The night before leaving with the man, Arnold and William had a rare argument.

They have a common goal, a common philosophy, and are willing to dedicate everything to the establishment of the Utopia.

But differences remain.

—Neither of them could convince the other.

"...what we have been looking for is what we already have; we always look around, but miss what we want. This is the reason why we have not been able to get what we want so far."

The young man with ice blue eyes read in a low voice.

The old edition of "Πολιτεα" was half spread out on the dilapidated wooden table, and his fingertips ran across the yellowed pages.

"William, I think we should spend some time apart... maybe so we can figure things out."

The blond-haired, red-eyed young man stared at him silently for a long time before slowly responding: "...I see."

……

The separation in Arnold's mouth originally meant temporarily staggering the overlapping activities of the two people. He planned to calm down by himself first, and then had a good talk with William in a few days.

But the arrival of the unexpected guest completely disrupted his plan.

……

It was only when the man stood in front of him that Arnold suddenly realized that the younger brother whom his mother had been thinking about before his death was not dead at all. It was just that he joined the intelligence department after entering the army and then naturally abandoned his original identity.

However, his mother always thought that her beloved younger brother died on a foreign battlefield, and his father also thought that his mother's family had declined, so he resolutely abandoned his seriously ill wife and found a new love.

"Enough is enough—I think a year is enough for you to think about it," said Calvert, Arnold's blood-uncle, with his back turned to him, looking down from the window at the few children who were playing in the front yard of the orphanage. Child, the voice is cold, "You are too weak, and you can't realize your wish with your own strength."

Arnold asked calmly, "So?"

"Follow me back to the intelligence department, you will be the next chief, with enough power to change this increasingly corrupt country," he slowly evoked a cold smile, "provided - you are good enough."

Arnold looked at him blankly for three seconds, then nodded slowly and solemnly: "I understand."

"However, please let me leave a message to say goodbye to my companion."

From that day on, Arnold and William took similar but opposite paths.

Arnold sometimes wonders, would all this have been different if he hadn't chosen to do so?

But if there is no if, Arnold understands that even if he does it all over again, he will go on the same path.

William's heart is too soft. What the other party wants to do is to promote social change in a way that is almost self-sacrificing, but he is different. As long as the goal can be achieved, no matter how many sacrifices are made.

Change and revolution.

Crime and struggle.

They are doomed to go the other way.

……

At the age of 22, Arnold officially succeeded Calvert and became the chief of the British Intelligence Department, taking over the entire British national intelligence network.

In the same year, the crime lord began to be active on the London stage for a long time.

……

After becoming the chief of the intelligence department, Arnold began to experiment step by step to build his ideal country.

He picked someone.

Giotto·Vongola.

From the blond godfather, he saw a new possibility.

On the day he succeeds, he will personally tell that old friend who has almost parted ways that he was right.

...Unfortunately, it seems too late.

……

On the day when the crime secretary's identity was revealed, even though he was far away in Italy, Arnold received the news at the first time, sorted out the information in his hand, and Arnold guessed the other party's plan almost instantly.

Use your own death to push the detective to the stage that everyone expects, and then take away the darkness of London...?

William, long time no see, you are still so naive... so naive that it makes people laugh.

Arnold closed the information with a cold face, got up and went out, and found someone.

"... Nakel, I need your help."

……

The last bad breakup and someone's leaving without saying goodbye made William once think that the friendship between himself and Arnold when he was young has come to an end.

He even guessed that in the future they might become hostile because of their different ideas.

But it is undeniable that when seeing the other party again, what William felt in an instant was not worry or regret, but an indescribable joy.

Finally meeting again - my best friend, confidant, and...

William pursed the corners of his lips, hiding his unspoken words in layers of thoughts.

Arnold didn't like crowded places, and it wasn't accidental that he appeared there. William just thought about it for a few seconds, and quickly came to the conclusion that the other party's estimated purpose was the same as his own, and it was very likely that he had joined an official secret organization.

Albert, who inquired for him, also brought a positive answer.

"The other party is the current chief of the British Empire's Intelligence Department. He has taken over the British official intelligence network, but now he is mainly responsible for the foreign part."

The elder brother's green eyes were full of worry about him: "Will, do you know him?"

"...I'm fine," Rao was prepared, but William couldn't help but sigh when he heard the answer, "I just didn't expect him to do this... Is it worthy of him. "

Arnold has always hated restraint, but now he is willing to be involved in the huge state machine...

William lowered his eyes, his expression dark and unclear.

"William, is that man going to hinder our plan?" Seeing William's unclear expression, Moran thought that the matter was tricky and suggested, "It's better for us to strike first..."

"Brother..." Louis, who knew the origin of the two of them, looked at him worriedly.

"No, it's not necessary," William let out a long breath, closed his eyes, and said almost calmly, "He won't do anything to me... he will only try to make me change my mind, but I have made up my mind, never It will fall by the wayside.”

He will realize his dream for so many years, and then tell the other party with facts that his idea is not wrong.

Even... the price is his own life.

……

When the final plan was in progress, William stopped briefly in the orphanage where he stayed in the past. He sat in a remote empty room of the orphanage, raised his hand and stroked the only dilapidated wooden table in the room, with a serious expression on his face. I was in a trance for a moment.

It used to be a secret base that he and Arnold discovered by accident. The entrance was so small that he needed to bend over to enter at his current height. The two of them had gathered around that small wooden table countless times, discussing their ideas, thoughts and opinions. , all this is like yesterday.

William lit the candle he carried with him, took out the letter paper and began to write to Arnold:

【Dear Arnold, forgive me for saying goodbye to you in this way... But you also said goodbye to me in the same way back then, so it can be considered even...】

He wrote a lot of content eloquently, but he hesitated to stop writing at the end.

He hesitated for a moment, and finally picked up the letter paper with still ink on it, and handed it over the candle.

The flames engulfed the letter paper all at once.

William quietly watched the letter he was going to send leaving only ashes, and after a long while, he wrote a new letter.

There was only one sentence in the letter.

[I won, Arnold. 】

……

When William woke up, he thought for a moment that he was dreaming.

The touch of the bandage on his body and the dull pain in his left eye told him that all this was not a dream, but a cruel and unavoidable reality.

"Why..." He murmured softly, his red eyes were like fine rubies, which were divided into several pieces under the sunlight, with a fragmented beauty.

"Sorry for disrupting your plans."

A familiar voice sounded at the door.

William was taken aback when he heard it, and immediately struggled to get up, wanting to see with his own eyes whether it was really that person, but before he could react, he heard a "click", and suddenly felt a chill on his wrist.

The chief of the British Empire's intelligence department looked down at him, his handsome face was expressionless, and he announced indifferently and arrogantly.

"You are under arrest, Mr. Criminal."

The author has something to say:

Damn... I overestimated myself, and I have to write another [final]

The last [you are under arrest] is literally... the little professor is currently in the hands of Arnold hhh

(To be honest, the first reaction that popped up in my mind was the prisoner Nahan play cough cough cough)

Unexpectedly, before Arnold left, he had a quarrel with the little professor (in fact, it is not a quarrel, a simple dispute), and the content of the quarrel is too lazy to write, as long as you know that the two have differences on the way to realize the ideal.

The little professor hopes to pass reforms and stimulate the awakening of the people through crimes... Arnold believes that reforms are too slow and useless, and advocates mobilizing the masses to directly overthrow the existing class.

Needless to say, the little professor, the first generation Yunshou was really ruthless.

A small theater:

Arnold who saw the little professor's plan: Damn William, are you a godfather? !

Arnold chose Giotto and Vengley as experiments to see if revolution (armed struggle) could eliminate classes and establish an utopia.

Then he found that the Giotto he picked was also soft-hearted.

Arnold [Vongolai's foul language]: Damn why do I always meet this kind of holy father! ! !

William: smile.jpg

Giotto: wry smile.jpg

And I want to open Otome for the next book... woo woo woo but there is no time code word...

Finally ask for a comment wow!
