The Dust-Sealed Truth
"..."
As Hody Jones finished speaking, everyone instinctively held their breath.
What was the truth back then?
That's just...
Even though everyone understood that Hody Jones had become a demon, they still couldn't help but look at him when they heard him say those words.
After all, it brings up the incident of Queen Otohime's murder back then.
Even though most Fish-Men are not very clear about the specific details, they can actually find many suspicious points if they think about it carefully.
Could it be...?
Is it related to Hody Jones in front of us?
The Fish-Men began to speculate amongst themselves, while Neptune's expression instantly turned extremely ugly.
"..."
Shirahoshi remained silent on this.
Lin Yan, unusually, did not attempt to stop him. She simply looked calmly at Hody Jones, lost in thought.
Seeing that no one was stopping him.
Hody Jones nodded with great satisfaction.
The ferocious smile on his face remained undiminished.
"Just as everyone knows, Queen Otohime was assassinated by humans! Those despicable and shameless humans killed our noble queen!"
Hody Jones laughed with a hint of arrogance.
Upon hearing this, the Fish-Men felt a deep sense of sympathy, as many on Fish-Man Island were aware of this matter.
It is precisely for this reason, and after the queen's death, that Fish-Man Island has remained closed to this day.
Everyone is confused.
A fleeting glimpse of a beautiful vision because of the existence of that princess.
Will her death completely sever this connection?
Upon hearing Hody Jones bring up the old story again, many Fish-Men showed expressions of sadness and reminiscence.
However, the next second, Hody Jones changed the subject.
"But in the end Queen Otohime was not killed by a human."
"..."
Upon hearing this, everyone's expression changed to one of surprise once again.
Was it not killed by humans?
What's the meaning?
Could there be more to the story than meets the eye back then?
Seemingly pleased with the astonished looks on everyone's faces, Hody Jones laughed a few more times before finally revealing the truth of what happened back then.
"I, Hody Jones, was the one who made the final move!"
"Varied?!"
"There's nothing we can do about it. We're Fish-Men, yet we have to live in peace with humans. Even if they're our own kind, it's unforgivable! How long are you going to keep being deceived by this so-called kindness?"
Hody Jones stared coldly at everyone.
"We Fish-Men are the most superior race!" (33novel. com)
"Peaceful coexistence with humans is simply absurd!"
"Have you forgotten how our compatriots were tortured by humans back then?"
"You really intend to coexist peacefully with those inferior beings?!"
Hody Jones spoke slowly and deliberately.
His tone was filled with an almost insane hatred for humanity.
From a young age, Hody Jones constantly witnessed Fish-Men being tortured by humans, living in the darkest backstreets of Fish-Man Island.
Such a scene was all too common for Hody Jones.
Therefore, he could never forgive Queen Otohime for having the idea of peaceful coexistence with humans.
Hody Jones's almost indescribable hatred for humanity had twisted him into a demon.
There is absolutely no sunlight that can save us.
And there are actually many Fish-Men like him.
Living a restless life, fueled by hatred for humanity.
Each and every one of them is a specter of vengeance.
"..."
Seemingly stunned by the insane hatred in Hody Jones's tone, everyone was dumbfounded after learning the shocking truth from back then.
Queen Otohime actually...
And putting that aside, in some places, Hody Jones was telling the truth.
Scenes of Fish-Men being tortured by humans are all too common.
Upon reflection, a significant number of the Fish-Men began to waver, their faces showing hesitation.
Lin Yan watched all of this with indifference.
As mentioned before.
Extreme good and extreme evil are rare; what exists most in this world is the wavering majority.
As twisted as Hody Jones is, there's no need to elaborate.
And naturally, there are also those like Queen Otohime, who are like sunshine.
"Hody Jones!!!"
When anger accumulates to a certain point, it will inevitably explode.
After learning the truth about what happened back then from Hody Jones, Fisher Tiger finally couldn't contain his raging anger and roared out loud.
"What have you been doing?!"
Fisher Tiger rarely looked at someone with such murderous intent.
It's clear he was completely enraged.
However, upon seeing this, Hody Jones let out a sinister laugh.
"Hate?... Yes, hate me! The chains of hatred will never be broken, they will only give rise to greater hatred. Brother Fisher Tiger, don't you understand? As long as this kind of thing continues to happen, we can never live in peace with humanity!"
As he spoke, Hody Jones paused slightly.
Ignoring Fisher Tiger's furious expression, he chuckled and looked at Shirahoshi.
"What will Princess Shirahoshi think after learning the truth?"
"..."
Upon hearing this, Fisher Tiger's expression immediately changed to one of surprise.
That's right, that's the most important thing!
Queen Otohime is Princess Shirahoshi's mother!
How could there possibly be a daughter in this world who is completely indifferent to her mother's death? Moreover, Fisher Tiger knows very well how important Queen Otohime's existence is to Shirahoshi.
Considering Shirahoshi's identity as the Sea King.
Even Fisher Tiger couldn't help but feel a chill run down his spine, and he looked at Princess Shirahoshi with extreme concern.
Hody Jones is Princess Shirahoshi's enemy!
If we were to start a ruckus here without any regard for consequences...
For a moment, Fisher Tiger was filled with worry.
Even at this moment, Lin Yan's expression remained unchanged.
Apart from him, no one else noticed Shirahoshi's current expression.
Although there was sadness, there was not a trace of hysterical anger. The girl looked at Hody Jones with a complicated gaze, but more than anything, she was calm.
"Why..."
Seeing Shirahoshi like this, even Lin Yan couldn't help but sigh softly.
Perhaps among everyone present.
Only he knew.
What decision will this timid and easily crying girl make next?
In fact, Ye Feng had been holding back his actions, waiting for Shirahoshi's decision.
Then, as Hody Jones's expression gradually hardened, Shirahoshi suddenly sniffed, trying hard not to let her tears fall.
But he spoke to Hody Jones with utmost seriousness.
"I already knew about this."
