The Love that Never Really Dies (Sasha and Sebastian)

Chapter 1251 The Truth

Sebastian stopped himself from imagining the worst.

He did not realize this, but his tone had taken on a softer note when he asked his father that lastquestion.

Shin took a sip of his tea and thought hard about how best to answer Sebastian's question.

"Eddie was a very clever person. For many years, he has single-handedly built up his massiveunderworld power. He trusted no one but himself.”

Seeing Sebastian was keeping silent, Shin continued, “At one point, I started to suspect that Louiswasn't as extraordinary as everyone thought he was. His younger brother, Eddie, was the key. Whatreally got me thinking was that Eddie didn’t plan for any big movement in the beginning.”Sebastian was dumbstruck for a moment.

What does he mean by Eddie didn't plan for something big in the beginning? Does this mean whenLouis rose to the highest commanding position, Eddie was still loyal to him?

After a long pause, Shin finally let on what he had been analyzing for a few decades. “I suspect thathas got to do with Judith's death.”

Shin's sudden revelation had stunned Sebastian.

"Are you telling me that old geezer had a thing for her?” His face was filled with disgust.

Shin was flabbergasted, followed by slight amusement.

“No, that's not what I meant. Judith was already married and had a daughter at that time. So thatwas not going to happen. What I meant to say was that she, too, was an intelligent and sharp-wittedperson. I'm sure you're familiar with the historic battle of the North Sea?”

Sebastian tried to recollect his memory. “Yes, I do. Isn't that the most crucial battle during theindependence war?”

“That's the one. In every history book, Louis was the brain and hero behind this critical battle,bringing victory to us all. But when you met Eddie, what did he say to you about this battle?”“Eddie?” Sebastian was slightly startled at the unexpected question directed at him. But he soonrecalled the conversation he had with Eddie when the latter hacked into his security monitor lastnight.

“That's right. He said that even though Louis had led the military advancement, he was the one whohad done most of the work. Eddie also mentioned Judith and said she knew everything. But now...”“That was him fooling himself. Judith was the one behind all the strategy-planning in the battle ofthe North Sea. I didn't make this up. These were all clearly recorded in Louis’ note,” Shin said with asneer on his face.

This was the first time Sebastian had seen Shin losing his usual composure when relaying anincident.

Sebastian was still in shock, trying to digest all the information dumped at him all at once.

They won the battle because of Judith? In such a case, I really had misunderstood Eddie's intention.He was not in love with her. The more probable explanation is that he was jealous of her. More so,he must have hated her for stealing his thunder. Eddie thought it was time for him to shine, toprove to everyone that he was worthy as a military leader. But that dream was crushed into pieces.That's when he started to turn to the dark side, slowly plotting his revenge.

Suddenly, Sebastian felt a chill down his spine as a couple of ideas started to form in his mind.

His hand trembled at that thought, causing the tea to spill from the cup.

“What are you thinking about?” Shin asked calmly.

After a long moment of silence, Sebastian looked deeply into his father's eyes and asked carefully,“What about the death of Louis and Judith?”

“I can't say I'm sure. But think about it. As the founding father of this country, is it normal to replace hiscorpse in an ice cave underneath this temple? And as for Judith, she had survived the war that hadlasted for nearly ten years. But she suddenly died just as the North Sea battle was concluded and anew government was to be formed. Don't you think that's too much of a coincidence?”

The old monk was no longer holding back. He was firing question after question at Sebastian. Hisexpression was full of hatred and detestation.

This was the first time he had let his emotion roam free after decades of keeping them in. After all,he had served a long while in the military. Traces of justice and fighting spirit would always remainin his blood no matter how much time had passed.

Sebastian remained silent. But at that moment, the cup in his hand was on the verge of beingcrushed into pieces. Every fiber on Sebastian's face was exuding a cold, chilling desire forbloodshed.

“Don’t you worry. I'll bring him here.”

"What do you mean?”

“I want him to return to where he belongs. Be it by the door of this temple or at the entry of hell. Iwant him torn into pieces!”

Crack!

The cup in his hand finally broke into pieces.

This was the last message sent out from him.
