After a big meal, Lin Qiming returned to his room.
He tossed and turned in bed, his mind filled with random thoughts. He didn't know how many times he tossed and turned before he fell into a deep sleep when the moon was at its highest point in the sky.
The lights in the huge manor slowly went out, and only the faint moonlight sprinkled on the ground, so that one could barely see the road under his feet.
The master bedroom on the second floor of the castle slowly opened a gap, and a slender figure looked back at her unconscious husband, tiptoed up her skirt and stepped barefoot up the spiral staircase to go downstairs.
Elizabeth looked back every few steps, for fear that someone would go out to urinate in the middle of the night and run into her.
When the moonlight shone on her face, her beautiful face had a touch of ethereality, but her tiptoeing movements destroyed the beauty, and instead gave off a sense of incongruity of burglary.
She trotted all the way to the outer stables, and heard her pinching her throat and imitating a few owl calls.
"Hoot, hoot, hoot!"
The next second, footsteps sounded in the stable, and a man with messy hair but deep and three-dimensional features ran out, eagerly hugging Elizabeth's slender waist with both hands.
"Dear Elizabeth, I thought you were not coming today!"
"You don't know how much I miss you. Every time I see John holding your hand, I want to stick a dung fork into his ass. I really love you so much and I'm so jealous of him!"
He said and wanted to beg for a kiss, but Elizabeth blocked it with her hand.
"Thomas, you only have dirty thoughts in your mind. I came here to tell you that James is cured!
She thought that after saying this, the man would be as happy as she was.
But Thomas Logan just curled his lips and whispered indifferently.
"So what? Do you dare to tell him that his biological father is a gardener?"
"James has never called me father since he was a child, but you want me to love him like a father. Elizabeth, I can't do it. Don't you think this is ridiculous?"
"You finally come out once, let's forget those troubles and enjoy happiness to the fullest!"
He hugged Elizabeth forcefully, lowered his head and kissed her tender red lips fiercely.
The big hand on her pink back touched her dishonestly, slowly pinched the zipper of her long skirt and was about to pull it down. Listening to each other's increasingly heavy breathing, the dry wood and the fire were about to burn with a spark.
""Ouch, why did you bite me?"
Thomas felt a sharp pain in his lower lip, subconsciously let go of his arms, and reached out to touch his wet lips. A conspicuous red liquid appeared on his fingers, and the fresh smell of blood rushed into his nose, which also made the impatient man furious. If he was not afraid of being discovered, he would have shouted angrily.
Elizabeth wiped the blood from her lips, and her bright blue eyes were full of disappointment and regret.
"Thomas, you disappoint me so much. Is it true that you only love my body?"
"James is our son, but it was inconvenient for you to visit him when he was seriously ill. I came here specially to tell you that he was well, but you were indifferent and only wanted to sleep with me!"
As a mother, she could not accept this cruel thing, and she felt that she was blind to commit herself to the gardener in front of her and secretly meet with him at night without telling her husband.
"I think we shouldn't meet again. Since you don't love James, just keep our relationship a secret in your heart!"
"He will inherit the Howlett name and the huge family business, and become a gentleman in the upper class, not a gardener or groom with dirty thoughts in his head!"
Thomas became more and more angry as he listened, and his extreme inferiority complex gave rise to extreme tyranny.
"Madam, your words seem to be completely opposite to your actions six years ago, right?"
Eliza was speechless. The mistakes she made when she was young could not be made up.
She was worried that the secret could not be exposed, so as not to let her son James lose his noble status. She could only beg in a low voice.
"I beg you, Thomas, for James, this mistake should not continue!"
Unfortunately, none of them noticed that in addition to the horses, there was a tall and strong figure hiding in the corner of the last stable in the stable. In the darkness, his pupils actually emitted a faint brown light.
"James is my child and I want to be a good father, but do I have the chance?"
"His last name is Howlett, not Logan!"
Thomas Logan and Elizabeth were both afraid of each other and argued quietly, not wanting to alarm others.
A sound of wood hitting each other was heard, interrupting the two people who were still arguing.
""Who's there? Get out of here!"
Thomas Logan shouted angrily, then stood up, picked up the wooden stick behind the door, and walked towards the depths of the stable.
Elizabeth's face turned pale as paper in an instant, and she turned over from the haystack, trying to take the opportunity to escape from the clutches of the man in front of her.
The moonlight was dim and she couldn't see the road clearly. She staggered and ran with her tattered skirt, fleeing towards the castle.
After searching all corners of the stable and finding no one, Thomas Logan did not come back angrily with a stick.
Elizabeth had already run away, which made him furious, and he started to smash things in the stable.
"Damn bastard, if I find out who sneaked into the stable late at night, I will stuff his head into the manger!"
After venting his anger, Thomas Logan returned to his house with a gloomy face.
He grabbed the unfinished brandy on the table and recalled the happy times with Elizabeth in the past few years while drinking it.
After drinking one sip of strong liquor after another, the unvented lust gradually rose to his head. Thomas Logan turned over from the hardwood bed, took down the shotgun hanging on the wall, came to the door of his son's room, banged on the door fiercely and shouted:
"Get out of here, you little bastard, and go to the castle with your father!
"���After the broken wooden door was opened, a tall and strong boy walked out. His appearance was still childish, but he was much taller and more muscular than his peers, and as strong as a mountain tiger.
Thomas Logan patted his son's broad shoulders and started to talk nonsense drunkenly.
"My good son Victor, let me tell you, the most beautiful woman should belong to the strongest man!"
"Come with your father, let's go to the castle and bring Elizabeth back to me. I will give you a brother or sister and make our Logan family stronger!"
He staggered out of the door with a gun in his hand, and Victor Logan behind him had a beastly look in his eyes.
The father and son sneaked into the castle quietly without alerting the musketeers living nearby. As old men who had worked in the Howlett family for more than 20 years, they knew that any musketeer could easily kill them.
After walking up the spiral staircase to the second floor, Thomas Logan looked at the third floor and shrank his neck.
The reputation of Bloodsong was not exaggerated, but the fierceness that was nurtured by blood and fire as he led the musketeers to fight the natives with real swords and guns, and fought with the bandits lurking in the mountains and forests.
Victor Logan saw his father's cowardice and showed a sarcastic sneer at the corner of his mouth.
""Father, forget it. Old Mr. Howlett is not easy to mess with!"
He said this deliberately. After knowing that the young master he served was actually his half-brother, the seeds of jealousy took root overnight.
Today is a good opportunity to make James fall from the upper class to the bottom. Victor Logan will not allow his cowardly but face-saving father to retreat, and deliberately use the fierceness of old Howlett to stimulate him.
"Fuck the blood pine, what about old Howlett? I can blow his head off with one shot!"
Maybe it was the alcohol that made him brave, maybe it was lust that made him lose his mind, and he didn't want to lose face in front of his son, Thomas Logan was in a dilemma, he walked to the door of the master bedroom, kicked it open and yelled:
"Elizabeth, come with me, I will take you far away!"
Elizabeth, who had just changed her clothes, jumped out of bed in fright, and the loud noise also woke up the drunk John Howlett. He rubbed his sleepy eyes and asked in confusion.
"Thomas, are you crazy? Why are you coming to my place so drunk late at night?"
Lin Qiming in the guest room was also awakened by the loud noise. He got up from the bed, opened the door, and quickly ran out of the room silently, heading for the second floor.
Old Howlett upstairs, perhaps because he was exhausted and had drunk some wine, just turned over and did not wake up, until a rather dull gunshot rang out, awakening the old man who was particularly sensitive to gunshots.
He threw himself under the bed, took out a short-handled shotgun from the secret compartment, loaded the bullets neatly, and ran downstairs in a hurry. The second floor was where the second and third generations of the Howlett family lived, and there was no room for any accidents.
Just as he stepped onto the floor of the corridor on the second floor, another gunshot was heard, and soon after, waves of men's painful howlings rang out, as tragic as being tortured in hell.
Old Howlett ran to the master bedroom panting, and after seeing the scene inside, his cheeks twitched, his gray beard almost stood up, and he pointed at Logan and his son who broke into the castle and was speechless.
""Okay, okay, you two are so ambitious that you actually broke into the castle with guns. Are you going to rebel?"
After he finished scolding, he found that his son John Howlett had dull eyes and stood like a wooden stake. He did not have the slightest anger after his territory was invaded. Instead, he looked like a loser who failed in the competition for a spouse.
The doctor who was finally invited to treat his grandson was pinching Thomas Logan with one hand and Victor Logan with the other. A shotgun that was still smoking fell at their feet.
"Mr. Lin, do you know what happened?"
Hearing the question from old Howlett, Lin Qiming shook his head.
When he arrived at the scene, he only had time to deflect the bullet aimed at John Howlett, and then he was shot by Thomas Logan. If he hadn't reacted quickly to avoid it, he would have been shot in the chest.
Old Howlett had an ominous premonition, and looked sharply at his daughter-in-law who was huddled in the corner.
"Tell me the truth, Elizabeth, why did the Logans kill John?"
Elizabeth held her head with both hands, tearing her hair and screaming.
"I don't know, I don't know, I don't know anything!"
Her panicked expression and words had already made the shrewd old Howlett guess a clue, but when he got old, he was not as decisive as when he was young. Instead, he looked at Thomas Logan with his last hope.
"Thomas Logan, you have worked at the estate for more than 20 years and you know my methods very well."
"If you don't tell me the truth, I have plenty of ways to make people want to live but not to die. Now I'll give you a chance, don't treat me like a fool and deceive me!"
Thomas Logan lowered his head, not daring to look him in the eye, tightly shut his mouth and said nothing.
On the other hand, Victor Logan, who was also lifted up in the air, had a slightly raised mouth, although his cheeks were flushed, as if he was excited by the scene in front of him, especially when he saw his jealous brother James Howlett appear at the door, he grinned and laughed.
"Hahaha, James, you are finally here!"
"My dear brother, you don't even say hello to your own father when you see him?"
Old Howlett swayed a few times and almost fell to the ground. John
Howlett came to his senses at this time, stretched out his hand to support his father, and stared fiercely at the two people who brought shame to his family.
"Thomas Logan, I won't let you go, including your freak son!"
"If my father hadn't taken you in, you would have starved to death in the wilderness. Now you have seduced my wife and given birth to a bastard. My Howlett family will never tolerate such a shame!"
Hearing her husband say this, Elizabeth's expression became even more painful.
She threw herself at John Howlett's feet, hugged his thighs and begged
"No, don't do that, John James is innocent!"
"He respects you and your father very much, and is proud to be a member of the Howlett family. You shouldn't treat him like this. I beg you to forgive all your sins and not blame James!"The young Wolverine James Howlett witnessed the quarrel between several people and analyzed the truth from their words.
His pupils shrank to the size of a needle tip, and a powerful force surged in his muscles and bones. He roared at everyone.
"You have such ugly faces, I've had enough of this dirty place!"
