Chapter 1062 Do Not Repay Kindness With Ingratitude
At the very least, they didn't have to deal with as much anguish and betrayal when they died.
There was also no need to witness too many murders and violence.
Therefore, she had made the same choice this time.
The difference was that she didn't destroy the energy stone; instead, she implanted it into his body.
With her strong will, the energy stone was then inserted into Coby's body.
She reasoned that since peace and happiness were not all he desired but the country, she would fulfill his wish.
There was no such thing as a dynasty that could last generations or a country that could always be dominant.
But he could.
Because he would never die and would be able to keep his rights indefinitely with his intelligence and means. Not only that, but he could utilize his long life to atone for the sins of the people of this country.
Even before her death, Cara had done everything out of good intentions.
However, she probably never imagined that the man who had once betrayed her, regardless of the means, would go wild for the sake of power afterward.
Sometimes, human beings were like this.
They never appreciate what they had until it was gone.
Till then, they only knew how valuable things were in the past.
At that point, Coby was out of his mind.
Cara's death was too much for him to bear. He would not allow anyone to bury her, even when she had turned into a corpse. Instead, he used an ice coffin to freeze her.
There was one thing that all the people from that planet had in common.
That was, they were reliant on the energy stone to survive, allowing them to maintain their youth forever. However, their bodies would swiftly age if they lost the energy stone.
Just like a withered flower, Cara instantly became an old lady.
Therefore, Cara looked different when Coby froze her.
She was, in fact, significantly older.
Nonetheless, he had been guarding her body. Not only that, but he had also left the country and the throne he had fought so hard for to seek medical assistance and wake her up.
Soon, Roth Dynasty was defeated by the enemy country, and the dynasty was soon replaced. Cara and the quick-witted High-Priest were no longer in the world.
Coby changed his name and founded the Marsh Family, which had survived from generation to generation.
After listening to his story, Clarissa believed it was a lie to claim she was not shocked.
She thought that this sort of thing only happened in TV shows or novels.
Yet, it actually existed.
Whether it was Cara's infatuation or Coby's stupidity, in the end, it was all because of feelings. She couldn't help but sigh at the notion of it.
Then she inquired, intrigued, "A thousand years have gone in that case. Have you found a way to revive her?"
"I found it." Coby nodded.
"What is it?"
Coby didn't respond right away. Instead, he took out his phone and handed her a piece of news.
"Take a look at this first."
Clarissa took it over to have a look and found that it was a piece of science news.
A meteorite landed 200 years ago in a small town near the sea, producing widespread nuclear radiation and forcing many to become ill or flee.
It eventually became a deserted city.
The people then regarded this place as Ghost City.
As she read the report, Clarissa scowled.
"Why are you showing me this?"
Coby said in a deep voice, "The meteorite that fell here that year was not a real meteorite, but a spaceship from the same planet. However, that man was unlucky and had died for some reason. Even though he was no longer alive, the energy stone remained. I investigated that someone took the energy stone because it was rare. Besides, he saw it as a memorial to his homeland. As a result, he split it up into small pieces and distributed it among the family members. And that was Jade of Heaven."
Upon listening to his words, Clarissa gave a violent shudder.
"Jade of Heaven? You mean..."
"Yes. It's the jade that is now circulating in the world."
Clarissa suddenly understood why Coby was trying so hard to find it.
The energy stone that came from the same planet and allowed one to live forever...
So, those rumors were actually true?
Her face turned pale as soon as she realized this.
After, Coby continued to say, "Jade of Heaven was divided into twelve pieces. The person who got this energy stone had witnessed the meteorite fall. Science was not popularized at the time. They believed it had been given to them by the Gods, so they took it and engraved blessing messages on it, thinking that the Gods would bless them for all time.
Later, these energy stones were gradually passing outside. I came across a piece of it by chance. The material reminded me of the energy stone that had been implanted in my body. So I checked the news and only knew what had happened 200 years ago."
Hearing this, Clarissa pressed her lips together.
"So? Why do you want to collect this? You can't possibly believe it can revive Cara, right?"
"How do I know if I don't try?"
Coby gave her a cool stare. "This is my only chance. If I can't do this, then..."
Then there would be no way to bring Cara back to life in the world.
Cara would then leave him forever.
Clarissa was moved by his great love for his most adored woman for a thousand years as she listened to his words, but she still thought what he did was incredible.
"Is that why you are so determined to find the twelve pieces of Jade of Heaven? But what does that have to do with me? Why did you bring me here?"
A playful expression appeared on Coby's face when she mentioned this.
"I don't want to catch you either. Clarissa, I've told you before that you once saved my life. Although I am not a good person, I do not repay kindness with ingratitude. So, why would I hurt you?"
"Then, why did you..."
"The only reason I did this was to ensure my own safety. Can't you see that your husband Anderson, the man who accompanied you every day, is different from what you imagined?"
Clarissa was a little confused.
Different?
What was different?
Coby shook his head and sighed.
"Fine. Since he erased your memory, I'll remind you of it."
As he spoke, he suddenly stood up and walked over.
Clarissa fixed her gaze on his. She didn't know why, but her heart pounded with fear.
She moved backward while supporting herself on the ground.
"Don't come here. What do you want to do..." she muttered.
However, before she could finish her words, Coby grabbed her on the top of his head.
