Chapter 264 Dead Was Better Than Live

Edwin looked at Nick, his eyes were burning.

Nick stood up and walked into the bar. He took two red wine glasses and poured himself a glass and drunk like rinsing. He said, "The real Edwin has already found the hippocampus block that was cut off in Bella."

Edwin’s hand on the bar was tight, and his eyes became cold. “When is it?”

"Two days ago." Nick poured another glass and pushed it to Edwin. His smile was irony. "Drink a glass to get yourself prepared, it will be more exciting next."

Edwin sneered. "I am not so weak, tell me."

His hand did not take the glass that Nick handed over, but the clenched fist joint had been whitened.

Nick said, "My people originally went to Vancouver Island to find someone. They didn't expect that person was kidnapped. They followed those people all the way and there was a laboratory under the casino. That night, someone was just making trouble there." He looked at Edwin. "Guess who was making trouble?"

"Who?" Edwin looked at him and asked.

Nick took a sip of red wine and looked at him with a fake smile. "People around you - Quentin!"

Edwin asked word by word, "That laboratory, isn't it, Sea Creature Gene Research Institute?"

“Smart.” Nick chuckled. “Who can imagine that the world-famous biologist would turn to operate casinos, and who can think of under the worldwide famous gambling city, there is a hidden biological laboratory fifteen years ago?!" He laughed with irony. "The real Edwin has already discovered it. He also sent people around you to there, so that everyone knew that the person who wanted to grab the thing was you! Isn’t it a good plot?!"

Edwin took the glass from Nick on the table and dried it. His face was as gentle as the old one. It was hard to tell the joys and sorrows, but the hardships in his deep eyes were as before. “It’s not a plot, he is just afraid that after he dies, he will not be able to do his best to protect the Bell, so he wants first to introduce all possible dangers to me. He did this all for the sake of Bell."

"He told you to guard his sister but didn't give you any benefit. You are so willing to be used by him?!"

Edwin once again drank the red wine that Nick had just poured for him. He lowered down his head and looked up at Nick again after a long time. The beautiful face was smiling, and his eyes were bright. "Yes, I am willing to be made use of by him."

"Even to betray our friendship?" Nick’s voice was cold. "This time, Jack personally went to do it. However, Quentin clearly warned him not to intervene, even Jack has told his identity and threatened him!"

Nick's long arm extended. Their brotherhood for last moment instantly disappeared. The five fingers quickly locked Edwin’s neck. Nick’s eyes were like a sword. "My identity, Jack’s identity, only you know! I treat you as my brother, you can be willing to be used by Edwin, but you should not betray me!"

His claws were very tight, and Edwin’s eyes flash a touch of disdain. "Do you know how many of your people were expelled to the human world after you were expelled from the Patrol of the Sea? People like Carl are all over the world, you know?" He sneered," Do you know why did Edwin successfully escape from the Sea Creature Gene Research Institute? Why was he injected with so many experimental chemicals but he is still alive now? And why could he make the medicine that recovers youth in an instant?"

Nick sneered, "What do you want to say?"

Edwin clasped Nick’s wrist and held the aorta of his wrist. "Are you sure we need to talk like this?"

Nick released his hand and took the wine glass on the table. He poured a large glass and his charming eyes were full of death. "You better give me a reasonable explanation. Otherwise..."

"Otherwise what?" Edwin loosened the tie on his neck. "You said you know where Bell’s memory block is. I never doubt you." He looked at him coldly. "Even if I said your identity, so what? The brother, he has never targeted on you. He even knows the identity of Charles, and he still let Bella leave along Charles because he believes that only Charles can protect Bell. His intention is only one, that is to protect Bell with any costs. He is not interested in your race and wealth."

"Brother?" Nick sneered. "I am more than two hundred years old. Why don't you call me the brother?"

Edwin didn’t want to respond to him. He said, "In the early years, Edwin was taken away by the people from the Sea Creature Gene Research Institute. There were two people in the lab who were your people."

"It’s impossible, how can my people be caught?" Nick did not believe at all. "No one could be their enemy."

"Yes, of course, no one will be your enemy. Only, you have retained all your abilities when you are driven out of the sea, only you have not been abolished the fish body. Look at Carl. As far as I know, many people expelled from the sea have lost their abilities, except for the fish body. Carl is lucky to leave a leg, but many people have completely lost their legs. They have no abilities, no legs, but they have to live more than two hundred years in the human world."

“Researchers in Sea Creature Gene Research Institute found that there was a village where people’s appearance didn’t change at all for ten years, so they caught them back. They wanted to study their genetics. At that time, Sea Creature Gene Research Institute only used them as an example of longevity. They didn't think that they would be a real mermaid. They put all their goals and energy on dealing with Edwin because Beck family has always had special blood. Edwin has some kind of 30% of the gene of a mermaid and not explicit. They injected special immature drugs into his body in order to stimulate the hidden gene inside."

"The two mermaids at that time already knew that Edwin might be a descendant of the first generation. They two agreed to save him together, on the condition that Edwin took them out."

“At that time, Edwin had become a member of the Sea Creature Gene Research Institute as an experimental person. He has made remarkable achievements in biomedicine since he was a child. He gradually gained the trust of those people. At one time they participated in an important ceremony, the lab was blown up with the help of the two men and they fled successfully."

Edwin looked at him and sneered. "The first day you let me sneak into Edwin's side, I was discovered because your breath was on me. The two old guys dismissed my identity to Edwin on the first day.”

Nick raised his eyebrows. "Those two people are still with true Edwin?"

"Yes." Edwin said, "But they don’t live very well. They use their own blood to longer Edwin’s life, and I am afraid that they will die soon."

"They...why do they do this..."

Edwin looked at him. "No old no die, meaningless the whole life, death is better than life."
