The Deadly Assassin Robin (Tristan Storm) novel Chapter 943

Chapter 943 This Journey Is Enough
Ernst stared in shock at Luella, then turned to look at Felix.

His brow furrowed, his face full of confusion.

After a moment of deep thought, he suddenly burst into laughter.

"Luella, you're just like Allie was back then! She was as clever as you, even a little sly and sharp-tongued too.

"You're deceiving me, trying to make me die with endless regret.

"On this point, you're not as kind as Allie."

Luella smiled bitterly, no longer willing to explain herself to this stubborn, suspicious old man.

Ernst sighed deeply, shaking his head in contempt.

"Felix, is this your idea? Did you have your granddaughter say this to me?

"You old fool, do you think I have lived over seventy years for nothing?

"Do you really expect me to believe that the fall of the Cesars was caused by the Dark Night Alliance and not by your family over a few words?

"Ridiculous!

"Luella, you're still too young! What you're saying might fool others, but it won't fool me. Your grandfather knows exactly what kind of man I am.

"This trick is too childish!"

Luella sneered coldly. "My grandfather isn't as worldly or cunning as you.

"He's loyal, honorable, and always dealt honestly with people.

"If not, the Aldridges wouldn't have become the great family they are today, a force to be reckoned with!

"This is the reason he achieved all this success.

"But you don't have any of that. All you have is deceit!

"You think that only through trickery, manipulation, and even underhanded means can you achieve your grand ambitions?

"You're completely wrong!

"In this world, those who achieve greatness all have hearts that are sincere, honest, and kind!

"Those who rely on lies, act piously while speaking nonsense, wear one face publicly and another in secret, and who use dark methods, will never achieve anything great. In the end, they'll be buried by the pits they dug for themselves."

Luella didn't feel like wasting any more time with him. She turned away and said, "Kolton, give him the files!

"Ernst, over the years, my family has gathered information on how the Dark Night Alliance gradually devoured the wealth of the Cesars.

"Take your time and read it. Once you do, you'll see just how foolish you've been.

"I'll say it again: the Dark Night Alliance is the true culprit who ruined your life and left you with nothing.

"Ernst, you really are pathetic."

Kolton handed Ernst a USB drive.

"Mr. Ernst, this is the information Mr. Aldridge spent decades gathering. Take a look.

"I shouldn't be saying this, but if you hadn't spread that rumor years ago that you were dead, Felix would've found you and given you this. You would have seen who truly betrayed you.

"Felix has suffered for decades, losing a brother like you. Please, take a favorable look."

Kolton nodded sympathetically at Ernst and turned to return to Felix.

Ernst stood frozen for a moment, trembling as he plugged the USB drive into the player.

On the screen appeared the undeniable evidence of how the Dark Night Alliance had consumed the Cesars' wealth.

Back then, the Dark Night Alliance had urgently needed massive wealth to grow their power, so they set their sights on the wealthiest families.

Ernst and a noble family from Ugonland had become their prey.

Felix watched the video and then glanced at Ernst's aged figure, shaking his head sadly.

"Ernst, I'm leaving. I hope you get better with time. If one day you no longer harbor hatred, I'll be waiting for you to join me in sharing the Aldridges' wealth.

"Back then, we had nothing. But together, we created something great.

"We could have enjoyed a prosperous life together, but manipulation led us to turn against one another. It's so sad.

"Unfortunately, it's too late to know all this.

"Now, we're both nearing the end of our lives. Knowing the truth feels almost meaningless now.

"I'm leaving. The doors of the Aldridges are always open to you.

"I just want you to know that I've always considered you a brother.

"Allie, before she passed, repeatedly told me that if your descendants ever needed anything, I should help them unconditionally. These were her exact words.
