Mulan chuckled, "Oh, look at you, how can you say there's no relation? Cousins are still siblings, right?"
Cain added, "Yeah, we're all carrying the blood of the Morton Family! Ha, young people just love to joke around!"
Kellen Morton sneered through his nose, "The blood of the Morton Family? Too bad, you're not worthy of it..."
His eyes were cold and devoid of any emotion.
"When my grandfather sacrificed himself and my parents were killed, I returned to Nan City to look for you guys."
"You know what happened?" Kellen Morton mocked with a sneer, "You guys were afraid of being implicated, so as soon as I arrived at the bus station, you quickly found someone to drive me out of the city."
"The next day, your whole family moved to the coastal region."
He couldn't find them!
At the age of seven, he was overwhelmed by the fear and confusion of losing his closest family, driving him to instinctively search for relatives to seek refuge.
But unfortunately... he had no one.
Thirty years later, who would have thought that the seven-year-old child would survive?
Susie Murray didn't know how, but as she listened to her father's indifferent account of his past, her heart slowly overflowed with sadness.
So, this tall man who was taller than the door frame was once like her?
No family, no parents, and even others treated him like a scapegoat.
Susie Murray pressed her lips together and silently hugged Kellen Morton's neck.
Feeling the little one's dependence on him, Kellen Morton's words faltered.
Susie Murray's soft hair brushed against his neck, making his heart soften.
"Hmm?" Kellen Morton raised an eyebrow.
Was this little one... feeling sorry for him?
Kellen Morton's heart warmed slightly.
The Mortons were exposed by Kellen Morton, and for a moment, they didn't know what to say, and could only awkwardly laugh it off, "This, this, there must be some misunderstanding..."
Everyone finally understood when they heard it - Cain and his grandfather were actually cousins! When they found out that their cousin was exposed and killed, they were afraid of being implicated, so they drove away their nephew who was searching for relatives and even moved out overnight.
When the Morton Family first arrived in Los Angeles, they were not like this. They kept talking about how tragic their eldest brother was, and how they wished they could replace him. When they sent out the invitations, they even said that the War God was their own grandson.
This caused confusion among those who were not very familiar with the details, and they really thought that Sean Morton, who had sacrificed himself, was their real elder brother.
"Even between cousins' grandchildren, there is still a level of separation, not to mention the great-grandfather generation of cousins. Does this count as distant relatives?"
"When they ran away so quickly, they were afraid of being implicated. But when it came to taking credit, they ran even faster! They haven't looked for their cousin's nephew in over a decade, but when they heard that he became a War God, they rushed to recognize him as family again..."
"They're really shameless."
"If Mu Commander was just an ordinary person, would they still recognize him?"
"Definitely not. Look at the Murray Family. They brought Miss Susie Murray, but they didn't even recognize her. They think only people from the officialdom are worthy of dealing with them."
As they listened to the openly spoken discussions of the crowd, Mu's old lady felt suffocated.
Cain's face turned red, as if they had been covering themselves with a fig leaf all along, and now that fig leaf had been lifted. They had lost face and couldn't show themselves...
Laszlo reacted quickly and quickly said, "Second Grandpa, Cousin has come all the way. Let's go inside and talk first!"
He looked at Kellen Morton and nodded with a warm smile. "Cousin, what do you think?"
Mu's old lady hurriedly said, "Yes, yes, yes, Little Fan, let's go inside and talk first...let's go inside and talk..."
Cain said, "You must be tired from coming all the way here. Please come in quickly..."
The Morton Family's faces grew hotter and hotter, wanting to invite Kellen Morton in first. Keep the family shame private, and once they're inside and the door is closed, even if it's ugly, only they would know, and they wouldn't be laughed at by others...
But they didn't expect Kellen Morton to look at Susie Murray again.
"Little brat, do you want to go in?" Kellen Morton asked.
Before Susie Murray could speak, Mu's old lady quickly persuaded her, "Good Susie Murray, let's go inside first, okay? Look, Granny has prepared a cake for you..."
"There are many fun toys inside, like Barbie dolls!"
Susie Murray shook her head. "I don't want your cake. And I don't want your toys."
Although she loves to eat cake, it doesn't mean she will eat any cake. Why treat her like a child? Old Lady Mu is about to cough up blood. She just wanted to drive Susie Murray away a moment ago, but now she didn't expect to ask her to come in so soon, and yet she still refuses to come in! If they knew it would turn out this way, they shouldn't have been so harsh on her earlier.
Kellen Morton said, "Wantao, go get my grandfather's plaque." Wantao is Kellen Morton's subordinate, whose surname is Wan. His parents originally wanted to name him 'Roger', but they thought it was too common and added four drops of water to make it "Wan Tao." Wan Tao was sent by his superiors to supervise Kellen Morton, so he wouldn't go too far or cause trouble. But could he really control him? Wan Tao sighed to himself and answered "yes," and then went inside to get the plaque.
Leaving aside everything else, this plaque is really not suitable for the Morton Family. It's a disgrace to the hero! Cain and Old Lady Mu never thought that Kellen Morton would take down the plaque! They only got to where they are now because of the merits that this plaque brought them. If Kellen Morton takes it away, what will they do? Old Lady Mu quickly followed in.
Cain anxiously said, "Xiaofan! You're going too far!" A person with a twisted sense of values muttered quietly, "Yeah, it's too petty... Those things from the past happened so long ago, can relatives still hold a grudge over not helping themselves? Helping is an act of kindness, not helping is also one's duty..." Susie Murray found it strange. What act of kindness, what duty? Her tall dad just wants to take back his own thing, isn't that normal?
Kellen Morton raised his eyebrows, arrogantly and coldly saying, "There is something even better. Don't worry." He looked around and said coldly, "I, Kellen Morton, have never been a generous person. I don't recognize the idea that helping me is a kindness or not helping me is a duty in front of these people."
"My grandfather's plaque, what identity did they use to get it? They actually have more reasons to have it than me, their own grandson!" It's just a plaque. He didn't even hit them. He's already being generous, and they can't demand too much from him. The person who muttered earlier looked ashamed and immediately stopped talking. Wan Tao had already brought the plaque out, and the Morton Family Old Lady was following behind, wanting to grab it back.
Kellen Morton looked around expressionlessly and said, "Today, I will make it clear - I, Kellen Morton, have nothing to do with the Morton Family."
"If the Morton Family dares to use my grandfather's name to deceive people in the future, don't blame me for being impolite." Susie Murray nodded heavily, "Yes, don't be polite!" She pouted and showed her two small tiger teeth, looking fierce. Kellen Morton hooked his lips, holding Susie Murray in one hand and throwing his grandfather's plaque onto the off-road vehicle with the other hand. Then he gently...
Then he gently placed Susie Murray on the seat, and his pitch-black eyes were full of laughter,
"Sit tight, little one. Daddy will take you home."
Martin Murray, who had been observing calmly all along, suddenly came to his senses. Something was not right. How could Susie Murray be taken away like this?
"Wait!" Martin Murray said with a cold face and immediately chased after them.
The arrogant off-road vehicle crashed through the Morton Family's shaky iron gate with a bang and disappeared into the night.
Martin Murray, "..."
"..."
Damn it.
Wan Tao opened his mouth.
Master... just as I said, did you forget something?
