Chapter 1 Ash Dome(2/2)

'Environmentally friendly package' - that is, scattering the ashes directly into the sea."

It's not exactly acting.

That was genuine sadness, something that actually happened.

It's just that Russell is not actually that helpless - he is much stronger than the child described in his words.

After all, if he wasn't strong enough, he wouldn't have been able to finish college in the environment like Sogo Island.

But since he was a child, he has been accustomed to properly "selling out". In other words, showing his scars and shortcomings to an appropriate degree, and trying to eliminate the hostility of others without being looked down upon.

It's like a stray cat pretending to be well-behaved and nuzzling passers-by to get food.

Oddly enough... perhaps because he was concentrating on the performance, or perhaps because the other party had let go of some evil intentions towards him, Russell felt that the tension that filled the air gradually dissipated.

Perhaps, I am not entirely trying to gain the other party's trust.

Russell thought.

Although it is just a social means for self-protection.

But talking about these things did make him feel better.

"Listen to me," the voice of the young man opposite became a little deeper, "When you find that man, remember to give him a shot. If you abandon your wife and son, you should teach him a lesson."

"Forget it."

Russell shook his head: "I don't want to go find him."

"Even if he makes your life so difficult?"

"He is indeed a bastard. But I cannot become a bastard like him."

Russell said softly: "My mother said that I will become a great person."

——This is the truth.

Mother did say so, and Russell thought so from the bottom of his heart.

"…What is considered a 'great big shot'?"

"It can make people admire... from the bottom of their hearts, right?"

Russell was silent for a moment and said uncertainly: "At least it can't be hated."

Hearing this, a young man with long white hair fell silent for a while.

"That's too difficult."

The young man said softly: "It's even harder than becoming a director of the 'head office'."

After that, he gave up the topic and once again showed his unprofessional smile that could only make people shudder: "In that case, how can you afford a first-class empty boat ticket?"

"Before she died, my mother told me... that I had an uncle in Happy Island."

One corner of Russell's mouth raised slightly, and his tone was calm: "An uncle I have never seen or heard of. My mother asked me to move to Happy Island... This first-class ticket was also bought for me by my uncle.

.Let me tell you, this vote is valuable. If it were converted into my living expenses, it would allow me to live a life of meat every meal for five or six years.

"But it's a pity that I really don't have the money to buy a suitcase. Fortunately, I don't have anything to carry. The schoolbag I used when I went to school is enough, and it's even quite loose. This actually saves me money on shipping."

"Is your uncle...?"

"Tianen Group. He is from the 'head office', which means he should be a senior executive."

Russell said so.

Naturally, this was also information he deliberately revealed.

On the one hand, it is to gain the goodwill and trust of the other party, on the other hand, it is also a silent threat.

"Tianen Group...that's a big company."

The tall white-haired young man sighed in a low voice.

He thought for a while and handed a small box to Russell as if nothing had happened: "You are a good boy...

"But good children should be more careful in Happy Island."

"It sounds like Happy Island is not much different from Sogo Island."

Russell muttered and opened the box casually.

The next moment, he felt the hairs on the tips of his ears explode.

The heart almost stopped.

The moment his fingertips touched it, he realized what it was.
