Newt's story (part one)
"Really? Ebson Louis really said that? That's both surprising and reasonable." Willy Tybur bent over, his hands clasped on his knees, his blond hair falling naturally, obscuring his eyes and making it impossible to see his expression.
Beside Willy sat an Officer in military uniform, none other than Dio Magath, the commander of the Marley Warrior Unit Dio Magath Magath, who had been all serious, was utterly shocked upon hearing the news from the man before him.
Willy collected his thoughts, then looked up at the person in front of him and asked, "I'm surprised, Mr. Newt, but why did you tell us all this? Logically, you also possess the Titan Power created by Ebson, so why did you choose to help our Marley?"
Indeed, sitting in front of Willy and Tybur was Newt, the Red Fire Titan. Usually quiet and with a low profile, he was always gloomy. But now, in front of Willy, he revealed everything about Ebson's plan to cause trouble during the Marley Joint Conference.
Willie was quite surprised by Newt's actions, because he couldn't understand why Newt would betray Ebson and tell them about Ebson's plans. Previously, Newt had broken into the Daba family's manor alone, and at that time Newt warned Willie that Ebson was contacting several artificial giants with unclear intentions.
However, Willy, who had already put Ebson on his danger list, didn't take Newt's words to heart and informed Magath to bring Newt back.
But unexpectedly, such a big change occurred in just a few days. Ebson wanted to interfere in the Joint Conference, which was something Willy had not anticipated. The Joint Conference he was preparing was not for Ebson, but for other guests, guests from Overseas. However, Ebson's interference would obviously disrupt this carefully planned event.
Newt took a deep breath, raised his head, his brown eyes bloodshot, and said bitterly, "Mr. Tybur, you don't believe me? Do you know my story? Of course, how could Nobility like you care about the lives of us Eldians? We are the same race, but our lives are as different as heaven and hell."
Magath, standing to the side, remained silent. He glanced subtly at Willy Tybur family was also Eldians, a fact known to all nations. While other races, including the Marley, deeply resented Eldians and wished for Eldians extinction, they held the Tybur family in high regard. Many Nobility from other countries were even on friendly terms with the Tybur family. And the Marley, Eldians the most, were actually controlled by the Tybur family, who were themselves Eldians.
Why are the Tybur family so different from other Eldians are all Eldians?
Ultimately, what the world's nations despise is not the Eldians, but the terrifying Titan Power the Eldians within them. Human nature contains a trace of selfishness, which makes most people fear, dread, and even resent creatures with greater power, especially those they cannot control.
Moreover, the Eldia Empire once dominated the world for nearly a thousand years with the Titan Power, and the seeds of hatred had long been sown in their hearts.
But why don't they reject the Tybur family? As mentioned earlier, humans resent creatures that are stronger and more uncontrollable than themselves. Naturally, nations around the world are happy to see and welcome people like the Tybur family who are willing to align themselves with them and even help them oppress and control their fellow Eldia.
As Newt rambles on, Newt story slowly unfolds.
Newt was no different from the other Eldians living in the Liberio Internment Zone. If there was anything special about him, it was that Newt's physical condition was much worse than that of his peers, even worse than some girls. However, Newt was lucky because he had Anna, his childhood sweetheart who had grown up with him.
When Newt was bullied by other children as a child, Anna would always stand up for him. Newt could only confide in Anna when he was happy or sad. Apart from Newt's parents, Anna was probably the only person in the world who cared about Newt the most. Naturally, when they grew up, Newt fell in love with Anna, and Anna loved Newt in return. The two got together without any surprises.
Anna wasn't very beautiful. In many people's eyes, Anna's appearance was actually quite ordinary, and she was even a bit plump, forming a stark contrast with Newt, who was as thin as a bamboo pole. However, this did not affect Anna and Newt's relationship. In Newt's heart, Anna was the most beautiful angel he had ever met in his life.
Newt's biggest dream back then was to open a Candy Store with Anna, a store they had always admired as children, and have a lovely child. That would have been enough for Newt.
However, Fate is cruel. As Newt grew older, Newt health deteriorated, and his already thin body became even more frail. To take care of Newt, Anna Anna, who was already busy, became even busier, working part-time for almost 20 hours a day to earn money for her husband's health.
The medicine Newt needed was already expensive, and the unscrupulous merchants were selling the same medicine to the Eldians for several times the price they were selling to the Marleyan.
But Anna persevered silently for Newt's sake.
Until one day, Anna let go of her needle and thread, closed her eyes, and fainted in front of Newt.
Upon witnessing this, Newt scrambled from the kitchen towards Anna, trembling as he embraced Anna and called her name, but Anna did not respond.
Too weak to even move Anna, Newt, in despair and confusion, Newt to run out of the house, calling for help.
With the help of neighbors, Anna was taken to the clinic, but the doctor there gave Newt devastating news: Anna was ill, and very seriously ill; she had a terrible tumor that had spread, and her time was running out. The doctor sighed and advised Newt to prepare for the worst.
Upon hearing the doctor's words, Newt felt as if he had lost his soul, and a dizzying sensation enveloped him.
Anna, Anna is sick? How could that be? She's always been so healthy since she was little. How could she have such a serious illness?
However, Newt quickly thought of himself—it was all for taking care of him! Anna was so exhausted because of him; it must have been those demanding jobs that wore down Anna's health.
Overwhelmed with despair and self-blame, Newt burst into tears outside the clinic. Just before Newt succumbed to utter despair, a glimmer of hope appeared.
