Chapter Nineteen: Life is Life
Charles and Laura played games in the house for a few days, and Rena, under Charles' indulgence, persuaded Ian to push all the actions onto Hydra, and after her death, she was nailed to the pillar of shame and was scolded by her companions.
Ian's grave was eventually placed in his underground world by Charles. According to Rena, the conditions for Ian to promise to do this or his last wish were to stay in Lavenhod Manor forever, and Charles agreed to this.
Charles, Laura, Lena and Jessica, four insiders gave Ian a final farewell ceremony. Seeing the last smear of dust covered by Charles with his thoughts, everyone showed sadness.
"Rena, Ian's family will not be retaliated, right?" Charles asked about what happened to Rena later.
"Ian has no family. He has been an orphan since he was a child. His period at Ravenhod Manor was his happiest time. He thought Ravenhod Manor was his home." Lena said sadly.
Rena's words made everyone feel sad again, and Charles was silent. He gave the Inhumans shelter, but did not give them status. He simply regarded this protection as a means to make Laura happy. He was wrong. The Inhumans also had emotions. They longed to be paid attention, while Charles ignored this desire.
"Do Ian have any wishes?" Charles asked at the end.
"He still hopes..." Faced with Charles' question, Rena hesitated for a moment, and finally answered: "He also hopes that Ravenhoud Manor is the eternal home of the Inhuman race."
"I promised." Charles answered Lena, then took Laura and Jessica away, leaving only Lena and Ian for the final farewell.
"Ian, what I promised you has done, you can rest in peace." Rena stayed behind alone, bowed to Ian, then followed Charles and returned to the ground together.
After returning to the office, Charles began to ask Lena about the reaction of the Inhuman race to this matter. Lena told Charles that after Ian committed suicide or even committed suicide in public, although some people questioned how Ian could be a Hydra, this voice was refuted by some Inhumans who knew Hydra's behavior. Lincoln even told everyone that SHIELD had half of Hydra's reactions, and those Hydras would immediately draw their guns and shoot their former best friends after hearing the orders of their superiors. Hydra people are so crazy.
In the end, everyone accepted that Ian was the undercover agent sent by Hydra to Charles, and even suspected that Ian's orphan identity was forged by Hydra. However, they didn't know that every Infantry that Charles accepted was reviewed by him, and the probability of an undercover agent was almost zero. Charles didn't want to give Laura the toy he had given was a Hydra, and then brainwashed Laura, so he used the amnestic device of the man in black, plus the truth whip on Laura's hand. Every Infantry would be checked by Charles after moving into Ravenhod Manor, so these Infantry could only become Hydra after entering Ravenhod Manor, not before.
After the Ian incident, the Inhumans also completely calmed down. They felt guilty that they followed the advice of a Hydra to do something that seemed to be better for Charles, so they also silently continued to live according to the life arranged by Charles, the work that should be worked, and the exercise ability that should be exercised.
However, they also found that their lives have gradually improved a little. For example, because of Laura's schedule, the bar had to close after twelve o'clock, but now there is no such restriction. The people who hired them no longer look down on them anymore. Charles warned the guys who recruited people here that if there was any accident in the Yiren who looked for a job from him, he would no longer break up their company and his methods would be even more explosive and terrifying. He also had the name of "acrobatic". These changes made the Yiren feel that this place was getting safer and safer.
Charles went from an Inhuman "hired" to a truly Inhuman "protector". After Charles whipped the president of a large company with the truth, he told the New York police that he had been stolen from a young age to see the women's bathroom. No one dared to be petty when recruiting Inhuman. In the past, they even planned to pay a little price to secretly kidnap an Inhuman, but now they have all been interrupted. No one is willing to enter prison in such a shameful way.
Members of S.H.E.L.D. and the Avengers also came to see Charles several times and persuaded Charles to be polite to those capital tycoons, at least not to embarrass them. However, Charles used "Their face is face, but my face is not face. These guys wanted to slap me in the face when they recruited people here, and I can't beat it."
After that, in Charles' business, the job of studying Indies began to decrease, and the job of personal bodyguards began to increase. An Indies who could almost be called a psychopath applied for a bodyguard job with his not very strong body, and the employer applied for him directly because he was Indies from Ravenhod Manor. This result made Charles laugh and cry.
However, Charles still warned the Inhumans here not to do whatever they want just because they were protecting them. If they did something illegal, Charles would not be tolerant at all. Moreover, Inhumans were not allowed to not take their work seriously. He relied on their commission to support himself. Faced with Charles' teaching, the Inhumans all shouted "Dad Cha" and then agreed cheerfully.
Under this intensity of protection, there are naturally more and more aliens in Lavenholed Manor. After removing some aliens with bad intentions, Charles also accepted them all. Even Charles bought an extra apartment to give the aliens a place to live.
Charles entered a busy state like this, and Laura began to enter a normal state of life, going to school, going home, gathering with friends, playing games with Charles, and Rena and Jessica were helping Charles manage all the affairs of the Inhuman race.
Charles, who had an occasional rest, always wondered in his heart whether his current life was what he wanted. After communicating with those travelers who still stayed in the world and continued to live without returning to the original earth, he only got a sentence: "Where is living is not life, as long as you are happy." Then Charles was left alone to continue thinking about life.
With a "clang", the sound of a broken glass ball interrupted Charles' thoughts. A little alien girl looked nervously at the ground with her supernatural powers that broke the "Ago Motorcycle Crystal Ball" by her supernatural powers. Then she looked at Charles, who seemed to be still resting, gently kicked the fragments of the "Ago Motorcycle Crystal Ball" under the cabinet, and then decided to leave here with slightest steps.
"Sandra, you can only leave after you have finished cleaning the garbage. I don't like cleaning, do you know?" Charles pouted, and the little girl named Sandra stopped stiffly, then she looked at Charles with a smile and continued to close her eyes and rest.
