Chapter 175 Two Uncles
Lex left, and everyone else dispersed.
The Red Earl treated both Golden Lion and Lex for the hidden injuries they suffered from the battle.
It has to be said that the vampire fruit is simply a blessing in this regard, and is in no way inferior to the healing fruit of the dwarf princess.
But unfortunately, the healing fruit has not yet been released, and Lex has no news about it.
Lex collected a lot of fruits, some of which had appeared in the original work or had not appeared in the original work.
Over the past twenty-one years, Lex has been quietly accumulating these fruits, leaving them for slow digestion in the future.
For example, right now.
Inside the secret room.
Lex looked at the sturdy blond boy in front of him with a smile. Gion was sitting idly beside him, and Gut was also there.
"Barrett, what do you think?"
Lex always has infinite patience for talents like Barrett.
Barrett pondered. At this moment, all his boy soldiers were not there. Only Barrett was alone facing Lex.
However, Barrett did not become arrogant or flattered by Lex's kind attitude.
He was just thinking seriously about whether what Lex said was true or not, and whether he should really agree to Lex.
"Mr. Lex, I want to confirm one last time. Is what Mr. Gutt said about the general betraying us true?"
Lex smiled and nodded slightly.
Gion put his hands on his hips and nodded heavily.
Barrett was deeply shaken. He had always remembered the general's kindness to him over the years and dared not forget it.
Even though Barrett's power now surpasses that of everyone in the kingdom, he remains loyal to the general and has never had any second thoughts.
However, when Agulas Gut really produced evidence that the general betrayed him, colluded with the Kingdom Army, colluded with the World Government, sold out himself and his brothers, Barrett remained silent.
Silence till now.
After all, Barrett is only 13 years old.
Most people at this age are still thinking about what to eat in the evening and what to play tomorrow.
Instead of being like Barrett, standing on the cliff of life, he has to make a decision that affects his entire life, a decision that affects the life of himself and his brothers.
Lex can "read minds", and his observation Haki can naturally sense Barrett's tangled heart.
So he stood up:
"Barrett, why don't you come with me? Perhaps we'll discover something different. Of course, I never forced you to join me. That would be meaningless."
Barrett sat on the sofa, looking up at Lex. In the secret room, Gion remained silent, watching the conversation between her man and the young man quietly. Gut had already said everything he needed to say.
half an hour.
Barrett stood up and nodded at Lex.
Lex smiled gently, and blue starlight twinkled around him, and Barrett's body glowed with the same light.
next moment--
The two disappeared into the secret room. Gion and Gut looked at each other, and Gut suddenly asked:
"Young Madam, what do you think——"
Gion quickly raised his hand to interrupt:
"No, no, no, just call me Gion, and don't use "you". I am your junior, Uncle Gutt."
Gut laughed. In fact, if you count carefully, Gut and Gion had only met a few times, and they only knew each other and greeted each other when they met.
"Then, Gion, what do you think about the young master's decisive battle with the admiral today?"
As soon as Gut asked this question, he regretted it. He felt that he asked too directly. Even if he felt extremely opposed to it in his heart, he should not have asked Gion this question directly.
But Gion seemed completely unaware of this:
"Haha, this, of course I used my Observation Haki. They were so fast that I couldn't see them with my naked eyes. But my Observation Haki is too poor, so I didn't see many details clearly."
Gut was stunned and burst out laughing. He felt that Gion did not understand the deeper meaning of his words and only thought that he was asking about the battle situation between Lex and Golden Lion.
But it’s okay this way. I shouldn’t have asked this in the first place. It’s okay even if Gion doesn’t understand.
After saying that, the two walked out of the secret room.
but--
Just as he was about to step out of the secret room—
Gion suddenly spoke:
"Uncle Gutt, Lex told me last night that he is very proud to have elders like Uncle Ski and Uncle Gutt~"
At that moment——
Gut paused, his shoulders trembled uncontrollably, his nose felt sore, as if all his grievances were pouring out at this moment.
He covered his face and cried, unable to speak.
Gion was walking in front and had already stepped out of the secret room.

……
Lex took Barrett through the different space.
The World Expo is already going on in full swing, with countless strong men pouring into the Sky Arena every day to engage in battle.
All kinds of shops sprang up everywhere, and the financial economy of Pentles skyrocketed by several levels, reaching an unprecedented level.
Tomorrow is the start of the super auction on Tuotuo Island. I wonder what kind of monsters and demons will be attracted then?
At least, many of the key figures that Lex was paying attention to did not show up.
But the first priority now is Barrett. Lex is willing to spend a lot of time for this young man.
"In a country with endless wars, due to acute domestic conflicts, the rebels rose up, smoke of war spread everywhere, and the people suffered. In the end, the situation of the king's army confronting the rebels was formed."
Lex talked to himself while Barrett listened quietly without saying a word.
Lex continued:
"In fact, this situation happened exactly the same way six years ago in Pentles, where this World Expo was held."
"But fortunately, Pentles has met an excellent leader, Camus, who is now the king of Pentles and one of the supporters of this World Expo."
Barrett suddenly said:
"It's not just Camus, it's you!"
Lex laughed:
"As for me, I count as one of them, but in the final analysis, I only provided some supplies and did not even do anything myself. It was the people of Pentles who risked their lives. How can I dare to take all the credit for such a great effort?"
Barrett disagrees:
"If it weren't for you, no matter how outstanding Camus was, Pentles would still be the country of endless war. After all, to change these wars, chaos, and darkness, you still need strength, bloodshed, death, and absolute power."
At a young age, Barrett has a clear understanding of the nature of these worlds.
Lex did not deny this:
"Then Barrett, do you think that the ocean today is a super-magnified version of a country with endless wars?"
Barrett nodded: "It is."
Lex continued:
"Yes, so if you want to change these things, you need absolute power. Any plans, compromises, begging, or entanglements will be pale and powerless."
"So you want to change this sea?"
"…I'm doing it, however, I still need your help."
The 13-year-old Barrett was far from being as arrogant and tyrannical as he would be at the age of 45. At this moment, he had not yet experienced major events that would affect his life, such as national betrayal and Roger's death, so his character had not yet been formed.
Barrett was silent for a moment:
"I don't think I have the power to help you, the king of the new world."
"It will come slowly... it will be the land of endless war."
As soon as Lex finished speaking, Barrett felt the sky spinning around him and blue stars twinkling.
Then, Barrett felt that he was stepping on thick ground. He smelled blood and there was a desolate scene all around him. Corpses covered the cracked land, blood seeped into the soil, and body parts mixed with internal organs were carried away by passing vultures.
