Chapter 733 Trying to Run

Thinking of the Rothschild family, Marcus Crawley frowned a little. That family is rotten to the core. If they aren’t wiped out in time, they’ll be trouble forever. “They’re not one of us, and their hearts are never with us. If I get the chance, I’ll wipe that family out,” Marcus said evenly. “Good, well said! With you thinking like that, Mandoria won’t fall,” the King praised. Marcus just smiled, saying nothing. “A man should be like you. If you ever run into real trouble, come straight to me,” the King said after a pause. “Thanks,” Marcus replied.

After that, Marcus left the Presidential Palace. He took a coach back to Riverton. The whole ride, he sat with his eyes closed, meditating. As he sank into silence, his mind slipped back into the graveyard again. “Senior, are you still there?” he asked the first tombstone. He asked several times. No response. After a moment, a faint voice rose from the graves: “Kid, you finally came back to see me. What do you want to say?” “Senior, I’m here to thank you,” Marcus said. He knew that without the senior’s help this time, he would’ve died under Aurelius Crawley’s men. “Skip the pleasantries. The Crawleys are all hypocrites. That bad habit’s baked in for generations,” the man said. “Senior, once I get to the Land of Eternal Night, I’ll come see you,” Marcus said, voice low. “Kid, it’s enough that you mean it.” With that, the senior fell silent.
