Personality V: I will save everything

Naib and Valletta rushed in the direction of Miles anxiously, but no matter how fast they were, they couldn't be faster than Benny, who was already a demon.

Miles also realized the danger and quickly took out the gun he carried and shot Benny.

But how could the bullet hit the evil spirit?

Seeing that Benny's hand was about to strangle Miles' neck.

suddenly!

A hand made of stone pinched Benny's outstretched hand.

"Norton!!!"x3

Valletta, Naib and Miles were all very shocked. Not only were they shocked that Norton stopped Benny, they were even more shocked that Norton actually stood up! ! !

Norton ignored the shocked shouts of the three people, but pulled Benny in front of him, then punched him hard and knocked him away.

"It's so haunting...Benny..." Norton rubbed his fists and looked in Benny's direction.

"Ahhhhhh!!!" Even though he was losing his mind like this, Benny still didn't recognize Norton's identity. He just let out a hoarse roar again and rushed in the direction of Miles.

But Norton would not tolerate him.

Norton clenched his stone pickaxe with both hands, raised it high, and then swung it down hard, driving Benny's head into the ground.

"Norton!" At this time, Naib finally rushed to Norton's side and asked quietly in Norton's ear, "Do you know him?"

"Yes, I know him. His name is Benny. He is my father's friend and he can be regarded as my half-godfather." Norton had no intention of hiding anything.

"Huh?" x3

But Norton's words completely confused Naib, Valletta and Miles.

Because according to what Norton said just now, Norton should have a good relationship with this evil ghost named Benny, but seeing what Norton did just now, his men showed no mercy at all.

Norton also saw their doubts and explained.

"He killed my father for money. So I took revenge on him and tricked him into an abandoned mine tunnel with several other miners who bullied me, and ignited the explosives I had planted in advance."

"……"x3

After hearing what Norton said, Valletta and the three of them didn't know what to say.

After all, the hatred of killing his father is shared by everyone. Although Norton's actions are a bit extreme, they cannot say that Norton's actions are wrong.

Norton didn't care about anything else, just waved his hand and said.

"Valletta, Naib, protect Miles. I want to end it with him personally."

After hearing what Norton said, Valletta and Naib immediately stood on either side of Miles.

There are some things that Norton needs to settle on his own.

At this time, Benny finally got up from the ground. He still looked irrational and still wanted to rush in the direction of Miles.

But Norton wouldn't let him have his way.

Looking at Benny's current appearance, Norton couldn't help but say.

"Can't you remember me? Benny? It doesn't matter. Let me help you remember it... uh..." Norton threw out his pickaxe hard, and the pickaxe penetrated Benny's shoulder, nailing him. on the wall behind him.

"You know? Benny, I originally thought you were the salvation of our family, and I have always regarded you as my other father..." Norton said as he retracted the pickaxe, and Benny slipped without support. On to the ground.

"Remember what you once said? You hope that your descendants can bathe in the sun every day and have cake every day." Norton asked Benny who fell on the ground in front of him.

But the only answer he got was Benny rushing towards him with his teeth and claws bared.

"I really thought the future would be so beautiful, but why did you plant such false hope in my heart?!"

Benny's attack was in vain in Norton's eyes. He yanked the pickaxe forcefully and knocked Benny away again.

"You bastard, my father wanted to make you rich, but what did you do? You caused a mining accident and killed him." Norton walked up to Benny again, holding up a pickaxe to question him.

After successive duels, Benny gradually realized that he was no match for Norton. He wanted to escape, but how could Norton let him escape?

"Benny, you should thank me. I let you die with your dream of getting rich, and since I can kill you the first time, I can kill you the second time."

Norton had had enough, or maybe he was tired of it, no matter how angry he questioned Benny, he still looked irrational.

Norton raised the pickaxe in his hand high and hit Benny again and again.

His posture really resembles the way countless miners in the mining area use pickaxes to pound waste rocks.

It wasn't until Benny was about to completely dissipate that he finally seemed to have recovered his memories of his life.

"Norton!" Benny finally recognized the stone monster in front of him, which was his former nephew Norton.

"Norton, good boy, for your father's sake..." Benny kept begging Norton, but Norton still didn't stop.

Norton still watched Benny with cold eyes as he kept begging for mercy. How could he let his enemy go?

Finally, Benny became angry and yelled loudly.

"No... Norton, damn you fool's gold!!!"

Benny finally dissipated, completely disappearing from this world, and his soul disappeared forever.

But Norton still mechanically hit the area where Benny disappeared.

"Norton! That's enough!" Naib quickly ran forward and grabbed Norton's hands that were still raised high.

"That's enough, Norton, that's enough, stop it."

It wasn't until he got closer that Naib finally saw that Norton's face was full of tears.

"That's enough, Norton, stop it."

at last……

As if Norton finally reacted, the pickaxe fell from his hand and hit the ground heavily.

Norton also seemed to have exhausted all his strength and collapsed to the ground.

"Norton!"

"Mr. Norton!"

Valletta and Miles also rushed over to check on Norton.

"How is he?" Valletta asked Naib quickly. Naib had been checking Norton's condition from the beginning.

"Norton, he..." Naib didn't know what to say to Valletta.

Because Norton is now...

"Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha……"

That's right, Norton is lying on the ground, not wanting others to see his expression, because he is laughing now.

Norton didn't know why he was laughing, but he just couldn't stop it.

But Naib, who had just been close to Norton to observe him, must have noticed it. But Naib thought about it carefully and decided not to tell Valletta and Miles about it...

"He's fine," Naib told Valletta and Miles.

After hearing what Nabu said, the two of them finally breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, Norton was fine.

...............

When everything was settled and the four of them left the mining area...

In the hotel they had prepared in advance, Nabu finally asked the question in his heart.

"Norton, did you do this on purpose?"

Of course, Naib was referring to Norton deliberately pretending to be unable to stand up. In fact, Norton had already recovered.

Or maybe Norton's symptoms were real in the manor originally, but during the period after Norton left the manor, Norton's condition had already improved for some time, but he still pretended that he had not recovered. look.

"This should be attributed to Miles." Norton casually threw the blame on Miles. Anyway, the two of them were in Norton's room now, and Miles was not here.

And in fact, all this was indeed thanks to Miles, and he was not unjustly responsible for taking the blame.

"If Miles hadn't suggested that he go to the mining area, I would have stood up long ago."

It was because Norton knew how those people in the mining area were cannibalistic devils that Norton had to pretend to be like that.

Think about it, a disabled person who needs to use a wheelchair will definitely be subconsciously planned to be among the vulnerable groups who have no fighting ability.

In this way, when something happens, the miners will subconsciously ignore Norton, so that when the time comes, Norton will have the opportunity to fight back.

"You're awesome."

Naib, who had fought on the battlefield, must know this truth, so he had no reason to blame Norton.

"Knock knock knock..."

A knock on the door interrupted Naib and Norton's conversation.

Naib went to open the door and found that the person who came was Miles.

"Excuse me, Mr. Norton, can I talk to you alone?"

"Of course." Norton agreed without hesitation.

As for Nabu, of course he wisely left the room and closed the door for them.

…………

"Do you have anything to ask? Mr. Miles." Norton leaned back on the chair behind him, without any trace of etiquette education.

"I just want to say thank you for what happened today. Thank you." After saying that, Miles stood up and bowed deeply to Norton.

Because Miles clearly knew that today's incident was tantamount to exposing the scars on Norton's heart.

"There's no need to apologize, Miles. I...I don't care anymore..." He said this, but Miles still saw the sadness in Norton's eyes.

"It's hard to imagine a noble like you. But this is the daily life of us lower class people. You can never believe anyone around you." Norton said this. He believed that nobles like Miles must have never experienced Norton. things experienced.

"Yes, you are right." Miles admitted without hesitation.

To be honest, Miles originally thought that the family he lived in was already a terrible hell, but today he really saw what real hell is.

"Before today, you may have never thought about it," Norton said, looking at Miles and the jewelry he was still wearing.

"The pure gold brooch on your chest may have been purchased by a human life, and the gorgeous clothes you are wearing may have been purchased by a dozen female workers who had not gone to school with their youth and freedom. In exchange. The food you eat every day may be obtained by dozens of farmers in a year's life. But before today, you have never considered these things, right? "

Norton was still talking to himself, not caring about how much impact what he said today would have on Miles's worldview.

"Mr. Miles, you were born a noble. However, not everyone is like you. You have had enough food and clothing since you were born, but you don't know how many people have to do their best just to live." Norton even said He slammed the table hard in excitement.

"Mr. Myers, you are a beneficiary of class and enjoy the conveniences that class has brought to you, but I just hope that you will not forget how many bloody lives are behind the conveniences you have received."

Norton suddenly realized that what he said seemed to go too far.

"Sorry, Mr. Miles, I'm too excited. But as I said, how many nobles will never step into that mining area in their lives, and they will never know that the accessories and tableware they use casually are What did you get in exchange for it?”

After saying so much, Norton rubbed his brows tiredly.

"Sorry, I'm too tired. Mr. Miles, please come back."

After saying that, Norton invited Miles out of his room.

However, after listening to what Norton said, Miles couldn't calm down for a long time.

Because he suddenly realized that he was really like Norton said.

He knew that gold came from stones and that food came from the earth.

But he didn't know how much manpower and material resources were spent.

He found that he was really just like Mr. Norton said, he was a class profiteer, but he had no idea how much hardship there was behind this profit.

Thinking of this, Miles, who was standing in the corridor, put his hand on Norton's door.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Norton Campbell."
