Chapter 532
“Could it be the remnants of the Lane family? Are they trying to annihilate the other four
major families?”
Just then, Grant’s son, Fred, said, “Sydney, you won’t need to go to school starting
tomorrow. I want you at home 24 hours a day!”
“Oh, Dad, it’s not that bad. I don’t want to stay cooped up at home all day!” Sydney
replied impatiently. She was the restless sort and would rather die than be confined at
home all day.
Grant furrowed his brows and said, “Listen to your father. Until we find out what happened
to Kai, you’re not allowed to go anywhere!
“But I don’t want that. I still need to go to Long Lake Industrial Zone later,” Sydney said as
she headed upstairs.
Grant turned to Fred and said with authority, “Keep an eye on your daughter. If something
happens while she’s out, I’ll hold you
responsible!”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtFred nodded repeatedly.
At that moment, the butler walked in from outside and said.
respectfully, “Mr. Zell, the distinguished guest you mentioned has
arrived!”
Grant’s face lit up. “Fred, come with me to welcome Mr. Murphy!”
“Mr. Murphy?” Fred looked puzzled. He had not heard his father
mention any distinguished guest coming over today, and it was already quite late. Why
would someone visit them at this hour?
Grant smiled and said, “Don’t you remember when I asked you to visit someone for an
apprenticeship?”
Astonishment clouded Fred’s face at that. “Are you talking about
Dylan Murphy, the senior from the Capiton National Martial Bureau?”
Grant stroked his beard spiritedly and said, “Exactly. Come with me to greet him.”
Fred took a moment to process this. Dylan was one of the top martial arts experts in
Jonford, after all. He could not believe his father had been classmates with him. When his
father had initially asked him to go learn from Mr. Murphy, he had adamantly refused.
He should have known that Mr. Murphy was the famous Dylan Murphy of the National
Martial Bureau. He was probably a martial arts grandmaster by now.
Sydney’s phone in her bag rang when she went back to her room. She picked it up and
saw that it was a call from Nash.
“Why is this guy calling me? Is he trying to apologize for embarrassing me during the
day?”
Amused, she answered the call.
“Sydney, I want to apologize for what happened earlier today,” Nash
started.
He really was apologizing. At that, a faint smile made its way to Sydney’s lips as pride
swelled within her.
After all, Nash was no ordinary person. He had smitten the Green
Bamboo Association and the Black Tiger Hall with ruthless efficiency. Yet here he was,
humbly apologizing to her.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmLetting out a few coughs, Sydney teased and said,” Nash, your
apology doesn’t seem sincere enough.”
“How would you like me to apologize?” Nash asked leisurely.
“Hmm… Let me think. How about inviting me to your house for a meal tomorrow?”
“Sure, no.
Nash readily agreed.
“And you have to cook it yourself!” Sydney added.
“Absolutely, I’ll do the cooking,” Nash promised.
“You’re acting strange,” Sydney noted, her tone changing. “Do you
have some other request for me? What’s going on?”
When did Nash become so agreeable? What happened to his condescending attitude from
yesterday?
Nash chuckled. “Sydney, you’re really sharp. Well, I do have something
to ask you…”
“Alright, I’ll come over for that meal tomorrow before we discuss.
anything else.”
