chapter 8 Return the favor

by Naime 16:58,Feb 19,2024


What will happen?

Ned Scurr couldn't imagine it.

Because the master once asserted that his strength and physical ability were extremely powerful and rare in the world. If the restraints were removed, wouldn't he become a monster that could crush the people with one arm?

According to what his father said in his letter, his right arm might be just one of the twelve parts of his body that were imprisoned by "shackles." If all the shackles in his body were removed... Ned Scurr did not dare to continue thinking about it and said with a bitter smile: "Dad, dad, you The letter is so mysterious, should I believe it or not?"

In fact, Ned Scurr believed 80% to 90% of the content in the letter. After all, no father would talk nonsense in the last letter left to his son.

Ned Scurr tried his best to control his emotions and lowered his head to read the last few paragraphs of the letter.

The last thing dad should do in this life is to fall in love with your mother and bring suffering to you and your mother. I'm afraid I won't have the chance to make it up to you in this life. I'm sorry for you.

The ending of my father's life is destined to escape from his enemies or be killed by them.

When you read this letter, your father will probably no longer be in this world. All he asks is that you protect your mother, protect yourself, and spend this life safely.

Although Ned Scurr had never met his father, after reading the last few paragraphs written by his father and thinking that his father might have been killed by his enemies, his chest tightened and his heart ached.

He stared at the letter in his hand and stayed there for a long time.

We must find out what happened to our father.

If something unexpected happens, as a son of man, he must take revenge.

No matter how scary and powerful the enemy is.

The hatred between close relatives is irreconcilable.

Ned Scurr gritted his teeth and thought about it. He glanced at the room where his mother lived. The lights were still on. He wondered whether he should show the letter to his mother.

The last page cannot be shown to my mother.

The mother, who was already grieved by the death of her loved one, must have been even more sad and painful after seeing the last few paragraphs written by her father. She might even remain depressed.

After hesitating for a moment, Ned Scurr folded the letter and put it away, deciding to show his mother the first three pages of his father's letter tomorrow morning to prevent his mother from losing sleep after reading the letter tonight.

………………………

The morning sun shines through the glass windows.

Ned Scurr opened his eyes expressionlessly and stood up.

After sitting on the floor meditating all night, he couldn't even feel the shackles in his body, so how could he break free from them.

"Let it go..."

Ned Scurr murmured in his heart and stopped forcing anything.

After having breakfast with his mother, Su Hao took out his father's autographed letter. He was afraid that his mother's mood would fluctuate too much after reading the letter and she would not be able to eat.

"Mom, this is the letter left by dad."Ned Scurr handed the letter to his mother. The original four pages of the letter were now only three pages, one page missing.

The missing page was the last page of the letter, which was collected by Ned Scurr. After all, the words his father wrote to him and the last few paragraphs were not suitable for his mother to read.

He was afraid that his mother would think wildly after seeing it.

His father must have had this concern when he left the letter to him instead of to his mother.

Lauren Sowden was shocked. She didn't expect that the man who had worried her for twenty years would leave a letter. She was so excited that she took the letter, opened it carefully, and read it line by line.

Before she finished reading the first page, Lauren Sowden could no longer control her emotions and burst into tears. Every word and every word from her beloved man touched the softest place in her heart.

Ned Scurr lips moved, but he didn't say anything. His mother, who had missed her father for so many years, was inevitably excited when she finally saw his father's handwritten letter.

However, Ned Scurr felt sad and distressed when he saw his mother like this. He also realized deeply how important and unforgettable his father, whom he had never met, was to his mother.

"I don't know where your dad is now or how he is doing."Lauren Sowden choked with sobs.

Ned Scurr didn't know how to respond to his mother.

"No matter how much I suffer, it doesn't matter. I just want you and your son to be safe."Lauren Sowden said as she wiped the tears from her face and continued to read the letter.

When Ned Scurr heard what his mother said, his heart became heavier. He couldn't imagine what his mother would do if something unexpected happened to his father.

After reading the last paragraph of the third page, Lauren Sowden was slightly startled when she realized that the content of the letter did not end there.

"There is another page at the back, written for me."Ned Scurr had to tell the truth.

Lauren Sowden just nodded and turned to the first page again. Obviously she wanted to read it again. She did not ask her son for the last page of the letter.

She would not invade her son's privacy.

Ned Scurr secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Lauren Sowden read a letter over and over again. Fortunately, his mood gradually stabilized and he was not as excited as he was at first. He no longer shed tears or choked with sobs.

"Keep this letter from your father carefully..."

After speaking, Lauren Sowden slowly folded the three pages of letter paper, stuffed it into the envelope, and returned the letter to Ned Scurr.

"Mom, you should keep it." Su Hao knew how important this letter was to his mother. It could be said that this was the only thing his father left to their mother and son.

Leave the letter to your mother so that your mother's thoughts can be pinned down.

"Okay, I'll keep it for you."

Lauren Sowden smiled, took the letter, and got up to go back to his bedroom.

Ned Scurr looked at his mother's back with mixed emotions. Finally, he clenched his fist and firmed up the idea he had last night...to find out what happened to his father.

A few minutes later, mother and son sat opposite each other again. The table had been cleared by the nanny and fruits were placed on it. Lauren Sowden asked her son, "How long do you plan to stay when you come back this time?"

"I have to deal with some work matters when I come back this time. I can't tell how long it will take to deal with them."Ned Scurr so-called work matters were actually to return a favor for his sister.

The scene when the siblings first met six years ago flashed through his mind.

At that time, he was hunting in the mountains where his master lived in seclusion, and happened to encounter a crazed adult black bear chasing his god sister. If he hadn't taken action in time, his god sister, who was touring the famous mountains and rivers of China alone with her luggage, would have died.

Afterwards, his god-sister wanted to take him to the West, but his master actually nodded in agreement, saying that the fate between master and apprentice was over, and it was time for him to get out of the mountains, see the glitzy world, and feel the sinister nature of people's hearts.

It's been six years since he left.

As for how to return the favor this time, his god sister didn't say anything, and he didn't ask much.

It's nothing more than the same as before, either killing people or protecting people.

He hoped it was the latter. Although he was the youngest murderer in the dark world of the West and had a notorious reputation, he did not want to kill innocent people indiscriminately or harm good people.

The people he killed over the years were all people who deserved to die.

After repaying the favor to his sister, he went to look for any clues about his father. Since his father had appeared in this world, he didn't believe he couldn't find any clues.

"It would be nice if we could stay a little longer."Lauren Sowden was sure that her son would not leave for the time being and was very happy.

Just then Ned Scurr's cell phone rang.

Ned Scurr took out his mobile phone and frowned at the caller ID.

Beijing local number.

Could this be the call his sister asked him to wait for?

Ned Scurr answered the phone thoughtfully.

"Are you Mr. Su?"

The old man's voice came out from Ned Scurr mobile phone, but he was full of respect for Ned Scurr.

Maybe the old man is afraid of Ned Scurr, or maybe the old man's respect comes from Ned Scurr's god-sister Ivy Zorn and the forces behind Ivy Zorn.

"I am."

Ned Scurr responded tepidly.

"I have admired you for a long time..."

The old man pretended to be excited and said some compliments to Ned Scurr, and then got back to business.

In case his mother heard something and worried about him, Ned Scurr got up and walked out of the house.

Lauren Sowden looked at his son's serious look when talking about work and felt that his son was very promising. It was enough to have such a good son in this life!

When she thought about not being able to send her son to college, Lauren Sowden felt guilty and blamed herself.
