Reborn: Apocalypse Ready. War Goddess by My Side novel Chapter 423

The Truth of Alan’s Past

An illegitimate son!

Captain was actually the illegitimate son of that three–star Grand General!

Olivia looked at Alan, sympathy flickering in her eyes.

Alan continued. “Because of who I was, Alex and Inever got along growing up.

“We grew up fighting. We clashed again and again, and the bad blood between us only got worse.

“After the Divine Awakening, he awakened an SS–rank lightning attribute. I awakened an S–rank wind attribute.

“In the beginning, he had the upper hand.

“Then my martial talent started to show, and I surpassed everyone in my generation.

“That was where the grudge really began. Maybe I was too arrogant, or maybe they were afraid I’d bring my mother into the family and take Alex’s mother’s place.

“Then my mother died…

“I know Alex’s mother’s family had something to do with it.

“I stormed their home and almost killed Alex.”

At that, Alan’s gaze went distant, his eyes flickering with the memory.

On that rainy night, he and Alex had both lost control. They were both out for blood, each punch landing with brutal force.

“Alan! What kind of person do you think I am? Do you really think I’d sink that low? Whatever is between us has nothing to do with your mother.”

“But my mother is dead! Your mother killed her!”

“That’s impossible! My mother never wanted your mother dead!”

“If it wasn’t her, then who else could it be?”

“And what if it really wasn’t her?”

Alan came back to himself and continued. “Maybe Ernie felt he owed me. He protected me in front of everyone in the Greenwoods.

“I swore I would kill Alex.

“Alex and I agreed to settle things in a fight to the death, but it wouldn’t be just between the two of us. It

would lie a death match between the Awakefred squads we each built.

Finished

“We were supposed to prove who was the better leader. Whoever won would lead the Greenwoods in the

future…”

By then, all his teammates understood why Alan wanted them to leave.

“The truth is, the Greenwoods mean nothing to me. I just want to use this chance to kill Alex.”

When he said that, Alan paused.

Olivia’s eyes were red–rimmed.

There was one more thing Alan had not said–Yvonne had died during that same period.

Alan had lost his mother. Then he had lost most of the members of his original Awakened Squad.

He had also lost the girl he loved most.

That was why Olivia wondered why Alan’s life had to be so painful.

Did he not deserve any kindness from this world?

Was talent always supposed to come with a price?

Was he meant to suffer through every hardship life could throw at him?

He had been lost for a long time. In the end, hatred was what dragged him back.

That was why Olivia had followed Alan without hesitation back then and gone with him to Rowenville.

Alan continued. “There has to be a fight to the death between Alex and me. Back then, I thought that even if I brought all of you with me, I could still take on their entire team by myself. Of course, I still believe that now.

Steven’s mind reeled. So that was what happened…

But when Steven looked into Alan’s eyes, flicker of doubt rose in him. Captain’s killing intent toward Alex… It’s so faint…

Pain filled Bianca’s face. Captain really has suffered so much…

Alan shook his head and said, “I’m telling you the truth, but not because I want to force you to leave.

“You need to leave Team Ashen for now. It’s for your own safety.

“I have to guard against the possibility that Alex’s mother’s family might secretly come after you. Once I’ve dealt with all this, Team Ashen will come back together.

“By then, I’ll take all of you around the world. We’ll become the best Awakened Squad there is.”

For the first time, Alan opened his heart to all his teammates.

He told everyone about his past.

The danger they had faced yesterday had made one thing painfully clear.

The lack of strength was still the problem.

He still wasn’t strong enough to protect everyone by himself.

He didn’t want to say that the others were holding him back.

He’d chosen each of them himself, and what he’d cared about was their character, not their strength.

Having them leave for now was the only choice he had.

Everyone fell silent for a while.

Peter put on a relaxed act and flashed a cheeky grin. “Come on, everyone. Don’t look so grim.

“Captain’s doing this for our own good.

“It’s fine for us to leave for now. We can’t exactly help Captain fight Alex’s team when they’re already ranked on the Awakened Squad Rankings.

“We’d only hold him back.
