Chapter 249
After Asus left the hall, he met Selina who was crying bitterly.
At this moment, Selena was close to going crazy.
Her dress and hair were disheveled, blood was oozing from her bandaged palms, the delicate make-up on her face was all smudged by her tears, her eyes were red and swollen, and her voice was hoarse.
She clung to Asus's mechanical right arm tightly as if she was grabbing a life-saving straw.
"Asius, please help mother, please help mother! You are the only one mother has. You are the most beloved child, aren't you? Please help mother. Mother has been waiting for you to come back and has been looking for you..."
Selina was so excited that she didn't even notice that her sharp nails had scratched the simulated skin on Asus' right arm.
How much love is the one she talks about?
Ash didn't push her away.
He looked at his embarrassed mother, and with a gentle smile, he helped her tidy up her messy hair, "But mother..."
"Didn't you say at the dinner that I wasn't Ashus?"
"No! Mother just wants to deal with that bitch Shen Yinyin. Asus, how could Mother bear to really touch you? That was just a temporary measure. Mother has been looking for you for a long time. Mother really loves you..."
Asus didn't care about Selina's explanation, but when she called Shen Yinyin a bitch, even the fake smile on his face disappeared.
Selina looked at Asius who pushed her away and panicked. She almost cried and begged, "Asius, you are the only one left for my mother! Don't go, don't go..."
Asus shook his head and said softly, "It's too late, mother, everything is too late..."
"Mother, this is the last time I will call you like this..."
Louis stood not far away and watched all this with a cold expression, and did not step forward.
When Asius came over, Louis withdrew his gaze and left the palace side by side with his not-so-good brother in the moonlight.
And Asus, from beginning to end, never looked back.
Selena stood in the cold night, watching the two people's backs getting farther and farther away until they disappeared.
For the first time, she experienced what it felt like to feel heart-wrenching pain. She felt as if all her strength had been drained away and she fell to the ground.
She screamed in pain: "Why?! Why!"
"Why are you leaving me? You are all my children..."
The desperate cries echoed throughout the huge palace.
At the same time, Admiral O'Neill, who brought this painful gift to Selina, was shaking the scarlet wine in his glass with satisfaction in a private room in the underground bar.
The three people opposite him were his three most proud hidden chess pieces - Yuri, Sally, and Winter.
Sally crossed his legs and spoke more because of his position as the Lord Chamberlain. Yuri, who was sitting next to him, was playing with the wine glass with his slender fingers, with his eyelashes drooping, and was silent.
Standing in front of the French window, looking at Winter at the bar downstairs, he didn't say a word after coming in.
After Shen Yinyin woke up, Louis and Asus were summoned to the palace first, and then the three of them left the manor after receiving news from O'Neill.
The three of them were a little absent-minded because they were worried about Shen Yinyin's condition.
However, although they were absent-minded, they clearly felt that O'Neal's rebelliousness was becoming more and more urgent.
If Shen Yinyin had not become the queen, the three of them might have been able to help O'Neill overthrow the unfair system of the empire.
But Shen Yinyin will be the next queen.
Just based on the fact that Shen Yinyin's ideas are completely different from other females, and everything she has done in pursuit of fairness and justice, she is worthy of following and supporting.
What's more, they still loved her deeply, so how could they possibly go against her?
However, it is easy to join the rebel army, but it is not so easy to leave.
O'Neal naturally saw the three men's intention to retreat, so he did not press them step by step. This meeting was just a test.
Unfortunately, the result of the test was not satisfactory.
Sally and Yuri were fine, but Winter's abnormal attitude made O'Neill extremely dissatisfied.
After finishing the conversation, O'Neill looked at the three people leaving the box and said, "Winter, stay. I have something to ask you."
When Winter stopped, O'Neal stood up and approached with his glass.
Although O'Neal is middle-aged and his hair is mixed with some gray, he is still tall and straight, and looks cold and intimidating.
"Winter, you've been disappointing me more and more lately..."
"For Shen Yinyin, you have disobeyed my orders time and again. Now you don't even say a word when I come out to see you. Look at you now. Do you still have any of the decisiveness you used to have?!"
Winter looked at O'Neill, raised his thin lips slightly, and said the first words after arriving in the box -
"I want to quit the organization."
Winter's voice was cold, and in his crystal clear blue eyes there was only indifference and silence.
Upon hearing this, O'Neal's face instantly turned dark, and he even crushed the wine glass in his hand.
He narrowed his eyes, veins popped out on his forehead, and warned in a deep voice: "Say it again!"
"I said, I want to quit the organization."
"How dare you! Do you still remember who you are?!"
As O'Neal shouted angrily, a slap fell, and a crisp sound rang out in the box -
Winter's head was tilted after being hit. He said nothing, but just calmly wiped the scarlet blood from the corner of his mouth.
O'Neill looked at the stubborn Winter and became more and more angry.
He sneered and said sarcastically: "You want to leave the organization? Do you think that Shen Yinyin will accept you if you leave the Rebellious Army?!"
"Tell me...if she knew that you were a spy of the Rebellion Army, knew that you were deliberately pushing her to other males for a match, knew that you were an insider when you were on the Eighth Star, knew your cruel methods in the past, and knew your true identity, do you think she would still accept you like this?"
"Will she think that her seemingly gentle and perfect brother is actually just a vicious and cruel traitor?"
Winter's face turned pale, and he looked at O'Neal with cold and terrifying eyes.
But O'Neill did not stop. He put his hand on Winter's shoulder and smiled deeply: "Winter, have you forgotten?"
"Not only you, your father is also a traitor..."
"Didn't you see your father kill his wife and your mother with his own hands?"
"Your blood runs with the blood of the rebels, the blood of violence. Why do you think you can get away with it?"
"Uncle does all this for your own good..."
"I promised your father that you would be the next best leader of the Rebel Army. You won't let us down, right?"
After O'Neill finished speaking, he looked at Winter's desperate eyes, smiled, patted Winter's shoulder, and left with satisfaction.
Winter's eyes were red as he stood in the empty box. He clenched his fists and slammed them hard on the wall.
His fist was covered in blood, he closed his eyes, gasping in pain, the girl's face flashed through his mind, and his heart felt like it was pierced by countless sharp swords.
The wind and snow poured in, like falling into the abyss...
