Chapter 662: Past Events
Gabriel decisively rejected Samer's invitation and drew his weapon.
Sameer was also very straightforward. He nodded to the Fatui and said, "Let's do it."
Su said that it is better to move heaven than to take action.
The Red King's Mausoleum had plenty of sand and rocks. The rock element condensed them into a huge meteorite, and a "meteor" was fired, and the Fatui lay all over the ground.
Sameer's gloomy voice sounded from outside the hall, "I didn't expect that these useless things couldn't even delay time in your hands."
"You are one step ahead! But it doesn't matter. Remember, I am the poisonous snake of the treasure house. Every shadow behind you may have my trace..."
Su took out the stone slab and slammed the stone door of the hall shut, "Get away!"
If Sameer doesn't leave, he will continue to spread rumors and sow discord among the people.
Sameer called Gabriel the sand of betrayal, saying that he had betrayed his best partner and would betray his current team sooner or later.
In the desert, among mercenaries, the greatest sin is betrayal.
Jade was angry and anxious, "My dad is not that kind of person!"
Gabriel admitted, "I was once a member of the Gilded Brigade of Thutmose, just like him. But later, I betrayed him and Thutmose."
Jade asked in disbelief, "There must be a reason, right?!"
Gabriel, who had always avoided talking about his past, finally talked about his past.
Gabriel and Samel were from the same tribe and later formed the Gilded Brigade called Thutmose.
In order to uncover the secret of the Red King's treasure, the Golden Dreamland, Thutmose sent Gabriel to the rain forest to "invite" the scholar Yufi Hindi away, hoping to rely on her knowledge to solve the problem left by Akhmara.
Upon hearing this, Tirzad's eyes widened, and he rushed over on tiptoe and grabbed Gabriel's collar, "You! It's you!"
Yufi Hindi's disappearance was a kidnapping! Not an elopement as her family originally thought!
Tirzad punched Gabriel several times, and Gabriel took it without saying a word.
In the end, it was Sora who pulled Tirza away, "Let him finish explaining the situation first."
Gabriel said that he was both Yufi's guard and her bodyguard, and they explored various ruins in the desert together.
"There is a huge space beneath the Red King's Mausoleum, and we have left our footprints in thousands of palaces. Our exploration over the years has not been fruitless, but... these results are not enough to satisfy Thutmose."
Tirzad suddenly thought of something and looked at Jade. "The 'results' you mentioned, don't they include Jade?"
Gabriel was silent for a moment, then nodded, "Jade, this is the treasure that Youfei left for me."
At first, Gabriel thought of himself as an insignificant grain of sand, and he did what Thutmose wanted him to do.
Later, he took Youfei away. As they got along, he was moved, enlightened, and finally attracted by this intelligent and tolerant woman.
He could not forget what Yufei had said to him: "If you must have a master, why can't it be me, Yufei Hindi?"
After Jade was born, Gabriel could no longer tolerate Samel's behavior. Finally, he and Yufi decided to take Jade away from the desert and Thutmose temporarily, saying that they had encountered a bottleneck in their research.
"But Sameer saw through my weakness." Gabriel closed his eyes. "A scholar who cannot solve the mystery of Akhmar for Thutmose is of no value to him."
"He even thought that I was like him. Without Euphie, I had no reason to leave Thutmose."
"My wife, Jade's mother, was killed by him."
Gabriel confessed his mistakes, "If it weren't for me, Yufei would have a better future, at least she wouldn't have lost her life so young... It was me who failed to protect her."
Tirzad rushed forward again in anger, "If it weren't for you! She would have been a master of many books now! If it weren't for you! She would have been alive and well now!"
"You ruined her life! You killed her! How have you been able to sleep all these years!"
The three members of the Traveler Team huddled aside and watched the scene silently, and no one said a word of dissuasion.
Go ahead and fight. With Tirzad’s physical fitness, he can’t kill Gabriel.
"Enough!" Jade rushed between the two and stood in front of Gabriel. "The real enemy is Sameer, right? Dad, let's go out and kill him!"
Gabriel shook his head. "If I can get Youfei's life back by letting Sameer pay off this blood debt, I won't hesitate even if I have to kill him ten or a hundred times."
But killing Samel would not bring back Yufei's life. At that time, he had to live to raise Jade and protect the treasures Yufei left him.
Gabriel: "And I don't want Jade to be trapped in past hatred. I just want her to be away from these negative emotions that are not beneficial to her."
In the process of raising Jade, he clearly felt the ancestral Zhenling blood in Jade. This blood gave Jade superhuman strength, but also made her prone to madness because of hatred.
Jade shook her head with tears in her eyes. She had never thought that the past that she had been asking her father about would be like this. She regretted it.
She really wanted to know what happened in the past, how her father and mother met and fell in love, what roads they had walked and what scenery they had seen... not this cruel truth.
Gabriel lived in the rainforest with young Jade, never talking about the past and never going near the desert.
Gabriel looked at Tirzad. "Until I saw you holding the tablet, the one I sent back..."
When Gabriel saw Tirzad holding a stone tablet and recruiting mercenaries to go to the desert, he learned that the full name of this foolish scholar who did not understand the value of the stone tablet and was almost taken away and killed was Tirzad Hindi, so he took the initiative to accept his employment.
"It was as if fate had allowed me to get a glimpse of the golden dreamland that Akhmar had promised me, fulfilling the long-cherished wish of Yufei and me."
"I will protect Tirzad until everything is over in accordance with our previous agreement." Then, go and settle his blood debt.
Sameer has come to the door, and he will not let Jade go.
Sameer will not be a threat to Jade because he will eliminate the threat for Jade.
"I'm sorry, Jade, for keeping it a secret from you for so long." Gabriel looked at his daughter. "I'm not good at speaking. I can't even describe one thousandth of Euphie's wonderful qualities with my words. But if you're willing to listen, I'll tell you everything I know now."
Jade wanted to hear but was also afraid. She didn't know what she was afraid of, but she couldn't stop her body from shaking.
"I... I feel confused right now," Jade held onto Gabriel's arm tightly, "Dad, I want to listen to that ballad. I feel like listening to it will make me feel calmer."
Gabriel nodded. "This ballad is also from Youfei... She interpreted it from the documents of Akhmar."
Amid the low and gentle song of Gabriel, Jade, with tears in her eyes, slowly calmed down and fell into a deep sleep.
