Chapter 519: What are your conditions?
As soon as my words left my mouth, everyone in the room turned pale.
Nathanael was stunned, and then, his complexion completely dimmed, his teeth clenched.
Everyone, their eyes fell on Myron Baron, including me.
Myron Baron's hand that landed on my shoulder froze violently, where was the certainty in his eyes from a moment ago, and he flatly rejected my proposal, his tone firm, "No."
"So, you're lying to me! No matter how risky it is, this is something that is ultimately risky!"
I pushed him away as hard as I could, tears rolling out of my eyes, "Myron Baron, did you ever think of me when you did something like this! Did you think about Andy and Isabelle? What would we do if anything happened to you? Heh, failing health, failing immunity, and maybe even loss of life ..."
"Those are all extremely small probabilities, don't you listen to Johnathan scare you."
"Then you let me go! I'm willing to go, okay ... count on me begging you ..."
It was clear to me that if we couldn't get the antidote from Nathanael, then this thing, there was no avoiding it.
The one who was poisoned was his mother, and I couldn't say anything about not going to do it.
But if it can't be avoided, then I'd rather I do it.
I don't want to be scared and worry about his health day after day.
I'm scared enough that he's gone blind once, and I feel like I'll break down if anything else happens to his body.
Myron Baron held me tightly into his arms despite my resistance, no matter if I hit him or struggled, he didn't let go a little bit, his voice fell on my ears, "Yorlien, listen to me, Benjamin has experience, he'll control the risks, don't be afraid, I told you, I'll be sure to... ..."
"I can give you the antidote."
Nathanael, who had been silent all this time, spoke abruptly, throwing out a sentence in a very light voice.
Myron Baron moves in a daze, and I take this opening to break away from him and look at Nathanael in disbelief, "Really, really?"
Nathanael reaches out to wipe away my tears, but pulls back stiffly just as his fingertips are about to touch my cheeks and smiles weakly, "Well, really."
"What do you want? Besides Yorlien."
Myron Baron's eyes scrutinized and he swept me up into his arms, asserting his sovereignty.
"You'll give me anything I want?" Nathanael cocked her head, inquiring.
"You name it."
"I want to make your father pay for my mother's death, can you give that?"
I froze.
Wholly unexpected, Nathanael would make such a, well, impossible request.
How could Myron Baron pay when his father was already dead.
Myron Baron was not surprised, thin lips lightly opened, "Your mother's death, was the fault of the driver who caused the accident that year, he also got the punishment he deserved, if we say the responsibility, he is our The Baron family's driver, we The Baron family more or less have the responsibility, but the responsibility, but the responsibility, but also in that year, and your father talked about it. It was done."
"You lie!"
Nathanael's eyes churned with hate, "Your father was the one driving! He was the one who got a DUI! The driver was just a scapegoat!"
"Who did you hear that from? The driver, back then, has been released from jail, if you don't believe me, you can go to him and ask him about it." Myron Baron's brow furrowed in disbelief.
"I accidentally heard it from my father's wife, she always knows, doesn't she, do you still want to cover up for your father?"
"Nathanael, when did you hear that? Did it ever occur to you that your father's wife has no children at her knees, and she would have loved for you to have fallen out with your father."
Myron Baron hit the nail on the head.
I combined it with what Nathanael had told me earlier and made sense of it.
If it had nothing to do with Myron Baron's father, but Nathanael happened to hear what his father's wife said, and therefore thought day after day of seeking justice from The Baron family, who had nothing to do with the matter in fact, it was only natural that Nathanael's father would lose patience with him.
Hence the decision to send him away from N City.
The only thing Nathanael's father's wife didn't anticipate was that by sending Nathanael away, she would still be unable to have children for many years, and would have to watch THE Lora family fall into the hands of Nathanael's illegitimate son.
Nathanael thought of it quicker than I did, and he shook his head slowly, growling low in anger, "It can't be! It can't be!"
Myron Baron spoke without a moment's hesitation, "Yes or no, go home and ask your father's wife, she should be willing to tell you the truth by now, after all, you've already taken power over THE Lora family, and you'll be directly losing her interests if you offend THE Baron family again."
"No ..."
Nathanael mouthed "no", but his emotions eased a little.
After a long time, he tilted his head and let out a cloudy breath, seemingly, accepting the truth.
He knew very well that Myron Baron wasn't lying to him when he could say that he should go home and ask his father's wife.
Yale lazily opened his mouth, "Young Master Nathanael, even if you don't believe me, what you've done to The Baron family over the years, is enough, isn't it? Or, do you want me to say in front of my sister-in-law how you used ... in the first place?"
"Yale."
Myron Baron went over with a cold stare, blocking out the rest of Yale's words.
With that said, he looks to Nathanael, "Tell me, what are your conditions for giving the antidote?"
Nathanael's eyes swept over me and hesitated for a moment, his eyes drooping slightly as he made his decision, "AI technology."
"Yes."
I froze, and before my mind could even begin to spin, I heard Myron Baron agree without hesitation.
I looked at him in dismay.
He had put his life on the line and engineered a fake death in order to keep this technology.
And now it was being given out so easily!
He rubbed my head soothingly and his gaze fell on Nathanael, "I can give it to you now, you give me the antidote."
The night was long.
"Tomorrow, five o'clock in the afternoon, Kashiwagoe Hotel, third floor, western restaurant, and have Yorlien bring the technology in exchange."
"No way!"
Myron Baron refused categorically, his tone one of peremptory coldness.
Nathanael looked at me and smiled faintly, "the Lora Group is going to set up a branch abroad, I applied to work in the foreign branch, tomorrow might be the last time we eat together, don't reject me again, okay?"
Inexplicably, his smile carried an indescribable sourness.
I pressed down my emotions, "Can't we change the other conditions?"
"Uh, no."
"Then I promise."
Kashiwagoe Hotel is owned by the Darin Group, so there must be no problem with security.
Moreover, looking at Nathanael's appearance, it seemed that he had really dismissed other ideas.
Myron Baron tried to block it, and I tilted my head to look at him, "Let Jerome accompany me, okay?"
That way, he wouldn't have to worry about the safety.
When he heard me say that, he looked to Nathanael, his voice already unpleasant and cold, "Bring someone, okay?"
"Yes."
Nathanael glanced at Jerome and didn't care, lifting his steps and preparing to leave.
When he passed me, his eyes flashed with a trace of pain, but his face raised a smile that I had seen a thousand times before, gentle and warm, "I'll see you tomorrow."
Like, everything had never happened.
"Big brother, do you really want to take the AI technology in exchange?"
Yale asked a little doubtfully.
Myron Baron nodded his head, his voice was light, "Anything more important is not as important as human life."
