Chapter 722: The Unstoppable Truth
“Think about it, if I die here today, The Pastrano family, behind me, will not let it go, and Allyce, whatever happens, is now the big boss of the LK Group, an important figure in the national economic market, if something happens to her, do you think the Z government will let the killer go free?”
Marco’s tone is confident.
He watched with satisfaction as Tajo’s face changed again and again, and continued, “He who is young does not take the wrong path, and when you are old you must restrain yourself, evil does not prevail, this is the law of the world, you think you can escape for a while, but you can also escape for a lifetime!”
Marco’s last words are true.
It was a voice that came from his soldier’s heart.
He enlisted early in the army and in his first years in the army he was also a confused person who did not listen to discipline and did not want to suffer.
Later, in the midst of one mission after another, the sense of mission on his shoulders grew heavier.
This task, when he first accepted it, he only thought he was going to be promoted after completing it, so he thought he had to complete it.
However, the more he investigated, the more he discovered that there was a lot of involvement, and even the families of his colleagues were involved.
In time, the case became for him not just a case that would win him military honours, but a case driven by his duty as a soldier.
I don’t know what word of that sentence touched Tajo’s scales, but his eyes suddenly became bright.
“And what do you know!” he sneered, with a tinge of amusement in his voice, “You call me old and confused, what good are you, young man? As far as you have investigated Grizzi, after all this time, have you found any substantial evidence? Even if you knew I was Grizzi’s leader, Niguel, you would have to see me free without proof!
Allyce’s heartstring snapped with a loud bang.
It really is him.
It really is Tagus.
Marco has waited a long time for these words from Tajo.
“Yes, it’s true that I haven’t found proof yet, but just because I don’t have it doesn’t mean that others don’t have it”.
No sooner had he uttered these words than the sound of firm footsteps echoed in the quiet hallway.
It was the sound of leather shoes, hitting the ground, somewhat muffled, but extremely firm.
Having been with Severo for so long, I knew him so well that just by listening to the sound of footsteps I could tell that the person approaching was Severo.
She turned her head in surprise to see Severo, long and panting, coming this way.
It really is him.
She was about to run to him with joy on her face, but Severo gently avoided her embrace, only to shake her hand without moving, sending her a reassuring message with his gaze.
Then, with a slight nod to Allyce, he turned and addressed Tajo.Belongs © to NôvelDrama.Org.
The two are photographed coldly, looking like a divorced couple.
Allyce clasped her hands, her heart pounding.
A flash of panic appeared on Tajo’s face at the sight of Severo: “Severo! How did you get out!”
“I knew a friend was coming, so I went out.” Severo took a seat on the other side of him, his voice indifferent in the extreme.
Tajo thought again about what Marco had just said and looked at Severo with a surprised look on his face: “I am your grandfather no matter what!
“Yes.” There was a shallow sigh in Severo’s tone, but it made the emotion indistinguishable.
“Then why would you rather give LK to such a ruthless woman than take the castle of Solares! We are the ones who are related by blood!”
“Severo turned his head to look at him with a stoic face: “But what happened to her at the end?
“And my grandmother, your wife, how you incited her to jump to her death when you found out about her hereditary mental illness, remember?”
Severo spoke of all this with indifference, as if it had nothing to do with him.
“If at that time, my mother was only there because she knew that my grandmother had a hereditary mental illness, it was completely unnecessary for her to flee to Z and not return for years. Even if you didn’t feel anything for your mother, she was always your daughter, and whatever the reason for her death, it was impossible for you not to pursue the murderer, but you didn’t, why?”
Tajo’s face couldn’t have been uglier.
His whole body trembled. His hands gripped the armrests of his chair so tightly that he would have fainted if Severo had said anything else to provoke him.
Allyce, who was listening in silence, looked at Severo with an astonished face.
The meaning of Severo’s words, she understood, was that he was saying that the death of her mother, Qin Li, had something to do with Tajo.
“What are you saying, I don’t understand you!” Tajo’s voice had faltered slightly.
The defences of his heart were already being slowly shattered.
Marco couldn’t help looking at Severo.
He was not very sympathetic to the kind of families that killed each other.
After all, the Pastrano family is close-knit and even if one of the Pastrano family dogs falls victim, they will pursue him to the end, not to mention the daughter of the ruler of the day.
Severo’s face was grim: “My mother’s death was only because you borrowed Jonah’s knife”.
Tajo borrowed Jonas, the knife that killed his own mother, for selfish reasons, and … killed Allyce’s father.
On the other hand, Tajo and Jonas are related to him by blood, one being his grandfather and the other his real father.
After all these years, he has opened his eyes to his mother, who should never have been born into the Solares family.
And here, the most innocent of all is Allyce’s father.
The man called Orlin, whom I had also known as a teenager, was kind and gentle, a good man and a good father.
However, he was such a good man that he was murdered by his family.
Orlin, for his part, was the father of the woman he loved most.
Her family, who killed Allyce’s father, ruined her childhood and left her to grow up in turmoil, and after she married him, Tajo nearly killed her son.
Besides, the main reason Gabrio joined Grizzi back then was because Tajo threatened Allyce.
There are no impermeable walls in this world. If you want to know something, once you investigate it, you can’t stop the truth.
He had found out a lot and was hesitant to talk to Allyce about it for this very reason.
He didn’t hear what Tajo was saying, he looked in Allyce’s direction and saw her with tears streaming down her face.
He stiffened and looked away.
Did you ever regret meeting him and being with him?
Tajo reached out violently and threw the still confiscated dinner plate in front of him to the floor with a crunching sound.
His face was full of anger: “You knew all this and that’s why you did this to me! In all these years, I have treated you badly! At some point I wanted you to inherit my property!”
“Your heritage?” Severo scoffed, “You want me to keep doing all that damage for you? Take little children and experiment on them, get rid of everyone who threatens you, including your loved ones, and maintain the noble reputation of the Solares family while you are secretly the head of the biggest mafia organisation in the world as a way of satisfying your inner sadness and vanity?”
“Who would have thought that Count Castaneda, is Niguel, the leader behind Grizzi, and not everyone can do what I do, those who try to get to Niguel without knowing that I am Niguel and they have a lot of respect for me.”
A frenzy arose in Tajo’s eyes. Instead of feeling bad, he gloated over his actions and showed himself to be far superior.
Severo’s face was all pessimism as he looked at Tajo without speaking.
Marco, for his part, took the floor at that moment: “Well, we’ve had enough of talking, so I’d like Mr. Severo to join me, it’s cold, let’s find a warm place to have tea”.
At the words, a group of armed forces rushed in from outside.
Obviously, it was Marco who organised it all in the first place.
They surround Tajo and his group and are about to step forward to grab him when suddenly gunshots ring out around them.
Allyce’s ears buzzed at the sound of the gunshot and she didn’t even realise what was happening before Severo threw himself to the ground with his arms around her.
Severo put his arm around her, carefully protecting her in his arms without falling on her.
Marco’s first reaction, as a soldier, was also to drop to the ground.
When he remembered that Allyce was still there, he turned his head to see the two people embracing.
Love is a magical thing, his reaction was already fast, he didn’t think Severo could react even faster than him.
After meeting the couple, quite a few of the thoughts in your mind have changed and you even want to fall in love.
It’s hell.
The shooting continued and Allyce looked at Severo, trying to say something but unable to make a sound, his face flushed with anxiety.
Severo kissed her on the lips and whispered, “It was me who told Marco to drug you and stop you from talking, otherwise I would have been distracted, we’ll talk slowly about what happened when I get back, you follow Marco, he can protect you”.
Allyce looked at him in surprise, what do you mean “follow Marco, he can protect you”?
