"I intend to elect you as the new Chairman of Osborne Industries."

The words kept echoing in Amberson's mind.

Although William's voice was not loud, it was like the sound of bells and cauldrons ringing in Amberson's ears, deafening.

Even Howard on the side looked surprised.

No wonder, in the eyes of others, Amberson Osborne, the second son of the Osborne family, seems to have nothing outstanding about him.He neither showed amazing intelligence nor performed any amazing deeds, and even his appearance was not as outstanding as that of his older brother William.He seems to follow the rules in everything he does. In an ordinary family, he would be what parents call "other people's children."But Amberson was overshadowed by his brother William.

After Lowell's death, almost everyone, friend or foe, regarded William as the next chairman of the Osborne Group.

Amberson's eyes flashed with confusion, confusion, and even a hint of secret joy, but what was more in his eyes was...

anger!

"Why?" Amberson gritted his teeth and lowered his voice, suppressing his anger and asked.

'Why? ? '

William felt baffled. William had thought about how Amberson would react, but the only answer he didn't expect was anger.

William looked at Amberson as if he was meeting his younger brother for the first time, frowned and asked: "Why are you angry? I thought becoming the chairman of the group was what you have been pursuing..."

"No! It's not like that."

In William's memory, this was the first time that Amberson interrupted his speech so rudely.

"William, I have been chasing your back for as long as I can remember. Wherever I go people would just say 'Ah, look this is Lowell's son, William's brother'. From then on I have not stopped. You are working hard, both academically and in the company. But later I found that the distance between you and me was only getting wider and wider. I began to recognize the fact that I am different from people like you and Stark. I don’t have talents like you. Since then, I have been following the rules, in front of my father, in front of William, and in the company. I am doing something within my ability. After my father’s accident, I even went to lobby the directors on the board of directors to let them They supported you becoming chairman, and I knew you probably wouldn't care about them, but I did it anyway."

Amberson's slightly confused words hit William like a bullet.

'It turns out that's what Amberson thought all along. 'William was silent.

"Now you have given this position to me in an understatement. Didn't this crush all my previous efforts? My unwillingness, my jealousy, my relief, everything about me... is not What a ridiculous thing."

Amberson's tone changed from angry to calm at the end, and then said:

"why?"

The problem is back to the beginning.

William sighed softly and said, "Retrovirus."

"Retrovirus?" Amberson instinctively gasped in fear when he heard this. It's not his fault. This term is really too lethal to the Osborne family.

William nodded and said, "Yes, I don't want to be like my ancestors, burdened with this virus and Osborne's surname, and die in obscurity on the 'throne'."

"I want to find a cure for the virus. For me, the position of chairman of Osborne Group will only bring constraints to me."

Amberson slowly chewed on the meaning of William's words, and his expression slowly changed from surprise to anger.

"What you mean is that in order to escape the death that will come when you don't know when, you want to shirk your responsibilities..."

"you this......"

"Amberson!" Howard, who was pretending to be stupid, saw that the situation was out of control and shouted quickly.

But it was too late.

"......coward!!!"

Amberson shouted so loudly that the entire Osborne family cemetery echoed with Amberson's voice.It was like he was accusing his brother in front of his father.

William clenched his fist with his expressionless right hand and struck Amberson hard in the face.

the next moment.

"Oh!"

Amberson was stunned by William's actions and glanced to the left.

It turned out that at the last moment, William missed Amberson's face, his fist passed Amberson's left ear, and hit the tree behind Amberson.

"Squeak."

The tree trunk as big as a bowl was pierced by William's fist, and the whole tree fell down.

Amberson and Howard beside him swallowed together with the tooth-breaking crunching sound of the tree trunk falling.

Yes, if there is any difference between William and Howard, two geniuses with similar family backgrounds, similar talents, and both were rated as the "Gemini" in the scientific world, except that William is more handsome in appearance, that may be Physical fitness improved.

William was born with supernatural powers for some reason since he was a child. His physical fitness has increased rapidly with age, and he has also shown strong talent and interest in various fighting techniques. Now he has mastered almost all fighting techniques in the world. Among ordinary people, In this world, if we consider actual combat, there is no problem in using one against a hundred.

Howard, on the other hand, is the standard template of an otaku scientist. He is neither powerless nor any different from ordinary people.

Of course, so far, there has been no situation that required Master Osborne to engage in physical combat.So very few people know about it.

Howard knew that it was because a few years ago, the two of them became jealous because they fell in love with the same beautiful girl. One night, both of them drank a lot of wine. The two teenagers, who were both teenagers, were surrounded by the crowd and the girl's shouts. There was a fight in the eyes.

In fact, it can't be called a fight. William beat Howard several times in a drunken stupor. When he came to his senses, Howard was already lying on the ground. I heard that he stayed in bed for two months before he recovered.

As a trophy, that wonderful girl was of course given a severe education by William on the bed that night.

Later, for a long time, Howard felt terrified when he saw William. This situation did not ease until both of them grew up and matured.

William slowly closed his fist and said:

"No one can talk to me like that, Amberson, not even if you're my brother."

Howard was the first to come to his senses and said with a hint of anger: "William, don't go too far."

"Shut up! Howard." William said impatiently: "It's not your turn, Stark, to dictate matters about the Osborne family."

William was silent for a moment, and then said to Howard: "That's it for today. My father has seen enough today. Howard, please go first. I want to talk to Amberson alone."

Howard sighed softly after hearing this, patted William's shoulder lightly, turned around and said to Amberson: "Don't mess with him, you can't beat your brother."

After that, he drove away, leaving the two Osborne brothers standing alone in the cemetery.

William patted Amberson's face gently, and sat down on a pile of dead branches and leaves on the ground, ignoring the dirt on the ground and the expensive clothes he was wearing.

Amberson also sat down, and the two brothers leaned against the half-remaining tree trunk and remained silent for a long time.

An untimely light rain fell in the sky, and the cold raindrops soaked the clothes of the two brothers. Amberson looked up at the sky, and a trace of raindrops slipped from the corner of his eyes.

"I'm sorry, William, I didn't mean that." Amberson said first. In the past, he always spoke first in conflicts between brothers.

"It's not about escaping death when it will come." William said silently.

"What?" Amberson asked in surprise.

William repeated it again and said: "It is not about escaping death when it will come."

It rained heavily in the sky.William glanced at his father's tombstone and said flatly:

"My death is very close."
