Rosie didn't sit down at the first time, he stared at the other party indifferently, his eyes were like deep black jade, they looked warm, but felt cold to the touch.The slim suit and slightly high ponytail made him look fierce and formidable, but Robert was not intimidated by this temperament, he just repeated with a smile, "Sit down."

"Long time no see, Rosie." After Rosie sat down on the other end of the bench while maintaining a distance, Robert looked at the fallen leaves in the courtyard and said leisurely, "For the past few weeks, I have been locked up in the prison waitingDuring the trial time, I was always dreaming, dreaming of Rose and you, what we experienced when we were young, has never been so clear in my mind."

His tone was subtle and far away, accompanied by the rustling yellow leaves, "Don't you think this is weird? Obviously, I have never thought of this for more than ten years. I have been thinking about stocks, markets, and research and development all day long... II thought I had forgotten this memory a long time ago, but when my brain stopped, I found that it was still in my mind and hadn't moved."

"Memory is such an annoying thing, you think you have lost it, it still pops up in front of you, you think you can pull it out of your mind and you can become another person... But in the end, you stillThat person." Robert clicked on his own temples.

Rosie sat sternly on the other side of the bench, her eyes unmoved.He just looked at the gurgling water spray of the fountain in front of him, without saying a word, like a delicately carved stone statue.Robert looked at him and asked with a smile: "Hey, why am I talking, don't you want to say something?"

"I'm already your prisoner, aren't you happy? In the war of the past few months, didn't you try every means to defeat me? When you led your men out of the city ten years ago, you were forced toDidn't you gnash your teeth and curse me to go to hell when you underwent the plastic surgery?"

Robert said lightly, "I still remember your expression on the operating table, so angry and pitiful. Now that your wish has come true, I'm going to hell. Why don't you come and laugh at me at such a good opportunity??”

"...I didn't come here to laugh at you." Rosie said coldly.He didn't look at Robert, and sat upright like a tight string. He didn't forget that he was the executioner, and he was going to pull the trigger on Robert's head in a while, so there shouldn't be too many digressions.

"Then why did you come here?" Robert glanced at the pistol on his waist with a smile, "Catch up with me? Or kill me?"

"I..." Rosie was stunned, her brows furrowed slightly.The other party has already seen why he came. In fact, he didn't want to ridicule or take revenge on Robert. He didn't care about it a long time ago. He didn't care about so many years of friendship, betrayal, and hatred that wanted to put the other party to death.exhausted.

He came to see Robert, just wanting to put an end to the fight of more than ten years.But this just proves that he hasn't let go, and only what he can't let go needs to be let go and ended. Robert is aware of his psychology of being entangled by memories, so he is very proud.

"I still remember the first time I saw you by the lawn." Robert said suddenly, "I still remember that day, when the sun was shining, hundreds of freshmen crowded in front of the lawn, chirping like annoying sparrows. At that time IJust being kicked out by the family, my mood sank to the bottom, you walked towards me with a smile and asked me if I want to partner with you, but what I thought in my heart was... this is an idiot."

"Yeah, I'm an idiot." Rosie couldn't help laughing at herself, "Only an idiot can't see your true colors and wish to be friends with you. You are clearly a selfish bastard, you accept Rose and my kindness, but belittled it to nothing in my heart, when I was trying my best to make money for you, you always laughed secretly like this, right?"

He turned his head and looked at Robert, "This is you, Robert Dillane, you are such a sleazy villain. It was my naivety that messed up the situation, but without you, Cesina would never haveIt won’t be what it is today.”

"Really, I'm a villain, so what are you?" Hearing his accusation, Robert's face suddenly became dark and unclear, "Rosie, don't forget who is the bridge between Rose and me, who helped meBuying the raw materials to make Mary Lou, lent me 4.5 million to bribe the judges? Every step of my step, you must participate..."

"If I'm a criminal, isn't the acting mayor sitting next to me who is praised by the people an accomplice?" Robert asked in a deep voice, as the bleak autumn wind passed through the courtyard in front of them.

"I'm not denying this," Rosie said with relief, pulling the corners of her lips lightly, "I'm an accomplice and an accomplice. This is an indelible mark, and I've never shied away from it, and I've been atoning for it.Today, these sins are almost redeemed, and I have lost so many things, even if I can't go to heaven, I won't go to hell with you."

His expression was calm, and his tone was relieved.This sentence irritated Robert, who couldn't let it go. The other party stared at him fiercely and said word by word as if he had been denied his lifelong pursuit:

"No, that's not a sin—that, no, a sin. Rosie, you've done nothing wrong, you don't owe anyone in this city anything, and I don't. We haven't sinned in the first place, let aloneAtonement?"

Rosie raised her eyebrows and was about to retort, but Robert didn't give him a chance to speak: "I thought I explained it to you clearly when you came to the company to find me after Warren Schuberts died.I resorted to all means because I was driven into a desperate situation, and it was this city that forced me to do those things, not my fault! But since then, you have made up your mind to be my enemy..."

"Enough." Rosie interrupted aloud, "Robert, do you think it makes sense to talk about it now? Thirteen years have passed, and I didn't believe what you said then, and I don't believe it now. What's more,I'm tired of arguing with you."

"I explained it, I explained it to you frankly, from the bottom of my heart." Robert seemed to have not heard him at all, "At that time, CyberRose was still a small company that no one knew about, and the patent for bionics failed.There is a shortage of funds, and the market is blocked by white rhinos, only I know how remarkable my invention is, and it will definitely achieve far beyond this.”

"I desperately hope that I can succeed. I want the girl I like to see only me and make my family regret it. I want to surpass you!" Robert's eyes sparkled, "Rosie, it's not Robert nowDylan, but Bob is talking to you, back then he never planned to break up with you, even to be an enemy, he also thought about making up for you..."

"Bob is dead, or in other words, he never really existed in this world, only in my imagination." Rosie said lightly, "When I first saw you, I felt the beauty he hadIt is the most ridiculous thing I have ever done in this life, and I will never do it again."

"Wouldn't you like to hear what I have to say?" Robert frowned, showing that he was a little annoyed by the interruption.

"Don't you think we have nothing to talk about?" Rosie said dryly. "Our friendship was built on a beautiful misunderstanding. I foolishly pinned my ideals on someone who didn't exist, and then he shattered, that's all.Simple."

Robert's eyes gradually became deep, which was a kind of thoughtful long and far-reaching: "So, you are not willing to reconcile what happened back then-I don't mean the various disputes after that, it's just the beginning of our breakup.That day."

"Reconciliation?" Rosie smiled for the first time since entering the courtyard. He slightly raised his eyes and looked up at the flying ginkgo.It's something that happens between friends, are we friends?"

"Didn't we?" Robert asked rhetorically, changing the words into the past tense again, "...were we not?"

dazzling

Rosie smiled and shook her head: "Have you ever regarded me as a friend? Robert, I'm not quite sure why you would ask me to confirm friendship. This used to be the emotion you despise the most.It is the last thing in the set of doctrines. Now you come to save it, is it because you feel lonely when you are dying?"

His tone was decisive, "But it's a pity, I don't want to help you solve the loneliness, you are not worth it. Your so-called honesty just makes me feel sick, we are completely different people, and it is destined to be impossible to reconcile, sit together and rememberIn the past, this kind of behavior was still too extravagant."

Rosie spoke relentlessly, with the words ringing loudly.He knew why Robert had repeatedly tested his attitude towards reconciliation. The other party lost everything after the defeat, deeply felt the emptiness of money and status, and turned to seek a closer connection with the world.Precious emotions are undoubtedly a more noble connection than fame and fortune.

But Robert has never had anyone who treats each other sincerely except him and Rose, so the other party tries to arouse his emotional fluctuations, and wants to get his nostalgia, sentimentality and reconciliation.Robert wanted to watch his entanglement and wavering before shooting, and once he was in pain for killing his former friend, he could die smiling with a great sense of accomplishment.

This was another cryptic confrontation, the last confrontation with Robert when his fuel was exhausted.Rosie watched the fallen leaves roll by the pool as they were swept up into the sky by the autumn wind until they disappeared.He intentionally said the words very badly, because he didn't want Robert to get what he wanted. This scum who caused the ruin of thousands of families didn't deserve a little friendship.

However, despite his merciless performance, Rosie knew that he had already lost. His insistence on cutting off the past with his own hands shows that he has never let go of the past.But Robert may not win, because he also decided to shoot without a trace of weakness, shooting through the opponent's head.

"I understand," Robert said slowly after being silent for a moment, "I understand. You don't care about my attitude, because you have already become the winner of this war, and you don't need to reconcile with the loser.You have replaced me and have everything that should belong to me, supreme authority, wealth and fame... How does it feel to sit in my place?"

"Do you think I'm you? I never cared about those things." Rosie snorted coldly, "The position of mayor that you regard as precious is just a means in my eyes, not a precious thing, I don't careYour attitude is just because you don't deserve it."

Robert continued talking self-containedly, with a happy smile on his face, and then changed the topic: "...But Rosie, did you really win? You won this war, but lost your most importantThings, compared with the person who died, these extraneous things are really not worth mentioning, aren't they?"

There was a crack in Rosie's perfectly disguised expression, and the sudden widening of his eyes betrayed the panic in his heart.Robert's words accurately pierced his deepest wound, and forcefully gouged it open along the wound, and he was beaten back to his original form from the cold and efficient executioner.

"You don't know how your little lover fought desperately in that sealed building in the end." Robert said with a calm expression, "Although Poseidon couldn't hurt him, the underground cable transmitted the video from Medusa's perspective.By the way, Medusa is the most proud work of the R&D center, no matter how many times it is killed, the metal monster can be resurrected."

"Stop talking, I don't want to know these details." Rosie's lips trembled, and her face became terrifying, "You crazy devil, how dare you mention Huailing, what right do you have to mention him in front of me..."

Robert smiled: "Don't you love him very much, why don't you want to know the details of his death? Let me tell you, how he exhausted his useless efforts time and time again, cut open the snake's body, and watched helplessly.It healed, and finally, when it was exhausted, it was poisoned by the snake and couldn't move; how did it dodge Medusa's attack, hide and hide, but it still couldn't find a way out."

"Shut your mouth, or I will make you unable to speak for a second." Rosie stood up suddenly, and he pulled out the pistol in the pouch, and pressed the muzzle to Robert's forehead.The shadow in his eyes was like a rising tide, crazy and cruel, "What on earth do you want to do? You have already taken him away from me, isn't that enough?!"

"He had a chance to escape, but he gave up in order to fulfill your ideal. You didn't see his dying appearance. It was a symbol of a bad death. His whole body was covered in black blood, and he couldn't even stand up. That's it.Died alone in the explosion with no one around him."

Robert raised his head to meet the muzzle of his gun. His face was vaguely similar to that of a polite military student more than ten years ago, but there was a vicious light in his eyes, "—it's a pity, isn't it? At the last moment, you stillCouldn't beat me."
