Memories of the Past
Old Jeff is gone, leaving with a face full of pain and shame. He came with such passion, and he left in such a sorry state.
Tens of thousands of Eldians witnessed what had just happened. Every gunshot fired by the Marleyan was like a thunderclap, shaking every Eldians to their core.
Although the Armband on their shoulders were visible through their clothing, many Eldians felt that the Armband brought them not glory or peace, but a deep sense of shame.
After the Eldians dispersed, many tattered fragments of Armband lay scattered on the ground. Yago looked at his departing compatriots and could only hope that their hearts, accustomed to being slaves, could rise again.
After dealing with this thorny matter, Yago gave some more instructions and then hurriedly ran away. If he delayed any longer, Yago was certain that Annie's light blue eyes would spit fire and burn him to death.
As the commotion within the Liberio Internment Zone subsided, the capital city Marley Capital gradually quieted down as civilians huddled in their homes, cautiously peering out of their windows.
But overall, there was still peace. However, while the Marley Capital was calm, the whole world seemed to be in an uproar.
The world was abuzz with news of everything that was happening in Marley Capital: the battle of the Titan, Eldia, Paradis Island. Thanks to the power of technology, this information spread rapidly throughout the world. Governments around the world held their highest-level meetings almost simultaneously, frantically discussing the Paradis Island people who had suddenly appeared in Marley Capital.
Similarly, rumors about Malebsen creating artificial giant warriors spread like wildfire, attracting the attention of many interested parties. Privately, various countries sent people to search for Ebsen's whereabouts, and the purpose of their search was self-evident.
The Far East is a world of ice and snow. Due to its unique geographical location, this continent experiences a bitterly cold winter for almost half the year.
The land is barren and resources are difficult to extract, which has led to a sparsely populated Far East region. The few countries there are almost invisible in the world. In order to stick together and help each other, these countries reached an agreement and formed an alliance.
However, the master of this Far East Alliance may have undergone some minor changes.
Inside a secluded factory in the Far East, Ebson, dressed in a thick fur coat, watched with icy eyes as the liquid in a small test tube in front of him gradually solidified.
His suspicions were confirmed, and he felt relieved; the child was indeed the key. But how could this be? Logically, he, having undergone a blood transfusion, should be the key! Could it be!?
Ebson suddenly seemed to realize something, but he couldn't quite believe that such a coincidence could happen; the probability of it occurring was almost impossible!
But Ebson still called Bill over, just to confirm one of his conjectures.
Bill wrinkled his nose; the frigid environment of the Far East made him very uncomfortable. Outside, his cigarette would freeze out after only a few puffs. "Master, is there anything I can do for you?"
Ebson stroked the instrument before him and asked calmly, "Eighteen years ago, I gave you a baby, remember? I asked you to dispose of him. Did you complete your mission?"
Bill frowned, and distant memories began to surface in his mind.
It was a night of torrential rain. Bill vaguely remembered that Ebson was soaked to the bone and looked more flustered than ever before. He handed Bill a newborn baby boy in his arms and said that the child was the son of Earl Nathan.
Bill knew that Earl Nathan was the Louis Family's mortal enemy; the two families were sworn enemies and rivals. However, the Nathan family had almost always had only one son per generation, and it was common knowledge that Earl Nathan of this generation did not have a child until he was fifty.
Bill was aware of the shady dealings within the Marley Nobility, so he wasn't surprised by Ebson's actions. He promised Ebson that he would get rid of the child.
Bill, turning to leave, didn't notice the strange glint in Ebson's eyes. To get rid of the child, Bill carried him to a corner of the Eldians Liberio Internment Zone.
Bill could easily let go and the child would fall to his death, but the baby's cries made Bill hesitate. He thought of his Younger Sister was also pregnant and would give birth to a lovely nephew or niece in the next few days, barring any unforeseen circumstances.
Although his Younger Sister had fallen in love with a Marleyan, Bill believed Younger Sister would be happy; he believed in the Marleyan.
Perhaps it was this casual thought that made Bill reluctant to kill the child, but he had sworn to be loyal to the Louis Family. Torn between these thoughts, Bill abandoned the child on a trash can in a corner.
In this cold wind, an infant wrapped only in a single layer of cloth would certainly not survive. Bill left the Liberio Internment Zone just like that. In Alley that Bill hadn't noticed, an old man from Eldia, dressed in tattered clothes, was rummaging through a trash can.
At the end of the meeting, Bill replied confidently, "I've taken care of that child; there's absolutely no problem."
Ebson: "Really?"
"Doctor! Tybur from Marley is not dead! Please let me avenge him!" Litt's sudden intrusion interrupted Ebson and Bill's conversation Willy Tybur had actually managed to escape from the Marley Capital, Litt's anger was immediately uncontrollable.
Ebson glanced at Litt, turned around, and said indifferently, "Tybur? He's just a clown to us now. We have more important things to do. Bill, find a suitable candidate as soon as possible. Newt is dead, and the Red Fire Titan needs someone to succeed him quickly."
Bill: "Yes, Master." With that, Bill turned and left.
Not getting the answer he wanted, Litt clenched his fists, his teeth grinding together, but after standing there for a long time, Litt finally chose to leave.
After Litt left, Ebson turned his attention back to the Skywing Titan. If Litt was too ungrateful, Ebson wouldn't mind finding a different host for the Winged Titan.
After some thought, Ebson picked up a new test tube, because what he considered a greater and more complete plan had emerged.
The anger on Litt's face hadn't subsided as he walked out of the factory. Sizzle! He slashed his palm, and streaks of Golden Thunder instantly enveloped his entire body, the steam condensing into icy mist as soon as it appeared.
The Winged Titan flapped its wings and soared straight into the sky.
Bill's expression darkened. He spat out the cigarette that had been extinguished by the Winged Titan's wings and cursed under his breath, "You little bastard."
While other countries around the world are in turmoil, undercurrents are also swirling on Paradis Island.
