“Why should I care about work at a time like this? What’s more, I now understand that work can never be done. It’s more important to deal with your matters first.”
Marina’s tone was firm.
Simon did not refuse her again. They went to see Carter together.
Carter was waiting for them in the villa.
When he saw Simon and Marina coming over together, he could not help but smile.
Then, he handed a box to Marina.
“Mrs. Hernandez, I heard that you two have held a wedding. I’m sorry. I can not come and attend it. This is my wedding gift to you and Mr. Hernandez. 1 hope you like it.”
Carter’s expression was particularly gentle.
He looked at Marina with more respect than before.
“Thank you” Marina did not expect Carter, a foreigner, to know the etiquette so well.
She accepted his gift gratefully.
Carter’s smile slowly faded after giving Marina the gift.
Then, he became serious.
Marina knew that Carter was going to get down to business.
Then, the three of them sat on the sofa aside.
“What have you found out?” Simon was the first to ask.
“My master’s death was indeed not an accident.” Carter handed Simon the results of his investigation.
Simon did not look too surprised when he heard Carter’s words.
Because he had known about the matter.
“Then do you know what caused it?” Simon asked in a deep voice..
“Mr. Hernandez, are you sure you want to hear it?” asked Carter, who didn’t immediately answer Simon’s question.
Instead, he looked at Simon solemnly.
Carter’s words made Simon’s expression change.
“What do you mean by that?” asked Simon.
“Because everything I’ve investigated is the truth. It might affect your current life if I tell you everything,” said Carter.
Carter gave Simon two options. “Actually, we can also avenge my master and can do it flawlessly.”
“I want to know the truth!” Simon replied straightforwardly.
“Are you sure?” asked Carter.
Simon said, “Tve been investigating it for so long because I want to know the result. Now that the result is in front of me, how can I evade it?
“Whatever it is, you just have to tell me,” said Simon, enunciating each word.
Upon hearing Simons’s words, Marina held his hand.
She seemed to want to tell him in such a manner.
She would be with him no matter what happened next.
Carter agreed firmly, saying, “Okay. Mr. Hernandez, I’ll tell you everything since this is your choice.”
“Before I tell you why my master died, I have to tell you something about the past.”
Carter’s eyes grew distant as he spoke.
It was as if he was recalling something from a long time ago.
“Your mother’s original name was Seyah. She was the most generous woman I’ve ever seen in my life.
“She had a kind heart and loved everyone. She’s the most beloved princess in our entire country. “A princess?” Marina was surprised when she heard the title.
Chapter 470
Yes. She was a princess,” Carter said, enunciating each word.
“I know the world has been searching for the Akister Treasure. They think that it is just a person’s treasure.
“But how could a person gather so many treasures with his own power?
“In fact, these are all the strength and wealth left by a country,” Carter said slowly.
Marina nodded in understanding when she heard Carter’s words.
She felt strange about it before.
How could a person’s strength condense so much wealth?
Even the Bailey family had worked hard for generations to accumulate this much wealth.
Therefore, Marina always thought the Akister Treasure was just a rumor before.
But it all seemed very credible if Carter was telling the truth now.
Carter continued, “We were a small country and had never been on the other side of the ocean.
“Many people actually didn’t know our country. Although our land area was small, there were abundant minerals underground.
“We also relied on the resource to accumulate a large amount of wealth.
“However, the more things one has, the greater one’s sins will be when one becomes weak.
“Many people wanted to take our country as their own, so they could freely exploit the minerals beneath our land.”
“It was the most critical time for our country when Princess Seyah was born.
“We had just repelled a wave of enemies on the day she was born. Therefore, we all thought she would bring new hope to our
country.
“And the king also designated her as the successor of the next monarch.”
“Perhaps Heaven had heard the thoughts of the people. Ever since Princess Seyah was born, we could turn misfortune into good luck no matter how difficult it was when our country encountered enemies. every time.
“Princess Seyah’s outstanding talents were gradually discovered as she grew up.
“She thought that we wouldn’t be able to resolve the predicament in our country if we resisted simply.
“The most important thing was to counterattack. We had to have the power to defend ourselves and counterattack. Only then can those enemies didn’t dare to covet our things.
“Therefore, Princess Seyah went to different countries to secretly learn. Then, she returned to the country and formed the Tiger Team.
“Princess Seyah didn’t care about money because the wealth in our country is relatively rich. As long as people had the ability, she was willing to spend a lot of money to recruit them under her command at all costs.
“Moreover, she gave them 100 percent respect and even promised to let them go without any conditions if they wanted to leave her one day.
“I wasn’t originally from this country. Princess Seyah saved me, and I had nowhere to go, so I became the Captain of the Tiger Team.
“At first, many people thought there was no need for Princess Seyah to go through so much trouble.
“However, the facts show that only when one has enough strength can one protect oneself and the people one wants to protect.
“The Tiger Team was getting stronger day by day. The foreign invaders started to fear our strength.
“It finally talmed down after hundreds of years of war.
“I thought this kind of life would continue, but I didn’t expect us to win against the invaders but lost to the traitors at home.” Carter’s expression became especially resentful and painful as he spoke.
