章節 1272: Edward’s Rise and Alex’s Defeat

Alex's throat moved slightly.

He clenched his fist and continued to be silent.

"When I first met you, you said that I am your brother." Edward seemed to have paused for a moment.

Alex also seemed to recall that image from once upon a time.

That time, Edward was four years old while he was seven.

It was so long ago and Edward still remembered.

"You said, in this world, I am your only family. You will only trust me alone." Edward said silently.

Sometimes it felt like he was telling someone else's story.

"So for a long time, I remember only that one sentence—that one sentence, you said you only trust me alone." Edward's voice was calm when he said, "In order to live up to your trust in me, I worked hard to do everything for you, to help you clear all the obstacles that stand in the way of your great work, to help you do all the cruel and bloody things, to help you step by step, to create history."
