Chapter 61: Chapter 61: Learning to Face It

This story sounded thrilling and absurd no matter how one listened to it. The six adults in the room felt it was completely unbelievable.

Benjamin and Isabella were used to making excuses for their younger brother’s strange actions, so they quickly accepted the truth. Benjamin asked heartbrokenly:

"Then how did you live during those years?"

Liam nodded: "Alright. The first eighteen years I was the child of a rich family, then it was discovered that I was switched at birth, exactly like in this life. It is only that in that life I was driven away, not that I left on my own."

Liam spoke, his gaze sinking gradually into distant memories: "My biological parents’ family did not welcome me just like you two. Fortunately, on my mother’s side there were still Uncle Lucas and Aunt Lucy; the aunts and uncles on the maternal side also loved me very much. In that world, I got to study at an Agricultural school, then also established a Vlog channel specializing in farming and food, using that as startup capital to develop my career later."

"At forty years old, I planned to retire with a trip, but before I could carry it out I was murdered by my biological father’s family. I remember at that time my head smashed into the edge of a table, after that I returned to this place, exactly at the moment before dying."

Liam touched the back of his neck. He seemingly recalled the throbbing pain and dizziness of that time, his face wrinkling slightly. His hand was grabbed by a rather strong force. Liam turned around and saw Elijah looking at him with a face full of tears.

Alexander opened his mouth slightly, speaking chokingly: "It is because you had lived through a lifetime, therefore when waking up, you were determined to leave our family, is that right?"

Liam shook his head again: "Not really. Actually I had prepared from before then. I heard you and Father discussing finding me a marriage alliance, while everyone already knows, I am extremely repulsed by that matter. If that incident had not happened, I would have left right on that night, rather than waiting until several days later."

Mrs. Hall stepped forward to embrace Liam in her arms, sobbing: "I apologize to you, we wronged you. We were truly wrong."

Liam said nothing. As an experienced person, he understood the Hall family’s mentality. Comparing a pitiful Elijah and an original owner living in silk from childhood, their mentality would unconsciously lean toward the more pitiful child. For the things that happened at that time, if they only willed to investigate carefully they would discover abnormalities; it was merely that favoritism prevented them from doing so.

The thing making the original owner’s heart run cold was not Elijah’s tricks, but the Hall family’s favoritism in every circumstance. Because of this favoritism, outsiders also used a less than friendly attitude to treat the original owner. Previously the original owner also had a few friends, but ever since the original owner’s identity was exposed, along with the Hall family’s differential treatment, these friends distanced themselves from the boy one after another.

Therefore, after hearing the father and eldest brother Alexander say they wanted to marry the boy off, the original owner finally made the decision to leave the Hall house, returning a harmonious family life to the family where the boy had stayed for eighteen years.

Regarding the search for the Martinez family, the original owner was betting on the kind hearts of the siblings Benjamin and Isabella.

He bet correctly; it was a pity that he did not even have time to receive their love before he was gone. Once again, Liam hoped the original owner’s soul would revive in Liam’s body. Although being a little old, lacking a life partner to share a pillow, to make up for it there were relatives loving the original owner truly.

The atmosphere in the living room at this moment was flooded in sorrow. Besides Mrs. Hall’s sobbing, there were also the suppressed sniffling sounds of Elijah and the butler. Liam swept a glance over everyone in the room once; besides feeling a little sentimental, there was nothing too special.

Liam felt the need to stop this topic. He tilted his head to look at Mr. Hall and Alexander, asking a question indifferently:

"Have you brought the person back yet?"

Alexander and Mr. Hall were dazed for a moment. For some unknown reason, they actually knew who Liam was mentioning. Mr. Hall lowered his voice, an uncontainable trace of murderous intent in his eyes:

"We have brought the person back, locked in the basement at the private manor in the suburban district."

Liam nodded. He gently pushed Mrs. Hall, who was hugging him, away, saying in a low voice: "Mother, I still have things to do; wait until the work is done I will return immediately." He handed the picture dictionary pages from earlier to her, saying: "These are edible plants that I asked friends to help find; take them back to the Institute, they will be very useful in the future."

Liam pulled Elijah to stand up, saying to Mr. Hall: "Take us there."

Mr. Hall looked at the two Omegas, wanting to speak yet stopping. Alexander spoke out in Mr. Hall’s place: "No! The situation there is not suitable for you two!"

Liam shot a glance at Alexander, speaking coldly: "We must absolutely go. Could it be you want the things happening this past year to continue replaying?"

He opened his mouth, looking at Elijah who was hazy and failing to understand the matter over there, feeling a little unable to bear it. However, Mr. Hall stood up, saying calmly:

"Then let’s go."

"Father!" Alexander still disagreed.

Mr. Hall patted Alexander’s shoulder, saying: "Take advantage of the day off to take the two Martinez youngsters to sightsee the Capital planet. I know my limits."

Alexander pursed his lips, watching helplessly as Mr. Hall led the two younger brothers out of the house. Going along with them was also butler Levi.

The specialized hovercar picked them up at the house door; the figures of the four people disappeared very quickly in the air. Isabella looked restlessly at Alexander, her lips trembling slightly:

"Where did they go? Nothing will happen, will it?"

At this moment Mrs. Hall stood up; although her eyes were still bloodshot, her voice was far calmer: "Do not worry, William always has calculations when working, nothing will happen. Now I want to go to the Research Institute, do you two want to go with me?"

Benjamin and Isabella shook their heads immediately: "We will pass, Madam, we do not dare to bother you."

That was the Research Institute, the vital place of the entire Galaxy; even if they went there they would not dare raise their heads to look. Alexander sighed again, seemingly having accepted fate:

"Mother, go ahead and do your work, I will take them to stroll around a little."

Mrs. Hall nodded, speaking with a smile to the two siblings: "Just calling me Aunt Aurora is fine, calling me Madam sounds too distant. Then you two have fun playing, I will not hinder you anymore."

She looked silently at the two siblings; after hearing the two siblings call her "Aunt Aurora", she finally left in satisfaction. Alexander stood up, tugged at his suit vest, saying:

"Let’s go, I will take you two to stroll around a little."

The two Martinez siblings nodded, following Alexander outside. They still had not forgotten the matter of their younger brother wanting to survey locations to place the restaurant branch on the Capital planet.

At the suburban manor, Mr. Hall led the two Omegas down into the basement. Inside was brightly lit yet extremely cold. It occasionally emitted a few faint groans, making Elijah feel a little frightened. He unconsciously shrank his shoulders, standing nestled beside Liam, his two hands stubbornly hugging Liam’s arm without letting go.

Liam realized the slight trembling transmitting from his arm. He used his remaining arm to gently rub Elijah’s head, comforting in a low voice: "Do not be afraid."

Mr. Hall walking in front and the butler walking behind them both unconsciously used the corners of their eyes to glance at them, sighing emotionally in their hearts. Liam/the second young master had truly changed, becoming steadier and more mature. This calmness could equal an Alpha who experienced life early like Alexander.

The four people walked to a closed room at the end of the corridor; both sides had bodyguards standing guard. The bodyguards saw them and bowed to greet them. They glanced over the two Omegas walking between two Alphas, their eyes holding a little astonishment.

Why did the Minister bring two fragile Omegas to this bloody place, was he not afraid of scaring the two boys?

"Open the door." Mr. Hall spoke in a cold voice.

The bodyguards immediately opened the alloy door. The door had barely opened, a miserable screaming sound immediately transmitted from inside. Elijah panicked and let out a soft "ah" sound, nestling even deeper into Liam’s arms. Clearly being Omegas alike, he unconsciously relied on Liam like a savior.

Liam rubbed Elijah’s head, saying: "Let’s go."

Having said that, he embraced Elijah’s shoulder, forcefully bringing the boy into the room. The alloy door closed once again, separating two worlds.

Inside was an extremely bloody scene; Elijah was terrified and shut his two eyes tight. Liam reached his hand out to grasp Elijah’s chin, speaking forcefully:

"Elijah, open your eyes, look carefully."

Elijah hesitated for a long time before trembling to open his eyes; his lip color was completely white, blending into the same color as his skin tone. Liam pointed toward the person currently bound to the electric chair in the middle of the torture room, asking:

"Look carefully. Do you recognize him?"

Elijah looked following the direction Liam’s hand pointed, trying to blink eyes that stung from physiological tears. When looking carefully at the bloody person in the middle of the room, his pupils contracted immediately.

It was him! Jackson Martinez!

Elijah’s nightmare!

Even if the man turned to ash, Elijah would recognize him!
