Chapter 34
At once, Alessio led Derick to the base central field where the spies were made to kneel on the floor.
The spies were five and they all had their hands chained heavily to the back. Their legs and necks also
had shackles around it. These spies were four young men and one old woman.
They even sent an old woman as spy? Derrick thought to himself, "as you can already know, I, the god
of war do not spare my enemies. I kill. Did you people not know about me before embarking on this
task?"
He removed his dagger at once and slaughtered the four men, blood gushed heavily from their neck
and the entire floor got litered with blood. The sight was so scary. Then he said to Alessio, "send their
heads over to Aurora Island and tell them to send more spies."
"Got it, sir." Alessio said and had their head put in a bag. He immediately took the heads of those men
away.
He then looked at the old woman, "even you? As old as you are, you took on these task."
"Will you kill your own mother?" The woman asked and Derrick squinted his eyes.
"Mother?" Derrick repeated.
"You can't kill me cause I'm your mother. Bring Katherine over here." She said.
She even knows Katherine? Derrick immediately ordered for Katherine to be brought. Once Katherine
laid her eyes on the old woman, she screamed, "miss Gina." She remembered her clearly. This was the
woman she served her sentence with. The woman that was to be executed but mysteriously escaped
from prison.
She knelt before the woman and hugged her dearly, after she disengaged, she asked," why are you in
chains, miss Gina? What's wrong? I have gone to the prison to look for you but I didn't find you?"
Derrick was stupefied. Was this woman his mother? The one who had been sending letters to him for
years yet never showed up to h? Is this how she decided to show up her face before him? Why was
she working for an enemy country? Different thoughts filled his heart.
"Is she the one who drew the doubled headed butterfly tattoo in your hands?" Derrick asked Katherine
who repeatedly nodded her head in response.
Katherine, looking at Derick said, "yes, she's the one I served my sentence with many years ago."
Derick set his gaze on the woman, who still looked very strange to him and asked, "you are the one
who had been anonymously writing letters to me?"
"I am. And I'm your mother." She said but Derrick didn't believe her.
"Marshall, can you please release her from this shackles?" Katherine asked.
"She's caught spying for Aurora Island," Derrick said to Katherine.
"Miss Gina... Ha! Why would you do such?" Katherine looked at her and asked.
The woman looked at Gerald and smiled, "son, I'm glad I can finally look you face to face."
"You are not my mother. Don't think I'll believe you are my mother just with these few words you are
saying," Derrick said and suddenly remembered his nightmare then he asked, "if you are my mother,
then tell me how my father died?"
Without thinking twice, she answered, "he was beaten to death many years ago by a rich man that he
was owing a huge sum of money."
Derrick's heart skipped in fear. So his nightmare was right?
Nonetheless, he kept his face calm and kept looking at her. Derrick had never told this nightmare to
anyone.
"Why are you working for Aurora Island then?" Derrick asked.
"Because the god of war of Aurora Island saved me from the prison that Western Ocean City kept me
for years. Western Ocean City sentenced me to death but Aurora Island god of war saved me. So how
can I not serve him?" She asked.
"Serve him? Even if it means betraying your own son?" Derrick asked. "Plus why would Aurora Island
god of war save you? What connection do you have with him?"
"He's my son as well." She said, "release me from these chains then we can talk better."
"No." Derrick replied angrily, "how many sons do you have, miss Gina?" Derrick asked.
"There are only two god of wars in the world and the two men are my sons. I had to volunteer to be
amidst the spies sent to you so I can use the medium to expose these secret to you. Don't fight with
your brother, please."
"I don't have a brother. I don't have parents either," Derrick said. He would never believe the nonsense
coming out of the old woman's mouth.
"Plus who is Aurora Island god of war to think he can tell me whom to marry? So marrying Donna will
stop the fight? Never!" Derrick said determinedly. Têxt belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.
"Because of how Katherine served me when we were in the prison, I wrote to you to marry her when I
heard that she's coming to serve in your base as a Surgeon General. Of course, I still want you to
marry her. But then, I don't want war," Gina said.
"I should have slaughtered you before you even have a chance to say a word," Derrick said regretfully
but held tightly until his dagger nonetheless, "I'll kill you."
Katherine immediately fell to her knees, "Marshall, please be merciful. This woman is kind and honest.
She may be telling the truth."
He placed the dagger to the old woman's neck and said, "I may not kill you if you can describe how my
father looked like."
"You've never seen your father before, even if I describe him, how can you confirm?" She asked but felt
a sharp pain in her throat. It was because Derrick had pressed the sharp dagger to her throat and
blood had spilled.
"I will... I will..." Gina quickly said. She had heard of how brutal Derrick is but she didn't know he was as
brutal as this.
"Bring me the artist," Derrick took the knife away from her neck and took steps back. About a few
minutes later, the artist was brought and was made to draw what Gina was describing.
When the artist was done, Derrick examined the picture and found out that the person inside the
picture is the same man he had always seen inside his dream as his father.
He then looked at Gina, is this woman really his mother?
"Keep her inside one of the cells," he commanded and she was immediately taken away.
