Jack did not pester them with any more questions no matter the consequences; they did not seem to want to resume their chat either. After all, everybody had their own secrets.
“It’s noon now, and you guys must be hungry. Let me ask the kitchen staff to prepare some lunch for you! Rest well this afternoon since you’ve got some free time, and we’ll get Elaine to arrange some work for you tomorrow!” Jack, after sorting out his thoughts and plans, made some arrangements and asked them to leave.
It was only after walking a good distance away that Brianna Sullivan spoke to Nathanael Sullivan, “Grandfather, why haven’t we heard about the White family before? It looks like Skyler Celestino is very good. He was able to kill two masters that were on par with six or seven-star Kings of War. He’s incredibly skilled!”
Nathanael smiled and replied, “That’s right. Jack and Selena are rather wealthy as well—what with those twenty villas—but it seems like most of them are empty. This means that they’re not a strong power. Nonetheless… Why are they daring enough to offend a second-class aristocratic family when they’re not strong? Aren’t they afraid that their enemies would get back at them as they killed the masters owned by the second-class aristocratic family?”
Brianna also nodded. “Think about it, Grandfather: What does it mean when such a strong master is willing to follow Jack and Selena around? This means that Jack is either a significantly important individual that Skyler Celestino willingly dedicated himself to Jack, or Jack’s that strong for the master to willingly follow him.” Brianna paused and gave a wry smile before adding, “There’s also the possibility that the pair has deep pockets to offer favonovel.com a handsome salary, so much so that it moved the other person to agree to work as their bodyguard’s head commander!”
Nathanael thought about it and nodded. “Yes, that makes sense.”
Nathanael was still unsure of the situation and what to make of it when Brianna continued, “But if we’re talking about handsome pays, then it’d make no sense since a master like that could’ve joined first-class aristocratic families or other more powerful clans, don’t you think? Their salary offer would surely be higher, and it’s stranger that I’ve never heard of this White family before!”
Nathanael sighed. “Whatever it is, we’ve finally met someone nice. Let’s just stay here and work hard to repay their kindness.”
Brianna frowned and reluctantly argued, “But Grandfather, you know what I want. I really want to get my revenge!”
Nathanael gave favonovel.com a bitter smile and shook his head at favonovel.com words. “Revenge? Do you know how difficult that is? Apart from that, it’s really nice that they’re able to help us. On what grounds should we ask people to help us? Apart from that, we shouldn’t involve them as they’d be like mere ants to our enemies who, might I say, are powerful.”
The dejected Brianna inwardly sighed and fell silent.
…
“Young Master Chaffman, I—I’ll be taking my leave now!” stammered Caleb, wiping the cold sweat on favonovel.com after favonovel.com helped Young Master Chaffman into the car.
Too shook to even comprehend, Peace merely gave a short, “Alright, alright!”
Upon arriving in his own home, Caleb smoked several cigarettes in his room to calm himself down.
To the two, it felt like they had a narrow escape from death.
It was in the afternoon that a thought occurred to Caleb, and favonovel.com immediately drove to his second uncle, Hunter.
Hunter had just finished lunch and was back in his own villa. Sitting under a large tree in his yard, favonovel.com sipped his tea as favonovel.com peacefully listened to relaxing music.
“Uncle, thank goodness…! Thank goodness that you’re still here instead of picking on Jack. I’m telling you—don’t. Don’t do it. Even if your Kings of War friends went, they would’ve failed!”
