Chapter 2330 Entrusted Funeral Special Consultation
Harry eventually returned to his home with Skye by his side. Of course, the only thing that could greet him from the location of the former Osborne Mansion was the ruins.
Faced with such ruins, Harry was speechless for a long time. It was evident that he seemed to have foreseen it. It's just that when all this is presented in front of him in a realistic way, he still can't accept it. This kind of psychological impact is still too big for him after all. Because what happened here was almost the same as telling him the fact that he had lost everything he had overnight.
No one could be indifferent to such a blow, so from that point of view, Harry's reaction was really normal.
But Skye didn't want Harry to be immersed in this grief and pain all the time, so after he had been silent for a while, she took one of his palms and whispered to him to comfort him.
"Don't be too upset, maybe it's not as bad as you think. Maybe they're still alive. ”
It was the purest form of consolation, and both Skye and Harry knew it. For Skye, it's just a white lie on her part, as she herself is one of the culprits responsible for all this. Whether it was old Osborne or the others who died here, she actually had a number in her heart. As for Harry, having already witnessed his father's death, he had already guessed the approximate result, and what he saw now was just a test of the result. So he won't leave anything to chance at all.
"No need. Do me a favor, I need someone to help me prepare for my funeral. For my father and Hadley, them. Hadley had no children, he served our family for forty years, and to me he was like a relative. So I plan to bury him with my father, and I'll take care of everything as their last relative. I need you to help me, Daisy! ”
"How are you going to let me help you?"
Skye sighed, for her, her mission was already over. But it was out of her own own will that she stayed with Harry now. That's not a good thing for them, because the longer they spend together, the more exposed that complex relationship between them becomes. But now, she couldn't find any reason to refuse Harry, so she could only nod her head and ask him.
"I want you to help me with everything I need for my funeral. The bodies of my father and Hadley were gone, so they had to be buried in a clothed grave. There are a lot of things that need to be done in between, and you may need to do it. There are two things to note. First, we at Osborne don't need to invite any guests to the ceremony. Second, my father was an atheist, so he didn't need any priests to address him. But Hadley is different, he is a believer in the Ming King. I know that King Ming doesn't need anyone to worship him, to pray to him or to ask for it. But I hope you'll find a way to erect a statue of the Lightbringer in front of his tombstone. ”
"Lightbringer? Why? I thought someone his age would like to build a cross in a nostalgic way! ”
"Because of my father. My father almost passed away due to a genetic disease. At that time, almost all medical methods were no longer useful to him. There was only one way for him to die. And at that time, King Ming appeared in this world. And it was because of his gift that my father was lucky enough to get a second life. Hadley was very loyal to my father, so he was also grateful for King Ming's gifts. Since then, he has gone from being an unreligious Catholic to a devout follower of the Ming King. How, doesn't it sound ridiculous! ”
Harry's eyes were filled with sadness as he said these words. It could be seen that he had a deep affection for the old butler. And this also made Skye's heart choke. Because no matter what, the cause of the old housekeeper's death is inseparable from her. Although it was only affected by the old housekeeper in a desperate situation at that time, it was her hand that was her hand after all. This cannot be denied.
Out of guilt, but also out of apologies to Harry. Skye assured him.
"Don't worry. Leave this to me, and I'll take care of it. It's just, what are you going to do? What would require you to leave your father's funeral behind? ”
"I want to get what belongs to me back. And before I can do that, I need to figure out some questions, some very important questions. ”
He raised his head and looked in the direction of the city. Harry's tone suddenly turned cold. He knew that an uphill struggle awaited him. But as a member of the Osborne family, he was not afraid of such a thing. If anyone wants to reach into the territory that belongs to their Osborne family at this time, then let him come. As the heir to the Osborne family, he doesn't mind using a sharp sword to tell him why Osbourne is called that name.
Skye could imagine what Harry and the others would be up to. And knowing Harry's kind nature, she naturally asked worriedly at this time.
"Is there anything I can help with? In the company, you alone are not too powerful. I think I should be able to help you a little. At the very least, you can have one more trustworthy person around you. ”
"Don't worry, I can figure it out. What will jump out now is just a clown jumping off the beam, and you don't need to spend too much thought on them. ”
Smiling and declining Skye's request, Harry turned around and walked outside. Looking at Harry's expression, Skye couldn't help but sink his face. She was worried about Harry because she didn't know if Harry would repeat his father's mistakes. That proved to be the wrong choice. So Skye really didn't want him to be wrong again and again.
But what can she do at this time? It's just a prayer.
Many people are paying attention to Harry's movements. They thought the young man was going to do something stupid. For example, blindly taking over what his father left behind. But to many's surprise, Harry didn't. Instead, he quietly found himself in front of a person.
General Ross, a former member of the Avengers, is now Secretary of Defense. Even in the United States today, he is a pivotal figure. It stands to reason that it wasn't easy for Harry to meet him. Because his current identity is very embarrassing, and such an embarrassing identity can easily make him eat something like a closed door.
However, he still met with General Ross. And the reason for this is because General Ross owes the Osborne family a favor.
When S.H.I.E.L.D. was still controlled by Pierce, General Ross took Pierce's words and started a war against mutants without authorization. And when everything ended in a fiasco, he, the culprit, naturally had to be punished by the law. At that time, he would probably spend the rest of his life in prison.
But because of Osborne, he was released on bail and was eligible to be reformed by the Red Hulk. This eventually makes him a superhero and allows him to return to the realm to which he belongs as a hero. Old Osborne had a grace to reinvent him! Although the process was not pleasant, and the purpose of the elder Osborne was not pure. But for now, that wasn't enough reason for him to refuse to meet Harry. So soon, Harry was in his office.
"It's hard to see you, Your Excellency. I thought I'd be invited out by the guards at the door? ”
As soon as Harry saw General Rose's face, he took out a tone of voice that hid a needle in his words. Obviously, he was very unhappy with the treatment he had suffered. Seeing his dissatisfiedness, General Ross lit himself a cigar and took two puffs vigorously. Then he said this meaningfully.
"You should be glad you still see me, instead of complaining about me anything! Little Mr. Osborne, you don't know how much of this is something for me to consider. ”
"Considerations? Is there anything that requires you to ignore my father's affections? ”
Harry didn't understand what General Rose was saying, and he asked him this. And in the face of his very immature words, General Ross only showed a contemptuous smile.
"Looks like you don't know what's going on, do you? Then I'm curious, why are you here. What are you coming to me for? ”
"I want to know from you the details of a guy, a guy who looks like a skeleton and has blue flames burning all over his body!"
With the shape of a spider in his mouth, Harry gritted his teeth and told General Ross what he meant. Hearing his words, General Ross immediately shook his head.
"What, you want revenge? That's why you want to get any information from me? ”
"Of course, otherwise what do you think I'm coming to you for?"
Harry raised his eyebrows and asked in surprise. And looking at his expression, the smile on General Ross's face suddenly became even more contemptuous.
"I have to say, Mr. Osborne, Jr. I was disappointed by your answer. I thought you'd want to ask something more meaningful! ”
"Something more meaningful?"
"That's right. For example, the wrong things your father committed. Also, what do you have to pay to take over the wealth that your father left you. I think that's your priority, but I didn't expect you to ask me that question. ”
Directly extinguishing the cigar in his hand, General Ross suddenly stood up and said to him in a condescending manner.
"Well, choose one or the other. I just asked you and what you want to know, you can choose one and let me tell you the answer. It's like repaying your father's favor. This should be the only help I can give you! ”
