Chapter 2330 Entrusted Funeral Special Consultation
Harry finally returned to his home with Skye. Of course, the only thing that could greet him in the former Osborne mansion was the ruins.
Facing such a ruin, Harry could not speak for a long time. It could be seen that he seemed to have foreseeed it. However, when all this was presented to him in a realistic way, he was still a little unacceptable. This psychological impact was still too great for him after all. Because everything happened here was almost equivalent to telling him the fact that he lost everything about him overnight.
No one can be indifferent when facing such a blow, so from this perspective, Harry's current reaction is really normal.
But Skye didn't want Harry to be immersed in this sadness and pain all the time, so after he was silent for a while, she grabbed one of his hands and whispered to him.
"Don't be too sad, maybe everything is not as bad as you think. Maybe they may be alive."
This is the purest comfort, both Skye and Harry know this. For Skye, this is just her lie of kindness, because she herself is one of the culprits of all this. Whether it is Old Osborne or the others who died here, she actually knows it in her heart. For Harry, who has witnessed his father's death, he has already guessed the general result, and what he sees now is just to verify such a result again. So he will not be lucky at all.
"No need. Do me a favor. I need someone to prepare my funeral. I have been there for my father and Hadley and the others. Hadley has no children. He has served our family for forty years. To me, he is like a relative. So I plan to bury him and my father, and I will arrange everything as their last relative. I need you to help me, Daisy!"
"What are you going to ask me to help you?"
Skye sighed. For her, her mission was actually over. But due to her personal wishes, she stayed with Harry now. This was not a good thing for them, because the longer they spent together, the easier it would be to reveal the complex relationship between them. But now, she really couldn't find any reason to refuse Harry, so she could only nod and ask him.
"I want you to help me prepare for everything I need for funerals. My father and Hadley's bodies are gone, so they can only be buried in the form of a tomb. There are many things that you may need to operate. There are two things to note. First, our Osborne family does not need to invite any guests to watch the ceremony. Second, my father is an atheist, so he does not need any priest to give him a speech. But Hadley is different. He is a believer of the King of Ming. I know that King of Ming does not need anyone to worship him, pray or ask him. But I hope you can find a way to erect a statue of the messenger of light for him in front of the tombstone."
"The Messenger of Light? Why? I thought that a man of his age would like to set up a cross in a nostalgic way!"
"Because of my father. My father almost passed away due to a genetic disease. At that time, almost all medical methods were useless for him. He had to wait for a way to die. At that time, the Ming King appeared in this world. It was precisely because of his gift that my father could have a second life. Hadley was very loyal to my father, so he was also grateful to the Ming King's gift. Since then, he has changed from an undevoted Catholic to a devout believer of the Ming King. How about it, does it sound ridiculous?"
As he said such memories, Harry's eyes were filled with sadness. It could be seen that he had a deep affection for the old housekeeper. This made Skye feel even more confused. Because no matter what, the old housekeeper's death was inseparable from her. Although it was only affected by the old housekeeper's helplessness at that time, the one she moved was her move after all. This is undeniable.
Out of guilt and apologies to Harry, Skye promised him like this.
"Don't worry. Leave this to me, I will do it properly. But, what are you going to do? What do you need to leave your father's funeral?"
"I want to get back what belongs to me. Before that, I need to figure out some problems, some very important issues."
He raised his head and looked in the direction of the city. Harry's tone suddenly became cold. He knew that what awaited him would be a difficult struggle. But as a member of the Osborne family, he was not afraid of such things. If anyone wants to reach his hands into the territory of their Osborne family at this time, let him do it. As the successor of the Osborne family, he did not mind using a sharp sword to tell him the reason why the Osborne company was called this name.
Skye could imagine what Harry and others would be facing. She knew Harry's kind nature well and naturally asked worriedly at this time.
"Is there anything I need to help? Is it too weak in the company by yourself? I think I should be able to provide you with some help. At least, there is one more trustworthy person around you."
"Don't worry, I can solve it. What will jump out now is just a jumping clown, and you don't need to spend too much effort on them."
With a smile and politely rejected Skye's request, Harry turned around and walked outside. Looking at Harry's expression, Skye couldn't help but calm her face. She was very worried about Harry because she didn't know if Harry would repeat his father's mistake. That had proved to be a wrong choice. So Skye really didn't want him to make mistakes again and again.
But what can she do at this time? It's just a prayer.
Many people are paying attention to Harry's actions. They think this young man will do some stupid behaviors, such as blindly taking over everything left by his father. But to many people's surprise, Harry did not do this. Instead, he found a person quietly.
General Ross, a former member of the Avengers and now the Secretary of Defense, is an important figure even in the United States today. Logically speaking, it is not easy for Harry to see him. Because his current identity is very embarrassing, and such an embarrassing identity can easily make him suffer something like being turned away.
However, he still met General Ross. The reason was that General Ross owed the Osborne family a favor.
When S.H.I.E.D. was still under control by Pierce, General Ross unauthorizedly launched a war against mutants because he believed Pierce's words. When everything ended in a crushing defeat, he, the culprit, naturally, would inevitably be subject to legal sanctions. At that time, he might have to spend the rest of his life in prison.
But because of Osborne, he was released on bail and qualified to receive the Red Hulk transformation. This made him eventually become a superhero and return to the kingdom he belonged to. Old Osborne had the grace of reinventing him! Although the process was not pleasant, and Old Osborne's purpose was not simple. But for now, this was not enough to be his reason to refuse to meet Harry. So soon, Harry appeared in his office.
"It's really hard to see you, Your Excellency Minister. I thought I would be invited out by the guards at the door?"
When Harry saw General Ross' face, he took out a tone of a needle hidden in his words. Obviously, he was very dissatisfied with the treatment he had suffered. Looking at his dissatisfied attitude, General Ross first lit a cigar for himself and took two sips hard. Then he said to him meaningfully.
"You should be glad you can see me, not complain about anything! Mr. Osborne, you don't know how much of it is to me in the middle of it."
"Consider? Is there anything you need to ignore my father's affection?"
Harry couldn't understand what General Ross said, so he asked him questions like this. Faced with his very immature words, General Ross just smiled contemptuously.
"It seems that you don't know what's going on yet, right? Then I'm curious, why are you here? Why are you here to find me?"
"I want to know from you the background of a guy, a guy who looks like a skeleton, and his whole body is burning with blue flames!"
With the appearance of the little spider in his mouth, Harry gritted his teeth and said his purpose to General Ross. Hearing his words, General Ross immediately shook his head.
"What, do you want to take revenge? So what information do you want to get from me?"
"Of course, otherwise why do you think I came to you for the sake of?"
Harry raised his eyebrows and asked in surprise. Looking at his expression, the smile on General Ross's face suddenly became even more contemptuous.
"I have to say, Mr. Osborne. Your answer really disappoints me. I thought you would want to ask something more meaningful!"
"Things more meaningful?"
"That's right. For example, the mistake your father has made. And what do you have to pay to take over the wealth your father has left you. I think this is your top priority, but I didn't expect you to ask me this question."
After directly extinguishing the cigar in his hand, General Ross suddenly stood up and said to him in a condescending manner.
