Alex went abroad, but it was not exactly to pursue and capture Malvolio. It just happened that he was stabilizing the situation at the border those few years, and there were a few remaining evildoers aboard that he had to eliminate. Therefore, since he had gone abroad, he thought of eliminating Malvolio as well, along with the others. Never in a million years would Alex expect that Malvolio was thriving aboard. That was truly because Malvolio got more and more deranged later on, and he had never shown mercy when committing heinous crimes like arson, killing and robbing. Even the weak and the innocent were not spared by him.
"You are the weak! Even if I don't slaughter you, you will also be slaughtered by other strong people.
Instead of letting other strong people slaughter you and let them get stronger, it would be better for me to slaughter you to make myself stronger! You said that I am heartless? I once was a person with a heart, and I also had a happy family. However, my mother was driven mad. When my sister was just ten years old, she was sent to the bed of an old man as a present by a predatory man. Is there anyone more pitiful than my sister in this world? I have had enough of all the sufferings on earth! I'd rather become a murderous maniac than put my sister through that kind of suffering again! I just want to slaughter everyone!"
That was Malvolio's creed. While she was following her brother to live a wandering life and was heavily influenced by this brother, Isadora gradually became cold-hearted. She became hard-hearted.
At that moment, more than a decade had passed. Isadora was already thirty-year-old woman. She became no different from any heartless killers in this world. Back in those days when she and her brother made something of themselves abroad, someone from Kidon City once contacted Malvolio hoping he could bring a few men back with him, and the person would then give Malvolio a good position. Malvolio was even interested.
However, right at that time, Alex was at their heels again. Alex truly was a relentless person. He simply would not let Malvolio go. However, as they were abroad, Alex was not as in his element as Malvolio. Malvolio almost had Alex killed, but at that critical moment, Malvolio met Sebastian.
Sebastian Ford, who was an illegitimate child, was a few years younger than Malvolio! He was only about nineteen that year, but what Malvolio saw was a character more vicious than him. When Malvolio first saw Sebastian's gaze, he knew that Sebastian was certainly an incomparably cold-blooded lone wolf. Sure enough, Sebastian assisted Alex to hunt down Malvolio until he was put to rout. Malvolio, who had established his footing abroad with great difficulty, took sister with him and escaped once again. Back then, if Alex had not been seriously injured and
Sebastian had to first care for Alex's survival, perhaps Malvolio would have died in Sebastian's hands a long time ago.
Because he was pursued by Sebastian, he had no money and no men under him anymore. Therefore, when Malvolio contacted that important person in the country, that important person no longer cared about him anymore. After a long time, Malvolio learned that that important person unexpectedly was Alex's uncle, Axel Poole.
Later on, Malvolio was never as successful as he was back then anymore. He also tried to return to the country, but he no longer could find the opportunity anymore. That was because not long after that, Kidon City already completely became Alex's world. On the other hand, Alex's uncle, Axel, was so oppressed by Alex that he did not even have the chance to breathe.
Malvolio took his sister with him and had been wandering everywhere since then. Sometimes when they were fortunate, they could be pirates at sea for a period. Sometimes when he saw that his sister's health was not good, he would then take his sister to find a safe place to live a simple and quiet life.
However, because both the siblings had already gotten used to fighting and killing, just one day without committing heinous crimes made them upset.
Gradually, Malvolio missed his mother and wanted to return to care and maintain his mother's grave, but he was unable to return.
More than ten years have passed, but he has never found the opportunity to return to the country.
