Chapter 52: I Personally Handpicked All of These People
But the scene that followed left everyone present dumbfounded.
After seeing Jun Chester, Edward London hurried over with a jog.
“Mr. Chester, it’s an honor to have you at our hotel!”
At that, Edward London glanced at Dawson London, who was kneeling on one knee beside him.
He slapped Dawson London on the back of the head.
“You bastard! Did you offend Mr. Chester again?”
“Did you?!”
Dawson London was extremely frustrated, but he remained silent.
Then, Edward London looked at Jun Chester, sweating profusely.This content belongs to Nô/velDra/ma.Org .
“Mr. Chester, yesterday, my daughter offended you. As a father, I should apologize in person.”
“But…”
Before Edward London could finish speaking, Jun Chester waved his hand.
He signaled that Edward London didn’t need to be so nervous.
But in Edward London’s eyes, this gesture was mistaken for impatience.
For a moment, Edward London didn’t know what to do.
Last night, after Lucy London returned home, she recounted the entire story of her taking Dion Chester on a reckless car race to Edward London.
It nearly scared Edward London to death.
At the time, Mary Myers and Supreme Lord’s daughter were also there.
One called Jun Chester by his name directly.
The other claimed to be Jun Chester’s disciple.
What did that mean?
What was Mary Myers?
What was Phoenix Myers?
Either one of the mother-daughter duo could not be offended by Edward London.
Either one of them could easily destroy the London family with just a flick of their fingers.
Jun Chester’s son had only been missing for a few hours when the two women rushed to the scene themselves. Lucy London even told him that the wife of the Supreme Lord wanted to take Jun Chester’s son as her godson. All of this made Edward London feel like his head was about to explode. What did it matter if he had a fortune worth billions? In the face of the state machinery, he was nothing.
As he thought this, Edward London was ready to put all his dignity aside and kneel before Jun Chester. But Jun Chester appeared indifferent, addressing Dawson London, who was on one knee. “Stand up first,” Jun Chester said. Dawson London stood up immediately.
Jun Chester then looked at Edward London and spoke calmly. “I understand your intentions. It’s only natural for you, as his father, to consider his future. But as his superior officer, I also have something to say to you.” Hearing this, Edward London heaved a sigh of relief and bowed again. “Please, go ahead.”
The scene left Jun Chester’s classmates gasping in disbelief, unable to calm their emotions for some time. Jun Chester was the youngest general in Lordran and Dawson London’s superior officer? This was beyond belief.
Jun Chester paid no heed to the reactions of others, continuing to look at Edward London. “I have always been paying close attention to this child. He is very talented, and I even think he can become Colbert’s successor. Before I left the army, I told Colbert the same. With the help of Colbert and Phoenix, his progress over the years should be evident. So, I still hope you will reconsider his future carefully. Moreover, I heard from Colbert that he has been transferred back to Dirtmouth now, and I will personally mentor him from here on.”
“All those generals were handpicked by me, and his current position in the army is vital. In half a year, he will inevitably become one of the top ten generals. As for the future guardians of the nation, he is within my consideration. In comparison, your family’s business seems like a waste of his talent.” Jun Chester’s words left everyone around with their heads spinning.
Each word that reached the ears of those present was as shocking as a thunderbolt, particularly when Jun Chester mentioned Colbert and Phoenix. Colbert, Lordran’s Commander-in-Chief, Colbert Osborn? And Phoenix, Lordran’s first female general, Phoenix Myers? Moreover, all those generals were handpicked by Jun Chester himself? The scene fell silent.
Those classmates who had once mocked Jun Chester outside the hotel now wore incredulous expressions. But what Jun Chester’s classmates didn’t know was that Lordran’s first female general was the daughter of the Supreme Lord. However, Edward London, as a business magnate in Lordran, knew who Phoenix Myers was. Over the years, Dawson London had been receiving guidance from Phoenix Myers and even Colbert Osborn.
By now, Dawson London was so excited that he could barely contain himself. Nothing could make him happier than gaining Jun Chester’s approval. He immediately made his position clear to Edward London. “Dad, I’ve decided, in this life, I will never consider going into business. I want to become a guardian of the nation!” Edward London was equally excited, but he couldn’t find the words to say.
He knew what was important. His son was now deeply valued by “Lord Chester” Jun Chester. Could he even become a national guardian in the future? How lucky he was! In comparison, the London family’s business was indeed holding Dawson London back.
Just as Edward London was about to speak, Jun Chester spoke calmly. “You should think about it. Of course, I’m only asking you to consider how not to hinder Dawson London, not anything else. Since Dawson London has said this now, don’t blame me if you don’t support him. It’s not impossible for me to have our people acquire the London Group later on.”
No one knew what Edward London was feeling at this moment. Overbearing! It was too overbearing! Edward London wore a bitter smile. “Alright, since you’ve said that, I’ll leave my son in your hands from now on. If he makes any mistakes, feel free to punish him. No problem at all!” Jun Chester couldn’t help but laugh.
“Alright, I came here today just to have dinner with my classmates and nothing more. If you have nothing else to do, you can go ahead and get busy.” Edward London looked bewildered. “Dinner? Then I must eat with you all! Which floor?” Jun Chester replied, “The twelfth floor.” Edward London grinned.
“You don’t have to be so low-key. How about this, I’ll go and have my people prepare the VIP room for you, please come this way.” Jun Chester couldn’t refuse. But just as he was about to call for Charles Griffiths to go upstairs, a plump woman suddenly ran out of the elevator hall, looking panicked. “Something terrible has happened! Jun Chester, did you drive here? Hurry, it seems like Sandra has been poisoned!” “I’ve called the hospital, but it will take a long time. Let’s get Sandra to the hospital quickly!” The plump woman was one of their classmates. She had just run over, and a group of people appeared behind her. They were all hotel staff, and one of the managers was pushing Sandra Simpson in a wheelchair, rushing towards them. Sandra Simpson’s face was covered in purple-black, and her facial features were bleeding!
