The Greatest Man Alive

Chapter 546

Chapter 546

Leonardo went to the Méreau Clinic directly with the contract that Paul gave him.

Josua had been transferred to the general ward already, but she still lived in a VIP ward right now.

This VIP ward was so well-decorated that it was even like a high-class suit in a luxury hotel, and only those who had power and money could live in such a special ward.

The Méreau Clinic was famous around the country already, and there was a continuous stream of patients all the time, some of whom were renowned figures.

Josua was feeling much better now, but she still looked very pale. She was surprised that Leonardo didn’t come to bother her for all these days. However, speaking of the devil, as she thought this, Leonardo showed up in her ward, which made Josua blame herself for being such a doomsayer.

“Hey, what are you reading, Ms. Porter? Wow, it’s Jane Eyre, that is a good book indeed,” Leonardo came in with a big smile on his face, and he was holding a fruit basket in his hand.

Josua’s face darkened immediately, and she felt uncomfortable somehow as soon as Leonardo came into her sight.

She thought she could face Leonardo calmly this time, but things were not like what she had imagined. After all, there was a difference between imagination and reality. Moreover, she lost to Leonardo again, and she would have been dead but for him.

Josua looked at Leonardo with a cold expression, and said, “What are you doing here? You know you are not welcome here!”

“Please watch your language, and I have to remind you that you are breathing right now only because I saved your life, and I paid all your medical expenses as well. So this is your way of treating your life- saver?” Leonardo replied.

Josua put down the book immediately, and even the Bible couldn’t make her calm down right now in front of Leonardo, let alone Jane Eyre.

Leonardo sat on the couch, picking out an apple, and peeling it with a knife.

“Do you want to have one? I’ll peel one for you,” Leonardo smiled.

“Of course!” Josua said with a cold smile.

While Leonardo was lowering his head, and peeling the apple, he asked, “Did you send my greetings to my mother after you came back to Emperia City?”

“I came to see her once, but she seemed skinny and listless. She was in bad condition right now, and she really wanted you to pick her up for a reunion,” replied Josua.

Leonardo shook his head, “My mother is not that kind of negative person. She’s gentle and strong, and she treats her friends kindly, as well as herself… She wouldn’t say something like that because she knew I would be in great danger once I came to Emperia City…”

“Let me guess, she should be leading a good life right now, keeping a healthy diet, sleeping well and taking a walk sometimes, and her body is in good condition.”

Josua was stunned for a while, and then said, “You are right, she’s doing alright, and she even wanted me to tell you to stay away from Emperia City.”

On hearing this, Leonardo smiled suddenly, “I knew it, you couldn’t lie to me about this…”

“I have to admit, she’s a very gentle person, and I feel very comfortable getting along with her. But I just can’t figure out why such a kind woman would give birth to an asshole like you!” Josua said.

“Why don’t you help us too now that you like her so much? Isn’t it a beautiful thing to help my family be reunited again?” Leonardo said.

With a cold expression on her face, Josua didn’t answer him at all, and she didn’t even bother to answer him.

Leonardo threw the apple into her hands after be peeled it, and said with calm, “The Mendez family are all bastards, they even tried to take control of my mother. Even though my father couldn’t talk, he was a good guy, and the Mendez family had no reason to look down upon him.”

“The Mendez family didn’t look down upon him. They were just angry because your mother didn’t follow their orders and your father did something that crossed the line. Or should I say, it’s your parents who challenged the authority of the Mendez family,” Josua took a bite of the apple, and said in a cold voice.

“The Mendez family doesn’t respect human rights, and that’s the reason why there are so many people standing against them,” said Leonardo.

“Your mother was a member of the Mendez family as well, so she had every reason to follow the orders made by her parents,” Josua retorted.

Leonardo burst into laughter suddenly, “Human rights never come from the leader of a country nor from parents. From the perspective of traditional culture, virtue means to give up our personal rights, allowing the seniors of our family to take control of all the family resources and a king to take control of all the social resources…”

“Only when the boundaries of private right were clearly drawn could the law be defined and the real virtues come into being. We have to change our ideas from petty farmer ideology, patriarchy, and monarchy to individualism so that our society can evolve from a traditional society into a modern one. Only thus, can we really accomplish the modernization transformation in our mind.”

After saying this, Leonardo tapped his head lightly with his hand and said, “Your ideas are too rotten, and old-fashioned. It’s someone’s own business to decide whom that person is going to marry, and no one can make the decision for them.”

“But in the end, it’s still a tragedy. The Mendez family is so powerful that no one escapes from their clutches,” Josua replied coldly.

Leonardo laughed again, “That’s why we have to destroy them! That’s why there are people like Thunder West and Maurina Perkins showing up in Hechland. They always want to take control of everything with their power, as if they were the king. They just don’t know, some birds aren’t meant to be caged, since they are longing for freedom.”

Josua kept biting the apple without saying anything, and she really didn’t expect a douchebag like Leonardo would say something like that, and she was somewhat surprised by it.

“You are leading an honorable life because you are working for the Mendez family. But if the Mendez family wants to deprive you of everything, they’ll do it easily at any time. Are you willing to be a person living under the roof of someone else, and let them take control of you?”

“Or should I say, the Josua that I knew before has already gone, and changed into a person who bows and scrapes to men of power.”

Leonardo sighed while shaking his head slightly, and then he said, “Maybe Maurina Perkins also feels the same way!”

Josua gritted her teeth with her cheeks sucked in, and raised her head with a vicious expression, yelling in a fierce voice, “Shut up!”

“I’m just talking about facts, or maybe, I just want to leave a seed in your heart that may take root and turn into flowers one day,” Leonardo said with calm.

“After all, it’s troublesome to have an enemy like you!” Josua could only sneer to reply.

“Of course, it would be great if what I just said could make you betray the Mendez family at some critical moment!”

“I won’t do anything that benefits no one but my enemies, unless you die in front of me,” Josua said with cold eyes.

Leonardo suddenly pushed his face towards Josua, smiling, “I am not going to die, because if I die, those disgusting people must be feeling very happy, right?”

“What are you doing?” Josua was in astonishment.

“Now you seem much better now, and it’s time you paid the price. I can’t just save you for nothing. Besides, you also lost the bet with me…” Leonardo kept smiling as he said those words with icy calm.

“You bastard! ” Josua was burning with anger.

But Leonardo just burst into laughter, and said, “I was just kidding, and I’m not a bastard. It would be bad if your wounds opened up.”

After saying this, he took out the contract that Paul gave him, and threw it in front of Josua.novelbin
