Chapter 267 Is the past worth looking back on?
When Alexander actually stood on the second duel stage...
Suddenly, an angry curse was heard in the "VIP" viewing room.
"What a daredevil! What is he doing!"
With a loud "boom", Professor Daniel smashed the table in front of him to pieces.
Broken pebbles flew out in all directions...
“Swoosh…”
Two stones brushed past James' ears one after another, but one small stone still hit James' face.
A streak of blood slowly emerged from James's face, and then a drop of blood slowly slid down...
Daniel noticed this scene and his heart tightened.
"James!"
James met Daniel's somewhat panicked and worried gaze, and wiped the scratched left cheek calmly.
"James... I... I... I didn't mean to..."
As he spoke, Daniel stepped over the ruins of the stone table, but the next second, James's action made him stop quickly.
James took a step back, then bowed and said, "Professor Daniel, Alexander's actions have affected our reputation. Please allow me to leave here first and deal with the next..."
"Not urgent."
Daniel took a deep breath and waved his hand casually.
"These old guys are warning us."
James frowned. "But wasn't this already agreed upon? As long as Beatrice isn't found and her life or death is confirmed, the academy must give us a..."
"Haha, James, don't be so naive. Don't look at what is discussed in private. See what really happened. Also, don't worry about your sister's affairs anymore. Your father will handle it himself."
James paused for two seconds, then nodded silently.
He was very dissatisfied with Beatrice's behavior at first, and he even thought darkly that if he didn't have this sister...
But when he learned that Beatrice was really dead, James felt endless desolation in his heart.
If he had known this would happen, he shouldn't have let Beatrice participate in the College Cup. Also, he probably wouldn't have had to insult Beatrice so much, causing her to develop this personality and behavior later...
"James, what are you thinking about?"
He didn't know when Daniel had appeared in front of him.
Then, when James was a little flustered, Daniel held his arm with one hand, and then slowly put the other hand on his face.
Gently wiping away the blood that gushed out again, Daniel said with some distress: "James...it's my fault that you got hurt accidentally."
Because the distance was close, James could feel the warm breath when Daniel spoke.
James' eyes suddenly widened, "No!"
"Dan...Uncle Daniel! Please let me go!"
James said as he struggled to free his arm from Daniel's grasp.
Daniel glanced at his empty palm, then couldn't help but take another step forward, "James! Beatrice is dead! Do you know how worried I have been about you during this time?"
Daniel continued with red eyes: "I'm scared, very scared! I'm scared to the point of going crazy!"
Honestly, James was even more scared at this point.
"James, if there were no game today, you would still be hiding from me, right? Have you forgotten that I raised you!"
Hearing the last sentence "I raised you", James's defenses were immediately broken.
"I never wanted you to raise me!"
Daniel was equally angry, "But I have raised you! Your father is busy and has no time to take care of you. If it weren't for me, how could you..."
James' hands were shaking with anger, "It's you! It's you! It's you who made me an outlier!"
Daniel was stunned when he heard this, "Alien? How can you be an alien?"
"Hehehe..." James suddenly laughed.
He chuckled first, then laughed...
"Hahahahaha..."
James wiped the tears from his laughter, "If it weren't for you, how could I be like this now? You are also an outlier! No, you are the outlier! It's you! If it weren't for you, how could I be different from others!"
Daniel was silent.
He looked at the tears in James' eyes with a very sad expression.
"You...you still think this way...I thought you were young and ignorant before, and didn't know how to love, but now..."
James was stunned. He was about to say something, but was frightened by Daniel and took two steps back until he hit the wall behind him.
"Hehe, James, you are the same as me, but... do you think I made you like this? Or do you think you were influenced by me?"
Daniel smiled and stepped forward, "Admit it, this is all your fault!"
"impossible!"
James retorted loudly, Daniel frowned, and then set up another magic circle.
"Impossible! Absolutely impossible! It's you! I became like this!"
Daniel snorted coldly, "I know I'm different, so when you were little, I paid a lot of attention to it, but... James, it's really you."
When he said this, Daniel's face was full of reminiscence.
"Have you forgotten? Do you remember who was the first person I killed in front of you?"
James was stunned when he heard this. Of course he knew who it was. This was also a painful memory that he could not erase from his heart...
"It was your valet, wasn't it? I deliberately beat him to death in front of you to correct you. I thought it was because you were too curious, so how did I do it?"
Daniel continued forward, and when he walked in front of James again, he did not touch James again, but put his hands next to his head.
"I arranged for maids for you, but you still weren't interested. I thought it was because you thought their status was too low, so I found Beatrice for you..."
James's head shot up at this.
Beatrice...
His lips trembled and his eyes were filled with shock.
"Beatrice? Back then... it was... you?! No... no no..."
James seemed to be stupid and couldn't even utter a complete sentence.
Beatrice came to him with Daniel's instructions, or instigation?
Because Daniel is the best at deceiving people...
Beatrice... So it's all because of me?
Because of me, Beatrice became like that and ended up like this?
Why...why is this happening?
Looking at the distraught James, Daniel seemed fine. He stretched out his hand again, and a light green light appeared on his fingers.
As the green light flowed, the scar on James's face began to heal slowly...
But James didn't seem to feel any of this. His eyes were empty and his body was shaking unconsciously...
Daniel touched James' cheek and said, "I didn't want to tell you this, but too many things have happened recently...
Beatrice is dead... I've been worried about you for so long...
I am very scared, just like I was when I thought I was going to lose you...so I have to tell you these things."
When James heard Daniel say this, he finally regained some of his sanity.
With a crisp "pa" sound, James slapped Daniel's hand aside.
"Don't touch me with your dirty hands!"
Daniel's pupils suddenly shrank, "My... dirty hands?"
Anger surged in his heart, and Daniel used even greater force to press James back against the wall.
"You said I'm dirty? Who is dirtier between the two of us? That damn stinky bug back then! What did he do to you? Have you forgotten? You..."
"Duang..."
Before Daniel could finish speaking, James swung his fist and hit Daniel directly in the face.
But the strange thing was that after James hit him, it made a sound like iron and stone.
James was not too surprised by this, because this was the result of Daniel's biological transformation.
"Shut up! Shut up!"
Daniel straightened his head, which had been hit crooked, and then he used his tongue to touch his cheek.
"Heh, you've gained a lot of strength. It seems you haven't neglected your exercise. Not bad."
James didn't answer and pushed Daniel back hard.
"Daniel, I'm telling you, I don't like you!"
Daniel laughed twice, "Then tell me... who do you like?"
He rubbed his cheek and then spat out a mouthful of blood foam.
"What I said just now was a bit conservative. The increase in your strength has exceeded my expectations. Tell me, what reward do you want?"
Hearing this, James suddenly became a little dazed.
There was a time when this was the sentence he most wanted to hear from Daniel.
When he was a child, every time he completed a task assigned by Daniel, or completed a goal set by Daniel for him, his closest uncle Daniel would say this with a smile.
"Tell me, what reward do you want?"
Whether it was food or toys, as long as he asked, Daniel would bring it back for him.
They are close and they talk about everything...
From the time he was a child until he came to the Dark Bone Grove, James was truly happy.
However, when James stepped out of the family that always protected him, he finally realized...
Some of his ideas...are not accepted.
Especially him and Daniel, it was very strange.
Under such circumstances, James lived with a heavy heart for two years.
Finally one day, a boy named Calvin walked into his life.
Calvin is Professor Dora's student, and he also has a senior sister named Billie...
The teacher-student relationship and the relationship between senior and junior students at Professor Dora's place are very harmonious, so he sometimes comes here to play with Calvin.
As they interacted more and more, James and Calvin's relationship became closer and closer.
Everything is a matter of course.
James was very happy, and the haze in his heart gradually dissipated.
But after thinking about it, he decided to share his joy with Daniel...
After all, they are close and they can talk about anything.
And Daniel always firmly supports him, without exception over the years...
James didn't express his happiness immediately. He continued to be the same as before until he once again achieved a stage goal set by Daniel...
"Tell me, what reward do you want?"
Daniel asked with a smile on his face as usual.
James was also very happy because he could finally tell his happy little secret.
And if nothing unexpected happens, he will get Daniel's blessing!
Double happiness...
Just thinking about this makes people happier.
"Professor Daniel, I want to tell you something."
Daniel raised his eyebrows and said, "Naughty boy, tell me, what surprise have you prepared for me this time?"
At this time, Daniel really thought it was a surprise, but he didn't expect that James gave him a "shock".
"I fell in love with someone."
Daniel: ?
"What?"
James chuckled, "I said... I've fallen in love with someone! His name is Calvin!"
Daniel thought he hadn't heard it clearly just now, but when he heard James repeat it, he felt like he was struck by lightning...
"You...what did you say?!"
James frowned, wondering what was wrong with Daniel today...
He did not receive Daniel's blessing that day.
He also received no reward because he was kicked out by Daniel.
"Get out! Get out of here!"
James didn't tell Calvin about these things because he felt it was unnecessary.
So this became a thorn in James' heart.
He often thought that if he had told Calvin all this at the time, the clever Calvin might have understood Daniel's thoughts and saved his own life.
But unfortunately, there are no ifs in this world...
James hadn't seen Daniel for a while, ever since he told him his little secret.
He didn't even show up for Daniel's class.
James was a little worried, thinking that something had happened to Daniel, so he went to look for Daniel...
However, before he could find Daniel, the bad news came first...
……
Forget the past.
In front of Daniel, James's heart scars were hit again and again.
Daniel's whisper was like a rusty knife, "James, you don't have anyone you like right now, right?"
James seemed to have been electrocuted. When he came to his senses, he looked at Daniel and said with a smile, "Are you worried that I will do something to the person you like? Or... am I the one you like the most?"
"Madman...you are a madman!"
James practically pointed at Daniel's nose and cursed.
"I'm crazy? Haha, James, don't be silly, you and I are the same, we are the same!"
"Madman! You deserve to die! I'll kill you! I'm going to kill you!"
James attacked angrily, and a dangerous black light burst out from James's hand. Daniel narrowed his eyes and said disdainfully: "Kill me? You are not qualified yet!"
Daniel's speed was as fast as lightning. A dazzling red light flashed on his hand, and then he pressed directly down on James's hand.
The black light disappears...
"Daniel!"
