Chapter 51: Staying with Jun is Like Staying with a Tiger!
Seeing Charles Griffiths being so enthusiastic towards Jun Chester, all the classmates present couldn’t help but feel envious. Among their group, Charles Griffiths was undoubtedly the most successful one. He was the executive director of Lordran Prosperity. The stocks he held alone were worth over a billion.
What’s more, Charles Griffiths was not even thirty years old! It was said that Lordran Prosperity was planning some major moves recently. They were preparing to go public. Once Lordran Prosperity was listed, Charles Griffiths’ net worth would likely increase nearly tenfold. What did that mean? Charles Griffiths could very possibly become a billionaire before thirty!
Now, Charles Griffiths was treating Jun Chester as if they were close brothers. When they saw this, they couldn’t help feeling a bit unbalanced.
“That Straight-E idiot just happened to help Charles Griffiths at the right time, leaving a lasting impression on him…”
“How lucky!”
“No wonder Sandra Simpson did so much for Jun Chester today. She must have been looking at Charles Griffiths’ face.”
Jun Chester heard these whispers but didn’t pay them any mind. He patted Charles Griffiths on the shoulder, joking with a smile. “That’s enough, man. Don’t be so emotional.”
Charles Griffiths laughed heartily. “What’s wrong with being emotional? We shared a dormitory in high school. Although we aren’t blood brothers, we are as close as they come.”
As soon as he finished speaking, the enchanting woman named Dan, whom Charles Griffiths called, and a few other classmates gathered around. When she saw the rotten vegetable leaves in the back of the pickup truck Jun Chester drove, Dan couldn’t help but mock. “Jun Chester, are you selling vegetables for a living now?”
Jun Chester just smiled and didn’t respond. Others chimed in. “Charles Griffiths, now that you’re so successful, don’t just thank Jun Chester. You should help him out too.”
Charles Griffiths laughed loudly. “You blind fools! If you knew his current identity and status, you wouldn’t be speaking like this.”
Everyone sneered. “Jun Chester, what’s your identity and status now?”
Jun Chester didn’t answer but glanced at Charles Griffiths, feeling that his words were a bit unusual. Could it be that Charles Griffiths knew his true identity? Charles Griffiths called everyone to go inside. “Alright, let’s not stand outside any longer. Sandra is waiting upstairs. Let’s hurry in.”
The group headed towards the Riverbank Hotel’s lobby. At this moment, a stern-looking young man walked towards them. His figure was tall and straight like a sword, and his demeanor was extraordinary. It was Dawson London. Everyone’s eyes lit up when they saw him, as if a group of fanatical fans had just seen a stunningly beautiful superstar.
“Look, it’s Dawson London!”
“I heard he recently returned, so it’s true!”
“But why would he be here now that he’s a general?”Property © of NôvelDrama.Org.
“What’s so strange about that? The Riverbank Hotel belongs to the London family.”
“So, has he given up being a general to inherit the family business?”
As everyone discussed, Jun Chester also noticed Dawson London and was slightly taken aback. He wondered why Dawson London appeared here. Wasn’t he supposed to be preparing for the upcoming martial arts tournament?
Dawson London saw Jun Chester as well. But upon seeing him, Dawson London’s expression involuntarily tensed up. After all, Lucy London had taken Dion on a reckless car race yesterday and even scolded Jun Chester in the middle of the road. Until now, Dawson London couldn’t forgive Lucy London’s outrageous behavior.
Dawson London quickly approached Jun Chester to salute. “Lord…”
Before Dawson London could finish, Jun Chester waved his hand nonchalantly and asked, “Instead of training properly in the army, what are you doing here?”
Dawson London looked nervous. “My father wants me to return and inherit the family business. I… am trying to persuade him.”
Jun Chester’s brow furrowed slightly. “If that’s the case, then just be a young master at home. You’re good for nothing!”
Upon hearing these words, Dawson London immediately knelt on one knee, trembling with fear.
“I-I didn’t mean it that way.”
Seeing this scene, especially Charles Griffiths and the enchanting woman named Dan, all widened their eyes.
Dawson London!
The youngest general.
In front of Jun Chester, why did he seem like a primary school student afraid of his teacher?
But Jun Chester’s next words left everyone breathless.
“Have your father come see me later. I want to hear what brilliant ideas he has for your future.”
Everyone fell silent.
Dawson London’s father, Edward London!
The former richest man in the country!
His net worth was far beyond a hundred billion!
The London family was one of the most well-established families in Dirtmouth.
With generations of wealth accumulation, the London Group was now thriving!
The market value of the group was well over a trillion.
Under such circumstances, Edward London only had one son, Dawson London, and wanted him to return home to inherit the family business.
Was that wrong?
What did it have to do with you?
And what do you think you are?
Telling a general what he should do?
A clown!
But how could they explain the scene before them?
Dawson London seemed genuinely afraid of Jun Chester, and in front of Jun Chester, he even held his breath.
At this moment, a group of bigwigs emerged from the elevator of the Riverbank Hotel.
Leading them was Edward London, the current head of the London family!
At this moment, Edward London looked anxious as he rushed towards Dawson London.
It was clear that the father and son had just had a disagreement in the conference room upstairs.
So, Edward London had no choice but to chase after him.
When he saw Dawson London half-kneeling in front of Jun Chester, Edward London nearly fainted.
Yesterday, Lucy London had offended Jun Chester.
Today, had Dawson London offended Jun Chester as well?
At the Harding residence, Edward London had witnessed Jun Chester’s terror firsthand.
In front of Lord Charlton and the head of the Special Security Agency, Jun Chester had simply disappeared.
The scene at the time couldn’t even be described as shocking.
Edward London wanted Dawson London to give up his military position and return home to inherit the family business because he was afraid.
What if his son made a mistake while working for Jun Chester?
As a father, he was just concerned about his son!
And Charles Griffiths, seeing Edward London appear at the Riverbank Hotel, also held his breath.
Some even looked at Jun Chester mockingly.
No matter why Dawson London was so servile in front of this guy, what could Jun Chester say now that Edward London was here?
