Samuel did not know how he hung up the phone. He had even forgotten that Nicole was waiting for him
in the café. He stood alone on the street. He could hardly see people around.
All he could see and think was the slaughter.
That inhumane slaughter.
He thought that there were conspiracy and scheme that destroyed the Harper Town. He never thought
that it was because of a jealous man and his plan to kill Mr. Morty's auntie and William.
'Lindo!'
'Damn you!'
'You should go to hell!'
Samuel's eyes turned golden again, and even his blood was boiling.
Because of the Memory Bug, he could clearly feel the despair and sorrow of the clansmen at that time.
Harper Town was such a beautiful town, but the people there were all killed in that slaughter.
Samuel suddenly conjured up a scene.
A familiar woman was lying in the arms of a man in the cave. It seemed that they had just had sex, and
they were emotionally unstable. Beside them was a one-month-year-old child.
The woman looked at the man and said sadly, "Aaron, I gave a birth to your son behind my clansmen's
back. He is our son. His eyebrows look like mine!"
The man hugged the woman and anxiously said, "Follow me. You are my wife. Our son can't lose his
mother. Go with me, please."
"Aaron, I'm my father's only child, and I'm the young master of the town. People in our town can't marry
outsiders, so we can't be together."
The woman cried. She was helpless but decisive.
She had her duty. She could not leave the town because of love.
"Aaron, you know, our town is hereditary. The Golden Bug only recognizes the blood of the Harpers. I
have my responsibilities, and I can't leave my town."
"Then I'll stay. Our son and I will stay with you. Even if I can't marry you, I'll be with you forever. I love
you. I can give up everything for you."
Aaron hugged the woman tightly.
The woman cried and said, "Aaron, leave here with our son. Find a place where no one knows you and
bring up our son. Don't teach him to raise bugs, don't let him know about the Harper Town and me. He
is our son and a symbol of our love. He should have his own life and choose his own path. His destiny
should not be decided by others because of his identity. Only by leaving the Harpers Village could he
have many choices and live a colorful life. I'm with you as long as he lives a happy life. Remember, let
him see the mountains and seas that I have never seen, and let him live a free life that I have never
experienced. If you love me, please promise me."
"How can you be so cruel to me?"
Aaron sadly roared, waking up the child beside him.
The baby cried loudly.
The woman immediately hugged and comforted him.
Her gaze was so gentle that it made people envious.
The sound of fighting came from outside, and the woman suddenly paused. She subconsciously put on
her clothes and wanted to leave, but was stopped by Aaron.
"Where are you going? We are family. Go with me! Don't worry about the town. Can't you just live like a
normal woman?"
"Aaron, let me go. I was born and raised here. The clansmen have respected and protected me. They
gave me the best things they had. I am their young master. The town must be in danger now. I must go
out and have a look. My father is still at home."
As the woman spoke, she ran out, but Aaron knocked her out.
He said in pain, "I don't care about those people. I don't want to see you die. Honey, don't blame me.
As long as the Harper town is here, our son and I can't have the whole you. I love you so much. I just
want you and a family. How could our son and I be happy without you? I'm sorry, I told them the route
to enter the town. I also know their plan, so it's impossible for me to let you out. When it's all over, we'll
leave here and live our own lives. What I owe you today, I will pay you back with my love. Don't blame
me, okay?"
People were shouting and killed outside. Alice would never come.
There was blood everywhere.
They were glad that their young master was not here and that there was one member of the Harpers
alive.
The believed their young master would seek justice for them.
Then, the woman woke up and knew everything.
Looking at the corpses of her clansmen and their blood all over the ground, the woman was outraged.
"Aaron, how can you do this?"
This was the first time she held a sword to Aaron.
She was not gentle anymore, instead, she was cold and angry.
"Darling, listen to me."
"Stop, Aaron. I love you, but you let me see my evil side. My clansmen were died because of our love. I
am an asshole now. Didn't you think about our future? They shouldn't be sacrifices of our love. Aaron,
we're over."
The woman cried. She was despair and determined, which panicked Aaron.
"No, it's not over. Our life just begins. As long as the Harper Town disappears, you will be an ordinary
girl. You can see mountains, rivers, and seas with me and our son. You can go wherever you want. Isn't
that what you've always dreamed of?"
"Yes, but it costs too much. Aaron, I am a sinner of the Harper Town. I have blood feud. I can't be with
you anymore, and I don't dream of a sweet life with you and our son. Take your son and leave here
now. I break off with you and I won't see you again. Don't force me. Otherwise, I'll die in front of you
with my clansmen."
She was weak, but determined.
Aaron was stunned, but he didn't dare to force her. He just wanted to persuade her the next day when
she was better, but when he woke up the next morning, she was gone. Aaron had searched
everywhere but he hadn't found her.
The scene ended here.
Samuel staggered and almost fell, but he was supported by someone.
"Are you alright?"
He heard Nicole's familiar voice.
Samuel turned around slowly. The golden color in his eyes had disappeared, and he cried
unconsciously.
"I just saw what happened between Zama and Aaron. She loved a man so much, and even treated
their child so gently. She was like other ordinary women, wanting to be happy. But..."
Before Samuel finished his words, he felt hurt.
This was the memory of the previous Patriarch. It was also the deepest memory of Zama. Because of
the Golden Bug, Samuel could feel it completely.
He could feel her despair, her happiness of lying in Aaron's arms, and even her tenderness when she
touched the child.
When she was betrayed by her lover at the end, she was so despair. It was like a thousand arrows
penetrating his heart, which greatly depressed and hurt him.
"Samuel, Samuel, how are you? You don't look well. Shall we go home?"
Nicole was frightened.
Samuel was different. His sad vibe depressed her.
Nicole didn't know what Samuel had experienced, but at this moment, she would rather Samuel didn't
think about anything and didn't look at anything.
Samuel suddenly hugged Nicole tightly.
Samuel said tremblingly. "Nicole, I'm jealous, I'm jealous of Jarrod. I'm jealous that Zama was so gentle
to him. Do you know? Zama didn't even want Jarrod to know that he was the Harpers. She wanted him
to live his own life. Why? I'm also her son, so why did she love Jarrod but scheme against me? Am I
not her son? Why did she love him but hate me? She even wanted me to revenge for the Harper Town.
Why?"
Nicole hadn't seen Samuel so sad for a long time.
She hugged him tightly and whispered, "Samuel, you have me and the kids. We will love you forever."
"It's different, Nicole. If I hadn't known she was so gentle to Jarrod, perhaps I would have comforted
myself that she was born cold-blooded. But I knew it. I saw her deepest memories. I was so sad to see
how well she treated Jarrod."
Samuel was like a wronged child, which upset Nicole.
She wanted to comfort Samuel, but she didn't know what to say. The Memory Bug gave Samuel too
many memories that did not belong to him. If he had a choice, Nicole would rather he didn't have this
Memory Bug, so he wouldn't be hurt.
Suddenly, Samuel stiffened and slid straight down.
