Chapter 3: Can I bear this injustice?
Chapter 3: Can I bear this injustice?
Without any hesitation, Richard got up and left the bedroom, walking towards the study not far from the bedroom.
Before he reached the door of the study, the door was opened and a group of men of different ages walked out.
The first time he saw these men, he recognized each of them after digesting his original body's memories.
Marek,Beverly,Noel,Luther,Maika!
In Crimson Manor, Marek and the other four are all the management of the organization.
In other words, except for the original father, the five of them managed different affairs of the organization.
Marek and Beverly are responsible for managing the organization's funds.
Noel and Luther are responsible for training new members of the organization.
As for Maca, he is responsible for the logistics of the organization.
When they saw Richard walking towards the study, Marek and the other four all showed surprised expressions.
His hair?
Has he awakened his super powers?
Richard's hair length and hairstyle are no different from his original self.
But his hair color now is not golden, but silver.
Marek and the other four looked at Richard's silver hair, and the same guess immediately flashed through their minds.
Although dyeing hair can change the color of hair, they don't think that Richard secretly left the manor last night and ran to the town outside to dye his hair.
Since it’s not hair dyeing, the only reason left is the awakening of super powers.
Although no one knew what level of superpower Richard had awakened, Marek, who was walking in front and was a black man, did not hesitate at all. He immediately came up to him and asked kindly:
"Richard, have you awakened your superpowers?"
"What kind of superpowers have you awakened?"
"Would you mind showing it to everyone?"
If it were the original self, he would definitely answer Marek's questions in detail.
But unfortunately, Richard is not the original one.
"I'll talk about what abilities I've awakened later."
"When I was sleeping just now, I seemed to hear you discussing something in the study."
"Are you discussing how to rescue my father?"
"Or are you still discussing how the organization will develop next?"
Richard did not answer Marek's question, but asked him back directly.
Although he knew that they were discussing whether to send him away, he did not hear the final result.
Before officially turning against each other, he felt he needed to confirm it again.
After hearing his words, Marek, who had a kind face just now, suddenly changed his expression and became extremely serious.
"Did you hear everything?"
Marek asked.
"I didn't hear much, I just heard that you were going to vote on whether to send me away."
Richard looked at Marek calmly.
After saying this, he also glanced at Luther and others behind Marek.
When did his hearing become so sharp?
Is it a superpower that has awakened the five senses?
Marek did not answer Richard's question immediately, but frowned and thought for a while.
After a few seconds, he spoke:
"Since you've heard it all, we won't hide it from you."
"Yes, we were indeed voting on whether to send you away."
"Your father has been captured, and your mutant identity must have been exposed."
At this point, Marek paused.
He thought Richard would be very angry when he heard what he said.
Unexpectedly, Richard not only did not show any angry expression, but was also extremely calm, as if the person who was to be sent away was not him at all.
Although he found that Richard was different from before, he did not think much about it and continued:
"After a vote, we decided to send you away for a while."
"Don't worry, we won't let you leave penniless. We will give you a car and thirty thousand...ten thousand US dollars."
"Once we're sure you're not being targeted by mutant agents, we'll bring you back."
Ten thousand dollars?
You guys are really generous!
Richard was still wondering if it would be a bit too much to destroy the organization established by his original father with his own hands.
After all, "Crimson Manor" was the hard work of the original body's father. Now, he felt that he was overthinking.
"A car and $10,000?"
"My father has just been arrested, and you treat me like this. You are really kind and righteous!"
"You must have remembered that it was my father who took you in and brought you here when you had nowhere else to go."
"You really don't feel guilty for doing this?"
Richard asked Marek and the other four.
If just now, Marek just felt that Richard was a little different from before.
Now, he felt that Richard was like a different person.
Richard used to be a cowardly person, and he also had some inferiority complex because he had not awakened his super powers.
And now, not only did he not see any cowardice or inferiority in Richard, but he also felt a strength that he had never felt in Richard before.
"We do this to keep the organization going. If your father were still alive, he would also..."
Before Marek could finish, Richard interrupted him and prepared to execute the plan.
Since you all want to die, I will grant your wish.
"There's no need to say polite words. You want me to leave, right? No problem. Give me the car and the money, and I'll leave right away."
what?
Neither Marek nor Luther and the others expected that Richard would accept this matter so quickly.
Although somewhat surprised, Marek immediately said:
"Okay, we'll give you the car and the money right away."
A few minutes later, in the parking lot in front of the main building of the manor, Richard received the US$10,000 and an ordinary Ford pickup truck prepared by Marek and others.
After opening the envelope and taking a look, he opened the car door and got in without any hesitation.
Then he started the car and drove away without saying a word.
Under the gaze of Marek and others, he quickly disappeared around the corner of the road.
"He won't call the police, will he?" Maca said with a frown.
"If he goes to the police, he will be the first to suffer."
Marek replied quickly.
"I still feel like something's not right with him today. Do you want to find someone to follow him?" Luther looked at Marek.
"Send someone to follow him. If he really calls the police, we can stop him in advance."
Beverly's voice rang out.
Although he felt it was unnecessary, after seeing that Beverly and the others were a little worried, Marek said, "Let Ross and Shane follow him."
"Okay, I'll go inform Ross and Shane right away." Luther nodded.
After that, he walked towards the main building of the manor, preparing for Ross and Shane to follow Richard.
After driving for more than ten minutes, Richard arrived at the town closest to the manor.
Without any hesitation, he went straight to the gas station in the town.
After parking the car, he walked up to the staff and took out two thousand dollars from the envelope.
"Give me 200 gallons of gas."
Gas stations in the United States use gallons as their unit of measurement, with 1 gallon being equivalent to approximately 3.78 liters.
In addition, you can purchase bulk gasoline at gas stations in the United States.
The prerequisite is to have oil storage barrels.
Otherwise, it is illegal to buy bulk gasoline.
Richard didn't have any oil tanks, but that wasn't a problem.
The price of gas in the United States is very cheap, only about $5 per gallon.
$2000 plus 200 gallons of gasoline was enough for the gas station staff to help him prepare the necessary oil tanks.
Although it was a little strange why Richard needed so much gasoline, after seeing the US dollars he handed over, the staff took the US dollars with a smile on their faces: "Okay, sir!"
Within a few minutes, more than a dozen portable gasoline barrels were added to the cabin of the Ford pickup truck.
After purchasing the necessary gasoline, Richard drove the Ford pickup truck back to the manor without any hesitation.
You want to take over the manor and the organization, right?
I would rather burn it down than give it to you!
Can I bear this injustice?
I am a time traveler!
