Chapter 635 Harmonious Chat
"I'm sure you know what I mean. He used a knife to remove our skin!"
Colin propped his chin and explained with a pitiful expression, "Back then, we all knew he was relinquishing power
and wanted to withdraw himself from being in authority, but we never wanted him to stay alive. His existence was
like an unstable time bomb, ready to explode at any moment. Everyone wanted to kill him at any cost, but he still
survived!"
Umbrella nodded in agreement. "Mike is a very dangerous man!"
Colin wore a troubled look and continued. "I know he's still alive, but I never expected you to bring him to me that
night. It's not that I'm cowardly, but I'm really afraid of him."
Colin's fear of Mike was deeply ingrained, and I carefully recollected the image of the Ezekiel that I knew.
He was gentle and elegant, without a trace of cruelty.
Colin went on. "Initially, he had no power or authority, but he managed to seize Rudy's power in such a short time. If
he really has any intentions...I dare not even imagine it. Shawn will have no choice but to face him!"
They all referred to Ezekiel as a deity.
He was even referred to as the one chosen by God.
Because he could get whatever he desired.
But I felt like he was not interested in power right now; otherwise, he would not have stayed in Bryxton for so long.
And he would not have promised me to not harm Shawn.
Ezekiel had said that he would not attack proactively.
He promised me.
Although he had no obligation to make such a promise to me.
"I'm sure he won't do it," I said firmly.
Colin glanced at me, "Why are you so sure of it?"
"I don't know how he used to be. I've never met him at his peak because I was still young when he rose to fame. I
have no idea about his past. That's why, even when you described him as terrifying, I still perceive him as a gentle
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtand benevolent man."
Umbrella asked, "Are you close to Mike?"
Colin explained, "They were more than just being close. Ezekiel puts himself lowly in front of her, addressing her as
'miss' all the time!"
I glared at Colin. "That's not being lowly!"
"Then why does he call you 'miss' or 'Ms. Felix?'"
"He's just being polite," I said.
Colin hit the nail on the head and asked, "Does Mike have feelings for you?"
I was about to deny it when Umbrella suddenly jumped up from the bench in shock and asked in an incredulous
tone, "Colin, what did you say? Mike has a crush on her? How is that possible! He doesn't look…"
"Right? You're surprised too, aren't you? I was equally surprised, but Mike's attitude toward her was completely…
how should I put it? Umbrella, Mike massaged her legs and was obedient to her. Can you believe it? Can you believe
that's what Mike would do? It blew my mind!"
I was speechless.
I felt like I could not communicate with them anymore.
They were just two fools!
I sighed internally. After exchanging a few more words with Umbrella, Colin said to me, "We were the ones who
wronged Mike. He had shown special favor to the W Organization where Shawn used to be, and he had done many
collaborations with Shawn, Rudy and Alfred. With his peculiar character, it's not surprising that everyone feared that
he would regain his authority! However, Shawn never felt he had done Mike wrong because, in his view, business
dealings are mutually beneficial. He and Mike could always find a way out for themselves no matter whether they
are involved in the business world or not! But it's undeniable that he has developed rapidly since he had business
collaborations with Mike. I heard that he returned to the Xenos Family immediately after Mike disappeared. To be
honest, without Mike, Shawn wouldn't be able to return to Bryxton that quickly! It's hard to determine who was right
or wrong when we look back at the past. Shawn has always acted with a clear conscience without having any guilt!
It's because of this that I dislike and oppose him! He is not guilty at all and thinks that everyone is just being
sentimental! Just take LG as an example. He didn't feel any guilt because he thinks that it was LG who insisted on
treating him well, and it's none of his business. How can a man be so cold-hearted?"
"You're wrong," I said.
Colin raised his eyebrows, "How am I wrong?"
"Business dealings are indeed mutual. It's just that people have different interpretations. While Ezekiel thought he
was helping Shawn, Shawn only saw him as one of his many business partners. He stated that he never considered
Mike his friend, and he had never made any promises to him. As for LG, she liked Shawn and was willing to risk her
life to save him, but Shawn never asked her to do so. There are many women who like Shawn. If they are all willing
to sacrifice their lives for him, should Shawn be responsible for all of them? It may sound harsh, but Colin, think
about it. Isn't that how it was supposed to be? Besides, Shawn is not as heartless as you think. He does repay LG
and he never takes people for granted. He always pays back in secret."
"True. There's only one Shawn Xenos."
"And one more thing," I said.
Colin turned his head and asked, "What is it?"
I said with confidence, "I believe in Ezekiel. He won't become a threat to this world. At least that's what I believe
now. He withdrew from the center of power because..."
Colin curiously asked, "What was the reason?"
I said sadly, "Colin, I was 14 years old when my parents disappeared in a 'plane crash' 11 years ago. I was left with
nothing in an instant. At that time, Ezekiel knew my situation and first sent Gary Reyes, who is now my assistant, to
Bryxton to help me. He then planned to withdraw from the center of power. He left just to be there for me during
those difficult times, and yet you guys pushed him to desperation."
I felt sorry for Ezekiel in my heart.
However, that was all I felt. I had no other feelings for him.
Colin and Umbrella stood up in shock again. "Because of you?"
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"That's not the point! I just want to say that Ezekiel is a good person, and you guys should stop judging him based
on your past perceptions."
Colin suddenly contemplated. Umbrella sat down and said, "At that time, Mike was very eager to leave the center of
power. When I think back now, although he was bad, he still had some kindness in his heart. Otherwise, he wouldn't
have treated Shawn and Rudy so specially."
Colin sighed. "I've always thought we were wrong to him back then, but at the same time, I also felt that he
deserved it. After hearing what you said, I now realized how foolish I was. Without Mike, the W Organization would
have disappeared many years ago!"
Umbrella agreed. "It's impossible to determine who was right or wrong because there wasn't a clear cut. We just
went with the trend at that time."
Shawn had followed the trend back then.
Kevin walked over and rubbed my head, asking, 'What are you guys talking about? By the way, the scene of the
three of you chatting looked quite harmonious! Hahaha, Aimes even cursed when he saw you guys chatting happily.
He thought that you guys have been assimilated by Ray!"
Colin looked toward Aimes in the distance. "He's always had a bad temper and an arrogant attitude! He thinks he's
the most handsome person in the world, and no one can do anything to him!'"
Kevin praised, "What a concise summary!"
Colin asked, "Are you still with him?"
Kevin's body instantly stiffened. "You know about this?"
"Hey, did you really think I wouldn't notice your flirtations? D*mn it. Even though we're enemies, we're now sitting
together chatting harmoniously. It makes me lose my sense of authority! Renee definitely won't be afraid of me
anymore!"
I was speechless.
Kevin sarcastically taunted him. "Why would Ray be afraid of you? If you have the guts, try seizing her again. Let's
see what Shawn will do to you!"
Colin scoffed. "Do you think I'm afraid of Shawn?"
