"Despicable things?"
Samuel knew a lot about the dirty things of many large families, but he didn't dare to say that at will.
Morty sneered and said, "Yes, despicable things. They drugged my aunt and threw her on the bed of a
Neo. At that time, the Neo family was just as powerful as the Don family. My aunt lost her virginity for
that. The Hills were afraid that the Neos would deny the fact. So they gathered many people and
caught my aunt on the bed. They almost made my aunt commit suicide."
Samuel didn't want to hear such scandal anymore.
"Mr. Morty, I don't want to hear this anymore. I..."
"You have listened to the beginning of it. It's too late, Samuel. You have known about the scandal of the
Hill family. And you must hear it out. Otherwise, I might have to do something to keep your mouth shut.
You know, Hills are cold-blooded."
Morty's voice was cold.
He was the heir of the Hill family. One day, he would be the commander of that large family. And now,
Morty was in control of the Hill family. Samuel knew that what he said wasn't an exaggeration.
Samuel was a little upset. He shouldn't be curious. But there was also no need to back out now.
Morty must have planned to use him in the beginning. Maybe Morty did this to prepare to be the leader
of Hills.
Morty was not the only one who wanted to be the head of the family. Naturally, he needed to do
something to help him succeed. The brotherhood back then was not enough to save his life. Therefore,
Samuel could understand the changes in Morty.
"Then continue."
Hearing Samuel's words, Morty felt somewhat bitter.
Morty realized that he would never be able to return to the past.
Morty took a deep breath and said, "The Hills were afraid that Auntie would commit suicide, so they
sent people to put her under house arrest. At the same time, they sent people to discuss my aunt's
marriage to the Neo family. In the discussion, they tried their best to get benefits from the Neos.
Perhaps the Neos were satisfied with my Auntie at the beginning, but the Hill family was in a difficult
situation at that time, and they had asked too much from the Neos. As a result, the Neos were quite
unhappy about that. In the end, although the wedding date was set, it was delayed again and again.
Later, Auntie was found pregnant."
"A lady was pregnant before marriage. This was a huge scandal at that time. In order to protect the
reputation of their family, the Hills secretly sent people to force Auntie to have an abortion. At that time,
Auntie almost went crazy. Fortunately, my mother gave birth to me, but my mother also passed away
because of dystocia."
"Auntie just lost her child and I lost my mother. She raised me as her own. The Neos helped the Hill
family through the difficulties, but my aunt's marriage was postponed indefinitely. The Hills also acted
as if this marriage had never existed. This is my aunt's tragic marriage."
"When I was five years old, that Neo who took my aunt's virginity married another woman. This means
that my aunt was given up. The Neos abandoned my aunt. So did the Hills. No one cared about her. No
one cared about what she felt. They even thought that my aunt raising me is for the best of everyone.
After all, my aunt is a Hill, and I am the first heir of the Hill family. But that year, my aunt learned about
the news about William."
"I remember that day, my aunt was dressed beautifully. She touched my head and told me that she was
going to find her own happiness, to find the man she loved. She told me that when she got married,
she would bring William back and watch me grow up. But after that, I have never heard the news about
my aunt."
At this point, Morty was very sad.
He whispered, "I thought my aunt has found her own happiness. I thought she didn't come back to see
me because she had to stay away from the Hills. Later, when I grew up, I found out some things. Only
then did I realize that my aunt almost died. And the person who made this happen was Lindo, the
person whom my aunt lost her virginity to. He robbed my aunt of her innocence, but he did not marry
her and did not want my aunt to find her own happiness. When he learned that my aunt had found
William, he used his power to fake an order and launch an operation, which devastated the whole town
my aunt stayed. He made up an excuse, saying that the town was suffering from a plague that was out
of control. He said that an emergent action needed to be taken."
Morty's such words instantly angered Samuel.
"What did you say?"
Samuel had thought about the reasons for the extermination of the Harper Town. But he never thought
that the disaster was aroused by relationship issues.
Lindo should die!
"What position does this person have now? Where is he?"
All the schemes and plots that had taken place around Samuel and Nicole had started with the
extermination of the Harper Town. And the one to blame was Lindo!
Out of selfish motives, Lindo created such a big injustice. Three generations of people were involved.
Samuel vowed to make Lindo pay the price.
Morty whispered, "Lindo is very cunning. He knew this was a big issue and that he could conceal it for
a lifetime. So, after it was done, he applied for retirement and moved to a foreign country with his entire
family."
"Bastard!"
Samuel gritted his teeth angrily. It was hard for him to believe that Lindo's jealousy was why the Harper
Town was destroyed.
"Was the town your aunt and William stayed the Harper Town?"
Even if he had guessed the fact, Samuel still wanted to confirm it.
Morty nodded and said, "Yes. Because the Harper Town has a tradition of raising bugs. Lindo took
advantage of this. Such mysterious bugs rarely appeared in the sight of the world. People tend to avoid
the unknown. And they will easily be panicked when facing things hard to understand. All this made the
Harper Town more mysterious. Moreover, in the Harper Town, the method of raising bugs was passed
down from generation to generation. Outsiders did not know how this works. So Lindo started the
rumor that the bugs they raised had spread the plague. And people in that town had gone crazy.
Moreover, he said the plague was out of control and it would endanger the surrounding towns and even
the entire region in no time. People believed what he said was no exaggeration. Therefore, with that
fake order, the Harper Town was annihilated very quickly. Luckily, William and my aunt had left the town
when Lindo took actions. At that time, soldiers participating in the operation included Dons, Shaws,
Cawkers and Neos. Lindo is indeed good at calculation. Even though his higher-ups would find that he
faked the order, they would not give him severe punishments because the four great families were
involved. All this made the success of the operation."
"What a jerk!"
Samuel punched the stone beside him angrily. Blood oozed from the back of his hand, but the physical
pain was nothing compared to the pain in his heart.
People of the Harper Town were innocent!
They died just because Morty's aunt and William were in their town!
And what did Morty's aunt and William do wrong?
The images aroused by Memory Bug appeared in Samuel's mind again.
The old, the weak, women and children cried out for help in despair. And all of them died in the
shooting.
Those souls were shouting and crying in Samuel's mind. And that irritated Samuel.
He wanted to kill!
He wanted to kill that bastard Lindo!
But now, the only thing he could do was to control himself.
Morty knew what would happen if Samuel knew about this, but he wanted to let him know.
It had been so many years since that incident, but his aunt still hadn't returned. In recent years, the
Hills discovered this matter and began to secretly investigate.
After Zama's incident, the Greens asked for help from Morty. That was when the Hills knew that it was
impossible to conceal this matter.
But now Lindo's whereabouts were nowhere to be found. And Lindo had emigrated. There were many
things that Morty could not verify. Lindo only found the paper order from back then, but because it was
not archived, it was of little value. Now, soldiers of the four great families who had participated in that
operation were now the pillars of their families. However, they still didn't know the truth. They did not
know that Lindo's personal grudge made the mission back then. They thought it was a real operation.
The Hills didn't know how to explain these matters to the four great families. They wanted to conceal
their mistakes. After all, it had been so many years. But the descendants of the Harper Town were
doing everything in order to take revenge. They had tried all sorts of ways and become a pain in the
ass.
What Morty wanted was simple: the person who did the wrong thing back then paid the price.
The Harper Town had been exterminated for no reason. And they owed the Harper Town justice in this
matter.
Samuel was a descendant of the Harper Town.
No matter what Zama had done. This could not be changed. And now, the Golden Bug, which
symbolized the identity of the head of the Harper Town was in Samuel's body. Eventually, Samuel
would know about this matter.
Instead of waiting for Samuel to find it out himself, Morty felt that it was better to tell Samuel
immediately. At least, they wouldn't be enemies this way.
"Samuel, I know how you feel now. I know my apology can't change anything. I tell you this because I
want you to know the truth. I want to find my aunt and William. The information I have now is that
William is still alive, but I heard that living is hell for him. And I don't know where he is now. Some said
that he was in Country F. Some said that he was near the Harper Town. If I can find William, I can find
my aunt. I want my aunt to go home. After all, she is like my mother to me."
Samuel needed some time to think about Morty's words.
"I can't give you an answer now. I need to be alone."
"I understand. Take your time. Come to me if you make your decision."
Samuel nodded.
"By the way, the Golden Bug in your body will do you no harm. After learning about the Harper Town, I
checked some ancient books. The Golden Bug is a kind of bug that will pass down from generation to
generation. As the king of all the bugs, it will exist in the body of the head of the Harper Town. To
ordinary people, it might be harmful, and it might even result in death. However, to the successor of the
head, because of his bloodline, the Golden Bug will be beneficial to his health. Golden Bug exists to
protect the head of the Harper Town. However, you just come into contact with it and have yet to
coexist with its consciousness. That is why you will have some irritable emotions once in a while. After
some time, everything will be fine."
Morty told Samuel about the Golden Bug. But right now, Samuel was not hearing him. His mind was
filled with scenes of innocent people dying miserably. Like an unending movie, these things were
playing in his mind over and over again...
Samuel needed some time to think about Morty's words.
"| can't give you an answer now. | need to be alone."
"| understand. Take your time. Come to me if you make your decision."
Samuel nodded.
