matter what happens in the future, Liu Dao will always be Liu Dao, and will never be Ryan Aragon again, or Gaia Srilanka.
When he walked out of the room, Liu Dao felt relaxed. In terms of fantasy, this is called getting rid of the inner demons and gaining spiritual insight. In lay terms, this is called suppressing the possibility of schizophrenia in advance.
After walking out of the room, Freya immediately came up to him and asked the old baron about his attitude towards Liu Dao, and was concerned about whether there were any problems in the conversation.
Inside the door, the old baron was also having a secret conversation with Alfred.
“Afu, do you think what he said is true? Is he just coming back to see me?”
The old baron’s tone was full of disbelief, and the butler Alfred bowed slightly, “I don’t know either, sir.
But this is a good thing for you. Whether Master Ryan is sincere or not, he is the best candidate at the moment. “
“The best candidate.”
The old baron repeated, a glint flashing in his eyes.
